The man of severe toll, ac-
customed to fatigue, whether of
the brain or of the muscles,
thinks Of heaven as a place of
rest. The man whose lot is
cast among vicious associates
looks to heaven as the place of
pure society. The poor man is
interested in heaven as the
place of satisfied want. The
mourner for departed kindred
attaches great Importance to the
ideas ofreunion and recognition.
Analyze the conceptions which
any Christian forms of heaven,
and they will be found to have
been shaped by something spe-
cial in his personal experience.
The prominent points in his
hope are in contrast with GER
tain prominent points in his
earthly condition. He thinks
Of some present discomfort or
annoyance, and anticipates it's
opposite in another world.
What troubles him most in this
life is he delighted to believe will
be absent from the life to come.
Hence the value to SO many of
the various negatives by which
heaven is described in the Book
Of books. 1t is refreshing to
know that certain evils are not
there, and never will be there.
When Robert Hall, who was
for years = physical sufferer,
was asked what idea of heaven
was most constant in his mind,
he replied, in an interval of par
oxysms of piercing anguish,
"Neither shall there be any more
painl" Another, in different Cir
cumstances, would have answer
ed, ono sorrow," or ''No disap-
pointed hopes" or "No sin"
Take the single idea, NO" and
see how comforting it must be to
millions. What else do most
men so earnestly deprecate? For
the removal of what else do they
more devoutly pray, or more
persistently labor? Well, God
says there shall be no pain in
heaven, Whatever may be the
nature of the Spiritual body"
one thingis certain, it will be
subject to suffering. No feyered
blood, no innamed tissues, no
broken bones, no twinging
nerves, no ohstructed respiration
none of the thousand casulties
and forms of disease will be there
which here afflict humanity. All
in heaven is perfect health.


In this world how often does
pain, which no medical skill, no
curative agent, no tender ASST
duty of friends can relieve,
make life a burden and prompt
the desire for it's termination |!
In eternal life there will be no
evil to render existence tedious,
or excite a wish for its discontin-
uance. Here some sufferer ev-
cry hour is exclaiming, "Why
would you detain me? Let me
go. To die is gain" There,
as nothing can interfere with alb
solute ease, so nothing will di-
minish the enjoyment of the
whole being or make the per-
petuity of it's condition dis

ABGt II,


Who expressly desired that these words Of God
should be written on her grave for the comfort of
whoever should come here repentant and sorrow-
stricken:-


"Who is a God like unto thee? Thou
wilt all their sins into the depths of the sea.
''For the Lord shall covnfort Zion: lie viii con-
fort all her waste places, and he viii make her
wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the gar
den Of the Lord joy and gladness shall be found
therein: thanksgiving and the voice Of melody"
! And the stranger bowed himself to
the ground, as if he had heard an an
gels voice. Perhaps he did. Here was
the Iove-type of that heavenly love
that he was wildly clutching in faith
that was half despair the love that
survived sin and suffering and death,
and stretched a hand to save and sOothe
from the very grave itself.


Oh, Barbara, Barbara, your tender
ness had taught you to lay sweet
snares for every possible opportunity !!
| Oh, Barbara, Barbara surely God
must have comfOrted you in your lonely
waIkings in those green avenues by the
ruined abbey. He did not empty your
pure heart of its earthly love, but He
! dropped into it a balm which changed
| its bitterness to celestial nectar. Up in
Heaven, where you are, Barbara, there
is only Joy over the returning sinner


And still the stranger sat on the damp
winter sod with his face between his
hands. He was not wishing her back,
the dear love of his youth. Better
where she was, where no mortal soul
could ever touch that great love, which
was long enough, and strong enough,
to stretch from Heaven to earth. Only
there he sat, shutting out fl ON his eyes
the sweet, peaceful scenes around him,
even as they must be shut from his life,
and seeing far beyond the waste
places" and q wilderness" that his own
sins had made, into that joyful country
where q the ransomed of the Lord shall
return, where they shall obtain Joy
and gIadness, and sorrow and signing
shall flee away"


That night the stranger walked again
in front of that Iowly house in the quiet
bv-way. Christmas savors came through
the kitchen window, bright light gleam-
ed between the curtains, even sounds
of glad young laughter and merry song
reached the lonely watcher without.
And he could thank God for them now.
He could even smile In sympathy with
the Joy he might not share. He had
his Own.


In that lowly house, after supper,
when the young ones were quiet round
the fire, cracking nuts and asking nd
dies, Aunt Mary fell into a soft sleep OIL
the sofa. They saw her smile in hel
slumber, and when she woke she told
them In her subdued, pathetic voice
/, that she had been dreaming of pool

If all the desirable qualities in pig,
a vigorors appetite is of the first i'm
portance. A hog that will not eat, is Of
no more use than q mill that will not
grind. And is undoubtedly true that
the more a pig will eat in proportion to
his size, provided he can digest and as
simulate it, the more profitable he viii
prove.


