DEVINS, KEYS & HALLETT Bleanwhile John had mowed several times across the patch, and it begun to be terribly hot. The sun poured its rays down with great intensity, and the thick wood on all sides kept 01f any breeze that might be stirrinrr. John was more than hotâ€"he was fairly boiling, and as thirsty as an old toper. So John, 'thinliing that no one could possibly see him, sat down on a. log and took off his shoes and pantaloons, and then, and then with his long gingham shirt and wide rimmed straw hat and his stocks, resumed mowing. He had mowed twice across the piece, and was picking out the long grass around an old log pile, when right beside him he saw a. pair of blue racers. He cast one look behind him and saw his drea‘xdfnl enemyâ€"streaming out like a pennant from a. steamshipâ€"and, think» John was no coward, but he was nmr~ tally afraid of snakes. If he had been warm before, he was a lump uf ice now. \Vith a dash of his scythe he cut off the head of one of them, and the other-(me raised his head and darted toward him. John drnpped his scythe, turned and jumped just as the hooked teeth (if the snake caught above the wide, firm hem of the rear end of his gingham shirt. The patch of timothy referred to was a. newly cleared piece of land, nearly sutu rounded by woods, and so full of stumps and log piles that it was impossible to use the machine. \an will lezwu Jolm mowing and return to the party. It was a very warm day, so the girls had moved the chairs out doors in the shade of some large maples, and there they sat chatting, joking, and laiughiug, as only a party of hght-headed girls can. “But, Gertrude, that patch of timothy by the north wood must be cut, and as Jim has gone home to stay over Sunday, 1 rlmll have to cut it.” And so, much to G-ertrude‘s chagrin, he took his scythe over his shoulder after dinner and started fur the patch of timâ€" othy. But he lingered around the 01'- chm‘d until he saw the plump figure of Mabel Clark coming, 51nd then, heaving a sigh, he started for his work. A piain, unassuming, bashful young man was John Eldred, living with his mother, on a good farm, left him by his father, who was dead. They were in ex- cellent circumstances, 'and John was as happy as a weilwtn-do farmer can be. He was llg‘fool finer, fol" he had a good 1??

Gertrude had invited a number of girls tor a quiltâ€" ing party one after110011,]\1u1w1among the rust. She told John that they were coming, and added 2 In the same neighborhood lived Judge Clark, who had a daughter named “Libel. Now John had for a. long time secretly admired Mabel, and although he had never betrayed it, his sister had guessed his secret, and. resolved to bring about a match betweeen the two, but just how to do it she did not know. “Now, John, for my sake, do come in to tea, this afternoon. You know all the glrls that W111 be here, m)d~â€"~â€"-” !H'"3r"~jy£d .wSJJL ,* arguiquxedna greatda’éal of us 3ful knowledge. John was good looking, not a handsome man (for there are none) but a tall, finely formed man. But John had one failing in my oyes~~he was twex1Ly»sick years old and not. married. Nor was there any prospect of any such even: happening ver soon, for of all the bashful men thu' ever wore a shirt coller John Eldred was the worst. The girls in that im- mediate vicinity were strangers to him, he was always avoiding everything that were a, dress, save his mother and sister John’s mother was a quiet, loving wo- mizn, who ever had uppermost in her mind the happiness of her children, con- sequently she had for some time secretly wished that he was married. Gertrude, John’s sister, was a very pretty young lady, and also shared her mother’s wish, but how to bring it about she could not imagine. A plain old-fashioned Wight was he As these sport loving days could see. He in his youth had loved and lost His loyal true~line. Ever since His lonely life was flocked and crossed By sorrow’s nameless shadowdints; Yet never a murmur from his lips Told of his darkened soul’s eclipse, I often think I still can hear His voice so blitho, his tones of cheer, As. dropping in to say, “good-day,” He gossiped in his old man’s Way. And yet we laughed when he had gone, XVe youngsters couldn’t understand- No matter it it rained or shone, He held the umbrella in his hand, Oz'if he set it in the hall, \Vhere other shedders of the rain Stood dripping up against the “all, He was too shabby and too plain To tempt exchange 1 all passed it by Though showers of rain were pouring down And all the gutters in the town \Vcro torrents in the darkening sky.

