The Old Barn.
Rickety, old and crazy,
Shingleless, lacking some doors ;
Bad in the upper story,
Wanting boards in the floors :
Beams strung thick with cobwehl.
Ridgepole yellow and gray,
Hanging in helpless innocence
Over the mows of hay.
How the winds turned around it—
Winds of a stormy day—
Scattering the fragrant hay seed.
Whisking the straws away ;.
Streaming in at the crannies,
Spreading the clover smell,
Changing the dark old granary
Into a flowery dell.
Oh, how I loved the shadows,
That cling to the silent roof,
Day dreams wove with the quiet,
Many a glittering roof ;
I climbed to the highest rafters,
And watched the swallows at ploy,
Admired the knots in the boarding,
And rolled in the billows of hay.
Palace of King couldn't match it,
The Vatican loses its charm,
When placed in my memory's balance.
Beside the old gray barn,
And I'd rather scent the clover.
Piled in the barn's roomy mows,
Than sit in the breath of the highlands,
Poured from Appenine brows I

Boys on the Farm.
There is no pursuit requiring a more
practical and varied knowledge than that
of farming. A man may hoe, plough,
sow and mow to perfection and still re
main an unsuccessful cultivator. The
farmer ought to understand the principles
upon which farm implements are made;
to possess a sufficient knowledge of anato
my and veterinary practice to treat the
ordinary diseases and accidents of his ani
mals, and he should know somewhat of
the insects which inhabit or infest his
premises. A knowledge of chemistry will
bring a knowledge of the nature and
capacity of the various manures, and the
character and wants of his soil. Import
ant points like drainage, sewerage and
irrigation are commonly neglected in the
farm boy's education, and he is left to
learn from experience such necessary in
formation as how to breed cattle for beef,
milk, cheese or butter. The sooner boy.
are educated for farmers as boys are edu
sated for lawyers and doctors, the sooner
we will have a class of intelligent begin
ners in agriculture, able, with a thorough
and extended education, to cope with older
farmers who have ]earned all they know
out of the ground they till, after years of
losses and toil.
Professor Beal, of the Michigan .1:1
ricultural Farm, says:
"If you want to make your son like the
business of the farm place him in respon
sible places, trust him, consult him about
the work he has to do. Let him do part
of the thinking. Give him nearly the
sole care and responsibility of something
on the farm—the fowls, the pigs, some of
the stock, some of the crops or a garden
or a part of it. Suppose he does not do
everything just as you would, advise him.
It is much better that he should fail while
he is yet young and has time to learn un
der your training than not to try to fail
till lie gets into business for himself. By
treating boys in this manner they will
take a greater interest in their work and
be much more likely to succeed when they
start for themselves. Let farming be cos
ducted on thorough business princip!es,
as manufacturing and commerce are, and
it will become more attractive both to
boys and men."
To Make Boys Good Farmers.
To parents who have boys growing up
on the farm, nothing should be neglected
pertaining to farm life, to make them go.tti
farmers. A half way farmer, like an ill
instructed mechanic, or indolent shop
keeper, never does much good.
From the first, boys on the farm should
be induced to take an interest in the farm
in the stock, in the implements, and in all
that pertains to the business. Tell them
all your plans, your successes and failures;
give them a history of your life and what
you did, and how you lived when a boy ;
but do not harp too much on the degener
ate character of young men of the present
age. Praise them when you can, and
encourage them to do better. Let them
dress up in the evening instead of sitting
down in their dirty clothos as is too often
the case. Provide warm and nicely furs
ished sitting rooms with brilliant lights
Thanks to kerosene, our c.un;ry homts
can be as brilliantly lighted as the gar_
lit residences in the city. E , ,criurage th,
neighbors to drop in frequently of even
ings for a social chat. Talk agriculture
rather than politics; speak of the import
ance of large crops, of good stock, of liberal
feeding, and of the advantage of making
animals comfortable. rather than of thy
hard times, low prices and high wages.
Above all, encourage the boys to read
good agricultural papers and books. Pro
vide these without stint; read with them ,
and give them the benefit of your experi
ence and criticism.
Finally, cause them by pleasant sur_
r)undings, to grow day by day more in
live with home and the duties belonging
to their glorious occupation, and there is
n) doubt but what they will stick to the
farm and make farming a great success.
CARE OF CATTLE IN WINTER.—As the
object of every farther should be to push
his young stock forward as fast as the best
food, in proper quantity, will do it, he
must not be content with a ration•of fodder
which they will eat, but one that will
furnish them the nutriment required for
rapid growth. While he should scrupu
lously require his animals to utilize every
thing raised on the farm, lei him combine
the less nutritious with the more nutritious,
so that everything shall count the most in
growth, and in their profit. If a farmer
has little but straw, two quarts of wheat
bran to the bushel of straw will make it
equal to good hay ; and then, to give extra
growth add one quart of cornmeal or corn
and oatmeal mixed to this, and the ani
mals will thrive finely. This ration, two
quarts bran, one quart cornmeal to the
bushel of straw (the bushel of cut straw
weighing about nine pounds) will be found
an excellent ration for pushing forward
young cattle and colts all through the
winter.— Western Christian .fidvonate.

Rogers, Miss Mitford and others. Lady
Byron sent him to her nephew, Mr. Noel,
manager of one of her estates, with whom
Realf was to study agriculture and c.,n
tinue his literary work, the intent being
to make him in the end a sort of superin
tendent over a portion of her farming
property. Alas the young poet peasant
tell in love with Mr. Noel's eldest daughter,
and the girl responded to his deep attach
ment. Of course the social gulf between
the two was too deep to be crossed, and
Realf, after suffering a serious illness, came
to this country to endure, until the day of
his suicide, with kindly heart and manly
courage, a life of singular variety and mis
fortune.

