Thanking the Minister.

It is strange how few persons in the average congregation feel called on to thank their pastor tor any sermon of his which brings to them a word of comfort, stimulus nor instruction; They perhaps value his ministrations, but they do not tell him so. Indeed, some of them think it would •Savor of forwardness or (flattery for them to say in so many words that thfjy were helped by the truth he preached to them, and'that they are grateful accordingly. Yet these same persons would teel it no mdre than their simple ’fluty 'to say “ I thank you,” if the man who is their pas tor should direct them on the street to some place which they wanted to Teach, but otithe location of which they were in doubt; or if he should assist them into or out df a crowded street-car,, or point to them Some danger of which they had been Unb'Mpk'vant Why then should they hesitath toibxprcss their than ks.asi freely when lie has-oought earnestly an€ .prayerfully to prepare that; which will direct, or assist, er wam ot -cheet them, and kuas brought it to them iin the hope that dt will prove timely and serviceable ? Many, a pastor feels the'lack of these words o£i thanks mqre thagds. commonly supposed, It is hard for him-to work on month after month in behalf of those whom be’.loves and would feanihelp, without ever being assured that (he has met ‘ their needs or excited their .gratitude. l The verptofibrt of a preacher ito fill hia place acceptably tends to exhaust his! nervous forces, and to bring a. doubt if,* after all,toe. has succeeded in the work toi which he was set. When, therefore, not 1 I one of his (hearers acknowledges help re-; , ceived, or .expresses thanks fair,acquired benefit, the sensitive preacher is (tempted to depression lest his work wua failure. Said a venerable pastor, “I have seen preaching to one people for more than thirty years, .and there are members of my church who have never in all that,time told me that any word I had spoken was ■of service totoom, or that they were grateful for its expediting.” How could-such .an experienceibe .otherwise than depressing • , ' “ But,” it mayfbe said, “ a pastor oqpht rto.go dn faithfully in his appointed work, without'being dependent on warm words for his encouragement.” Of course the ought to; and most pastors do this;; but thattdoes not relieve any hearer of hie duty to speak toting words of thanks and cheer. A mother .ought to be faithful toI even though none of them: ever thank her for her kindness; and a wife, should be true and 'untiring in her hqme duties while her husband fails to say anything inrecogn&ionot her fidelity; but those children and that husband ought to be ashamed of themselves for never thanking her who loves and helps them;, and a church member who does not thank his pastor for speaking wise and fitting words in the pulpit has reason te be heartily ashamed of his thoughtless and neglectful aiience. It is not praise, nor compliment, that a good pastor needs for his encouragement. It is a recognition of his special service to a hearer, with thanks for the timeliness of Lis well-chosen words. He wants to know who has been helped by each particular Shase of truth, that he may the better shape is preaching to the necessities of those beforte him. And he craves the assurance that the message he brings has touched some heart ana made it newly grateful. ILaman stops at the doo* of a friend's house to tal! an item of good news which he thinks will give pleasure there, he does not carw to be told that he delivered it graceful^; but he is glad to be thanked for bringing, the intelligence to those whose hearts it would lighten. Thanks are W uecessartty flattery. The receipt of them will. hardly endanger a clergyman’s spiritual standing. TbeMare warm-hearted and thoughtful persons who have this truth in mind, and who are always prompt to speak of the help they have had from a sermon or a prayer-meeting talk, from a teacher’s instructions, or a superintendent’s lesson review, and to thank whoever has thus ministered tp them, for what they have gained ]

from him. In any church, or school or class, such persons are a power for rood They do much to promote good preaching and good teaching: Even a stranger coming into their field of influence feels the inspiration of their thoughtful and considerate recognitions of faithful service, and Is made glad and made stronger accordingly. The number of such persons ought to be multiplied. It will belt those whohave hitherto refrained from expressing, in such cases, the gratitude they have had in their hearts, will henceforth say plainly to their pastor, or teacher or occasional minister, what words of his have come home to them for their good, and will be free to thank him heartily for each special service by which he has given to them assistance or enjoyment.— Bundiy-Behool Timet.

A Girdle of Fret.

