TREATMENT OP A BLOATED COW. , Bloating is due to overfeeding on "wet herbage and is caused by the accumula tion of gas in the paunch from the fer mentation of the food. The passagu to the stomach is closed by the pressure and it is sometimes impossible to get any relieving medicine into- the stomach. If this can be done, carbonate of am monia, given in one-ounce doses jdis- . solved in water, is moat useful. jBut mechanical means arc most effective.- A : lound stick, two inches in diameter, fast ened in the mouth like a bit, may afford relief, by inducing eructation of the.iga'. When all other means fail, the stomach may be punctured ou the left side of the cow, a little below the hip bone land . eight inches forward of it, so as to let out the confine 1 gas. 5Teu YorL Timet. 1 CULTIVATING TUB SMALL GKAINSi The notion of sonic agricultural writers that wheat, rye, oats and barley would in a few years be cultivated, as corn is now cultivated, is hardly warranted by any present experience. The spring ' small grains are undoubtedly benefited on rich land by harrowing when they come up, because on such land this, in duces the plants to tiller or spread, :L"and shoot up more stalks than they otherwise would. But when the plant is neariug t'.ie time for heading out cultivation would certainly be harmful. It would induce too rank a growth, causing the, straw to fall down, and, preventing; the heads from filling. The check to small grain from each stem crowding its neigh bor prevents any from getting an over supply of nitrogen, and is belter for, Ihe. crop than growing each plant by itself.' The scattering oat plants that sometimes, appear in hoed crops, passing through the excrement of grain-fed horse3, usually, ru-st su badly that neither straw nor grain1 is worth" any thing. Boston Cultivator. .. POULTRY l'OLNTS. An objection made by many womeu to the poultry business is their dislike' to selling their gentle pets alive. Whether the market be local or distant, more or less suffering is imposed on fowls, from fright, bruises, hunger, thirst, confine ment in crowded quarters, and often tiithy surroundings. Certainly these arc not the most healthful or appetizing con ditions to precede the dainty broil or roast; does not "man's inhumanity to man" deserve attention on this point? Again the demand for the laborious 'dry picking is a disconragcruent in the busy farm home to sending out dressed poul try. The least labor that will produce best result is of prime importance. Scald- ing to remove the feathers is much more easily and quickly done than dry picking. It is cleaner for nil fowls are more or less infested with, parasites. If carefully done there need be little or no. discolora tion of skin. Neither flavor nor keeping qualities seem to be affected by the scald ing. The principal claim made for dry picking is that the birds look better, and us goo I Iookare not to be despised, let bright women mt their minds to the matter and Icara how to make their scalded birds look as well as dry picked, and thereby confer a benefit oa producer' consumer and consumed. Air.-o York Tri'ntne. THK IIAV II VltTKST. The importance of the hay crop to the whole country at large ami the individ ual farmer" as well can scarcely be over estimated. For hay of the best quality in -all respects, that made from timothy glass stands highest in the public esti mation. Consequently this is the varie. ty to cultivate when the highest price, that can be obtained from critical buyers is the object aimed at. Other varieties often do better on certain soils, and clo ver -makes excellent hay when success fully cured. Besides, clover has a value other than for hay, a3 a renovator of ex . haustcd soils, that d,es not belong in au equal degree to timothy or other grasses .that may be preferred for the rack and manger. .- To get the most value from a timothy meadow the ground should be well pre pared before sowing the seed. In these days Of improved farm implements it goes w'.thout saying that a medow should lie smooth and free from sticks, stone? and other obstacles of every kind that 'would interfere with, the . running and 'operation of a michine. The seed sown .should be free frjm those of weeds or of other varieties, unless a, mixture' of grasses is intended, as issoinetimes the case. For most lmrnoses the value of timothy hay is increased by deferring tae cuttiug midline sccu is ripe cnougn to grow. i ' Curing without exposure to' riin is important with all varieties if the hay is ;to be of the best. To secure his con dition' beyond any peradventure every farmer should have a sufficient number of hay caps ready for an j emergency. Caps made from heavy unoiled muslin, if smoothly drawn down over well formed haycocks, will be sufficiently protecting, and such arc trheap and easily handled. JTeio Yori World, s iWEEDs A BLESSING. The