ABOUT THE CHURCHES. JUDGE TOUBGEE ON "TSB PHEISTIAN CITIZEN."--Tbe amphitheatre at Chau tauqua was filled with an eager throng several days ago which had gathered to listen to an address by . Judge'Tourgee on -" The Christian Citizen." For an hour he talked in an entertaining way 'of the responsibilities and privileges ,{ of the Christian citizenHThe term citizen, he said, signifies a e&;ordinate element in a self-governing oommnaity, and he defined Christian as a term including every man who believes in the teachings of Jesus -of :Nazareth, or is imbued with hii teach ings, or, if not, knows that be ought to be. In the course of his address be said in tubstance : "Christianity is not like the dreamy religions of the drowsy East. It is a positive, active, aggressive faith. - It lailizt passive,vuice.' The Christian is sent out into the world as a bomb is - -burled from a mortar—to bit, somebody, _ and le - hurt somebody ; and if be doesn't do it,_it Ten% the fault of the powder be: hind him. Christianity is the mother of the Republican idea. A popular notion prevails that the nearer a man would keep to God, the further be must keep away from politics. This is a criminally . fallacious notion.. What is political gov _ crnmeut? It is the big human end of re ligion. The responsibility of a country's future rests upon its people. A nation is not good by accident; But the chronic grumbler says - that the political life of to- day is so corrupt. I don't believe it. I believe in the public purity of to-day. I believe that our moral ethics, as a Nation, is at its highest-mark to-day. I have no sympathy with that class of people who keep calumniating our political" life, and - whose only mission seems to be to praise God and find . fault. We - only see the bright side of the past. A few years ago a crime could be forgotten before it reach ed the State line. To-day a deed of shame is read on three continents before the blood of the a'ssassin's knife is dried. If these charges are true, whose fault is it? I say, emphatically, the fault of those Christiansrsiho won't do their political duty. Prayer and voting once a year aren't enough. We are not to stand on - the pinnacle of our own pirity, and scold at evil ;we must meet our own personal duty, by putting our shoulder to the -- wheel of government. Oh, these coward ly Cfiristians who wrap themselves in the mantle of their ,own -righteousness, and ' will not enter the great battle. A Chris tian, a citizen, ought not to allow any po litical-question in which , he is interested to be decided without active work on his : Every man must do his duty be fore be grumbles at the perverseness of polities ; and this meal is • tbat he must give all the timehe Yeasimably can to the solution of all State problems." IT is a remarkable fact, which has not yet been adequately explained, that the - excess in - Candidates for - the ministry is most felt in the Methodist bodies. In .this country, the evil is less felt - now, and . is probably-passing away under the im provement in the times ; but in England - all the Methodist bodies feel it along with a cvippling of trade and commerce which is manifested in the eduction of the ca -pacity of these bodies to carry forward Their new church enterprises. Perhaps the real cause lies hi the" greater facility with which MethOdism puts ministers into the field. In good times, many men feel oiled to provide by business activity, . for their families ; in bad times they wir.i . - thiown back upon conference work. The older men stay in, the appointments are reduced in..numbers in some sections and do not increase fast enough in others. . The chief evil is that many strong young men arc lost to the ministry, because they are thrust back upon other Pursuits when . they are . reads -to enter; the conferences. Poi:;ibly some tactical management is ueciled—some Methodism-4u the supply. of men for the Ghristiari pulpit.—The ..11etkoiti'st. • Ii the statement be true,"tbat there are tine hundred and twenty-four theological seminaries iii the United States, there are,' as in care of the colleges, by several scores to many.. Inasmuch as six of these institutions hold one-fourth of the entire proiCerty 4 possessed by all, some of the one hundred and eighteen others_ must _figure in a small way. Each institution, Thowever i is supposed to have its building and corps of professors, and to involve so much 4xPenditure. All theological;semi- naries nre conceived to educate their stu dents at small expense ; but unless there are one hundred and twenty-four kinds of doctrine or essential methods of instruc tion in regard it, the expense would seem to be far too great, and to a large degree sitperlluOus. Suppose half of these insti tutions should sell Ont and help endow till others.