THE INSOLUBLE PROBLEM OF AGRI
CULTURE.
It is profitable for instruction reproof,
and correction, to observe ho 1 ,- nature,
God's servant, rebukes the pride, the
presumption, the arrogant
and feebleness of man. We never tire
of boasting of the achievements of
science, and are apt to look contempt
uously upon those devout generations
which contemplated with wonder and
adoration the mysterious works of the
Almighty, and owned that human skill
and human wisdom can penetrate be
neath no more than a thin film on the
surface of things. Hero is this British
nation, in the second half of the nine
teenth century, in the plenitude of
power, with every resource of science
at its command, brought to a standstill
in the performando of what nature ef
fects constantly in every field of grass,
and what is, in reality, the initial opera
tion of agriculture. Take agriculture
at as early a stage as you please, what,
we ask, is the very principle which ren
ders it possible, what is the grand fact
which calls it into existence ? Is it not
this, that - nature receives from man all
refuse, all rubbish, all foul and excre
mentitious matter, silently folds it up in
the lap of the earth, converts it into the
richness of fruit, the strength of grain,
the beauty of foliage and flowers, and
returns it to man for his nurture and
enjoyment? One thing only is required
of man, that he will commit to the
earth what, if not committed to the
earth, becomes poison. And the pro
blem which at this moment defies the
most civilized of nations is neither more
nor less than this, how to restore its re
fuse, to the earth, in order that, by the
' annual miracle of Divine beneficence, it
maybe transmuted into. fool !
It would; of course, be absurd to say
that we have been ignorant of the first
principlaotagriculture—a principle fa
miliar to man before one stone,was laid
to build the Pyramids, or One province
was occupied of what is now the world
of China. But there -are Rhgliehmen
who would ha confirmed in their per
suasion of the utility of rain, if rain
were pronounced useful by a Parlia
mentary_ Commission, and therefore it.
mast be 'deemed. satisfactory that a
Commission of the House of Commons,
after fully investigating the subject,
have declared that the refuse of our
habitations and our cities' may be util
ized in the culture of our fields. Prac
tically we had denied this fact, and
have long been suffering the consequen
ces. Nature, with all her bounty, is
both stern and precise. :,be meets us
half way, but unless we do our part—
unless we accept her terms—she will
purdah, instead of rewarding us. The
condition on which she converts refuse
into food is that it be laid in the earth.
The ground is her mint, from which is
sues gold; if we put our refuse else
where, her avenging ministers, pesti
lence and famine, will remind us of our
blunder and our crime.
For at least a quarter of a century
we have been obstinately attempting to
put it elsewhere. First we tried the
air. Rising in malarious steam from
unemptied cesspools, offending the sen
ses in gutters and lanes, filling our
streets with abomnation and our houses
with stench, it tainted the atmosphere.
But we became too civilized for such hor-
rors. 0 ur finer feel iiigs were reielted. We
determined that,at worst, the sepulchre
should be whited, and the outside of the
cup and platter be clean. We would"
still waste what nature intended for
use; but as the air would not hide it
from us, we would fling it into the
water, to be washed away. So we
looked upon - the crystal brooks and the
bright fresh rivers, perfect emblems of
power married to beauty, sweeteners
and purifiers of the atmosphere, seem
ing, in the glow of summer air, to bring
down blue stripes of heaven to bind the
breast of earth, and asked them to bury
for us the dead matter which we would
not decently inter in the fields, to wait
the resurrections of spring ! The brooks
became house-drains; the rivers became
main•sowers• lint, as the foulness had
disappeared ' from guttais and lanes, we
thought for's< time that we had got
over the difficalty, and: reflected with
coinphteency what wonderful people we
were. IF, however, the waste of our
ref use in the air had been offensive, the_
waste of it in the water was 'almost
equally loathsome and more deadly.
Noxious emanations, passing into the
air, are borne about by winds, are dis
sipated through measureless expanses
of sky, and have comparatively slight
power to hurt. Bat we drink water;
of every kind of food water is the larg
est component; poisoned or pu:Uescent
water corrupts the blood - and ulkerates
the stomach ; and horrible forms of ani
mal life which come into existence in,
tainted water, enteringinto our bodies
with our drink, produce hideous and
painful diseases. It is, hardly possible
for us to imagine the atmosphere taint
ed to such an extent that birds should
die in it, but it is notoriot%n that fish die
in our rivers.
What, then, was to ho done/ Try
deodorization, exclaimed a company of
chemists—first pollute, and then, purify
your water and to the chemists the
public eagerly listened. Resolute 'that
nature should not be obeyed,Yesolute
that her sublime thrift should not be
imitated, we still tried to waste, but to
waste pleasantly and harmlessly. It
would not do. The chemists were baffled.
Water, once dead and rotting,:science
could not restore to it the sweetness and
wholesomeness-of life. " No efficient arti
ficial method," say the Commissioners in
their report, "has been discovered to
purify, for drinking and culinary purpo
ses, water which hari been once infected
by town= sewage. By no` ,known me-,
chanical or chemiCal means can , such
water be more than partially cleansed;
it is always liable to petrify again. Pro
cesses of filtering and deodorization
cannot, therefore, bo relied upon to do
more than mitigate the evil. Wate r
which appears perfectly pure to the eye
is sufficient, under certain conditions,
t') breed serious epidemics in the popula
tion which drinks it." All our expedi
ents had proved vain; we had sinned
against one of God's natural ordinances;
we were punished.
Nor was the poisoning of our rivers
the whole extent of the penalty which
it seemed • probable we should have to
pay. Baron Liebig, one of the first au
thorities on the subject in Europe, ve
hemently declared that the soil, depriv
ed of the aliment intended for it by
nature, would in time be exhausted.
The statement, applies more or less to
every country in Europe, but to none
does it apply more emphatically than
to Great Britain. Our population has
doubled within silty years. On a small
area nearly thirty millions of human
beings have to be maintained. The
earth groans under so vast a .popula
tion, and even the teeming breasts of
the mighty mother threaten to run dry.
As yet, indeed, the decline in the fertil
ity of our soil is a matter of speculation
rather than of fact. Agriculturists have
obtained so much advantage within the
present conturyfrommechanical applian
ces, from guano, from artificial manures,
that they have contrived to repair the,
waste of the substance of the soil with
out restoring to it what is abducted by
man. But the ship which has long rid
den out.the- tempest founders in a mo
ment, and we may learn suddenly, and
too late, that the vitality of the soil is.
exhausted. The supply of guano, it is
well known, must soon fail, and me
chanics can do -little for the farmer if
there is no strength in the ground to
be brought out by pulverising, and no
crop upon it to be cut by the reaping
machine.
To avert all risk, or to postpone it to
an indefinitely distant day, we must do
as nature bids us. We must restoie the
sewage to the ground. What we ,can
not do by our chemistry is.done by the
