Bates , the pni- tor , preached an Interesting discourse , speaking substantially as follows : Bat of hlmnroyo In Ckrlst Jesui , who of God l m do unto ui wiidom , and righteous- nosa and isnctification and redemption. " 1st Cor. ; 1-80. In this text there arc four great thoughts suggested for our consideration. The first is confidence in Christ. Another la work , and upon what great subjects. or In parsait of what great alms shall that work bo conducted. Another is pleasure ; what shall bo Its sources. And the final thought is death ; what kind of a death death do wo wish to die ? Pat yonr confidence lu a man , and after < tor a tlmo it dlsippoars perhaps with him. I supposed there are very few pee pie hero who have not pat thai , trait in an earthly ftiond. It is occasionally true , I thould bo glad to say , in the ma jority of caics , BO far as our earthly ro- latlons are concerned , when wo placa oar confidence In a friend , wo find that the confidence thus imposed is not abased , I should bo very sorry to think there was no ono on this earth whom wo could trust , but there are many whom wo sup pose to bo worthy of oar trust , who fall to keep It sacred. Patyour trust in the Lord God of Is rael. Remember It is the power of God that accomplishes results , and ho is the oamo yesterday , to-day , and forever ; the friend of everybody who will trust in him. There are two ways in which to pat onr trust in God. It is Impossible that a man can bo saved according to the scrip- tare I do not nay , according to the views of people or of ministers but according to the scripture , there is only ono way for a man to bo snvcd , and that Is by faith in the Lord Jesus. I do not under stand that Is a question whether God will allow anybody to ba lost. I under stand that wo are all lost. "I came to seek and save them who are lost. " I understand that wo have all come ihort of the glory of God. A man may say"I cannot aoo how ono man beara the tins of another , and moreover do not know what you moan by belief and faith. " God's way is to believe in the Lord Jeans Christ. "If a man believes in the Lord Jesus Christ ho shall bo saved. Ho that bolleveth not shall not see lifo bat the wrath of God abldeth on him. " "Trust in. the Lord and do good. " This Is all the way. Then with relation to our work. A child of God , in Christ remember , begin ning his work or endeavoring to carry it on In any department , should also work for Christ. For Instance , n business man who is in Christ and who haa a store , In which ho Is engaged , being called upon to perform some service for the church , per haps will say , "I know- is all right and a good work , and I am interested in it , bat I have a lot of business on hand , and there is a man hero representing a hoaso in the east , and trying to cheat me , and I must look oat for my own interests first , and got my business arranged and then I can consider the other matter. " I had an employer ono time who claimed to bo a Christian , but I am sorry to say ho did many things that lu my estimation hardly become a Christian cnaractor. On one occasion with reference to some goods ho told the man of whom they had been obtained that they were entirely useless , and could be used to no advantage whatever , while I had heard him say only the day before that they could bo turned to moeo excel lent account in ono way. But ho held up the matter in this light until the man came down to a largely reduced figure , and then of course kept the goods. This was dot in accordance with the teachings of Christ and tbo scriptures , and yet it Is the way In which business is largely car ried on at the present time by men who profess to bo workers for the Lord Josus. Those are some of the temptations by 'which you are sur rounded. It is thought that it is castor to bring up girls than boys because homo influence and domestic duties are fraught with , less temptations than these with which wo meet out in the world. But there are many temptations at homo , and wnen a woman becomes skeptical it is harder to convert her thin it is to con vert a man who Is skeptical , and for this reason it is a blessing that there are fewer skeptics among women thin among men. men.When the Lord was down hero on earth , what tras he doing ? It was the joy of his existence to load the people to bollovo on Him whom ho trusted. Ho blessed the poor woman who gave all that she had to the Lord. This reminds mo of the matter of collections concerning which I wish to speak. Mr. Spnrgoon was talking with a gentleman concerning the church when the gentle man B id , "My dear Mr. Spurgoon , I thak | it IB inappropriate for a collection to bo taken up In the church. " Ho wai referred to the passage in Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians , in which ho says , "Therefore my beloved brethren bo ye steadfast , unmorablo , always abound ing In the work of the Lord , for asmuch as yo know that yonr labor is not In vain in the Lord. " The colloo- tions go right along with all that is most holy in our religion. Christ blessed the poor woman not because she throw in such n small amount , bat because it was all she had. Hadfeho had more and given more ho would have thought more of her , but she did all she could , and that Is what is required of us. Christ did the work allotted to him on this earth in the spirit of tenderness and kindness. Lot