There are men in the world who wear a girdle of fret, as trying as any friar’s to annoy them. They fancy that in ouch experience is to be found the highest fulfillment of religious duty and truest expression of the world’s probation. 'Seme one has said that they procure their tickets and then carry their luggage with them, always encumbered with it, wherever thev go, while there is provided a proper and capacious receptacle for all encumbrances. Oh, what domestic infelicity this spirit of worry occasions! Mary and Martha are always in confusion, never able to comprehend one another. What business impatience and misunderstandings are inspired by this same«contradiction, as it exists in common forms! The assurance needs to be taken home by every one-of us, that worry is the deadly foe of the-Gospel and of common sense. In both the general and the special providences' of God, which are revealed to us on every page of the Bifile, theie are distinct utterances against. this tendency by which-we are all plagued. .But in addition to these promises there positive precepte which make it most evident that anxiety has in it the very nature of sin, and is the mother of misery. However nervous, depressed and despairing may be the tone of anyone, the Lord leaves him no excuse, for there is enough in God’s promise to overbalance all these natural difficulties. In the measure in which tne Christian enjoys his privileges, rises above, the things that are seen, hides himself in. the refuge provided for him, will he be able to voice the confession of Paul, and say. “ None of these things” —however combined and confederate they may be—“.none of these thinge move me.”— Rev. 8. H. Tyng, Jr.

Betting on the Weather.

The “gentle Hindoo” .and ,rmildMohammedan” have, it seems, invented between them a perfectly novel soit of gambling. In one quarter of the interesting City of Ajmer there>is .a house occupied by some soothsayers who are credited by the public with the faculty of foreseeing changes of weather. fTkey are represented to be remarkably in their predictions, owing to long practice in their profession. Outside the residence of those worthy seers a crowd of natives assembles everyday for the purpose of betting on the chance-as a down-pour. After the “straight tip”ihas been purchased from one of the prophets, the buyer commences bellowing, after the manner of “ list men” .cmEnglish racecourses,' that he will take or lay certain odds about the fall of rain “within a given time. The ordinary quotations are sixteen to one against heavy rain coming down within tventy-four hours, eight to one against a light showeshappening, and longer odds in both cases as the time is reduced 'When the weather happens to be exceptionally variable, fee whole street becomesdslocked by an excited throng of fambiers, and the prophets do a smart usiness :in “ straight tips.” .It appears that the seers themselves very often join in the amusement and bath : their respective opinions with the greatest pluck. As the hour approaches for the majority of the bets to be decided, the: more nervous gamblers are heard offering' their chances of winningiat a heavy discount. This allows the weather prophets aan opportunity of “ hedging” at considerable advantage, and it frequently happens that the book of an old seer will show aaertainty of gain whether rain falls or nq£, ‘Could not this method of gambling be acclimatized in England ? The dullness of which CapelCourt complains might possibly be exchanged for. renewed activity if the conifiding British public wereriempted with -oome freshertlures than the ahi “ bulling” .nnd “bearing” operations. Then, too, .our variable .Climate wouliibe the very i thing for the ipsirpose, while . the rnetero- • illogical department might perhaps be induced to furnish “ straight tips” until the sporting prophets .took to forecasting the weather as a regular branch >of their profession. Ajmer.deserves eveiy . ciedit for its ingenuity in.discovering a .perfectly nevz means by which simpleUMki may loss their money. Globe.

Sunstroke.

Tbe sudden acaession of heat has al-( ready produced .one fatal, and more than; one severe, case of sunstroke in the metropolis. Probably riiie affectioe jo designated is not the malady to which toe term coup de eoleil can >be properly applied. The condition brought about is an exaggerated form of the disturbaaoe.occasioned by entering toOfOuddenly tiae ** hot” room of a Turkish bath. The skit, does wot immediately penfarm its function as an evaporating and thasefore cooling surface, and an acute fetaile state of the organism k established, with a disturbed balance of .circulation, and more or less cerebral irritation as a prominent feature of the complaint. Death may suddeely occur at the .outset of the (Complaint, as it has happened in a Turkish bath, where the subject labors under some predi position to apoplexy, or has a weak or diseased heart. It should suffice to point owt the danger and to explain, by way of warning, that al though the degrees of heat registered by the thermoaoeter, or the power of the sun’s rays, do not seem to suggest especial caution, all sudden changes from a low to a high temperature are attended with danger to weak organisms. The avoidance of undue exercise—for example, persistent trotting or cantering up and down the Row—is an -obvious precaution on days marked by a relatively, if not absolutely, high tem perature. We direct attention to this matter because it is obvious the peculiar peril of overheating the body by exertion on the first burst of fine weather is not generally realized. It is forgotten that the increased temperature must be measured by the elevation which has recently taken place, not the number of degrees of heat at present recorded. The registered temperature may be more or leas than tha which occurred a year ago; but its im mediate effects on tne organism will be d termined by the conditions which have | prem ded it and the violence of the change. |—lamest.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