filtration of the soil, and by the.tendrils
of plants searching for food'. The drain+
age of a house_or a farm:yard pollutes
a river, but the drainage of a corn-field
does it no harm. The amount of. liquid
manure which, would be required to im
part a sensible odor to a few square
miles of growing grass is practically in-,
finite. What we have tor do, .with-:our..
sewage, therefore, it to dilute it shirt
ciently in water; and pour the water on
our fields. Carriage by suspension in a
liquid is, the Commissioners inform us,
the cheapest*mode. of transport. "In.
many towns of Lancashire," they add,
" there are to this day numerous cess
pits. This is the case with Manchester;
where the local authorities expend about
20,0001. a-year, for emptying film: and
removing the contents to the land and
receive back 50 per cent. by the sale of
the material. A system of sewerage;
and the necessary works to remove all
the refuse in a liquid state to the adja
cent fields would, in Mr. Rawlinson's
opinion, Cause a saving to the town."
The closing advice of the Commission-,
ers deserve earnest attention and has
our cordial approval : "We recorn-_
mend that the important object of free-,
ing the entire basins of rivers froth
pollution should be rendered possible
by general legislative enactment, enab
ling the inhabitants of such entire dis
tricts to adopt some controlling power
for that purpose; but it should include
a provision for compelling, local boards
to render the sewage of;'their:districts
innocuous by application to the land
for a.gricultirkal •purposes. The case of
the valley of the Thames (where the
purification of the river, which has been
sought by the expenditure of, enormous
- sums; is, to, a considerable extent; coun
teracted by the increased discharge of
sewage from towns higher up the
stream) requires. special and immediate
attention."—Weekly Review.
FAILINGS OF THE GOOD.
HOW ABUSED BY THE GUILTY.
[From "Life-Lessons in the School of Chris
tian Duty," a forthcoming work by a minister
of our church.]
Guilt and sin love to quote the failings
of a good man, a thousand times more
than-even the eloquent eulogies of Vice
from.the lips of a bad One, beca l ms° more
powerful and effective., Tkey.never ex
til-t-ag they do when they ads .thatgood
.man stumble. His fall, is the fall that
majestic ,statue of holy example'that has
looked upon the fn, with a wi - theripgfrown
aild when it lies prostratplikethe fallen
rfagon on tha,thregh - Old (*his own tern
mutilated and broken, they regard
his misfertuni to virtue as a personal
tAiumph-for themselves. That: example
has been to,them what the prophet lldi
caiah was to Ahab, and if their lips were
bridled,. their' hearts said as plalnly as
th m
ijt =wicked 'king, "1 hatejiiin, for he
proliliesieth not good of me but evil."
Example is indeed a prophet. It may
even make the devil stand abashed and
feel" how awful goodness is." Men who
are not satisfied with themselves, who
feel that they are doing wrong, seek an
excuse for themselves in the weakness
Of, another. If a good man errs, they
deem; themselves privileged. They,will
wrap themselves up .- in the cloak - of his
failings, and4l3 lay the flattering unction
to their souls. They could not rest'con
tent with the principles of a perverted
morality, with any verbal apology' for
their sin, however well, expressed; they
want an example that they can quote.
Frequently they are only too successful
in their search. Good men are often
weak, and blindly cling to an error that
thus becomes a stumbling block to
others.
In the early history of the Temper
ance cause a man who had been addicted
to intemperance rose in a temperance
meeting and related his experience r in
regard to the influence ofr temperate
drinkers of respectable stan`ding upon
the habits of the drunkard.
"Many a time," said he, " have I gone
to Captain Johnson's tavern and waited
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, 'OCTOBER 13, 1864.
for half an hour or an hour for some
respectable man to come in and go to
the bar and call for liquor. Alter a while,
Deacon Barnes would come and call for
sonie spirit and water. Then I could go
up to the bar and do as he did." Deacon
Barnes hearing of this asked him if it
was so. "h is," said the man. " Well,"
said the Deacon," you shall hang on me
no fonger. I joined the Temperance
Society yesterday." "Did you?" "Yes!"
" Well, then I will join to-day, for I can
do without liquor as long as Deacon
Barnes can."
How vain to cherish the hope of being
able to demolish the arguments of the Sab
bath breaker, of the theatre goer, of the
intemperate man, of tb e votary of fash ion,
while they are fortified by the example
ofthose who esteem themselves good
men, and in some eases possibly are !
Well may we ask, is it not a divine won
der, a miracle in attestation of the truth
of Christianity, that it has maintained
itself in the world for eighteen centuries
and made progress when domestic trai
tors have so often stabbed at its vitals
with poisoned dagger's, When they have
kissed, with the .lips of profession, a
CUM they betrayed by example ?
But what if many do sin; what if the
majority do cast off tl3e fear of -God;:
what if it is fashionable to travel the
broad road; will you therefore be the
suicide of your' soul ? Will fashion take
away the sting of the undying worm 7
Will fashion put out the flames of the
quenchless fire ? Will it be delightful
to be damned in company ? What if
many would laugh at you for being odd;
is their ridicule worse than God's frown?
Is your own conscience such a torpid
thing, that sin may trample on it by
mere force of numbers ? Are your con
victions to be voted down by majorities?
Have you enrolled yourself in that
democracy of darkness, where numbers
are instead of God.
There are good men who err and set
a bad example; there are great men
whose • - intellectual eminence flings a
flood-of `splendor over the ruinous vices
or the contemptible follies in r which they
indulge there are men whosenames we
would utter with. a certain degree of
reverence against whose example we
must• put you •on your guard ; for the
splendor of genius cannot atone for its
errorS, and, if it did, good sense should
warn you of the presumption of suppos
ing,. that becanse you' have the errors
you also have the genius. Great men,
and even good men, have been character
ized by gross weakness. They have
shown themselves unsafe guides. The
-fraity of Solomon is as memorable as
his wisdom : and the same pages that re
cord Peter's devoted attachment, tell us
how he denied- his Lord. None of us
has any right to adopt, a human standard.
There is an ,emphatic meaning in that
declaration of the apostle, - that - they
" who measurethemselves by themselves
and compare themselves among them
selves, are not wise." On the principle
that another's example mity sanction
your course,
thete is nothing left which
you may not do. You may quote ex
amples for everything. If you wish to
join in the gay dance, you may find some
professedly Christian partner; if you
wish to visit - the theatre; some renegade
bhristianhan show you the way; if yoti
wish to Share the whirl of nonsense and
vanity, there are Demas-profehsors in
the world to keep you in countenance;
if you wish to travel on the Sabbath,
you may possibly find a seat by the side
of one whose duty it has been at some
time to enforce the commandments; if
the love of the worldattracts you more
than the place of
_prayer, there are cer
tainly those ,who.can sympathize
,with
you in your tastes. There is scarcely
anything you can wish to do but you
can find a pretext or apology for it in,
the disgraceful failings of , such as are
presumed to= be'good, men; but shun the
principle. There is only one example
for you, and that is the„.gaster's The

