No article of food has increased in general favor in the last few years so rapidly as oatmeal. A few years ago it was used almost exclusively by the Scotch and Irish with a few invalids who were looked upon by their friends either as "a little cracked" or poor unfortunates forced to do penance on account of previous transgressions. Now this highly nutritious food is found upon the breakfast table of the better classes everywhere. All first-class hotels and restaurants supply it to their patrons at least once a day. Dr. Johnson entertained a great hatred of the Scotch, and lost no opportunity of saying bitter things against them. He ones defined oats as "in Scotland, food for Scotsmen; but in England, food for horses." He was well answered by the indignant Scotsman who replied, "Yes, and where can you find such men as in Scotland, or such horses as in England?" In the "Life and letters of Macaulay" it is mentioned that Carlyle, catching a glimpse of Macaulay's face, remarked, "Well, any one can see that you are an honest, good sort of fellow made out of oatmeal." A contemporary well says, "If oatmeal can 'make' such men as Walter Scott, Dr. Chalmers, and Lord Macaulay, we may well heap high the porritch dish, and bribe our children to eat of it. One thing we do know, that is far better for the blood and brain than cake, confections, and scores of delicacies, on which many pale little pets are fed by their foolishly fond mothers. 'The Queen's Own,' a regiment of almost giants, recruited from the Scotch Highlands, are, as Carlyle said of Macaulay, 'made of oatmeal.'"
Liquor Shops Near Government Departments
THE effort of Postmaster-General Maynard to close the liquor stores opposite his department in Washington has failed, much to the disappointment of the friends of temperance in the city. The commissioners have granted the licenses against which Mr. Maynard protested, and claim that President Hayes sanctioned their action, though that statement is doubted by those who know the President's decided views on temperance questions. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says:—
“There are eight of these liquor shops opposite the Post-Office Department, and five around the Interior Department, making thirteen for the accommodation of the clerks in these two adjacent buildings. On one square opposite government property, and within sight of the State, War, and Navy Departments, and only one block and a half from the White House itself, there are twelve of the worst resorts of the kind in the city, besides four gambling houses in which liquors are sold. These, as well as the scores of others about government property, could all be driven from such public places if the President accepted the interpretation put upon the law by the Postmaster-General, and the Attorney of the District, who is regarded as one of the best lawyers in the Washington Bar. The gambling dens are in full blast day and night and Sundays. In these respects there has not been as bad a condition of affairs in the capital since the times of the war.”
ONE RESULT OF PROHIBITION.
No LIQUOR licenses have been granted in Potter county, Pennsylvania, since 1860, and here are the effects: "At a recent term of the Court, the District Attorney informed the Court that he had no indictments to present to the grand jury; the Sheriff also stated that he had no criminals in the prison; the directors of the poor reported that they had no one to keep at the county's charge."
Schwatka Expedition Used No Liquor
The temperance people will be interested to know that during Lieut. Schwatkas' great sledge expedition of more than three thousand miles, not a drop of spirituous liquor was made use of. One would think that if ever a fellow needed a drink bad, to "keep out the cold," the urgency would have been irresistible in that frozen solitude.
WANTED, MEN AND WOMEN.
We take up the papers daily, and casting our glances down the long columns, we see many persons asked for after the word "Wanted." Cooks and chambermaids, coachmen and butlers, clerks and porters, are needed here, and there, and everywhere.
And yet the greatest want of this nineteenth century we do not see advertised, and if we did, I think all that could conscientiously apply would find room for employment and still there would be acres—at least—of unoccupied space.
Men wanted. Men who are honest and pure. Men who are wholesome and truthful. Men who will not be bribed. Men who are like fair, refreshing fruit, sound to the heart's core.
Men wanted. Men who are unwilling to eat the bread of idleness. Men who will scorn to wear what they have not honestly paid for. Men who know what ought to be done and will do it. Men who are not egotistic, but rather have the courage given by the Spirit to do and to dare. Men who will give good counsel, who will set a good example for emulation, who will sympathize with the grieving, and succor the distressed. Men who will scorn to do a base thing even in their zeal for a friend, for, as Jeremy Taylor says, he that does "burns the golden thread that ties their hearts to gather." Men who know how to obey before they undertake to command. Men who do more than they talk. Men who do good to their friends to keep them, to their enemies to gain them. Men whose hearts compare favorably with full pocket-books—who believe in systematic giving, and advocate it. Men whose hearts are moved by the sadness of others, who are touched by a little hungry face, and cold bare feet.