The early sown wheat is in excellent condition and'has got a good start in growth. There has been a large acreage sownwin fact we think too large an acreage, as every available field, whether fit or not, has been put in wheat. \Vheat has been sown on wheat stubble, oat stubble and every stubble, without regard to fitness in the way of manuring, Slimmer following or anything else. The good crops of ’77â€"8 have enâ€" duced everybody to go in for wheat. This, however, will result ‘dis strously to the land, and unless dame nature is very kind, the‘COIning winter, we have no hes- itation in predicting that a large quanti- ty (if the Fall wheat now willbe a failure. It was only the favorable atmosphere of last winter which produced such a luxuâ€" riant crop. Dame nature is a great farm- er herself, and Wll’tl} farmers want to do is to give her a lift in the way of better cultivation anduiore plant food manoenr. lt maynot be out of PlrlCd to mention here that 19-20 of the support of wheat. comes from the atmosphere ; bit to draw this large quantity, the plant requires to have a proper toothold in the soil, and the support a stem of wheat will receive from the atmosphere will be pl'OPOI‘CiOIh ate to the amount of plant~food in the soil. \Ve have mentioned this for fear our farmers might imagine with such a large draw from the atmosphere, 19330, wheat would grow as well on a gravel road as in a rich cultivated soil. But this may be laid down as a rule that your plant, or stems of wheat will receive support from the atmosphere in a direct ratio, as its roots receive support from the soil. \Ve may s'iielv say, there has been the largest aera of wheat sown this fall of any previous year, and we think this following one because it hasbeen suc- cessful for two seasons or so, is where our Canadian and in fact American farmers miss it. If say, fall wheat fails nextyear where will our farmers be? and where commercially Viill the country be ? Their land is now occupied with one cereal, mainly, and if this fails they all go down. Now what our farmers want to do, is to judiciously vary their crops so that where one misses another will hit. This going into one thing because it pays one year, is a mistake, and acts disastrously all around. Now two good crops, with the large acreage has brought wheat to 84 cents a bushel, and this may pe attributâ€" ed to a certain extent to the large areas sown during the last two years in Cana- da and United States. There is no doubt that North America, including the Cana- das and United States, is the great wheat growing country of the world, and , the excess or deficit of this cereal here will always influence the markets of the world. There is nothing will illustrate this hobbyâ€"horse farming, better than ~aising hogs; if pork should happen to be a grad price for one year, every farmer goes into the hogs, and these being so prolific, increase so rapidly, that a couple of years produce an overâ€" abundance, aud the market is glutted. This tendency of our farmErs to go into specialities of fanning will always produce fluctuations and. uncertainty in prices, and losses. As we said before the farmer who judiciously varies his crop, and has a little of everything, is always the richest. “Calla man !” No quicker did he disappear around the corner of the house than he would appear at the other corner. Every time he turned the corner he would receive a terrible blow from the cold, slimy snake, which would raise him from the ground at least four feet, and at every blow he would yell : “Call a man I” The frightened girls rushed for the house, and they had hardly get inside the door as John flew past with the shout : “Call a man 1” Down across the read he went, leaping the gate a bound, and as he cantered through the flock of hens, scattering them in all directions, the shout rose 10nd and clear 5 “Call a man l” Around the barn, back again toward the house, went the strange pair, and as the gate was again leaped, came the cry this time of : “For God’s sake, call a man 1'” Ashe again disappeared around the house, Mabel Clark ran out of the door, and seizing a stick some four feet in length, stationed herself at the corner, with the cudgel elevated above her head. On came John, panting like an engine, and as he came around the corner, down went the club, barely grazing John’s head, but striking the racer a blow that broke his hold and back at the same time. Mabel had/John’s company home that night; and in the glorious October V’Yfaafilxer filer-e was a. wedding at Judge story came out; but John often says to Mabel, “I am thankful to Providence that you did “not call a. man.” ing only of the terrible fate that awaited him if he stopped, bounded towards the hogse with the Speged ofA aqexpresg train. John concluded it best not to wait, but gathered his remaining strength for a final dash, bounded into the house, up stairs, and into his room. An hour later Gertrude tapped at his door. “John,will you come down to tea, or shall I call a. man I" “I will come down, Gertrude,” was his answer in a. firm tone. And he did. He made a. careful toilet, and there was not a feature of his face that betrayed embarrassment. Mabel had extracted a promise from the girls not to speak of the episade, 0r betray any knqwledge of it n hatever. 