A GRACEFUL LIFE AND A TRANQUIL
DEATH.
We copy from The Congt'egationalis
the following notice of the late Pro
fetiisor 3illiman :
Others will dwell upon the scientific
and intellectual reputation of the vene
rated Professor Sil.liman, the father of
American s cience'; I would wish to say
only a word of the qualities of his heart,
and especially of the exemplification in
in his life and conversation of the beau
tiful grace of Christian gentleness.
Even in the fire and strength of his
manhood, the suavity of his manners
was proverbial; but in his last years,
how clearly this rare and noble quality
of Christian mildness shone out. It
was a soft halo around the majesty of
his old ago, lending it a higher glory,
and attracting to it the love and admira
tion of men. Those frequent expres
sions in the New Testament—'But we
were gentle among you;" "the, servant
of the Lord must not strive, but be
gentle unto all men ;"." the wisdom that
is from above is first pure, then peace
able, then gentle ;" " the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
gentleness;" "now I myself beseech you
by the meekness and gentleness of
Christ;" these expressions we now better
understand. We see their meaning and
power.
The friends and neighbors of Professor
Silliman who were in the habit of seeing
him daily, can never forget his unwea
ried attention to those little acts of
courtesy, and unselfish kindness, which
show the heart. He never failed in one
of these, when younger men would have
thought themselves fairly excused. He
would cross the street to , speak a kind
word to aTriend; he would go out on a
cold winter evening to make a visit of
neighborly goodwal, or sympathy in
time of sickness and affliction; no
stranger coming to the city was lie=
glected by him, when he could pay him
any attention, or dO him a service;;:and
his smile and cheerful word were given
to all, young or old, rich? and poor.
How many do we see in our energetic,-
national life, who are full,of activity and
of moral strength and heroism—though
not more so than was oar revered friend
—who yet lack that greater quality,
and more mature, of Christian -gentle
ness which so beautified his whole na
ture, and which was the outworking of
the inward principle of love—the love
that was in Christ himself.
On a serene morning, more like , a
golden October than November day,
when the whole nation was beginning
its song of praise and thanksgiving to
God, our friend and father, a true friend,
also, of his country, and oiits real great
ness and freedom, passed from us. He
lived only half . an hour after waking—
but in that short half hour he seemed to
be almost inspired to say those things
that showed the true spirit of his mind,
and that are precious for the comfort
and recollection of friends. He made a
prayer containing many earnest ex
pressions of gratitude and praise. He
haidouto his wife that his voice was
stronger than usual, and that he should
read at family prayers a longer psalm
of praise than common, for 'God had
granted him so many mercies. While
continuing to speak words of simple but
deep affection to his wife, he expired
before he had finished a sentence which
ho twice repeated ; and thus full of
praise to God, and love and kindness to
all, he passed , from earth into heaven.
If his love was great, his death had in
it something of the sublime.
BEGIN BIGHT,
A young man of fashion, of wealth
and educationothigh social positionin
one of the `fas'h'ionable iiven'ues in this
great city, found out, in the
,progress of
this revival that he was a sinner, that
he had a soul to be saved or lost.' He
felt himself, on the verge of ruin, and
the brink of eternal despair. He was'
bowed doWii , under the load of his sins
as a grievous bnrden. He sought relief
and found ft not. ' The requirements of
the,lay stared him in,> ;the
ui :face, and, he
felt justly condened; His heart' Wait
filled with sorrow. Hie countenance
bore the marks of woe. Day .after day ,
he went about., with his head bowed
down like a latiTenah, and day` after day
the burden became more and more
insupportable. What should he do ?
Whither should he fly'? He had at
home a young Wife whom he loved as
ho did his owd hp, and more than his
own life., ,

The wife and< sister looked on this hus

never be ashamed of Christ. He would
acknowledge and honor him every
where •

so* e 0. e was returning "Eo n
home id the` evening., 'NoW,"`said he,

"Oh, no,'Vlaid.the tempter, not yet.
Don't be it*'"iiitli`lt:."-rilitke-lime. Get
a little stronger, and then you
, Can go

