by rains : but this is a baa plan, as
the cows have to wade in mud to get
the water, aad whea tbey reach it it
is not fit lor animals to drink. Anoth
er way is to dig cisterns in certain
fields, the water to be conveyed to
them ia a ditch. A farmer whote
laad is underlaid by a rock to a great
depth, so that be cannot dig it well,
eavs : "I first located my building?,
ana was at quite an expense for gut
ters and coeductorp, but I finally con
ceived the idea of locating my cis
terns where I wanted them, and filiinjr
by mean of a short tile ditch. 1
Lave found the plan to work most ad
mirably, and I expect to have a good
cistcrn'available to each field on tbe
farm. This will not require a cistern
for each field, for it can be located so
as to be accessible to two, three, or
-ven four fields, by placing it where
four fields corner, or on the line. Ii
is much cheaper, also, to make one
cistern bolding three hundred barrels,
than two holding one hundred and
fifty barrels each. It is well to locate
the cistern where there is a slight de
pression, or at least a gentle elope,
so that there will be sufficient fall in
your ditch ; fit a tile into the arch as
you brick tbe cistern, then dig your
ditch eighteen inches or two feet
deep, lay two-inch tile and cover it
with six inches of coarse gravel ;
then fill up with the soil, and every
shower that is heavy enough to stop
you from plowing corn will fill your
cistern to the top. The distance you
will need to run tbe ditch will depend
apon tbe character of the soil. I have
a cistern that has been dug for four
years that has butcigLt feet of ditch,
and has furnished an abundant sup
ply of water ; but where the cistern
is located on dry land, I would rec
ommend several rods of drain."
This way of filling a cistern is new,
and requires further proof of its feas
ibility. It is based on tbe fact that
after heavy rains the ground is lull
of water ; andaditcb two feet be
low tbe surface, in which the horse
shoe tile is laid, having a slight de
scent to the cistern, will convey the
water that is in the ground for a space
of 15 feet on each side of the tile to
tbe cistern.
( 1STEUNS.
What a "world" of trouble to a
family is often caused by not having
a cistern. It is not the expense of
building them that causes so many
owners of country bouses to do with
out them, but i; is sheer shiftlcsRness.
A cistern that will bold a supply of
water for a family of eight
or ten people through all drouths, if
not wasted, can be built for ?23 to
$40. Indeed, the cost to a farmer
who digs it out himself, and cements
it, need not be over $15. Think of
tbe waste of time and strength that
many poor farmers' wives, or their
daughters, endure in bringiog water
to wash with from some near by
brook or spring ! Time never fails to
show tbe ead results of this "tog
ging" way to obtain a supply of soft
water. Sooner or later the constita
tionsof these farmers' wives begin to
yield to the pressure of severe labor,
and money enough to build a hun
dred cisterns is often spent in physi
cians' bills, all of which may be sav
ed. Some families get a precarious
supply of rain water from an old
hogshead under the gutter, but this
is a disgrace to any placo where peo
ple live who are able to build a cis
tern. It is an easy thing to construct
one. A man with a pick-axe will
dig one in two days that will held
100 barrels of water, say six feet
deep and seven feet in diameter in
the clear that is, when full, tbe wat
er to be of this measure. It is folly to
build a little cistern, which is liable
to be empty balf tbo lime. Before
commencing to dig one get three bar
rels of cement and three of good
building Band. Then buy or borrow
a mason's trowel. (I'm gtiiug to bave
yoa do the work yourself, or some of
your "boys" supposing you to be a
farmer and "bard up" for money.)
You also use a pick-axe. This is a
good season of the year to dig a cis
tern, bo that you'll not be troubled
with water in it while making it.
Yoa had better make a large one
while yoa are at it, so as always to
have a supply of rain water.

