An army of arcttc blasts, with Icicles for bayonets and hailstone* for shot, and commanded by voice of tempest, marched after them. The flying artil lery of the heavens In pursuit. The troops at nightfall would gather into ctrciea and huddle themselves together tor warmth: but when the dny broke they rose not, for they were dead, and the ravens came for tbelr morning meal of corps**. The way was strewn with 'the rich stuffs of the east, brought as booty from the Russian capital. An invisible power seised one hundred thousand men and hurled them dead Into the snow-drifts, and on the bard snrfad of the chill rivers, and Into the nutwi of the dogs that had followed them from Moscow. The freezing hor ror which has appalled history was proof to all ages that It Is a vain thing for any earthly power to accept the challenge of my text: “Who could •tend before his cold?” In the middle of December, 1777, at Valley •forge, eleven thousand troops were, with frosted ears and frosted bands and frosted feet, without shoes, with out blankets, lying on the white pillow of the snow bank. As during •or civil war the cry was: “On to Richmond!” when the troops were not ready to march, so in the revolutionary mmr there was a demand for wintry campaign until Washington lost bis equilibrium and wrote emphatically: **1 aaure those gentlemen It is easy wnough seated by a good fireside and in comfortable homes to draw out cam paigns for the American army; but I toll them It is not so easy to lie on a bilk hillside, without blankets and without shoes.” Oh, the frigid horrors that gathered around the American army In the winter of 1777! Valley Forge was one of the tragedies of the century. Benumbed, senseless, dead! “Who can stand before his cold?” “Not we,” say the frozen lips of Sir John Franklin and bla men, dying in Arctic wrnlnintlnn “Not we.” answer Achwatka and his men. falling back from the fortresses of ice which they had tried In vain to capture. "Not we," say the abandoned and crushed decks of the Intrepid, the Resistance and the Jeannette. "Not we," say the proces sion of American martyrs returned home for American sepulture, De Long and bis men. The highest pillars of the earth are pillars of ice; Mont Blanc, Jungfrau, the Matterhorn. The largest galleries of the world are galleries of ice. Some of the mighty rivers much of the Tear are in captivity of ice. The great est sculptorsoftbe ages are the glaciers, with arm and band and chisel and ham mer of ice. The cold is imperial and has a crown of glittering crystal and Is ' seated on a throne of ice, with footstool of ice and scepter of ice. Who can tell the sufferings of the winter of 1433, •when all the birds of Germany per ished? Or the winter of 1658 in En gland. when the stages rolled on the Thames, and temporary houses of mer chandise were built ou the ice? Or the winter of 1821 In America, when New York harbor waa frosen over and the ’heaviest teams crossed on the ice to Ataten Island? Then come down to our own winters when there have been so many wrapping themselves In furs, or gathering themselves around fires, or thrashing their arms about them to re vive circulation ths millions of tbe temperate and the arctic tones who are compelled to confess.

