The life of every man, woman and * “ ' ‘ i as closely under the Divine care as though such person were the only or child. There are no As there is a law of storms in the natural world, so there is a law of trouble, a law of disaster, a law of misfortune; but the majority of the troubles of life are imaginary, and the most of those anticipated never come. At any rate, there is no cause for complaint against God. See how much He hath done to make thee happy. His sunshine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and halo for the mountain, greenness for the nf&BB,«saffron for the cloud and crystal th<^ billow, and procession of bah tiered flame through the opening gates \of the morning, Chaffinches to sing, rivyrs to glitter, seas to chant and springs to blossom, and overpowering air other sounds wiU> its song, and overarching all other splendor with its triumph, covering up all other beauty with its garlands, and outflashing all other thrones with its dominion—deliverance for a lost world through the Great Redeemer. I discourse of the sin of borrowing trouble. First. Such a habit of mind and heart is wrong, because it puts one into a despondency that ill fits him for duty. I planted two rose-bushes in my garden; the one thrived beautifully, the other pesished. 1 found the dead one on the shady side of the house. Our dispositions, dike our plants, need sunshine. Expectancy of repulse is the cause of many secular and religious failures Fear of bankruptcy has uptorn many a fine business, and sent the man dodging among the nbte-shavers. Fear of slander and abnsc h »s often invited fehnll the long-beaked vultures of scorn i^Hnd back-biting. Many of the misfortunes of life, like hyenas, flee if you courageously meet them. i How poorly prepared for religious duty is a man who sits down under the gloom of expected misfortune! If he pray, he ^ays: “I do not think I shall be answered.” If he give, he says: “1 expect they will steal the money.” Helen Chalmers told me that her father, Thomas Chalmers, in the darkest hour of .he history of the Free Church of Scotland, and when the woes of the land seemed to weigh upon his heart, ■aid,to the children: “Come, let ns go 'out and play’ ball or fly kite,” and the only difficulty in the play was that the children could not keep up with their father. The M’Cheynesand the Sumxoerfields of the church who did the most good, cultivated sunlight Away with th^ horrors! They distill poison; — they dig graves; and if they climb so high, they would drown the rejoicings of Heaven wtth sobs and wailing. You will l^e nothing but misfortune in the future if you sedulously watch for it. How shall a man catch the right kind of fish if he arranges his line, and hook, and bait to catch lizards and water serpents? Hunt for bats and hawks and bats and hawks you will find. Hunt for robin redbreasts you will find robin redbreasts. One night an eagle and an owl got into . fierce battle; the eagle unused to the night, was no match for an owl, which is most at home in the darkness, and the king of the air fell helpless, but the morning rose and with it the eagle; and the owl, and the night hawks, and - the bats came a second time tq the combat; now the eagle, in the sunlight, with a stroke of hts talons and a great cry, cleared the air, and his enemies, with torn feathers and splashed with blood, tumbldd into the thickets. Ye are the children of light. In the night of despondency you will have no chance against your enemies that flock up from beneath, but, trusting in God ami standing in the sunshine of the promises, yon shall “renew your youth like the eagle.”

Again: The habit of borrowing * trouble is wrong, because it has a tendency to make us overlook presen t blessing.- To:_ slake man’s thirst the rock is cleft, and cool waters leap into bis brimming cup. To feed his hunger the fields bow down with bending wheat, and the cattle come down with full udders from the clover pasture to give him milk, and the orchards yellow and ripen, casting their juicy fruits into his lap. Alas! that amid such exuberance of blessing man should growl as though he were a soldier on half rations or a sailor on short allowance; that a man should stand neck-deep n harvests looking forwar d to famine; that one should feel the strong pulses a of health marching" with regular t tread through all the avenues cf I life, and yet tremble at the expected assault of sickness; that a man should ait in his pleasant home fearful that | ruthless want will some day rattle the broken window-sash with tempest, and sweep the coals from the hearth, and pour hunger into the bread-tray; that a fed by Him who owns all the hai'should expect to starve; that one ■ God loves and surrounds with benediction, and attends with angelic and hovers over with more than fondness, should be looking a heritage of tears! Has God been with thee, that thou shonldst foreboding? Has He stinted thy board? Has He covered thee with rags? Has He spread traps for thy feet, and ' gulled thy cup, and rasped thy soul, and wrecked thee with storm, and thundered upon thee with a life full of calamity? If year father or brother come into yonr bank where gold and silver are lying about, yon do not them, for yon know they are honest, bnt if an entire stranger come by the safe; yon keep yonr eye on him, for you do hot know his designs. So ien treat God; not as a father, stranger, and aet suspiciously Him, as though they were Hetsosnld steal something, high table you began to thank fdr present blessing. Thank Him children, happy, buoyant, and Praise Him for your home, its fountain of song and laughter. Him for morning light and evenidow. Praise Him for fresh, cool bubbling from the rock, leaping the cascade, soaring in the mist, falling in the shower, washing aginst the rock and clapping its hands in the Love Hitn for the grass that the earth, and the clouds that the sky, and the foliage that the forest Thank Him for a ad a cross (• gaze upon

