Rock of
Ilock of Aze*, cleft for me,
Let me hide myse'f in thee !”
Sant the lady, soft and low.
And her voice's gentle flow
Rose upon the evening air
With that sweet and solemn prayer
“Rock of Ages, deft tor me.
lxt tne hide myself In thee!”
Yet she sang as oft she had
When her heart was gay and glad,
Sang because she frit alone,
Sang because her soul had grown
Wiary with the tedious day;
SaDg to while the hours away.
“Rock of Ages deft for me,
Let me hide myself In thee!”
Where the fitful gaslight falls
On her father's maasrve walls,
On the chill and ailent street
Where the lights and shadows meet;
There the lady's voice wae heard,
As the breath of night was stirred
With her tonne so sweet and dear,
Wafting up io <od that prayer
' Ko< k of Ages cleft for me.
Let tne hide myself In thee!'.
Wandering, homeless thro' the night,
Praying for the morning light,
Pale and haggard, wan and weak.
With sunken eyeand hollow ( heck,
Went a wnritas., one whose life
Had been wrecked in sin and strile,
One, a lost and only child.
One by sin and shame defiled ;
And net heart with sorrow wrung,
Heard the lady when she sung
“Rock of Ages, deft for me,
la*t me hide myaell tn the* 1”
Pausing, low her head she bent,
And the music as it went
Pierced her blackened soul, and brought
Har k to her (as lost in thought
Tremblingly, she stood) the Past,
And the burning tears fell fast,
As she caller! to mind the days
When she walked in virtue's way*
When she sang that very song
With no sens* of sin or wrong
“Rock of Agea, cleft for tne
l>et in* hid* myaelf in thee
on the marble steps she knelt,
And her aoul that moment, felt
More than she could speak, as there
Quivering, moved her llj* in prayer,
And the (jod iba had forgot
Rrniled upon her lonely lot ;
Heard her aa she murmured oft,
With an accent sweet and soft,
“Rock of Agea, deft for roe,
I*\ mi* hide myself in thee !"

The approach to the house should come

In fitting up a place, difficulties are
often experienced. We want a grassy
lawn, and we want trees, but trees will
not grow well in grass. It is best, there
fore, to plant the trees first, and cultivate
the ground in hoed crops for several years,
until the tree gets a good start before
needing down. Small fenced-in yards
should he avoided—they give your place
a contracted, pinched-up look. Fences
should not be used more than is abso
lutely necessary. The garden ground,
however, may Im> included with the house

