A BOY'S uettutON.
If a boy is a lover of the Lord
Jesus Christ, though he can't lead
a prayer meeting, or be a church
officer or a preacher, he can be a
godly boy, in a boy's place. He
ought not to be too solemn or too
quiet for a boy. He need not
cease to be a boy because he is a
Christian. Ho ought to run,
jump, play, climb and yell like a
real boy. But in it all he ought
to be free from vulgarity and pro-
fanity:, --:Ha oigh't; •-to-esehew -to-
' bacco -in every form; -and have a
horror of intoxicating drinks. Ho
ought to be peaceable, gentle, mer-
ciful and generous. He ought to
take the part of small boys against
large ones. He ought to discour-
age fighting. Ho ought to refuse
to bo a party of mischief, to pro-
secution, to deceit. And, above
all things,heought now and again
to show his colors. He need not
always be interrupting a game to
say that be is a Christian, but he
ought not to be ashamed to say
that 'he refuses to do 'something
because he fears God dr is a Chris-
tian. He ought to take no part
in the ridicule of sacred things,
but meet the ridicule of others
with a bold statement that for the
things of God he has the deepest
reverence.
GOD' IS NOT A MERCHANT,
For by grace are ye saved
through faith, and that not of
yourselves ; it is the gift of God.'
Once there was a poor' woman
standing before the window of a
royal conservatory, which looked
into the -public street. It was the
dead of winter, and no flowers
were in the garden, and no leaves
upon the trees. But in. the hot-
house a splendid bunch of grapes
hung from. the glass ceiling, bask-
ing the bright winter sun, and the
poor woman gazed on them until
the water came into her •nouth,
and sho;sighed : ' Oh, I wish I
could take it to my, sick darling !'
She went 'home and sat down to
'rhert'spinning wheel, and wrought
until she had earned half acrown.
She then went to the king's gar-
dener; and offered the sum for a
bunch of grapes, but the gardener
received her unkindly, and told
her not to come again. She re-
turned. home, and looked around
her little cottage to see whether
there was anything she could dis-
pense with. • It was a severe • win-
ter, yet she thought she could do
without a blanket for a week or
two ;. so she pawned it for half a
crown, and went to the king's
gardener and now offered hien 10
shillings: But the gardener scold-
ed her, and took her by the arm
• rather roughly arid thrust her out.
It just .happened, however, that
the king's daughter was near at
hand, and when she heard the
angry words of the gardener and
.the crying woman, she came up
and inquired the matter. When
the poor woman had told her
story, tho noble princess said, with
a kind smile, ' My dear woman,
you are mistaken s my father is
not a merchant but a `king; his.
business is not to sell, but to give;'
whereupon she plucked the bunch
from the vine, and gently drop -
ed it into the 'old woman's apron.
So the woman obtained as.a ft'ee
gift that which the labor of many
days and nights 'had been unable
to procure. . The salvation of the
soul is the greatest thing you can
desire. But you cannot buy it
with all the riches of the world,
with all the prayers you can pray:,
with all the alms you (sin give;
with all the useful works you could
perforin during a life as long ars
. that of Methuselah. The fact is,
you soul's salvation is in the
hands of a Icing, and not of a mer-
chant. If you receive it at all, it
must.be as a gift, for you never
can buy it.

because she saw that he had ceased
to love her. Her beauty had fad-
ed, her former •high spirits had
given place to ,a dull lassitude.
What had caused this change ?
Functional derangement ; she was
suffering from those ailments
peculiar to her sex. And so their
two young lives drifted apart.
How needless, how cruel ! Had
she taken Th• Tierce's Favorite
Prescription she might have been
restored to health and happiness:

POULTRY PICKINGS.
Ducklings must hays shade as
well as water.
Quite likely the poultry yard
should be plowed again and seeded
to Oats.
Cut green cloyer fine and feed it
to all fowls confined in yards.
Splendid !
The roofs should not leak, even
in summer. Dampness, com-
bined with heat,breed disease and
vermin.
A few broods of chicks colonized
in the sweet potato patch will
keep the bugs in subjection and do
the chicks good.
Pour boiling water on wheat
and let it soak over night. Give
the broilers in the fattening coop
an occasional feed of it.
The clover stubble makes the
best kind of a chicken pasture.
Put a few coops in the fence corn-
ers, if it is not too far from the
ho use.
Any chick that gets a good start
in life in the month of Juna will
be well developed by New Years.
This month is especially faysrablo
for the batching of the smaller
laying breeds.
If you notice at, young bird in
any brood that is especially nice,
do not kill it, keep it awhile long-
er to see what kind of a fowl it
will make. The very bust is none
too good to keep for breeding.
- •4f -what -use-is-it Vatted', a `lot Of -
old coc'k's after the breeding season
is over. If you can't sell them,
better give them away. It rarely
pays to keep male birds of the
larger breeds over the second
season. •
•That the older breeds are able
to forage for themselves is not a
good reason why they should be
neglected. Chicks should be kept
growing right along without a
break, and to-do this they require
careful -and generous feeding at all
times.
Have you tried our method of
keeping lice out of the hens' nests?
It is simplya handful of air -slaked
limo with a few drops of carbolic
acid in it, scattered through the
hay. No time need be wasted
whitewashing boxes, burning hay
or painting with kerosene.
We have in use now water ves-
sels purchased in 1882. They are
cheap, 'ten -quart wooden pails,
sawed down three inches on one
side so the fowls can reach over
and drink. Of course, they have
been sheltered from the sun and
kept full ofwater while in use,and
when not in actual service stored
in the collar.
• We are no prophet. The good
prices for eggs that we predicted
have not prevailed. The market
has bean full since the beginning
of the year, and lower prices have
not been known for a Iong while.

