The, teachiegof the holy scripture takes it for granted that an intimate ee- lationship eiists , between the laws of the natural and of the 'scriptural exotica The various sacred ,writers read the eternal will of the Father in the simp- lest laws of nature. The prophet Hos- ea is no exception to the rule. He also, On this analogy, frames his ,a.dyin,a as giVeil in the text, which 'harmonizes so beautifully with the harvest tante. The soil Upon which God's husbandry Is ahvays working is the heart and con- ec:ence of mon. The divine messages, the efforts, the means of grace, are ia many showers of heavenly dew to soften and penetrate hardened hearts. The prophete, telleire jhea .We.sleetra, to Seen a harveet of ' jortind -peace 'the -great Jaws of God's kingdom must be sub served. Ile •emphaaizes tke fallow ground as that upon which the fertil- izing dew a of divine grace have ° MANY TIMES RESTED, and, where the good seed of his word is scattered daily. We must net mistake the prophet's meaning ,whert he speaks of "fallova ground, ' He does not intend tosay that a harvest of evil is reaped -or that the ground was already preoccupied. He means that the soil has produced no- thing. God's mestages, warnings and providences have been sent in vain. The seed scattered broadcast by prophets, Vise men and scribes has fallen where it could take no root. It had not been giver' a chance even to germinate, for the soil was hard, uatilled, barren.

Planning the' Meals. ---Fully half th drudgery of planning "twentyone meale a week" may be saved by plenrfing ali of thein at once at the beginning of the Week. Take acIvantege of a leisure hour and write down little menus for each one of the seven days-. • You will find yourself getting more variety into ihe meals and unconsciously thinking up new combinations. Furnish Carefully.—When furnishing don't get anything except ,what there is a positive need for, and tea everything you get to see if it 'fulfils that purpose Perfectly. Make a point of having eery chair comfortable. There's 'nothing more astonishing than the number...of Un- comfortable chairs which are made every year, soathat 'ordering chairs at random is a mistake. Watch the grotip- ing of furniture as carefully as you watch the choice of it..

Hence the prophet's story appears to ue to break up elie fallow grotind. The labor may be difilenit, it may cause toil and anguish, especially to those who have long neglected the work; but it .must be piewed up and harrowed if we are to sow to ourselves in righteous- ness' that we MAY REAP IN MERCY. No matter how long we may have permitted the soil of the soul to lie fal; low and barren, the task of breaking it tip is not impossible if we remember thf4 "it is God whOweaketh in_345.bOth 'Co will ' and- to ao.' It i eertainlY 'corn - mon sense to work at it now with d1' vine assistance than later on "to fall into the hands of the living God." When the work is left, to God exPeri- ence shows that to heal lovingly He strikes heavily. The departing sinner knows too well how frightful and wear- Iserneeas .God's process of breaking up the fallow greuncl or a 'hardened' heart, hi the last moments of life the dreadful effects of God's work is often noted, and the dying soul realizes "it is indeed time Lo seek the Lord."' ' It is the part of wisdom to take the time now. The past may have been careless, lukewarm or indifferent, but the time is now at hand to reap in mercy-. "Seek Him while He may be found; work with Him; help to harvest .the seed he has sown, and then in the. great granaries of eternal life the Treat ef our labors,will rest with the harvest- ing of' all work with God."

Their hunting grounds are in the mountainswhere the Swiss, Italian, and Austrian frontiers nearly touch at the Stelvio Pass.

There now remain of the family only the father and m,other and the, two daughters, who are the heroines of this latest capon. At present the father is suffering from a ritle shot through the elbow, which be 'describe as an "accident." He was unable to get a large cargo of tobacco across the Swiss frontier Into Italy, and his daughters determined to smuggle the contraband themselves. , They started, but near the surumit'of the pass were discovered by two cus- toms officials. 'While the elder girl pro- cceded on the journey the younger one kept the officers at bay with a rifle from a sheltered position. .The men replied, and the fusilade continued until, the sis- ter with the tobacco had got a good half hour's start. The younger sister than disappeared, arid returned home by making a long detour in the mountains, every path of which she knows. -- PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM.
