A GENTLE IVOSD LOST IS NEVER A gentle word Is never lot, Oh, never then refuse one; It cheers the heart ubeuti,iupcst-to.uscd And lulls the cares that bruise one; It pcattcr6 sunshine oVr our way, And turns our thorns to roses; It changes weary night to day, And hope and "love dincloses. A gentle word is never lost Thy fallen brothers need it; How easy and how small the cost With peace and comfort speed it; Then drive the shadow Irom thy check, A smile can well replace it; Our voice is uitisic hen we speak "With gentle words to grace it. - Mind Over .llntlcr. During a flying visit to "Wauke sha, "Wis., Dr. Robert Boyd related to use an incident from the life of that prince of nri.ic,ln;rs. Robert ..Hall, which is one of the finest illus trations of the power of mind over matter we have ever seen. As ie well known, Mr. Hall. was hardly ever free from sufferinjj. Hie disease, so obscure 3 to bailie all physicians, steadily tightened its hold upon him, and nnny of Ills great sermons were preached under circumstances that would entirely have prostrated a man of feebler uervc. One Sunday morning when, as usual, the church was packed to hear the great preacher, one of his deacons, entering the room at the rear of the pulpit, found Mr. Hall lying on the floor enveloped in a perfect cloud of smoke by which he Was endeavoring to deaden the pain. A student went into the pulpit to conduct the opening services. Mr. Hall liugercd in the vestry till the very last moment wrestling with excruciating pain. At length, as the last hymn waieing sung, he roe, or was liftxMuom the floor. His eye was hciwith narcotics, his checks hung flabby, and his whole expression was lifeless. The sexton pnt his coat on him and opened the door. Slowly and laboriously pull ing hand orcr'haud he climbed the pulpit stairs. "With one hand press ed on his side, and the other grasp ing the pulpit, he announced his text: ilThc father of Lights." He looked more like a dead man than a living one. With slow and mcchan- Aphorism from Itotlic. tKANSLATED BY C. C S.J To a Christian church it is abovfc all essential, that it shall fraukly acknowledge an objective existence ical utterance he began. "Without motion or gesture, save a feeble oc casional movement of liis right hand, he went on. He first de scribed, as only he could, the glories of the natural heaven?, "and then exalted God as the "Father" ot all these lights. Ho then called a graphic roll of.tho world's intellect- ualmasters. Uod was also the Ilcneflt of Sunlight. The unusual severity of the pres ent winter has led a good many peppie to turn their thoughts and bend their energies in the direction of warming their houses who have heretofore loft all that to the fur nace and servauts. There are many precautions that may be taken, by the selection of a furnace large enough for the service required vf it, by providing the chimney with a proper "bonnet" to protect the flues against adverse winds, in the con struction of a house, etc.; but all these things require the expenditure of money as well as thought, and there are those people who, with the best of intentions, have to take things as they find them. There As one simple rule, however, which al most everybody can observe with out waste of time or expenditure of money, and which will alwajs make the greatest diflcrence in personal comfort during the cold season. This is to cultivate the sunlight to the largest practicable extent. In all houses with a north front jt is the positive duty of families occu pying them to transfer their living rooms to the south side of the house during the winter months. The sun rises and sets during Ihe six cold months of the year to the south of cast and west, so that south rooms are wanned up by rays of the sruu more or less during the entire day. Those who have never experiment ed with the difference will probably be surprised to learn that Ihcic is a difference of from five to twenty-live degrees in the thermometer between the north and south exposures, five to ten degrees difference in the morning and afternoon, and from twenty to twenty-five degrees in the LaUon- middle of the daw Thn Hns in What sort of nconlc do we nppd windows is a non-conductor of at-for clergymen? Me.v; but such, of the Gospel as a Norm entirely independent of its apprehensions and fancies. The traditional assumption that in the same people, the Church is more Christian than the State, can only come to pas. on the condition, that the Church is an entirely free Association, and to belong or ivtft belong to it a untter of perfectly free individual choice. This state of things, so familiar to us, is hardly beginning to break wafr in the German mind. c c. s. A "national church'" exists, where a people accomplishes its national ethical task, borne np by the con sciousness ol common faith in God as the basis of its activity. There is, thank God, not nicrcfy a Christian Chukcii, but also a Ciikiste.ndom, and, too, one which is not denominationally divided. To wish to keep up the Church -m. the expense of extra ecclesiastical life, is perverse and ruinous. S The merely religious point of view brings with it in a high degree the danger of.self-dcccit. ..trr r As all the noblest things spoil most easily, so also do Piety and Religion. Piety is not the foundation of hu man life, whether individual