THE CHRISTIAN SUN. IN ESSENTIALS, UNITS’; IN NON-ESSENTIALS, LIBERTY; IN ALL THINGS, CHARITY. Volume XXXIV. SUFFOLK, VA„ FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1881. Number 21. SPEAK NO ILL Nay, speak no ill—a kindly word Can never leave a sting behind, And oh! to breathe each tale we’ve heard, Is far beneath a noble mind. Full oft a better seei is sown By choosing thus the kinder plan ; For if bnt little good be known, Still let us Bpeak the Cost we can. Give us the heart that fain would bide— Would fain another’s faults efface; How can it please e'en human pride To prove humanity but base? No! let us each a higher mood, A nobler sentiment of man ; Be earnest in the search of good, And speak of all the best we can. Then speak no ill, but lenient be To other’s failings as yoar own ; If you’re the first the fault to see, Be not the first to make it kuown. For life is but a passing day, No lip may tell how brief its span ; Tfren oh 1 the little time we stay, Let's *U tho best we can. j^eUdion^ ERGOPHOBIA. While on a visit to a friend, we talked about the church of which he is a member, and I asked him how it was getting on. “Poorly,” ho said, aud nothing that we have tried has done any good. We have changed our pastor two or three times, have mended the broken glass, painted the outside, cleaned up in front, put down a plank walk from the road to the door, and have waited long aud pa tiently for a blessing, bnt it does not Co»ne. Onr membership is dwindling and the church seems to be dying out. We do not doubt that God will do his own work in bis own way and in his own time; but it would cheer our hearts if we could see things bfighteu up a little. Can you sug gest anything that we can do* cou" siStentlv with our belief that the work is all of God.” “It seems to "«>” I replied, “that you do not wish to do anything but wait. But let me ask, do you talk to one another about the love of Jesus ! Are you fervent in prayer f Do give liberally to missions f Do you affectionately look after strayiug members! Do you plead with men to give their hearts to Christ! £>o yon build np a strong and active Sun day-school! Do you speak ' kind words to your pastor aud see that he has no apxiety about his salary ! Do you keep out of temptation aud shield your young people from it! Do you long for the presence of Christ among you ! Are you careful not to grieve ithe Spirit! Do you strive daily to {grow in grace and in the likeness of Christ! Do you cultivate a holy Christian temper aud avoid saying or doing anything that will offend one another! Does your life show to the world that, without talking or argu ing about it, there is a power in the religioa of Jesus!” “I can’t say that we do all those things” he replied. “Do you do the moat of them !” Ml am not sure that we do.” “Do you do any of them!’ •<I don’t know that yon ought to be so pointed in your questions, uor that I am bound to answer them.” “You are not bouud to auswer them. But God often puts such questions to the consciences of bis people ; aud Chris ‘Viauy, in a Christian spirit, may some Aimes ask them of one another.” “It may be so,” he said, “but we will drop -jat now. Three of our old sisters mlk iu the same way, and tell us we Arill never see better days till we do more for the Lord than we are doing \now. But we consider them weak minded and not strong in the faith. l’ V|"r«4V»n’t make them understand that. the w "',*t *8 a” of God» and tliat» aa tMoses\a^ "^ ‘stand still and ;see the salva.,io“ tUe Lord; aud as the Psalmist sa/d.1"•» “ the Lord aud wait greatly for him;’ ,and as the prophet s.^r though it tarry, wait for it, because .,b W1 ^ comeand as the apostle1 sa,d» 11 ire hope for that which we see n then.do we with patience wait for it. But if you can suggest anything scriptural that will help us, we will be grateful to you.’’ “I don’t know that I cun suggest anything,” 1 said. “From all that you have told sue and from what 1 have observed, it seems tome that many are sickly among you,and I fear that most of you hare the ergophobia. Unchurch can thrive while the church members have this disease. It has hurt some of the best of men. La ther had an attack of it and it par tially blinded him, so that whenever he read the epistle of James,it seemed to him ‘strawy or chaffy, and not a part of the word of God. Bot his constitution was so vigorous, and ho was such an unceasiug and true work er, that it did him no serious harm. But.any church afflicted with it will btydinost sure to ruu down, and be come like a farm in my neighbor hood, whose owner has a disease of llie samo nature. It was once the best in our section, but now it is‘all grown over with thorns and nettles, and the stone wall is broken down yet the owner, with these evidences of blight and decay around him, is ‘wiser iu his own conceit than seveu men that cau render a reason.’ It is so wherever ergopbobia prevails.” “I don’t know what the disease is that you speak of,” he said: “hut if you tbiuk we have it, perhaps you can cure us.” “I am no doctor,” I replied, “but having had the disease myself I know something about it. I have some good recipes at home, which I will scud you. it may go hard with you at first to take them, but if you persevere I am sure they will do you good; and by the time your members are ail well, I have not the least doubt that the set time to favor Zion will come.” On my return home, I sent my friend the recipes I promised. Some of them were these : “I know thy works that thou hast a Dame that thou livest and art dead. Be watchful, therefore, and strength en the things which remain and are ready to die. Item ember wheuce thou art fallen and repeut and do the first works. This is a faithful saying and these things I will that thou af firm constantly,that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be uot high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches; but that they do good and be rich in good works. Let the women adorn them selves in modest apparel, not with broidered hair or gold, or pearls, or costly array, but, which becometh women professing godliness, with good works. Be thoroughly fur nished unto all good works. Show out of a good conversation your works with meekness of wisdom, and let g)| your works be works of faith and labors'of love. God will not forget your work aud labor of love, Be strong in faith; but faith without wor**is dead “Have pH‘ient continuance iu well doing, aud be nob wearJr iu. for .»» due season you shall rea,? ** J’ou uot. Be therefore steadfast, J"1**0'1'" able, always abounding in the work of the Lord, aud your labor will not be in vuiu iu the Lord.” It was some f,ime before I heard from my frieud. When he wrote he said that very few at first were will ing to nse the remedies I recommend ed; but that, as the church continued to dwiudle, they said something must be done and concluded them a trial.— Soon their sight became clearer,their tongues cleaner, their breath purer, their feet firmer,their hands steadier, their judgments truer, their hearts lighter, their voices more cheerful, jpud their spirits more buoyant. Peo ple who had shunned became friend ly, strangers came among them,many were baptized, the dying church was alive again. Dissensions were healed, men who bad scarcely spoken to one another for years shook hands cordi ally,all talk agaiust the pastor ceased; his strength,which thestuteof things was crushiug out, returned with new vigor; noue commended themselves, but all spoke well of others. Those who had voices to siug, sung aloud, aud those who had no voices sung in their hearts: “Praise ye the Lord.— His name alone is excellent. Let the saints be joyful. Young men and maideus, old men and children, let them praise the name of the Lord.” The three old sisters said nothing, bat their eyes were filled with tears. —John Bush, in KeUgioua Herald. When happy seasous end, and leave us sad, it is soothing to reflect that sadness will have an end also; that, as the sunshine has given place to the shadow, the shadow will be succeeded by the sunshine again.— UJ->v is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the uPri*btin heart.” To be in tin? world> *ud “ot of u> « the great law of our existence, if your situation in life is 8UCb tb8ti ^ou cannot perform its datie'8 without committing sin against God, ,‘ben it is time you were out of it. But then yon insist take care uot to couiou great difficulties with absolute irnpos sibilities. Good temper, like a sunny day, sheds a brightness over everything. It is the sweetener of toil and the soother of disquietude. I A MINISTER BEATING HIS WIFE. AN OLD BUT TRUE STOfiY. The story was all over town. Every body was talking about it.. It was two bad they, said. What was two bad f Why, the new minister had been beating Ids wile I Was it pos sible I Yes theie could be no doubt about it. Mrs. S., who lives next door, heard a shriek about ten o’clock last, uigbt—a woman’s shriek—from a chamber in the parsonage. She looked across, and through the cur tain could see that a man and woman were running about the room in great excitemeut. He was nourish ing a stick and striking with it. The blows could be plainly heard. ADd as be struck she screamed. Mrs. S. could hardly sleep that night, she was so excited by what she bad seen. She was up early next morning. She harried through her breakfast and then hurried out—to see the poor abused minister’s wile and comfort her T not a bit of it. She went to Elder A.’s, found the family at the table, and told the news. Theu she footed on to Elder B's and Dea con C’s, and over half the town. The other half that she had no time to call on heard it from the other half, and before nooa there was great ex citement in Buiiville. The officers of the church discuss ed the matter with heavy hearts. Such disgraceful conduct coaid not be endured. Something