SLEEP.
When day lias doffed her be’mcnt bright,
And darkness shrouds lief bceming light,
Then steal I from my mystic home,
And o’er the dgrklmg world I roam.
1 touch all eyes with gentle hand ;
All sense I lull; at my Command
The fair flowers close tlicir blossom lips;
Back to his nest the songster slips;
The chattering child to dreamland hies ;
The moouiug lover listless lies.
Tired labor drinks new life from me,
Till heavenward, from land and soa,
To hail the rosy day again,
I hie me from the haunts of meu.

HIS NEW YEAR’S RECEPTION.
Taknage’s Hand Shaken
For an Hour in the
Tabernacle.
“It is only a few hours ago.”
said the Rev. Dr. Talmage yes
terday morning, “that at mid
night the doors of eternity open
ed and let in to pass down the
great avenue of departed cen
turies the sou! of the dying year.
Twelve strokes of the brass ham
mer of the city clock and the
old patriarch fell dead, and the
stars of night were the funeral
torches.
“Fifty-two times has the clock
struck for the week, each week
with the golden, border of a
Christmas Sabbath. How many
marriage garments. have been
woven ? How riiAtty graves dug !
How many fortunes' made ? How
many victories .wotlj How many
defeats experienced ? How many

souls lost ? Year of assaSsihation,
and Iliumph of eonflageration
and harvest. AVe have garlands
of amaranth and of cypress—(lie
amaranth for joy and llie cypress
for grief—and 1 put a garland on
the brow ol (lie dead old year.
Right beside llie grave of Hie
dead year is the cradle of (he
new. This season is to me lull of
suggestions. If I live until next
Saturday I shall be 50 years old,
and if I live until next Friday 1
shall be keeping the first anni
versury*bf my soils death.
“The year has been a perpet
ual harvest home to this church.
I have tried to be worthy of your
confidence and love—not by
sycophancy or by consulting your
prejudices, but by preaching
straightforward Gospel, whoever
it may hit. When a minister
stand before a congregation who
don’t believe in him, his useful
ness is done. I knew one minis
ter of religion who had four
charges. The first two became
extinct, the result of his minis
try. The third was absolutely
| crippled. The fourth was saved
|by the fact ihat the minister de
parted this life. On the other
hand, there ore pastorates which
continue strengthening year af
fer year. .Such were those of
old Dr. Spenser and Gardiner
Spring.
“We have during the past
year, in this congregation, tried
and shall try in years to come,
the spirit of Christian sociality.
There are churches where people"
go and sit down as they would in
a ferryboat, sine by side, with no
idea of recognition, or grasping
of the hand, or brotherly affec
tion. They are simply ferried
over by Christ’s ordinances.
They behave like a man saved
from a shipwreck, who walks up
the beach to the fisherman’s
hut, and sits down to warm him
self, utterly reckless that there
are fifty men struggling in the
surf. The church ought to be
a great home circle and the pu!
pit a fireside. Fish go to schools,
flowers to beds, and the stars in
galaxies. Let ail who worship
the Lord in churches move to
get her.
“In the past year 1 have tried
to preach to von practical reli
gion. I know that, you are busi
ness men and women. There is no
need of my dealing with abslrac
tions wiien you have your annoy
ances, perplexities, and aspera
tions. I don’t care so much
about the Hilfit os and the Jeb
usites and the Gazites as I do for
your personal needs. Suppose
you have the diptheria ? A phy
sician does not come in such a
case and prescribe the cure for
the smoll pox. So in religion
there are specifies for every ill.
“I knew a man who had helped
many men out of their troubles.
By aiul by his time came.
Where were the people he had
helped ? Gone in the country;
not at home. Some came in and
said, ‘God bless you.’ Honest,
practical, influential help would
have been worth fifty tons ol
‘God bless you.’ Nothing makes
a man so mad as to siv to him
‘God bless you’ when it is you
who ought to biess him.
“I once knew a Christian man
who got into business trouble
He was worth hundreds ot thou
sands one day and not a cent the
next. He said, ‘Everything is
gone.’ I said to him: Who built
the fence around Hie village
church? Who gave $3,000 to
build the church ? It is not all
gone. Y’on have made an invest
ment for eternity.’ ” ••
At the close of the sermon Dr.
Talmagc announced to his con
gregution that since, he would be
prevented this year from receiv
ing hie friends in the usual way.
, he Would Ihen receive at the end
ot the plaiforni ail who wished to
greet him. In response to this
announcement a very large por
tion of tne congregation remain
ed and passed i:i procession be
fore Dr. ialmage, shaking him
bv the hand and wishing him a
happy New Tear. In this wav
nearly an hour was spent. —New
York Sun.
Gilt-Edged Butter.
It does not pay to make poor
i butter. Oleomargarine, seine or
butterine will outsell it everv
lime, and Hte maker has no right
lo complain it these imitations
i bring a heller price ilian the
apology for the butter he offers.
But what is the use of making
poor butler? It is true tiiat everv
one cannot make an A 1 article
ot gilt edged butter, but ordina
rily with the right sort of appli
ances, and with care and common
intelligence, butler of fine quali
ty may be produced by any one.
There is, of course, vast differ
ence between the milk of differ
ent cows. The butter globules,
it is claimed, are firmer in the
milk ol the Jersey cow than of
natives, or indeed of any other
breed, and the butter is therefore
firmer in (ex'ure. But this fact
is against the keeping quality of
Jersey butter unless more labor
and care are used in working and
salting it. as it. doos not as readi
ly retain salt. Jersey butter
should be used or consumed
while fresh, as then its superior
flavor is secured.
Cleanliness is indespensable in
making a fine, salable qnalty ol
butter. The fine nutty-flavored
butter so eagerly sought is made
only where cleanliness is con
spicuous. The food has more or
j less to do with (he milk, and at
| iho season when grass is liable
!to fad from continuous dry
' weather, those who followed our
! suggestions in the spring and
I put in evergreen, sweet corn and
other suitable kinds for mid
summer feeding lo cows, are no
doubt deriving much benefit
from it.
Passing by the handling of the
milk and cream, which has (re
qnently been treated of in out
columns of late, the next thing
to be careful aoout is lo preserve
the granules entire, as near as
may be. The salt used should be
clean and fine, and free from
lumps, so that it will dissolve
quickly and mingle with the but
ler grains. The butter should
not be nermitled lo stand expos
ed to the air for the fault lo dis
solve, tor it is liable to injury in
this way. Nor should it be work
ed too much, as tlie butter grains
are thus broken.
The bei-t butter—gilt-edged
is made from cream taken from
ibe milk while it is sweet, or Be
fore acidity has been developed.
The practice formerly was to
skim a pan of milk until it was
clabbered. When alt the cream
is thrown up. the sooner it is re
moved the better. If it stands
longer the flavor generally is in
jured by tiie acidity. The proper
temperature —that, which has
been found by experiment to be
the best—for churning cream, is
from 55 lo CO degrees.—Ameri
can Farmer