If you go in swimming and get cramps in the legs, turn your toes up toward the knee. Some one says that the movement gives instant relief. One can have the hands in soan-suds, with soft soap, without injury to the skin if the hands are dipped in vinegar or lemon-jnice immediately after. The acid destroys the corrosive effects of the alkali, and makes the hands soft and white. The disinfection of a room is not complete unless the walls have been thoroughly cleansed- If they are papered, the paper must be removed ana the surface beneath carefully scraped and washed. If ■the walls are painted, they should be washed with caustic soda. The ceiling should also be subjected to a similar treatment. — Scientific American. Cabbage Salad.—One fine head of cabbage, half a pint of vinegar, four eggs, two teaspoonsfuls of salt, one of mustard, one tablespoonful ot sugar. Butter, the size of an egg. Put the butter in the vinegar and let them -come to a boil, then pour it on the eggs, -etc. (which have boon well beaten), stirring it briskly to prevent its becoming lumpy. Small teaspoonful celery seed and a little cayenne pepper. Half the above quantity makes sufficient tor a small family. If eggs are scarce use half the quantity, adding a teaspoonful of corn starch or flour. Delicious. Bakbb Cauliblower with Cheese.— Take the green leaves from two large heads of cauliflower; cook the heads Tn salted water, with a small lump of butter; drain them; have ready a buttered baking dish, spread in it a handful of grated cheese and fine crackers, season the califlower inside and outside pretty highly with -salt, pepper and nutmeg; set the heads in a dish, and give them the form of a dome; in another sauce-pan have a pint of bechamel sauce; when boiling, mix with it the yelks of four eggs and two ounces of grated cheese, work it to a firm consistency, boil a moment, spread that sauce over the cauliflower, and smooth with the blade of a knife; sprinkle over the top some grated cheese and fine crackers, and small bits of butter; bake twenty minutes in a warm oven, and serve in the baking dish.— Fruit Recorder. Acorrestondent of an English medical Journal furnishes the following recipe as a new cure for consumption: “ Put a dozen whole lemons in cold water and boil until soft (not too soft); roll and squeeze until the juice is all extracted; sweeten the juice enough to be palatable, then drink. Use as many as a dozen a day. Should they cause pain or looseness of the bowels, lessen the quantity, and use five or six a day until better,tthen begin end use a dozen again. By the ttEti you havemsed five or six dezen.you will begin to gain strength and have an appetite. Oflcourse, as you grow better you need no toise so many. Follow these direckons and we know that you will never regret.it if there is any help -for you. Only keup it up faithfully. We know of two cases where both the patients were given qp by the physicians, and were in the last stages ot consumption, yet both were cured by using lemons according to the directions we have stated. One lady in particular was bedridden and very low; had tried everything that money could procure, but all in vain; when, to please a friend, >sh& was finally persuadad to use the lemons. She began to use them in February, and in April she weighed 140 pounds. -She is a well woman toulay, and likely tollive as long as any of us.”

Farm Intelligently.

Time was, in the history of our country, when, if.a man knew enough to hitch his team te a. plow and go into the field and turn ower; the soil in a rude, half-way sort of manner, and then plant and .sow his crops, he could safely rest in the assurance of an abundant harvest, for the sun and rain and. dwv of heaven would complete the wookhe had begun. But thabday has now past. The rich, virgin soil which was for.eeaturies in preparation, has, particularly, ini the eastern and middle sections of>our country, become exhausted; much of <it, it is needless to add, has been wantonly wasted. And he who would now hawe success in farming must, exercise brain as well as brawn, must<combine skill wife industry, or, in other .words, farm intelligently. “ Book farming,” to use a common expression, . can ino longer be profitably ignored. If, people were endowed .with an intuition ithat taught them how to. do all things eoirectly, there would be no benefit derived from an interchange of ideas, or if a man was endowed with an unusual faculty for learning thingslby observation, and was sc .circumstanced that he could spend a portion of each year traveling, he might be able to make such applications of the knowledge thus obtained as to.compete with men.who farmed on scientific principles. :But as.intuitive knowledge is scarce, and as farmers, as a class, are not; given to troweling,, there remains no better: . way, and indeed no other way of deriving information <on agricultural questions than by readmg books and papers devoted to such questions. It is no more to be expected that a man could farm sueeessfully who difl,not inform himself as to his business, than to expect a merchant, eor a lawyer, or*, physician would succeed tin his pariicatlar calling without infoumang himself as tothe nature of that calling. The man who, (ignorant of the art of navigation, would attempt to guide a vessel across the Atlantic, wou’d be deemed a lunatic or an idist, and yet it is scarcely more inconsistent than Che manner in which hundreds of men al! over our laud are conducting feeir fanms. But the leaven of light and knowledge,in agriculture sat work,and kt us hope it will continue to work .until our far mere, one and aJI, shall beaonae thoroughly waked, up to .the importance of farming intelli-t gently..— Cor. Ohio Farmer.