or uni versal, but its soul. Its foundation is material nature. The Cassock of the clergy muat also fall away, and the Pulpit de scend into the midst of the congre Father of all mental greatness. And then ho dwelt on moral and spiritu al greatness, and, traced it all to God. As he proceeded, a wonderful chango came over his face. The flabbincss passed nway from his cheeks, and the heaviness out ot his eyes. His face shone like an angel's, his eye blazed with unnatural bril liance, and his voice losing the hus kincss with which he began, jrang likd a trumpet. A great change also came over the audience-. As he went on from picture to picture, and poured out on that audience, ac customed indeed to eloquence, but now astouished, at his Wfni'rfl'J wealth of. word aud thought, the people leaned toward the pulpit as far as they could reach. Many left their pews, and with unconscious steps silently, stealthily crept down the aisles until they found them selves standing entranced directly in front of the speaker, so irrepress ible was the magnet that'dicw them. When the sermon was over, the I giant disease again claimed its vic f tira, the eyes sunk and the face fell. He was again the feeble, dj ing man. Butduriug that glorious hour when "great thoughts struck along the brain," tho miud was supreme. It spurned weakness and death, and claimed its birthright. Such an hour as that will ever disprove the current materialism. There are times when man can "above him self erect himself." Such times PrQD taffY.

Chicago Interior. mosphcric cold, while it is an as sistancc to the active transmission of the sun's rays of light and heat. Wherever the sun's rays can be en joyed longest during a winter's day is the desirable part of the house for living purposes. Due attention to this fact will contribute enormously not merely to the comfort, but to the health, of the women and children, who spend the greater part of the time within doors in the winter season. There is a vast amount of talk about vcu tilatiuu and change of air as neces sary to good health; but the sup pression of the light and mephitic sewer gases by affording proper cvenues of escape, and au admission of all the available sunlight, are the two chief conditions to good health in household life. In 'France, Italy and Germany, though the winlei climates are uot nearly so severe ss our own, the benefits of 6unlight aie understood better and cultivated more generally than among us. The comparative scarcity and costliness of fuel in those countries have led the people to take advantage of the suus heat to the largest possible extent. The natural warmth of the sun'ras should be still more cul tivated in a cold climate like this, and any change in a house necessary to the better enjoyment thereof will save more in the reduced consump tion of lucl than it cau possibly cost. The south exposure is not only warmer, but less damp, and in cv very way more conducive to good health than any other. Chicago 'Iribnne. IKotr to Sec the ind. Take a polished metallic surface of two feet or more, with a straight edge a largo hand-saw will answer the purpose. Take a windy day, whether hot or cold, clear or cloudy, only let it not rain or the air be murky; in other words, let the air be dry and clear, but this is not esseutial. Hold your metallic sur face at right angles to the direction of the wind i. e., if the wind is north, hold your surfase east and west, but, instead of holding the surface -vertical, incline it about forty-five degrees to the horizon, so that the wind striking glances and flows over the edge (keeping it straight) as water over a dam. Now sight carefully over the edge at some minute and sharply-defined object, and you will see the air flow over as water flows over a dam. Make your observations carefully, and you will hardly fail to sec the air, no matter how cold; the result Is even better wheu the- sun is obscured. Au Extraordinary ITIeleor. Nearly all the iuhabitants of Trav erse City were awakened from sleep about half-past two o'clock Tuesday morning by a deafening report fol Iowed soon after by a rattling of glass and a general shaking of the buildings. The cause of this com motion appears to have been a meteor that passed over the town at the time. We have seen three or four different persons who were eye-witnesses of it and they seem to agree substantially in the statement that.it came from the east and pass ed over the town in a westerly course. When a little beyond the towu a dozen or more pieces were thrown off in appearance the size of a man's fist. In color it was a bright fire red. It rapidly ap proached the horizon and between four and five minutes after its dis appearance from view a report like heavy thunder and the shock of the explosion came. Mr. S. R. Bassclt, who lives on the shore of Carp Lake, informs us that he was awa kened by a terrific explosion and that he tound the next morning a place on the lake where it apparent ly struck the ice and went into the lake. lie says the ice was solid and between twelve and fourteen inches thick, and that it was all driven downward into the lake, making a hole about fifty feet across. We have not heard from localities very far away yet, but at Maytield and Williamsburg we are told the shock was felt very perceptibly.--tZWrr-ersc Bay (JYcVi.) Eagle.