The St. Paul Railroad Company lavs
gained a lawsuit hi the United States court
that presents a curious feature. A young
utan was walking on the track of the road,
when he was run over and killed, and his
relatives sued the company for #IO,OOO
damage's. Judge Love, in deciding the case,
Held that the young man had no business
| walking on other people's property, while
[ the railroad company did have business
j running Us trains there; that a railroad
|is not a public highway but a piece of
: private property, and people must not
tresjmss.—Detroit Free Press-
The Cost of the Guiteau Comedy,
Now that the trial of the assas
| sin gives some promise of draw
ing loa close, some individuals
! of leisure are figuring up the cost
of the farce of the Treasury,
i Ihe v nut it all the way from
j #IOO,OOO to $300,000. To Judge
Porter and Mr. Davidgo, who are
i retained lor the prosecution, they
j assign llie comfortable fee of $25,
| 000, each.
Next will come Hie demands of
lihe official stenographers, who
i have made verbatim reports of
i the proceedings and furnished
i the District Attorney with fifteen
I copies every morning, for all
1 wit ,-h they will expect from $lO,
• 00*.,q $15,000. About two hun
! dred witnesses have been sum
j >oued, and the witness fees will
| be very heavy, especially those
jot Hie twenty five experts called
■ for the prosecution, who will re
ceive not only the usual allow
ance and mileage, hut the value
j they put on their services during
j Hie days, a id even weeks, which
they have given to the case.
Ihen there is the maintenance of
the assassin, the pay of extra bai
-1 ffs, printing and a hundred in
cidentals. To all who must be
1 added, in the now generally ex
; pecteil event of conviction, the
I expenses of ihe execution.
The gossips may be extrava
| gant iu their figures, but it does
| look as if Hie minimum expenses
j would reach a round hundred
j thousand. And then some sapi
j ent juror may stick to it that
jGui'eauisa veritable crank, in
j which event anew trial would
j present another bill. — Savannah