Large or Small Farms.

Theeg are very many advocates of both large and small farms, but, like many other things, the assertions of interested parties most be taken with a few grains of allowance, and due regard must be had to the governing circumstances which control the individual who hovers over the uncertainty of a decision. ‘‘Ten Acres Enough,” and “ My Farm of Four Acres,” small works purporting to give the details., of the authors’ successful experiences on tie sized places named, had very large sales and quite a host of the readers, especially citizens, at oncj jumped to the conclusion that they saw a way to solve the problem of gaining a good living, and with something beside to lay by for a rainy day, and forthwith started farming on a*small scale, only to be utterly disappointed, in a majority of cases, in the course of a year or two. Farming, whether'on a large or small scale, is a business which requires considerable knowledge, some means to start on, and an ability and willingness to work hard and constantly, especially ou a small farm. If the farm

is a large one, and there has been sufficient means invested to Insure success, most of the owner’s time is required ia directing the labors of others, but it in essentia' to know what should be done, and when and tiow to do it, which can only be learned by experience. A small farm is the best when you intend to devote the most of It to raising vegetables and small fruits; at least, in starting, it is licet to commence on a few acres—and it should, invariably, be near the city, or in close proximity to some large town, for the nearer you are to the consumer the better chance you stand of obtaining the highest prices, other things being duly considered. As your experience enlarges, the size of the farm can be extended proportionately. If raising stock is the desire of the would-be farm purchaser, then we would advise such persons to make a trip into the country during the height of the growing season, say during the latter end of June or early in July, and then select a good-sized farm on which the crops grow finely and the animals show undoubted evidence of good living. Do not purchase a larger farm than you can properly carry on, for we have known some men who paid nearly or quite all of their means for large grain and stock farms, and were then so pressed for means to successfully carry on farming that success was beyond the reach of even an experienced farmer in the same predicament. Very much depends upon the man, however, whether large or small farms will prove most profitable, just the same as some military men are tai better as Division Commanders than they would be as Uommander-in-Chief. Some men can manage a large farm and realize more profit than they could on a small one, while others would make a small farm pay handsome returns and yet be “at sea*.’ on a large one. Success in any branch of business, or in managing large or small business concerns, depends in a great measure upon each man’s capacity tor managing, experience being only secondary to it. If the aoility is wanting, success will never be attained on a farm, whether large or small. — I).Z. Evant, Jr., in Practical Farmer.

Make the Work Light.

There is no fair way to get along in life without work. The commands of God and of necessity join in the same demand tor earnest labor. It is folly for a father to seek to conceal from the boys the tact that there is work to be done. Better let them know it at once, and put them at it with a hearty example. Labor should not be a drudgery, but a pleasure; a boy should love his work, and if he does not his education is wrong or incomplete. There is no man so tired of work as the one who does least of it. It is because he has no appetite for it, and a very small amount gluts the market. Those who do the most, and most effective work, know how to make the work light. Teach the boys that honest labor pays. In our time there are a great many who have taken liberal stock in the theory tliat the man who does not work has a better life than the one who does. A young man who struts around through a neighborhood with good .clothes, for which he is probably in debt, and without a dollar in his pocket, has often been the curse of the He has nothing to do, and seem ato be happy. Thoughtless persons sometimes covet his ease, while they do not know the base shallowness of his brain, or they would shudder in the presence of such, a shadow of humanity. To teach our children that labor has a reward in the composition of conscience, chancier and independence, as well as in dollars and .dimes, is to make their work liaht.

