PYLE Baccalaureate Sermon. Text.— 'Holding faith and a tfood conscience, which ►oine have put awuy, coiieenilng faith have made shipwreck.' —I Timothy, I., 19. The figures used by the writers of the Bible are intensely interesting ; there arc more than this, very real istic, and wisely suggestive, writer of the whole canon verifies this fact more strikingly than the ppostle Paul. When Paul wrote these practical, pastoral letters to the young Timothy, or from whence they were written, we have no defi nite data to determine ; but we are safe in assuming that it was near the close of his most eventful life. Look ing back then over that wonderful ly varied experience for some ex pressive illustration of the lesson he would teach his young pupil, he, very naturally, we think, fulls upon his terrible experience upon the deep in the autumn of '02. For fourteen days,—the fierce Eurocly don blowing, and neither suns nor stars appearing—he had beeu tos sed up and down the angry sea of Adria, the vessel a mere plaything before the gale. It was little else than a miracle that the passengers and crew had been saved, for the ship was shivered to pieces on tho rocks of Melita, and only by clinging to boards and broken spars of tho vessel did they ultimately get safe to land. Nor was thiB the only ex perience of this kind with which the apostle had met. In writing his letter to the church at Corinth, and enumerating tho perils through wfiich he had passed, he makes mention of "perils of the sea" which lie had already encountered, and stated that "thrice he had suffered shipwreck." Doubtless in tho course of his missionary wanderings he had inadb a number of sea voyages, and had been an eye witness of more than one maritime disaster. Still, as upon that fine August morn ing, the proudAlexandrian ship sail ed out of the harbor of Myra, I can readily imagine that Paul and his fellow passengers had little thought of the terrible experience they were going to meet with. There is to my mind something very grand, and I never tire looking at the sight of a noble merchantman, with sails set, leaving our shores for its ocean voy age. There is not a prettier sight to be seen than such. No "A Btately ship, am! tackle trim, With all lier bravery Sails tilled, and streamers waving, Courted by all the winds that held them play." The sight for the moment disarms the very thought of danger, well nigh forget her liability to wreckage, as we gaze upon her ele gant proportions, when as a very thing of life, like a milk-white swan arching its proud neck over the wa ters of some placid lake, she floats gaily out upon the azure main. But who may reckon up the dan gers and difficulties with which she may have to contend before she drops anchor in What tempests may bawl around her ! what We foreign port ? may break over her l bow her masks may weak and groan, and be carried away ! bow Iter sails may bo torn to very shreds before tho angry winds and bow, little else titan a mere chip deep site rides ungovernablo in the trough of the roaring sea ! Yes, we all know that in a single nightsome gallant ship may be shattered to pieces on the rocks and disappear, whilst in tho morning not a bubble is left to mark the spot where site went down. Are we transgressing the the hounds of probability in suppos ing that some such contrast was forcing itself upon the mind of Paul when he wrote to Timothy the;. . words ot our text ? He was writing i I ! to u young man of excellent prinei- ! pies and decided religious character, | a youth who possessed both a sound ! faith and a good conscience ; and yet the old saint, and skilled teach er did not think it utiiiss to sound . ., 1 , „ ;i in the ears ot his beloved pupil a , . i .. . i; word ot warning ; and in obedience . . .. ... ill * to the excellent example he has set us, wo desire to direct your alien lion Li tins time, lo an old ami some what hackneyed theme, and yet one the importance of which it is im possible to overestimate. This sub jeet is, A Good Conscience. Every conscience of some kind; | body hi but would not give a farthing for u cartload of such as too many men seem to possess in this our day. There arc hud consciences, evil con sciences, so it is not every con science that is a good conscience. But what is a gcod conscience ? Well that is n big question, and one which to answer correctly und clearly would require considerable time. One which may and is answered in various ways? Negatively we may suy we do not believe that it is what sÇîikcKpearü had in mind when lie Biiid "Conscience makes cowards of us all.'' A good conscience never made a coward of any man. Nor would we use the word in a strictly philosophical sense as merely ex pressing an attribute of being. It is such, for we know full well thatmen hear the whisper of conscience even prior to the adoption of a definite faith. In matters of spiritual navi gation the compass is fixed before the convass is spreap. There are doubtless thoroughly conscientious mon, or perhaps we had better say those who think themselves such, who arc yet unbelievers. Paul him self said before thecounsel, in speak ing of his own condition prior to his- conversion, that during that time he "lived in all good con science before God." But rising a step higher we may define con science to be the testimony or se cret judgment of the soul, giving its approbation to actions that are good and reproaching it with actions that are ovil. It is that