acting and reacting upon each• othei, (this
morbid condition arising, in many cases, as
it certainly did, in the case .of the writer of
this , , article, from the deleterious influence
of certain notions, popularly associated with -
experimental religion, but Constituting

epoch in the history. If suck a
change were to take place, multitudes who
are being seduced away from our sanctuary
by Universalism, Unitarianism, Spiritualism,
and the other hurtfid delusions, of the day,
would gladly hasten back to the Churches of
their early attachment, Along with the
spiriietirring, .and life-imparting orthodoxy
of the Prophets t of the Apostles and, of, our
fathers; they might enjoy intellectual free
dein, and intellectnal satisfaCtion.
The time will dome, ere longi ;when the
saganioui and reflective, outside of the.com
munion' of the Church, will, see, that it not
orthodoxy, that it pis not true religion, but
some human admixtures with it, which have
frowned upon literature, art and science—
that, in fact,true Christianity is. the mother
of , a pure literature, and of true science.
They will see that, along with their natural,
and social enjoyments, .their intellectual pre
-
gram, and their worldly advantages, they
may enjoy, also, the.higher and: purer
pleasures of:Cluistian faith and'hope,. And
good men in the Church will see, that along
with,the rove of the . Lord:Jeans Christ, and
the grace of God the Father,
.and the com
munion of the HolyGhost r the fellowship of
the 'Saints, and the bliss of a heavenly hope,
they may consistently enjoy , the innocent

A few years ago, there lived near O. J.
New Jersey a family consisting of the
parents, two daughters, and a son: They
were r indeed, a happy family.. Pure affec
tion, founded on intelligence and piety, ex
isted there, •
..-Th9. l 49thPeg hmdth was ra.ther, delieate,
and at times she thought her life might not
be:spared until, her: family were, grown and
this.feeling,.po doubt,' led , her to double _her

as their temporal, welfare, while the day
.should last. - • '
The fatherpossessed ,true-piety,. and a
marltahly • affectionate , disposition. His
greatest desire for his children, was, that
they should,aillie gathered into the fold of
Christ.
Re sometimes, rim , arked, when , any , of
them were absent at meals, that if he grati
fied his own..selfiek feelings) he would never
allow„them to leave` home, as it always pain
ed him to see any of their seats vacant. At
the ages of .sixteen, fourteen, -and eleven
years, all the children became members of

THE PRESBYTERIAN -- DINNER AND ADVOCATE.
The second daughter was about to change
her relation in life, when evidences of fail
ing health appeared. The wedding was de
ferred for some months, when she seemed to
rally; and•fond friends again dared to hope.
But, alas I notwithstanding their prayers
and tears, and though a fond husband en
treated, in the anguish of his , soul, that
death would stay his hand, and not come
thus untimely, the dart was aimed, and the
,mark sure. In less than two months after
the nuptial knot was tied, and ere the . bri
dal flowers had withered, they laid her
young, loving, and beautiful as she was, in
the silent tomb. In a letter to a beloved
relation, too weeks before 'her death, she
says: " I expect this will be the last I shall
ever write. I trust we shall meet in
heaven ; it is net likely we, ever will' on
earth., All is ,peace within ;,. my, whole
heart I-have given to the .Saviour my. only
,hope is in him. Who can help loving, such
a Saviour 1 Good , byeldear I feel
that my time on earth is short; but r o - how
pleisingthe't4Ougpi I go to' dwell for,
ever with the Lord not fors' diyOr
month, , or a year, but. forever with the
Lord."
A few years passed, ,, and Time had just
begun' to cast a softening shadew over . the..
hearts so sorely Wounded; when an only
was torn from their arms, leaving one 'of the
.most perfect exainples of Titience , under
long continued /suffering, ..,the writer-has ever,.
known.- Often. would' he exclaim "my ,
kind heavenly Father , knows what is best
for me," and charge his parents not,to 112111:.,
mur.
One only was left , to cheer the hearts of
her parents; and most levingly did she en
deavor. to do, so
'
By God's he lpi she , was enabled 10 . edm..
herown spirit, and bear, with • .fortitude,the:
loss of her only sister: and brother,. that she
might, as far. as pos sible , fill the void made
in the,lrearts.of heribeleved p arents .. That
mother was heard to exclaim, in the midst.of,
her sokrows—q Well, I trust -1 am thankful,-
that I have such a kind, devoted daughter,
left:"
A few weeks , since, this, dear daughter left
her home, And accompanied her-husband to
Philadelphia; soon came a letter, informing
her parents of her dangerous illnessr4hen-a
dispatch to hasten them to her bedside.
They arrived only te„see her die., She'de
parted this- fe,Jan. 13th: Her sufferings
were 'severe in the:: extreme,;;but when.
asked, in the agonies , of 'death, "Do .you
lost Jesus," her reply was, " 0, yes; I do;
I do."
Thus thi eehoes of the funeral toll for
their only son, had scarce' died on the ear,
ere they were called to part with their last
remaining child, They mourn in bitterness
of soul,. at= this:unexpected,stroke ; :but. not
as those who have no hope; they believe
that,their Joss is her endless gai'n ; and while'
many Christian parents mourn 'over waywarti
i
children, whom—unless God should- nter
fere to &epic them in' their: dovinward
course—they never expect to meet. •in
heaverp these rejoice , that all. their chit ,
dram are gathered home to . glory. . T4e
time •is short; they are not lost, only. gime
befOre. That delicate mother is , spared
to bury all her obildien. Some are called
to glorify. God by activity; others by suffer
ing his will.
The last, Mrs. L. , H leaves a
devoted husband, (and four. children ; too
young, tally to realize:theirirreperable loss.)
His eulogy of her,' speaks .volumes "'She
never neglected her duty." One remarked,
she was• to him so a guardian angel.. Many,
a'gathering: cloud , did.her.sunshine scatter.
•
He may well take up the lament and prayer,
" The .treasure of my soul,is gone,
The life, the light I lived upon,
My lovely one
Is bowed to earth, is withered- r —deud;
And I, alone, world now tread,
Whose charms have flown,