The next desirable quality is, perhaps,
quietness of disposition. The blood is
derived from the food, and flesh is
derived from the blood. Animal force
is derived from the transformation of
flesh. The more of this is used in un-
necessary motions, the greater the
demand on the stomach, and the more
food will there be required merely to
sustain thevital functions-and the more
frequently flesh is transformed and
formed again, the tougher and less
! palatable it becomes.


This quality, quietness of disposition,
| combined with a small amount of useless
parts, or offal, has been the aim of all
modern breeders. Its Importance viii
will readily be perceived if We assume
that seventy-five per cent. of the food is
ordinarily consumed to support the vital
functions, and that the slight additional
demand Of only One-sixth more food, is
required for the extra Offal parts and
unnecessary activity. Such n coarse,
restless animal would gain, in flesh and
fat, in proportion to the food consumed,
only half as fast as the quiet, refined
animal. To assume that rough, coarse,
savage. iIl-bred mongrel hog VIII require
one-sixth more food than quiet, refined,
welI-bred Berkshire, Essex or Suffolk,
is not extravagant.


THE BARON steel process for convert
ing articles of cast iron into steel Is
now being used for the preparation OF
tools. The cast iron tools to be con
verted into steel are first placed in re-
volving drums, and the rough surface
which the castings present rs they leave
the mold is thus worn smooth by attr
ton. They are then packed in layers
in iron boxes, closely with clay, and
subjected to the action of oxiode of iron
or some other decarboniZing agent
After being annealed in these boxes fol
a period of from three to six days, thC
tools are brought into the state of NAL
leable iron, and it only remains to con
vert them into steel. This conversion
is effected by exposing them in a large
retort in the center of an oven to the
action of certain gaseous compounds o.


carbon. BY this means about a ton O.
iron tools in the retort may be convert


ed into steel in from eight TO ten min
utes.

Louisiana is favored the present yeal
with fair sugar crop, fair as to quanti
ty and more than fair as to quality
From all the sugar parishes we have
pretty much the same report, and that
grinding has commenced. Within the
past few days planters have appeared in
the market desiring to contract for the
sale of their crops, and we hear of one
instance on the upper coast, of II planter
who contracted to sell his entire crop,
which, when ready, will take the direc.
ton of Cairo and the railroad lead
ing thence to Vincennes. This seems
to be in accordance with the suggestion
made recently in the Times that the
present is the favorable opportunity Of
the sugar buyers at the north and west.
Three things conspire in their favor
just at this time, the low price of sugar,
the low rates of freight to Cairo, and
the high price of exchange in New
York. From all accounts there is plen-
ty of exchange in all the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and other
states to the north and west of those
named, but here in New Orleans ex-
change commands from four to five per
cent. premium. The merchants of the
west ordinarily buy their sugar in Jauu-
ary and February, but the facts men,
toned above certainly offer them very
great inducements to enter the market
now and contract for their sugar stocks,
bringing their par exchange and reOliz-
imp the handsome premium which IL
will here command. -NeO Orleans

M,. Caleb Gushing demands damages
in large sum for the interruption Of his
thoughts and the disturbance Of his na-
tural rest by reason Of a canine quadluped.
whose barking continues without inter-
mission from night even unto the NOM
ing. We trust Mr. Gushing is not that
lawyer spoken CT in a current paragraph
as having chargeda client for waking up
and thinking about your case in the night. "
If so the barking of the cur would be a
still greater aggrayation Of his mental
disturbance. In like manner, some one
greatly annoyed by the voice of peacock
demands that it shall be made more melo-
dious by such an operation on its
throat" as will either improve its voice or
put a stop to it altogether. There seems
a sort of equity in these actions at law,
for why should exhausted counselors in
the one case, or infrm and sleepless ladies
aggrieved in the other, be made to suffer
for that which brings no such annoyance
to the owner Of the nuisance.


Now, while this doctrine is being ap-
piled, we would like to ask Mr.. Cushing
a question, if it may be answered with
out charge. Where a newspaper with
very sore head, bays the moon
and the stars. and the darkness with a
bowling altogether unearthly and unan-
peasable. has an exasperated and ex-
hausted public no remedy? When i.
barks at the government above, and the
darkies around, and tears away the
breeches seats Of innocent strangers under
suspicion that they axe carpet-baggers, and
is afflicted with general cussedness that
will let nothing and nobody rest, is
there no remedy? VIII neither damages
nor injunction stop the noise? Will no
seductive sop OF soporifc drug, COM
pounded Of public printing or official pap
lull the irrepressible Cerberus into tempo
rary sleep? These are questions for Coun-
selor Gushing, and when he shall intimate
whether the peaceful public has remedy
at law in the premises, we shall be pre-
pared to submit case Of action.
