INTAIN OF SORROW.

Where shade* are thick and deep—
And ’tla there Ood'e holy angels

Art thon a child of God ?
For the feet of all God’s children

By Bis own Staff and rod.
It is called thi Mount of Sorrow
And on lUKbilly height,
God’s children, worn with many a cross,
Are toiling in the night;
But near there Btands another mount
Shining with heavenly light.
'Tis the holy Mount of Prayer,
And oft a holy ray
Is sent to the weary children,
To cheer them on their way ;
For there the light shines more and more
Unto the perfect day.
And between these mystic mountains
A valley calm and sweet,
In soft and blooming fragrance lies;
And Jesus’ blessed feet
Walk through this bright and holy vale
Bis stricken ones to meet.
’Tis the Vale of Besignation,
O hearts that ache with care,
Close to the dark Mount of Sorrow
Stands the bright Mount of Prayer ;
Lift up your eves, ye mourning ones,
God's holy Son is there I

SOUL-WINNING.
It is glorious work. No labor this
side of heaven is so full of rich com
pensations. They who have realised
how satisfying it is to toil for Jesus
will never be content with any lower
occupation.
But says one and another, “I can
not break through reserve, and talk
to my neighbor about spiritual
things.” This is the experience of
many. The instant that conversa
tion takes a turn toward direct reli
gious topics, bearing on the Hnyund
conduct of individuals present, lips
are sealed. „ Christian mothers can
not talk to their children. Fathers
yearn over their boys, that they may
decide to be for the Lord ; but they
cannot ask them a single question
about it. Friends talk to friends
about everything else. The world is
full of Christ-loving hearts ; but an
enchanter’s spell is over so many of
them that their love does not over
flow into speech. If you love Jesus,
and want others to love him too, see
that you are so sunny, so brave* so
full of joy and gladness, that he will
look for the motive that lies at the
root of your conduct. Do not let it
be said of you, even in misunder
standing and partial error, that you
are grim, forbidding, morose aud un
courteous. Oue can be selfish in
prayer and devotion as well as in les
ser things. To speak gay, bright,
inspiring words, to do kind acts in a
kind way, to let your life be, to all
who feel its force, what the river is
to the trees on its banks, and the
sparkling rill to the meadow it kisses
will be to take a long step onward in
the vocation of winning souls.—Tal
mage.
PROGRESS THROUGH STRUGGLE,
It is a good thing for a young man,
or for an old one, to have a great
deal to contend with. There is no
real progress in this life except
through struggle. Unless there were
a hammer to swing aDd an anvjl to
strike, the blacksmith would never
have the brawny arm which marks
his power. If there were no hills to
climb and no storms to face, the stur
dy mountaineer would show no such
superior vigor as makes him another
being from the ease-loving dweller in
the vine-embowered valley. It is not
the uniform and the parade which
bring out the courage, and develop
the highest manhood, of the enlisted
soldier; but it is the march, the pri
vation, and the battle, which trans
form him into the bronzed and enno
bled veteran. Hot the receiving of
riches by inheritance, but the secur
ing of them by unintermitted strug
glen, gives a capitalist the ability to
be a leader in the world of wealth.
It is rather the barriers to knowledge
than the helps to them, that give the
scholar his flual pre-emiuence in the
field of letters. And the man who
has made progress through strug
gle, who has bad a great deal to con
tend with, audJias contended suc
cessfully.-^. I. "
A WINSOME RELIGION.
This is the special charge of Christ’s
followers, to (hove among thejr fel
low men, and by sweet attractions of
godliness, “win” them to forsake the
shamefulness and vileuess of sip, and
ble
come to that pure and blessed 1
“All things that are lovely,”
the disciples of Jesus must pnt
we would effect such a result,
enough with any of us that ou
giou is firm, that it braves da
that it blenches not before oppoi
that it speaks sharp words to eivery
tempter, saying, “Get thee behind
me, Satau 7” It is not only true and
constant, but is it in us lovely toot
Is it sour, is it austere, is it grim and
frowning t It has no business to re;
it has no right to be. It will en' :in
die desire in no human bosom, ext ept
the desire to deter as long as poss
any fellowship with it.