farmer prepares his seed bed bj furnishing fertilizers, by making the ground mellow and bringing the plant food within Teach of the roots of the growing grain. So-called hoed crops need to have the ground made friable and pulverized after every rain and "'ber 'tween times," because frequently showers are "like angels' visits few and far be tween," as proved by last year's experi ence in many parts of Missouri and cls where. ; i ' But there never was a season so wet or so dry that the weeds did not grow apace. Indeed, they will cover all the ground unless destroyed by the frequent cultivation and hoeing. Just here is where blessing comes in. The destruction of the weeds cultivates the growing maize, the cabbages, the root crops, jetc, and but for the weeds many a lazy farmer would use neither hoe, cultivator nor plow and thus suffer the soil to , baketand thus cut short his crops often t more than fifty per cent. ;"Ah, ha!" says the farmer; "Oh, ho!" says the corn. Au observant and suc cessful farmer once mad? the remark that "there was as much manure at the tail end of a plow as iu the barnyani. That is a pretty strong statement and a very large grairi of truth. Every' plant or weed- defined as a plant out of place with its leaves, blades and roots be comes a fertilizer or green manure.1 , I Wise farmers plow under clover, rye or. buckwheat for improving- the cod dition or fertility of the soil, and the roots of clover form no inconsiderable portion of the plant as fertilizer. Clover is embraced in every rotation or system of farm crops, and is worthy of the place. ' Some weeds are so tenacious of life and will grow from ever so small a portion of root or ever so minute a seed that Legislatures have enacted laws for their destruction and imposed fines for the careless and neglectful farmer. And this is wise. The work in this direction ought to be more thoroughly done than than it is ; and, the laws, after having been enacted, ouht to be enforced without fear or favor. St.Louu Republic.

Any plot of ground that is not required , for a regular crop should be seeded down to some green manurial crop.

It is not always possible or convenient to cultivate a closely set quince orchard, i but it is not difficult to mulch it, and no fruit appreciates more what is for the I benefit of all.

The oceans and seas are the great reservoirs into which run all the rivers of the world. It is the cistern which finally catches all the ram that falls not only upon it3 own surface, but upon the surface ot the laud as well. All of this water is remove,:! again by evaporation as fast as it is supplied, it beiug esti mated that every year a layer of the cu tire, water surface of the globe over four teen feet thick is taken up into the clouds to fall again as raiu. Thrs vapor is fresh, of course, and if all the water of the oceans could be removed in the same way aud none of it returned, it is calcu lated that there would be layer of pure salt 230 feet thick left in the. bottoms of these great reservoirs. This is upou the supposition that each three feet of ocean water contains one inch of salt, and that the average depths of all 'oceans is three miles. At a depth of 3500 feet the tempera ture is uniform, varying but a trifle be tween the poles and the equator. ; In many of the deep bays on the coast, of Norway and other Arctic couutries the "water often begins to freeze at the bot tom before it does at the surface. At the same depth, 3503 feet, waves are not felt. AVaves do not travel that is, the water Iocs ' not move forward, al though it seems to do so; it remains sta tionary. It is the risingnd falling that moves ou. The pressure of the rapidly with the depth, of one mile the pressure about one ton to the water increases At a distance is reckoned as square inch, or more than 133 times the pressure of the atmosphere,.' To get correct soundings in deep wa ter is difficult. ,Tue best invention for that purpose is shot weighing about' thirty pounds, which cr.rries down a line. Through this shot or "sinker" a hole is drilled, an I through the hole is passed a rod of iron w hich moves easily bnck and fourth. At the end of the bar a cup is dug out, t; inside being coated with lard. The b ir is made fast to the line, a sling holding the shot in position .T Whea the bar, whi-:h extends below the shot, touches th. bottoaj, the sling un hooks and the shot slides downward and drives the lard coated cup into the sand at the bottom. In that way the charac ter of the ocean's floor is determined. If the surface of the Atlantic was lowered 6564 feet it would be reduced to exactly half its present width. If the Meditcrrancau were lowered 660 feet Italy would be joined to Africa, and three separate seas would remain. St. Lout llep'tblic. , , WOMAN'S WORLD. PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR FEMININE READERS.