Men wanted. Men who are brave and tender, who are not ashamed to wipe tears away. Men whose acts will bring smiles to wan faces. Men who hush lamentations and are rewarded with sweet songs of thanksgiving.
Women wanted. Women who know their own business better than their neighbors'. Women who are true and pure from centre to circumference. Women who will not weary in well-doing, who will neither flag nor flinch. Women who will not take the rear from choice. Women who know their mission and do not persue the will-o'-the-wisp. Women who will daily do loving service, gentle little kindnesses—and do them unostentatiously. Women who will see that bare pantries are supplied, and that the shelterless find homes.
Women wanted. Women who will not drift with the tide, but will courageously stem the current, trusting to the Omnipotent arm to support. Women who live to please God, not people. Women with noble, generous souls wanted whose hearts will utter "God speed," as workers grow faint and hands grow weary. Women who will not allow their noble impulses to be crushed by the hand of society. Women who will be the stepping-stones to lift people up—not stumbling-blocks to hinder and trip them down. Women who listen to the still, small voice, and heed its monitions. Women with clear brains and ready hands and willing hearts, who know their "life work," and are doing it answervingly.
Women wanted. Women who know how much power there is in a gentle, encouraging word, how much force there is in a hopeful prophecy. Women who will sow their loving acts broadcast, believing that kind words never die. Women who extend a helping hand all along life's pathway. Women with clear understanding, quick perception, and good judgment. Women of patience, who do not explode at the slightest friction. Women of forethought (yes, and afterthought), of discrimination, and great generosity. Women who will keep their eyes fixed upon the loving Master and will not listen to the murmuring crowd. Women who will brave the scorn of this world to be crowned of God.
Men and women wanted. Men and women who, for the sake of mankind and the glory of the Father's name, will never forget to look up—ever up—as the Great Shepherd leads them onward, upward, toward the heavenly fold—the land of eternal day.—Earnest Gilmore, in Christian Weekly.
The Home Circle.
LIVE NOT TO YOURSELF.
O DELICATE bud! on a fragile stem,
O rose! in whose heart gleams a crystal gem.
O sweet valley-lily! as fragrant as fair—
Say, why do you hang all tremulous there?
"We sweeten the air with our fragrant breath;
We wreathe the pale brows, so lovely in death;
In the delicate folds of satiny sheen,
On the breast of the blushing bride we're seen,—
To gladden and brighten this world of ours
Is the glorious mission of beautiful flowers."
O ancient tree! by the dusty road,
So far remote from human abode;
Not a shrub or flower 'neath thy shade hath grown;
Oh, say! dost thou live to thyself alone?
"A shelter I give, from the sun and storm,
To the springing step and the tottering form;
I've held in my arms a hundred nests;
A thousand birds have slept in my breast;
The herds and flocks rejoice in my shade,
The insect a home in my trunk has made,—
To shelter whatever may come to me
Is the blessed work of the aged tree."
O sparkling rill! down the mountain side,
Seeking, coyly, in mossy chasm to hide;
Or in a mimic cascade to fall—
What mission is thine, with thy powers so small?
"I'm leaving the mountain with eager haste,
The valley below by drouth is laid waste;
Tired cattle are waiting to cool their feet,
And quench their thirst in my waters sweet;
The miller awaits me with auxious thought;
Though small, don't infer that I live for naught."
O twinkling star! in the vaulted blue,
Bright sparkler! hast thou a work to do?
Thy rays float down from the heavens afar—
Pray, what is thy mission, beautiful star?
"In the distant blue I keep my place,
A mighty world, secure in space,
And though to you I seem but a spark,
Unseen in the sunshine, but brilliant at dark,
I'm a peopled planet—have mountains and trees,
Broad rivers and lakes, and oceans and seas.
While the sailor looks up to my twinkling light,
And guides his good ship, quite fearless at night."
Thus God hath written on flower and tree,
On gurgling rill, and grassy lea,
On everything his hand hath done—
"None liveth to himself alone."
FAMILY SAFEGUARDS.