Christianity, to be winning, should
show in us a pleasant face. It should
chase away all dark shadows frjxn
the coupenance. It should smooth
the frown from the brow. It shoqld
arch pleasantly the bow of the lipS.
It should look with gentleness out of
the eye. It should often wear a
hearty and cheerful smile. It should
mautle the whole face with a soft and
warm tinted light, so that every man
who looks on these harmonizing fea
tures should be made to ask, “What
sweet secret lurks below 1”
It ought to mellow and soften the
tones. They have no right to be
gruff and imperious. They must not
be self asserting and domineering.
The way in which some Christians
often speak, with downright cadences
imperative, peremptory, dictatorial,
as though there were a strenuous
hardship of self-will in them, overri
ding other men’s views, feelings, and
wishes, repels men from them, aDfl
makes some gentle spoken worldling
far more lovely by contrast. This is
not wise nor right. It is very unfor
tunate and-very wrong.
Our religiou ought to pervade oar
manners. It is the highest law of
pure and true- courtesy. It can not
he indifferent to any man’s feelings,
nor blind to his discomforts. It must
think of his accommodation before
our own. It must insist on his taking
precedence, “in honor preferring’*
him to ourselves. It must give Aim
the inside of the walk, the heat ol
the pew, half of the car, his rigJI to
his own judgment, respect for his
opinions, room for his peculiarities
and idiosyncrasies. When Christi
anity in any of its confessors forgets
to be polite, lays aside the apostolic
injunctions, “be courteous,” indulges
in little petty self preferments and
self securities, which worldly good
breeding abjures, it does not win
men ; it only invites them to dislike
and despise it; it denies its own na
ture; for if it be anything, it is love
in the heart and love in the life.
The Christian should be the kind
est of men ; so ready to serve another
so willing to wait himself, so open
hauded, accepting disturbance of his
plans and conveniences so graciously
so cheerful and ready in the small of
fices of ministering to his neighbor’s
comfort, that it should be a perpetu
al marvel to the lookers on how be
can carry about with him this unfail
ing spirit of practical and hearty ben
eficienee.
Do you say, “Of course a Christian
will be and do all this, if he be truly
what we call him t” Ah, it would
seem sometimes as though a man had
acquired something of the substance
of this transformed character, when
he is thoughtless about its expression.
Some minds confuse themselves in re
gard to character and manners, by
seperating and discriminating where
there is no roohi for such discrimina
tion. The expressions of character
are a part of it, the whole practical
part of it.
Genuine Christianity ought to shine
forth in all these forms of aweetness,
gentleness, consideration, sympathy,
aud kindness if it would charm men
to its beauty and loveliness, and de
tach them from the odious reign of
selfishness by winning them to itself.
—Rev. A. L. Rtone, D. D.
The peace which Christ gives to
his disciples is uot a peace which
comes of the disciple’s surroundings ;
it is the result of nearness to him who
is the center of the universe, aud who
is unmoved by surroundings. The
Christian’s peace is as great in times
of storm as in times of calm. When
the tempest of sorrow or of opposi
tion rages on every side, then he who
is one with Jesus realizes “the peace
of God which passeth all understand
iuK-\ ______
Martin Luther started Sabbath
schools in Germany in 1527, and Jhon
Knox in Scotland in 1560.
the time, “How little cafi I do of what
the law requires without reaching its
penalty!” come short of theif duty,
true men are those> who act from a
plenary inspiration, and who do right
to the utmost of their power, for the
sake of the right itselt, and to please
God. A man is not a' full man who
goes only as high as the laws of soci
ety require him to go. A full man is
one who, when he has done what so
ciety requires of him, puts as much
more as he can upon himself. A man
must be as just as society requires
him to be, aiul then as much more
just as he is capable of beiug. But
can a man be more than just? Yes.
Take another quality. A man
must be as benevolent as morality re
quires him to be; but he can be more
than that, a great deal.
uur Master, m one place, says,
“Let him that giveth give with sim
plicity,” and in another place he says,
‘‘Give not grudgingly, for God loveth
a cheerful giver.” So benevolence is
not only being willing to give, but it
is giving with gladness. Many per
sons give (heir gifts as one landlord
gives stale beer, not with a sparkle
or bubble on it, but flat. Other per
sons give their gifts as another land
ioid gives beer that foams, and every
particle of which is prevaded with
Used air. (Beer is good for illustra
tion, if it is not good far auythiug
elsej and in that sense I will use it.)