Immigration f
During the year which ended
j with lasi June 669,431 immigrants
arrived in the United Stales.
The number of foreigners who
| sought homes in Hie Republic
during those twelve months was.
I threreiore, greater bv from twer,
' ty thousand to forty five thou
sand than the whole population
i of Maine or of Connecticut.
The arrivals for the year far
j exceeded even those of 1873.
when the largest immigration of
j life past occurred. The total ilieu
j was 459.503. For the last year it
was more than two hundred thou
sand greater.
Yet this unparalied immigra
lion is pretty certain lo be cast
into Hie shade by that of the fis
cal year in which we now are.
Since the beginning of July the
arrivals of each month have much
, exceeded those of corresponding
j months of ISS2, and the indica
tions ate that when we reach ihe
most active months for immigra
tion next spring we shall find
: them still increasing.
That is, it is prooable that tiie
number of new settlers Horn
abroad, landed here between
July 1. IS9O, and July 1. 1881. 18-
82, will be hard on one million
and a half. A few more years of
immigration at a rate so unexam
pled will rapidly swell the popu
lation of the tar Western States
Territories, to whi h the foreign'
ers chiefly tend, so that by 1890
the number of people living be
vend Ihe Mississippi is likely to
be double what it was in 1880,
Of the immigrants arriving,
the greatest number, or nearly a
third ot Hie total, continue to
come from Germanv Between
one-fourth and one fifth are irom
Great Britain and Ireland, and
about one-ninth from Scandina
via.— Christian Index.

A Hint from the Gardener.
As we see the city f s parks and
pleasure grounds decked in that
1 glory of bloom and fragrance
which makes them so marvelous
( :n their season, when one revela
tion of loveliness succeeds anotti
\er like beads upon a rosafy of
; beauty, how little we realize the
oarefal and careless preparation
which has been required to make
i them what they are. Like Patti’s
; voice or Wieniawski’s violin tones
jor Rnbinstem’s music, the effect
j is so marvelous and so perfect
j that it seems the spontaneous
outpourings of a heaven born gift
rather than Hie culmination of
long years of labor and aoplica
tion. We know, ot course, in a
vauge way, that Sowers must be
weeded and watered and trim
med while preaching from their
! sweet texts, but we forget the
| Sudden work which prepared the
I sermon. I understood something
i°f it the other day, when, walk
ing through the interminable al
leys on hot houses,[ saw on either
hand hundreds of thousands of
tiny plants, lovingly watched and
tended, gaining strength for thtf
ouen air campaign which was t
begin ino's later on. The tender
handling and absorbing interest
which the care-takers showed,
the pride in their good points
and healthy look.-, the enthusi
' asm with which any new combi
■ nation of color or qnality was
1 hailed, the infinite delicacy of
i loach with which their imperfec
tions were noted, made them
; seem more like living beings
than belonging to inanimate nat
ure. And it devotion can be re
paid by the well-being of its ob
ject, then the City Forester and
l;:s merry men must be richly re
warded. I could not help but
think, if we studied as carefully
tiie tiny human offshoots which
are to propagate the great race,
if we catered thus wisely and lov
■ ingly to tiie needs of growing
1 body and opening soul, if we
j steeped them in sunshine, and
j noted, to correct or intensify,
‘ their bias, ti.eir weekness, their
strength, and their individual
charicters, if we pruned or pra
. tected, grafted or retarded, as
each case requ ; red, instead of
! pushing al! under one high pres
| sure system of warmth and stini
j illation, in how few generations
\ there would arrive the millen
: nium of that immortal trans
! planted life which “cometh up as
! a flowers.’*— Jf. E. J>, in Boston

The municipal authorities of
I ihe large cities are causing offi
cial inspection to be made of all
theatres and other public halls,
for the purpose of ascertaining
Whether their cons 1 ruction is such
as to allow immediate and suffi
cient egress to an audience in
case of a fire.
No public half should be
ed to be built which has not
broad and easily accessible exits,
bv which the entire audience
could reach the streets within
five minutes. All halls that do
not come up to this standard
should be closed by law, and not
opened until the necesary chang
es have been made. The Vienna
horror should not be allowed to
lift up its ghastly hand of warn
ing in this respect in vain. Let
all civilized communities heed
tiie lesson so fearfully impressed
upoti the chronicles of the day
with blood and fire. Human be
ings, crowded by thousands into
public edifices, should not be left
henceforth to the mercy of penu
rous landlords or blundering and
incompetent architects.— Chris
