But his gown WAS heavy and held him back.
And the poor old father tried in vain

But his silken gown floated on the tide ;
And no one asked in that blissful spot

As he entered Heaven his suit of grey

And none of the Angels questioned him
About the width of his beaver's brim.

But at last together they entered in.
And now when the river was rolling on
A Presbyterian church went down.
Of women there seemed a wondrous throng.
But the men I could count as they went along.
And concerning the road they could never
agree -
The old or the new way -which it should be.
Nor did for a moment pause to think
That both would lead to the river's brink.
And a sound of murmuringlong and loud
C,Yone ever up from the. moving crowd,

"That is the false, and this is the true."
But the brethren only seemed to speak.
Modest the sisters walked, and meek.
And if ever one of them seemed to say
What troubles she met with on the way,
How she longed to pass to the other side,
Nor feared to cross e'er the swelling tide.
A voice across from the brethren then:
"Let no one speak but the holy men.
For have ye not heard the words of Paull
"Oh. let the women keep silence all !"
1 watched them long in my curious dream,
Till they stood by the borders of the stream,

Cu,err im Cwaranaierri.- Both intell-
ectually and morally, Christ is Christ-
ianity. Christianity is not related to
Him, as a philosophy might be to a phil-
osopher, that is, as a moral or intellect-
ual system thrown off from the mind of
its author, and resting thence forward
only on its own nierita. A philosophy
may thus be severed altogether from the
person of its originator with entire un
punity. Platonic thonght would not
have been damaged if Plato had heen
annihilated. But detach Christianity
from Christ, and it vanishes before your
eyes int.) intellectual vapor. For it is
the essence of Christianity that day by
day, and hour by hour, the Christian
should live in conscious, felt, sustained
relationship to the ever -living Author of
his creed and his life. Christianity is
non-existent apart from Christ; it cen-
tres in, and radiates from Him. It is
not a mere doctrine bequeated by Hint to
a world with which He has ceased to
have any dealings. It perishes outright
when we separate it from the living per-
son of it. Founder. Christ is the quick-
ening spirit of Christen humanity. He
lives ib Christians ; thinks in Christians;
acts through and with Christiana; and is
associated with every movement id the
Christian's deepest life. That life is a
loyal homage of the intellect, of the
heart, and of the will to a Divine King,
with whom will, heart and intellect are in
close and constant communion, and front
whom there flows forth that supply of
light and love, and resolve, that enriches
and enobles the Christian soul!
Wno ARE THE SLANDER MONGERs ? -
It is a singular fact that the woman who
are most ready to slander other wailer)
are those whose own lives cannot bear
strict investigation. (inc would fancy
that a " fellow feeling " would make al
woman "wondrous kind," and the re-
mentlemnce that a certain little story
might be whisepred about lief would be a
check upon her tongue, that she would
say to herself : "What if 1 were thus
spoken oil" But this is not so. Care-
ful observation has convinced me that
while a truly reputable woman detests
immorality, she is always the last to sus -
pea its exietence, and that valuing a
good character as a treasure beyond all
else that the world can give her, she
would never be an accomplice in the
stealing of another woman's fair repute.
I believe, indeed, that a pure and virtu-
ous woman would be very apt, to make
apologies in her own mind for any false
step of.a sister woman; and 'to hold out
a helping hand to one who was honestly
and sincerelystruggling to recover lost
ground. Certainly she would never be the
one to give her the push that would send
her to destruction. It is the woman
whose life is a double one who does this
-the woman who, if all wore known,
would bear a brand upon her forehead.
These are censorious and evil-minded
because they cannot believe others bet-
ter than themselves. These utter slan-
der because they delight to pluck from
the bosoms of other women the jewel
they are conscious that they therseires
wear no more.
BEASTLY DEVNK. -To speak of a man
grossly intoxicated as beastly drunk,
which we are continually doing, is ex-
ceedingly unjust to the lower animals,
which have too much intelligence -not
to say morality- ever to get drunk after
the manner of their higher brothers.
The expression comes from an old notion
that men in their cups display the vicious
qualities , of beats. Thomas Nash,
dramatist and pamphleteer, describes
seven kinds of drunkards: The ape
dounkard, who dances and singe; the
lion drunkard, who is noisy and quarrel-
some ; the swine drunkard, who is drow-
sy and *11; the sheep drunkard, who is
wise in hie own conceit, though unable
to speak; the marten drunkard, who
drinks himself sober again has if the
marten were capable (4 any such per-
formance); the goat drunkard, who is in-
decent and lascivious.; and the fox
drunkard,who is cunning in his inebriety,
and shrewder, like a Rootohman, at a
trade than when entirely tuber. The
proper phrase would lie "humanly
drunk," since drunkenness is c. mfineil