mast be doue. Bat what f Call at once on the minister and his wife aud inquire into the matter ! Oh, no; that would not be dignified and official. Besides, there was no doabt about it. Did not Mrs. S. see the beating with her own eyes f So they called a meeting of the sessiou, and summon ed the minister and his wife. He had to answer a charge of numiusterial conduct, ant) she to testify in the case i They came, greatly puzzled and surprised. The case was gravely stated by the senior elder, when the culprit and witness burst into a laugh. Checking themselves, wbeu they saw how serious and sad the session looked, they explained. The minister’s wife, though au ex cellent woman who loved everybody, aud especially hep jinsbanfi, flid not lovp rats. But the bouse having been vacant for some time, the rats bad taken possession. When they went to their chamber, a huge rat ran un der the bed. The wife screamed.— The husband caught up a stick and missed the ret, the lady screamed <Mtaln, How could she help it! It was an scene, and must have looked very fuCv t0 ,,ej«bbo,s who were watching thrc.n*b cn*' tained window. They laughed he—".' ily when it was all over, aud the rat was dead; they could not help laugh ing whenever they thought about it. The session was in a fix. They were down on Mrs. S. for making fools of them. They asked her, “Why didn’t you go over to the ministers and make sure about the matter be fore you reported it t” And she re torted, “Why didn’t you go and in quire into it before you called a meet ing t’’—The Occident "THE CURSED LIQUOR STORES!” When the poor heart-broken wife of the murdered Anton, who had been stabbed to the heart by the druukeu brute Murphy, a few days before, heard the news of her hus band’s death, she exclaimed, “Ob! the liquor stores, the cursed liquor stores I” If we only reflect on the feelings of the wretched woman as she contem plated her butchered husband, brought to a bloody grave by rum. | we should shrink back in horror from the evils and misfortuues produced by liquor. Bum is the most power ful ageut the devil has on earth, and to it may be traced mostly all the crimes, murders, and debaucheries which disgrace society, and convert this beautiful world of ours into a veritable bell. Like the devil him self, it is the father of all evils, and more souls have been lost through its agency than from all other causes combined. We ask, is it not rum that has filled our prisons with crim inals, our poor-houses with paupers, our streets with fallen worneu, and onr asylums with lunatics ! As soon ns rum enters a household the devil goes with it, and there is neither peace, happiness, nor prosperity in that family again. Its iumates be come wreached, vile drunkards, going about in "rags, huuger, and naked ness, until they wind up in the prison or the poor-house, while the rum-sell er who supplies them with the fatal poison, keeps his fast horses, and most likely his-we won’t tyrite the word. What a fearful responsibility rests upon those who sell whiskey, for is it not written,“Woe be to him by whom scandal coinethf” The Lord God has emphatically declared that neither the drunkard nor the fornicator shali enter into the kingdom of heaven. How this terrible sentence should make drunkards tremble. Are they willin'; to burn in the flames of hell iii order to gratify a beastly passion for a few years on earth 1 if so, let them drink and be merry ; if not, let them dash from their lips tho wretch ed cup so brimful ot tears, crime, and perdition, ltemember the cry of poor Mrs. Acton: “Ob, the liquor stores, the cursed liquor stores!”— New York Tablet. NOAH’S CARPENTERS. ‘Henry,” asked the elder of the younger brother, “do you know what became of Noah’s carpenters t” “Noah’s carpenters!” exclaimed Henry, “I didn’t kuow that Noah had any carpenters.” “Certainly there must have been mauy ship carpenters at woik a long time to have constructed such a ves sel. What became of them, think you, wheu all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened !” Though Noah’s carpenters were all drowned, there are a great mauy of the same stock now alive—those who contribute to promote the spiritual good of others, and aid in the up building of the Redeemer’s kingdom, but personally neglect the great sal vation . Sunday school children, who gath er in the poor, or contribute their money to send tracts and books to the destitute, or to aid in the work of missions, and remain unconverted, are like Noah’s carpenters. Tcachere, who point their pupils to the Lamb of God, but do not lead the way, are like Noah’s carpenters, who built an ark, aud were overwhelmed iu the waters that bore it uloft in safety. Careless parents, who instruct their children and servants, as every par ent should, in the great doctrines of the Gospel, yet fail to illustrate these doctrines in their lives, and seek not a personal interest in the blood ol Christ, gre Nosh's carpenters and must expect their doom. Wealthy and liberal but nncouvert ed men, who help to build churches and susteit! the institutions of the Gospel, but who ‘fwill not come unto Christ, that they may have life,” are hewiug the timbers and driving the nails of the ark which they are too proud or two careless to enter. MoralisU, who attend church aud support the ministry, but who do not receive .’