When the Pro lessor came to look around, 1 he first-thing lie taw was a very brightly Hlished cannon not a Vrge oue and near by a number of curious looking cone-shaped leaden balls. There was also a box with a number of pegs iu it and a long rope coi letlcai eful ly about the pegs. V hen it storms out at sea and ships die driven in shore, and become wrecked aud helpless, it often happens that the water is too rough to let a boat live in it. Ifthe big life-boat which stands iu the middle of the house should be rolled down to the beach and launch ed, the waves would break it iu pieces in a minute. o the only way tor the captain aud his surluien to reach the vessel is by a rope. Now you know a man couldn't swim iu such a heavy r sea to carry the rope, and nobody has strength enougli4o throw a' rope 1,20 feet. -which is often the distance bv wnicti the ship is separated from the horc. 6o the captain or oue of hi men takes the rope that is coiled so loosely about the pegs that it will run off without a hirclij aud ties oue eni of it to the ring iu the end of oue of these lead balls. Then he takes the brass cannon and sets it on the beach, pointing it so that it will carry a ball just over the vessel, aud loads it with powder audHhis ball having the line tied to the end. Then he nits the gun. Bang goes the gun ; out uroes i lie nail ; away goes the line, uncoil- in,; 1 1 sell so last troiii llie pegs thai you can scarcely see it move. In a second it slackens aud stops, ami then the captain ki ows it has fallen on the deck o the vessel. Pretty .soon, it begins to move again slowly tliis time and now the captain knows the people on the ship are pulling it. h he lies two ropes to hi.-, end of the li:c oue a little larger than the line itself, aud the other a great, stout ca b e and attaches to these a piece of wood with painted directions on it, telling the' people on tne ship just what to do. In a few minutes these ropes have been pulled on board, ami the big one looking like the cable of a suspension bridge,, has been made tight at' both end. On this cable is then hung a sort of covered boat, call ed a "life-car, large enough to hold four peupMe, aud the small rope being tied to one end of it, the people on the ship begin to pull. Very shortly it has been pulled along the cable un til it reaches the ship. Then it is filled with people and the surfmen on shore pull it back again. Aud so it is pulled-hack and forth, from shore to ship and from ship to shore, until everybody is landed, and the old ship is left to go to pieces. Professor's Chair, in Christian Union. Hoot Crop.

