The ocean steamer har pow- er for good sailing in right direction and in safe waters and under good helmesmen and wide awake watchman on the lookout, but indesc:ibable power for evil if under full headway it strikes the breakers, As steam power or elee- tricity or water forces may be stored in boMers, in dynamos, in reservoirs, to be employed all over a town or city, so God sometimes puts in one man enough faith to supply thousands of men wit courage. If a man happens to be thus endowed, let him realize his opportu. nity and improve it. At this time mil. lions of men are a-tremble lest this na- tion make a mistake, and enter upon some policy of government for the isl ands of the sen that will founder the re- public. God will give to a few nicn on both sides of this question faith and courage for all the rest. There are two false positions many are now tak. ing, false as false can be.

Ae- cording as you rise in the seale of heli ness and generosity and consecration, You are worth Sor 100r 80 or 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 ion of 1s Notice, my friend, that this David, warrior, strategist, minstrel, master of blank verse and stone slinger at the giant, whom the soldiers of the text es { timated clear up into the thousandfold of usefulness, on this particular occa- sion staid at home or in his place of temporary residence, Gen. Joab, Gen. Abishai and Gen. Ittal, who commanded the boys in the right wing and left wing and center, did their work bravely and left 25,000 of the Lord's enemies dead on the field, and many of the survivors got entangled in the woods of Ephraim, and mixed up in the bushes, and stum bled over the stumps of trees, and fell into bogs, and were devoured by wild beasts which seized them in the thick ets. But David did his work at home, We all huzza for heroes who have been in battle, and on their return what pro. cesslons we form, and what triumphal arches we spring, and what banquets we spread, and what garlands we wreathe, and what orations we deliver, and what bells we ring, and what can. nonades we fire! But do we do justice to the stay at homes? David, who was worth 10,000 of those who went on* 10 meet the Lord's enemies in the woods of Ephraim that day did his work in re- tirement, Oh, the world ment to give needs a d many of the proper recognit 1 wars the ship's deck or ves and ear kept them tead?

What imbecility in thousands of Americans during our recent Americo-Spaunish war disappointed because the surrender came so soon, and they could not have the advantage of being shot at San Juan hill, or brought down with the yellow fever and carried on a litter ; to transport steamers, already so many floating lazaretitos, instead of thanking God that they got no nearer to the slaughter than Tampa or Chattarooga or the encampment &t their own sate eapital, mad at the government, mad | at God, because they could not get to | the front in time to join the 4,000 corpses that are now being transported from the tropics to the national cemeteries of the United States! Exposure and { daring are admirable when duty calls, | but keep out of peril when nothing practical and useful is to be gained for your family or your Aud or your God. I admiras the David of my text an he suppresses himself and enters the gate of his castle as much as I admire him when with his four fingers and thumb clutched into the grizzly locks of Goliath's head, which he had decapi- fated, and Saul admiringly asks: “Whose son art thou, young man?" and David, blushing with genuine modesty, responds: “Iam the son of thy servant, Jesse, the Bethiehemite” the end of | ENLARGING A BARN.

Not Many Farmers Know How te De Thin Neatly, Expeditionsly and te the Nest Advantage. For cutting up, the carcass of a hog should be laid on the back, upon » strong table. The head should then be cut off close by the ears, and the hinder feet so far below the houghs as not to disfigure the bams, and leave room sufficient for hanging them up; after which the carcass is divided into equal halves, up the middie of the back- bone, with a cleaving knife, and, if necessary, a band-mallet. Then cut the ham from the side by the second joint of the backbone, which will appear on dividing the carcass, and dress the ham by paring a little off the flank, or skinny part, so as to shape it with a half round point, clearing off any top fat which may appear. Next eut off the sharp edge along the backbone with a knife and mallet, and slice off the first rib next the shoulder, where there is a bloody vein, which must be taken ont, since, If it ia left In, that part is apt to spoil. The corners should be squared off when the ham Is cut, The ordinary practice is to cut out the spine or backbone. Some take out the chine and upper parts of the ribs in the first place; indeed. almost every lo- cality han its peculiar mode of proceed. | Ing. ~ Wontern Plowman. add blll | RAILROAD SCHEDULES : Pp ENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BRANCHES In effect on and after May 17, 1807 Yu AND VIA.