A little ammonia or borax iu the wat r you wash with, and that' water just luke warm, will keep the skin clear and soft. A Irttfc oatmeal mixed with the-- watei will whiten the hands. Many people use glycerine on their hands when they go to bed, wearing gloves to keep the bed ding cleau; but glycerine doe3 not agree with every one. It makes some skin -harsh and red. These people should rub their hands with dry oatmeal nnd wcai gloves in bed. The best preparation ' for the hands at night i3 white of an egg with a grain of alum dissolved in it. Quacks have a fancy name for it, but can make it. They also make the Roman toilet paste. It is merely the white ol nil egg, barley flour aud honey. They say it was used by the Romans iu olden times. At any rate, it is a first-clas; thing; but it is sticky and does not do the work any better than oatmeal. The .roughest and hardest hands can be made soft and white in the space of a month by doctoring them a little at bedtime1; and all the tools you need are a nail brush, a bottle of ammonia, a box of jMjwdered borax and a little tine white sand to rub the stains off. or a cut of Lemon, which will do even better, for the acid of thg lemon will clean everythin!;. Chicago Xeic. OVERDOING l'HVSICAL EXERCISE. An expert on training asserts that wo men during the last three or four years have developed a dangerous tendency to overdo physical exercise. Of course wo men, as well as men, should regularly ex ercise, but it is most important that it be judiciously done. For example, the good effects of brisk walking for a mile night and morning are obvious. If the wqmau is strong, horseback riding willprov? in vigorating; but the women who take regular daily walks of -from five to ten miles, and remain for hours iu the sad dle, on a big, powerful, hard-gaited trot ter, are invariably (in this country) the slight, nervous, wiry little creatures, who have not a pound of flesh to lose. Con sequently, this wear and tear on their strength and nerves will, in 'time, cause a collapse, especially if this violent exer cise has been adopted after living for years a life of indolence. Could stout women be ersuaded to overcome the feeling of extreme fatigue which they ex perience after their first long walks, and continue them regularly and at a rapid gait, as near running as ossible, for a few week, the burden of superfluous flesh would soon be reduced, and their former activity return. The trouble is the wrong women do the exercising. Do not carry it to extremes. Cut down your walk to two or three miles if day. Take your ride in the morning, and limit it to an hour. You cannot get too much: fresh air, so drive and stroll out-of-doors as much as you can, dutdo not wear out, your body and bring premature lines, into your face by excessive exercise. , Dttroit Free iVw.

A reginieut once marched into Perigu eux to take up quarters there, and the whole town was out to see the soldiers enter. The citizens crowded out iuto the line of much. "Drive them back 1" commanded the colonel. Most of the spectators shrank away. Only one man remained immovable a great white haired man, with crossed arms, defiant mien, and a contemptuous smile on his lips. He was the Marquis' Marie de Sainte-Maria. A captain, named Roland, tapped him ou the breast with the baudle of his sword. Marie de Saintc Maire snatched the sword, snapped it over his knee, and threw the bits in Roland's face. A hand-to-hand fight followed. The marquis was arrested and confined in his hotel under a guard of three soldiers. He remained there five days, and then learned that at four o'clock on the following morning tbe regiment, with Captain Roland, would march away. To get his satisfaction he m ist hunt Roland down like a fox, and he resolved to do it. Early in the morning, he cli nbed up the chimney of the room iu- which he was imprisoned, over five roofs, and dowu the scuttle of the house of a friend. He swallowed a glass of wine, put a chicken bone in his pocket, got a sword and a horse, and galloped off toward the cross-roads which the regiment must pass on its way to Paris'. He arrived there at five o'clock. He dismounted, threw off his great coat, rolls up his sleeves, unsheathed his sword, and stood still in the middle of the Paris road. The regiment marched iuto sight presently, but the marquis did not move. It came within speaking dis tance, and he still stood motionless, sword in hand. The first line of the regimeut was but a tew rods away, but the marquis did not even turn an eyelash. "So far and no further," every line in his face said. The soldiers hesitated and haltered. The marquis shouted one word, "Roland.". "Forward, Captain Roland!"' commanded the colonel, and the captain stood before the marquis, sword in hand. Ten passes and the marquis had his sword through Roland's heart. He withdrew it, wipcl it care fully, rolled down his sleeves, threw on his big coat, and rode away to Perigu cux. Argonaut. A Profitable Trick. There are tricks in all trades but ours. Here is a trick that is played every day during the season on Americans in Lon don. It nearly always works, simple as it is. A gentleman from Rochester, N. Y., who is well known in that city, bought a pair of gloves on Oxford street the other day, gave the man :i sovereign, and took as Americans very generally do; his change without counting it, shoveling ' it o2 the counter! into his pockets. He was walking dofrn Oxford street when a bre ithless person overtook him and tapped him on the shoulder. "I beg your pardon, sir, but I'm very sorry, we gave you a shilling too much change." Did you f" said the American, pulling out a handful of change from his pocke: and looking at it hopelessly. "Yes, 6ir, I'm very sorry, sir, but you see, sir, it will ba taken out of my wages and I don't get any too much. AVe don't in this country, sir. Won't you come back, sir, and I'll explain how it hap pened?" "Oh, its all right," said the Rochester man, an J he handed the teltow a shilling. "Would jou like to go back and see If it's all right!" said the salesman. "Oh, not at all." "I am very much obliged to you, sir," said the clerk, bringing his forefinger up to his bare head. . That shilling and many others like it went iuto tha clerk's pocket. Detroit Free rreu. BEY. DB. TALMAGE.