— The ('hriittia 11 Union. IT has been announced that the ,devo tional services at the approaching centen nial celebration of the surrender of Corn wallis at Yorktown, on Sunday, October IGth, arc to be conducted by the Roman ( - atilt.lie Bishop of-Virginia, assisted by the Archbishop of Baltimore ; and the an nouncement has called forth surprise, not to say indignation. The chairman of the conth.itteo of arrangements is probably' . - an Irishman and a Catholic, and in that light there is a fitness that he should call, • iu this titatner,' upon those with whom he is in sympathy. Rut we venture to think that no other symptom of fitness- can be discerned in such an.arrangoment by the contemplative mind,—The Congregation: alkt. Eig ''',l;Nutv in Boston is not what it used to be. Sunday trains pour hundreds of poolde into the city from _the suburban towns, and they hasten by boati, to the sea-side resorts or to the Common and Pub lic Garden, where they attract attention by their noise and ill manners. The Congre. gaiionalist finds this change- unwelcome. "A general air of looseness is apparent," it says, "and the picture is made still more sombre by the fact that a consider able number of the churches are closed, though it must be admitted that such numbers of the usual attendants are ab sent in the country during the summer, that only the smallest congregation could be gathered even if the houses were open. We should - think that any who have been longing to see the European -Sabbath im ported, as an 'American institution, might see little further cbange necessary in or der to secure all they want. Nor is Bos ton, or Suffolk County, the only part of the State whicliexhibits this melancholy lapse from the good old safer and happier way." , V THERE appears to be a superabundance or Wesleyan ministers in some peals of Gnat Britain. At the Wesleyan Confer ence at Liverpool recently attention was drawn to the over-crowded state of the ministry, there being on the list a num ber of ministers for whom no circuits could be found. In view of this fact a resolution was carried that the Confer ence should receive no candidates for the ministry this year. The result of this de cision is that no applications will be en tertained until the next Conference, at though seventy-two students have passed the district meetings and are eligible for the pastorate. Such an important step has only been taken twice in the last for ty years. Vlisattasents. AGENTS! AGENTS! AGENTS! JOHN. B.

Towands, July 7,1881, Suggestions of and for the Season. .The leading farm - work for Sep tember, in many parts of the United State's, is the sowing of the fall crops. This' involves- putting, the snit in thorough readiness, and the sclec- Ulm and sowing of.the seed. There are a -number of 'essentials in the proper preparation of a seedbed, ' all of which should obtain in every field devoted to a grain crop. The soil shOuld be rieh, either by the accumu lated fertility of long years of undis turbed vegetation the virgin soil, or made so by the addition 4 'of a fer tilizer in the form of barn-yard' dung oc the so-called "chemical manures." Of these two e 'that made in tht barn yard and stable is the first to be chosen, and the superphosphates and other "salts" only used as a supple ment to the barn-yard manure or in - eases where the latter is not, to be obtained. Next to richness should come a fine tilth. This requires that the soil be plowed in a thorough manner, and afterwards ; stirred with a harrow or some other cultiva tor—in fact with any implement, un til the lunips' are reduced and the whole soil is in 'a tine mellow state. The importance of the mellowness of the soil for all seeds can not be too strorgly insisted upon, as without it the seeds do not come into intimate contact with the particles of earth, and - therefore cannot make a good start, and many of them will not grow at all. With a good supply of plant food, in a good condition to be readily taken up by the young plants, the next thing is to select the seed and sow it properly. To put the matter of selection in a nut sow the best to be found, even if it costs double that of the ordinary sort. When the fact ; becomes more thoroughly known that -of two kinds of grain, for example, under inclenti de conditions, orie will yield twice as much as the other, more attention will be given to the proper selection of seed. It is not for us to say which variety of wheat or other grain is the best; depends upon" local circumstances and Conditions, and each farmer must,. after a careful study, decide - such matters for him self. The "Clawson" wheat is at present takinahigh tank for yield and quality in , "many localities. It may not be the hest for all places. Were it not for th 4! Hessian early sowing of wheat should be recommended in all cases. Lake sowing is a disadvantaae 'in itself, as the plants make a smaller growth before winter sets in. The richer the soil the later the sowing may be done with safety. THE rant GARDEN The old strawberry beds should be kept clean - of weeds, „ - removing all runners not needed for anew plant 3. New beds may be set this. rhobth,. but there is very little gained .in point of tirne i, over . - spring planting unless " potted plains " are trsed. These are plants from runners which pave stock root in pots of earth, set under them ; by removing. the eatth with the plant there is no . cheking of growth, and a fair' cro.p . Of fruit may be expected the following •sum-. mer. There is a gain in setting or dinary strawberry plants in the fall in that the soil is in better,e'Ondition; and that the kardenaand other work is not so pressincr.; Blackberries and _raspberries start very ;early - in .the spring, and should be_ Planted in the fall. If it is desired to propagate tile black caps, and a few,varieties of the red, the canes must.be bent dosin anti earth placed on the tips, which then will soon strike.root. lost red raspberries and - blackberrie's may be propagated - readily by "Suckers," or shoots which spring' from .below ground. The currants and gooseber ries may be pruned as soon as the leaves arc ready to fall. - Propaga- Mon is done by cuttings planted in rows with one bud abOve the surface. If put in early, they Will form roots before winter sets in. The gather ing of the grapes is an important op eration, and' is, best done - with the scissors made for the purpose ; this avoids handling the fruit , . which, by removing the `bloom , "• injures the appearance and .therefoTe the. sale. The use of trays for holding the r fruit . for curing, and the packing of grapes are fully treated , elsewhere - on this • EARLY FROSTS IN THE CARDEN.