J; iorsitanttuo, A GREAT PATRIOTIC GIFT. The follcrwing extract from the Spring field, Mae., 2 ?epublican, is meeting with very extensive circulation in the newspaper press "To some of the merchant princes and -millionaires of New York is credited. the 'contemplation of a project at once munift oent, generous, and grand. The plan is to present to the United States Government .$ 2 ,000,000,000, and thus relieve the nation of the public debt. It is proposed to make the gift in 200,000 shares of $lO,OOO each, of whioh A. T. Stewart, William B. Astor, and others will each take fifty shares, mak ing up at least a quarter of the whole amount in New York. The realization of such a project would place both Govern ment and citizens in a prouder position than ever government or citizens occupied be fore. History gives no parallel to such an act. The Venetians held in grateful re membrance the name of a man who, by a lifetime of personal sacrifice and hard-faced usury, obtained means to relieve the'public from its financial burdens, and placed it again upon the road to prosperity, after a long and disastrous war. They forgot his exacting usury and his life of selfishness in the lasting benefit he conferred upon the State. • But we should have no abuses to forget, and only the generous patriotism of republican citizens to remember." Knowing nothing of this proposition save what we quote abeve, we cannot tell whether it has any foundation in fact, or is merely one of those wild schemes of which the American:mind seems to be fond. - That if started it - woind be perfectly practicable, we cannot permit ourselves to enteitain a doubt. Let New York city, which has re ceived such wide-spread credit fora 'mope sal not yet attempted, begin the matter in earnest, as her great wealth would warrant she, should do in such a matter, and we can undertake to say that Philadelphia and Pennsylvania will 'promptly respond. The millionaires who might start this subscrip tion would not feel the loss of the amount they give to the republic, and could, there fore, very well afford to do it; and the more so as it would constitute an imperishable memorial of their patriotic liberality. But almost every one able to give something would cheerfully do so to.rid the nation or the debt which weighs so heavily upon it. We do not know that Philadelphia could equal New York in such a subscrip tion, although thus far she has done so in most benevolent and patriotic lists; but it New York will do her best, she will find us emulating her example. New England, New York, and Pennsylvania would no doubt raise half the amount, leaving the rest of the debt to be mastered by the re mainder of the nation. Doubtless, if the subscription were once fairly started, cities would vie with each other in the patriotic spirit of emulation, and every county, township, and State would do the 'seine. It would be the ambi tion of every,loyal man and •woman to do somethinc , toward, the great patriotic gift. This spirit has been manifested in the sub wirtptionts—to the banitlftradd.._ Chriati! Commission and, to volunteer bounty funds; and the rapidly augmenting wealth of the country is constantly, seeking new opportu ;aides of displaying its public spirit and liberality. Here would; be an effort worthy c , of all, and appealing ' alike to all, for if the amount could be made up, and the republic relieved of debt, it would place our financial affairs on so much better a basis as to tell upon every one's interests, and set at rest all fears of a terrible crash- likely to follow this war. It would do much more than this. It would be the most gigantic demonstration of the inexhaustible nature of our national resources that could be afforded, and for eign nations could not fail to treat with re spect a People capable of such sacrifices. The creation of this debt, taken up as it has been here at home, has furnished the , world with an illustration of our strength; its voluntary _S+ ."nal from the national books 'by a great 1. rubsoription would be a new demonstration of our strength not likely to be forgotten. Hence we hope that there may be something more than mere talk in the statement we quote above. If New York does not lead off in the mat, ter, let Philadelphia do so in her stead.— Philadelphia North American. THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH. It is a grand and ennobling truth that the Church' of God is so comprehensive as to include within its ample fold every true believer, from the days of Adam down through the Patriarchal, Jewish, and Chris tian dispensations. And yet men, good men, Christian men, seem too often to for get this great &din the importance which they give to some division of the. church. Education and prejudice have so narrowed some minds that the Church, in their ap prehension, consists of those who hold with them to some of the forms whisk, distinguish the sect or denommatien-to which they be long. Others think of the . Church as con fined to a national' ottinization. And others, again, is niiFincluding those who lived before the Christian Church replaced the Jewish. But these all come short of the truiidea of the true °harsh of Christ. Olirist's Church has been One ji*UM, the beginning 0.1 the world. .All God's people, before his advent, by faith looked for his appearing, and trusted in a braviour promised for sal vationy even "as now MS' people , ' believe , in him as one who has come to make atone ment for transgreaion, and who look fur his, second, coming to judge the world in righteouimeas, and'to receive his people to himself. Thus the true Church of God is a catho lic or universal Cliardli; not _limited to a denominationpurq,nation, or age, but dif fused through- all ages, and places, and na tions„ at„,the beginning, and it shall continue essentially the same, though its forms may change, until the end of the world, , "The sonata above and sainta , below .13nvone comrnuniontinake: All join , in %Cbriat.theix* , living Head, And of his love partake. - EAU - Tian , s now 4gritutturat.