within us which pronouncos upon the moral charac ter of our actions, and which pro nounces upon the moral character of our actions, and which approves or censures, justifies or condemns us accordingly It has been spoken of as the holy of holies within us—the sacred throne where God himself is enshrined. But no matter what de finition we may adopt, we find that it is a something born in every man. As soon as intelligence begins and reason dawns, it gives evidence of its evistence. If the issue of Eden's porbation had been other than it was, we had never had occasion to use in speaking of this thing, con science, the qualifying and qualita tive word "good." But now that in ward monitor may be crushed, may be perverted, may be bribed, may be benumbed, and then it becomes a bad conscience, like a will-o'-the wisp, leading men astray. It is clearly manifest then to all, that the very first condition to the possession of a good conscience, is enlightened intelligence. In a sense we may say that the conscience is a kind of intelligence ; but sin has filled the mind of man with darkness, and crowded the chamber of conscience with the mists of guilty ignorance. Since Adam and Eve were driven out of Paradise, man's conscience has noeded guidance and instruc tion, in a word,—light. This is evin ced by the fact that it may and often does bear false testimony, and pronounces erroneous judgment. Ergo the man who would possess a good conscience must use every a vuilable means to secure the fullest and most accurate information in regard to all the questions whicl come up for adjudication at this moral tribunal. Two things are to be especially guarded against, viz., ignorance and error. Ignor unce ot wind moral law really .s and error as to its application. The heathen mother casting lier child to the reptiles of tl.e Gangos in ignor ancc of the true teachings of the law, and yet she is guilty. Paul as be started 011 his murderous errand to r 11 • Damascus was following an erring 1 , ... 1 conscious, and was alike wrong; , ,. , . . ... and so we find too many in this our , ... , .... . day, wishing anil willing to eall themselves by that noble Christian, need instruction upon many points relating to matters of morals. Behind the flimsy screen of ignorance or error or some other thing equally cobwebby, they seek to excuse themselves for the every day petty falshoods of trade, commerce, society and politic not do; these thing if men do not know so, they must ... , . , . .. be enlightened; and to whom shall ... ..... we look tor the promulgation ot tins grand work of instruction, if not to But it will c wrong ; and the conscientious, Christian young men of America?

Robertson of Brighton, speak ing of the education of Moses right ly praises the work of his patroness: "Thirty-five hundred years ago an Egyptian princess took a man's ! child and taught it. The result of I that education is not over yet. Com- j pare the influence of Pharaoh's I daughter with that of Pharaoh him self. He ruled an empire. Pyra mids could and did rise at his bid ding. His skeleton is in somo pyra mid. Nothing else remains. To rule a single heart, to form and guide a child's mind, is the grand est sway. The teacher is greater than the king. The king rules without, the teacher rules within. What is this ; our want of education of the young. Education is to un fold nature, to strengthen good and conquer evil ; to give self-help; to make a man. The end of educa tion must be to teach us how to live rightly. And let us say, we cannot completely seculiarize education el iminating from man his heart, soul, conscience belief and aspirations. What we want is men, mrinysidedi full-orbed. It is sublime to know— to investigate, to philosophize, to master languages, sciences, arts— but whatGod and man want to know of the business dealer, lawyer, phy sician, mechanic, is, is he manly? Has he manliness ? Is he honorable, trustworthy, conscientious? I do believe we have all need to have morals taught in the primary and higher grades of our most excellent public shools. Why wait till senio r year at college to teach boys and girls, "ethics?" As another lias well put it, we would have sin hated worse than syntax corrupt; loose lives abominated more than loose sentences; a lie avoided more than Latin misconstrued; bud associations feared more than bad grammar. We would have our youth believe that a whole heart is more than a whole number; the formation of character more than the formation of char acters; apd putting proper emphasis on conduct, more than getting right Greek accents. We would have them know that the Ten Command ments are as important as the ten digits, honesty as history, purity as physics, chivalry as chemistry. We would teach them that there are other things pure besides pure math ematics, other things right besides right angels, other tilings vulgar be sides vulgar fractions, other things base besides base lines. (Rev. Levi Gilbert.) But a second thtng which we shall name as an element in the production of a good conscience, is purity. Purity of heart; purity of life. purity. Its very essence is impurity. The Devil knows this better than any many living, and so he works it for all that is in it. The pernici ous influence and effects of the dam nable poison sown broadcast over our land to-dav ns thick and fast as Guilt is a synonym of îm autumn leaves b» fore a driving wind, is but proof positive of the truth of our assertion.

