“Brought In by a Smile.”

A London minister said to a brother clergyman, one Monday morning: ‘ ‘ Seven persons were received into my church yesteiilay, and they were all brought in by a^mile.” “ Brought in. by a 6mile!” echoed the astonished listener; “ what do you mean ?” “ I will explain. Several months ago, as I passed a certain house on my way to church, I saw, held in the arms of its nurse, a beautiful infant. As it fi.xed its large eyes on me I smiled, and the sweet child returned the smile. The next Sabbath the babe was again before the winand again I gave it a smile; and this time, as before, it gave back ah answering smile. The third Sabbath I looked up at the wihdow as I' passed, and now the babe smiled down on me, this time I threw to the pretty prattler a kiss. Instantly one little hand was extended, and a kiss thrown back to me. And so it came to pass that I learned to for the baby on my way to eharch; and asthe weeks went by I noticed that the nurse and the baby were not aleae. - Other members of the family pressed to the window to see the gentleman who had always a smile for the* household pet. “ One Saibbath, as I passed, two children, a boy and a girl, stood at the window, besiae the baby. That morning the father and mother had said to these children : * Make yourselves ready for church, for we think that the gentleman who always smiles to the baby 4a a minister. When he passes, do you follow him and see where he preaches.’ The children were quite willing to follow the suggestion. of their parents < and after I uad passed, the door opened and the children stepped uftem the paveinqut, and kept near me from strfeet to street, until I entered my own church, where they followed me, and seats were given them. “ When they reached home they sought their parents, mid exclaimed, eagerly: ‘He is a minister, and we found his church, and he preachefd a beautiful sermon this morning. You must goand bear him next Sabbath. ; To persuade the parents was not difficult, and, guided by their children, they found, their way to church. They, too, were pleased, and other members of the household were induced to come to the house of God. God blessed to them my ministry, and seven members of this household have been led to give their hearts to Jesus, and to unite with the people of <lod; and I repeat what I before said to you, that the£ were brought in by a Smile.” ; No one is too poor, too full of labor and care to gtve a smile and a kind word; and the loving Sayipr makes use of instruments so simple to Wing souls into His kingdom.— Ufirititian at Work.

Christ All-Sufficient.

• fc. ■ We have seen already that to the believer Christ is all in all—the Alpha and OmeSl, the source and end of all true life. e is the soul’s raiment, and food, and rest—its wisdom, righteousness and strength; without Him we can do noththing, but witn Him we can do all things/ It is one thing to read this and even believe itj it is another ,to experience its truth m the actual necessities of life. Luther says somewhere, “No man .will lift his heddito Heaven’till he Audinothing on earth, on Which he may h#u Jt,” and so one object of the discipline of sorrow/# to takeaway frep up our earthly props, all created sources of wisdom, anu strength, and comfort, that we itfiay find that in Christ tfll fullness dwells. How many have had to say when fire or commercial disaster has swept awigr their propertyj” I never knew before how secure Was my inheritance ih Christ;’* whensTander and unkindness have torn the spirit; “ I never knew before what a friend I had in J[eauswhen sickness or bereavement have draped all the World in darkness, “ O how bright and calm and healing is the presence ot my Lord!"— Bm. Wm. A. Uaigh , in Chicago Standard. ' ■ l. i

The Secret of a True Life.

There is sofhe masterful principle sovereign over each life. ■■ In the crypt of,the Cathedral of Bt. Paul, in Lonaon, you Come upon the Save of Sir Christopher Wren. Upon e marble you read fn Latin the inscription : “ If you wbtfld see his monument, look About yon." In other wprds, the vast Cathedral, with Its soaritig dome, is but the actualization of tba thought which once thrilled that brain, now ■soldering In the grave before you. The building is but the obedient issue of the plan conceived and curled out by the great builder. In this sense every man’s life is his own monument as well. Whether one’s life be strong and surmounting, like that dome, grazing the «tan almost with Its gilded cross, or

