Our lives should bo as true as snowfields, where our footsteps leave a mark, but not a stain.— [Anon. There is something better than a revival, and that is a Christian life that doesn't need to be reviv- ed .—[Moody. Sometimes, to unkindness and injustice, silence may be softer than even the soft answer which turneth away wrath. "Lean on me" says the philos- opher "and ye shall find restless- ness." "Lean on me" says Christ, "and ye shall find rest."— [Drum- mond. ' This is one of the sad conditions of life,that experience is not trans- mittable. No man will learn from the suffering of another—he must suffer for himself. If Joseph had not been Egypt's prisoner, he bad never been Egypt's governor. The iron chain about his feet ushered in the gold- en chain about his neck. Every step of pure progress brings new courage and skili for the warfare, a better access to God in prayer, a prompter victory over temptation, a more Pteady peace and richer joy. Goodness expands the heart and makes it humble. The larger and the better, the nobler your heart is the more you will be inclined to make allowances for others and the more you will be inclined to say "God be merciful to me a sin- ner." 1) TEMPERANCE NOTES. At the lest town meeting in Highlandville, Maas., it was voted to present the Woman's Christain Temperance i' .1 el with $200 for a reading-roi, u and sub -library. The ladies had made no request of this sort, but were equally pleased and astonished. Among other anti -prohibition bills and amendments lately de- feated in the Iowa Leglislature was an amendment to the License Bill, providing that if any counties decided in favor of license suitable inebriate asylums must be prepar- ed before any saloon licenses could be issued. The Dominion Woman's Chris- tian Temperance Union will hold its third annual convention at Montreal May 28-30. Delegates from all the Provinces are expect- ed. Mise Frances E. Willard,pre- sident of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, will be present and deliver several lectures. An English coroner is credited with the following declaration : 'Gin is the best friend I have; it causes me to hold annually 1,000 more inquests than I otherwise should, ant I have reason to be- lieve that from 10,000 to 15,000 persons die in the metropolis an- nually from the effects ofgin, up- on whom no inquests are held. • If you lose your time, you lose your hopes; and it you lose your hopes you lose your souls. When your souls are het they shall never be ransomed; when your hopes are lost they shall never be recovered; and when your time is Lost it shall never be redeemed. He that is habituated to decep- tions and artiticialties in trifles will try in vain to be true in mat- ters of importance, for truth is a thing of habit rather than of will. You cannot in any given case by auy sudden and ,ingle effort will to be true, if the (habit et veru• lire has been insincere. There is many a Christian who feels the irksomeness of the duties. of life, and feels his spirit revolt- ing from Brent. To get up every morning with a firm reeoive to find pleasure in those duties, and to do them well rend finish the work which (sod has given its to do --.that is to drink Christ's e•up. We too often become impatient for results. We went the reaping immediately after the sowing; but grace tikes tinge in bringing about the harvesting. We must sow in patience beside al I. waters, and at the appointed period conversions and saihcLilicatiens will occur. As God's worker's we can afford to await spiritual -developments. 1 LAUGHING: IN CHhJfCI-L An orang-ot.tang,which had been reared by Father 13arbarossa. was so fond of its master that it would fain accompany him wherever he went, so that when he had to con- duct services at hie church lie was Compelled to lock the animal in a roorn by himself. One Gay, howev- erthe creature got loose and follow- ed its master to chinch, where, un- observed, it mounted on the sound- ing board oc•cr the pulpit until the sermon began. It then crept forward to the edge, and look- ing down at the preacher, be- gan to iw.itate his gestares in such a grotesque fashion that the congregation could not help smiling.Father Barbarossa, in- censed at such unseasonable levity, took his hearers to task for their want of attention. His admoni- tions failed of their effect—the congregation continued to laugh, and the .preacher became more vehement in his denunciations and his gestures, which latter the ape mimitoked with such astonish- ing fidelity that the people broke out into loud and sustained shouts of laughter. At length a friend stepped up li, the pulpit and in- formed the :preacher of the press: ence of a rival. Of course, the cf- fending party was removed from the church by the apparitors, wearing a look of injured inno- •vence,--Volkszeitting. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Our faults are at the bottom of' our pains. Before you give way to anger, try to find a reason for not being angry. Success, in the majority of in- stances, depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed. As the songs of small birds are the most pleasing, so the words of small children may be the most cheering. Angry thoughts canker the mind and dispose it to the worst temper in the world—that of fixed malice and revenge. _1 wise man will do what lie can ; he will not attempt or waste time er hought over what he -ec, 'o be:clearly impossible. 11 J y'ou cvc1' try haw pleasant to f >1 ive :ulyone? This is something wherein tivc can re- ,c.:ble (sod perfectly and easily. Is elle w; -hes to take things easy when (010 is old,it will be rlc- ceesa y ;.) take many things that :tee not ca..y-, when one is youlg. True merriment may be dis- tinguished from false by the fact that it bears reflection; we can think of it with pleasure next day and next week. Anger is the most impotent pas- sion that accompanies the mind of man ; it effects nothing it goes about. and hurts the man who is possessed by it more than, any .others against whom it is dir- ected.. If there were no dark places in our 'fives, we should not value the brightness; if there were no failures we should not care for success ; if we had no disappointments, we should have few hopes ; and with- out :adversity prosperity would lose most of its charm. Obstinacy is a land thing r to live ve ith and to have to submit to but infirmity of purpose is a worse. In the former you have at least a sense of solidity end persistence with the latter you are like a loaf, not borne ori the current, but tos- sed about 011 the foam, and where you will be landed is a secret to which you have not the remotest clue. They who have read about everything are thought to under- stand everything,too; but it is not always se. Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.— We aro of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram our- selves with a great load of collec- t.ions—we must chew them over again.