As soon as men take to making Dogmas, discord is inevitable. The whole expression "Christum truth '' is a very equivocal one. What is "Christian' truth ! Knowl edge in the light of tho fact "Christ" a light that is continually increas ing more and more. There is now no longer among us any privileged truth. Truth has now only so much claim to accept ance, as she is actually able to enT force in thu persuasiou of men. Theologians are even yet too much inclined, where they have a problem to explain, to fall back on God, in order to use him as a convenient hypothesis for the seeming solution of what costs them so much trouble. All the ecclesiastical reforms, which do not proceed from the point of view, that now our laymen understand better than our clergy, what is ncediul for the Church, can lead to nothing. It must be reniembored that -in Gcrmauy the laity and the clergy are widely apart. c. c. s. I am willing to avow my firm conviction, that the invention 'of locomotives and railroads has been a much more important positive ad- vancementofthc Kingdom of Christ, than the subtleties spent upon the dogmas of 2sticad and Ciialcedon. Inasmuch as the Redeemer per emptorily limited the work of his lite to Jicligion as such, he has made it possible, that his work, Christian ity, should, through all phases of the development of history, abide immutably as the controlling relig ious force, inasmuch as it can re main iu haruinnv with U n.-. ti,n j ...... .,, .iii.i iNU farther this knowledge advances, Chiistianity itself is thereby placed in a clearer light, aud brought to a more perfect understanding. 1 know, that in our days there are vast numbers, who in the most thor ough sincerity aud earnestness hold Christianity to be the sacred centre of mankind, and, moreover, ax re spects themselves personally would not for any price suffer themselves to be robbed of the right to call themselves Christians, who yet have to such a degree fallen out with ecclesiastical Dogma and its practical consequences, that they are not able in good faith to adhere to the profession of it. In .theology it is always the cur rent assumption, that the measure of an indidual'schurchliness is the measure for the degree of his chri?t iauncss.

Mow to Feed lor SZz. A correspondent of the new Poul try Jfonthly, published at Albany, says : The question is asked mo often how I feed my poultry to get so many eggs through the cold weather. They say the- feed their fowls a 1,1 the corn they will cat, but they do not get any eggs. My fowl are always healthy, never have any kind of disease, and I always get plenty of eg'gs when they bring the highest piice. In the first place I keep pure-breed poultry, not mon grels; next, my fowls always havg all the old plaster, lime, oyster aud clam-shells broken line, burnt bene, charcoal and gravel they require, a good dust box to wallow in, plenty of good water, not snow and ice, bone meal and meat scraps twice or, three limes a week, and sour milk when 1 have it. Now, for the fir.t meal, potatoes and meat scraps boil ed, mashed, a little salt, thicken with corn meal and wheat short ; second meal, buckwheat ; third meal, corn. Second day, potatoes aud turnips boiled mashed, seasoned, thickcncil with corn and oats ground; second meal, wheat screening ; third uisal buckwheat. Third day, potatoes aud onions boiled, ecason, niasli, thicken with ground feed and a fciv haudfuls of bone meal ; second feed ing, oats; third meal, corn. Four.th da', potatoes and meat scraps, sea soned well with Cajenne pepper, thickened with meal and shorts; second meal, buckwheat; third meal, wheat screenings. Fifth, potatoes and sweet apples boiled, season, mash and thicken with wheat shorts; second meal, corn; third meal, oats. Sixth day, potatoes and onions boiled and mashed, thicken with corn and oat-meal ; secolid meal, wheat: third meal, corn; an extra feeding ol sunflower seeds once iu a while I find is very good. Seventh day, potatoes and turnips boiled aud mashed, season widi Cayenne pepper, thicken with wheat shorts and bone meal, buckwheat. This is the way my fowls are feff through cohl weather.