be made of some light kind, that will

The following is from the Cos s|>erH
tive News, Rnglnnd: At a public
meeting held in Chittenlmm, Mr Sar
gent, of (ilouoester. in addressing the
meeting, referring to the civil service
co-operation*, said they were not
the only cO-operatort who were doing
a large business in Ixjndon. There was
a society that was doing a trade of from
£200,000 to £SOQ.OOO }x>r annum. The
parent society, which was in Manches
ter, was doing a business of more than
two millions per annum; as a conse
quence, they were able to purchase
their goods in the best markets in the
world. Under these advantageous cir
cumstances it was almost an impossi
bility for small tradesman to be able to
compete in the open market against
such a combination of numbers and
capital as this gigantic society com
mands He then went on to say that
oo ->![>c ration did not stop here. The eo
oj>erators ol Kngland and Wales were
amalgamated with the Patrons of Hus
bandry and the grangers of the Missis
sippi valley, one of the richest, most
fertile and productive in the world. He
explained that it was in contemplation
to unite with those grang-ers. and said
the produce of the Mississippi valley
w.’sao abundant that *>me ol the pro
ducers promi-ed that they would read
ily give one year s crop in eight to secure
a ready market for the other seven. The
pr -due* consists of grain, wool, pork,
bniter, cheese, cotton, etc. and the
demand iu the vailev for British m.mu
f to red goods was no great that it was
pi tt y sure to real ire good prices. He
teii sanguine that this was one ot the
gtandesl schemes that had ever been s : ■
on foot, and millions on both sides of
the Atlantic would have cause to rejoice
in its success. He predicted that ere
long the co-operators would have ships
of their own bringing all the products
of that rich country and return laden
with a variety of manufactured articles
from our crowded warehouses of Bir
mingham and Sheffield.
X Few Ntnble Hint..
There are very many horses which are
made to suffer unnecessarily, or for a
prolonged period, through the want of
knowledge or neglect of the owner.
During the work season what numbers
of farm horses do we see with galled
shoulders, which keep getting worse till
the had condition of the collar and sad
dle galls makes it necessary to stop work
unfit they heal. If a horse has proper
care, no galls will lie made by collar or
saddle. The horse must be well and
regularly cleaned each day, and ttje
careful farm hand will give an^extra
rubbing off, especially during warm
weather, noon and night. Before com
mencing work the harness and collar
should he. made to fit properly ; if it is
found that the animal shows signs of
becoming galled, bathe the affected parts
two or three times a day, but not while
the animal is hot from work. And
right here we would say that we have
found that bathing the shoulders of
work horses with water during the
season of hard work, hardens the skin
and prevents any liability to become
chafed or galled. Prevention is always
preferable to cure. A galled back, on
account of the saddle being more apt t 0
chafe, is more difficulty to remedy,espec
ially in driving horses. When a driving
horse gets a sore hack under the carriage
saddle, do not pad it heavily with rags,
loosen up the bellybands, etc., expecting
a cure that way, as some do, but dis.
card the use f the saddle entirely till
the animal is entirely well, which can be
readily done by taking off the saddle,
bringing the back strap up to the top of
the harness, where it is fastened. For
“tugs” or straps to hold up the shafts,
use small straps with loops in them for
the ends of the shafts, fastening the
opposite ends of the straps to the eyes in
the harness through which the lines go.
Put on a choke strap, use a surcingle for
a belly band to keep the shafts from slid
ing up, and you have your rig complete.
Wash the effected parts of the horse
every morning with a soil sponge and
good castile soap, after which apply a
mixture of suet, fresh lard, and flower ol
sulphur until the sore heals. If the
animal’s blood is impure—which is readily
seen by the condition or appearance of
the sores---give a tablespoon ful of the
flower •( sulphur—about two or three
doses in as many different days—in a cut
mess, taking care to prevent the horse
from taking cold by driving fast anti then
neglecting to cover, for the sulphur
effects a purification of the bltsai through
the (tores of the skin.
For bruises and sprains on horses, the
best anil simplest remedy we have found
is crude coal oil, jus', as it came from the
well with a small quantity of oil of spike
mixed with it. Vigorous rubbing should
accompany the application.
Uonlnrh,, Hint. Urnss.
t it late meeting of the New York
farmers’ club, a Kentucky farmer said he
hail had a great experience in growing
blue grass —that it is one and the same
with common s|H>ar grass, varying in size
and appearance, according to the soil and
latitude in whielt it grows. The plant is
a light green color, and the spikelets are
frequently variegated with bluish purple.
It flowers iu June, but once a year,
which recommends it for lawns. The
produce is o diunrily small compared
with other grasses, but the heritage is
flue. It grows in a variety of soils from
the dryest knolls tua wet meadow, but
does not stand drouth so well as the
orchard grass. It, endures the frosts of
winter, however, better than all other
grasses, and continues luxuriant through
mild winters. Blue grass requires two
or three years to become well set, and
does not arrive at perfection as a pasture
grass till the sward is older than three
years, therefore it is not suited to alter
nate husbandry or where the land is to
remain in grass only a tew years. Blue
grass should be cut as the seeds begin to
open, spread well and protected from
rains and dews; on the second day stock,
shelter and salt.