The Christian at Work truthfully submits that "too many households are practically carried on as though they were merely lodging-houses and restaurants." The same paper continues:—
"The individuals composing them have their separate interests, and go on their different ways as though there were no common tie to bind them closely, and as though kinship was a rope of sand, convenient for some purposes, but easily broken at will. Now this is all wrong. . . . When father and mother have their life and friends quite apart from those of their children, when the boys are in a hurry to scatter in every direction after tea, and the girls prefer any place to their home, the home is in a dangerous state. It should be more than four walls, more than a roof, a shelter from the storm, and a place to eat and sleep in, and if it be only these and nothing more, it has failed in its mission. Sometimes people have so hard a time to get on from day to day, that they think they are excusable if they sacrifice the amenities of life to its grim necessities. But poverty need be no bar to love. Sometimes people are so intent on laying up money for their children, that they neglect their children's souls, and worldly advancement becomes the golden prize to which their energies are bent. Sordid ambition is inevitably a foe to domestic affection. It is a gross form of selfishness, and love withers when selfishness scorches its tender roots. Sometimes father and mother are so absorbed in society, or politics, or fashion, that they neglect their little children, and think they have done their whole duty when they have provided nurses and preceptors for them in their juvenile years. And the swift hours pass, and the weeks and months and years roll on, and after a while the unnatural spectacle is presented of young men and women who are heartless, irresponsible, fast, lovers of pleasure and devotees of their own wills. The artificial excitements of our day and generation are many. Temptations environ the path of the young. The family should be a bulwark, a defense, a representative of the most sacred principles of human nature, and a place of retreat to the sorrowful, the merry, the tired and the ardent, alike. The very fact that so many ages, from the venerable grand-parents to the toddler of two or three summers, may be gathered about a single hearthstone, shows that the mingling of experiences, temperaments, and dispositions is meant to be beneficial all around."

TALK OVER WHAT YOU READ.
Nearly forty years' experience as a teacher has shown me how little I truly know of a subject until I begin to explain it or teach it. Let any young person try the experiment of giving in conversation, briefly and connectedly, and in the simplest language, the chief points of any book or article he has read, and he will at once see what I mean. The gaps that are likely to appear in the knowledge that he felt was his own, will no doubt be very surprising. I know of no training superior to this in utilizing one's reading, in strengthening the memory, and in forming habits of clear, connected statement. It will doubtless teach other things than those I have just mentioned, which the persons who honestly make the experiment will find out for themselves. Children who read can be encouraged to give, in a familiar way, the interesting parts of the books they have read, with great advantage to all concerned. More than one youth I know has laid the foundation of intellectual tastes in a New England family, where hearty encouragement was given to children and adults in their attempts to sketch the lectures they had heard the evening previous. The same thing was done with books. —Christian Union.
LITTLE TANGLES.
ONCE there was a king who employed his people to weave for him. The silk and patterns were all given by the king. He told the workers that when any difficulty arose, they should send to him, and never to fear troubling him.
Among men and women busy at their looms was one little child whom the king did not think too young to work. Often alone at her work, cheerfully and patiently she labored. One day, when the men and women were distressed at the sight of their failures, the silks were tangled, and the weaving unlike the pattern, they gathered around the child and said: "Tell us how it is that you are so happy in your work. We are always in difficulties."
"Then why do you not send to the king?" said the little weaver; "he told us that we might do so."
"So we do, night and morning."
"Ah," said the child, "but I send directly on finding that I have a little tangle."
So let us take all our wants and troubles directly to the Lord in prayer. He invites us to do so, and promises to help us.—Selected.
POLITE BOYS.
Sixty or seventy years ago children were trained both at home and at school to be far more mannerly than they are now. No little boy ever thought of going into a neighbor's house without pulling off his hat, tucking it under his arm, and making a bow. "Making your manners," they called it. Little Calvin had been thus trained, and, though only three or four years old, always did so when he went anywhere.
He had never yet been to church, and as his mother was making him a suit of clothes that he might go, a puzzling question came into his little head, "Ought he to make his manners when he went in the church?" He wanted to ask some one, but, like many other people, he was ashamed to ask what seemed so simple a question. The Sunday morning came, and still he had not found out what to do.
"I'll be on the safe side," he thought to himself, "It can't do any harm."
