DOES THE BIBLE ENJOIN TOTAL AB-
STINENCE ?
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.—

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.
The next income from•the acre 'Wee $2000.",