You know that the rain is not an ' accident of the world's economy. You know : it was born ot thecloud. You know it was j '. rocked in the cradle of the wind. You know ; it was sung to sleep "by the storm. You know i that it is a ilying evangel from heaven t j i earth. ' You know it is the gospel of th9 . weather. You know that God is iu father. If this be true, then how wicked Is oiu murmuring about climatic changes. Trie ; first eleven Sabbaths after I entered tha ministry it stormed. Through the weak it was clear weather, but on the Sabbaths tha j " old country meeting housa looked like Noah's . i ark before it landed. A few drenched peo- j i pie sat before a drenched pastor; but most of j ; the farmers stayed at home and thanked ' ; GoJ that what was bad for tbe church was ; ; good for the crops. I committed a good deal I of sin in those days in denouncing the i weather. Ministers of the Gospel sometimes fret about stormy Sabbaths or hot Sabbaths, : or incleaieiit Sabbaths. They forget tha fact that the same God who ordained the '' Sabbath and sent forth his ministers to an nounce salvatiou also onlaitiei the weather. - "Hatn the raiu a father?"' - Merchants, also, with their stores filial - with new goods, and their clerks hanging ! idly around the counters, commit the same i ; trangression. There have been seasons when the whole spring and fall trade has ten ruined by protracted wet weathet. The : merchants then examined the "weather probabilities"' with more interest than they read thtir Bibles. They watched for a ' patch of blue sky. ' They went complaining : to the store aud came oonplaining home ; again. In all that season of wet feet and ; dripping garments and impassable streets they never once asked th9 question, "Hath the rain a father:'' ! So agriculturists commit this sin. There ' is nctjing more annoying than to have planted ' corn rot in the ground because of ! too much moisture, or nay all ready for the , mow, dashed of a shower, or wheat almost ' ready lor the sickle spoiled with the rust. How hard it is to bear the agricultural dis- ! appointments. God has infinite resources, i : but 1 do not think He has capacity to maka ! ! weather to please all the farmers. Some- times it is too hot, or it is too cold, it is too wet. or it is too dry; it is too early, or it is ! too late. They forget that tiie God who '. promised seed time and harvest, summer and j winter, cold and heat, also ordained ail cli- ; matie changes. There, is one question that ought to be written on every barn, on every f euce, on every haystack, on every farm- '. . house, "Hath the rain a father?" 1 If you only knew what a vast enterprise ; It is to provide appropriate weather for this , world we would not be so critical of the Lord, j .?iZnLa?re ?-! ; that he did not like the hymns that wera ! j f-unz m the English chapel. "Well," said bis father, "isaac, instead of your complaining ; about the hymns, go an 1 make hymns that ! are better." And he did go and make hymns I that were better. Now, I say t you it you : do not like the weather get up a weather . company and hive a president, anil a secre tary, and a treasurer, and a board of direc tors, and ten million dollars of stock, and then provide weather that Will suit ns all; ' There is a man who hps a weak b.3ad, an J he cannot stand the glare of th3 sun. You must have a cloud always hoverin? over him. I like the sunshine; I cannot live without : plenty of sunlight, so you must always have ; enough light for me. Two ships meet in " mid-Atlantic; The one is goins: to Souta : ftmpton and the other is corning to New : York-. Provide weather that, while it is ; abaft for one ship, it is not a head wind for the bther. There is a farm that is dried up : for the lack of rain, and there is a pleasure j pa'tJ going out for a field excursiou. tro ; vide weather that will suit the dry farm and ; tho pleasure excursion. No. sirs, I will not : take one dollar of stock in your weather company. There is only one Being in the : universe who knows enough to provide the : right kind of weather for this world. "Hath ' the rain a father?" My text also suggests Goi's minute super visal. You see the divine Sonship in every drop of rain. The jewels of the shower are : not flung away by a spendthrift who knows not how many he throws or where they fall. They are all shining princes of heaven. They all Lava, eternal linsj;j. They 1 are all the children of a kinj. -'Hath the i rain a father?' Well, then, I say if Go I i takes notice of every minute ra.udrop He i will take notice o tha most iusigniScant affair of my life. It