So, when fairly inside the church door, he tucked his hat under his arm, squared up, and made his manners. I dare say there were some to smile at the odd sight; but I think the good Father, to whose worship the church was consecrated, was pleased with this act of politeness in the innocent little boy. - Youth's Companion.
GOOD ADVICE.
A MAN that amounts to anything needs enemies to keep him alive. A celebrated person who was surrounded by enemies used to say, “ They are the sparks which if we do not blow them go out of themselves.” Let this be your feeling while endeavoring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter against you. If you stop to dispute, you do but as they desire, and open the way for more abuse. Let the poor fellow talk. There will be a reaction, if you but perform your duty; and those who were once alienated from you will flock to you and acknowledge their error.

It is the purpose of this Society to furnish the public with full information respecting the working of the system in Utah, in the hope that the effect of such knowledge will be to awaken public sentiment on the subject.
—It has been rather irreverently remarked that the "New York clergymen lately sustained a serious misfortune. They all had their apostolical guns heavily charged to attack the Passion Play on a certain Sunday, but the prudent manager withdrew it on Saturday, too late for new sermons to be prepared. Talmage, was not to be balked, and delivered his discourse, on general principles. The Herald says a great many extempore sermons were preached on that occasion, and, evangelically speaking, they were extremely thin." It should be a cause of general rejoicing that this disgraceful exhibition has finally been abandoned.

Temperance and Gospel Songs
THIS new song book is fast gaining the popularity which its merits deserve. It is greatly in advance of the temperance song books of the day, and adds much to the interest of temperance meetings wherever used. The words and music are mostly new, from the hands of our best authors.
Among the authors of new music we notice such names as D. S. Hakes, Dr. W. O. Perkins, H. S. Perkins, Wm. F. Sherwin, W. A. Ogden, T. C. O'Kane, J. A. Butterfield, Dr. J. B. Herbert, W. T. Giffe, Elisha A. Hoffman, Frank M. Davis, W. J. Bostwick, and others.
The book contains a good assortment of rousing congregational pieces, which are easily learned and popular, together with a large number especially adapted to choir and quartette use, also a few anthems and male quartettes.
Among the many words of commendation received for this book are the following:—
"I think 'Temperance and Gospel Songs' one of the best temperance song books I have seen."—D. C. BABCOCK, District Sec. National Temperance Pub. So. of New York.
"This book is far superior to all other temperance song books I have seen, for solid, practical, gospel temperance songs."—P. T. LYNN, Musical Director, Hornellsville, N. Y.
"Among the many things which made our meeting a glorious success throughout, was the inspiring singing by our grand choir from your new work, 'Temperance and Gospel Songs.' It is overflowing with good music and fine hymns. It is a great advance in the line of temperance music books, and ought to find a place, and have a large sale among the many temperance organizations throughout the country. It is the best book of the kind I have ever seen."—C. HENRY MEAD, Conductor Silver Lake, N. Y., Temperance Camp-Meeting.
"The music throughout is musician-like—a rare excellency in such books. The words, too, are fresh and have a meaning."—W. T. GIFFE, Logansport, Ind.
"I am much pleased with 'Temperance and Gospel Songs.' Think it will be a favorite among temperance workers."—FRANE M. DAVIS, Jacksonville, Pa.
"The book is full of real gems."—S. FILTMORE BENNETT, Richmond, Ill.

OBITUARY.
By B. L. Aldrich
HAGAR.—Died, in Oakland, Dec. 1, 1880, Mrs. Julia, wife of George D. Hagar, aged 51 years, 3 months and 14 days. The deceased left an interesting family of three children, and a much bereaved husband. From an early age she had cherished faith in Jesus, and was a member of the Baptist church until about ten years since, when she became a Sabbath-keeper and shortly afterwards united with the Adventist church at Santa Rosa. She was a thoroughly practical Christian, aided by that grace which enables us to keep the commandments.
For the past six months she rapidly declined, and when at last she yielded to the slow ravages of the destroyer, it was to express her hope of future glory. Her last words were “glory! glory!”
The undersigned preached her funeral sermon from 1 Tim. 4:6–8, to many sympathizing friends. She is as blessed as we who yet remain, for we shall not at the sound of the trump of God prevent those who fall asleep.