How do men give f It is often from
a sense of shame. It is the fear of
loss of repntatio^-frequently, that
impels the -j^ift. Charity is often
dragged out of a man. We shut a
man up as it were,- ia the house of his
excuses, we put a reuson here aud a
reason there, like so many constables
to keep him from running out at the
back door; aud when we have him
thus secured, we go in and push him,
and push him, till by and by he sur
renders, gasping, like a man over
come in a fight, aud says, “Well, well,
I give up.” Under such circumstan
ces men disgorge; and afterwards they
call it “charity.” They give grudg
ingly ; but the Lord loveth a cheerful
giver—a man who, when he gives,
makes the gift fragrant with his man
hood, so that it shall be a pleasure of
memory.
Yon have not fulfilled the law of
mercy when you have merely given
an external adhesion to it. You
must fulfill it with a willing heart,
which not only sends the blessing lor
the sake of the thing done, but sends
it also for the sake of pleasing your
self.
Why is it, do yon suppose, when an
artist sits down to the piano, and fin
gers the keys, that he shrinks every
time he strikes a certain string ! It
is because that string is out of tune.
Well, what of it ? It hurts him. If
you were to hit him on the head, it
would not hurt him any more than
the discord which is produced when
bo strikes that key hurts him. It
goes against the sense of music that
is in him. Now a man should be so
attuned to every moral element that
ft hurts him when there is a discord
between any one of them and the
others.
An Incident.—A little girl was on
the train, recently, where a fearful
collision took place, demolishing both
engines, and ruining several cars.—
Wonderful to relate, no lives were
lost, and no person seriously injured.
People were expressing their won
der that not even a bone Was broken,
when this child said, “Mamma, you
prayed this morning before we start
ed, that God would take care of ns,
and I knew He would. He has,hasn’t
He, mamma 1”
Tears came to the eyes of several
who listened, and one said, “Give me
the faith of a child, ‘for of such is the
kingdom of heaven.’ Zioa’s Herald.
---U
The Bible-Paety.—Let me urge
upon Christian households to hold so
cial Bible parties, as the world holds
social dancing-parties. Why should
not a score of young Chri^iau folks
gather in a parlor, and. each read and
explain a portion of Scripture, pre
pared for the occasion ! Why should
not ice cream taste as good jand mu
sic sound as goo|^, and greetings be as
agreeable after that as aftef a silly
gossip and a “dance” f
MANNERS AT THE TABLE.
With regard to the behaviour at
table, a contributor in the Evening \
Pont gives some excellent hints, of
which the following are the chief:
,r Xus impossible to estimate proper-1
,immense influence which is ex-1
pon a household by the at
re of the family table. A neat
:ered table is in itself a lesson
Children. To the inviting ta
re there should be always
ng attractive, however sim
7i ,/demeal may be, most children
Ivill come prepared to behave proper
ly. It really is worth while, and
when philosophically considered, is a
matter of great importance, to lay
aside, as far as possiblo, all thoughts
of the hard work done before and to
be done after a meal, aud to allow' no
vexations questions to be discussed
at this time. The habit of brooding
over our work and exhausting our
selves by going it all over in our
minds is one to be studiously avoided.
There is nothing which takes from
one’s energy more than this, and it is
a frequent cause of insanity. Every
body knows that food digests better
when eaten in agreeable company.
It was something more than a pleas
antry which made a friend remark
that he could not have his wife and
child pass the summer vacation away
from him, as it gave him dispepsia.
The poor child who comes to grief at
the table and is sent away from it
with his dinner half eaten, and who
suffers the whole afternoon with an
undigested lump of food in his stom
ach, is to be pitied.