"As a Thief in the Night."
Death, like judgment, comes as a thief.
Death is the king of terrors; often quite
ueprepared for. Death is the ante-chani
her, or the door of the ante chamber of the
judgment hall of Christ. As far as we
are individually concerned, our eternal
state will have been already settled when
we die. There may be after death, and
before the general judgment, increase of
light and peace to the departed faithful
such as is hinted at when St. Paul makes
the day of Christ alone the limit of the
soul's progre.--eive growth. The question
whether we are saved or lost will have
been fixed forever when we die. And,
therefore, to prepare for death is a man's
true and most serious business during his
life, and it is certain that no serious prepa
ration will ever be made by those men who
do not make a business of making it. One
day, from time to time, snatched from the
busiest life, devoted to self-examination,
to prayer, to the review of old resolutions,
to the formation of new resolutions, one
pissed entirely with Jesus Christ, our
crucified Redeeiner, our future judge, but
now, if we will, our helper and our friend,
one day in which that which perishes is
set aside and the eye fixed steadily, reso
lutely on that which does not perish, that
which lasts—one day when we think over
oue by one of that company ofsouls whom
we have known, perhaps loved, here below,
and who have gone on, with what results
we know not, though we may hope or
guess much—who have gone on across
those dark waters to the brink of which
we are ever hastening—oh, depend upon
it, to have a definite rule like this is light ;
it is hope; it is vigor; it is improvement.
"Ye," says the apostle to his Thessalonian
friends, "Ye are not in darkness that that
day should overtake you as a thief." God
grant that it may be thus with us too;
but this must depend upon the use we
make of what remains to us of' time; it
may be of the very few years or months
or weeks or days or hours that do still re
imin of it.— Conan Caythlon.
Did Christ suffer for us ? 'What think
you ? To say No, shuts us out forever
from lope and life, for there is no other
hope, no other life, but through the death
upon the cross. Tu say Yes, involves the
inquiry, to what extent we permit it to
affect us, either in repentance for the sin
whose guilt He bore, or in gratitude to
Him who consented to bear it. 'What is
this cross to us who will one day look
on Him whom we have pierced? Have
we taken our sins to it, and left them
there ? Have we sought peace under its
shadow, and got it. and kept it ? Is that
sorrow our sorrow, because we spiritually
understand it, and personally assent to it,
suffering it to purge our conscience and
transform our life? In a word, have we
accepted from Him His sorrow, and given
Him in exchange our hearts? For in a
most real sense, though in glory, He suf
furs still through the wounds wherewith
sinners wound Him. Every sin has a ten
d,ney to send Him to a second cross; and
to neglect or despise His salvation is to re
peat the shout of the multitude : "Not
this man but }iambus." And fur those
who stand by His Cross and see Him die,
and confess that He died for them, and do
not care for it—shall I tell you the sen
tence that will ring in their hearts through
the coming time ? "Suffered first under
Pontius Pilate, crucified again by me."—
Good Words.

NEVER is the verily Divine nature of
Christianity so profoundly felt as in the
season of affliction. It is then found a
friend indeed ; a powerful, yea an indis
pensable support. Then, too is the Chris
, Ilan volume valued as at no other period.
—Darkness shows us worlds of light we
never saw by day." We recognize the
pertinency, and realize the preciousness of
many a passage which previously bad been
either overlooked or disregarded. It be
eomes like the lamp in a railway carriage,
which burns on,- unprized and unheeded,
so long as day light lasts ; but as soon as
we plunge into a tunnel, or are overtaken
by the shades of night, acquires an imme
diate or special appreciation. Yes, if it
be one of the many woeful effects of sin.
that it has entailed upon man a heritage
..f suffering, it is one of the many benefits
I r Christianity, that it both lightens our
calamities and makes them subsidary to
everlasting consolations. The love of
God, which always springs from a hearty
belief of the gospel, deprives the viper of
its sting, and converts its venom into
medicine. There are verities of revela
tion, proved only in the heat of the fur
nace; verities t hat, . while they impress the
mind, improve the heart. Scripture dis
closes to us a m-st precious secret ; how
to make the heaviest trills comparatively
light, even by looking above and beyond
them. to the never ending blessedness in
store fur the people of God, in a far hap
pier state of existence, that for which we
were created.

The celebrated physician, Dr. Paul
Memeyer, gives the following valuable
suggestions to persons suffering from lung
affections : "The patient must with scru
pulous conscientiousness insist upon
breathing fresh, pure air, and must re
member that the air of closed rooms is
always more or less bad. * * * *
No man, however uncleanly, would drink
muddy, dirty water. A party which oc•
copies a room for hours, breathing the
same air, might be compared to a party
of bathers drinking t h e water in which
they bathe. The patient must keep the
window of his bedroom open. Night air
is fresh air without daylight. In close,
crowded rooms, the patient suffering from
lung complaints breathes consumptively."
By taking thes3 precautions and using
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purzstive Pellets, fully one
half of the cases of lung complaints would
be cured in six months. For cough and
irritation of the lungs do not always indi
cate the presence of consumption although
it may result in that disease, and if con
suniption has already become deeply seat
ed in the system, this is the most efficient
course of treatment that can be pursued
outside of any institution that provides
special facilities for the treatment of this
di-ease. Dr. Pierce's celebrated Invalids'
Hotel is such an institution. Send stamp
for descriptive pamphlet containing also a
complete treatise upon consumption, ex
plaining its causes, nature, and the best
methods of treating it, together with valu
able hints concerning diet, clothing, exer
cise, etc., for consumptives Address