us go about our work In the same way , and if there Is anything outside requiring attention ut the tame time 'with matters pertaining to God's service , let us remember that to lay the latter aside for the former Is wholly out keeping with the Christian character. Now with reference to pleasure. There is a good deal of tlmo that wo would like to devote to pleasure. Wo need some sort of recreation. Wo cannot stand a continual round of duty without amuse ment of some deccrlptton. Straugo the apostle Paul stood U BO long. Ho foraook the pleasures of sin and devoted hlmsol entirely to God's service , never from them for the take of light amusa ment. I care not what yonr pleasures are when you come to sickness they seen like dross , but if you pro in the Lord Jesus , the brightness of his ccuntenanc shines through thodarknesaof oxpertenc and the strength of hli right arm wi ! bear you up in your trials. As to the Kind of pleasure , let m peak of progressive euchre , This is p'owuro that is taking fast hold upo society and la being bold up M a healthfo ani harmless amuiement. I do not se tttat It atimulatoa the mind or bestow upon the body needful exorcise. I do not co that It servos to draw us any nearer o God ; I do not BOO that it leads us to lolp our neighbors ; I do not see that it ; lvos ua an opportunity to speak n word or Christ ; it does not put us in a prayer- nl frame of mind , or in any manner makes us spiritual minded. Onr joy whatever it be ought to bo in Christ. Make all pleasures subservient o him , and If they DO of a sinful nature , and you are In Christ , they eannot enter nto yon except through him. Now what comes after all this ? Trust , work , and pleasure are followed by some- hing. The faith , Work , and joy what henl We suppose death. What about hat ] Lot us die in the Lord. Wo have rusted In him , worked for him , sought > nr pleasures in him , and found onr joy n him ; lot us d-o In him. "JDlosaedaio tliodcad that die In the Lord.1' 'Ailcop in .Toms , blessed sleopl From which none ever wake to weep , A calm and undisturbed lepoao , Unbroken by the last of fooa. " Let our death bo like that. FBIISONAU J. W. Berger returns to Topekn , Kim , , this vening. Miss Uirtio Gould is visiting friends In .iGgan nnd Missouri Valley. The Rev. Robert A.

It requires no ilghly gifted eoer to porcelvo that test of thcso efforts will bo abortive , 'ho ' fact is , the wrecks of Ill-conceived rult plantations are strewn over the hole country. Wo have no csiro to say a word that nay discourage any ono from ongag- ng in frplt-cultnro who will attempt it n a ratienal and bnalnosa-llko manner ; nit vro would warn the Inexperienced to ook on both sides of the subject , and it ms two sides , ono of which Is not the : oao-colored ouo that Is usually painted > y newspaper writers. Orchards and vineyards require con- dorablo land to bo devoted to them , vhlch usually needs special preparation o fit it for the purpose ; and its after ultlvation lor successive years , with the dded interest and necessarily attendant sxpsnscs , make a heavy outlay by theme mo the bearing stage arrives , and it Is aly with fair crops and prices that suit * bio returns are received. Tbo remark- bio Instances cf largo profits in fruit- growing , It must bo remembered , are the xceptional ones , while the history of 10 ordinary cases are seldom written , ad the failures are burled from public low. Crops of small fruits can bo ob- alnwl the second and third years from tlantlng for this reason , and also locauio with a comparatively small mtlay the stock plants can ) o procured from which increase m bo ruado as desired , and because icso crops can be moro generally raised iroughout the country , many moro on- oge in raising thorn tkan thosa kinds of rults that require a longer tlmo to come ) a bearing state. For the same reasons bore are greater fluctuations of the nantltloa of theao fruits sent to market n a fresh state , and of the prices they ring. On the other hand , the oaao and apldity with which , with the exception f the strawberry , these fruits can bo riod , and thole valno la this condition ro points greatly in tholr favor. Fruit- rying Is a necessary part of profitable mall-fruit culture. In regard to raising fruit beyond the ccessary family supply , as a part cf the arm crop , it may bo said that this is iratiaed to a considerable extent , and nth moro or lees success. Unless , ho\v < vor , it is a predominant Interest , or at east ono of considerable Importance , t is too frequently neglected , when ether farm work Is most pressing , often eacrificing the crop , r at least the profit of it. Some farmers ave the genius , if it may bo BO called , to manage a few acres of fruit very cleverly , nd do It without injury to the rest of bo farm ; but , aa a ralo , fruit growing is oat conducted ns a business of itself. Wo would not bo understood that every arm should not , If possible , rats3 enough rult for Its own supply , and there nra ew farms where it cannot bo done , the amo as there are few parts of the coun ry where a plentiful supply of fruit can not bo raised In the garden. The dis- inctlon between fruit-growing for the amliy and fruit-growing for market is ery clear , and while universal attention o tie former cannot bo urged too penis ontly , the latter should bo undertaken nly with the moat intelligent propara Ion.