is the astronomical View of things that bothers me. We look up into the niht heavens, and j we say, ."Worlds! worlds " and how insig- niflcant we feel! We stand at tbe foot of j Mount Washington or Mont Blanc, and we i feel that we are only insects, and- then we say to oursalVis, "Though the world is so ; large, the gun is oue million four hundred ; thoujand times larger," "OU!" we say, "it j is no use, if God wheels that great machinery br0u5h immensity Ke wilt not take the trouble to look down at me." Infidel con : c'usiou, ISaturn, Mercury and Jupiter are no more round?d and weighed and swum bv j tbe hand of God than ara the globules oa j a lilac bush the morniug after a shower, j God is no more in magnitudes than He is j in minutiee. If He has scales to weigh the mountains. He has balances delicate enough ! to weigh the infinitesimal. You can no ! more see Him through the telescope than you ! can 6eo Him through the microscope; no j more when - you look up than when vou look j down. Are not the hairs of your head a'l j numbered? And if Himalaya has a God, I "Hath not the rain a father?" I take this doctrine of a particular Providence, and I ! thrust it into ths very midst of your every ; day life. If God fathers a raindrop, is there j anything jso insignificant iu your affairs that i God will not father rhit? When Druyse. the gunsmith, invented tho needle gun, which decided tha battle of hadowa, was it a mere accident? Wnen a farmer's boy showed Blutcher a short cut by which he could bring his army up soon enough to decide Waterloo for England, was it a mere accident? When L.ird Bvrnn tnnb a piece of money and tossel it up to decide whether or not he should be affiance! to Miss Millbank, was it a mere accident which side of the money was up and which was down? When the Christian army was bjsiged at ! Baziers, and a drunken drummer came in at 1 midnight and rang the alarm bell, not know 1 Ing what he was doing, but wa'ring up the ' host in tim to fight their enemies that mo-,-1 raent arriving, was it wa3 accident? : When in one of the Irish wars a starving ! mother, flying with her starving child, sank down and fainted on the rocks in the night ; and her hand fell on a warm bottle of milk, j did that just happen so? God is either in the ! affairs ot men or our relisrion is worth noth ing at all, and you had better take it away from us, and instead ot this Blb e, which teaches the doctrine, give us a secular book, and let us, as the famous Mr. Fox, the mem ber of parliament, in his last hour, cry out; "Head me the eighth book of Virgil." urn my inenos, let us rouse up to an ap preciation of the fact that all the affairs of our life are under a king's command and un der a father's watch. Alexander's war horse, Bucephalus, would allow anybody to mount him when he was unharnessed, but aa soon as they put on that war horse, Bucepha lus, the saddle and trappings of the con queror ha would allow no one but Alexander to touch him. And if a soulless horse could have so much pride in his owner, shall not we immortals exult in ths fact that we are owned by a king? "Hath the rain a father?" Again my subject teaches ma that God's dealings with as are inexplicable. That was the original forqeof my text. The rain was a treat mystery to the ancients , They could WVV MUUL, .1.11 1. w. uv wvw.v (vi Into the ckud, and getting there, bow It should be suspended, or falling, why ifr should coma down in drop. Modern science, comes along aad says there are two portions of air of different temperature, and tney are charged with moisture, and the one portion of air decreases in temperature so the water may no longer be held in vapor, and it falls. And they tells us that some of tbe donds that look to be only a large as a maa'shand, and to be almost quiet in the heavens, are great mountains of mist four thousand feet from base to top, and that they rush miles a minute. But after all the brilliant experiments ot Dr. James Hutton, and Saussure, and other j scientists, there is an infinite mystery about j the rain. There is an ocean of the unfath- ! omabie in every raindrop, and God savs to- day as He said in the time of Job, "If you i cannot understaa i one drop of rain, do not 1 be surprised if My dealings witb vou ro in- j explicable." v ny does that aged man, d?- i ; crpit, beggared, vicious, sick ot the world, I and tbe world sick of him, live on, while 1 j here is a man in mid life, consecrated to . God, hard woricing, useful in every respect, who di?s? Why does that Old gossip, gad- I ding along the street about everybody's bus:- -I ness but her own.