"■"■WfV.". 111 j ""i I ■' ■■■■■ »y "■»' "" "*" whether it be nhabby and shambling, like many of the smitten, decaying buildings lining the rirer-side under the dome’s shadow; whether the life he bullded of gold, silver, precious stones, which will endure, or be but a mass, thrown together, of wood, hay, stubble, which will consume, depends always and for every man upon the principle the inner thought and purpose—the fundamental, energizing idea which lies behind the life. The life of every man is but the servant of his architectural choice. True 11 vga do not happen. If a man live well, it la because, on the whole, he chooses to live well. If a man livFTli, it is because, on the whole, he chooses to live ill. For some the prominent principle for life is wealth at any hazard, and they build a structure fraudulent, cracked, stained, though outwardly glittering it may be. For others the prominent principle for life is pleasnre, and they become selfish, craving, constantly searching, constantly disappointed, querulous, complaining, r Bnt well the Scriptures tell us that the propelling principle for the true life is Faith. “ The just shall live by Faith.” This ig the Scriptural secret for a true life. Faith, that is to say, God first, and the soul enduring as seeing Him who is invisible. Only thus can any life reach upward to the stars. Thus the lowlies mSy! There is no profounder question a man can ask himself than, What is the shaping principle of my life ? It is impossible to get a noble life out of air ignoble inner and harbored thought for life.— Ren. Waylaid Hoyt , tn Baptist Weekly.

Life Among the Mormons.

The thraldom that Utah labors under is sadly apparent. Its laws have been the work of ’’ Apostles and Prophets.” The result is a priest-ridden community. Their system of public education 1 is very inferior. It is their custom to bring out their young brethren to “ give testimony” as mouth-pieces of the Lord. I heard recently some of these “ testimonies” at a gathering pf some 120 women of all ages. The leading spirit seemed to be Airs. Eliza R. Snow. She is full seventy years of age, and has been ’’sealed” to the Prophet Joseph Smith for eternity and to Brigham Young for this life. She predicted a great famine, and exhorted the sisters of Zion to gather grain, for an awful day was coming when both saints and sinners would come to be fed from die granaries of Zion. The women at the close of the meeting went away each one, seemingly, firmly determined to gather in her little mite of grain to be stored up against the coming famine. During the meeting an Irish woman arose to ” bear testimony” that she enjoyed the only true religion in the world. She was thankful for the knowledge given her. She was not afraid to talk before anybody, not even the preachers, of whom Bhe had confuted as many as five at a time, She believed’-in the prophecy about the grain, too, for she had once read a story about a princess somewhere, she could not exactly recollect, who died,of starvation, and in the tomb beside her were her jewels and diamonds and pearls, witha letter saving.- “ May the finder of these jewels die by the same death I did.” This proved to her the reality of the impending famine. I was, at this meeting, asked to give my own “ testimony,” but replied that I had come to listen and learn. Shortly, a sister became inspired and spoke in tongues.” Her manner and gesticulation were those of an insane person. I distinguished a few such words as “uno urano, uro turo tuero te,” and others similar in sound. These expressions Sister Zama L. Young, a prophet, interpreted as meaning that there is a recording angel at the right hand of Ood, who keeps account of all the good and evil done in life. This was followed by an exhortation to repent, watch mid pray.. At the close of this meeting, which lasted over two hours, I asked The lady if she knew the language she had been called upon to interpret. She replied that she had been raised on a Ranch, and had received scarcely any of the advantages of early education. H«r knowledge came on the spot, instantaneously, through the inspiration of prayer. They asked me if I was an infidel. On this particular head I replied indefinitely, but told them it was rather hard to believe in “ prophecies,” “ gifts of inspiration,” or speaking in public without any previous thought as to wliat I might say. Public schools are needed here. There are many young men and women here whose parents have not bee a able to give them an education. The Episcopal Church gives free tuition for 200 children, and has many more applications, notwithstanding the Mormon opposition to free schools. Recently this school performed the Cantata of Queen Esther to crowded audiences Mrs. Haydon, who supervised this performance, is about leaving for Europe, much to the regret of the Salt Lake people. A Gentile correspondent of one of the Salt Lajce journals thus sets forth some of the pecularities attending education here; “ My favored lot in Zion is that of a (Jay laborer. I have about $250 taxable property, and four children of school age. To keep them in school, say seven months in the year, costs thirty-five dollars for tuition alone, exclusive of books, schoolhouse tax, etc. Tim is a tax of fourteen per cent, on my taxable property for the one item of tuition alone. Now, were I a citizen of lowa, I would pay for the privileges, with all school-house expenses thrown in, on the above $250, $1.50; or in Illinois, $1; in Ohio, 90 cents; Maine, 75 cents; New York, 43 cents; Indiana, 22 cents. Now, Brigham Young’s assessable property is noi over $2,500,000, and his not very numerous offspring who are of school age, we estimate at forty, making his school tax .00014, or about one-seventh of one mill on the dollar, while I pay .14, or 140 mills. That ia to say, I pay one dollar in seven of my assessable property, while Brighamjpays one in $7,l4B.”— SaU Lake Cor. N. Y. Graphic. «Mr .i ii i ——— .’-II .n.tmhm