The account of it sounds more like waggery than fact, but the New York Times tells it "bond fidely" of an ingenious French physician who was called in to prescribe for a lady suffering from tetanus. Her family doctor had tried every known remedy without effect. Tl ie patient was lying on her back with her mouth tightly closed and and throat rigid, litter a sound. went out and prob and attached a its tail. Placing the mouse at the foot of the bed, he allowed it to creep over the patient the entire length of her bmly. i She soon .felt the creature, and no ticing what it was, sprang up and screamed, "Take it off! take it off!' and scolded the doetor very. .glibly fVir a horrid, heartless wretch !" The doctor laughed, and so did his attendants, for all saw that the mouse had completely broken the lady's lov kjaw. Oue nervous shock had been ured by another. She had no return of the tetanus symptoms, and the doctor was so well convinced of the value of his four legged homeopathy lhat he went on trying it for other nervous diseases, aud it is said that he has made the "mouse cure" a success every time. Christian at Work Patriotism) Kun3Iad. Iu the Philadelplua Presbyterian of the 13th inst., is published a Thanksgiving Sermon by Kev. Chas. Wadsworth, D. D., in which occurs the following unseemly gloiiiicatiou of the United States fljig: "O brave banner ! Even the wine men of the East have seen thy star thy stars shining out of thy lirmanent, and have brought forth kingly treasures gold, and frankincense, and myrrh." Now we have not a word to say against celebrating the honor of ami glory of our national ting. Its fame is not hid iu a corner; ready homage and welcome meet its proud folds in every clime, and mil lions are ready to defend its purity with fortune aud with bIMd. But we would not have expected so good a man as Dr. Wadsworth to decern! to such reprehensi ble, sensational, extravaganza, as to run a parallel between the American flag, no matter what its worth, and our adora ble Redeemer, in the homage paid to each. We have no sympathy with any such unwarranted language anywhere; and none, especially, when used in the church of the living God, where the Gospel of grace is to be proclaimed to lost siuners. Far distant be the day when any such comparisons shall be heard from pulpits anywhere in this broad laud ! N. C. Pres byierian. Maxt Little Fakms. Many little farms well tilled, with many industrious sober farmers to till them, constitute the the highest degree of agricultural pros perity. The greater number of persous who own land in auv community, the ... more interest will they take in its im provement. People who rent land as a rule care nothing lor the soil they work further than what it uill yield them; but who mvus it wants to see its fertil- irv und nrndnctive capacity kept up, not I alone for his own but for his children' benefit, who w ill inherit it after him. A Base the for Compost . IlEAr. There is no better base for compost than leaf-mould of the forest. All the dead animals of the farm, the refuse briue and Vegetables, the leached ashes, the woollen rags, the feathers of slaughtered hens, and hair of thecal ughtered hogs, should be huruplously added to the compost heap. If, on entering the village grocery you smell old brine or put id fish, offer the merchant to take the nuisarr?! off his hands' They will make a valtnfnle addi tion to to the compost. If there is a woolen or paper mill, or a tannery in the Vicinity, the establishments will furnish much refuse for composting. When is the best time to castrate male pigs! A. The best time to castrate. the male pigs is from four to six we.ks of age; or, at least before weaning lime. They sel dom suffer any perceptible check in their growth when the operation is performed at this time, aud they witflejnore easily uiauaged thau if permitted to ruir entire. The sexual desire is developed very early in the male pig ; and when a lot of young boars are ieriuitted to run together, their fiettimr not frequeutlv seriously retard towHi. Besides, the danger from cas- tmtion increases with thenge of the pig after he i six weeks old. 1-1 NEWS ITEMS. ; The Progress of a Year. Boii the United State Standi at tU Af Baltimore Sun. 1 j During the civil war we spent fourthouv and millions of dollars, and Europe hastilv concluded that we had reached the culmi nating point ia our destinies. But the Uni ted States are at peace tc-day, and have con verted all their swords into plowshares and prunlng-hooks. while Europe groans under an annual burden of $1,000,000,000 spent in tne maintenance of armies and navies. Since I860, hhe peace of Europe" has cost $27,- 000,000,000 in money to maintain it, while from 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 men are annual ly withdrawn from productive industries in order to he trained in the arts of destruc- ton4-If these men could earn by the labor of their hands an average of $300 a vear, as able-bodied men do ia this country, the los ses to Europe by its proditrious armaments mce 1860 will have exceeded thirty billions of money, equal to the entire valuation of the United States, according to the census of 1870. These figures afford a clew to the sufferings and distresses of Europe as soon as an unprosperous year vUits that conti nent;, and to the anxiety with which crops and seasons are watched there. The United States have no need to feel these anxieties. Their territory is too broad, their climate too various, their soil too responsive to the touch of husbandry. Seven years of Egyp tian famine would not destroy us, while one year of short crop in Europe makes every country there our debtor for provisions. During the year just closed every section of the land has profited by these extraordinary and imperative demands. The South, with but 20 per ceut. of the Mpulation, has furn ished 22 per cent, of the moat enormous bulk of exportation ever sent forth from our shores. The farmers all the land through have made money and are rapidly paying their debts. All sorts of manufacturing in dustries are returning to full work with ad vancing wages. Mining has been pushed to a greater extent than ever, and has uniform ly prospered throughout the year. It is es timated that the dividends on the stocks of companies have during the year afforded a very large addition for re-investment as part of the permanent capital of the country. The Cotton crop has yielded Urely in ex cess of previous years. The business of the banks has increased more than 50 per cent over last year, and the exchanges are now nearly as large as in 1872, without making any deductions for the differences bet ween the two years in values and the purchasing power of money. All these are substantial evidences of the progress made by the coun try during the year 1879. Industry and tiale have acquired such a momentum and rest upon such a firm basis that we may reasonably expect a continued progress and development during the present year. Do not substantial blessings of this sort call for a proper recognition on the part of the peo piet Do they not make it the public duty to secure the moral and political fruitions of these great material resources upon such a basis that we may be sure that our children will enjoy them ? May we not increase our wealth and cement our powers by cultivat ing the same breadth in public and political charity that we cultivate in acres of crops? Our wealth is worth little to us if we are in continual danger of spending it in cutting oneanotber'shroats, or in 6trife and bick erings which keep us ever on thefringe of civil war. New YearVDay, which occurs to-morrow, is a good one on which to "turn over a new leaf." Let us do this not only in our private charities of thought and purse, but our public ones also, and see how much we can add to our material resources and to the! country's wealth by leaming how to love our neighlwjrs as ourselves. Peace on earth and good-will towards men means that, quite as much as it means the disband ing of great standing armies and the return of the soldier to the plow-handle. Third Term Indications.

JS. President Hayes is hostile to the third term, and favors Sherman. .4. The selection ofDon Comcron as chair min of the.national committee ought not to bei regarded as a Grant success, lecause it was brought about only by a coalition the Grant and Sherman forces in order to snub Blaine. ;5. Grant is regarded as a weak candidate bjr many infinential Republicans, and they will not consent to his nomination. j 6. The galleries of the convention will be kept froe from the "packing" contemplated by the third termers. j 7.

There is a notice able weakening among the Repubtican leaders regarding the use of force to'l seat the alleged elected Republican m embers 1 of . the Legislature in Maine next week; ! The violent talk of a few days ago iVar longer to be heard, except among a- few exfreme men, who would be glad to sec the-tinntry in a state of turmoil and excitement all the time. One oftho most prominent Republi can Senators now in the city expresses! th opinion that the Garcelon Legislature) wilt assemble without molestation on the 6th of January, and that the Republicans will then demand that immediate steps be taken tr correct the alleged w rones before an elec tion is had for Governor. The Republicans seem to have discovered that Gov. Garcelon cannot be frightened from the line ofhit con stitutional .duty, and they will now abandon their threats to resort totorce unless, their demands are complied with. It is under stood that such Republicans as Senators Anthony, Burnside and Edmunds bavr ad vised the Maine Republicans not to Vske any steps which might look like appealing to force, but to submit under protest 'to their alleged wrongs, and-endeavor to make the Legislature, by legal manner, carry out the spirit of the law'under which Gov. Gar celon hasMeen acting. .ij.i.
