You think, then, the church will

be the triumph of single sect-your

these days many persons have allowed
themselves to drift away from the high
and holy influences of religion. They
have lived so long apart from it that
they have lost the power of spiritual
discernment and of understanding such
things. It is said that if any man
will do the will of God he shall know of
the doctrine'-which is truer than some
are apt to suppose"


" You would, then, commend religion

Prof. Levi Stockbridge, of the Agri-
cultural College at Amherst, has made
some interesting experiments during
the past year upon the temperature of
the soil as compared with that of the
air, the results of which will create
quite stir among scientists and agri-
culturists, since they upset some uni
versally received ideas regarding the
growth and cultivation of plants, and
particularly the old theory that dew is
the condensation Of moisture from the
air. BY large number Of observations,
extending through six months Of the
last year, Prof. Stockbridge has proved
that all kinds of soil and in almost ev-
cry locality the temperature is actually
six degrees warmer than that of the at
mosphere. In only one instance was
the air found warmer than the soil, and
that was in dense forest on a very hot,
still night. Similar observations on the
temperature of plants, very ingeniously
conducted, proved that they were one
and a half degrees warmer than the at
mosphere at night. The usually accept
ed theory of the "dew fall' has been
that dew was water condensed from the
air by coming in contact with the colder
surface Of the plants and soil, and the
ice-pitcher has been the favorite illus
tration. But these observations and
other ingenious experiments which were
made, prove that the dew is water evap-
GRATED from the soil and condensed by
coming in contact with colder air. Hence
the dew rises instead of falls. A famil-
lar proof of this theory will be found in
the moisture which collects prOfusely on
the inside of hotbed windows at night.

COLUMBUS, July 30.-General Robin.
son has just returned from the East, and
has made arrangements for brilliant
array of speakers in Ohio as soon as the
contest in Maine is decided The Gen.
eral in conversation stated he was now
fully satisfied that General Ewing had
arrived at satisfactory understanding
with Mr.. Tilden, and that the Republi.
cans would have Tilden's barrel to fight
against. The feeling among Democrats
in New York has CONCEALED against
Senator Thurman, and the success OF
Ewing, they believe, will forever dis
pose Of the Senator as far as the Presi.
dency is concerned. A feeling has grown
strong in New York of late that it is of
little moment on what platform the
Democrats carry Ohio so that the State
is carried for Ewing, which, according
to the programme already arranged,
means Tilden as the candidate one year
hence. The New York Democrats OPEN
ly assert that so far as the imitation cry
is concerned they care not a straw at
this time, but with Ohio Democratic
they can easily dictate what the plat
form in 1880 shall be, as they will dictate
the financial part of 1t, and show con-
clusively that neither party can hope for
the vote of that State except on a hard
money basis. From the well-known
plans Of Tilden it is quite apparent that
the hard money Democrats in Ohio are
to support Ewing, well knowing that
the views he now advocates will never
be brought up again. The Nationals in
the meantime are to be courted and pet
ted with view of gaining their united
support. After the election it is quite
likely that they will discover that they
have only been used to advance Tilden
stock and cut Thurman's throat. 1t is
said on good authority that Mr.. Thur
man fully understands the scheme
which is being worked against him, and
is greatly depressed on account of what
he terms unfair and dishonest treat
ment.


The programme, as arranged in New
York, was well commenced at Lancaster
by Frank Mckinney, who stated that
the Democracy had no money, but that
the Republicans were rolling in wealth
Of course it is necessary to give out such
statement, as free disbursement of
Sammy Tilden's money at this time
might excite the suspicious of the Ma
tionals, who glory in their poverty. 1t
is also well known that the Democratic
Committee are spending considerable
money already, which gives rise to the
reports that the Eastern brethren have
already deposited retaining fee in the
hands of the committee.

There is more profit in feeding calves
hberally during the first year than later,
lnasmuch as early development is essen
tlai to full success in later growth. A
yearling heifer, bull or steer. can be
pushed into use year sooner if well fed
than after deficient feeding. The uues-
ton, what constitutes good feeding, does
not seem to be regarded with sufficient
interest by farmers who do not make
cattle raising special business. Ina
comprehensive sense it may be said, good
feeding il any kind that makes good
growth. Grass alone will not do as well
as with such additions as will increase
appetite and stimulate assimilations as
we'll. Calves, to do the best, should not
be kept on fattening food, as for in
stance, heavy grains. For the ordinary
farmer who raises but small number
there Is more profitable addition to good
pasturage than the refuse of the dairy
to which may be added kitchen sIops
that embrace table wastes other than
meats. A little grain may be a valuable
addition during summer and autumn-it
is certainly profitable after cold weather
has set in. Of course, it is pre-supposed
that good sweet milk is fed literally until
the stomachs of the young things are
prepared for other food taxing digestion
more severely. With due attention to
there requirements up to the first winter.
there comes a new demand-good stabl-
Ing. 1t Is good plan to make stanehiOns
the winter quarters. Calves take to
them kindly, giving the advantages of
cleanliness and separate feeding to meet
individual needs, besides exemption from
future trouble in breaking them to the
restraint at later period. SlOp feeding
with grain should be continued until the
next seasons pasturage is full, or even
later, if it may be done without other
cost than supplying the food. Such a
course never fails to yield good results,
barring only accidents. Ofcourse it will
be understood that the calves must be Of
good vigorous stock in the start. After
the first year of such feeding there will
be such thrift that the animals NAV
be trusted to take care of themselves on
any good fare. Yearlings so reared will
compare favOrably in size with twoyear
old animals that have been subjected to
the "rOughing it" system, and they will
give far more profit to their owners