"1 must 'Veen to-night.' I . 'dd not
know what my wife and eister.wlll44;
but it is a duty; and I am >resolved to do
it, and trust God for the rest. I must
pray in my family."
"Not to-night," said the. tempter;
"you don't know bow to pray. Yon
have never prayed much. You are un
acquainted with the language of prayer..
Wait %nd leaidthow first."
"No, no, I must pray to-night, I will
pray tonight. Get thee behind me, Sa
tan."
He passed into his dwelling, and into
his library, and there, before God, hid
heavenly - Father, and in the 'nun
the Lcrd Jesus, ho poured out his heart
and asked for strength and grace from
on high to assist him in his duty.
When he met his wife that evening,
she saw at once that a great change
had taken place in him, and she saw it
with aWii but said nothing. - At length
he said
" My. dear Rife, would you have any
objections to our having family wor
ship?"
After a moment's surprise and hesi
tation she said with true politeness:
" Certainly not, if itliis your pleasure."
"Bring me a Bible then, please, and
draw up under the gas-lig,ht, and let us
read and pray."
Tie read a chapter, and then kneeled
down, bat his wife and sister sat up
right in their seats, and` he felt that he ,
was alone on his knees. He lifted up
his eyes to God, and cried out in the
bitterness of his soul, " God be merciful
to - me a sinner." And gathering
strength, he went on in his prayer,
pouring out his most earnest cries and
supplication that God would have mer
cy on" his beloved wife and sister. So
earnest, so importunate was that prayer
that. God would show his converting
grace and power on the spot, that the
heart of his wife was melted and . over
come, and she slipped from her seat
upon her knees beside him, and putting
her arms around his neck, ere she was
aware, she burst out into one agonizing
cry to the Lord Jesus for mercy on her
soul; and then the sister knelt down by
his other side, and she, too, put her
arms around him, and burst into a flood
of tears.
He continued to pray; he devoted
limself and those with him to God. He
confessed Amci bewailed his and their
manner'ot life hitherto ; he pleaded the
promises of God to all those that seek
him, and with unspeakable joy he made
mention of the amazing grace of God in
the pardon of his sins, and he besought
that they all-might find`and_ obtain to•
gether peace and forgiveness through a
crucified Saviour.
The submission was complOe • the
surrender was fully made; repentance
and faith sPrang up together in the
hearts of all the three, and as they rose
from their knees, it was to acknOwledge
each to the other what new determina
tions and resolutions and consecration
they each .had made daring the progress
of that .first prayer in the family, in that
parlor, of all they were and all they
would be, or ehotild be to Chirst.' •
Since that first prayer in the parlor,
God has been daily acknowledged in the
same place by the same circle.
Then out from that circle they go
from day to day in their walks of use
fulness, and on their errands of mercy
in this great City, seeking out the per
ishing, ten thousand times happier than
they ever were before. No* " they
scatter blessings all around thera; and
long as eternity endures will 'they re
member that first prayer-meeting in the
parlor.—Power of Prayer.

times literally torn from the flesh, and
even where this extent of injury is not
inflicted, killing and skinning would in
variably disclose more or less congestion
occasioned by lacerating the cellular
tissue between the skin and flesh, and
thus prove how much •purely uimecces
sary pain and injury has been inflicted
on an unoffending and valuable animal,
by the ignorance or brutality of its at
tendant.
It cannot be too.strongly_
that gentleness in every manipulation
and movement connected ,with iheep is
the first and one of the 'main conditions
of success in Managing them. They
should be taught to fear no injury from
man. They should be made tame and
even affectionate—so that they will fol
low their keeper about the field—and:so
that, in the stable, they will scarcely
rise to get out of his way. Wild sheep
are constantly suffering some loss or
deprivation themselves, and constantly
occasioning some annoyance or damage
to their owner; and the modern system
of whiter stable-management, it is diffi
cult to get them through the yeaining
season with safety to their lambs.=. -
Practical Shepherd.
Bat few persons who are familiar with
dried figs, as they are • imported in
drums, would recognize them in their
fresh state. They :resemble a pear
somewhat in shape, are very soft, and,
are filled with a sweet mucilaginous
pulp, which is considered very deli
cions by most persons, though some do
not like it at first, but afterward become
very fond of it. In the climate - of New
York city, figs may be grown with fair
certainty of making a crop every year,
if a little care be taken. Plants maybe
had at the nurseries, or may be started
from cuttings. They,should have good
soli and be allowed to grow in the bush
form. At the, approach of hard frosts
the roots are cut around with the spade
at a distance from the plant equal to
about half, its height. This root prim
ing prevents - too rampant growth of
the branches in spring, and also facili
tates the laying down of the- plant..
The plant is bent over, and secured by
pegs and covered with a layer of earth
sufficient to protect both root and-stems
from injury by frost. In the Middle
States, covering with a barrel or with
straw is found "to be sufficient. Qutting
out decaying or crowded branches and
shortening the overgrown ones, is all
the pruning required. It is a common
impression even among cultivators, that
figs produce fruit without ever blossom-
ing. They do blossom, but in a very
curious manner. Both staminate and
pistillate flowers are found in the same
fig, each raised on a little stalk. This
bag is botanically called a receptacle.
We are familiar with a large fiat recep
tacle in the sunflower, where the small
flowers are crowded on its upper Bur
face. If we imagine the sunflower re
ceptacle to'be drawn up to form a bag,
with the little flowers all inside, we shall
get an idea of the structure of the fig.
When the'fig ripens, the remains of the
flowers and their stalks, and the recep
tacle itself, all become sweet and pulpy,
while the pistils of the
.pistillate flowers
ripen:Aiid become fruits, though com
monly. called seeds. The fig, then, in
stead of being a simple fruit, is really
a collection of a great number of fruits
which r are produced by many different
flowers; and it is the substance which
surrounds them which popularly passes
for the fruit.—Ameritan Agriculturist.

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 publicly pro
claiming this fact, and calling the attention of those af
flictedwith 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 Hoolland's Bitters is intended to benefit
the afflicted, and is " not a rum drink."

Prom Rev. J. Newton, Brown, D. D., Editor of the Envy=
clopeedia of Religious Knowledge: .
Although not disposed to favor Or recommend Patent
Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingre
dients and effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons
why a 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 Hottand's Gerroan -
Bitters, prepared by Dr: C. M. Jackson, of this" City,
be_camse I was_ prejudiced _ against them for many,yeark
dri
under the impressi that - they were 'Chlaily an 'eke
holic. mixture. I am indebted to mv friend, .Robert
Shoemakeri:Eiq., forthe' rethoval Ala - Prejudice by
proper teats, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and Item continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of
the present year, was follewed by evident relief, and
restoration.to a degree of bodily and Mental vigeryrhieh
I had not felt for six months befori3, and had almost
deimaired Of 'regaining. - Itherefore thank God and my
friend fcir directing , metd the use of them.'
