of the front axle. There appeared to be no difficulty with the machine, it being entirely under coutrel. Directly. behind he engine is the water tank and wood tender. Behind the tender is the diagonal frame to which the ploughs are attached. It issupported at each of the three corners. by a wheel, which adjusts the depth of the ploughs. The frame is attached to the engine by a cross chain passing underneath the tender. The ploughs, eight in number, turn furrows from five to six inches in depth and twelve inches wide, Although the frame is constructed for only eight ploughs, the engine is sufficiently powerful to draw twelve or sixteen. The field ploughed was about thirty rods in length, and the land was selected as for ordinary plough- ing, the engine passing up oe side and down the other. Seven furrows were turned at once (one of the ploughs not being attached), aud the work was con-~ sidered by practical farmers preseut us excellent. The general opinion was that the experiment demonstrated in a most satisfactory way the practicability of a and doing the work of a number of ploughs. tn England plonghjog is done in some toealiies by steam, but they geuerally use two engines, one at either end of the field, the plough being drawn by a steel rope. These cost about $15,000, while the engine and plough made in Bramp- ton can probably be sold for about $3,- 000, or one-fifth the price.

Cures i Faith and by Miracles,

About ten days ago a statement was pub- lished, on the authority of the Rev. James McCaul, minister of the Stanley Street Presbyterian Church, Montreal, announce- ing the remarkable and sudden cure of a young woman named Seott, who for three years had been confined to bed under a disease known as hypeznia, or congestion of the spinal cord. In the course of a visit to the County of Glengarry, Mr. McCaul visited the house of Miss Scott's father,

at Martintewn. He took a great interest in the case. and at the regular weekly prayer meeting of his congregation she was made the subject of special prayer. ‘Ve

gead that ‘‘ some time after his first visit,

Mr. McCaul received a letter from Miss Scott, telling him that the Lord had given her assurance that she would soon get well, and further asking that special prayer for her speedy reoovery should be made by the congregation of Stanley Street Church at the next meeting for prayer. Many per-

suns in the cangregation had already beome interested in her case, and fervent prayers were offered on her behalf both at the public meeting and at the homes of some of the church members. At the prayer-meet- ing on last Wednesday evening, November 8th, Mr, McCaul read a long letter which he had just received froin Miss Scatt, informing him that she had been healed of of her protvacied intirmities, and requesting that thanks be given to God for what He had done fur her.” Miss Scott’s mother gave the following account of her cure to a reporter of the Witness:

“On Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 3ist., a woman came to help us to pare apples, and while in conversation I happened to ask her what she thought of ‘‘faith cures.” She replied: ‘*I would rather not answer that ‘question, Mrs. Scott.” The conversation jhen went on other subjects until the clock struck three, when some one of us remark- ed that this was the hour t» pray for Maggie to be healed, and at once we all rose up, I going into "Maggie's room and the girls going to their room upstairs also to pray, leaving our visitor where she was, to pray or pare apples as she saw fit. When | knelt down it seemed to meas if the only prayer I could offer was, ‘Lord, help my unbelief.’ We weve all praying in silence, and it seemed as if a pin could be heard dropping on the floor of the room where we were. After continuing in prayer for some time I began to think that L had act- ed rudely to my visitor who had come to assist in paring apples by thus leaving her to herself. Iwas thinking it might be more prudent for me to go back to my work, when that passage became strongly mpressed on my mind, ‘ Though it tarry ‘wait for it, because it will surely come and will net ‘tarry.’ — Heb. ii., verse 3rd. While I was considering if I ought to con- sider this a command to continue longer at prayer, Maggie repeated aloud the same passage, and I resolved to continue pray- ing on. Maggie now began to repeat other passages of scripture and her voice s emed so strange that | looked up, and seeing her eyes closed and a strange look on her face,

one of which is fastened to the end of

I began to fear that she was about to die and that thus she would be delivered from g all her earthly pains. While I was still look- ing at her, she repeated aloud, * Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him.’ She at once opened her eyes and pushing

A few day 8 aside the bedclothes, turned her feet out on

restored to health, but because the Lord was so very good in answering such unbeiieving prayers as I had offered.”

Of late reports of ‘‘faith cures” have been numerous, in the United States and in Canada. Thousands of people have the most unbounded confidence that the cures were effected as the direct result of special prayer offered on behalf of the sufferers, and by the exercise of unlimited:faith en the part of the afflicted.

Dr. Talmage Describes a Good Woman.

You see hundreds of men who are suc- cessful only because there is a reason at home why they are successful. Ifa man marry a good, honest soul he makes his for- tune; if he marry a fool, the Lord help hin The wife may beasilent partner in the firm. There may be only masculine voices down on the Exchange, but there often comes from the home circle a potential and elevating influence. The women of Shunem, at whose house the prophet Elisha stopped, was a great Woman and the superior of her husband. He, as far as I can understand, was what we often findin our day, a man of large fortune, and only a modicum of brains, intensely quiet, sitting a long while in the same place without moving hand or foot: if you say yes, responding yes; if you say no, responding vo; inane, eyes half shut, mouth wide open, maintaining his position in society only because he has a arge patrimony. His wife belonged toa that class of people who need no name to distinguish them, ne title of priasess on queen. She was great in her hospitality. Jupiter has the surname of ‘ The Hospit- able,” and he was said to avenge the wrongs. of strangers. Homer extolled hospitality ia his verse.

A. T. Stewart's Eye to Business. One day Alexander T. Stewart gave a

commission to a celebrated artist in Paris to paint a little Parisienne, and offered to pay a good round price if the painter would put a heap of head-work in the little lady’s costume. ‘‘That is strange fancy ,” said the painter. ‘‘ It is not a fancy atall,” replied Mr. Stewart. ‘‘That picture will be ex- hibited at New York. All the elegant women will look at it, and if they sea that the Parisienne wears bead ornaments the will buy beads. Now, my honse——A. Stewart & Co.—has a ‘big stock of these articles;and by that means, you under- stand;—and the artist understood.

The Montreal Gazette says: -‘‘The Hon. Mr. Chapleau returned from Ottawa on Saturday, and will leave to-morrow fer Los Angelos, California, where he will spend at least a couple of months, possibly longer, if his medical advisers consider it necessary. He will probably stop over for a short time at Denver City, Colorado. Although we are glad to be able to say that his health has somewhat improved since his return from Europe, yet it is absolutely necessary that he ahould go to a warmer climate, at least for some time. Much as Mr. Chap- 'eaun’s friends would desire to see him in his place in Parliament during the next session, we are sure we speak their views when we urge that he should not, unless he can do so with perfect safety, retura to Canada during the winter, His life is teo precious to justify any risk in his case, and we there- fore hope that he will be guided in his movements simply by considerations cf his health.”
