INTRODUCTORY.
The old Hebrew story— the history of
Rpth—i s one of the most beautiful to be
found in Old Testament scripture. With
it most people are supposed to be more
or loss familiar. It is written with such
exquisite simplicity that a child can
understand it. It is so brief that it can
be read in an hour. Its dramatic interest
is so bewitching that if commenced it
must be read to the end, and if once read
it will not easily be forgotten. Its sim
plicity, sweetness and pathos; its nu
merous pictures of kindness, affection,
industry, faith and humility charm every
reader.' In our youth we follow the
fascinating story with eager interest
until, with a sigh of relief, we see the
beautiful gleaner, Ruth, married to the
generous husbandman, Boaz.
THE STORY AND ITS CHIEF ATTRACTIONS.
The story concerns common events
and common people. It is a quiet, genial
history of incidents in family life; though.
poverty, love, bereavements, marriage
and births are the essential elements of
the plot. Of course the chief character
is a woman, for was there ever a story
worth printing that did not have for its
leading and prominent feature—a woman
in it. Woman not only gives
“To earth its charm, to life its zest,”
but she embellishes and enriches every
story that was ever worth the telling.
ancestors.
The history informs us that Ruth was
the great grandmother of that glorious
old king, David, and that Boaz was of
the house of Judah, and without this
knowledge it would have been impossible
to verify the prophecy that Christ, the
Messiah, was descended from that royal
tribe. There are men who make great
protections to family descent and some
oftliem are only the shadow of a mighty
name. The man who has not anything
to boast of but his illustrious ancestors is
like a potato—the only good belonging
to him is under ground.
The names of the characters introduced
wo nearly all Jewish and are rich in
meaning.
Elimelech, the father, has a grand name
for a pious man—it means “My God is
King.”
Naomi, the wife. the mother, and after
wards the widow, i3 called by a name
that means “sweetness,' ©r “the gra
cious.’
Mali! on means “weakly.” Chihon means
“pining” or “wasting. They were the
sons of Naomi.
*******
DEATH AND WIDOWHOOD.
The father, mother and two sons are
forced to leave their native land, to cross
the Jordan, for Bethlehem is smitten by
famine, and they are compelled to take
refuge in a heathen country. Not long
after their airival in the land of Moab,
Elimelech dies. Naomi was left a widow
in a land of strangers and heathens.
Elimelech died and the sons ‘‘took
them wives of the women of Moab.” It is
a simple statement, yet a whole world of
change is involved in it.
* * •* * * *
The union of Mahlon and Chillion with
their Moabitish wives was not a long one
It ended prematurely. The husbands