tiplicity of criminals canna sanctify
crime; a. host of evil examples cannot
change the nature of sin. Bear this in
mind when' you are tempted to go with
a multitude to do evil. The curse will
not bo the less because they share it.
You • sin and you must bear it. If you
could sin by proxy, you cannot be judged
by proxy. You will stand at the bar of
God to answer for yourself. Keep, then,

The following is an extract from a
private - letter, dated Tocat, July 16
I am glad, to see by the papers which .
have just come to hand that there is a
movement in generous England for the
relief of the Circassian emigrants. Hav-
ing seen a good deal of this-people and
of their:extreme sufferings, I should be
glad to aid in giving an impulse to this'
work of Christian benevolence. You
are aware that the
_emigration com
menced some_ five.. years ago„and up' to
three years ago it was computed that ,
about 100,000 souls had come Into
Turkey. Bat the movement was then!
voluntary, and on, a moderate scale.'
'Thit during my absence from the coun
try the emigration has assumed a very
different character. The Russian au
thorities forcibly charter, every vessel
they can lay hold of, a.nd send it across
the sea to' the nearest ports: on the
Turkish coast, - crowded to its utmost
`Capacity - with human beings, with
wholly inadequate provisions for the
voyage. I have it from. the Italian
Consul at Samsoon, Mr. Craraveli, who
.saw hundreds and thousands of those
athletic forms landed there so emaciated
and fc.eble. that they could not wally a

