OBED’S SUBSCRIPTION.

“ • Let him that tbinketh he stan Jlth take heed lest he fall.’ That was the parson’s text this morning, and it recalled a circumstance in our early married life about which I sat thinking all through the service, and which, had 1 been moved by the spirit to arise and relate, would hate been a novel illustration for the text.” “ Relate it to me,” I urged. “It will do for a supplementary discourse.” My friend, at whose house I was led the -way out on the back piazza, and after placing me in a shaker fucker, seated herself in another, and began: * “ Obed and I Save been married ten years, you know. He, at the time of our marriage, had been at the bar but a year, and in a great city like B it is no easy matter for a young man to make his way among the best lawyers in the country. It nas been only within the last year or two that the receipts of his practice have allowed a deposit in the bank over and above our living expenses. But I had a little income, with which and my Yankee * capacity ’ I managed to make both ends of the year meet. Obed had plenty of money in prospect, but none in pocket; so, upon the whole, we were extremely poor, pinched for monev at even 1 turn, but nobody suspected it. 1 had a handsome outfit when I was married, and it lasted me for five years without the actual purchase of a new article. I was my own child's nurse, seamstress, cham-ber-maid and'honse maid, as we could only afford one domestic. It tires me now when I look back and live over those years of self-sacrifice, of a most tiresome economy, in order that we might keep out of debt. But we were young and hopeful, and we often had a little laugh at our own expense, as when dressed for church or a visit, Obed would say, * Nell, you’re dressed like a Princess, and I haven't a dollar in the world; one would think to see you that we rolled in wealth,’ while I would gayly remind him that 4 all that glitters is not gold.' I remember I had one costume of unusual beauty and richness which he never liked me to wear because it seemed to him like making a false impression, and so it lay folded in my trunk until half ruined, in order, as Obed said, to avoid the appearance of 4 evil.’ He is always quoting St- Paul, you know. 44 One secret of my cheerfulness during those trying years was that my faith in Obed was as deep as the sea and firm as the everlasting kills. Ino more believed it possible for him to do what he thought to be wrong than it was for him to fly. He is not a'brilliant fellow, as you know, but for solid qualities, as honesty, integrity, pureness of heart, earnestness, charitableness of judgment, accuracy of knowledge and a high and keen sense of justice. I have never known his equal. I never thought of hjs yielding to temptation, or abandoning any good cause because it was weak. In my estimation he was as a bulwark of strength. I suppose that I endowed him. in a way. with mv own decision and firmness, ’which have always made it as easy for me to sav uoas yes in regard to anything about’which my convictions were dear. “The greatest trial we had to contend with was our inability to be liberal and thoroughly hospitable. This suburban town where we now live is much wealthier now than then, but even then it was Aristocratic enough to tell what its futare would be. Every denomination must have its own church, and there were always fairs and festivals and sub scriptions for this and for that; and Obed was a church member, and very much looked up to because of his abilities, fine social position and high, character, and yon can imagine, how, with outmiserly income, it was utterly impossible for us to buy tickets for everything, subscribe toward the preachers salary, or contribute generously toward the church expenses in any way. The very best that we could do was to cast in our 4 widow s mite,’ and whenever help was needed that entailed no expense, to render that. * But when it came to money, mind yop, we could go no further. \\ e held it to be a crime to let our honest debts go unpaid for the sake of feeding the contributionbox.- \\ e knew men who did that way, but they were always in financial trouble, and I don't think they enjoyed their religion much, especially when they were sold out by the sheriff, their families reduced to penury, and various other families suffering loss because of their liberality in various ways. ’ Now, don’t misapprehend me! Nobody in the world loves to give better than I do; but I had rather be branded a monster oDpenuriousness than to be guilty of being liberal with money that properly belongs to somebody else. No doubt but that we were criticised, but we had the courage of our convictions. We knew better than anybody else what we could afford to do, although, as you know, there are persons in every neighborhood who think they know more aboqt your ability to give then you do yourself. “WeU in the second or third year of onr marrage the church-building mania seized upon the ambitious part of the congregation of the church of which Obed is a member. The old church was old-fashioned, it is true, ivy-grown, bat in most ways very comfortable, and to capacious as to hold a congregation shree our four times as large as that which worship in it But the town, it was argued, was growing rapidly in another direction, and in order for ‘our church’ to hold its own, and to gather