fitted in position when tbe walls of
the cistern are being finished. In
some cases, where the soil is stiff and
clayey, the cement may be plastered
directly against the aides of tbe cis
tern, yet but a trifle caa be saved
over using cobblestones; and I think
it cheapest ia tbe end to use stones
where they are plenty, if not, use
brick. A good cistern is valuable to
a family, and it should be built to last
a lifo-tinie. A cistern should never
bo built in a cellar, as something
might occur to duluga it. Place it as
near where the kitchen pump is as
possible, but do not dig it so near the
house as to endanger tbe foundation.
UL VlNd MORS I. A VI).
Farmer A. called on me one morn
ing in high spirits. "I've got a bar
gain in land," said he. I've bought
Smith's forty acre lot adjoining my
woods got it for $"0 an acre cheap
as dirt don't yoa think so 7"
"It maybe worth what you are to
pay him, if you've got tbe money to
pay lor it."
"Ob, 1 give a mortgage for balf the
purchase money ; but I can make it
effofthe laDd in five years."
".Mr. A. I replied, " I bave al
ways til! now considered that you
were a man of judgment ; but this
Laying more land, when you bad
more than yon could attend to, and
runniag iu debt for it has changed
my opinion. This greed for "more
land" is what is ruining kisuy farm
ers. It will do very well to buy
more laad, if one bas the idle rash to
pay for it, but to mortgage it for balf
the purchase mosey these times is
almost proof of a man's insanity." It
is needless to say that Mr. A. went
borne somwha. soberer than be was
when be called on me. And now,
let mo warn the readers of these
"Topics" against buying land they
. cannot pay for, as the times are nut
in a eouaition to make it saij to do
so. Heal estate bas depreciated in
value steadily since 1S73 all over tbe
country. At forced sales of farms,
and other property within a few
weeks in different States, the prices
realized were only about one-third
their vat le a few years ago. Farm
in it Uudr, as a rule, do not depreci
ate in value ia bard limes, like the
prew-ut, as much as city or village
propertv : 'ut let a farmer try to see
what bi urin will bring in cash un
der i be ha nmer. Probably not one
farm in a hundred thus sold would
sell for one half what tbey cost; con
sequently, it is no time to buy land,
unless you caa pay for it If a far
mer has idle money, he bad better
look around, and find au opportuni
ty to put it out on bond and mort
gage, because the interest be would
receive would be more than be would
make on land, if be already owns as
much as be can cultivate well. A
firmer who thinks tbat farmers gen
erally own too much land says:
"Many years ago, from my own ex
perience, I reached tbe conclusion
that crop failuras were ia the main
the result of tbe neglect of the farm
er. Farmers undertake too much ia
the matter of lb? acres. They are
not able to do everything ia season
and do it properly, Le:au3e tbey un
dertake to cultivate too much. When
I bear a man as I frequently do
with a farm of forty to sixty acres,
complaining that they can't live and
support bis little family, and say
that he must sell out and go where he
can buy more land, I know precisely
what ia tbe matter. Every such ;
man ought to be ashamed of tbe fur- i
ruing Le is doing. No two good,
able-bodied, industrious men can
farm properly, forty acrea of land."
While it is true, that farmers ought
to make a living on forty . or sixty
acres of good land, 1 can see nothing
amiss ia their owning 100 to 200, or
more acres, if tbey bare paid for it

It'- of no use fcr me to try to keep
out ot the beaten track. I did see
Westminster Abbey. Like every
tbia? one ba3 read of and dreamed of
the Abbey disappoints at first. It
a kind of stonecutter's lumber room,
with more bad sculpture in it than
any other bnilding in tbe world, for
our English and American people are
wofuliy wanting in artistic sense.