.“to their hearts the Gospel they thus sustain, ftrd like Noah’s carpenters. THE PUREJN HEART. _ X gentleman, in one of his visits among the poor, met with one of his scholars, a little girl not eight years old, who had just began to read the New Testament, This child being fond of Binging, was ansious to pos sess one of the school hymn-books, whioh the gentleman kindly promised to give her on condition that she would learn to read the fifth and sixth chapters of St. Matthew’s gos pel within the space ef a fortnight. The little girl immediately undertook this task, and having brought her two chapters to the gentleman, began to read; but when she finished the first twelve verses, he caused her to stop in order to inquire of her which of the qualities described in the beat itudes she would desire most to pos sess. She paused a little while, and then replied, with a modest smile, “11 would rather be pure in heart.” The gentleman asked her why she would choose this blessed quality above all the rest. Ju reply to his question, she answered: “Sir, if 1 had a;pure heart, I wonld have all the other qualities spoken of in this chapter.” A dull boy was once sharply re proved by the great and good teacher, Dr. Arnold, l'he boy looked at him, and said; “Indeed, sir, I am doiug my best !" Dr. Arnold used to tell of it years after, and he said he was never so ashamed in his life. No one cau do more than his best, and we ought to have great patience with slow people, for we do not know how great a struggle they may be making. I fear God, aud besides Him, I fear only the mau who does not fear Him. —Oriental Froverb. ---* Many a man courts fortune, and i marries the woman to get it. SAYINGS FROM THE TALMUD. “Who is strong 1 He who subdues his passions. Who is rich ? He who is satisfied with his lot.” “He who sacrifices a whole offering shall be rewarded for a whole offering; he who offers a burnt-offering shall have the reward of a burnt-offering; but he who offers humility to God and man shall be rewarded with' a town: d as if he had off-red all the sacrifices in the world.” “There are four char acter.-; in scholars: Quick to bear and quick to forget, his gain is cancelled by his loss; slow to hear and slow to forget, his loss is cancelled by his gain ; quick to hear and slow to for get is wise ; slow to hear aud quick to foiget, this is an evil lot.” There are four characters in those who sit un der the wise: a spouge, a funnel, a strainer, and a bolt-sieve. A sponge, which sucks up all; a fuuuel, which lets iu here and lets out there; a strainer, which lets out the wine and keeps back the dregs; a bolt-sieve, which lets out the pollard and keeps back the flour.” “lie who has more learning than good works is like a tree with many branches bnt few roots, which the first wind throws on its face ; while he whose works are greater than his knowledge is like a tree with many roots and few branch es, but which all the winds of heaven cannot uproot.” “If thy wife is small, bend down to her and whisper in her ear. He who forsakes the love of bis youth, God’s altar weeps for him. He who sees his wife die before him, has, as it were, beeD present at the destruction of the sanctuary itself— around bim the world grows dark.” “He who marries for money, his chil dren shall be a curse to him.” “Rabbi Jose said, I never call my wife ‘wife,’ but ‘home,’for she indeed makes my home.” “Underneath the wings of the seraphim are stretched the arms of the divine mercy, ever ready to receive sinners.”—University Maga zine. THE HIGH GATE. Not long ago, while travelling in New England, we uoticed a strong, high gate standing alone by the way side. There was no wall nor fence near it, but still, well bolted and bar red, it stood up strong and straight, as though it was doing guard duty. There was no need now to draw out the rusty bolts to admit the passer by, it was just as convenient to go around as to pass through it. . This reminded us of the ecclesiasti cal gate which has Ween so long clos ed agaiust women. It stands bolted and barred; but the ecclesiastical fence is nearly all down, and at the command of the Master. Christian women may march into life’s great harvest-fields to work, without dis turbing the gate, or the gate disturb ing them. With au open vineyard befofethem, Christian women are inarchiug out for Christian effort as never before.