The Huntingdon Journal. Sarni gust4olll. The Horse an Aboriginal American. Out in Oregon the naturalists and archteologists, and the journals that speak for them, are objecting to the report of a lecture delivered at Nashvill, in which the lecturer is set down as saying, that until within "a year or two" it was supposed that there were no horses on the American continent until they were brought over by the Spanish invaders and conquerors. In this, if Professor Marsh is correctly report. ed, he probably meant to say that, until the discoveries of fossil remains of several distinct species of horses in the Rocky Mountain region within two or three years past, it was not known that the horse was indigenous to the American continent. But the Oregonians repudiate the Rocky Mountain claim, and assert prior discovery of the fossil horse in their own State by one of their own residents, Professor Con- don, some "five or more years ago," ThiP claim is undoubtedly good against what Professor Marsh is reported to have said ; but it may be doubted if he did say it, because he must have been aware that the fossil remains of at least one species of horse were unearthed from a limestone fissure not far from the corner of Philadel phia county notiess than five years ago by a member of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Science well known to Professor Marsh.—Phila. Ledger. Best Soil for Barley. Barley succeeds best on lands that are lighte or more sandy than those adapted to wheat or corn nevertheless, the crop is benefitted by manuring the land and ren dering it mellow by the use of the cultiva tor and harrow before sowing. Barnyard manure thoroughly rotted and incorporated into the soil is beneficial, but it should never be applied directly in the crop. Calcareous matter is beneficial to the qual ity of barley, and hence this crop has long been extensively cultivated on the chalky lands of Great Britain. Prof. Johnson says the effect of soil on barley is known to all farmers in that country, hence the terms "barley land" and "wheat land" are the usual designations for light and heavy soils. O■ clay lands the production of barley is greater, but it is of coarser quali ty and does not malt so well. On loans it is plump and fall of meal, and on light chalky soils the crop is light, but the grain is thin in the skin, of a rich color, and well adapted to making, which of course cnchances its value, as nearly all that is raised in this country is used for malt. In this country and in England it is rarely used as bread. Land that is heavy and rich will doubtless increase the yield of the crop, but the increased quantity would be at the expense of the quality of the grain for malting purposes. Lime on Land. Lime should never be mixed with the barn yard manure in a heap. The effect of lime on the manure will be to set free the volatile ammonia, and thus waste one of the most valuable constituents of the manure. Whether lime be quick or slack ed the action will be the same, though the ammonia will be much sooner set free by quick than by slacked lime. Strictly speaking, lime has a very beneficial effect on most soils, bringing previously inert plant food into a fit state for the use of plants. It is a powerful stimulent, and unless manure be used with it the use of lime would exhaust the soil sooner than it would be exhusted were no manure at all applied. Lime is most beneficial on strong clay and rich low lands. Upon wet undrained soils lime has no effect. Lime aboard always be applied to the surface. It has a tendency of itself to sink in the soil, and get beyond the reach of the young plants. It is well to draw it out in a quick state, deposit it in heaps and there let it be slacked by the action of the air. As soon as it is finely powdered, spread it broadcast at the rate of ten to twenty bush els to the acre, and harrow it in the seed. Much of the good effects will be lost if the lime is not in a finely powdered state when applied.— Canada Farmer. Breeding of Animals. If sheep are staple in your breeding,give no place to any but those which yield the heaviest fleeces and the greatest amount of meat. If cattle, select those that will attain a maximum of weight in two instead of four years. If hogs, select a breed that 'rill not only eat and be satisfied, but when they have converted corn into pork will yield a maximum number of pounds for a maximum number of bushels. If the kind you are breeding will not do this, you are wasting your sniOnnoe. A lean uneasy hog eats moot.; a scrubby, scrawny steer is never satisfied, s will never satisfy the owner; a "plug" of a horse will keep a common man poor, and never be anything but aping; poor sheep are:expensive; in a word, poor steck of any kind is! burden and an eigenee ao eaviford to carry, and the, lieedieig oat of these useless, ex pensive *Faille, cannot be too promptly aceomplialied: Fewer and better is a good motto ;don't Watt YstU textiyear to begin this elimitaiipgirqs, bleb- do it now.