Philadelphia opened at 50 cents.

garded as low when the cheapness

AN IRRESISTIBLE: BAIT FOR
RATS.
According to a Washington cor-
respondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, an interest.
ing, not to say value le discovery
has been made by •Oat. Wcedin,
in charge of the animals at the
Zoo. The building is infested by -
.tats, and bow to get rid of them
has long been a perplexing ques-
tion. Traps were used, but noth-
ing would tempt the rodents to
enter.. In a ...storeroom dra«cr
was placed a quantity of sunflower
seeds, used as food for some of the
birds. Into this drawer the rats
gnawed their way, a fact which
led the Captain to experiment
with them for bait in the traps.
The result was that the rats can't
be kept out. A trap which al
pears crowded with s 'r or eight
rats is found some mornings to
hold fifteen. They are' turned in-
to. the cages containing weasels
and minks. The latter will kill a
rat absolutely almost before. one
can see it, so rapid'are its mov,
ments. The weasels are a trifle
slowcr;bnt none of the rats escape
them.
FEASTiNG ON BOAST DOG.
,-boast puppy- was served up to
several. of the employees of the
Edison Lamp Company' in Ilarri-
son, N..I., and those who ate it
declared it was palatable tend de-
licious. J. Trumbull Marshall,an
employee, who lives in Metuchen,
brought in his dinner .basket on
Saturday some roasted meat which
he offered several of his com-
panions. They ate it and de-
clared it excellent in taste
and flavor. IIe then informed
them that it was roast dog. Sev-
eral weeks ago Marshall was pre-
sented with a Newfoundland
puppy by William Masterson, of
Harrison. Ile took the dog home
and fed it, and the idea entered
intq his head that roast dog would
make a good meal. 11Ir Marshall
explained yesterday that he roast-
ed the dog only by way of experi-
ment. • It was an idea that he had
long entertained that canine flesh
roasted would make a nice local.
So he carried his idea into execu-
tion. Marshall is an intelligent
man, and says it is mere prejudice
that keeps dog meat from 1ecom-
log popular.

"GOOD BYE 1"
SCENES WHEN A B10 OCEAN STEAM-
ER. LEAVES FOR EUROPE.
Every passenger who sails, n
matter whether his quarters b
in the steerage or first cabin, i
accompanied to the steamer by
from one to a dozen friends
When the fact that some vessel
carry- 800 saloon passengers i
taken into consideration, one can
form some idea of the number 'o
persons who throng the piers on
sailing days.
While the.passengers aro bid-
ding their friends good-bye car-
riages containing more voyagers
are dashing . up to the steamer,
while baggage is being unloaded,
and the vessel's crew is engaged
in a hundred and one different
pursuits to have everything ready
by the time the steamer is to de-
part.
The last freight to go on'bua"rl
is the mail, which is he iste i up i ,
bags on a wide skid. Then the
bell rings for all visitors to go
ashore. This is the signal for a
grand rush down the gang planks
to the pier, In a few minutes all
who are not passengers are sup-
sipodseed toand be off the .vesselask.✓t'za
But
generally just as„tho gang planks
are about to be taken away, an
individual rushes to the steamer's
fln>)txet111y -bo
al}owed to go ashore. His re-
quest is granted and he slowly*,
saunters down to the pier, while
the longshoremen in charge of
the. lank express themselves very
forcibly, but, not loud enoutill to
be beard. _
Spectators on the piers are now
nabled to get a clear view of the
ide of tho passengers as they
tend on the side of the vessel
earest the shore. There stands
young man who carries all the
.aggage bo possesses in a little
ag one would think hardly: large
nough to hold a toilet set. His
boulders, perhaps, touch those of
ersons who are travelling with a
ozen trunks. Friends recognize
friends on the steamer, exclama-
ions of "Good-bye" fill the air
ntil everybody seems to be shout -
ng the same words. Then as
he tugs slowly draw the ocean
aces out into the stream these
xelamations are renewed, while
landkerchiefs flutter in the air
ntil they resemble an immense
white sheet, which extends from
he bo* to the stern of the vessel.
Once out in• the stream, the
ugs cast loose from the steamer
nd she begins her journey down
he bay and across the big pond.
he spectators who have crowded
he sides of the Pier now rush to
he front and wave their hats and
andkerchiefs at their friends on
he receding steamer until- the
ferryboats hide it from sight.-
ecasionally glimpses .of it are
een, but soon it can ne longer bo
distinguished.
The.spectatot's who had been.
shouting thetnselves hoarse return
to their normal condition and pre-
pare to leave the pier. Many of
them, and especially men who
have kissed male friends good-bye,
aro reminded of their actions and
feel slightly ashamed of them-
selves. Then the hackmen get
in their work on the departing
spectators, and in a short time
the pica', which had resounded
with the rumble of wheels and
the shouts of men, is silent as
.death.