Alas up for to put of one camel all the intended for Use entire carava n. I never look at my memorandum-hock to see what engagements and duties are far ahead. Let erery week bear its own burdens. The shadows of to-day .arc thick enough; why implore the presence of other shadows? The cup is already distasteful, why halloo to disasters far distant to come, and wring out more pall into tho bitterness? Are we such champions that, haring won the belt in former encounters^ we ean go forth to challenge all the future? Here are business men just able to manage affairs as they now are. They can pay their rent, and meet their rotes, and manage aff airs, as they now are, hnt what if there should come a p anic? Go to-morrow and write on yonr day-hook, on your ledger, on yonr money-safe: “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Do not worry about, notes that are far ii-om due. Do not pile upon your counting desk the financial anxieties of the next twenty years. The God who lias taken care of yonr worldly occupation, guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of the burglar, will be as faithful in IcOl s s in 1881. God’s hand is mightier than the machinations of stock gambler:,, or the plots of political demagogues, or the red right arm of revolution, anti the darkness will fly and the storm fall dead at Ills feet. So there are persons in feeble health, and they are worried about the future. They make out very well now, but they are bothering themselves about future pleurisies and rheumatisms and neulalgias and fevars. Their eyesight is ieehle, and they are worried lest they entirely lose it. Their hearing is indistinct, and they are alarmed lest they lecome entirely deaf. They felt chilly to-day, and are expecting an attack of typhoid. They have been troubled for weeks with some perplexing malady, s,nd dread becoming life-long invalids. Take care of your health now, and trust God for the future. Be not guilty of the blasphemy of asking Him to take cu re of you while yon sleep with yonr windows tight down, or cat ehicken salad at 11 o’clock at night, or sit down on a cake of ice to eool off. . Be prudent and then be confident. Someof the sickest people have been the most useful. It was i» with Payson, who died deaths daily, and Robert Hall, who used to stop in the midst of his sermon and lie down on the pnlpit sofa to rest, and then go on again. Theodore Frelinghuysen had a great horror of dying till the time came, and then went peacefully. Take care of the present, and let the future look out for itself. “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Again: The habit of borrowing misfortune is wrong, because it unfits us for it when it actually does come. AVe can not always have smooth sailing. Life’s path will sometimes tumble among declivities, and mount a steep, and he thorn-pierce^^Judas will kiss our cheek, and thraWeu ns for thirty pieces of silver. Human scorn jwill try to crucify ns between two thieves. We will hear the iron gate of the sepulcher creak and grind as it shnts in our kindred. Butifee can not get ready for these thinjrs by forebodings. They who fight imaginary woes will come, out of breath, into conflict with the armed disasters of the future. Their ammunition will have wasted long before they come the guns of the real misfortune, in attemping to jump a wall, times go so far, back in order to impetus, that when they come up they are exhausted; and these long raws in order to get spring enough to vault trouble, bring ns up at last to the dreadful reality with our strength gone. Finally: The habit of borrowing trouble is wrong, because it is unbelief. God has promised to take care of us. The Bible blooms with assurances. Your hunger will be alleviated; yonr sorrows will he healed. God will sandal yonr feet, and smobt yonr path, and 'along by frowning crag and opening grave sound the voices of victory and good cheer. The summer clouds that seem thunder-charged really carry in their bosom harvests of wheat and shocks of corn, and vineyards purpling for the wine-press. The wrathful wave will kiss the feet of the great sitormwalker. Our great Joshua will command, and above you r sonl the sun of prosperity will stand still. Bleak and wave-struck Patinos shall have apocalyptic vision, and yon shall hear the cry of the elders, and the sweep of wings, and trumpets of salvation, and the voice of hallelujah unto God for. ever. Yonr way may wind along dangerous bridle-paths, and amid wolfs howl and the scream of the vulture, hnt the way still winds upward till angels guard it, Mid trees of life overarch it, and thrones line it, and crystalline four tains leap on it, and the pathway ends at igates that are pearl and streets that are gold, and temples that are always open, and hills that quake with perpetual i;ong, and a city mingling forever Sabloath, and jubilee, and triumph, and coronation. been under Boys someget