Their average yield last year was very nearly 5,000 quarts per cow. qkrounb Waiting and Watching for Me. When mysterious whispers are floating about, And voices that will not be still, Shall summon me hence from the slippery shore, To waves that are silent and still; When I look, with changed eyes, at the Home of the Blest Far out of the reach of the sea, Will any one stand at the beautiful gate, Waiting and watching for me? There are little ones glancing about en my path, In need of a friend and a guide; There are dim little eyes looking up into mine, Whose tears could be easily dried ; But Jesus may beckon the children away, In the midst of their grief or their glee ; Will any of these, at that beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? There are old and forsaken, who linger awhile In the homes which their dearest have left And an action of love, or a few gentle words, Might cheer the sad spirit bereft; But the reaper is near to the long standing corn, The weary shall soon be set free— Will any of these at the beautiful gate Be waiting and watching for me ? There are dear ones at home, I may bless with my love; There are wretched ones pacing the street ; There are friendless and suffering strangers around, Thereare tempted and poor I must meet ; There are many unthought of, whom, happy and blest, In the land of the good I shall see— Will any of them at the beautiful gate Be waiting and watching for me ? I may be brought there by the manifold grace: Of the Saviour who loves to forgive, Though I bless not the hungry ones near by my side, Only pray for myself while I live ; But I think I should mourn o'er my selfish neglect, If sorrow in Heaven can be, If no one should stand at the beautiful gate, Waiting and watching for me. A Family Funeral. Every illustration of an improvement in methods of funerals is to be welcomed, and put to a good purpose. We witnessed one the other day which was in some ways mote suggestive than any other we remem ber. We only wish we could tell the story of it as simple, and touchingly as the facts of the case call for. The death had been one in a family ' peculiarly united in the spirit, though somewhat separated in the flesh. It sent a swift, a sharp pang through a very lov ing circle. The remains of the departed had been brought from another State for burial, and bad found a temporary resting place at a kinsman's on the way to the house appointed for all living. And there a little company of sorrowing friends gathered at a forenoon hour for the last offices of respect and love. Tere were no signs of gloom about that house of mourning. The sunshine of a brilliant winter's day poured in un checked at the windows. A cheery wood fire burned in the open grate. Words and smiles of friendly greeting mingled with the tears of grief that are common in bereavment. The open casket lay in a retired room, easy of access to any one who wished, privately, to see the face of the beloved, but not exposed to public view. Suddenly, while the assembled company was broken up by individual sympathies and relations into many groups, and while subdued converse about the dead and the sorrow was progressing, without notice or any touch of formality of service, a little cluster of singers, previously - selected from among the friends, struck up the noble hymn commencing : "Jerusalem the golden With milk and honey blest !" At the first strain all conversation ceas ed, the several groups melted into one family gathering, and silence natural and unbidden settled upon all. The voices of the singers—no professional band—gained in confidence, deepened with feeling, and rose in strength and melody, until every heart seemed touched with the same spirit and understanding by which they were moved. The hymn was finished. And again, without notice or other formality, a mem ber of the household rose and led in prayer. It was no strangert prayer, offered as a professional duty, but something which no such prayer could be. And that was all. The repetition of a consolatory passage of Scripture was left for the final scene of commitment to the grave. And it was enough. When shall we relieve the burial of our beloved dead of the odious publicities and hard formalities which too often now at tend it, and confine the sacredness of fam ily sorrow at its bitterest, within the fami ly alone ? Congregationalist. Our Lord's Life a Life of Health. It was a life of health. Among its many sorrows and trials, sickness alone was absent. We hear of His healing multi tudes of the sick—we never hear that he was sick Himself. It is true that the "golden Passional of the Book of Isaiah" says of God : "Surely He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, afflict ed. But He was wounded for our trans gressions; He was bruised for our iniqui ties; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed ;" but the best explanation of that passage has been already supplied from St. Matthew, that He suffered with those whom he saw suffer. He was touched with a feeling of our infirmities; His di vine sympathy made those sufferings His own. Certain it is that the story of His life and death shows exceptional powers of physical endurance. No one who was not endowed with perfect health could have stood out against the incessant and wear ing demands of such daily life as the Gos pel describes. Above all, He seems to have possessed that blessing of ready sleep, which is the best antidote to fatigue, and the best influence to calm the over wearied mind and "knit up the raveled sleeve of care." Even on the wave lashed deck of the little fishing boat, as it was tossed on the stormy sea, He could sleep with no better pillow than the hard, leather cover ed boss that served as the steersman's cushion. And often in those nights spent under the starry skies, in the wilderness and on the mountain top, He can have had no softer resting place than the grassy turf, no other covering than the tallith, or perhaps some stripped abba, such as often forms the sole bed of the present day And we shall see in the last sad scene how the same strength and constitution and endurance, even after all that He has un dergone, enabled him to hold out—after a sleepless night and a most exhaustless day —under fifteen hours of trial and torture, ' and the long protracted agony of a bitter death.—Farrar's Life of Christ.