—ln connection with the Moody and Sankey services in Boston, the following is related: “ A business man of Boston, a member of the church, is in the habit of lunching down town. A few days since, as he was seated at the table in a restaurant where he was no stranger, the proprietor accosted him with ‘Do you see any change here?’ ‘No.’ ‘Why, don’t you notice that my.bar is gone ?’ ‘ Well,’ said the wondering disciple, after staring a moment, ‘ what Is that for U ‘Why,you see, I’ve been down to the Tabernacle lately, and I’ve made np my mind that if cah’taftbm this business any longer; so I’ve turned round.’ And, taking a card from Ms pocket, he showed a list of men he was praying for, and told earnestly of the work he was now doing. Then, with the eagerness and confidence of new-born enthusiasm, he arid, 4 flow tell me what Jou are doing?’ No answer. The proessed disciple wasn’t doing anything. But the question sent an astonished man home to ask God to show him his work.”

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Melons and encumbers can be planted in square pieces of thick sod, and placed in some warm place in the window or by the stove, and thus get a good start by the time there is no danger of frost. Then the sod can be set in the ground, and the aod rotting will give the plants a good start. And watermelons are worth more in July than September.— lowa State Register. “ What is the reason we cannot raise as large strawberries as we read of,” is a common inquiry. The reason is very simple. Strawberries will grow large anywhere and for anyone if they can have a deeply-worked ana very rich bed and plenty of water. The richest garden is not rich enough for these great strawberries. The sou must be, a third of it, rotten manure, down a foot deep—then one may expect fine berries.—Detroit Tribune. Cottage Pudding.— One egg, two and a half spoonfuls melted butter, one cup of sugar, all beaten to a cream. Then add one cup of milk, in which is dissolved one teaspoonful of soda; into this stir one full pint of flour, in which is well mixed two teaspoonfnls of cream-tartar; flavor with lemon or nutmeg; hake half an hour; eat with sauce, made of one cup of sugar, one large spoonful of butter, one pint of boiling water; flavor with lemon and thicken with one teaspoonful of flour. Boil a few moments. “The thing is certain,” said the Deacon, “we shall have to plant small potatoes this year.j The spring of 1875 potatoes were scarce and high, and a great many Binall potatoes were planted—some not larger than marbles—yet we never had such a great potato crop. The next spring potatoes were not worth marketing, and we planted the best and largest —and never bad a worse crop. And so it is evident that the character of the season has more to do with the result than the size of of the seed.”— American Agriculturist.