within its precincts the saints in costly array, there must be a new fold with all modern improvements for the accommodation of these fine-wooled sheep to pasture in; so subscriptions for the new church began. We had no sympathy with the movement, which was entirely for the aggrandizement of the denomination, and not at all for the salvation of sinners. . The churdh was in no sense needed, and Obed declared that if he were a millionaire he would not donate a sou toward its erection, for it would be but a useless and heavy burden upon The people—a sort.of ecclesiastical ‘white elephant’ “But the rggrandizers carried the day, and the bunding of the church began. with half of the required money pledged. Obed was elected one of the trustees, for the eclat of his name, I suppose. He attended one or two of the business meetings, when he lifted up his voice in opposition to the scheme, and that was all of his participation in the matter. “Finally, dedication day came. It was appointed for a Sunday in September, and everybody, far and near, who was at all likely to donate anything toward the lifting of the;debt on the enterprise, which amounted to six thousand dollars, was especially invited to attend the dedicatory services. The ‘bishop* was to officiate, and other noted men in the church were to be present. The Sunday morning came, and I awoke with a* headache which quite unfitted me for service. Obed announced his intention of going to hear the ‘bishop,’ and added, laughingly, 4 to see the run.’ ' “ 4 What fun? 1 I asked, in surprise. “ 4 The fun of seeing six thousand dollars squeezed out of the people. If they are all as dry an orange as I am they’ll raise about ten cents,’ and he thrust his hands into his trousers’ empty pockets. Then, kissing me, he walked away. I watched him as far as the gate, taking pride in his tall, manly figure and distinguished air, that asserted itself in spite of his somewhat seedy church suit. “Dinner hour came, but Obed had not returned. I remember I was sitting on the back porch of our cottage waiting tor him, when, like a flash, came the thought in my mind • What if Obed should be induced to subscriber The thought actually made me faint for a moment, but I ’ quickly dismissed it as being unworthy of him. He knew our struggle with poverty, and especially appreciated the sacrifices that I was constantly called upon- to make, and, as you know, I had been reared in affluence. No, Obed was not of that class of men who send money.to the 4 heathen’ while wife and children actually suffer for the necessaries of existence.

“xThat ignoble thought quite passed away, and half an hour later I heard Obed’s step on the walk, a little leas eager than usual, it seemed to me, and the moment he reached the porch I knew something was wrong, for I can always tell from Obed’s face the state of his feelings. 44 4 Well, back again, are you, Obed?’ I said, by way of greeting, as he threw his hat down with a boyish fling.- “ 4 Yes; and what do you think I’ve done, Nell?’ he asked, vehemently. “ 4 1 couldn’t say, Obed,’ I replied, quietly. “‘Subscribed a hundred dollars to that pesky church! I’m ashamed of myself! I despise myself! I never felt so mean in all my life! a hundred dollars!—and you here slaving your fingers’ ends off! .1 deserve to be shot for my ignominy!’ “ 4 A hundred dollars,’ I echoed, faintly, feeling the blood rushing to my heart. It may seem silly to you that for that paltry sum of money we should have been made so miserable; but to us, at that time, it was like a million. 44 4 Obed!’ I cried, after some moments of silence, 4 not for ten thousand one hundred dollars would I have lost my faith in your strength to do right.’ “ ‘Oh, Nell, ’tis just that which cuts me to the quick,’ he quickly retorted. ‘ Nobody could have made me believe that I would do such a thing. lam as surprised and pained as you can possibly be, for I had no idea that 1 had such a streak of weakness within me! St. Paul must have foreseen me, for sure, when he warned men to take heed lest they fall, while thinking that they stand.' “ Poor Obed| I bad never seen him so mortified and humiliated, and all on account of what he so fitly termed that 4 peskv church.’ “Then I asked him to tell me how it Happened ahd he described the 'method employed by the ‘bishop’ and bis officials to raise the six thousand * dollars. The officials each went among the congregation, soliciting subscriptions from occupants of each pew; then, as the amount subscribed failed to reach the desired sum, a neW appeal was made, and persons who had refused to subscribe at the first round were again besieged. There was much joking oy the various persons brought there to 4 talk’ money out of the people, and one of them, in speaking of certain pews, said the 4 swaths had not been mowed clean.’ So the 4 mowing’ was done over and over, and it was in the last 4 mowing,’ when the last thousand dollars was being raised, that Obed, after repeatedly saying he could not subscribe, was overcome by the combined persuasions of two parsons to allow his name to be put down for a hundred dollars—surprised, the moment he yielded, and regretting it as you have heard. “ 4 But we can’t pay it, so what was the use?’ I argued, in woman fashion. “ 4 Oh, I shall pay it, Nell,’ he cried, desperately, 4 if for no better reason than as a punishment for my weakness. But you shan’t suffer from it,’ he added, stonily.

