Have they any chance to work for themselves— are they allowed an acre or two to cultivate as they please, and from which they may receive the profits? Are they encouraged to read horticultural and agricultural pa pers, and to comment thereon, instructed by their parents in the elements of science necessary to the perfeot understanding of each article they read, and trained in habits of industrious, methodical and thoughtful reading, as in every other duty ? Are they encouraged to spend a part of their money in books—to form a library—to love them and their companionship ? Are country boys encouraged and taught to observe the phenomena of nature, so interesting to a rightly-trained mind. Are they taught to look upon the whole world as a museum filled with wonders, the interest of which is in exhaustible, and wherein a perpetual round of delight may be found; or do they not regard everything around them with about as much intelligent concern as does the horse or the ox ? This exercise of mind upon the phenomena of nature—research into her productions, the study of her won ders—is one of the processes by which man has raised himself above the brute. It is this exercise of mind, in connection with that growth which springs from obedi ence to the teachings of the Creator, by which man has become civilized to the ex tent we find him. Are the sons of farmers encouraged in this pleasant duty?—for it is a duty every one owes to himself to inform himself of the ways of the Creator, whether in the physical or moral world ; and no man can refuse to do so without suffering the. penalties of ignorance and mental pov-• arty.. How many farmers instruct their sons in the reasons for every process carried on upon the farm? How many ever at. tempt to instruct them in a knowledge of plants; their classification, properties and uses ? How many ever encourage them to study the soil and rock, and minerals around them, or make collection of objects of natu ral history, or of farm products, for their own improvements ? How many, in short, care anything about training the minds of heir sons in the way that would attach them to their business, by rendering it in teresting to the -young mind ? Since few or none do so, need we mender at the dis like the young feet for the mill-horse round of labor which brings to them no pleasure and no profit? A FEW WORDS ABOUT PLOUGHING. We have seen, within ten days, and with in ten miles of New York city, fields plough led beautifully; every furrow as straight as arrow, uniform in width, fifteen inches las nearly as the eye can measure, the sod neither lapped nor spaced, but dovetailing `in and shutting in every blade of grass. • It was on good land, with a deep soil, as could easily be seen by the geological structure of the entire region. The ancestors of these owners have probably ploughed thus for at least 250 years. We have said the work was beautiful. But the beautifully turned sod was only two and a half, or at most three linches thick. When will the owners of isuch farms learn that they have two other I farms under the old one, each every whit as good as the old. We advise them to ex plore a little on their home lots. Now, gentle reader, do not think we are going to exhort you rashly, regardless of the quality of your land, and without refer ence to the cultivation you have heretofore given it, to plough deep, deeper, deepest. No such thing. But we do exhort you, if your land is such as we have described, if there is no peculiar reason in your case for shoaling, if there is only a coldness and sourness in your sub-soil, easily remedied by sunning and airing, to plough a little deeper each year, till you shall have explor ed those two under farms of yours. Hitch a trifle higher in the clevis each year, lengthen the chain a little if need be, and don't ride the handles to keep the plough out, but put on a stronger team, if neces sary, and plough one inch deeper each year. At that rate, the right of the Chinese to their part of the globe will not be invaded by you for a long time to come. In eight or ten years, you will be in possession of those under farms, and will find them just as good as the upper one.—Evangelist. RURAL ORNAMENTS. There is such a vhing in rural economy as laying out, embellishing and arranging' grounds so as to promote symmetry, order and beauty, at the same time that utility is secured. A contemporary says :—" It is beginning now to be pretty generally un derstood, that a farmer may have a home which shall be extremely attractive. The means are within the reach of the hum blest, if he only has the taste." The house should be placed back from the highway, because this is more secure from dust, and is safer from the unscru pulous gaze of the staring traveler.. The yard in front should be occupied by or-' namental trees and shrubbery, rather than; with fruit trees. Where the latter are set out, the ground must be occasionally manured, and ploughed, and cultivated, through one or more seasons; therefore a good greensward cannot be maintained; under them, and the falling of unripe fruit land leaves 'must keep the surface more;or less polluted and unsightly. Fruit trees and shrubbery, indeed, every farmer should have; but a place, for these should be tip propriated, as in the orchard and gardens. But the front yard, to be handsome and to afford a good