We are amazed to find that people are not tired quoting the teNt wherein Paul recom mends Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach's sake. The majority of thos&who adduce this in opposition to our doarine, seem to think that it is a most conclusive and unanswerable ar:gument against total absti nence, Whereas in fact we hold it to be, -a. it - really is, one of the strongest arguments in itsfavor. In most instances, the;reply of the Irishman would be an appropriate enough rejoinder to those who flourish the textlin our fades. "Pat," said a brother Emeralder, " I hear you' 4 'irej_oined them tetotalers." "I have," said. Pat, " and .I'm proud -of " But, Pat, don't you know what. Paul wrote to Timothy, `_Take .a. little wine for your stomach's sake?' " " Well, then," said , Tat, "in the first place, I'm no Timothy, and in the second place there's nothing wrong with my stomach." Joking aside, however, what does this text really prove ? First. That Timothy, who was a most ex emplary character, was an out-and-out ab stainer. • Secbndly. That Paul advised him to take simply a little wine, as if more than a little would be wrong, or at least inexpedient. Thirdly. That it was to be taken for his stomach's sake, and oftedinfirnzities ; in other words,used as a medicine and not as a diet, which in point of fact, is just the identical principle embodied in every total abstinence . pledge. So that really, instead of proving anything against total abstinence, the. text proves that whereas Timothy was . an ultra extreme abstainer; Paul . recommended' to him the principle of abstinence without the extreme. There are some who trouble themselves very much about the question of the various kinds of wine mentioned in Scripture, about the marriage in Cana, and passages of that sort. For ourselves, we confess to very little curiosity or anxiety in the matter. The grand question which we in, the Nineteenth century and in Scotland have to consider is— , "If Christ and his apostles had been alive now and in this country, what would they have done? What would they have said? What would they have written ? We cannot gather a sufficient answer to these questions from isolated actions or words, acted or ut tered in totally different circumstances from ours. and in a remote age from this, but we can learn it distinctly by attending to what was the prevailing spirit of their actions and their utterances. What was the essence of Christ's life and teaching? What was the motive power which impelled- the labors of the apostles?.' What was the grand, supreme , , pervading spirit of the Christian religion ? Is it not love, self-denial, sacrifice for the good of others? "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth; or is made weak." If it can be proven that the principle of,our absti nence movement does not harmonize with that spirit, then we will confess that we are wrong, and that the Bible is against us.— ' Scottish _League. WE MUST FARM BETTER. Mr. Harris of the Genesee Farmer,. says " The more I see of the agriculture of the country, the more I am persuaded that we shall be compelled to farm better. it is vain to suppose that we can go on as we have done. There must be a change. The first flush of fertility in the soil4the accu mulation of leaves and other organic mat ter—is rapidly becoming exhausted, and we shall be compelled to spend more labor in the preparation of the land for the crops, and in furnishing more manure. The last census proves conclusively that the crops of the United States by no means increase as rapidly as the population. Agriculture has not been as profitable as it should be, and we need—and shall have—higher prices, and then farming will take a higher rank than it has hitherto occupied in this coun try." THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1865 The great improvement in gardeik vege: tables by hybridization and good cultdTh, and the constant increased demand, should induce country people to grow them more largely. The old species of Rhubarb is little better than a Burdock, compared with new varie ties, and needs thrice the quantity of sugar to prepare it for the table.. Prince Albert is a fortnight earlier than all others: is rich, crisp and tender. Victoria, Magnum Bonum, and Myatt's Linnceus, make very thick and long leaf stalks, and their pleasant acid incorpora ting with the sugar, in cooking makesvuost delicious dish, equal to tree. 