HOME SWEET HOME.
Naomi prepares to^rctum to the old
country and the two young widows deter
mine to accompany her. The mutual
affection of Naomi and her daughters-in
law is a sweet model for all who occupy
similar relationships. She herself bear*
expressive testimony to Orpah’sandRath s
filial and wifely love: “The Lord deal
kindly with you as ye have dealt with the
dead and with me.” Naomi bids them
“go return to your mother's house.” And
^ith exquisite tenderness and deep mean-
“g Naomi gives them her blessing and
bids them return thither. She also holds
out to them as an inducement to return
that they may soon be
Hand* of invisible spirit* touch the strings
Of that mysterious instrument, the soul,
And play the prelude of our fate."
Naomi and Ruth pursue their journey.
The sight of familiar spots quickens a
crowd of painful memories in the heart
of the wido w: “And it came to pass
when they were come to Bethlehem that
all the city was moved about them, and
they said‘Is this Naomi?"’ Time and
sorrow have wrought their cruel work.
Such troubles as hers leave terrible marks
upon a woman and she has grown old
fast. And she said "call me not Naomi
(sweetness); call me Mara (bitterness).”
“The happy hour may soon be near
That brinsrs u* pleasant weather.
The weary night o' care and grief
May have ajovful morrow ;
So dawning day brought relief,
Farewell our night o' sorrow"
ARRIVED IS BETHLEHEM
in the beginning of the barley harvest,”,
they determine their course. Ruth does
not shrink from the necessities of her
position, she will go to work in the hot
sun as a poor gleaner and never murmur.
The narrative says, “and her hope was to
light on a part of the field belonging to
Boaz, who was of the kindl ed of Elime
lech.'’ This was the crisis in her histo
ry-
entering the field his quick glance espies
a stranger, and he inquires “whose damsel
is this ?’’ and his servants tell him that “it, anJ ■ u charactere whose virt ues are
is the Moabitish damsel tnat came with | f.,„,;i;.„-u„
ey do say foolish things, and assuredly
eir words should not be expounded bv
unsympathetic commentators. There
was something in this case of love-mak-
mg between Boaz and Ruth that may be
ound in all lands and times. It seems
to come to young men as natural as
br **taing'Or fancy neck-ties.
Ruth 8 next kinsman had a keen eye
for his own interest, and was eager to
renounce his duty when he discovered
that it would involve him in unremunera-
fave cost, and to the delight of Boaz, he
transfers his rights in the usual formal
way. And now we reach that most excit-
mg point, when the two are fairly engag
ed, and we have been able to learn how
the thing was done; when, where and
how the proposal was made and accept
ted.
CONCLUSION.
Our story draws to a close. We have
followed the charming tale through much
variety of experience. Both Naomi and
Ruth, have had abundance of sorrow, bnt
now brighter prospects dawn upon their
lives. The trials which befel them eu-
nobled and sanctified their natures. > The
process of their culture was painful, but
the fruit is precious and beautiful. Many
a pleasant morsel of the bread of life is
found under the cold snows of worldly
privation and scorn. Many a beautiful
gem is picked up in the secret recesses of
the dark caves of sorrow and trouble.
"Do not cheat thy heart and tell her
Grief will paat array .
Hope for fairer times in future.
And forget to-day.
Tall her, if yon will, that sorrow,
^ Need not come tu vain ;
Tell her that the lessons taught her
Far outweigh the pain
Bid her not seek other pleasures,
Turn to other things;
Bather nurse her caged sorrow
Till the captive sings.
Bid her with s strong clasp hold her
By her dusky wings
Listening for the murmured blessing
borrow always brings.
There is no description given of the
joyous and momentous event of Ruth's
wedding. That brilliant journalistic
Jenkins had not yet gladdened the world
by his presence, so that we are not fur
nished with a list of the beauties that at
tended and danced at the wedding—the
blonde, brunette and the “between.” We
are not told who was the most elegantly
attired lady on the occasion. There is
no eulogism of millinery. It was as much
superior to some modem weddings as re
ality is superior to sham. Love made
all the feast. The com heap of Boaz was
chaff and hie money dross to this. They
loved! Is not that enough? Oh! happy,
thrice happy state! Such love as theirs
would make the richest marriage music,
echoing the grand Psalms of heaven.
May your desire, ladies and gentlemen,
find true expression in v^rds like these:
“ And may our love ne'er be a trailing robe,
To clog our feet along our heavenward way,
But a warm garment for our daily use;
Marriage i§ bnt for earth, but hofy love
Will lire in heaven. Let ne ever strive
To grow more like God—for God i* love!"
Thus ends our familiar narration and
exposition of this delightful story—this
lovely painting of Hebrew domestic life.
We have only touched it, but it is a flow
er that has lost none of its sweetness by
our handling—a fruit from the tree of
knowledge which must ever keep in
bloom.