Teach the boys that labor is honorable, and highly respectable in society, if you would make their work easy. Mary a boy plodding along in his labor, clad in coarse clothing, has felt in the presence of refinement .that there was a shame on his coarse garments and sturdy toil. He has studied how to escape it, and as he saw no way of escape his labor became heavy, and toil was a drudgery. Culture and refinement have seemed tp belong to professions and to a life of ease; and honor to those who were separated from the masses. This is unpairionable folly. The man of agricultural or mechanical toil is as near to God as any man of profession and is to .be honored 4is highly, if the same nobleness of character be main tained Honor to the commander on the field of heroism, but none the less to the patriot in the .ranks which cut like flames of fire in the armies of the sod. All honor to him who .both commands and fights. Give the a chance for mental and social culture, if you would make ‘heir work light. them to take time to read the paper.and the hook*; If so, they will do more .and nicer work, and do it cheerfully. Always have a good paper, and see that it is opened, even" in harvest. A short stoiy as a half column will be of cheer through a day’s toil. See that a good history and other books of interest and profit are brought home every once cn a while, It wil 1 make .work light; it will givq the world brightness and beauty that makes toil« pleasure. Every house ought to have a few volumes of poetiy and theology. Have not the children souls to feed as well as bodies ? How can their work be light it their souls are neglected, any more than if they have do food? Theology and poetry are not alone for the preacher or teacher. Has not the child of Che farmer or mechanic as good a right to know of God and His science, and of the finer strains of thought and symphonies of the poet ns another? Who would shut out the beauty of the world, of God, and oi the tenderer emotions of the soul from the homeef the laborer? Let not the parent do it • Let no one do it. Give a little time far recreation. Give a chance foi social end intellectual culture and you make the work light. If you feed th« boy on work all the time, it is very probable he will get the dyspepsia. Bettei givA him a little dessert once in awhile; tee will then take none the less of the former, bitt the latter will give it a relish and maka tZ. go better Religious Telescoge.

The Great Planet Jupiter.

Jupiter was at his brightest on the night of June 19, when he was exactly opposite the sun, and eamfT to the south at midnight. /• - < Jupiter isfthe fifth of the great planets in order off distance from the sun; out earth being’ the third. Mercury is the first, traveling nearest to the sun. Venus is the second, and travels inside the earth's path. Next outside the earth’s pass is that of Mars. Outside his track there come the paths of a number of very small planets traveling in a ring around the sud. More than 170 of these have al ready been discovered; but all these together (beside hundreds more of the family not yet discovered) do not weigh so much as the tenth of our earth. Outside thia family of many congregated plan-

eta, all together scarcely enough to make a single respectable planet, comes Jupiter, outweighing not only all tbete—not only these with our earth, Mare, Venus and Mercury thrown in—but all the ether planets taken together, no less than two and a half times. Jupiter exceeds our earth 300 times in mass or quantity of matter. But, enormous though this excess of mass majl seem, it is small compared with his excess of size; for he exceeds the earth 1,283 times in volume, k is only because he travels so much farther away than either Venus or Msrs that he ap. pears less bright than Venus, and not many times brighter than Mars. For these two planets are utterly insignificant compared with him, both in size and mass. But he travels more than five times farther from the sun than the earth goes, so that even at his nearest and brightest, his distance from us exceeds four times our distance from the sun; whereas, when Mars is at his nearest, his distance from us is not much more than one-third of our distance from the sun.— Prof. R. A. Proctor, in St. Nicholas for July.

I had two surgical operations by the best skill In the State, but received no permanent eure. I suffered great pain at times, and was constantly weakened by a prosuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at different times. Matters ran on thus about seven yean, till May. 1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your office, and talk with you Of the virtue of VEGETINK 1 bcu><ll c * lDed *ome confidence I commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from Its effects: still I persevered, and soon felt It was benefiting me In other respects. Yet I did not see the results I deaired till 1 had taken it faithfully for a little more than a year, when the tNlUcuity In the back wm cured; and for nine mouths I have enjoyed the best of health. I have In that time gained twenty-five pounds Of flesh, being heavier than ever before In my life, and I was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling, as large as my flat, gather on another pan of my I £ook VEGETINE faithfully, and it removed It level with the aunaoe In a month. I think I should have been cured of my main trouble sooner If I bad taken larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects. Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney disease understand that It taxes time to cure chronic diseases; and. if they will patiently take VEGETINE, it will, in my Judgment, cure them. With great obligations I am Yours very truly. G. W. MANSFIELD, Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. VEGETINE. PREPARED BT ”4" H. B. STEVENS, Boston, Mass. Vegetine is Sold by All Druggists.