“‘Don’t be too sure,’ I said, quietly. “He winced and replied: “‘True, Nell. I can never again feel sure of anything.’ t “As a comforting rejoinder I quoted ‘All things work together for to them who love theXord and keep His commandments.’ “We concluded the talk by Obed’s asking me to promise never to allude to the matter again until the subscription was paid, which I did, and then freeing himself of a final anathema against his own weakness and that 4 pesky church,’ we dropped the subject and went to the dinner table, which we had for the time being forgotten. “Well, within the following two years Obed paid that dreadful subscription. 1 remember well the night when he caine home, and, catching me np in his arms as if he had gone daft, explained his behavior by saying that the 4 unmentionable horror’ Was at last canceled, the hundred-dollar subscription was paid, and that if we only had a 4 fatted calf we would kill it in honor of the occasion. “Although neither Obed nor I during these two years had mentioned the matter, it was like a skeleton behind the door. My keen eyes detected his new economies; the retrenching screw had recived another turn, and it made my heart ache. Unknown to him I, too, made my new economies, in behalf of the same cause, until I felt mean and skimped to the furthest degree. I can’t tell you how much we endured because of that hundred dollars, which went toward paying for carpets and cushions and other luxuries that the worshipers in the old church had always done without. “Of course that ‘pesky church’ still stands, but from that day to this we have never entered it. The effort to

R aristocratic failnd and ita entire history has been a series of straggles to pay the preacher and ‘keep up style,’ “Two yean ago Obed, almost entirely at Us own expense, for he had come into possession of his patrimony then, refitted the old church, which, after all, has come to be fashionable as well as useful. When the suggestion was made to have the old church repaired Obed made a little speech, in which he said that rather than have a single man or woman subscribe a farthing beyond what ke or she was abundantly able to give, he much preferred to bear the enure expense himself; and that all subscriptions to the fond must be voluntary, He afterward said to me that rather than have any person subjected to the pain and humiliation that we had undergone because of that * dreadful subscription,’ he would worship in a barn to the end of his days., I often think if people who solicit subscriptions with a persistence that amounts to insolence would but consider the possible harm they commit that they would ply their business with more consideration, remembering that overcoming a good man’s sense of right and duty is leading him into the temptation from which he daily prays to be delivered. And now I’m through,” concluded my friend, with a bright laugh, “only that I wish to suggest to you that, if ever you have an 4 Obed’ bound for a cburch dedication, you had better go with him, unless yon happily more abound in filthy lucre than we did ten years ago; for Obed said afterward that if I only had been with him we should have been spared the history of that ‘dreadful subscription.’”— Mary Wager Fisher, in Good Company.

A Prime Article of Vinegar.

The fact that a prime article of vinegar always finds a ready market at a remunerative price makes it worth the while of every fanner having a surplus amount of apples and cider on hand to turn his attention to: the manufacture of cider-vinegar, which is the best kind made. When vinegar is manufactured directly from the apples the usual method is to grind the fruit coarsely, cutting it up just sufficiently to gam juice, and let the pomace remain in a vat for several days, long enough to undergo fermentation. Then press out and expose the juice in open vat or vessel two or three days, after which draw it off into barrels or casks and let remain in a warm place, with the bungs out, until ready for drawing off and bottling or storing in closed barrels. To convert cider into vinegar by allowing the v acid fermentation to take piace in a proper temperature requires considerable time. Tne cider is placed in casks or barrels—iron-bound whisky casks or old vinegar barrels are best—with the bungs out and stored either in loft, out-house or similar spot, wanned by the sun’s rays or kept at the right temperature by artificial heat. Fanners not unfrequently add a small amount of vinegar, water or a little “mother” to hasten the operation. When a rapid conversion is desired the cider is moved to a higher temperature and poured from one barrel to another, to bring it into more direct contact with the air; or it is divided and exposed to the air by placing it where it will trickle through a cask filled with oak, beech or birch shavings previously moistened in vinegar By allowing the liquid to pass through the shavings two or three times it is soon converted into strong vinegar. A method for many years practiced in France, and described in the Maine Farmer, is substantially as follows: Old cider or vinegar barrels, if sound, are preferred to new ones, but if new they are washed with scalding water; boiling vinegar is next poured in and the bung closed and the barrel allowed to stand until its sides become thoroughly saturated with the vinegar. This requires from one to three days, according to the material of which the barrel is made. After this preparation it is filled about one-third with strong and pure cider vinegar and two gallons of cider. Every eighth day thereafter riVo gallons of cider are added until the barrel is two-thirds full. In fourteen days after the last two gallons are added the whole will have turned into vinegar, one-half of which is drawn off and the process of filling with cider begun again. In summer the oxygenation will go on in the sun, but in cool weather the liquid is kept where the heat can be maintained at about eighty degrees. By this process it takes a little more than two months to produce sixteen gallons of vinegar.— N. Y. World.

