But the fact thatlis preaching Is not attractive to the multitude, is no proof that he is 'not "a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." • The sceptic may hold, i he will, that to nil human observation thiere are spots on the . sun's disc; I only task him to admit—and it would not seem an unreasonable request—l only ask him to admit that the pun shines, nevertheless. Dr. James Walker.. We know not 'what evils we have been preserved from ; for- dazzling prospects -do not always bring the cheer and comfort we expect, anti Protribe. of future gOod- often results in disappointment And Sorrow:- There , are blessings and privileges in every let us be 'thankful for those 'which fall to our lot.—lntelligeneer. Every real and searching effort at self-improVement is of itself a lesson of profound humility. ' For we can not move a step: without` learning and feeling the „waywardness, the weakness, the vacillation of our movements, or without desiring to be set upon the Rock , that .is higher than ourselves.-- , W. B. Gladstone. Ours is a religiop of life, not of selitilehres or relics. Precious indeed is every elic of the work of the hand we ina . )4tonch no more, but the hand of him we adore is working around us everyntere. The true relinquary of the Church is the Bible. Let us, if we will, treasure every idle of the deakwe honor. But Christ is not dead. rHe liveth evermore. Harm. is done by everything which - tends to vulgarize religion. Religion is the highest and most solemn con cern of man. Anything like an'ade ipmte c onception of God will inspire a religious assembly and a preacher with a profound 'awe. Everything • that savors of levity or 'flippancy, in connection with this subject, ought ,to excite the deepest. repugnance.— : .Selected. -.; Every object in nature is impress ed with , God's footsteps, and every day repeats the wonders of creation. There is not an object, be it pebble OF p - earl,' Weed or rose, the flower spang ed sward beneath, or the star span; ed sky above, not a worm or an angel, a drop of water or abound- . less oiean o in which intelligence may not discern, and piety adore, the providence of Him who took our nattr4 that he might save our souls. —Gqihric Wanted, a religibn thik has no he rois4fit cannot translate into every-' day 11 - fe; no sublimated sentiments that like party clothes are : too good forjeti•e:y day wear. Wanted, a reli gion that shall at once be independent, m4nly and tender,_ womanly ; is roll ddn that can tear self out I bf the heart, and fling the; doors wide for God and humanity.- What crowns we would all bare to fling at the feet of Christ, if, like him, we went about doing good.—s , ,+lthern Churchman. The-man who is bent first of all upon thronging his Church, will ot ten he compelled to resort to expedi ents unworthy of a preacher of the gospel. lie will; even though uneon selotisfrhold in the back groUnd • - those doctrines which are uninter osting or orfenSive twthe world; and, on the other ha - rid, embrace a good deal in his preadiing, that is foreign t 1) " Christ•and him 'crucified." lie will often be tempted to be sensa tional at the expense of truth, and . seek to be novel a nd thrilling rather than edifying.— Sin . Sit -William Napier said 'ot Sir John 'Moore, in his account of his "Be saw the inspiring! hope' of taiumph disappear,"imt the austere alof of suffering remain, and with 3 s t iron heart he aeeepted. the (rift of a severe fate." P believe that the peace makes joyful dying and useful livingAiossible will never conic .to any of us, till, like Sir John 'Moore, we actept as a matter of course the ihevieable•trials . of existence, and ae z relit them as a gift, as something td be eherishe'd and kept as our very own till death. - person at Newcastle who had a house to let took an applicant or it to the top floor, spoke of the <liffeet cut prospects, and added : \%e can scc Durhaw Cathedral on a Sunday." "On a 'Sunday," said the listener. "and pi4hy why not on a Monday ?" " Nyhy," said he, "because on week days great furnaces and pits are pouring forth their smoke and we capnot see so far ; indeed, we can scarcely see at all; but when the fifes are out our,Yiew 'is wide." Is not that a true symbol of our Sabbath days when we are in the spirit? The tl,loke of thejworld i no more beclouds the heavens, and we see almostpup to the goldenlgates.—Sporgeon. Which is the owner? The late George Pe.abodY said that he owned his,monky, and would not allow it to own him.. In this distinction lies all the difference \ between freedom and slavery. Where money is master man is down. We have known, in stall( es not a few. of Christian gentle men and women 'who gave away all or large portions ortheir annual in come's from certain sources,. prefer ring to he executors ofitheir 'own wills, and they had the flatisfaction of being benefactors. We have• also known others who have heaped up riches, not knowing who should gath er' them—whether lawyers, or. speed lators, or strangers, or heirs unfitted the: proper use 9f wealth. Which is' the more excellent way? 'lave you noticed the change which takes place in a porcelain globe when a light is lighted Within' it? The dull grayish shade giving place to the luminous_ white. That has seemed to me the best analogy to the resurrection of thei body' of which I entild conceive. The same person. each familiar teatnre there, but the spirit of t;inl dwelling with in and transpguring us, ith his light. A disembodied state has no particu lar n;s for me.