— The Christian Yfoiftan. MANTS AGE. Few men die of age. Almost all die qf disappointment, passion, men, tal or bodily toil, or accidents. The passions kill men sometimes, even suddenly. The common expression “choked with passion,” has little ex aggeration iu it,, for even though not suddenly fatal, strong passions short? en life. Strong-bodied men often din young | weak men live longer than the strong, for the strong use their strength and the weak have none to use. The latter take care of them, selves, the former do not. As it is with the body, so it is with the mind and temper. The strong are apt to break, or, like the candle, to run, the weak to born out. The inferior ani mats, which live temperate lives,have generally their prescribedguumber of years. The horse lives twenty-five; the ox fifteen or twenty; the Hon about twenty; the dog ten or twelve} the rabbit eight f the guinea pig six or seven. These numbers all bear a similar proportion to the time the animal takes to grow to its full size. But man, of the animals, is one that seldom lives his average. He ought to live a hundred years, according to the physical law,for five times twenty are one hundred; but instead of that, he scarcely reaches ou an average four times his growing period ; the cat six times; the rabbit even eight limes the standard of measurement. The reason is oovious—man is not ouly the most irregular and intemper ate, but the most laborious and hard worked of all the animals, lie is also the most irritable of all the animals ; and there is no reasou to believe, though we canuot tell what an animal secretly feels, that, more tliau any other animal, man cherishes wrath to keep it wuitn, and consumes himself with the tires of his own secret reiieo tiou. MiLK AND MILKING. It i.' a cnniiron pract:“ ■ to i.;ivo t: animal a feed licfoi-c •; >r • milk, sc as to 1,v-, t. I ennf'oaic;}. But i.s s!•; : : Should n<-t tlii.; imjv-j: -sr >= ,; lias so unl' ii c;v-!toI, r; rt: vo divided attention' o-f t > animal a well as the miiker? ‘Ac think it should, and that feeding at this tint" : is a bad practice. It is a matter of habit, anyhow, aud the cow may as well be taught to attend solely to the milking as to eat. Of course she must be quiet and contented; but this should result from general treat ment, and not from a coaxing feed. Here is a bag full of milk which we propose to draw. The cow is healthy the milk must be a perfectly natural product, aud we must keep it so.— Partly right—but not so fast! Is it certain that the milk is all right now! By no means; the milk may beaffect ed while still in the udder. If the food has been bad, the milk has suf fered in quality; if the cow has had impure water Co drink, it has beyond doubt directly injured the milk; if she has suffered from thirst, the milk will be less in quantity and in fats; if she has breathed foul air, whether in stable, yard, or pasture, it has affect ed the milk,—perhaps made it unfit for use. JDo not forget this : carrion in the pasture, offensive fish manure in an adjoining field, «r any sicken ing odor, even if from a distance,may have a very injurious effect. So may emanations from a manure oellar, without the proper precautions of tight floors aud ventiiatiou. Pure air is as necessary to the making of good milk as pure water and pure food. If there has been insufficient shade in the pasture, and the animal has suffered from extreme heat, the milk will show it in a direct loss of the fat and sngar elements and an iucrease in undesirable albuminoids. It will be very poor milk. The same result follows worrying by a deg, fast driving from pasture,' l- any fright! or harsh treatment. A rough, noisy,1 cow-boy, cr a worthless ear, may di rectly fliminisb the butter yield from one-third to one half, by injury to the milk yet within the cow, and the milker may hardly ‘notiee it.— Hunu and Home. 1 Light Pot Pie.—O -e pia„ ' n-r uiilk or buttermilk; «->e teacup o, sour cream and one teaspoon ,-i soda: add flour and mix Iiuro, like oread,: aud let it stand one flour to rise.— Never roll or cut it,but nip it oil' in j pieces the size you wish. Boil thirty minutes, and you will always have it as light as a puff. Almost any kind of fresh meat will make good pot pie, though chicken, beef and veal are preferable. Prepare the meat the same as for baked chicken pie ; drop one thickness of the ernst all around the top of the pot. Let the pot be uncovered the flrst fifteen minutes; then cover it and boil fifteen.minutes longer. Be sure that it does not stop boiling from tli6 time the crust is put in until you take it up j bring it' to the table immediately. Canadian Jelly Cake.—Beat oue teacupful of white sugar and four ounces of butter to a cream, add the yolks of three eggs, well beaten, aud two tablespoonfuls of milk. Stir iuto the above oue pound of flour, with two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar and oue of soda mixed in it. Bast of all add the whites of the eggs beaten to a strong froth. Flavor with lemon essence, aud pour the batter iuto four shallow tins like plates, aud bake lif teeu minutes in a quick oven. When cold, two cakes are placed on the top of each other, with jelly or preserves between. The cakes should be an inch thick when baked, and covered with powered sugar. Cube fob Hiccough.