It follows, then, that pleasant sur-1
prises in the way of preparing favor
ite dishes, that good taste and much
painstaking in arranging all the ap
pointments of the table and dining
room.rise above a mere ministering to
the animal existence, and affect the
fine issues of life. Good behavior
and cheerfulness ought to accompany
each meal as naturally and unvary
ing as bread aud butter. The happy
laughter which distributes nervous
force, and calls the blood from the
brain, allowing the stomach to get its
share, should be heard more frequent
ly at onr tables. No one should feel
at liberty to say one word which is
not at least kind and thoughtful, any
more than he would withhold a suffi
cient quantity of food.
SCOLDING.
Scolding is mostly a habit. There
is not mnch meaning in it. It is of
ten the result of nervousness, and
an irratable condition of both mind
and body. A person is tired aud an
noyed at some trivial cause, and
forthwith commences finding fault
with everything aud everybody in
reach.
Scolding is a habit very easily
formed. It is astonishing how soon
one who indulges in it at all becomes
addicted to it aud comfirmed in it. It
is an unreasoning aud unreasonable
habit. Persons who once get in the
way of scolding always find some
thing to scold about. If there were
nothing else, they would fall a scold
ing at the mere absence of anything
to scold at. It is an extremely disa
greeable habit. The constant rumb
ling of distant thunder, caterwauliug,
or a hand organ under one’s window,
would be less unpleasant.
The habit is contagious. Once in
troduced into a family it is pretty cer
tain in a short time to effect all the
members. If one of them begins
finding fault about something or no
thing, the others are apt very soon to
take it up, and a very unnecessary
bedlam is created.
Women contract the habit more by
frequent use than men. This may be
because they live more iu the house,
in a confiued and heated atmosphere
very trying to the nervoos system
and the health in general; aud it may
be partly that their nature are more
susceptible, and the sensitiveness
more easily wbuuded. Women are
sometimes called divine; but a scold
ing woman never seems divine.—Liv
ing Christian.
The American Bible revision com
mittee have completed the revision
of the English version of the New
Testament and transmitted the result
of their labors to England. The Brit
ish committee will meet in November
for final action, and the University
presses of Oxford and Cambridge are
expected to issue the revised New
Testament in February, 1831. The
Old Testameut will be published two
of three years later. The American
revisers have given their time and
labor for eight years without com

THIRTY REASONS
— *
Why the Early Conversion of Children '
Should Engage the Attention of
Every True Christian.
1. Because children are sinners,
and may be lost.
2. Because Jesus Christ died for
them, and they may be saved.
3. Because the simple plan of sal
vation through faith in Christ is the
same for children as for grown-up
people.
4. Because there is a special prom
ise for the young—“Tldfei that seek
me early shall liud me.”*
5. Because very many dear chil
dren have found the Saviour, aud are
now happy in his love.
C. Because the holy spirit is stri
ving in the hearts of many more.
7. Because it is constantly found
that there are little ones who want to
come to Jesus, and do not know the
way.
8. Because they are not safe until
they shall come.
9. Because the child’s h^art is ten
der, and not yet hardened by a long
course of sin.
10. Because-the child receives the
truth in more ample faith than the
adult.
11. Because it is easy for children
to love, and therefore they maybe1
taught to love Jesus.
12. Because it is easy for children
to trust, aud so they may be led to j
trust in Jesus.
13. Because those converted in1
early life make the most earnest and
consistent Christians.
14. Because those who spend their |
youthful days in learning in Christ's
school will become the wisest Chris- j
tians.
15. Because, having life before
them, they are likely to be the most
useful Christians.
16. Because we now have the chil-'
dren with us, aud it is easy to get |
them to listen to the story of the;
Cross.
17. Because when they grow up
to be young meu anil women it will
be very difficult to reach them.
18. Because thousands of children
leave our Sabbath .schools at thirteen
or fourteen, and leave them uncon
verted.
19. Because it is a startling fact!
that these old Suuday-scbolars form
nine-tenths of the criminals in our
jail and the unfortunates on the
streets.
20. Because we live in a fast age
when children rapidly learn the man
ners, and too often imitate the vices,
of grown-up people.
21. Because these children may
become the father and mothers of the
uext generation.
22. Because they may die while
they are still young.
23. Because the Lord may come,
and none of them ever grow up to he
men and women.
24. Because children may be so
readily gathered together in the
school room, the cottage, or the draw
ng-room ; in the open air, and the
seashore.
