ITukk is n convincingnrgument. It is on
ly those who preach hardshell sermons that
ft-rike sinners to conviction : My brethren
and sisters, if a man's full of religion you
can't hurt him. There were the three Abri
can children : they put 'em in a fiery furnace
betted seven times better than could be bet,
and it didn't hinge a hair on their heads:
and there was John the Kvangeler, they put
him and where do you think brethren and
tasters, they put him ? Why they put him
into a caladronic of bilin' ile and biled him
nil night, and it didn't faze his shell ! Ami
there was Dan'el, they put him into a lion's
den and what, my fellow traveler and re
spected auditors, do you think he was put
into a lion's den for? 'Why for praying
three times a day. Don't be alarmed breth
ren and sisters, I don't think any of you will
ever get into u lion's den.''

who drinks and stutters, anil stutters and

of tongue and was a great liar we hope he
has reformed, for he professed to become a
good man, niid was baptized in the river.
It was a bitter cold day in winter, and the
ice had to be cut to make a place for the
ceremony. Tom was in attendance, and
close, by. As Jim came up out of the water
Torn said to him :
"Is it c-c-eold, Jim?''
'Xo," replied Jim, "not nt all.''
"I)-d-dip him again m-in-miuister,'' cried
Tom ; '"he l-l-lies yet."
Grace after Meat. One day at the
tiible of Dr. Pearse, (Dean of Ely just us the
eloih was being removed, the subject of
discourse happened to be that of an extraor
dinary mortality among the layer. "We
have lost." said a trcntlcman. '"not less than
i eminent barritcrs in as many month.-;.'"
1 lie Dean, who was quite deaf, ro-e as his
friend finished his remarks and gave the
company grace. "For this and every other
.i-ry, the Lord's name be praised!,' The
effect was i.ircsislible.
How trie Liked Them. Dr. Francis was
wag, and once when early peas were on the
table, he emptied the contents of his snutf
box over them. "Francis! Francis!"' ex

' I like them that way," was the answer.
He, of course, had the dish to himself ; when
bad concluded, he exclaimed: "You
thought it was snuff, did you f MotUing but

Some years s!m e. fVtlt V. Johnson was
t hcted a member of the Legislature
from one of the Western counties. Dessiring
to make a favorable impression, lie prepared
himself with great care for his. speech, lie
commenced :
"Mr. Speaker, when I reflect on the char
acter of General Washington "and he ime
to a sudden stop. Again he commenced.
"Mr. Speaker, w hen I reflect on the charac

Mopped. He essayed a third lime, and got
no further: when a fellow-member brought
him nnd the House both down by suggesting
wether it was in order for a member of the

AittHDtt.igcs of Farming near homo Vinehniil
IltiHiirks iipvn Mart ,S'oi, its great I'trtility
The Cause of I'trtility Amount of Crops
Produced Practical Evidence.
It is certainly ono of the most extensive fertilo
tracts, iu an almost level position, and suitable con
dition for pleasant farming that we know of this side
of tho westorn prairies. We found some of the oldest
farms apparently just as profitably productive ns
when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years
jero.
The geologist would soon diseoveT the cause of this
continued fortilitv. The whole country is a marine
deposit, nnd all through tho soil we found evidences
of calcareous suttstances. generally in the form of
indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct
forms of ancient 9hells. of tho tertiajy formation ; and
this marly suUstance is scattered ail through the soil,
in a very comminuted form, and iu Ihe exact condi
tion most easily assimilated by cuch plants as Ihe
farmer desires lo cultivate.
Marl, in nil its forms, has been use.l to fertilize
crops in Kngland, from the time it was occupied by
the Romans ; and' in Franco and Ciennany a marl bed
is counted on ns a valunhlo bed of manure, that can
bo dug nnd carted and spread over the field. How
much more vuliiable, then, h must bo, w hen found
already mixed through the soil, where new particles
will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to
the owner's use every time ho stirs the earth.
Having then satisfied our minds of the cause, they
will not bo excited with wonder at seeing indubitable
evidenco of fertility in a soil which in other situa
tions, having tho same general charaeteriatics or nt
least npponrances, is entirely unremunerativc, except
lot its productiveness is promoted by urtiliciul fertili
sation. A few words about tho equality nnd value of this
laud for cultivation, of which we have sumo strong
proof.
Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin
township, Gloucester county, who purchased some
eight miles north of Millvillo, about three years ago,
for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work
up the timber into lumber, to send off by tho new
railroad, us well as tho firewood and coal, for which
ho built a branch truck n mile nnd a half long. Ho
also furnished sixteen miles of the road with ties, and
has no doubt made tho mill profitable, though his
main object was to open a farm, having become con
vinced that Uie soil was valuable for cultivation. In
this he has not been disappointed, us soma of his
nop-; prove. For instance, last year, thesecond time
of cropping. .IimI bushclsof potatoes ononeacre. worth
f0 cents a bushel in the Geld. This year, seveu aeros,
without manure, producod 30 bushels of oats. Iu
one field, tho first crop was fxitatoes, planted luuoug
tho roots, aud yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes were
dug and wheat sown, and yielded 19 bushels; und
the stubblo turned under and sown to buckwheat,
which yielded Xii bushels ; and then the ground was
sown lo clover aud timothy, which gave us a lirstcrop
2i tmis per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were, first,
Bhes from clearings ; eeeond. 225 pounds of super
phosphate of lime ; third. 200 pounds Peruvian
guano ; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has beeu
spread upon tho clover since ii wtui mowed, tuid
turned in for wheat. ,
Mr. Wilsou's growing crops, and the heat stubble
of the present season, all iudicute his land us produc
tive as any part of the State.
At Mary Harrow's, uu obi style Jersey woman
firmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were
s i particularly struck with the fine appearance of a
field of corn, tout wo stopped to inquire of the hired
man how it was produced. AYo found that the land
had been the year but one before iu wheat, sown with
clover, and this cut one season, and last spring plow ed
once, wilh ono "poor old nag," and planted with
oorn.
Yes, but you manured high, we suppose ?'' wo
said interrogatively, and got this reply :
-l ail. you seo, we couldn't adone that ; causewe
hadn't but forty onc-hosro loads altogether, for 23
ncr-s, aud we wanted the most on't for the struck."
The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cu
cumber?, melons, Ac, and u very productive patch
ol Luna beans, grown for marketing. So wo were
s.-tli.-ticd that the soil was not infertile, even unaided
by clover, which had fed tliccoru, becaue the "truck
pateh" hail uot been elovered, and had beeu in cul
tivation lung enuugh to obliterate all signs of tho
forest.
Our next vi-it was to the farm of Audrew Sharp,
five miles north of Milhille, from half to a inilo east
of the ruilroad. aud just ulsiut in the centre of Vine
bind. Mr. Shajp commeuced work here iu Ilecein
her, upon 270 acres. In b-ss than throe years,
be has got 2-'!l aoreseleared and in crois this season,
all w ell enclosed und divided into several fields, with
cedar rail or polo fence ; has built a two story dwell
ing, about .d by 40 feet, und asinulKr house for farm
l.-iLirers. and a stable uud granuiy aud some other
out-buildings.
Considerable part of tho land wasoleared for tho
plow al au acre, and on some of it the first crop
was but kwheat, limed witu 50 bushels iu powder per
ai-ro. This crop may bo put iu July -ttii. to20lh.and
yields 2o to 30 bushels per acre, hsrveeud in Novem
ber ; when the land being sowed with 150 lbs. of
Peruvian guano nnd seeded with rye, yielded 12 to
15 biehels iier aero and $10 worth of straw. Theryn
stubblo turned, alter knocking off a large growth of
oak sprouts, and dressed again withguuuoand seeded
lo wheat, gave 15 or 10 bu.lieU. The crop which he
was threshing while we were there promised more,
of a very plump grain, nnd the straw is very heavy.
Wo went over the stubble and found the clover
aud timothy, from seed sowed last spring, on tho wheat,
without borrowing, looking as well as we ever saw it
upon any old cultivated farm, and with a little work
done iu the winter to clear off some roots and rotten
stumps, and setting stakes to mark permanent ones,
ho will be uhlo to cut tho crop tho next year wilh a
mowing machine, uud wo will guarantee two tons per