Some of you appear to doubt if YOU
can decide for yourselves what YOUR yo-
cation in life is. Do not hurry. 'sDO
the duty that lies nearest thee: the rest
Will follow. Learn to do well the
the simplest, commOnest things;
these all fit you for the future. And do
not, above all, fall into the silly, child
ish cant of hating duty" and doing
things only for "love" 1t is the fatal


weakness of these days that love is ex-
allied, not merely above but in place of
all other virtues; that self-denial, self
control, courage, endurance, are all set
aside for the sake of love, which is per-
verted to mean Incidence and self-indul-
gence. This is not the love of the BIZ
Bile, but counterfeit weakness out Of
which spring evils innumerable, even in
the very bosom of our homes and
churches. Duty Is the very breath Of
God and the outcome of love to him, as
surely as warmth is born of fire. Ad-
here to this, and the path of life will un-
fold before you and the voice of the
Lord say to your souls: "This is the
way; walk ye in 1T" And by duty 1 do
not mean great action, suffering, OF sac
ritice, but the petty detail of daily life;
patience with noisy, quarrelsome, per-
verse children; obedience to parents; de-
votion to the comfort and pleasure Of
those about you; attention to your own
health, temperance; study of econO-
my and neatness in the household; and,
when the indoors duty is done, there
always some lonely person to
visit and cheer, some kindly, neighborly
act to perform; some church-wOrk to
help in. Be faithful over these few
things, Mary Ann, and the work of your
life will find you out in good time and
welcome you.

Sunday Afternoon for August.
Over the fields by winding ways


We wandered ON together,
Under the flashing azure skies,


In hush of August weather
Round about us, afar and near,


We heard the lOcusts humming,
And the asters s.arring the lonely path


Laughed out TO see us coming.
Bird songs out of the sunl.t oak


Fell rippling through the shadow,
Like spear of ia ne the cardinal flower


Burned out along the meadow.
Into our hearts the blithe wind blew,


Its own free gladness giving,
And all things laughed in the happy earth,


For the pure, sweet joy of living.
Two roamed on with their eyes alight,


And their hearts too still for laughter,
Two in a revel of golden life,


Looked neither before nor after.
One went dreaming with dewncast face
Through the hush of the woodland cover,
But one praised God from trembling hear
That the shadow of pain was over.

American Manufacturer and Iron World.


Probably never in the history of the
world have mechanical invention and
scientific discovery been brought to
bear so universally and effectually to
cheaper and improve the products of
industry as in the past ten years. Es-
pecially has this been the case in this
country, until, with our manifold labor
saving appliances, we have been ena-
bled to place our wares in all the lead
ing markets of the world, competing
favorably with the poorly-paid and
cheap hand-labor of the older countries.
The iron and steel industries are won
derful examples of the progress made,
every step, from taking the ores from
the mine to the finished product in tool
or machine, being chcapcned by labor
saving inventions while science comes
in to utilize what was formerly con-
sidercd worthless and magnify results
in increased values.


Blast furnaces now turn out double
the product of former years without
increasing the size, and from many
parts of the country we have been
told that iron was made at from 81 to
Sl4 per ton. Considering these facts,
and the facilities now known of util-
izing our abundant lean and cold short
ores, many of our conservative and
solid manufactures look with alarm
upon the persistent efforts of some of
our dealers to talk up" prices and
urge yet greater advance. If pig
iron can be made for sl4 per ton, or
even at sI5, it is thought that it would

Most boys, and, for that matter most
men, believe that the humming sound
made by the telegraph wires is caused
by the messages hulrying along to
their destination. Most men believe
that the sound is caused by the vibra-
ton of the wire in the wind. A writer
in an Austrian journal, however, calls
attention to tue fact that one who will
give close observation to both the wire
and sounds will find that the latter
make themselves obvious likewise when
there is total absence of wind; and in
quiet morning in winter, when the
wires appear to be covered with frost to
the thickness Of a finger, they never
theless carry on lively vibrations and
singing, while the air is totally quiet.
According to this writer, therefore, the
vibrations are due, not to the wind,
but to changes Of atmospheric tempera-
ture, and especially through the action
of cold, as a lowering of the tempera-
ture induces q shortening Of the wires
extending over the whole length OF the
conductor. A considerable amount oi
friction is produced on the supporting
bells, thus inducing sound, both in the
wires and poles.