Nothing in nature presents such an endless variety of forms and phases a» the sea. The earth changes its aspect with the seasons, but the ocean is more changefnl even than the clouds. Its ights and shadows shift momently, and of all its myriads of acrobatic billows no two perform their somersaults alike. How glorious to stand on the yellow beach and see, rank on rank, the white knights of Neptune, with foam-plumes streaming from their emerald helms, come charging ini IVhat is the shock of armies to the eolision between raging sea and rock* bound shore!

are said to be instinctive smugglers, | and eertsinljr it is a common thing for such women as have been abroad and tasted the sweets of cheap Parisian gloves, to order such small artlclesrby, mail from Paris and run the risk of having their property seised for duty, la nine cases ont of ten there is no seizure, and the purchaser saves from S3 to 60 per cent on what would have been the cost of the goods if imported , through the custom bouse. A young woman, who had more than once successfully imparted gloves and other trifles, was summoned to the custom house in Sew York and informed that she must pay doty on a package brought by mail from a famotts Parisian shop, She paid her duty with somewhat the feeling of a criminal caught in the act and was informed that upon the nest occasion of a seizure she must appeal to the treasury department at Washington. “But I am perfectly willing to pay the duty,” said she, “if you’ll only tell me how to do it without the necessity of coming to the custom house.” The officer to whom she addressed this plaint then explained the complicated, red tfcpe system through which she must go if she would ctfjcy the privilege of importing goods from Paris without offending against the laws of the United States. When he had finished she gave a sigh of despair and" came away. Explaining the matter to an acquaintance she said: “I could scarcely understand the system, and it is so complicated that I think I’ll just go on as before and run the risk of seizure. So long as they don’t confiscate the whole of my property, I can better afford to import and pay duty than to buy in New York, as the retail prices in the shops here are nearly double those in Paris, while the duty is seldom more than 50 or 69 per cent” Here is the whole thing in a nut-he’L The probability is that had the lady in question been buying gloves in New York she could have bought Parisian gloves brought over by an importer and she would have paid nearly double the Parisian price, because importer, jobber and retailer must have a profit not only npon the price of the goods abroad, but as well upon the duty which the government exacts; not because it needs the revenue, but because American glove makers demand that the price of Parisian gloves shalP be artifically enhanced in order that American gloves shall fetch more than their value in the markets of the world. Thus the vex a- ; tious tariff tends to make law-breakers l ’ of good women who would shrink with ' ‘ horror from dopriying anyone, whether a private individual or a government, of wbat is rightfully the property of such individual or government. Those who object to laws prohibiting the sale of strong driak,as an invasion of natural right, should study the turiff laws and customs regulations of this country if they would learn what it is to be bound hand and foot with red tape. THE TIN TAX.. Mow It Operates to Prevent the Saving oT a Great Surplus Fruit Crop. Immense crops of all kinds are promised this year, and it is safe to say that thousands of bushels of peaches, pears, apples and other fruits wiH go to waste this fall that millions of people would be glad to purchase next winter at fair prices. But perishable fruits can be marketed in winter only when preserved, and sugar and tin 0r glass are needed to do the preserving. In England and Scotland, where these supplies have for years sold at from onehalf to three-fourths of the American prices, large canning factories have become numerous and the growing of nil kinds of fruits much more profitable; since, when the yield is large, a market is always guarateed for the surplus at fair prices. In the county of Kent alone 50,000 persons are Interested as growers, pickers and packers, in the production of fruits for jams, etc. Cheap sugar, tin and glass have built England’s canning factories and given her the markets of the world for preserved fruits, jams, etc., to such an extent that she now exports large quantities of these goods to the United States—the greatest fruit growing country in the world. This year the United States pays but little more for sugar than Engiand. This might in time canse canning factories to spring up here in every fruit and vegetable section but for the fact that McKinley guarded against any such tendency by doubling the duties on tinned plate and glassware. Ties so raises their prices that for some pnrposes farmers will have to return to the use of crockery and wooden vessels. Abolish the entire duties on sugnr, tinned plate and glass and thousands of farms, now worthless, will become valuable and millions of people, now hnngry, will be provided with cheap food. Protection that protects farmers and laborers is what the country nee* is, and will some day have.

