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."

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.

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.

for curing, and the packing of grapes

• 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

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

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

time by placing the tliciroug,hly ri

between them. We do not - knpw-hov.-