The New York Times thus advises edi-
torially with reference to fruit wintered
for shipment : For the export trade, and
for the first-class home trade as well, ap-
pies should be hand-picked and only per -
:feet fruit 'elected. This work should be
done in the orchard; the barrels taken
in a wagon among the trees, the fruit
picked into baskets, and transferred im-
mediately into the barrels. Sonie select-
ed specimens are first placed in the bar-
rel, which is set head downward in the
wagon, the fruit being packed with the
twig end to the head of the barrel, and
so closely that they cannot move. The
barrel is then filled very carefully, so
that the fruit is not bruised, and is cocoa -
'lousily shaken to settle the contents un-
til the last layer is reached. This is
placed as carefully as the fine layer, and
in the same way, with selected fruit
chosen to tit the barrel closely, but about
half an inch above the groove which re-
ceives the bottom. The lower hoops
are also loosened a little, so that the bot-
tom can be pressed in easily. When
thus tilled the barrel is loosely covered
with the bottom, and when all are filled
the load is 'taken to the barn or store-
house, where it remains a few days for
the apples to sweat, and after this to dry.
It is important that this should be done,
else the apples are covered with mois-
ture when the 'barrel is 'closed. After
the sweating is over and the fruit dry,
which will he in three or four days, if
the barn is well aired, the loose heads
are placed in position and a lever made
for the purpose presses them down firm-
ly into the groove; the hoops are then
driven down and tacked, and the heads
are secured with the usual strips, nailed
with tacks. The heads are branded with
the name of the apple, and grower s
name and residence should also be plain-
ly marked. By thia method of packing
the fruit is held firmly in the barrel, and
cannot he damaged by shaking in transit
to market, where, corning in prime or-
der, it secures the highest prices. Se-
cond-class fruit should be packed by
itself, for if mixed with the first class it
is not raised in value, but on the other
hand, it reduces the value of the better
kind to its own. The second-claas fruit,
however, deserves as careful packing as
the beet; then it will always be more at-
tractive, and will bring as much when
▪ as the best fruit that is badly pack-

In reporting the market prices fur but-

so surely will disease eventually fasten
itself- upon a system deficient in vital en-
ergy, if tonic medication is not resorted
tom time. The necessary tendency of a
weak discharge 4 the functions o"he
body is to disorder its organs.-Invioor-
ation, prompt and through, is the only
safeguard. Norenovant of depleted physical
energy, no restorative of loot P.esh, nerve
power and cheerfulness, has more clearly
demonstrated it. efficacy than Northrop
& Lyman's Quinine Wine. In 'hi. i-e-
paration, associated with the salutary
medicines which fornie ita baais, is pure
sherry wine and certain aromatic constitu-
ents which imparts an agreeable taste to
the article, and gives additional emphasis
to its effects. In cases of general de-
bility and dyspepsia it is invaluable and
the desired effect is, in the vast majority
of cases, remarkably prompt as well aa
decisive. That good natural appetite,
which gives a relish for the ooarsest
fare, is insured by the use of the Quin-
ine Wine, which also confers brain sooth-
ing and laxly refreshng sleep. Fever and
ague and bilious remittent fever, are
dia-
eames to the eradication of which it is
specially adapted; but it should be used
only in the intervals between the seizures.
The far-reaching effects of a good tonic,
in all complaints involving loss of physi-
cal energy, are well understood by physi-
cians, and the comprehensive influence
for good of this preparation upon the
system goes far to bear out the profess-
ional belief in the value of invigomnts

WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. -- A FEW FACTS
FOR THE PEOPLE. -There are but few pre-
parations of medicines which have with-
stood the impartial judgment of the
people for any great length of time. One
of these is Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil.
Read the following and be convinced:
- Thomas Robinson, Farnham Centre
P. 0., writes," I have been afflicted with
rheumatism for the last ten years, and
have tried many remedies without any
relief, until I tried Dr. Thomas' Eclectric
Oil and since then have had no attack of
it. I would recommend it to all." J.
H. Earl, Hotel Keeper, West Shefford,
P. Q., writes, I have been troubled with
liver complaint for several years, and have
tried different medicines with little or no
benefit, until I tried Dr. Thomas' &lee-
tric Oil, which gave me immediate relief,
and I would say that I have used it
since with the besteffect. No one should
be without it I have tried it on my
horses in case 4 cuts, wounds, ate., and
think it is actually as good for horse as
man.- A. Maybes,Merchant, Wark -
worth, writes, " 1 have sold some hun-
dreds of bottles ..f Eclectric thhand it is
prenounced by the public, ...no' .4 the best
medicines they have ever used:. it has
done wonders in healing and relieving
pain, sore threats, et, and is worthy
4 the greatest confidence." Jceeph
Raman, Township of Percy, writes, " 1
was persuaded 10 117 Dr Thomas' Iclec-
clic oil for a lame knee which troubled
me for three or loin years, and I never
found anything like it for curing lame-
ness It is • great public benefit."
EPWILTVO 4 Imitations.- Ask for Dr.
Thomas' Ifehotrie Oil. See that the rig.