Why does that man, sn'Gsh to the cara, g3 i on'. adding fortuna to fortune, consuming j l everything on himself, continue to prosper, ' while that man, who has'been giving ten per cent, of all his income ti God aad the church, i J goes into bankruptcy? . Before we make ; j slark fools of ourselves, let us stop pressing ! ; this everlastinr "ivhy."-v L-jt as worship j where we cannct understand. Let a man frske that one question, Vhy?' and follow ' it far enongii, and push it, and he will land ; in wretchedness ana perdition. We want in ; j our theology fawer interrogation marks and i more exclamation points. Heaven is the : : nlim for exolanation. Earth is the olace for ! truit. II you cannot understand so minute. "a thing as a rainirop, how can you expect ; toXunderstand Uoi'a dealings? "Hath the i raiira. f atherF' Again, my text makei ra9 think that the p rain ofVteara is of diviaa origin . Great i clouds of trouble sometimas hover over us. ' They are black, an i they aro gorged, and ! t 'ley are thunierou. They are more por- tenuous than Kalvator or Claude ever I painted clouds of poverty, or psrecution, j or bivavement. They hover over us, and 1 they "get darker and blacker, and after awhile a tear starts, and we think by an ! extra presura of the eyelid to stop it. Oth ! ers follow, and after awhile there is a show j er of teartul emotion. Yea, there is a rain I of tears. "Hath that rain a father?" "Oh," you say. "a tear is nothing but a : drop of limpid fluid secreted by the lach ; ryuial gleftd it is only a sign of weak eyes." ! Great mistake. It is on3 ot the Lord's rich I est benedictions to the world. There are j people iu Biackwell's Island insane asylum,. i und at Utica, aad at all thoaslums of this j land, who were dementei by the fact that i they could not cry at the right time. Said ! a maniac in one of our public institutions, ' under a gospel sermon that started the tear : "Do you" s?e that tear? that .is th9 first I , have wept for twelve year. I think it will help my brain." y There are a great .many in the grave who- '. could not stand any longer under the glacier ; ot trouble. If that glacier had only melted I into weeping they could have endured it. There have be?n times in your life when you ; would have given the world, if you had pos sessed it. for one tear. You cou'.d shriek, you could blasphome, but you could not cry. Have you never seen a man holding the hand ot a dead jvifo, who had been all the world l to him? The temples livid with excitement. ' the eye dry aud frantic, no moisture on the ! upper or lower lid. You saw there were I bolts of anger in the cloud, but nojain. To : your Christian comfort, he said, "Don't ; talk to me about Go! ; there is no God, or if ' there is I hate Him: don't talk to me about ; God ; would He have left me and these mother less children" But a few hours or days aftjr, comiag ; across son a lei 1 pencil that she owned in y life, or soins letters whic.i s io wrote when ' he was away from home, with an outcry that appals, there burst tha fountain of tear3, and as the sunlight; of Gad's consolation ' strikes th it fountain o tear.?, you find out , that it is a tender-hearte-1, merciful, pitiful 1 and a 1 compassionate God who was the ; Father of that rain. "Oil," you say, "it is ' nbsurd to think that God is going to watch . over "tears." No, my friends. There ara ; three or four kinds of them that God counts, .bottles aiii eteriiiiss, First, there are all parsntal tears, an l there are more of thesa i than any other kiud, because the most of I the race die iu infancy, aud that keeps pa ! . rents mourning all arouni the world. They ' never get over it. They may live to shout : and s:in afterward,! but there is always a r corridor in th" soul that is silent, though it ' once rasoun led. I ; My parents never mentioned the deat j of a j child who died fifty years before without a tremor in the voice and a sigh, oh. how deep i fetched! It was' better she fhould die. It was ; a mercy she should die. She would have been a lifelong invalid. But you cannot argue ; away a parent's grief. How often vou hear I the moan: "Oh, my child, my child!" Then -there are the filial tears. Little children soon ; got over the loss of parents. They ore easily ; diverted with a new toy. But where is tha man that has come to thirty or forty or fifty ; years of age who can think of the old peo ' pie without having all the fountains of his eouI stirred uj"?