says, “Go not to glean in another field,
neith-er go from hence, but abide here fast
by my maidens ; let thine eyes Ire on the
field that they do reap, and go thou after
them. Have I not charged the young
men that they shall not touch thee ? And
when thou art athirst go unto the vessels
and drink of that which the young men
have drawn.
What a gentleman farmer this man Bo
az is! How sensitive, how thoughtful
and how delicate in his manner of offer

osity, sometimes, of a man's nature, and
contrariwise. You may give a loved one

'I would give you Paradise if I had it.'
He had heard of all her kindness to her
mother-in-law. He did not content him-
seif with fine utterances; he gave sub
stantial proof of his sincerity. He prac
tices a little harmless deception and gives
orders that she is to glean among the
sheaves. I like this pleasant bit of fic
tion. I do not know whether Boaz knew
what was the matter with himself—the
ladies present know. Was it a case of
love at first sight? I do not know, but
I have heard of such cases and believe in
them. Boaz was not a dandy and could
not have been won by superficial quali
ties ; with mincing, frivolous, flirting airs;
he did not belong to that class of

The whole world is in conspiracy to

We see through a glass darkly. The
matrimonial lottery is extremely hazardous
yet men do occasionally draw prizes. The
persons of young ladies are as well fitted
to deceive us as their manners. No one
for years past would be astonished or an
noyed if told that the tresses of his lady

such artifices; the falsities are not confin
ed to hair, and it would be impossible to
conjecture where the limits end. There

John Wesley’s Health Hales.
This great apostle wrote upon many
subjects. Health was prominent among
them. He published a work under the
title of “Primitive Physic; or, an Easy
and Natural Method of Curing Most
Diseases.” From his simple rides the
following are selected:
Pure air is very important.
Tender people should have those who
lie with them, or are much about them,
sound, sweet and healthy.
All persons ambitious of good health
should be as clean as possible in their
house, furniture and clothes.
The great rule in food is to suit toe
quality and quantisy to no digestion. All
pickled, smoked, salted and high-seasoned
food is unwholesome.
Nothing conduces more to health than
abstinence and plain food, with due labor.
For studious persons, about eight ounces
of animal and twelve of vegetable food in
twenty-four-horns is sufficient
Water is the most wholesome of all
drinks, most quickens the appetite and
strenthens the digestion. Strong, and
more especially spirituous liquors, are a
certain though slow poison. Experience
shows there is no manner of danger in
discontinuing them at once.
Coffee and tea are extremely injurious
to persons with weak nerves.
Tender persons should eat ouly a very
light supper, and that full two or three
hours before going to bed. Such persons
ought to retire to bed invariably by nine
o’clock, and rise from four to five in the
morning.
Walking is the best exercise for those
who are able to bear it, and riding is the
best for those who are not able to bear
walking. We may strengthen any weak
part of the body by constant exercise.
Thus the lungs may be strengthened by
loud speaking or by walking up an ascent,
the digestion and nerves by riding, the
arms and hands by strongly rubbing them
daily.
The fewer clothes any one uses by day
or night (provided he is kept warm), the
hardier he will be.
Exercise should never be taken on a
full stomach, it should never be continued
to exhaustion, and when we are done, we
should be careful uot to cool off too sud
denly.
The flesh-brush is highly beneficial,
especially in stimulating a part which
is cool and inactive. Cold bathing is a
great advantage to health. It prevents
many diseases, promotes respiration,
accelerates the circulation of the blood,
and secures against colds.
AH violent and Budden passions dis
pose people to acute diseases. Slow
and lasting passions, such as grief and
hopeless love, bring on chronic disea
ses.