- " • Our gardens arc often at their best In early autumn. .We . have a few days of carry froSt i in which the Very tenderest things are otr, and then follow days, often weeks, of the most-delightful weather in which the plants that ,',llaVe.._ escaped the first frosts, are at . their best. It is very disheartening to •the amateur, to see• his beds of CpleuS, and his Cannas, all liMp• and: useless, while the hardier Geraniums seem to laugh at his disaster. So far as: we have noticed, this is the usual experience, and it occurs so regularly - each year, that it seems worth • While -to•prepare for these early frosts, in .order to pro; long the enjoyment of the garden. These ,early visitations, though suf- ficient to kill the . tenderest plants,. are so slight that l,hey may be,easily warded off. 'liat?A•cr may be plac ed_over the plants to „prevent-radia tion of heat, will answer.'The,' taller the plants, of course the more difil 7 cult it is to protect them. We have preserved a bed of-Cannas, by setting a still higher pole in the centre, tying a sheet by its middle to the pole, and letting the sheet hang over the plants, edges being .suliported ,by them. Beds of Coleus and, other-tender Oants . may be_ readily protected by newspapers, held, up by sticks placed, here and there in the bed. Indeed; in *early , autumn, the newspaper is a most useful horticultural appliance, not 'only in the tloweegarden, but in .= the vegetable garden. By a proper use-of newspapers for a few nightis-- `the early frogs' rarely continue Or more than three nights—the erob , a tomatoes may be prolonged for sev eral weeks; especially where the plants are-trained, as we have so of: ten advised, to a trellis or a support of some kind.—American Avicullu . risf. . 1 :Preserving Grapes for Winter As autumn approaches; we receive number of inquiries as to•the meth od: of preserving: grapes for winter U. -lt is not generally -understood thi l t, there. is as much difference in grapes, with respect to theirkeeping, as there is with other fruits. No one would expect to keep Early Harvest ' apples or Bartlett pears for 013.4oli days, and it is so with the most gen erally'cultivated grape, the Concord; it can be made to keep in condition long after it is airly ripe. With other varieties' it is different. There are some localitieS where that grand old grape, the Catawba, can still he cultivated with success, and, . . we e; la th e ease, one need. hard ly lookfor tbetter variety. The Isa. • inecieeda in some places,. and Is a fair keeper.- Better than either, it not the beet of all .grai)es,. the -lona gives good crops in some • places, as does .the Diana. Where either of these, the Isabella, Catawba, lona,- or t Diana can be grown, ther;; Is no difficulty in keeping them Until the . .firstof :the New Year, er later.; The grapes .are allowed to 40 ly - they are picked, awl placed - in shallow trays, in they remain in-en airy room to 'cure.' The ope-• ration of curing consists merely-in-a sort of wilting, by wbfeh the skin - lie. comes toughened; andlill not break when the fruit is'packed. The clus ters, when properly 'cured;_ar e packed 7n boxes, usually three or.iiv . t . pounds each. The bottom of the box- • is opened, the large. clusters laid in carefully, and smaller bunches packed in upon them in such a manner that would_,requite a moderate pressure to bring the cover (or,,properly, the bottom) of the box to its place, where it is nailed down. The pressure ti ,, e,d is such that when the top 'of the bo x is opened, the grapes :pest-are found to be somewhat Battened. The fruit *must - be pressed in such a man ner that it can not shake in . travel, . and this can only be done with gra_pes the skin of which haS been toughened - by being properly cured. It clusters were-placed in the box as they come froin the vines, and subjected to the needed pressure, the skin . would crack around the stems, liberating the-juice, and the whole would soon . pasS into . decay, Towards Christmas and New Years, many tons of the varieties *e. have named come tf3 the New York market: in -excellent condi tion. New varieties of,„igrapes,. of -great excellence, have recently been introduced, but; we have vet to learn: . as to their keeping the Concord and ri•! , tted the. skin is- too -ter, -"-r to allow o 'f, fong keeping,: and it d4s not seem to. toughen in the curing process. Still, with these, the se ion for home Use may be . ' consideral.ly prolonged. The • late Mr. Knox found that 6 Could. keep the Concord for some time by placing the tliciroug,hly ri pened clusters in ba,kets or boxt.,,,* with the leaves-of the vine below and between them. We do not - knpw-hov.- long this will keep these.grapes, but we saw some in excellent copditiun several weeks after . the harvest was over.. Those who set grape-vinci should be aware'thit.m. - ) one.