In my articles preceding, -I -insisted .on the' necessity of such a Course, and the season apprOaches for putting out our wheat crop, at which time I top-dress for the two-fold purpose of getting ft good' wheat crop and . sure catch of grass to forma_ per manent sod. I do not , attempt to top-dress unless I have fine manure. As the season is past for making manure for this fall's use on wheat, I will not giye my mode of prepar ing it now, hut will give details on this point in a future letter. My re- marks on top•dressing for, this crop will not benefit Codnor mach if be hag. used his last winter's stock of manure for other crops,,and has only summer-made manure for this falls use. I will take for granted that ast winter ' s manure has been care fully prepared and %Talent to haul as soon us the wheat ground is plowed. I also take . for "granted that the rotation of corn; oats and wheat is practiced, as here. Although I do•not 'regard- thiS- as the best chance for wheat, yet• circum- stances seem to force us into this ro tation, and I will not now urge my views against it. As soon as the oat crop.has, been removed, or even while - ; the shocks are in the field and not in:theline of the plow, I mark out my lands seven or eight steps wide, and back fUrrow four rounds on each one; then com mence 'milling manure, and, drop it in piles about fifteen feet apart, so that thirty good two-horse loads ‘rill go oVer an acre 'when spread evenly. It is easier balding over the.fieht be- MEN fore the plowing is all done. Do not feaf , that-the manure will waste any if, put in snug heaps. After the manure is all out, finish plowing the field immediately, and' let it lie until sowing- time. The longer the field remains after plowing the better,'as it will give time for the oats to sprout and grow before sowing. I always plow as soon as' possible, so as to get my wheat in by the first week in September, or not later than the middle of the month, and the ground should be plowed four weeks 'pre vious- if possible. When -the oat Stubble is well turned under but of sight (which it should be-in all cases), there will be no hindrance to spread; ing and harroviing in the manure. .Spread evenly well out to the dead furrow of each land, and .before nOv 'terrrowinc , is done. When one.lana is spread', give it a brush with the : harrow, and then folloW immediately with the roller or clod-crusher; then let it remain undisturbed until the Whole field - has been bone aver a land rita time in this way. Then harrow thoroughly with - a slanting-toothed harrow, both-ways' if • necessary, but do not use a vertical-tooth-harrow unless unavoidable. As soon as the field is well harrow ed, roll down and drill in the wheat.' If the land is cloddy, the roller or clod-crusher 'should tie used while the harrowing is-being done, so as-to get the surface as fine as possible. The crusher is best to grin I up the lumps. I pay great attention to fining the surface fur all my crops. I f the weather is dry when wheat is drilled - in a roller should 'be run over. it after the drill. This will press the seed in and hold moisture: 'lt.also packs the manure and soil together, so that the best results an obtained from the manure. Any one not used to this-.mode of, applying manure' will wonder where all the billk.has, gone, as the most.of it will be hid.- from sight and incorporated with,the soil to the depth-of three inches. l i r the soil is good, the crop is sure when other precautions are observed,: such as leading off all surpuls water, Sic. By this process, timothy -sowed in the fall with wheat will - . Make a rank growth and lessen the yield Of grain, bet will insure a grass crop, and no failure, if seed enough has been used to give an even catch. If a good wheat crop is very desirable,: it is best to wait until spring before sowing the grass seed, 'when. clover .ean be sown alsb if desired. I now ' adopt the latter course, and do not fail of a good wheat chop; and the grass comes sure also. Soule wilLask why I use a slantiticr tooth harrow. It is because the work is naive effectually done, as .every= `ime in passing over the teeth cut ici press the soil, and anything on_ is surface is drawn down into-the dl, cut by the teeth and evenly,dis. Abided. If manure is applied on the surface to the depth of three inches.--etin work it nearly all into the s ,so that little would,be seep. top. It is not so with vertical di. as in passing over theyloosen • bring the lumps to the surface, do not cut them, butipass over . push aside the material we so ich wish reduded to lii - ceness.. The only use I have' for' a vertical-tooth harrow is to bring clods to the sur face, so that the smoothing harrow' can ' cut 'them, and the -roller and crusher break ` them. I sometimes go over cloddy ground with the roll- which breaks up many lumps and presses the rest even with the sith face. Then I use' a slantinp•-tooth harrow, which will cut the . lumps which are bedded in, thus giving the' slanting teeth their best hold. If, any remain, the..roller or crusher isd again used, and then the smoothing' 1 harrow to finish with This mode will not disappoint any one having 1 pa t tience and perseverance enough to I make a good farmer. I may' here after give some of my. views in -.re-. .gard to different kinds of harrows. ' . . n. u. It. - Iluardinan; a.. July 10.