Have you r)9ver heard an old man in ' de!ir:tm ot some sickness call for his mother? 1 The fact is we get so used to calling for her . the first ten years of our life we never get , over it, and when she goas away frotn us it . makes deep sorrow You sometimes, per haps, iu days f trouble and darkness, when the world would say, "You ought to be able ! to take care of yourselt'you wake up from your dreams finding yourself saying, "Ob, ! mother ! mother :" Have these tears no di- ' vine origin? Why, ta'te all the warm hearts i that ever beat in all lands, and in all ages, ' and put them together and their united taroo would bj waak compared with the throb of i God's eternal sympathy. Yes, God also is ! father of ail that rain of repentance. j Old you ever sea a rain of rareatauc3? Da ' you know what It is that makes a mau ra pent? I sae people going around trying to repent. They cannot repent. Do you know no man can repent until God helps him tc rspeat? How do I know? By this passage "dim hath God exalted to be a prince an l a Saviour to give repentance." Oh. it is a tre mendous hour when one wakes up and says: "I am a bad man. I have not sinned against the laws of the land, but I have wasted my life;" God asked me for my services and I haven't given those services. Oh, my sins; God forgive ma." When that tear starts it thrills all heaven. An angel cannot keep his eyes off it, and tbe church of God assembles around, and there is a commingling of teari, and God is the Father ot the rain, the Lor J, long suffering, merciful and gracious. In a religious assemblage a man arose and said: "I have ben a very wicked man; I broke my mother's heart. I became an infi de', but I have seen my evil way, and I have surrendered my heart to God, but it is a grief that I never can get over that my . parents should never have heard of my sal- - vation ; I don't know whether they are living or dead ." Wbda he was yet standing in the aulionc? a voice from the gallery said, "Oh. my son, my son !" xHe looked up and he rec ognized her. It was his old mother She had been praying for. him a great many years, and when at the foot of the cross the prodigal son aud the 'praying mother em braced each other, there was a rain, a tre men loui rain, of tears, and God wasthe Father of those tears. Oh, that God would breaK us down witn a sense ot our sin, and then lift us up with an appreciation of His mercy. Tears over our wasted life. Tears over "a greived spirit. Tears over an in jured father. Oj, that God would, move upon this audience with a great wave of re ligious emotion ! The king of Carthage was dethroned. His people rebelled against him. He was driven - into banishment. His wife and children were outrageously abused. Years went by, and the king of Carthage made many friends. He gatherei up a great army. He marched again toward Car thage. Reaching the gates of Carthage' the b?st men of the p ace came out bare foote I and bareheaded and with ropos around their .necks, crying for mercy. They sii I.. " V'e abuse 1 you and we abused your family, but we cry for mercy." The Ling oi-'C'artaage loo'iel down upon the - people from his chariot and said: "I came to bless, I didn't come to destroy. ; You orove me out, but this day I pronounce . pardon for all the people. Open the gates and let th9 ar.ny come in." The king marched in and took the throne, and the -people all shouted, "Ixmg live thekiag!" My friends, yort have driven the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of thi church, away from your heart; you have bsen maltreating Him all tscsa years; but H comes baclc to day.

Open wide the gate I will take the throne. ,My peace I give unto you." And then, all through this aadienc?, from the young and , from tbe old, there will be a raiu of tear, and God will be the father of that rair I A 111 11 nin; to Sata".