011, on he ran‘ through the north mea- dow and orchard, and, as he neared the house, the thought of the party flashed on his mind. But there was no other way, and so on he ran. “sz11 a. man !” he yelled. and then turned the corner. So great was his m0- mentum that the snake swung around and hit him on his bare legs like the sharp sting of a rawhide whip. The girls screamed and jumped, and the quilt went over on the ground. The vision sped around the corner, and once more came the cry 2 He dashed down past the west end of the house, and as he rounded the corner, the \fhgle party 9f girls metihis view. / /(///fl W Lap/flag 2% w) The WVheat Crop. ,1; “n!” thâ€"(zr. that {no Mr. D. L. Moody paid an unexpecth and very welcome visit yesterday to Chi- czxgo, the scene of his early labors and of Hume of his greatest triumphs. He came into the ruoms of the Younge Men’s Christian Association in the forenoon, and the sight of his robust, cheerful, energetically Christian countenance seem- ed unongh to revive the drooping spirits of the workers in the vineyard. As one so long as the rules of the health in cleanliness are not observed will we have people lamenting the death of their dear little infant or older member of their household, carried away as they think bv an overruling Providence, when as Henry \Vard Beecher truly remarked in one of his lectures in this city, “it was a providence of rotten onions in the cellar, which took the dear friend from our side.” Mark well the fact that just in the same ratio we observe the laws of cleanliness in our bodies and estates, shall our measin‘e of health and consequent hap- piness be meted out to us. Nature is a very just Judge,although considered very harsh by those on whom punishment falls for their non-observance of the laws governing); the same. If you habitually for a period of time drink foul water, you will be attacked by fever: if you breathe nupure air for an extended period of time you will be attacked by con- sumption of the lungs. And so in a lesser or greater degree, throughout the chapter of diseases, they have all got their courses, and disease is the effect. Then guard well your bodies against the ravages of the fell consumer. Whenever you wash. your hands or face, consider that the other parts of your body are in equal need of being clonsed ; whenever you wash out your rooms, consider that the closets, garrets, cellars, and back yards need renovating equally as much. Fellow in this plain path, and health, joy, wealth, and happiness will be for you and yours, and you will have done a great deal towards elevating the human family from its present unhealthy condition Next to the daily bath in cleanliness is the homes we live in. The houses we live in should be kept scrupulously clean, no article or aubstance that would tend to produce foul air by contaminating the pure oxygen, shoul be allowed for a moment to have a place in our living apartments. Little nooks, corners, clo- sets, garrets,nnd above all, cellars are allowed to abound with death dealing, decaying or germinating substances ;cellars are allowed to be damp, and articles of food are there allowed to foment, mildew or decompose, throwing their death dealingai‘oina into the adjoining apart ments of the house. Yards are allowed to contain decaying matter, which is oris not noticeable to the residence of the adjoining houses. It all adds its quota to awell the amount of poison instilled into the blood through the agency of the air we breathe. Until our population is instructed in the proper cleanliness of their ber es, their houses, their goods and their surrounding, just so long will we have the doctors bitttliug with fever, consumption, and kindred diseases. Just As a rule, people do not pay the at- tention they should to habits of clean- liness. Those we intend to speak of are not termed dirty by their neighbors. They make good butter if farmers wives or daughters, if on a promenade both sexes are scrupulously clean and tasty, with a little “ Jockey Club” to cover the breath they have always been told was most offensive to the olfactory nerves of any companion. They are clean in their wayâ€"so far as they have been taught they observe the habits of cleanliness instilled into them by their parentsâ€"they wash their face and hands every morning at least and comb their hair on similar occasions, but we will wager a cake of soap that nine out of ten of those clean people have not washed their entire bodies twice a week during the year. Yet to wash the entire body every mornâ€" ing is of more importance than your face or hands‘ You feel refreshed after wash- ing your face and hands, then in what an increased measure would you feel recuperated if you washed your entire body every morning. Only those who practise the habit can understand the benefits to be derived from its observance. The pores of the skin are very minute and easily obstructed by any foreign substance being discharged from the body. If they are not kept open and unobstructed by being throughly washed daily, the accu- mulation of waste matter from the ma- chinery of the body passing through those pores will naturally close them if the daily application of the bath is not practised to aid in the washing away of this death dealing substance. \Vhen the pores of the skin are allowed to be- come clogged by the waste from the body having no ready means of escape, it will concentrate at points and force itself out of the body by boils, bealings pimples, blotchos, or worse, attacks the vital parts of the bodyâ€"the lungs, liver, kidneys, 62w. The foul breadth is an unerring warning that waste of the body is not being dis- charged by its natural channels. Boils, blotches, pimples and other cutaneous eruptlons are also the result of the closing of the pores of the skin. Dullness, head- ache and languor are in many instances superinduced by the waste matter from the body being inprisoned in the pores of the skin. More disease can be prevented, aye yes, and cured, by the daily bath, then by all the pharmceutical preparations 1 in the world of drug stores. There is no i doubt at all but that some artifiical internal aid to the bath, in the form of a medicine, is often needed, more especially when the case is aggravated or of long , continuance. The time spent in bathing the body'every morning, will be regained many times during the day, by an in-‘ creased vigor of mind and healthfulness of body.