' Interesting Letter from a high authority The following coming from the pen of one of the most successful Toronto merchant princes is fully worthy of reproduction. Mr Caldicott's name is too well known to need any introduction from the NEW ERA. He is ars ex -pre- sident of the Toronto Board of Trade, and is eminently capable of speaking on the subject of national trade relations. To THE EDITOR:—$as not the time come for the farmers of Can- ada to assert their 'equal rights' and demand the abolition of the 'white slavery.' which under the guise of assisting infant manu- facturers, has gradually grown year by year, and each year mak- ing further and greater demands upon the country for increased taxation to keep in a precarious state of existence some industries that could not last a day but for the heavy taxation the consumers are called upon to submit to 1 When the present so-called 'National Policy' was inaugurated, the country was led to expect that a tariff of from 20 to 25 per cent would satisfy the manufacturers, • but by gradual and continuous ef- forts the taxation has been in- creased year by year, until now we have a tariff varying from 25 to 90 per cent., and averaging about 35 cent., upon the greater part of the imports of the day. Since 1878 the improvements in machinery have greatly reduced the cost of manufactures. The extra duties have not made them- selves as apparent as they other- wise would, hence the farmer so far has not realized the extent to which he is being taxed. Est, could ho exercise his natural free- dom, and buy where he could buy best and sell where he could sell best, he would get as much as he now gets for his own product and buy what he needed both for use in improving his farm and for the use of his family at least 20 per cent. cheaper than he does at present. It is an admitted fact that farm velucs have fallen since 1578 eon- e-Oerably—I think I ,night say 25 per cent. Farm produce has to be sold at its natural price, and to -day that price for wheat,barley, and oats is extremely low, in fact, farmers say, below the cost ofpro- duction, and one can readily un- derstand that under these eiretun- stanees it is a close call between expenditure and income, and that often the farmer cannot properly meet his current expenses. Why then should lie be called upon to keep iri existence as a heavy drag upon his labor and a tremendous burden upon his resources some sickly manufactures that cry in- cessantly for more and more pro- tection 1 I admire patience under certain circumstances -it is a grand quality when it owls in a grand victory of principles; it ceases to be a virtue, and becomes cowardly inactivity, if it permits those whom we love, and who have the first claim upon our ex- ertions, to be denied the proper necessities and comforts of life. The grand record of England's trade with the world, which left a balance of savings of £240,000,000 sterling in i 881), should open the eyes of every one to the fact that if commerce is a great civilizor the freer it is from vexations and iniquitous demands of monopolists or incompetent manufacturers who seek to tax the community for their private benefit, under the misleading guise of 'National Polies',' the better for the civiliza- tion and progress of the world. STAN, CAL DiCOTT. TOrouto, April 23. .111 who have seers a French wedding know of the ho►nely and often familiarly affectionate man- ner in which the officiating priest delivers a little homily to the in tending husband and wife, in which, celibate as he is, he speaks with the authority of deep experi- ence on the duties of bearing and forbearing, on the happiness and privileges of the married state. But all who heard it were aston- ished at the surpassing plainess of 1 speech of the following priestly address: "ft is from the bottom of my heart, Joseph, that I congrat- ulate you upon the great step you are taking. It is indeed sad to see you wasting your youth in life of disgusting drunkenness. Ilow- ever, all is well that ends well; and it pleases me to think that you have said good bye for ever to the wine -shop. As to you, my poor Catherine, I congratulate you heartily that you have been been able, ugly as you are, to find a husband. Never forget that you ought, by an unchange- able sweetness and a devotion without bounds, to try to obtain pardon for your physical imper- fection, for, 1 repeat, you are a real blunder of nature. And now my dear children, I join you in matrimony. Minard'e Liniment lnmberman's friend Rheumatism is causd by :tn acid in the blood ; therefore, external treatment affords no permanent relief.