Dr. Henry Pigeon writes to the London Lancet as follows: “The marvelous success which has attended my treatment of scarlet fever by sulphur induces me to let mymeaical brethren know of my plan, so that they may be able to supply the same remedy without delay. All the cases in which I used it were very well marked, and the epidermis on the arms in each case came away like the skin of a snake. The following is the exact treatment followed in each case: Thoroughly anoint the patient twice daily with sulphur ointment; give five to ten grains of sulphur in a little jam three times a day. Sufficient sulphur was burned, twice daily (on coals on a shovel), to fill the room with the fumes, and, of course, was thoroughly inhaled l>y the patient.” A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the following recipe for making a good cement: A good cement for mending almost anything may be made by mixing together litharge and glycerine to the consistency of thick cream or fresh putty. This cement is useful for mending stone jars or any other coarse earthenware, stopping leaks in seams of tinpans or wash boners, cracks and holes in iron kettles, etc. I have filled holes an inch in diameter in kettles and used the same for years in boiling water and feed. It may also be used to fasten on lamp tops, to tighten loose nuts, to secure loose bolts whose nuts are lost, tighten loose joints of wood or iron, loose boxes in wagon-hubs, and in a great many others. Ii all cases the article mended should not be used till the cement has hardened, which will require from one day to a week, according to the quantity used. This cement will resist the action of water hot or cold, acids, and almost any degree of heat. 1

To Exterminate Parasites of Fowls.

“ One ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” says the old adage. In iregard to parasitic insects of poultry, this is particularly true. It is much less trouble to keep them down, so as to be almost entirely clear of them, than it is to fight a host of vermin. I said almoet, for there is, no doubt, a remnant always remaining of some lice, for no sooner are the ordinary cleanliness and vigilance relaxed, than they again show themselves. If fowls are kept in a damp place without dust or dry earth, these insects immediately appear in large numbers. The methods of destroying most of them are very easy. The poll-tick is prevented or got rid of by slightly greasing the heads of the chicks as soon as hatched. The same process, repeated once a week for about two or three weeks, will carry ithem beyond further danger. I will not omthis subject give the Latin names of insects, as I find so much variableness and so few varieties described that it is well to employ the terms in common use. Of the varieties that still remain on the fowl, there arc two 'distinct classes: Lice that suck the blood from the fowl’s body, all of which havfe their mouths near the ends of their noses, and another class that live on and eat the feathers. These latter have their mouths under the middle of the head, and of them there are several varieties, differing from each other in form, .color, and size. Both kinds can be got rid of by dusting sulphur well into the feathers of the birds. If the chickens are young and under the hen, dust the hen thoroughly with sulphur, and, provided the usual dust bath be supplied, this treatment will keep the fowls clean, if repeated about once a week. Of the gape-worm, it is difficult to say anything positive, though of course prevention is best. In order to get rid of this pest, the Burest way, when a yard is once infestest, is to remove the fowls entirely away from the contaminated ground. I know of a yard that was infested for many yean. One year the chickens were all taken across a brook to another part of the firnn and nut allowed to visit the old ground until too large to get the disease. No trace of the gapes has been seen there since then, although several years have elapsed. Home poultry authorities say that there is a connection between the gape-worm and a kind of louse, and that the latter either introduces or extends the gapeworm; but, after some experiments, I am satisfied no such connection exists. Of the remedies for gapes I cannot say much, as there are as many advanced with as much positiveuess as there are cures for the toothache. If attended to in time, the worms can sometimes be drawn out with a twisted horse-hair or a thin feather. Care must be taken that the hair enters the windpipe, as the worms are there and not in the throat. Details of this process would make too long a chapter, so I simply generalize the subject until properly treated. Carbolic acid fumes inhaled by the chicks, either in a box or by holding the chink over the acid, helated hot in a spoon over a lamp, will also sometimes dislodge them; but when the worms get low down in the throat, when the windpipe branches, there is not much hope for the sufferer. 7The house-mite or spider, that Urea in the wood-work of dirty nests, is easily got

rid of by cleanliness, whitewash or petro leum and fumigation. A good way is to saturate all the inside wood-work with’ crude petroleum. For scaly-leg itch, soak the legs with kerosene ou, holding the toes upward, so that ths oil will ran well under the scales. Two or three applications generally effect a cure. Intestinal worms are dislodged by a decoction of wormwood, or the leaves may be cat up and given in food, or a pill made of aloes may be administered; but these pests are rarely numerous enough to be of serious consequence.— Henry Hales, in Rural Hem Yorker

Flowing.