Nearly all the pictures of Martha Washington represent her In courtly dreas as bowed to by foreign embassadors; but Mrs. Kirkland, la bar Intereating book, gives a more Inspir ing portrait of Martha Washington. 8be comes forth from her husband's hut In the encampment, the hut eliteea feet long by fourteen feet wide she comes forth from that hut to nurse the sick, to sew the patched garments, to console the soldiers dying of the cold. That Is a better picture of Martha Washington. Hundreds of garments, hundreds of tons of coal, hundreds of glaziers at broken window-washes, hundreds of whole-souled men and women, are nec essary to warm the wintry weather. What are we doing to alleviate the con dition of those not so fortunate as we? Know ye not, my friends, there are hundreds of thousands of people who cannot stand before his cold? It Is useless to preach to bare feet, and to empty stomachs, and to gaunt visages. Christ gave the world a lesson In com mon sense when, before preaching the Oospel to the multitude In the wilder ness, he gave them » good dinner. When I was a lad I remember seeing two rough woodcuts, but they made more Impression upon me than any pic tures that I have ever seen. They were on opposite pages. The one woodcut represented the coming of the snow In winter, and a lad looking out at the door of a great mansion, and he was all wrapped In furs and his cheeks were ruddy, and with glowing countenance be shouted: “It snows! It snows!" On the nezt page was a miserable tene ment, and the door wan open, and a child, wan and tick, and ragged and wretched, was looking out, and he said: “Oh! My Ood. It snows!" The winter of gladness or of grief; according to our circumstances. But, my friends, there is more than one way of warming up this cold world, for It Is a cold world in more respecta than one, and I am here to consult with you as to the best way of warming up the world. I want to have a great heater Introduced Into all your churches and all your bom®* j throughout the world. It Is a heater of i divine patent. It has many pipes with which to conduct heat; and It has a door In which to throw the fuel. On-e get this heater Introduced, and It will j turn the arctic zone Into the temper- i ate, and tbe temperate into the tropics. J It is the powerful heater. It is the glo- | rlous furnace of Christian sympathy. | Tbe question ought to be, instead of bow much beat can we absorb? how much heat can we throw out? Tbero i are men who go through the world float- \ Ing icebergs. They freeze everybody with their forbidding look. The hand j with which they shake yours is as cold I as the paw of a polar bear. If they i float into a religious meeting, the tem- { perature drops from eighty above to ten degrees below zero. There are Icicles banging from their eyebrows. Recently an engineer in the south west, on a locomotive, saw a train com ing with which he must collide. He resolved to stand at hlB post and slow up the train until the last minute, for there were passengers behind. The en gineer said to the fireman, “Jump! one man is enough on this engine! jump!” Tbe fireman jumped and was saved. The crash came. The engineer died at hts post. How many men like that engineer would it take to warm this cold world up? A vessel struck on a rocky Island. The passengers and the crew were without food, and a sailor had a shell-fish under his coat. He was saving It for his last morsel. Ho heard a little child cry to her mother, "Oh, mother. I'm so hungry, give me something to eat—I am so hungry!” The sailor took the sbell-Osh from un der his coat and said, “Here, take that." How many men like that sailor would it take to warm the cold world up? Xerxes fleeing from his enemy got on board a boat. A great many Persians leaped into the same boat and the boat was sinking. Some one said: “Are you not willing to make a sacrifice for your king?” and a majority of those who were in the boat leaped overboard and drowned to save their king. How many men like that would It take to warm up this cold world? Elisabeth Fry went into the horrors of Newgate prison, and she turned the imprecation and the obacenlty and the filth Into prayer and repentance and a reformed life. The Slaters of Charity, in 1803. on northern and southern battlefields, came to boys In blue and gray while they were bleeding to death.

He will keep on warming the earth until the Tropic will drlv* away the Arctic and the Antartlc.