shade, should be occupied only by ornamental trees, such as sugar maple, elm, linden, horse-chestnut, etc., ' under which te grass may grow. They too should be so set out and intermixed, as to produce beauty by contrast, and not so as to appear monotonous. The trees on the south side of a house should never be evergreens ; but always deciduous—trees which, when the scorch ing days of summer are past, shed their foliage and let the rays or the sun in to warm and lighten the domestic retreats. The evergreens should occupy positions on the north, in order to shelter the premises against the effects of cold winds. They are excellent for this purpose. It seldom freezes hard in a hemlock or cedar thicket; animals seek shelter under the boughs of such evergreen shrubs and trees, and there suffer but little from the effects of cold weather. I should desire no better shelter or a warmer wall for the north side of my garden, then a close, well-trimmed hedge of arbor vitae. Delicate and tender plants will flourish wonderfullyunder such a genial protector. TO RETAIN THE COLOR OF FLOWERS. The following method has been given in a late number of the Journal of the Society of Arts : A vessel, with a moveable cover, is provided, and having removed the cover from it, a piece of metallic gauze of moder ate fineness is fixed over it,,and the cover replaced. A quantity of sand is then taken, sufficient to fill the vessel, and passed through a sieve into an iron pot, where it is heated, with the addition of a small quantity of stearine, carefully stirred, so as to thoroughly mix the ingredients. The quantity of stearine to be added is at the rate of half a pound to one hundred pounds of sand. Care must be taken not to add too much, as it would sink to the bottom and injure the flowers. The vessel, with its cover on, and the gauze beneath it, is then turned upside down, and the bottom being removed, the flowers to be operated upon are carefully placed on the gauze and the sand gently poured in, so as to cover the flowers entirely, the leaves being thus prevented from touching each other. The vessel is then put in a hot place, such, for instance, as the top of a baker's oven, where it is left for forty-eight hours. The flowers thus become dried, and they retain their natural colors. The vessel still re maining bottom upwards, the lid is taken off, and the sand runs away through the gauze, leaving the flowers uninjured. THINNING CORN IN THE HILLS. Thinning should always be done as soon as practicable after the corn has come up. This is usually done at the first 'hoeing, but should be delayed till danger from the grub, or cut-worm, is over. i . Unless careful labor ers are employed, any hills will be ne glected. Supelfluous stalks may be removed at, ,any convenient time, even in• lowery weather, when the soil is too wet to be worked with cultivators or hoes. The best manner of doing this is to cut them off close to the ground With a sharp knife, and drop them near , the 'standing corn. The stalks should be removed from the middle of the hill, that the remaining plants may stand as far from each other as possible l- the farther they stand apart, the larger the ears will grow. When the stalks are pulled up, they will often loosen and break the roots of thof that are left, but, if cutoff as directed, the roots soon die. If care be not exercised in dropping only a proper number of kernels in a hill, much labor will be required to thin out a large field. Still, it is better to do so than to allow five or six stalks to grow where there should be only three, or at most four. There will be more and better grain on four stalks than on a larger number. HOW TO MAKE AN OLD-FASHIONED ►SHORT-OAKE.—Take three teacups of sour cream, (or one cup of butter and two of butter-milk,) one teaspoonful of saleratuS; a little salt; do not mix very stiff. Bake in a hot oven. ~cient~~it. NEW USE OF CONDENSED AIR, A writer in the Mechanic's Magazine has the following ,singular plan for rendering vessels unsinkable :—" When any part of a vessel gives way and admits the water, the usual remedy is to pump it out as quickly as possible, either by manual power, or in the ease of steamers, by steam power, and great importance is often attached to the power of steam-pumpe, which, however, are often found useless in the hour of danger. Supposing a serious leak to have occurred, then follows the fight of the crew and pas sengers for life against the enemy. At one time the crew may gain a little, and at another the water gains a slight advantage; and unhappily this miserable and exhaust ing battle is not by any means an uncom mon occurrence. It seems to me that the whole system of endeavoring to keep down the water by any kind of pump is radically wrong in principle, for by pumping out the water space is left for more to come in. The true remedy is to pump air into the vessel, whereby each gallon forced in be comes a clear gain to the stability of the vessel, and leaves so much less space for the water to occupy. A very little exertion in this way would soon render a vessel of 1000 tons perfectly safe from foindering, without reference to the size of the leak, which might increase sufficiently to let the engines and boilers fall through the bottom of the 'vessel, without in the slightest de gree adding to the danger of the vessel's sinking: g „ "I therefore propose_ that , all passenger vessels should be-compelled 'to ; carry such u number of air-tight flexible *pus, when inflated in the different parts of - tike ship under the decks, would by theiiiibulk pre vent the vessel from sinking, even if the water had free access. The expense would not be a very large item, and nothing in comparison with the value of the sense of security to the passengers, and, therefore, of higher passage-money. An iron vessel without compartments, laden with stone or iron, if protected in this manner; would be just as safe from sinking by having, a hole knocked in her bottom as a timber-lad en ship. The bags, of (say) from twenty to fifty or more gallons, could be kept permanently filled with air in all vacant spaces of the ship not required to be visited during the voyage, and, upon the appearance of der, ger, other bags could be inflated in proper positions in the cabins or elsewhere, until the bulk occupied was more than sufficient to support the ship. A bump on the rocks leaving a large hole in the ship's bottom, provided the vesBel-did not break up her decks, would ,not Allen be of any great moment. In of steamers, the bags could be filled by air forced by the steam in a few minutes. THE A " SBYTEitIAN, THIJIISDAY. MAY 17. 1866. " In some experiments lately tried on the Thames, in propelling a large boat with air without machinery, I forced into the water, by aid of the steam from a 1-horse power boiler, about 1000 gallons of air a minute, and obtained a speed of three miles an hour through the water. If the London had been properly fitted upon the above plan, the steam from the boiler of her donkey engine would have rendered her perfectly safe from foundering in a few minutes." The Academy of Sciences at Paris has received from M. Duchatre a highly inte resting communication on certain well known plants called creepers,'because their stalks, too weak to support themselves, tend to twine themselves around the nearest ob jects. They generally do this from left to right, that is inversely _ to the ,motion of the sun, bat some species turn to the contrary direction, and it is impossible to make either the one or the other change its di rection. Palm, Von Mohl, Dutrochet, and latterly Ch. Darwin, have successfully ex pressed the opinion that light was the cause of this tendency; but further experiments being wanting to confirm this theory, M. Duchatre who discovered that the. Chinese yam could live a long while in the dark, resolved to try the effect of absence of light upon it. At the end of May, 1865, he placed one in a pot, and as soon as it showed its stem above the ground he took it down to a cellar, where it remained in complete darkness until the 2d of August following. The stern, in the course of seven weeks, grew to the length of a metre and a half. It looked withered and whitish, hitt was upon the whole strong and even. stiff, and perfectly straight, showing nowhere a ten dency to twine itself round the stick which had been placed there for its support. An: other yam was planted nearly a month later, and left exposed to daylight until it had twined itself twice round the stick. It was then taken and placed in the cellar, where its stem , still obeying its natural tendency,, went round once more, but in a more vertical direction than before; after which it grew straight up along its pole, to which it was fastened as it grew. It was now again taken up into the garden, where it immediately began to twine round again, making" five close turns; and when it 'was once more taken down into the cellar, it continued its growth again in a straight line, and so, nn, according as it was alter nately in the light or dark.—Every Satur day. Nulls vestigia retrorsum" is the motto over the Tuileries, so long as the wolf livek His hold upon the French people is, that since he has been at their head they have bullied. Europe. From the 'helpless insig nificance of the position they occupid under Louis Philippe, they have risen to be , the first power of th 4 world. Part of this they have acquired by hard knocks, and a large part by mere menace. Frenchmen will for give a great deal to, him who makes them formidable to every other people. It was. only when the prestige of the first Napoleon began to decline in this respeet, that men fell off in their allegiance to him. You may curtail, liberty in France, hamper daily life with restrictive laws, and tie down enter prise by enactments; you may torture trade with petty regulations, and reduce the press to insignificance. All these will be borne so long as Frenchmen feel that they are the terror of Europe, and that there is not a Cabinet on the Continent that does not tremble at their name. An insult to this sentiment is what they will not bear, and woe to him who would expose them them to it. The qestion then is, Can the Emperor retire from Mexico without incurring this stain ? I do not think that in the present case the Ameri cans will employ any unnecessary or un seemly rudeness. They will treat France with a deference they would not accord to tis. I make no complaint of that; I even see a certain fairness in it. They will not, in all probability, be very exacting as to the day or the hour, but yet, with Yankee tena city, I think I hear them saying, " Yes, sir, you've got to go. Yes, sir, that's a