One of the hastiest marriages on record took place in Staid, Pa. A lady and gentleman, who had been acquainted but one week, and who moved in excellent society. were walking upon the street, the lady showing the lions of the city to the gentleman, who was a stranger. In the course of their ramble they were sles stopped for an instant Ihy a welding party, who were alighting at a church door. th.e lady proposed to go in and sen the affair through. The gentle- man consented, and together they stood till the ceremony was over. A t this instant the gentleman tool: the ladies hand in his, led her un- resistingly to the altar, without speaking a word, and )resented her before the astonished minister with a request that they should be made one. In ten minutes the knot was lied, and there is no reasonto believe ego that either have in the ten years they have been joined, seen cause to regret the snddeness of the idea. ,COUGH NO MORE.

The following story-, which has never before appeared in print, is told about the editor of one of Maine's most prominent dailies: When a small boy,his father, now one of the most prominent men in the State was then running a print- ing oflico and publishinga weekly paper in one of the largest towns in Kennebec County. One day the advance agent of a show carne along and ordered some rosters printed upon cotton cloth. His order was filled, but for some rea- son he neglected to call for them and they were thus left on the printer's hands. The printer's wife ran across them, and as cloth was then high, she took the cloth home and used it to line a pai r of pants she was then making for the editor above mentioned,then a boy about ten years of age. As the months rolled by the pantaloons grew threadbare, and at school one day he accidentally tore the scat out, leaving about one foot of lining exposed to view. This in itself would have made the boys smile, but they laughed till the tears came when they observ- ed the following words standing out boldly upon the lining in large typo: 'Door's open at 7.30. Perform- ance begins at 8.' It is needless to state that the boy was sent home to his mother in tears.—Glooe. A NOVEL FIRE EXTIN- G UISHi,R. Self-possession and a ready wit are always valuable qualities, but sel(Ionl more so, perhaps, than when one's house is on fire. -An exchange recounts the following example:— A householder discovered that 0 spark from a neighoring conflag- ration had fallen upon his own slightly slanting roof, and had set fire to the shingles. All the buck- ets and tubs had gone to the big fire, and there was no one to send after them, even had there been any time for such a measure; but the man was equal to the emerg- ency. Ile rushed to a pond near by. and deliberately sat down in the water. To 1'1111 np stairs and out upon the 1 t ( 001' was the w0 'I' I.of: 0 moment, and then he "sat on” the fire in more senses than one, and saved the house. e • A despatch to the Montreal Witness from Kingston dates that a money lender in that city has three farms on his hands, thrown upon him by owners who despaired of paying principal and interest and making a living as well for the coming year. This is a fair sample of the 'prosperity' which exists among the farmers of the district which Sir John Macdonald represents in the cabinet. Trade restriction and high taxation have burdened our farmers with mortgages,while the prices of their products arc on the decline. As a man named I3eamish was employed in feeding a straw crit- ter at the Northumberland paper mills, Campbollford, his hand was caught in some wire with which the straw was bound and drawn into the cutter, being mangled as it passed to at out six inches above the wrist.

Minard's Liniment cares target in cows The terrible destruction to crops caused by the gophers in the North West last summer has a- wakened the farmers to the nec- essity of providing some means of' exterminating this pest. A move- ment is on foot among the farmers for the purpose of procuring pure strychnine at wholesale ratos.— Experience has taught the farm- ers that as soon as the gophers make their appearance in the spring is the proper time to com- mence this deadly work, as they multiply very rapidly. Strychnine is such a dangerous poison that the promiscuous use of it entails much danger, and whilst it may be the quickest way of killing gophers, carelessness in its 01e may bo attended with serious re- sults. It is estimated mat in some districts fully seventy-five per cent of the crops is destroyed by gophers, especially whore the soil is sandy and easily burrowed. If some effectual means were pro- vided to abate this nuisance the farmer of the North-west would be greatly benefitted.
