dent Grant has made a rule to receive
no culls on the Sabbath, and has for
bidden his Secretaries to bring him
any letters 'or telegrams, except they
are on important public .business, in
answer to something he has called for.
In this connection, it' may not be'im
proper to 'give an incident that recent.
ly occurred in Washington equally
creditable to Senator Scott, of Penn•
sylvania. One Sabbath morning a
member of the Senate sent Mr. Scott a
package of papers with notice that he
would call in the evening to confer on
the subject matter. Calling according
to promise, the inquiry was made
whether ho had examined the papers
sent to him Senator Scott, who is a
ruling elder in the PresbyterianChureh,
promptly -replied that he had not—
that he had been accustomed to ob
serve the Christian Sabbath, and did
not propose to look at them till Mon
day morning=-as this . was Sabbath

SubSeribe for some agricultural' pa

what each of his- fields need, neither
do they observe properly the rotation
of crops, sowing upon one field one
kind.of - grain.year after year,Tiintil it
exhausts the ingredients requisite for
feeding that 'kind of grain, - until,' it
will raise it no more, then• putting in
another kind, and. so on„ tilt it will

other equally advantageouS crop.' )•

Looking Ahead.
We once fell in'with a business man,
and he warm person of wide experienco,
too,, WhO that, Whatever .nilght
happen to him, he always looked sixty
days ahead, rather than, sixty days be
hind. This was ,sensiblo, and there
was profound philosophy, in it. For
the habit . of looking on the daik side
of matters soon begets a despondent
feeling in the heart, and disinclines a
man to.-make any exertion at-all. To
look forward to betteCilays, however,
and to a turn of fortuno for better time,
is naturally calculated to inspire one
with! !enthusiasm; to stimulate' , one
With til t ° . n . ow Wi.rie of hope. It makes
all imaginable difference whether a man
desponds or hopes. Hence whoa a
blast of trouble comes, the true way is
to turn your back .upon it, to refuse to
have anything to do with it, to for
swear all connection with its threats
or promises,. Look ; ahead,' and look
up! what is gone hilione, and there is
ao help for it. Work for bettor for
tunes, and the bad will desert you in
absolute disgust at your ,uatmpressi
hility. ' : - .