It wag this Christ who warmed the chilled dlectplee wbeu they had nc food by giving them plenty to eat, and who in the tomb of I^xarue shattered the shackles until the broken llnka ol the chain of death rattled Into the dark est crypt of the mausoleum. In hl« genial presence the girl who had fallen Into the Ore and water is healed of the catalepsy, and the withered arm takes muscular, healthy action, and the ear that could not hear an avalanche catches a leaf's rustle, and the tongue that could not articulate trills a quat rain. and the blind eye was relumed, and Christ. Instead of staying three days and tbr<-» nighta In the sepulchre, as was supposed, as soon as the worldly curtain of observation was dropped be gan the exploration of all the under ground passages of earth and sea. wherever a Christian’s grave may after awhile be, and started a light of Chris tian hope, resurrection hope, which shall not go out until the last cerement Is taken ofT and the last mausoleum breaks open. Notwithstanding all the modern In ventions for heating, I tell you there is nothing ao full of geniality and social Its/ am coimtrv place. The neighbors were to come In for a winter evening of sodality. In the middle of the afternoon. In the best room In the bouse, some one brought In a great backlog with great strain and put It down on the back of the hearth. Then the lighter wood was put on. armful after armful. Then a shovel of coals was taken from another room and put under the dry pile, and the kindling began, and the crackling, and It rose until it became a roaring flame, which filled all the room with geniality and was reflected from the family pictures on the wall. Then the neignbors came in two by two. They sat down, their faces to the Are, which ever and anon was stirred with tongs and readjusted on the andirons, and there were such times of rustic repartee, and story-telling, and mirth as the black stove and the blind register never dreamed of. Meanwhile the table was being spread, and so fair was the cloth and so clean was the cutlery, they glis ten and glisten In our minds to-day. And then the best luxury of orchard and farmyard was roasted and prepared for the table, to meet the appetites sharpened by the cold ride. Oh! my friends, the Church of Jesus Christ is the world's fireplace, and the woods arc from the cedars of l^banon, and the fires are fires of love, and with the sil ver tongs of the altar we stir the flame and the light Is reflected from all the family pictures on the wall—pictures of those who were here and are gone now. Oh! come up close to the fireplace. Have your worn face transfigured in the light. Put your cold feet, weary of t.he Journey, close up to the blessed con flagration. Chilled through with trou ble and disappointment, come close up until you oan get warm clear through. Exchange experience, talk over the har vests gathered, tell all the Gospel news. Meanwhile the table is being spread. On It, bread of life. On it, grapes of Eshcol. On it, new wine from the kingdom. On it, a thousand luxuries celestial. Hark, as a wounded hand raps on the table, and a tender voice comes through saying: "Come, for all things are now ready. Eat. on, mends! drink, yea, drink abundantly, oh, be lovel!” My friends, that is the way tbe cold world is going to be warmed up, by the great Gospel fireplace. All nations will come in and sit down at the banquet. While I was musing, the fire burned. "Come In out of the cold, come In out of the cold!" __ __ FACTS TERSELY TOLD.

A "WelMilMtlnMl" Poultry Kaleor. For about thirty years I have raised poultry, for twenty-three years as an adjunct on the farm, and for the re maining seven years I have been rais ing them In the city suburbs. On the farm I did not confine myself to any special breed, but usually kept well bred males. Dark Brahmas, Partridge Cochins. Huff Cochins and so forth. For tha past aeven years 1 have bred Ply mouth Rocks exclusively, and think they are the best general-purpose fowl, maturing early. They are good layers and sitters. They also give a good •Ixed roast when brought to the table. My fowls have never had very good ac commodations In the way of housing, and they sometimes get their combe and gills froxen, but I am always Intending to do better by them next winter. For grain feed, corn Is my main reliance, supplemented by what table scraps we get. We make a good deal ourselves, and get considerable more from city families. This winter I am aupplylng them with augur beets from the cows’ rations, which they seem to pick ut with great relish. I find a market for a large part of my flock at $1 each to be used as breeders, and think I could sell more if I had the pluck to advertise more. Those left over we usually dress and sell to private families, at full retail prices In the shops, which average about 10 cents per pound. Occasionally we sell some early chicks at 12 to 111 cents per pouad alive. We do not. get many eggs In winter now. but I "expect to next win ter," when I get my Ideas carried out. We lose some fowls occasionally from different causes, but have never had what I consider an epidemic of cholera or of any other disease. I have never used an Incubator, but have relied on the old method, frequently getting from 12 to 17 chirks In a brood. Seventeen A Rran Segsestloa. At a convention of dairymen recent ly attended by a repreeentatlve of the Farmer*’ Review, a member advocated the creation by the association of a corps of Instructors In butter making, the duty of whom should be to go from house to bouse and teach the wives of the farmers how to fnake good butter. The speaker waied enthusiastic over the proposition. These Instructors would walk right Into the kitchens and take possession, and give their les eons In true pedngoglc style. We are surprised that the humor of the sug gestion did not strike the gentleman. Does he not know that nsarly every farmer's wife believes herself tbs best butter maker In the neighborhood? She need Instructions In butter making! The Idea of It! The Instructors would better go on to the next houxe! Said Instructors would havs the opportun ity of making a rapid exploration of their counties. Walsh Cattle. The black Welsh cattls are natives of the counties of Pembroke, Carmarthen and Cardigan, and are more generally known aa Pembrokeshire Blacks, sub divided Into Castlemarlln and Itewe land breeds. From Cardiganshire they also extend along the North Wales roast up to Anglesea. and are then called the North Wales or Anglesca breeds. Whether they were ever In digenous to Radnorshire or Breconahlre Is not positively known, hut they me not generally found In either. They are supposed to have been descended from "Boa Prlmlgius,” that Is, they were not brought In by settlers, hut were found there In a wild state by the earli est Inhabitants. They may tie described as a horned breed, generally of black color, and frequently with white marks on the udders of the eows, also a few white hairs at the end of the tall.