fact." A more insufferable piece of insolent pre tension cannot be imagined than what is called the Monroe doctrine. That my next-door neighbor should not live in a cer tain style lest the servants in my house should become dissatisfied, is too gross an absurdity to be 'entertained. That what ever rules I prescribe for my family should be adopted by every one who resides in the same street, is somewhat overbearing; and yet, with all this, I declare I am all for the Yankee in this Mexican row. It is not the justice of the case I want to think of. It is not whether France has right on her side, and whither this demand to retire be one of those mandates a high-spirited na tion cannot submit to; my whole consider ation is limited to the fact—here at last the great bully of Europe has met his match Here is a young, athletic, daring fellow, ready to go into the ring with that finished 'pugilist that none of us have courage to fight, and who, even with the gloves on, doubles, us up in a fashion far from agree able. A.merica dares to hold language to France that all Europe combined would not utter. There's no denying it; there's no qualifying it If we had a Continental coalition to morrow, we could not venture to say what America has just said What Minister of Russia, or England, or Austria, would say to the French Emperor, "We were think ing about something else when you slipped into Savoy and Nice the other day; now that our hands are free, you'll have to go back again." We are famous for brave words in our Foreign Office, but does any one expect that sucha message will ever issue irom Whitehall? 'We would'no more provoke the Tuileries by an insolent despatch, than we would go into One of Van A the lint,. toburgh's cages and kick It has become a sort of European superstiti on that France can beat every one, ,',, they I ani downright grateful to the Amer icans th at - don't believe it. CLIMBING PLANTS. tU u + OUR DEALINGS WITH . FRANCE. [FROM ‘.‘ BLACKWOOD'S' POINT OF VIEW.) I never knew I liked America so well till I began to speculate on this war. I never suspected that there really was that tie of kindred which journalists disparage by that false adulation they deal in. I hate all the cant of " consinship," but call them our own bone and blood; speak of them as a people who have the same leading traits as ourselves--sturdy, determined, untiring, unyielding—taking their share of hard knocks to-day, with a fixed resolve to repay them ,to-morrow; in _a word, of that stuff that makes right trusty friends' and very terrible enemies. Regard them in this light, 'and say, if a war should break out between them and France, what side you would like to back. I say, America. I'd lay my head on the issue; and if any gen tleman is willing to bet an equivalent—say another erown-piece—l cry " Done," and wait the event. Seta tattitatins.

Crit- tenden) is making the selection of suitable libraries for Sabbath schools a specialty, and has adopted, a plan for accomplishing this in the most satisfactory manner. DISCRETIONARY ORDERS may be sent him, simply, indicating the amount to be expended, and giving some general direction as to ,the size and kind of books desired, and'sending a list of boOks already in the library that they maynotbe duplicated. Such orders will belled 'froni any and all other pub ...limb-ins nausea where sound. readable, . ndractive. books elan be found; arid any books sent on such orders may be returned at the Cobtanittee's expeue if found unwholesome in moral tone, or in anyway unfit for the place they are designed , to fill. Concerning a recent order for two hundred and fifty books, thus filled at discretion, a well-known pastor of Central New York writes:—" I was so pleased with the selection, that I presented the subject to Presby tery. and much interest was expressed by the pastors is the features of your plan. I think you for the evident care exercised in filling oftr order, persuaded as I am, even from the cursory examination I have been able to give the books, that for the same number oivolumes it is the best selection we have had for our Sabbath-school library, far better than we could have made for ourselves. Both of our librarians concur in this judgment." One of "the pastors" referred to in this letter writes :—" Brother H— reported to Presbytery so favorably of your Sabbath school lihra ty selected for them, that I think we shall soon send to, you to get us one, and doubtless others wilL" N.

RIND READER: Would you like to see it demon strated, that the story of Samson and his Foxes, and that of the Dial of Ahaz, are evidently a mistransla tion?—the Stopping of the Sun and Moon by Joshua, an interpolation! and that the word of God contains nothing of these, as they axe in our common Transla tion? Would you like to inquire. among the institu tions of Jesus Christ, for certain dogmas 'of the Church, and not find them there? Would you see in what sense men are born in the Image of God? Be sides, Infidelity has asserted, that if the dead were to rise to-day, and to occupy as much space as when they were alive, they would cover the whole earth to the depth of some eight or ten feet; would YOU see it demonstrated, that space for at least jive burping grounds can be found within the limits of the State of New York, of sufficient capacity 'to bury every son and daughter of Adam?