25. Because a little book or tract
jiveu to a child will always be accep
;ed and read, which is not always the
3ase with grown people.
26. Because a letter written to a
ffiild is sure to be treasured up and
read again and again.
27. Because a word cau be spoken
svith freedom to a child, and all of us
meet with children sometimes, and
have many opportunities of individ
ually pointing them to Jesus.
28. Because this work amongst
the young does not want special gifts
so innch as earnestness and love to
sonls.
29. Because it is a work that
brings us so near to Christ.
30. Because the lambs are so dear
to the heart of the Good Shepherd,
who said, “Suffer little children to
come ucto me, aud forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
—The Christian.
When the disciples were in one
place, and in one accord of desire,
Pentecost, came. It will always come
under those conditions. When we
are straitened, it is in ourselves, but
not in God. “Waiting on the Lord”
does not mean “waiting/or the Lord.”
He waits for the prayer arid longing
of the church. Tire open mouth will
be promptly filled. Longings that
expend themselves in‘‘’their own en
ergy will be fruitless. They must
cling to promises ii they would be ef
fective. That is faith. And without j
faith it is impossible for the church j
to please God, no matter what holy
desires fill them, or what energies en
gage them.—The Interior.

HOW TO MEASURE AN ACRE.
Land can be measured with satis
factory accuracy for many purposes,
by pacing. Five paces are equal to
one lineal rod. A man having long
legs will usually measure more tlnm
a rod at five paces^while short-legged
men will be obligefi to step unnatur
aliy ioug to measure a rod at live;
paces. The correct way is to measure
sixteen and a half feet on level ground,
then practice gauging the steps, until
oue can measure one rod at every five
steps. Then one hundred steps or
paces will be equal to twenty rods.
If a plot of land be two hundred paces
long and fifty paces wide, call every
five paces a rod, multiply the rods in
width, and divide the product by one :
hundred and sixty, the square rods in ■
one acre. Thus : one hundred paces, j
twenty rods, and fifty paces, ten rods
or ten by twenty, two hundred square j
rods, which, divided by one hundred
and sixty, one and one-fourth acres. |
A square acre is about two hundred:
and eight feet eight and one-half
inches one every side.
In order to lay out one acre of land j
twice as long as the width, the ieugth
must be four hundred and seventeen I
feet and five inches, and the width
oue hundred and four feet and four j
inches. Twenty feet front two thou-1
sand one hundred ard seventy-eight j
feet deep, one acre. Thirty feet front |
and one thousand lour hundred aud!
fifty-two feet deep, one acre. Forty
feet front and oue thousand and eigh
ty-nine feet deep, oue acre. In one
square acre there are forty-three thou
sand five hundred and sixty superfi
cial feet, six hundred aud forty acres
make oue square mile ; one hundred :
and sixty acres equai a quarter sec
tion. If a plow turn a furrow slice
one foot wide, a team must travei
about eight aud one-third miles to
plow one acre.—X. IT. Farmer.
SENSIBLE ADMONITIONS.
Don’t buy a piano for your daugh
ters, while your sons need a plow.
Don't let your horse be seen stand
ing much at the beer saloon; it don’t
look right.
'Don’t give the fberchmit or printer
a chance to dun you ; prompt pay
ment makes independent men.
Don't leave to memory what should
be written; it makes lawsuits.
Don’t become security for him who
waits for the sheriff.
Decent, substantial clothing for
your children, makes them think bet
ter of themselves, and keeps the doc
tor away.
Teach your boys to look up and
forward, never backward.
Cultivate the habit of giving, but
never give up.
Bay a farm wagon, before a tine
carriage.
LAMPASS.
When an animal does not take his
accustomed arnouut of feed, whether
it be a colt just getting- bis molar
teeth, or a very old horse whose mol
ars have become defective, the cruel
operation is two often performed of
burning theeularged palate with a
red-hot iron. If a eolt is off his feed,;
treat him as a baby ; lie is then get
ting new teeth, and should have aj
soft diet— mashes, ect.—but do not
allow the blacksmith to perform the
unnecessary, injurious, and cruel op
sration of burning the lam pass.