Cultivate the Cantaloupe.
Thorsj i no reason in the world wliy our
fanner generally and all Ttlio liavc n little
cround to ipan, sbould not have tln.ir rt'RU
lar crop of Canteloupes upon their own

to produce than some other i-rops retilurly
cullivatrd. Of course to raise irood ennt';-
lonpcs it tvill require attention nomewhitl
dillvrcnt, but thin should deprive none of
the enioynieut of nn nnmtul supply of thi
moat delicious fruit. 'We therefore print
again our own mode of cultivation,
For the Cauteloupe, a sandy lontn is itl
wnys to be preferred ; but any light, friable
soil, with a southern exposure, free from
prevailing moisture, will answer. The
grouud should be converted into a fine
tilth the hills should be i.luii out to the
depth of ten or twelve inelirv eighteen
inches in diameter, which should lu filled
with one-third well rotted short manure,
one-third good pnnd (should the soil not
possess any,) and one-third rich earth, well
mixed. The hills should be from t ight to
twelve feet apnrt each way, as room may
allow, and the seed, say five to a hill, should
be planted over the whole hill mi inch below
the surface. When tho sprouts are two
inches high, give Ibrm a sprinkling of wood
aahes, while the (lew is on, or after watering
them, aud repeat three or four times dining
the two following weeks. This will drivo
away the insects. AVhtn they are six inches
high remove all but two or three vines, hc
cording to the space between the rows, and
carefully put round, not to the vims, a little
gnano. In removing the weeds from tho
beds, the vines should not be disturbed, as
the rootlets which ponetrute the earth from
the vinos, and w hich supply the principal
nourishment to the fruit, will be destroyed.
Nothing more is needed to yield an tiniotint
of this delicious melon that will astoiiifh
the uninitiated, and of a quality utuqunUd
by the best productions of Jersey. At least
this is our experience. From ten to twenty
hills are sufficient for a family.

It answers an admirable purpose, in pro

allow their old bushes to die out without
knowing how or at least neglecting to n. new
their stock, when there is nothing in the
catalogue of reproduction easier. Take cut
tings of last year's wood from six to twelve
inches in length, and push them into thu
ground where they are desired to grow,
press the until around them firmly with thu
foot. Iffres instead of bushes are preferred,
cut all the eyes going beneath the surface of
the ground, mulch them and let them alor.c.
After some experience wc prefer the bush
mode. They hist for a generation, by cutting
out the very old or dead wood annually ;
whereas, when the tr-m decays, there's an
end of it.
AY i! prefer the old red Dutch currant to
any other, and especially the "sensation''
varieties constantly being brought to notice.
The white varieties, though very pretty and
large, are more acid than the red, und the