JOHN AT SALT LAKE.
A ■Iam*r*n*!JDr«rriptian at the City *f the
Maiats.
It is just two days’ run from San
Francisco to Salt Lake City, but if you
.should personally undertake to run in
two days,’ you’d find it takes two weeks
—that’s on foot. They manipulate pic«<
torial pasteboard on the cars. The game
requires only three cards. You bet on
the jack, and you’ll find that you turn up
a jack—a jackass. In playing this game,
the rule that applies to Napoleon on the
white horse, “You pays your money and
you takes your choice,” is reversed, and
you takeB your choice and pays your
money.
To get to Salt Lake City, you leave the
Union Pacific at Ogden, and take the
Utah Central railroad, and then take a
drink, and then you ride thirty-eight
miles, and there you are.
Salt Lake City has a population of
about 22,000. The first party of pros
pectors, less than 200 in number, and
headed by Brigham Young, reached
here in 1847. Five hundred more arrived
the following year. The city is laid out
in squares, formed by very broad streets.
It has several good hotels.
The Tabernacle is the biggest meeting
house I ever got inside of. It is just
the shape of a wire butter cover. It will
hold over 13,000 people. Prairie schoon
ers used to be plenty in this section, but
only one brig has ever arrived at this port,
and that is Brig-ham. He is the boss of
the town. It tidies a big piece of calico
to dress his wife. There is a section of
this country known as the Banana Belt,
and that is the only belt long enough to
go around Mrs. Brigham Young all at
once. He mnst keep a tin-horse power
donkey engine to mix hash for his family:
How a donkey engine can be horse power
I bequeath to your readers as a rebus for
them to solve.
The city is situated in the lovelest valley
I ever saw, overshadowed by the Wahsatch
range of mountains, their peaks visible,
capped with snow the year around. The
climate is wonderfully mild. About two
miles from the center of the city, and
owned by it, is a warm sulphur spring.
Swimming bath houses have been erected,
and a swim in that sulphur water is a
positive luxury. Still further out from
the city are the hot springs. An egg will

will two eggs. Uncle Samuel has a mili
tary camp near the city. There is one
very large business house here. It is
called Zion’s Co-operative Mercantile
Institution.
Salt Lake is some miles from the city.
I visited it. The name is apropos. It
isn’t necessary to embalm a man to make
him keep if he has ever been soaked in
that water. One teaspoonful once a day
taken internally would turn a man into
corn beef in less than a week. Mashed
potatoes dropped into the lake come up
codfish balls inside of three minutes, and
an old boot leg becomes a mackerel in
two hours. Three barrels of water make
one barrel of salt—that is according to
chemical analysis. My judgment, unsup
ported, would lead me to suppose, from
t.agfing it, that one barrel of water would
make three barrels of salt. Its buoyancy

Feaz with Corn and Oats with

As a rule, one crop on the ground at a
time is enough, and all crowding is un
profitable. As a partial exception, we
advise peas with corn, and in some cases
the small grains with cotton, as they

nal crop has ceased to require the soil,

year on tins point: “Oats may be sown
at the last working of tho cotton, no ex
tra labor being required, except the broad
casting of the seed between the rows, in
advance of the ploughs; bnt oats sown
so early in the season require to be fed
off before the final picking of the cotton,
to prevent them from prematurely throw
ing up the seed stem. Sheep do this
work, with groat benefit to themselves
and with no damage to the cotton, pro
vided, of course, that they are turned out
as soon as the oats are well cropped.
Wheat, sown later, requires to be covered
with the plough or cultivator. During
the winter, the cotton stalks must be
broken down, when the grain will have
full possession of the field. This plan
has been found to work well, when the
land has been in good condition and is
worthy of a more extensive trial, where
labor and mule-power are scarce; but it
does not permit that thorough prepara
tion of the land necessary to the best re
sults in small grain culture."—Rural
Carolinian for July.
The Sngrlish Sparrow for the Cotton
Worm.
The English sparrow is being intro
duced into the South with tho hope that
it will destroy the cotton caterpillar, as it
has the worms on the trees of New York
and Brooklyn. Ten years hence, how to
get rid of the birds, will probably be the
question. That is what they are now dis
cussing in Australia, where the sparrows,
having driven off the native birds, and
taken fall possession, are now destroying
the fruits of the colonists to an alarming
extent. “Out of the frying pan into the
tire,” is not considered a good move.—
Rural Carolinian for July.
The only Tom Collins joke worth print
ing was made at a New England college:
Collins was announced to speak in the
chapel. The President, angry that the
arrangements should have been made
without consulting him, placed an injunc
tion on the lecture, locked the door, and
stood guard over it for a somewhat
lengthy season, to the infinite amusement
of the boys."