I could not feel the Abbey as I
wanted to at Bret. I paid my six
pence and saw the chapr.ls. I siw
the beautiful llary of Scots lying in
mirble, not looking at all the devil
hhe was, and tbe crooked-nns-cd
(.i'lcen Klizaltetb looking every inch
tbe wietcn she was. Tben I taw all
the rc6t of the robbi.Mh of monarchy,
god moaamcnts to worthless people
and b3d sculpture over great people.
In some cases both the tomb aad the
man were bad. In my weariness
with these bnddlcd monuments and
tablets, and with tbe set speeches of
the guide working himself into aD en
thusiasm over a lecture Riven to ev
ery party be bad guided for years, I
could not enter into the spirit of tbe
old Abbey. Besides I've a mind to
confess it. I had on new boots. If
ever you go to Westminster don't
wear new boots.
I beard the afternoon service,
which was choral and very fiae. But
there came forward one of the can
ons, a middle-aized man, with a face
in which sturdiness and culture were
blended, and when this canon read
the lessons, especially tha grand per
oration of Job's last speech, I began
to feel tbe Abbey had a siul ia it.
"What is the Lame of the canon
who read the lesson?" 1 asked of a
verger.
"Canon Farrar," he said. This,
tben, was the author of tbe "Life of
Christ" If be could read so intelli
gently and powerfully he could sure
ly preach. I resolved to look for his
came ia the Saturday evening pa
pers. Finding that he was to preach ou
Sunday morning, I walked early to
the Abbey, and was fortunate enough
to secure a seat in the nave. And
now the lofty, perpendicular arches
begaototake bold of mo. As tbe
sweet boy sopranos aud tbe exceed
ingly rich bass aad tenor voices
chaated the service, 1 could feel tbe
influence of the place the oldest
place ot Christian worship in tbe
world, it is said. IIow has tbe Ab
bey stood ia all tbe commotions and
crimes and base deeds of English
history like a rock beaten upon by
each day'a waves, but standing still
the same!
There was a great throng. Al
ready Farrar is coming to be a great
preacher in Eoglaud. Give him ten
or twenty years more and men will
confess tbat England bas no finer
preacher. He carried men by storm.
He preacled on the bndge of sin
and the liberty or nguieousness.
Every word was well chosen. "Zvery
thought was fiae. The delivery was
good for an Englishman. But tbe
real eloquence of the scriina lay
where the highest eloquence always
lies, in the weight of tbe man behind
tbe words. Canoa Farrar has a
pure and lofty soul, eagerly seeking
the Lighest ends. And thea he baa
that sturdy English pluck that knows
no faltering. He set forth admira
bly the contrast betweeo "tbat glori
ous young Oreek," Alexander, drink
ing himself to death in self-indulgence,
and the poor, brave, free old
Socrates, with bis cup of poison.
He pronounced a noble eulogy on
Cromwell and tbe Puritans. It was
a brave thing to do. Right among
all the monumental decencies cf
Westminster Abbey Le praised the
regicide Puritans ia the very Abbey
whose treasures tbe Roundheads had
rifled, and whose tombs they had
broken. Then he depicted tbe wicked
ness of tbe Restoration period, when
England's licentious king took subsi
dies from France. He called Charles
II. a "perjured recreant now sleeping
ia tbo vaults of the Abbey." Then
be contrasted the English with the
French Ilevolatioa, and nobly set
forth to young men the danger of
those vices which are more prevalent
ia England, if possible, than in
America. He spoke Etrongly on the
subject of intemperance. While he
was speaking, quietly, bravely, and
with a certaio felicity of epithet and
phrase tbat moved tbe audience like
electricity, tbo sun struggled through
tbe clouds and shot a golden stream
into the windows of the clerestory
above, which fell away down a hun
dred feet or so through the lof.y
cbancel until it lighted on the preach
er. AU tbe thousand associations of
tbe Abbey rushed upon me at once,
and tears came to my eyes. For now
there was a soul in it it was not
only the burying place of brave men,
but the battlefield of a brave man.
God has not left himself without a
prophet, even in this our day, to
stand in this ancient place and speak
bis word to the people. As I knelt at
Communion under those venerable
and lofty arches I felt Westminster
Abbey was none other tban the bouse
of God.
I went again in the hfiernoon.
There were other preachers in Lon
don, but there was only one Farrar.
The Abbey was fall to cerflowing.
Tbe transcepts were jammed, aisles
and all. The choir, the nave, even
tbe cbancel, were full of people from
tbe four quarters of tbe globe. The
question over which England is now
seething is not Russia or Turkey, but
be confession in tbo Ubarcb of Log
land. Canon Farrar spoke on this
matter with wonderful eloquence for
tbe better part of aa bour. I stood
all tbe time on the bard stone pave
ment, and I could bave stoed twice
as long. He brnsbed aside all inter
vention between man and God. It
was a fresh breeze of nineteenth cen
tury reasonableness sweeping away
ecclesiastical cobwebs. It was like
the voice of one of the old reformers.
Yoa felt that here was a man to
whom conviction was dearer tban
life, a man woo understood that tbe
only salvation for man lies not in
opinions or in churches, but in Christ
like nobleness of character.
These old Cathedral structures are
out quite fit for Protestant worship
that is, for preaching. Tbe voice of
the preacher loses itself in the lofty
vaults or goes fluttering off in a ghest

British North America. He was ac-
isicompaoied by a stalwart French balf-
breed, and had for conveyances two
sledges drawn by eight dogs. At first
the journey was pleasunt enough, and
unattended by much inconvenience ;
but the weather gradually became
colder, and on the afternoon of ths
sixth div they were compelled to halt!
on the bare plain, with no trees or inmost too old to do anything, Laving
other shelter handy. Tbe writr goes! given Lis best days to tbe Govern