I < >I{TY-FIFTH CONGKESS.
THE SENATE.
Washington, October 15.—The sen
atom were early in their places, and the
usual bustle attending the opening of a
•esHion prevailed.
The oath of office was administered to
Stanley Mathews, of Ohio, elected in the
place of John Sherman, resigned ; J. Don
ald Cameron, of Pennsylvania, in the
place of Simon Cameron, resigned; and
D. H. Armstrong, appointed from Mis
souri, vice L. V. Bogy, deceased.
The usual committee was appointed to
join the committee of the house and in
form the president that a quorum of the
two houses had assembled.
Adjourned until 12 o’clock to-morrow.
HOI.’SE OK REPEEBENTATIVES.
Washington, October 15.—At 12
o’clock Mr. Adams called the house to
order, read the president’s proclamation
j convening congress, and called the roll
of members bv states. When Louisiana
| was reached the clerk made the follow
j ing statement:
There were received from the state of
Louisiana credentials bearing date 20th
; December, 1876, and declaring certain
j (H-rsons elected from the first, fourth
! and sixth districts, but silent as to the
other districts. Inasmuch, however, as
John McEmery was' never de facto
governor of liouisiana, and never, in
point of fact, exercised or performed the
functions of that office, it is not deemed
necessary to make here any statement
concerning the regularity or irregularity
of the credentials coming from that
source. Another set of credentials was
signed by Wm. Pitt Kellogg, as governor
of Louisiana, with the seal of the state
attached, all bearing different dates, and
all of which reached the hands of the
clerk through different channels, de
claring i>ersons elected from each
district except the second ; as to which
district no certificate seems to have been
issued by Gov. Kellogg to anyone. The
law of Louisiana,prescribing the character
of credentials,provides that as soon as pos
sible after the expiration of the time of
making returns of the election for repre
sentatives in congress, a certificate of re
turns Hhall be entered on record by the
secretary of state, and signed by the gov
ernor, and that a copy thereof subscribed
by those officers shall lie delivered to the
persons so elected, and another copy
transmitted to the clerk of the house of
representatives. These credentials, signed
by Gov. Kellogg, are in no sense in com
pliant* with the requirements of the law
of lamisiana. They do not even purport
to be a copy of the certificates. On the
contrary, they are the simple declaration
of Gov. Kellogg that certain persons were
elected, without even stating the sources
of his information, and they no more
constitute credentials within . . the
meaning of the law of Ixiuisiana,
than a similar statement from the treas
urer or other state official would. I hey
cannot, therefore, be recognized by tfie
clerk. The other set of credentials is
i-igned by Gov. Nicholls and secretary of
state Arrago, with the seal of the state
attached. They declare persons elected
in each of the districts of Louisiana, and
conflict with the certificates signed by
Gov. Kellogg, in reference to two dis
tricts only. These credentials comply
with the law of Lousiana in every re
spect. and the clerk has accordingly
placed on the roll the names of the per-
aona contained in them.
On motion of Mr. Wwxl, the house
proceeded to the election of apeaker.
Mr. Clyiner nominated Samuel J.
Randall, and Mr. Hale nominated James
A. Garfield.
Messrs. Clymcr, Banninj', Fort and
Foster were appointed tellers, and Mr.
(’lymer announced the result: I'or
I Samuel J. Randall, 149 votes; for James
A. Garfield, 132; and Mr. Randall was
declared elected.
The speaker, before taking the chair,
said : Gentlemen of the house of repre
sentatives: —Elevated for the second
time by your generosity to the exalted
dignity of speaker of this house, 1 thank
you with a grateful heart. I shall en
deavor, with even temper, but with rigid
firmness, to perform the dot ies of the
office, and respond adequately to the
confidence reposed in me to conforming
my action to the clearly expressed will
of the house. Yet fully realizing the
delicacy and difficulty of the position, 1
solicit your advice and assistance, feeling
assured at the same time of your for
bearance and indulgence. We meet un
der circumstances imperiously demand
ing that all considerations of class and
section or party shall be subordinate to
the loftier and more patriotic object of
doing what is l>est for the whole coun
try and all its people. Since ad
journment an administration has
been inducted into office, which
is obeyed ns the actual government,
regardless of the grave events which
marked its birth. And this house, ani
mated by a true spirit of patriotism,
desiring, first, public tranquility, under
law, will frankly approve any sin' ere,
permanent policy looking to complete
pacification by constitutional methods,
and to tiie consequent promotion of the
general welfare; but it should b held
our sacred duty to provide legislation
which will render impossible a repetition
of the wrongs which have occurred, and
of the dangers which threaten us. I as
sume that we will take no step backward
in the work of retrenchment and reform
so auspiciously begun by the last house.
Under matured and definite plans of
reduction of the expenses of the govern
ment, it is certain that still greater
reductions can be made without im
pairing the efficiency of its adminis
tration. To have an honest adminis
tration it should lie frugal. Never
was it more urgent than now, with
the general financial distress and with
labor depressed with heavy bur
j dens, to exercise the sternest economy,
I when the iron rule of hard necessity
darkens every household in the land, ex
travagance on the part of the people's
servants is an unpardonable crime. It
is partly because of that wholesome pol
icy so faithfully carried out that 1 am
| permitted this day to speak from this
i place, invoking for our deliberations that
1 tolerance of opinion which secures har
! monious action, right and clear judg-
I ment. which purifies legislation, and that
mutual confidence and respect shall sub
sist betweeu the house and its presiding
officer.
I am now ready to take the oath pre
scribed by law.
The oath of office was administered to
the speaker, who then administered the
oath to the members. Most of the south
ern members took the qualified oath.
Objection was made to sw earing in of
Messrs. Gain and Rainey, of South Caro
lina. Messrs. Daily. Fly and Robertson,
of Louisiana, and Mr. Pacheco, ot Cali
fornia, and those members stood aside.
Mr. Clymer offered a resolution elect
ing as eierk. Geo. M. Adams, of Ken
tucky : sergeant-at-arms. John G. Thomp
son, of Ohio; doorkeeper, John W. Polk,
of Missouri; postmaster. James M.
Stewart, of Virginia, and as chaplain.
Rev. Dr. John Poise!, of Maryland, and
the resolution was adopted without a
division. , . . 1
The oath of office was then adminis
tered to these officers, Messrs. Stewart
and Polk taking a modified oath.
Committees were then appointed to in
form the senate of the organization of
the house, and to inform the president
that the house is ready to receive any
communication be may desire to make.
Adjourned.