In the report of the Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Agticulture for 1862, Mr. Flint gives the following de scription of the cows of Brittany, a pro vince in the north of France, as observed by hi la at the International Exhibition in London,:— " The little Bretagne cows please, me exceedingly. Standing only about three feet high on her legs—the most fashionable height, mostly black and white; they are as docile as kittens, and look pretty enough to become the kitchen pet of the hard press ed mountain or hillside farmer, with pas tures too short for a grosser animal. Ten pounds of hay will suffice for their lirnitAd wants for twenty-four hours, and they would evidently fill a ten quart pail as quick and as long as any other cow. " ' These pretty cows will often hold out in milk,' so the herdsman said, from fifteen to eighteen months after calving, and often begin with the first calf with six or seven quarts a day. The horn is fine, not unlike the Jersey, but smaller and tapering on gradually, and the escutcheon or milk marks of G-uerion generally . very good. Good cows are held at from sixty to seventy dol lars a head, a fancy price of course, but I am not sure that they would not pay six per cent. on the investment, as well as most 'fancy stock."' TANNING SMALL. SKINS. Seeing an inquiry ho* to tan small fuis, I will give you mine.' If green, sprinkle the flesh side with saltpetre and alum, (ground fine,) then fold the flesh sides to : • • 01l it t_lp . ,:tie it, and lay it away one or two days. Then unfold.; and - rub -with paper or something, as dry as possible, and lay them out to dry. Work and pull them when most dry so they will dry soft. Dry skins may be treated in the same way, by first• Soaking till soft, and wringing out as dry as possible. I can make such leather as the sample I . send you from sheep-skin, by the following process, which is also good ' for furs and small skins::—First, trim the skins of all useless parts ; second, soak till perfectly soft, and flesh them well; third, wash thoroughly in a suds of soap and sal soda to free from grease, and rinse in clean water to free from soap , and soda, then rub them as dry as possible; fourth, dissolve two ounces of salt in about a quart of water and add three quarts of sweet milk (or four quarts of bran water) and one ounce best sulphuric acid; fifth, put in the skins'and stir briskly forty or fifty minutes; and; take them dripping from this and put them in a strong solution of sal soda, and stir as long as it foams. Rub them from this as dry as possible, and hang in a cool place to dry; work them when nearly dry and they will dry soft. ,Lime and ashes will take off fay, hair or wool, and sour milk will take out the lime and ashes., The black fur' was tanned'by the first process, (with saltpetre and alum.)—M. ticker in Rural NM Yorker. The editor appends the .following: re marks:7---The samples of tanned skin accom panying this letter are very finely prepared. The sheep skin is very strong, white, and soft.

How to keep a cow economically is a pro blem that - many a family in the suburbs of all cities would - be glad to solire. It must be done in connection with a garden. ;It is idle to think of pasturage. That is a waste of manure, and for the garden it-is worth a considerable portion of the cash necessary to' pay out for forage. If you have half an acre of ground you can keep a cow and grow all the vegetables you need by' pirehasing two tons of hay, or its equi valent, in a year. Indeed, we are not sure but ybu may, get through with one, which is only half the allowance of the winter months. _put you, may gain the other by growing Indian corn as a second crop after all early vegetables, , and with that you may have rye growing at the same 'time, which will give feed early in the spring, which maybe cut'in time to plant several •other crops. Four square rods of corn, planted in close drills, just as early as possible, upon well manured ground, will give green food by the time the rye is gone. The stubble turned under gives a fair coat - of manure. The corn will be followed by an other crop7not of corn, but of some kind of vegetables for use or sale. For instance, cucumbers for pickles, and with these, sown about the 10th of • August, a crop of white turnips or rye, for soiling and ma ' Folf you intend to make the garden in great, part support a cow, keep no t pig. • THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1865.- Teach the cow to eat all the slots and gar bage of the kitchen. Don't waste a leaf of cabbage, beets, carrots, parsnips, celery, nor any other green thing. Every pea and bean pod, and vine, and every potato or turnip paring, and every green corn husk and cob, and even green potato tops, will be eaten with avidity by the cow in the stable. And in the stable you must keep her all the time. You need not fear any unhealthiness if you keep it cleanly. Let the floor be earth, and use fresh earth every' day for bedding, and every day you will gain a pile of rich manure. With careful economy you will be surprised to see what a cow will learn to eat, and how cheipli you can keep a cow and a garden.—N. Y. Tribune. THE BEST TIME TO PRUNE TREES.-At the last meeting of the Farmers' Club there was a long discussion on pruninp; trees, by Dr. Ward, and Messrs. Ely, Car penter, and Smith, and they agreed in opinion, as the result of their experience,, that the best time for pruning is the sum mer, when the trees are growing.'. Trees pruned at that time heal more rea7dily, and are less likely to be attacked by black blast, or otherwise injured, than if pruned in the winter. No MAN living, says Judge French, can show a good orchard or grafted fruit which was kept in grass the first ten years of its life. <•lt is a point settled beyond contro versy, that orchard's to be healthy and pro ductive, must be cultivated most , of the time: gttatit,s, SELECT'CLiSSICAL YU RELISH SCHOOL, S.