'fruits ; good sized roots should be procured. Of Aspara gus, the Giant and Mammoth are the best; plant two, year old plants. Of Peas, _Extra L'arly and Dan O'Rourke are the best early, and the former has been very popular for thirty years back. Early .Frame is only sur passed by Extra ' Early; it was long called Washington, after the father of his country. Champion of England was the best second Early ; but Eugenie (new and scarce yet) far surpasses the- Champion in good - qualities, and is the best pea yet inexistence.: Blue Imperial is a third . Early, and has been un equalled in its season for good qualities ,for the past fifty years. The, aboVe varieties, sowed a week after each other, will keep up a long succession of green-peas. Of Sweet Corn, Stowell's Evergreen far surpasses every other kind, but the old Sugar, of which, there are several varieties, comes into use 'sooner, and may be,plaiited for an early crop. .Of. Pole Beans, the Lima is the only kind that we would buy poles, for. Of Bush Beans,. the Early Valentine:ind Late Valentine are best, and continue .bearing a long time. The Early Yellow and Mohawks, or early six weeks, may be -planted' for a first crop ; the three kinds will. give a succession of green pods for six months. Of Tomatoes, the Cook's Favorite is a good variety ; the Extra Early comes into use a fortnight be foie all others, and is excellent; the lliee is a good .late variety; three varieties are enough for any, family. . In respect to saving seeds, great care is re quired. When vegetables fire in bfoom they will get-hybridized with other. .kindred varie .ties growing -a hundred yards off, which de stroys their purity. The small suni needed to purchase fresh 'supplies - of seeds every spring; will be made-up 'by better production and' purer varieties, grown by professional and experienced , seed-growers. Of Strawbeiries, French's Seedling is the best early, of thrifty growth, an abundant bearer, the -fr,ifit, large, of a shining scarlet, and of first rate quality. Haim s -Seedling, and Triomphe d' aand, set out for lale. crops, will make a long season of strawberries. Of Raspberries, the Philadelphia is har diest, of thrifty growth, and c a prodigious bearer, and in quality-equal to the best. Theimproved •Prite' Cane is also a very desirable hardy variety, There are many l i kier choice kinds, but they require protec toilin winter. Of Blackberries; the liawton is best, the fruit is very large, rich and very delicious, and ; the plants, bear wonderful heavy crops, :re gardless of weather. We know but little im provement in Currants and Gooseberries. The White Grape Currant we consider the) best and most profitable white. Victoria, thq best red currant. No variety of gooseberry so desirable as the Houghton Seething, as never. mildews, which is the great drawback to the fine English varieties. •, •The above small fruits with cherries, keep up a succession for - three months,' when ripe peaches, early apples and • pears, come in to succeed them.—Rural Advertiser: A correspondent, who greatly, enjoys " dish of ripe strawberries smothered in cream." and who has been victimized on two or three occasions, writes us as folloWs. His remarks are worthy the attention of those who intend to plant the present spring. -.\ "As the season is now approaching for planting innall fruits, and many in4uiries are constantly being made for strawbeiry plants, much trouble and anxiety might be t saved to growers, if, in - orderineplants, they would bear in mind that many who advertise plants for sale, pay but little attention to have the varieties kept separate, and lots of them are sent out with the different varieties so mixed up, that ntuch disappointment and vexation result to the cultivator when the plants come to bear, to.find 'that-they are not what they' expected. ' This difficulty often' - arises from thegrower of the plants.not being swirl ciently,apquainted with the different varieties So as to detect, by their aPpearanee or sex, 'one from-another. , "Numerous instances have come under my notice of plants being sold 'Chat were so dui-- pure .as to, render them nearly valueless. It sometimes occurs by confounding varieties, as the Russell and Buffalo_, - many contending they are identical, while I think any one at all, familiar with thegrowth and habit of the strawberry cannot fail to discover a Marked difference. "In one instance I purchased some plantS" for anew variety at a high price, that proved .to be' no. other than Wilson's Albany, of whiCh 1' had an ample supply, and were, of course, worthless. At another time a dozen was procured at the highest price, one-half of which were' spurious .and were destroyed. Other instances might be cited, but these may suffice, ." It is much better to pay a fair price for a genuine article, grown so as to insure strength and purity, than to have : as a gift an article upon which we cannot rely."—Rural Adver. SMALL FARMS AND HIGH CULTURE, A correspondent of, the Providence (R. I.) Press makes the following statement of the profits of a single acre of land cultiva ted the last season by D. S. Reed, of Bris tol, Rhode Island : " The profits of an acre of land. Noticing in Monday's Press your statement about Captain A. B. Chadsey's crop of onions and carrots from 21 acres, I desire to give you a statement of D. S. Reed, of Bristol. His lot contained one acre, five-eighths of which was planted with onions and three-eighths devoted to raising onion seed and some other crops of small account. He sold in one lot' from the five-eights of an acre $1248 worth of' onions, and has 150 bush els still on hand which, at $1 50 per bushel . , would make his crop of onions bring $1450. From the other three-eighths of the acre he sold to Burdick - & Barrett $6OO worth of onion seed, and reserved $lOO worth for his owir-use. Now add $75 for a good crop of carrots, put in after taking off the onions,, and we have the nice little sum of $2248 as the yield of one acre.