It was iibuul u ciock m the eve-
niog when, aficr scooping a bole iu
tbe 8dow, aad building about a min
iature emba&kment of hledges and
baggage, we lay down in our over
coats and caps, with tbe thermometer
showing thirty -one degrees below zero.
Yrt I bad no fear, do thought even,
of freezing to death. Lying down,
as we did, with stiffened limbs and
blistered feet, sleep cime to us by the
sheer force of fatigue.
I did not awake until about eleven
o'clock, when I was aroused by a
sharp blow from tbe balf-brced, Lav-
ic. He told me that it was growing
much colder, and that tbe wind bad
j veered. Hastily arising, we shifted
about, and then crept back under tbe
blankets, Lavie oa the windward side.
I soon fell asleep.
I awoke agaia, as nearly as I caa
judge about half-past twelve o'clock,
by a general consciousness of increas
ing cold I found myself shivering
all over. L pon speaking to my com
panion, I discovered that he was
wide awake ; he bad been unable to
sleep. He told me he bad endeavor
ed to coax tbe sledge dog3 upon the
blanket ; but, having bcea repeatedly
driven from that comfortable posi
tion on previous nights, tbey bad re
fused his overtures. The gale seem
ed to have increased in violence, aud
tbe minute particles of snow interfer
ed uncomfortably with respiration.
The Cold was to intense as to pro
duce a stinging sensation ia the nos
trils and a dryness of tbe throat when
ever tbe head was exposed. I took
tbe thermometer from tbe snow by
my bead, and f.mnd it indicating, as
wp!I as I could make out by tbo un
certain light, forty-four degrees be
low zero. Covering ourselves up as
sauglv as pyi-ible, and lying close to
each other, we talked for a time about
the severity of tbe storm, and its
probable duration ; tbea gradually re
lapsed ioto silence. I recalled feel
ing tbc kin on my arms and legs ; it
was cold to the bones. :uy uanes,
too. wcra cold, and I seemed to feel
their articulation distinctly over ev
ery portion of my body. 1 bey gave
me the impression of a foreign sub
stance which had been introduced
somehow into tbe Cesb, and which
had not as yet been raised to an equal
tempcratare wub the bodily tissues.
Soon I wa3 conscious of growing
colder: my limbs, especially, felt
heavier and chillier. A peculiar sen
sation, as if the Cesb for a quarter of
an inch was frozen solid aad the coa
gcalcient rapidly extending to the
bone, began to creep over me. Tbe
bones themselves at times felt like red
hot iroa bars : tben as suddenly be
came cold again. I noticed, also, an
increased labor in tbe action of the
heart, and could distinguish the puls
ations very easily. At every throb I
seemed to feel the blood strike the end
of tbe veias and arterica in the ex
tremities. This after a time produc
ed a slight dizziness ia tbe bead, aad
a labored respiration.
As the leaden hours went on, the
sensation of surface free.iog, felt be
fore in the arms and legs, extended to
tbe trunk of the body. My thoughts,
hitherto so versatile, grew less con
nected, changing frequently from sub
ject to subject , and finally narrowing
down to my own sufferings. I notic
ed that Lavie spoke to me more fre
quently than before, and shook me
repeatedly. Yet even then I bad ao
thought of danger.
During tbe whole time, covering a
period of two hours or more, I -was
shivering without intermission. I re
peatedly endeavored to control my
nerves, and lie quietly in one position;
but the effort, although determined,
was of no avail ; in a few minutes I
was shaking as violent as before. At
last I noticed that I was becoming
quieter, but the mental suffering was
greater. My only thought now was
to get warm. No earthly friend was
too dear now to be sacrificed for
heat.
After the lapse of an hour, I began
to get warm tbat is, bad the sensa
tion of returning warmth and comtort
Pinching tbe flesh in several places
produced only a numb prickly feeling,
similar to tbat when a leg or arm is
asleep. But I was comfortable and
happy now, because I was warm. I
grew angry with my ompanion be
cause of his unwearied thumps aud
the answers he required to his ques
tions. He bored me. I wanted to
be let ulone. I wanted to lie quite
still and dream. Fully conscious that
if I wertt to sleep I should never
awake, I was perfectly willing, anx
ious, to go to sloop. I even recall
picturing drowsily to myself bow I
should lock ia the morning when I
was dead.
As I grew warmer, I ceased to pay
any attention to the thumpings of my
companion, or to bis questions. I
gathered myself up and lay thinking
aow comfortable 1 was. Pretty soon
I began to doze, then to awake sud
denly, when I received a more severe
blow than usual. I awoke once more
to see the balf-breed sitting up and
bending eagerly over my face and
tben I was dead. Sensation, voli
tion, all intelligence, had left me. Ia
thirty or forty minuti i, aa hour at
most, tbe paralysis would extend
from tbe brain into the spinal system,
stopping tbe function of respiration,
and the living action would cease for
good.
From tbis liviog death I was
aroused by wbateeemed to me a most
unprovoked assault. Tbe powerful
half breed, holding me ia an iron
grasp by the collar, was engaged In
kicking and cuffiDjr my limo body in
the most sav.ige manner. Several
times I became conscious of undergo
ing tbis severe treatment, only to
drop down and full asleep again the
moment he relaxed his bold. At
length, however, be persistently kick
ed and cuffed me until, annoyed be

Hair Vigor,
For restorir g to Graj Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing

Vc iiroservin? tbo
.&X&Q restores faded
fcZ-JfvxnM or may hair
VS5frP original
k 'iJVVS. color, Kith the
y'oss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restoro
the hair whero the follicles nre de
stroyed, or tho glands atrophied and
decayed ; btit such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorons.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so nn
cleanly ami offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
sonic preparations dangerous and inju
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but net harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on tho hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