A graduate of the Pennsylvania rail. road school of manners was conductor on one of the limited trains between New York and Washington the other night. When he entered the first coach he found it crowded, and in onVof the seats upon the left was a young man perhaps it would be more correct to say a young person of thenasculine gen der. ,He was well dressed and reading j a French novel. Uon his. small and ordinary ci'iintenatice there sat thi haughty look of reserve of the imitation j gentleman. When the conductor celled for tickets, this young jierson- affected j to be so absorbed n his book as not tp ; hear him, so the conductor passed him! by, going clear through the train be- i fore he returned to disturb the haughty rcaifer. When the conductor came ; back the voting er$on ; still refused" to j jay any attention. . The conductor j waited a moment, nnd . then called out J rsther shnrj ly for his tiVket. Theyouth-; ful and now thoroughly contemptuous person, noticing that the man whom Jlio j called the guard of the train had ' ad- I dressed husi with , brusquencf s, whicht j he translated rudeness, took diis tiikcli j from his i ticket, and, without looking; ! at the-conductor, threw it. iiKn the Moor. The graduate of the Ponnsyl- vania school of manners was fully equal! j to this unusual situation. Iledisplayed j no temier, noexcitement, nor any lack of repose. With the calm gravity of a j man w hois'sure" of himself he stooped j tthe floor, punched the fallen ticket ; Hie requisite numberof times, and then: ; laid it on the lloor where it had been ; ltirown, find walked out amid the roars ' of laughter of the entire car. Where Women Rule. As a rule the Indian women of Boli-i via are superior to their lords in intelli-j genre and earn the larger share of their mutual supioi't. Being the'older of the; two, she is naturally the, head of the house, and is more likely to thrash her dutiful spouse than he is to misuse her.j In the markets where farm products are disposed of, she can drive a better bar gain than he; she can carry as heavy .burdens, endure as much manual labor, chew as much cocoa aud drink as much alcohol. . ' The Indians have little or no money, their mediumsof exchange being whnt ever they Viiiay raise, or the labor of their hauds.XThey'wiU eat whvn not hungry, dririkNvhen not thirity, s'ee when not. sleepy i anywhere and - any time when opportunity offers, "against the, time of need," as. they say. The majority are in a state of semi-intoxication frotn babyhood to the grave, alcohol being used on every pretext freely as their means will allow, on accasions of. births,deatlis and feast days the latter occurring nearly every day in the year.- They are social creatures and not at all inclined to live alone; hence their, houses are always in groups.and a com munity of them, though numbering not mere than a half dozen, is called an es tancia. In the interior of Bolivia, if an Indian desires to change his place of re-'idence he is not allowed to sottle n another. village t:n ilthe aut'.r ri is t .e.eof have, loooked into his i r.vati: h Story, when, if th? record is not satisfactory, he is trd.'red to move on. But that seldom happens; for they are like cats in their attach-; merit to places, and will cultivate the; same bit of poor land from generation! to generation, though barely able to ktep body and soul together. A J ke lliat Failed. An excellent story is told of Professor Rogers and Doctor It. YV; Dale. These two gentlemen were giving'a series of lectures, and fit every townjwhich they! visited,- Doctor Dale noticed that liisf collesigue, who always Ffioke first, niado the Fame speech. In fact, so often didj the picfessor give that speech that, the worthy doctor knew it off by heart, and I this fact led the latter to think of a way j of taking the wind out of his friend's saiU. .. , On their arrival at a certain town, ! Doctor Dale asked Doctor Kogers to allow him to speak first, an arrange ment lo wliich the latter readily agreed; so Doctor Dale rose and proceeded to j deliver the speech of Doctor Kogers, looking every now and then, with the corner of his eye to see how that worthy gentleman was taking this practical joke. Doctor Rogers sat calm and com Iosed, and when at length his turn came to speak, he just as. calmly rose and delivered, to Doctor Dale's utter astonishment, quite a nev speech,, At the conclusion of the meeting Dr. Dale said to his colleague: "I thought I had taken the wind out of your sails to-night." . s Doctor Rogers replied, "Oh, no! I delivered that speech when I was here a inonth ago." . v Very Sticky. A New York gentleman, recently back from a trip to the West, was telling some of his friends at the club about his adventure with a gang of highway men in Kansas. According to his own version of the affair, he played a very brave part so brave, indeed, that the robbers, well armed as they were were soon glad to get away in the darkness. He would have pursued them, but it was raining, and the mud was horrible. When asked why he did not get officers and follow the thieves the next day he replied that he did; that is to say; he tried to do so, but could not find .the trail. , - . "Why, how was that?" asked one of the listeners. I thought you said it was horribly muddy. The robbers muat have" left tracks enough to guide you." - "So it would seem," answered the hero of the story; "but you see, the mud out there is so sticky that the ras cals' tracks stuck fast to their feet, and they carried them away with them." A Letter on a rostrge-Stamp. When the Tostmaster in a little coun try office opened his mail bag one day a single uncancelled jiostage-stanip fell out. He looked among the letters to see if the stamp had come from one of them, but they were all right. Then he examined the stamp to see if the stamp was still on it. He found that Mrs. J. F. had exercised her ingenuity and strained her eyesight by writing a letter on the back of the stamp. On one edge was a small margin of white pper, such as is always found on .the full sheet of stamps, and on this was written the address.