To Cube the Toothache.—We
find this in a magazine. It is easy
to try it, and if it is-what it claims to
be, anybody with an aching tooth
will thank us lor printing it: “The
worst toothache, or neuralgia coming
from the teeth, may be speedily en
ded by application of a small bit of
clean cotton saturated in a strongs
solution of ammonia to the defective
tooth. Sometimes the sufferer is
prompted to momentary nervous
laughter by rhe application; but the
paiu has disappeared.”
To Drive Flies ero'I Stables.
—Scatter chloride of lime on a board
in a stable to remove all kind ot flies,
but more especially biting flies.—
Sprinkling' beds of vegetables with
even a weak solution effectually pre
serves them from euterpiliers, slugs,
etc, A paste of oue part powdered
chloride of lime and one-halt part of
some fatty matter, placed in a narrow
baud round the trunk of a tree' pro
vents iusects from creeping up to it.
Even rats, mice, cockroaches, and
crickets flee from it.
SAUCE.—A little butter and sugar
| mixed to a cream ; a spoonful of corn
starch cooked in two cupfuls of boil
I ing water; flavor to taste,
TURKEY FATTENING.
A niqe plump turkey—most people
have a-Ctveakness that way, says an
epicure—is what ou many a farm the
young people of the household are
now looking forward to produce.—
Turkeys in a few weeks will not t>«
the least remunerativedepartment of
the (arm yard when properly cared
and fed. In the majority of eajes in
this country turkey-rearing hardly
pays for the large outlay in trouble
and other expense ; but they are un
doubtedly profitable to raise when
reared ou profitable principles, which
means plenty of food, care and exer
cise. There is a great difference ot
opinion in regard to fattening tur
keys, but experience has shown
breeders that the best way to get the
greatest number of pounds of flesh is
to fetal the birds al! they will eat,
lighifrom the time they hatch out
till tiiey are ready for market. While
they ake running at large is the time
to develop them. They undoubtedly
get much food in the fields—the scat
tered gtain, the “hoppers,” worms,
Sc.—but then thpt must be supple
mented byi daily or twice daily feeds
Df grain at the barn. Turkeys cannot
bear confinement, especially when in
-mall flocks or singly, and should
never be confined more than a week
jr ten days before killing. An ordi
nary rail pen is one of the best for
the purpose, foj they like to been the
ground. At th'S time feed principal
ly on cook'ed or Poft food, and plenty
of milk if you hate it to spare, giving
occasionally hard’whole grain, to keep
the flesh solid and firm.
CURING BEEF.
I notice that one or two recipes for
curing beef have been given in the
Country tientkman late tv, in answer
to inquiries. One of these gives 16
lbs. salt as the proper quantity for 100
lbs. beef. This is too much; more
than is required in packing beef for
tlie Navy. I herewith give two,
which have once or twice been pub
lished in the Cultivator :
To every 100 lbs. bepf take 8 lbs.
salt, 2 07. saltpetre, 2J lbs, brown su
gar (or 1 quart molasses,) 2 oz salera
tus, and a hall'oz of cayenne pepper.
Pack the beef as closely as possible,
using a portion of the salt between
the layers. Boil and skim the rest in
water enough to cover the beef. Af
ter it is cold pour it over the beef,
putting on a stone to beep the beef
under the brine. Beef thus cured
will keep until used.
Another.—Salt the beef down using
2 or 3 lbs. salt to the hundred lbs.
beef. Let it lie about a week. It
will usually by that time be covered
with bloody brine. Take up the beef,
rinse it in cold water, also washing
lut the barrel. Then repack, using
the recipe first given, except that 7
lbs. salt and 1 oz saltpetre will be
enough. Beef cured in this way will
keep in a hot climate. At the South,
more pepper is usually put in than
the amount given above; some using
cayenne and 2 oz black pepper to the
100 lbs beef.
Country Captain.—Cut up a
chicken into small pieces, melt some
butter in a saucepan, and put into it
an onion shred very fine, fry until
quite crisp, sprinkle the fowl well
with berry powder, add some salt,
and fry until thoroughly cooked,
turning the pieces frequently. Serve
hot, with the fried onions on the top.
Proceed as above, using veal instead
of chicken; when the pieces of veal
are partially fried, put them into a
stewpan with one pint of stock, sim