SHERMAN'S ANTI-TRUST LAW. hurt to Aid In the Campaign L»t Fall and Now to Be Revived to Aid In Me* Ktnlejr’s Struggle. Sherman’s anti trust law, which w as claimed by the McKinleyites to be Uie unusual panacea, was forgotten directly after the campaign last fall. It is to be revived again, howev-r, to fool thd fanners of Ohio into voting for Mr. McKinley. The atttorney-general las just sent oat letters of instruction to his assistants throughout the country to look into the matter and scope of the law. Their investigation will prove it to be just what it was meant to be, mere claptrap and humbug. That the trusts are not afraid of it is shown by the recent formation of a new trust of thirteen of the largest flint glass concerns in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. This latest product of the McKinley tariff is called the United States Glass Co. With its capital of $4,000,000 and its complete control' of affairs it will be able to maintain the rata of dividends to about 60 per cent, instead of only an average of 50 per cent, during the past ten years. One of the members of thin trust, the Nickel Plate Glass Co., started three years ago, was so successful that it has doubled its capital out of its e arnings, equal to an average dividend of 38 per cent The stock of the Columbia company, another member of the trust, has increased in value 300 per emit in the past five years. Another concern declared the following dividends: January, 1883, 30 per cent; August, 1883, 30 per cent; Jannary, 1884, 40 per cent; July, 1884, 30 per cent; January, 1885, 40 per cent, and July, 1885, 30 per cent Surely such trusts as these, so long as they pay the bill, need havo no fear of Sherman’s trust killer, especially al at a time when a prominent member of a glass tru' it is bolding a cabinet position. —A bushel of wheat will buy two or three times as much sugsr to-day as it did a year ago.

rrtraloaufc or Fever Root, Wh«re ana Hour It tirava. The name of this interesting plant is ierived from two Greek words meaning three bones. (The drupe contains three bony seeds.) Two species only are found in the United State!—T. augnstifolinm, a rarer and more southern form, and T. jSnerfoHatum which is widely distributed. Vnd, though seldom abundant, is still not rare. The plant is herbaceous, growing from three to four feet high without branches. The leaves are large, perfoliate, and as wall as the stems are clothed with soft somewhat stieky or , clammy hairs. Flowers, dusky purple, growing In clusters of five or more closely around the stem at the basis of the leaves; these are followed by orange-colored, three-seeded drupes crowned by the persistent calyx segments. .These drupes are said to he AM M M M M ■> 1,1, t It t M f .VH A^f_

In June, its season of bloom, the coarse, dark .herbage and curious, suspicious looking, dusky or brownish purple flowers con scarcely fail to draw attention even from the least observant. Its original habit is given as “rocky woods,” but through the agency probably of birds it has extended its domains to hedges and roadsides where it rarely forms patches of smalt extent—more commonly, growing singly or in groups of three or four. ■ The order to which this plant be- : longs —- the caprifoliacese — includes about 230 species, 47 of which are North American. Among its relatives of note we might name the honeysuckles, snowberry, elder, cranberry, snowball and black haw. With few exceptions this is an order of shrubs many of them being of rare beauty but few, if any, destitute of that quality or deserving of the epithets “bush or weeds.” — Prairk* Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN. Destroy all webs in trees and do so while the caterpillars are small, as it will then be a much easier job. This out your early beets by using the large ones for the table, or, if necessary, thin them out and throw . the surplus beets and leaves to the pigs. The dairyman who knows how to handl§ his milk and butter during the warm season will know how to save expenses, avoid loss and add to his profits. Save all the cabbage plants that do not head up; they make one of the very best green feeds to store away for use during the winter. If they are properly stored they will last till spring.—St Louis Republic. Fertilizer at the stem of a plant is not as valuable as if mingled in the soil around it, a foot away or more, according to the size of the growing plant above ground. For trees it should extend even further than the largest branches. Aim stimulants should be applied' with care. Begonias are particularly sensitive to them, and they should be used but seldom on geraniums, but to roses, fuchsias, carnations, heliotropes and others they may be given with more safety. If the droppings from the cows in a small pasture become very noticeable it will pay to have the heaps scattered over the gronnd. If left, a major part of the fertility sinks directly into the soil and gets down below the roots of the grass. The cost of keeping a cow has been shown to be about 10 cents per day, or $30 per year. Any variation from this is probably offset by the difference in value of products. If a cow will not pay this per year she is worse than no cow. lx order to lessen the number of insects next season make it a point to rake up all the falle n fruits, as they will make excellent food for the pigs if cooked. It is in the fallen apples, peaches and pears that many of the insects are bred. A farmer should first find out whether or not his cov- ia capable of producing a profit, before beginning to feed her on scientific.principles. There are thousands of cows that could not produce a cent’s worth of profit on the best feed on earth. MEASURING LAND. A Device That Ia Very Eight, a Rapid Worker and Accurate.