Consumed air is vitiated air, the volume of oxygen is reduced, carbonic acid is in excess. The stable is full of organic impuri ties given oft' by the skin and the lungs. Ventilation is found in all weli-regulated stables, and draughts are unknown, or ought to be. Good grooming is demanded under stable management and in fast work. The brush as a rule, should follow the direction of the hair, except when dirt and sweat are caked onto the coat ; then you require to go against the lie of the coat. Good grooming shortens the coat, gives a gloss and develops physical force. Horse foil largely on other foods demand less hay, but hay is useful in distending the stomaci, and thus assisting digestion. From six to four teen pounds daily ; the average use is ten pounds in many stables. To maintain hunting or racing condi tion, old hay is essential. Clover, vetches and trifolium are laxative and cooling, and excellent for the invalid horse or the young ster. They should be given sparing ly, at the oarly part of the season. Green forage should never be given to horses in fast work, except on Sunday nights. The horse may be trusted to gauge his thirst, except on occasions of ex treme exertion. That horses are the better for being watered before being fed is an admitted fact with all veterinary surgeons. Colic and gripes are thus avoided. The ex planation given is this : When the stomach is full of water, ' passing rapidly through the stomach, on the way is very apt to carry with it in to the small intestines undigested corn, and this produces local irrita tion There is less danger in water ing a horse aciively warm than when the system is somewhat lower ed. Soft water is better for all stock and on no account let horses drink dirty water ; it is most objection able. Pure air is is of as Good plowing is the foundation of good crops. Tilings to be avoided ; Scrub stock, scrub crops, and scrub families. Sulphur dusted over the seed pieces after they are deposited into the* furrows is said to prevent scab. The damage done to fruit trees by rabbits, borers,.and insects, may be prevented by applying pine to the bodies of the trees. Warm the tar and apply with a brush. Frequent and thorough cultiva tion is generally fully as effective in protecting vegetable (liants against iujuiy from drought, as the best mulch most carefully applied. Toads are the policeman of tho garden. They speedily transport insect depredators to a (dace where they will do no more harm. And this interior jail is quite capacious. Sprinkling garden vegetables or vegetable plants is of no account. If you want to water them, give the ground a thorough soaking—after wards mulch or keep well cultivated.

Will you please tell mo how soon after mating the for setting ? No fixed rule can be given, but the usual practice is to wait until the fifth egg after the male is added to the flock. If the lions have been without a male then we should pect the third to be fertilizer, lint if vill I mi ready ex not, we surely should wait until the fifth or sixth. Very much will here depend on the vitality and vigor of the fresh male. i Are fourteen hens too mate with one cockerel to many to secure best results ? I Tes, unless tlie stoek is Leghorns I They being mucli more active are usually in healthier condition when the breeding season opens than the larger varieties. For I'lymoth Itocks or Brahmas eight or ten hens are enough to put with one cockerel. If the eggs are found to be well- fertal ized and the male specially vigorous to more may be added. It is not the number of eggs that we may get in a day from our breeding pens that tells the story, but th c number that are fertilized. Do scraps ever act as physic? Yes when fed in excess they pro duce irritation, because they cannot be perfectly digested, and this leads to a weakened condition of the bowels. Will scraps satisfy the fowels' need of meat, or is fresh meat much better ? Three per cent, of beef scraps in the cooked ration daily is a good proportion for the hens and a suffi cient amount. If one can get sheep's heads to pound they will be found valuale, but any quantity of fresh meat will work injury. The whole question hinges on balancing the ration to the demands of the individ ual animal. Meat is good, but an ex cess works injury because it cannot all be digested, and undigested food is the cause of many forms of diseas es. There is no one article of food that is complete in itself. Give the hens a variety, supply then con- • stantly with poultry bone and ground oystershells. Feed what they need, and hot what they crave, be cause of the abnormal appetites cre ated by over indulgence, and the hens will furnish tho eggs.