Plowing la one of the most important operations on the farm, and it strikes me that if farmers would do this work better they would need less bone-dust and other bought fertilizers. Some plow around the field, leaving a great ridge next the fence; others plow in lands without setting a stake, plowing full dopth from the first, leaving a ridge in the middle that looks like a railroad grade. The only object is to get the ground turned upside down or turned up, no matter how. They drive like blazes, plowing two or 110*60 acres per day, never stopping to turndown a aod. If the plow bounces out they go right ahead, whether it catches within three feet or ten. If the plow runs out at the end all right, or if not, they plow across the end of the land in a half circle. If the plow runs out at tho end, they never stop to place it right, but start in where it happens, cut and cover for several feet, or start in the other furrow and gradually ru# off till they have a full furrow. If such men make a straight furrow from end to end, it is a pure accident. The dead furrow caps the climax. The next to last furrow is plowed full depth and the last one full width. We have seen them two or three feet wide, and so crooked that an old cow would walk on the plowed land rather than follow it. This makes nice mowing and reaping. If men were compelled by law to plow in this way, forbidden to do good plowing, we should hear more grumbling and more boasting about what they could do, than we now hear about hard times. Now let us look at the other side of the picture. A good farmer—one who takes pride in his work—in starting a land will first set up several stakes. Then he draws a furrow perfectly straight, and about onethird the depth he intends to plow the field. There is one thing I forgot to mention ; before he commences the land, he plows a very shallow furrow along each end, about eight feet from the fence, to keep the ends straight. Now we will go back to the land. If he intends to plow the field nine inches deep, he will plow his first furrow three inches; the second furrow should be six inches deep and well laid up on the first. He is not afraid of getting his hands dirty; when the plow fails to turn it perfectly, and he can not get it over with hfe foot to suit him, he will take his hands. The third furrow he will plow full depth. He will keep his furrows all about the same width (about fourteen inches) and depth till he comes to the third from the last, when he begins to plow shallower. Next to the last furrow is made about half depth of the ordinary furrow, and not over a foot wide, or it will lay too fiat. Then the last furrow takes all the sod and about half of the bottom of the shallow furrow; or it can take the sod only, and a final furrow plowed the same’ way, in the bottom of the shallow furrow. This makes the nicest finish; you can scarcely notice the ridge, and the dead furrow is about the width of an ordinary one, and as straight as a line. The furrows do not lay asnat as pancakes, but are well laid up, with plenty of loose dirt to harrow down between them. Plowing matches are of far less frequent occurrence than they should be. I have come to the conclusion, from observation, that the average farmer would much rather attend a horse race than a plowing match. There is one thing of which I will speak before closing, and that is, nearly or quite all the first-class plowing in this locality is done with right-hand plows, and yet there is not one right-hand plow used to ten lefthand plows. Why this is so I cannot tell, unless it is because most farmers are too careless to use the right-hand plow. In conclusion, I think there is reform needed in plowing as much as in many other things to which more attention is given.— Cor. Practical Farmer.

How to Detect Bogus Coins.

A good deal of bogus silver coin is said to be in circulation. A Sub-Treasury expert says the bogus pieces of which the public should be particularly cautious are the half-dollars, composed of antimony, lead and tin. It should be remembered that these are light. A genuine half-dol-lar weighs 192.0 grains; the antimony and lead and tin humbugs weigh only 142 grains. Type-metal is also perverted from its honest, original purpose by the coiners. It is electroplated first with copper and then with silver. It weighs 192.9, like the real half-dollar, but the color is not good; the false pieces are thicker than the genuine, and the devices are feeble and faulty. Mr. Du Bois, Assayer of the Mint, says officially that there is some thing about genuine coin which puts it beyond suspicion, especially when the new white surface has given place to the inimitable and permanent “ nine-tenths tint.” and generally it speaks well for itself as to color and sonority. There is a liquid test of silver which can be put dp by any druggist. It consists of twentyfour grains of nitrate of silver, fifteen grains of nitric acid and one ounce of water. This, if the coin be bad, blackens it at once. Mr. Du Bois also gives directions for testing coin by weight—the same as published by ns some few months since —namely, poise a thin strip of wood eight or ten inches long; place a good piece at one end and the suspected one at the other; have a weight of threo grains at hand; if the difference is more than that “decline to receive it.”—if.
