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

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.

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

If the mind be but the happy coflec

quence of a physical, broken and
dying man is au unexplained and

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

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

ing more and more.
There is now no longer among us
any privileged truth. Truth has
now only so much claim to accept

Theologians are even yet too much

conviction, that the invention 'of

than the subtleties spent upon the

Inasmuch as the Redeemer per
emptorily limited the work of his

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

shorts and bone meal, buckwheat.