story. Their only trouble was hunger.
While in that city, in the middle of last

on the shore, lying about in mud and
wretchedness, and they were dyinc , at
the rate pf 500 to 700 per day. Atthe
same time a vessel lay in the harbor,
the deck and rigging of which were
crowded, like ants, waiting for room to
be cleared ashore. They lay scattered
about' oiler hill and valley, some in
tents, but many without any kind of
shelter. !Some of them work on the
new road for a trifle, but the greater
part arel forwarded to the interior as
fast as possible, beasts and carts being
impressed for the purpose, but they die
in great numbers as they go, and their
rude graves are scattered all along the
road. Some of the survivors have told
me that they have buried all their rela
tives, wives and children along the road
and are now left alone. I beard of one
man who, in despair, buried, alive his
sucking child by the lifeless remains
of its mother. We baVe at least 10,000
or 20,000 in town here on the move for
other - places. They die in large num
bers; apparently without disease. The
town is surrounded with their fresh
graves, and the emaciated forms of the
living stalk. about Our streets, exciting
pity in. the hardest hearts. The Turk
ish Government are nobly and gener
ously doing all in their power for their
relief. Land is given them gratis, and
they:are scattered throughout the vil
lages, where the wholesome mountain
air, enables them to repair their consti
tutions. But the authorities cannot do
all that needs to be done, nor are their
efforts always wisely directed. If the
Russian Government cannot be induced
to carry on this business in a more
Christian way, we ought to await every
arrival on the. Turkish shore with good

matters of this sort to keep them from

I have known Hoofland's German Bitters favorably
for a number of years. I have used them in my own
family . , and have' been so pleased with their effects that
I was induced to recommend them to many others, and
know that they, have operated in a strikingly beneficial
manner. I take great pleasure in thus ,pabliely pro
claiming this fact, and calling the attention of those af
flicted with the diseases for which they are recommend
ed, to these Bitters, knowing from experience that my
recommendation, will be sustained. I do this more
cheerfully as Hoofland's Bitters is intended to benefit
the afflicted, and is " not a rum drink."
Yours truly,
Prom Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the En cy
dopcedia of Religious Knowledge:
Although not disposed to favor or . recommend Patent .
Medicines in general, through distrust of their ing re.
.dients and effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons
whys man may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple preparations
in the. hope that he may thus. contribute to, the benefit
of others.
I do•this more readily in regard to HOofland's German
Bitterei prepared by Dr.. C. M.. Jackson, of this city,
because I was prejudiced against them for many years,
under the impression that they were 'chiefly an alco
holic mixture. 'I am indebted-to - friend, Robert
Shoethaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by
,proper tests, and .for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long Continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these: Bitters, et the beginning of
the present year, was., followed by, evident relief, and
restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which
I had not felt for six months befoie, and had almost
despdlred of regaining: I therefore thank

Dr. C.M. Jackson:—Dear Sir,—l feel it a pleasure thus
of my own accord, to bear testimony-to the excellence
of the German Bitters. Some years since, being much
afflicted with Dyspepsia, I used them with very-benefi

their great value. In cases ofgeneral debility, I believe
it to be a tonic that cannot be surpassed.