Dairy Management in Winter.

Dairymen are learning every year more and more about their business. It used t 6 be considered good management for a dairyman to get through the winter season with as little expenditure of food as possible. It was a common thing for a smart one to boast how cheaply he had carried his herd through cold season, principally on straw, saying: “They are a little thin, but they will pick up when grass comes.” This man did not seem to realize that the “picking up” would all be expended on the recovery of lost condition, and that very little milk would be E reduced while this was going on. lost dairymen have ere this, that a cow in poor condition in spring will yield a comparatively poor return of milk through the season. They have learned that “something never comes from nothing,” and that no 'policy is more suicidal for a dairyman to winter his cows on innutritious food, so as to reduce their flesh. Every dairyman, who has ol&erved the effect of condition on the flow of milk after calving, knows that extra flesh represents an extra yield of milk. It is not difficult to determine, very closely, how much milk every pound of extra fat and flesh represents. A deep milker is very apt *o draw so heavily upon her own flesh as to become thin at the end of the season, having used all the extra food consumed during the summer in the secretion of milk, besides her extra flesh in the spring. If a cow has accumulated 100 pounds of extra flesh or fat during the winter, she will yield (if a good milker) at least 500 pounds more milk during the season, or five pounds of milk for one of extra flesh or fat. We think six'pounds of milk to one of flesh is nearci the actual yield. The dairyman, therefore, who does not feed his cows well through the winter is not only unmindful of the comfort of his cows, but is cheating himself out of the profits of the next season. —National Live Stock Journal, Chicago.

Savory Bekf.— Take a shin-bone of beef, cut from the hind quarter, and boil it until the meat drops from the bone. Chop it very fine, season with salt, pepper and ground cloves, and put it into a dish or mold. Pour over it a little of the liquor in which it was boiled, and set it away to harden. To be eaten cold. Serve in slices, and garnish with slices of lemon. A very nice way to dispose of soup meat.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Breakfast Cakes.— Take one quart of buttermilk or aour milk, three eggs, butter in size equal to half a hen’s egg, a little salt, stirring In fine Indian flour till of a proper consistence, and then patting it into p* n » of an inch in depth for a quick bake. Like the ship to the merchant—that is what the farm is.. If the merchant is not able to fill his ship to her full capacity with a cargo, he had better sell her and buy a sloop. If the farmer cannot till his large farm and make It Erofitable by producing paying crops, e had better sell one-hall of it and improve the other.— Lansing f*f Stuffed and Baked Fish.—Take out the backbone of the fish, leaving 'the head and tail on. Chop fine two snail onions, and fry them m a tablespoonful of butter, then add sufficient soaked bread to fill the fish, the yelk of an egg, and' season with salt, nutmeg and parsley, chopped fine. Stuff the fish with the mixture; pour over the whole some melted butter, and bake. If the oven is very hot, lay over it a greased paper, taking it off to allow the fish to become a nice brown. Delicious Soup.— One chicken, four quarts of water, one tablespoon of rice, one onion, one potato, one turnip, onehalf cup of tomatoes, two stalks of celery, pepper and salt to taste. Put on the chicken in cold water and boil to shreds. Strain the broth, return to the kettle and add rice, and in about half an hour add potato, onion and turnip chopped fine. About twenty minutes before serving add the celery cut in small pieces, the tomato, and pepper and salt. Boil well and serve very hot, and you will' have a delicious soup.

