creasing the quantity of Milk in Cows, gives
it an Importance and value which should
place it in the hands of every person keeping
Cow. By actual experiment it has proven
that it will increase the quantity of Milk and
Cream twenty per cent, and make the Butter
firm and sweet. In fattening Cattle, it gives
them an appetite, loosens their hide and
makes them thrive much faster.

A REAsoR FOR GoISG TO CHUR en-
My desire is to give you one or
two good reasons for going to church
which do rot depend upon the au-
thenticity Of Christianity or upon
the sacredness Of the Christian Sab
bat at all.


Ny FIRST reason is, that unless a
man puts himself into a clean shirt,
polished boots and good clothes once
. week, and goes out into the public,
he is almost certain to lapse into
semi-barbarism. You know that un-
less you do this on the Sabbath, you
cannot do it at all, for YOU labor all
the week. There is nothing like
standing isolated and alone, with no
place in the machinery Of society, to
tone down ones self-respect. You
must be aware that you are not in
sympathy with society. You are
looked upon as an outsider, because
you refuse to come in contact with
society on its brOadest and best
ground. tell you it is good thing
for man to wash his face clean, and
put on his best clothes and walk to
the house of God with his children
on the Sabbath, whether he believes
in Christianity or not. The church
is . place where at least good morals
are inculcated, and where the vices
Of community are denounced. You
can afford to stand by so much Of
the church, and, in doing so, say:


"Hvre am I, and here are mine,
with stake in the welfare of society,
and an interest in the morals Of so.

Fifty years ago a terrible s0rm shook
the city Of London At the Cad of the
night, when the storm was at ia highest,
an aged minister living in the suburbs of
the city, was aroused by an earnest cry
for help Looking from his window he
beheld a rude man clad in the coarse
attire Of the sweeper Of the public streets.
In few moments when the rain came
down in torrents, aud the storm howlsd
above, the preacher, leaning his arm, op
the seavenger. threaded his way through
the dark suburbs. A


That very day strange old man bat
fallen speechless, in front of the scaven .

street sweeper had taken him in, laid him
on his own bed-he had not spoken once
and now he was dying.

At last, 10 narrow court, and up flight
of stairs that creaked beneath their tread.
and then into the death room.


1t was, in truth, a miserable place.


A glimmering light stood on broken
chair. There we're the rude walls, there
the solitary garret window, with the rain
beating through the rags aud straw, W hich
stuffed the broken panes-aud here
amid heap of cold ashes. the same
vaiise which it seems the stranger had
brought with him.


ln one corner, on the coarse straw of
the ragged bed lay the dying man He
was but half dressed-his legs were con-
cealed by military boots.


The aged preacher drew near and look
ed upon him. And as he looked-throb
-throb, you might hear the death
watch ticking in the shattered wall.


1t was the form Of strong man, grown
old with care more than age.


There was face you might look upon

irmly set, and quivering as though they

burning, unnatural in their glare.