—A medical journal gives the following sale and simple means of relieving this troub lesome disorder: “Inflate the lungs as fully as possible, and thus pjess firmly ou the agitated diaphragm. In a few seconds the spasmodic action of the muscle will cease.” This may ! be true of ordinary hiccough; but this symptom occurring in advanced cases of disease accompanied with1 great prostration is almost invariably an indication that dent h is very near. i Toothache. — Saturate a sutali : piece of cotton in hartshbfit oh solu tion of am mo mu and apply to the tooth. Or take powdered alums ct .salt ou a piece of cotton and apply it | to the tooth. LIMIT YOUR CROPS. As tlm time Cor planting an<l sow ing is at hand, we wish again fo cau tion a class of farmers wlio have li-ge farms, against the temptation put more acres in plowed crops r it can be got in season, and cnlti ■ .1 w hile growing, or if the soil is ■ in |do nig ami planting more land ,0 .mi tic properly manured to in i' ! bill return I >r labor expended, b ind of enterprise and industry u rented in. d judgement, po't'-b. tv:-..,,: cn’.tivaicd and pnutteu in proper seas »n yields more. Uusirfr’s il'aii a much larger extent badly prepared, planted ontofsensoii, and but indifferently cultivated while the crops are growing. In one case the farmer drives his work and makes a profit; in the other the work drives him, his yield is generally poor, and he can scarce make both ends meet. Grass is the sheet anchor of farm ing. If the land is thin and lies in grass, the grass being allowed to fall aud mulch aud shade the ground while it rots, the soil is improved more cheaply than by any other mode. II a farm is large, and the owner has not sufficient foice or capital to farm it all, he should tnrn the parts into grass that are not used for cultivated crops, and when his rotation brings bitn around to these sod covered fields, be will grow immense crops of grain from them. A close grass sod is the best subduer of weeds that can be introduced on a farm. A heavy coat of grass protects the ground from the frosts of winter and the scorching sun of summer, keeping it mellow, moist and fertile, and pre serving the soil in that condition, which is most admirable, returning the heaviest crops when drawn upon by the farmer. Grass is the farmer’s best friend, bnt few there be who seem to have discovered this fact. UsEt'UL to Know.—Avoid a sec ond mortgage for a fresh loan. lie that maketh haste to be rich is not wise. Oats thrive in heavy and compact loam. Try top dressing grass with fair soil or subsoil and sand. Itye nourishes upon light and sandy soiis in general. All auimais require a certain amount of common salt. iJure bred sbeep are too expensive tu raise for mutton. Oalves fed on grass alone have p- or, dry aud tasteless flesh. Obange Pie ob Podding.—One P«. uud of butter, one pound of sugar i" Aten to a cream, oue glass of rose * ter; ten eggs beaten to a high both ; have two oranges and boil the ii.id until it is tender, change the water two or three times while it is boiling, them beat it in a mortar and squeeze the juice in, together with the rind of one lemon grated and the juice of the same ; mix all well to gether with the other ingredients, and bake in a puff, paste without an upper crust; half this quantity is sufficient for two ordinary sized pies. 4- Cuke foe Bauacue—There is hardly any ache to which children are subject so bad to bear and diffi cult to cure us the earache. But there is a remedy never known to fail. Take a bit of cotton batting, put on it a pinch of black pepper, gather it i p and tie it, dip in sweet ail and insert it in the ear. l'ut a flannel bandage over the head to keep it warm. It will give immedi ate relief. Geass and Clovee Seed to the Acbe.—As a general role the follow ing amounts will be about the right quantity, per aero for meadew: lied clover alone, 12 to 10 pounds ; clover and red top, 3 to 10 pounds each ; clover and timothy, 7 to 9 pounds each ; Alsike or Luceru, 10 pounds of either; orchard grass, 20 to 25 [rounds; blue grass, 25 to 30 pounds , German millet, 3 to 5 peeks. Remedy por Croup. Half a tea spoout'ul of pulverized alum in a little molasses, it is a simple remedy, oue almost always ou baud; aud oue dose seldom fails to give relief. If it should not, repeat it after oue hoar. The best recipe for goiug tlirough life iu au exquisite way with beauti ful maimer is to feel tbat everybody, uo matter how rich or how poor,needs all the kinduess they can get from others iu the wot Id. Vbu spu Airis.—Take one part of [i .ie clay aud two parts of vtuegar, ai d make into paste, and bind ou at uight with a wet towel. Oue appli* t ion is generally suiiieieut. 1 Subscribe lor the SUN,