Take for Illustration the county of Jefferson, that state. There are a great many silos there and more are being built. Of the patrons of the Hoard creameries alone more than 100 now have silos and others are to build them the coming year. The gentleman that makes the state ment our correspondent refers to very likely does so In goon faith. The first silos built in Wisconsin and Illinois and In fact, in all of the states, were very poor affairs. Moreover, many men lost their silage, either by putting it in too green and having It sour too much or by putting It in too dry and having It beat too much. Some others used B. and W. corn, which matures enough in some localities and not enough in others. All of these were exposed to possibility of failure, and many farmers did not till their silos a second year. Then, too. there was a prejudice at first against silage for milk when the latter was to be used In the condensing factories. Some of these factories would not buy milk made from silage. This caused the abandonment of muny silos, especially in some parts of Northern Illinois.

Ttiburt'tilln In Oppotetl. There has sprung up a strong opposi tion in some quarters to the applica tion of the tuberculin test to cattle that may he suspected of having tubercu losis. This might have been looked for, especially in localities where tubercu lous herds have been slaughtered. There are few men that feel like de stroying their own property for the good of the public. We see the same spirit manifested among people in the case of contagious diseases, such as smallpox. Many people that get It make a strong tight to have the matter hushed up. although they know that In IH# UUIIIK uirj air rajiUBiug lilt? lIVtJB OI inuuy more to the contagion.

All of the authorities should at tempt to stamp It out, but In doing so private Interests must bn sacrificed lo the good of the whole community. The men that oppose it have to have a plea to make their argument effective In the eyes of the public, and their argument la that tuberculin does not correctly diagnose the disease However, statis tics disprove their ssserllons. and find ing a case or two where lbs test scene in have failed has little argumentative effect on the whole case We have beard like argunreats agslust the value of vaccinatum for smallpox, neverthe less. statistics of hospitals, smiles and even whole natloue are overwhelming ly on the side of vaccination, -farm ers' Hevlew.

A brown black, approaching a chocolate color, is considered a good color. Occasionally there are some cows striped red and black, also some finite white with black ears, muzzle and fpfct, but these are becoming very rare. The special characteristics of the blacks, which make them valuable, are hardiness of constitution, aptitude for dairy purposes, and docility. How Anthrax la Carried. Too great care cannot be used In the case of anthrax making Itself mani fest in any locality. If an animal has died of the disease, the germs may be come spread In a number of ways. Even the persons making an examina tion of the carcasses are likely to carry away the germs on their boots. If the carcass Is exposed to vultures, the germs are still more widely spread. Four years ago there was an out break of anthrax on ten farms in Dela ware. About 40 cows and 9 horses were affected. Of tbelr owners four persons took the disease. There seemed only two ways for it to have come. One was by the possible Introduction by drovers that had, perhaps, been In In fected localities. Tbe other possible source was the Morocco leather Import ed from the old world. It has been proven In Europe that even scraps of tanned leather and bits of hair can convey the disease.