Freshly spilled ink can be removed from carpets by wetting in milk. Take cotton-batting and soak up all the ink that it will receive, being careful not to let it spread. Then take fresh cotton wet in milk, and sop it up carefully. Repeat this operation, changing the cotton and milk each time. After most of the ink has beef! taken up in this way, with fresh cotton and clean, rub the spot. Continue until all disappears; then wash the spot in clean, warm water and a little soap; rinse in clear water, and rub until nearly dry. For ink spots on marble, wood or paper, apply ammonia clear just-wetting the spot repeatedly till the ink disappears. — Exchange. According to the Pharmacist, it is a frequent practice in the New York Asylum for Inebriates to administer to the patients at bed-time a glass of milk to produce sleep, and the result is often found satisfactory without the use of medicine. Medicine is there sometimes prescribed in milk. It has been recently stated in medical journals that lactic acid has the effect of promoting sleep by acting as a sedative, and this acid may be produced in the alimentary canal after the ingestion of milk. Can this, then, be the explanation of the action of milk on the nervous system after a long-continued, excessive use of alcoholic drinkP Sugar, also, is capable of being converted in the stomach, in certain morbid conditions, into lactic acid; and a lump of sugar allowed to dissolve in the mouth on going to bed will frequently soothe the restless body to quiet and repose.— Exchange.

Hot-Beds for Early Plants.

Farmers whojreside in close proximity to cities can Obtain early plants at a trifling cost from gardeners who raise them extensively for sale. But a large proportion of our cultivators are far removed from business centers, and in order to gain an advanced crop of vegetables, either for market or home consumption, must, perforce, raise their own plants. For this class, therefore, hot-beds or cold frames, or both, become a necessity. Elaborate descriptions of hot-beds appearing from time to time make confusion more confounded with novices who are liable to look upon many very plain matters as formidable ones. slot-beds are, in brief, any arrangement by which light is admitted and heat generated and maintained at a uniform and sufficiently high temperature to meet the requirements or the special plants under treatment. Hotbeds, as usually adopted, depend upon E mass of fermenting horse-manure for their heat; hence the preparation of the manure becomes a matter of primary and chief importance. When the bed is designed to retain its usefulness for any length of time the droppings must be well worked previous to application. If the manure is obtained fresh from the stable or yard and found to be too dry, it shquld be thoroughly watered and thrown lightly together to ferment, which will take place in a few days. After this has occurred it ought to be completely turned, shaken and mixed, and allowed to again lie in a heap, heating somewhat for a few days to induce a uniform consistency of the mass. When thus cleared of its rankness the bed can be made. Select a spot where the ground has good under-drainage, as the bed must be dry underneath; let it be sheltered from the north as much as possible and fully exposed to the sun. It should be built up with the manure from two to four feet high, according to the severity of the season and climate, and wider by six inches every way than the frame to be placed over it. When the bed is placed directly on the surface of the ground in a wide flat heap, well beatened down, more manure is required than if a shallow pit is dug for its reception. Either mode is effectual, but the former is the more usual one. While being spread the manure should be shaken and mixed and firmly pressed down to render the bed compact. The hot-bed frame, which must now be placed on and kept. close until considerable heat is produced, can be made of planks, on edge, a foot or fourteen inches high and enough higher in the rear to give a good slant to the cover. If it is desired to sow the seed in the bed, six or eight inches of fine rich loam or soil should be placed within the frame upon the' top of the manure. When the seed is sown in pots or pans three or four inches of sifted sand or ashes may be spread on the surface of the bed m place of the soil, and the pots plunged in the bed. Air should be given day and night so long as there remains any danger from rank steam. As the beat of any hot-bed is liable in time to decline, linings are added, that is, fresh, hot, fermenting (but not rank) manure, applied about a foot in width all round the bed. There is always danger of burning by the sun and heat, which must be guarded against by constant watchfulness and ventilation. Some of the New York gardeners have of late years imitated the example of those in the old Country by covering hot-bed frames with cloth instead of the usual material, glass. Cotton cloth of close texture is stretched and nailed tightly over the frame and receives a coat, applied with an ordinary paint-brush, of the following mixture: Two (2) ounces lime-water, four (4) ounces of linseed oil, one (1) ounce of white of egg, two (2) ounces of yelk of egg; mix the lime-water and oil with a gentle heat, beat the eggs separately and mix with the former. Haying applied one coat of this mixture, wait until it dries before applying another. Some farmers there are who testify to the efficiency of two coats of boiled linseed oil alone as a wash for the muslin. Other* again report that melted lard applied to the muslin renders it waterproof and nearly transparent, which is all that is required.

Among the advantages claimed for shades of stout muslm prepared in either of the ways described over glass are; it is leak than one-fourth the expense, repairs are cheaply made, the frames thus covered are light and the beds require leas watering.— N. T. World.