Doa Moines Leader , While there are yet thomapds of lab' ' orora idle In tbo cities and mining villages of Pennsylvania there Is almost an unprecedented procedented icarctty of farm hands In that state. As the spring advances the demand for labor Increases , but the sup ply , aa accounts from all parts of thi state indicate , to be very limited. It li said that the supply of ekllled farm labo is very far below the demand , it boln | almost impossible to obtain men whi know how to chop , plow , hoe , milk cow and mow , although the fanners kee ; standing orders at the omplcymen agencies In the different cities and advor tlae In the various local papers. It seems that the idle laborers and me chantcs from the cities are slow to ava the opportunity to secure places on th farms , They dislike very much to loav their old haunts and go Into the country The wages of the farm look very low t men who have been aonutomod to go from $1 to $2 per day. Besides , thei men are unaccustomed to farm labor , an cannot command the wages of first-rato farm hands for three or four months. They are generally able-bodied , Intclll gent men , however , and would make i very superior class of farm laborers. It IB said that those who have loft the Foundries and mines and gone to work on the fauns are very much pleased with the change. While the wages appear to bo low , when it is considered that the men got free board and are not exposed to daily , almost hourly , temptations to ipond money uselessly , they are much bettor offthan when they receive twice ; ho amount in the cities. The healthFulness - Fulnoss of farm labor IB another thing that commends it. Men who leave the cities palo and debilitated from vitiated , old and irregular habits , soon become ruddy and strong on the farms. The chances for accumulating money and bo soming tenant farmers , and eventually land owners , ate easily Improved by in dustrious and frugal laborers , and after awhile they are charmed with the free dom and ether blcsilngs of country llfo. No doubt the rural population will bo argoly added to from the ranks of the die laborers during the spring and summer mor , and the farmers as well as the laborers ors bo greatly benefited by the ohango. AW All BALLOON. A Monster Air Carriage to Bo Built at the GoYcrumontft'a Expense. Philadelphia Special. The Ordnance Board of the United Stains army has recommended the con- tructlon of a monster war balloon for the [ BO of the Government , and Gen. Russell ? hftyor of this city , the inventor , has re ceived instructions to begin work. The ) oard recommends thata balloon of seven ons ascending force be constructed , and hat trials bo made with it. It will bo ho largest balloon ever cons'rooted ' In his country , and will have a diameter of ixty foot and a length of 185 foot. The "dirigible war balloon" as it is ailed Is a cigar-shaped machine , pointed at both ends , and , unllko ordinary bal- pens , sails through the airlongltudinally. t is about three times aa long as it ia wide. The bag is made of oiled silk , and .horo . is a wooden dock in place of the rdlnary wicker car. There is a tack vlthln the bag whereby the balloon Is nwdo to ascend or descend at the will of .ho . aeronaut. When ho wants to ascend 10 draws the air from the sack and fills ho bag with the hydrogen , and when ho wishes to descend ho replaces the hydru- ; cn in the bag with air. The descent can jo made without the us a of ballast. The mlloon has a speed of thttty miles an lour independent of the irlud , The mo- ivo power is compressed air. Tons of yuamito percusiion bombs may bo cared - : od into the clouds , and dropped while 10 balloon sails ever a camp , or fortlfi- atlons , or fleet of ships. The work of onstruotionUon Thayer eays.can best bo ccompllehod when the balloon is at a light of COO or GOO feet. When the jlloou Is constructed a trial will bo made ; some inland point. Itwill cost the overnment $10,000 to make this cxpor- ment. lu { Natural Inclination [ to Runaway Matches. owling Green Critic.