RELIGIOUS. D. L. MOODY. No. 18 An extraordinary fallacy is the dread ofnight air. \Vhat air can we breathe at night but night air? The choice is between pure night air from without and tho fanl air within. Most people prefer the latter. An unancmmtahle choice. \Vhat will they say, if it is proven to he trn", that fully one-half the disease we suffer from is occasioned by sleeping with our windows shut? An open window, most nights in the year, can never hurt anyone. This is not to say that light is not necessary for recoverv. In great cities often the night air is the purest air to be had in the twent-four hours. \Ve could better understand shutting the windows in town dnringday. for the sake of the sick. The absence of smoke, the quiet. all tend to make night the best time for airing the patient. One of ’our highest medical authorities on consump- tion and climate has told us that the air in London is never so good as after ten o’clock at night Always air your room then, from outside air, if possible. \Vindows are made to open. doors are made to shut. a. truth which seems extremely diflinult of apprehension. Every room must be aired from Without, every passage from within. But the fewer passage there are in an hospital the batter. Is their anything more invigorating to anyone then to taken boat ride on the water in the evening? The bracing, breeze fills the lungs \Vltll good fresh blood cleansing air, which sends its enervating influence to every vein in the body. causing the glow of health to appear on the cheek, and the elasticity of youth to enter into your limbs. Particularly pleasant will your trip be to you. if you have an enjoyable companion, who will draw from you peals of laughter, and sing to you a. new song in the chorus of which you can join. ‘ Laugh and grow fat.’ is zm old adage, to which allow us to add sing and grow merry. To cure any sick person, their attention must be drawn as much as possible from their malady. No better medicine than a. buoyant com- panion. And then Mr. Moody ceased talking about himself, and began interviewing the reporter. He asked after Mr. Hem ing, saying he admired him for some things, though he knew Mr. Hesing didn’t like him; also about John Went- Wnrth and others; and he even wanted infnrmabion about Chicago politically,th refrained from saying whether he was: a, liatist or a hard-money man. .Eut as Mr. Moody believes in belâ€"rock Gospel, he must be the latter. “Yes, and I hope some day to come back here to lives I have never liked any city so well as Chicago.” “Will you not miss Mr. Sankey '2” “Of course ; but we have parted for a. yearâ€"~ilntil I get some new sermons. My old ones have been published and re- published so many times that I am ashamed to deliver them. That is the condition I am in, and I couldn’t come back here because I have no sermons. I am an exile from my own home. \Ve have had five meetings a day, and I have had no time for study or meditation.

From the Daily ofOct. 18. “ I feel pretty well,” said Mr. Moody to a reporter yesterday, in reply to an inquiry regarding his health. “ Not tired 7" “ N0.” “ You seem stouter than of old 2” “Yes, I weigh 240 \Vhen I left for Europe the first time, five years ago, my weight was 185, and I have gained steida ily ever since, and I think the increase is an indication of health.” “Time hasn’t made much of an imâ€" pression on your face.” “It seems'not, for my friends here say I look very little older than I did ten yew- ag9- V Mr. Moody is certainly the picture of health, and active and vigorous as ever. of the young men remarked to 3 Tribune reporter. “ The evangelist came like a blessed breeze from the lake in the middle of a hot day, and we all felt like opening the windoWs of our hearts to its freshen- ing influence.” But, poetry aside, Mr. Moody is here on a brief business visit, to look after some interests which he has at heart, particularly those twin pets of his, the Chicago-Avenue Church and the \Vest Side Tabernacle. The former is the one he himself founded and fostered for many years, and the latter is one in which he takes a special interest. It is now nearly two years since Mr. Moody left Chicago. and since that time he has continued the revival work with signal success in Boston and other New England cities. He has passed the summer in meditation and study in his home at Northfield, Mass, and now he is arran- ing to spend the coming winter in Balti- more, where he is building a home for his family. He does not anticipate any such revival there as we witnessed in Chicago, but he expects to pursue his work in an effectual, if less demonstrative, Manner. and e'vqryptgher sjavlq of Ifriu‘ting,lip Gold.