The Arms of the Turks.
There seems to be seme misconception
of the American arms used by the Turks
with such effect in their contest with
Russia. The Worcester Spy points out
some of the errors into which its con
temporaries have fallen. The peculiari
ties of the Hen y-Martini rifle
are confounded with those of the
Winchester repeating rifle (heretofore
called the Henry repeating rifle), in
vented by an American army officer
named Henry. The Winchester has a
magazine under the barrel which holds
fifteen charges. The Henry-Martini
rifle was invented by Alexander Henry,
of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is his rifle,
with the Martini action ; but it can not
lie discharged sixteen times without re
loading; on the contrary, it is loaded
with a single cartridge in a metallic
case. This rifle can be fired from thirty
eight to forty times a per minute and is
celebrated for its accuracy at long range
—twenty successive shots at 1,200 yards
have been put in a target of 2j feet. It
is the Winchester that repeats without
reloading.
The Turkish army is equipped with
the Henry-Martini rifles, manufactured
by the Providence Tool company, which
has been making them for the Turkish
government for years. They are made
by no other manufacturers in the United
States, we believe. The first contract
was for 200,000; it was extended to 400,-
000, and then to 600,000, and now, ac
cording to rumor, it has been extended
to 800,000. The Tool company, for
reasons, now call the rifle the I’eabody-
Martini.
Jacob Meeker and Laura Kverett
visited Adrian, Mich., a few nights ago
and were married at midnight by a jus
tice of the peace. While the justice was
making out the certificate the jolly
Meeker said: “I have got four or five
of them tilings lying around now, some
where. Tne last wife I had didn’t keep
more than two or three years, and I shan’t
want you more than a year or two.”
Thus meekly spike Meeker to his blush
ing bride, but Mrs. Meeker was ready
with a repartee, even meeker than Meek
er’s observation. “ You needn’t worry,’
said she, “ the shoe may be on the other
hoof.”

Disease in in a great many—perhaps the
majority —of instances the underlying cause
of mental depression. It will almost invaria
bly be found, for instance,that hypochondri
acs arc dyspeptics, bilious subjects, and all
persons who have had any experience of such
cases are aware that sufferers from diseases
of the kidneys and bladder are especially
subject to fits of despondency. The sure
way to overcome depression is to try a course
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a cheering
cordial which is peculiarly antagonistic to
the “blues,” as well as to thj causes which
produce them. This popular and efficacious
corrective of a disordered condition of the
system remedies the most obstinate cases of
indigestion, biliousness and constipation,
overcomes the disorders of the uniary organs,
p untie* and enriches the blood, and restores
vigor to the body as well as elasticity to the
mind.