Many, many friends mourn for her as a
beloved sister. The 'church, of which she
was a member,* and other li - ranches of Zion,
feel that they have lost , a friend, and liberal
supporter. ; The poor, will ever-hold her in

Female Extravaganqa;
This' is, a hard subject for us, to* touch:
upon, especially :with words Azof., fault-finding.,
A .Aroman does look so prettily when well'
dressedrthatt until some startling develop
manta have rendered' it imperative, we halm
refrahMd *Om saying a word against the ex
travagant outlays that are.now made for fe..
male .dress. We. think= that we do not
"stretch the truth," in'saying that the dress
of women costs two dollars now, where it
did one, ten years ago. It is now silk every
where, or an expensive fabric of wool; and ; _
cotton is universally at a discount. The.
shop-girl stands in silk , behindthe •counter;
and as the shop-girl wears the dress that the
fashionable woman did ten years ago, the.
latteels obliged , adopt a fabric of amore
costly character so, hat, where the dollar.
silk was , once good enough; the heavy three
dollar rewire antique will alone suffice. - Ten
to twenty dollars is now paid for a - hat,
where five and Mt dollars were onee,cersid
ered extravagant. It is thus in .every de
f partment of the female• dress. This ten
dency♦ to over-dress • was..once considered an
Amerman vulgarity; •but there is no lacket
extravagance abroad now; and societies
have already been formed in European con.-,
tinentel cities for.its suppression.
The singular fact has been pretty widely
published, that in Boston,-
. during the past
year, the number', of marriages has been re
duced twenty per cent. from the pieyieus
year. New, we have not the slightest doubt
that, this fact grows ant of the conscious in
ability of young men,. starting - in life and
business, to support *nee in a manner eon-.
mount with the preept,requic4i4op* of social
life. Girls must keep house, and keep it in
style; or they must board in a costly board.
ing house, and dress in a manner correspond
ing to that. entertained by the daughters of
the, millionaire. There is no more of the
occupation of the . humble room at first; ao
more of the' self denial by which the wife
becomes the sharer of the young husband's
poverty 'and struggles;..no more of that
adaptation of life to circumstances, by which
the wife grows up with the husband into for
tune '
but marriage , must : now bring at once
all the ;advantages, 'and all the show of for
tune, or it may not be indulged in. Ins .
other words, marriage has become a costly
and rare luxury, to be had only, for money;
and not.. that.:natural and unrestricted con
nexion of accordant loves and lives, which
is necessary to the happiness of both man
and'womao,, and essential to the purity and
piogress of society.
This , puts a serious, face, upon the matter
very .serious face..,: In .the , history of
every nation,..that :which .bas-opersited as a
bar:to =the marriage of the-sexes, has_ been,
the nurse , of vice. A man .who has really
made up, his mind that he cannot afford to
be 'marned, and that he must lay aside,all
hope of,it,for yeirs, at least,
,is in a danger. ?

' is a good one,
are still at a loss to account for the results
produced:.: , Bothof these .claaaes may learn
something from a consideration of the method
in Which PloPto gr9w.
•
If we take, a hox of earth containing, say,
500, pourids, rind weigh it carefully, and , then ,
sow an ounce of clover seed i i
n t, we can
continue to remove successive crops t until
We have taken off more weight of clover' titan
the entire weight of ,thirth in the hox at first •;;
and thia,toop without. adding anything hut
the ,purestiVrater. , After we have removed
this crop, we shall, find-the box of 'earth to
weigk'mort; than 500 pounds, (its original
weight,) ,Pearly, as much more ai
the weight of the roots remaining in the
contained , soil.' The clover grown, haabeen
withfram the >air ; and such is 'the case
with all , plants. Their principid, good
ionies from the atmosphere, from which it
hart ,been extracted by , the surface of:: the:
leaveru.
i But exp4ienee teaches that the growth'
of anyl/lolot is accelerated, especially,in its
early stages, by supplying the , soil, with, a
small, per pilotage , of :organic , mantirel,.. that
is, animal , or vegetable matter.- , A single
handful of animal excrements or decaying
istrai, `Mingled with squire foot,of,ground,
will' a
often insure its fertility, and cause it to
ilrodupa a large hill of corn, for example,
W hen, without this addition, not half of the
yield would have been obtained.
1 An application of these 'facts, explains the
benefit of 'plowing under clover. A soil may .
be '
. so Par -th4 , clover itself will not grow.
When, Ads is the case, a small:smount of
manure -from the yard, or a few lundred
pounds per acre of gypsum (plaster of Paris)
will gpnerally furnish the needed food, or
stimulus. When we can get the clover to
&awl its 'groat, amount of leaf surface will
CaPidlY abstract the invisible elements float
ar in, or combined with the air, and store
hem 'in the fitan% leaves and mate. When
these are Plowed, under, and Mingled• with
f. he omth,it is di
f rectlyequivalentto bringing
•
ronvalforewn source, an amountof manure
equal to the clover crop itself. We repeat,
the clover crop does not "come from the
soil," but is derived from a foreign source,
and is so much added to the needed organic
material required to produce wheat, rye, or
other crops more difficult to be grown -than
clover. We have. brought a number of com
paratively barren fields •to a high state of
fertility, with no other application, than a
little plaster at first, and turning under a few
successive,crops of clover when in their full
est growth-r—at the time, of flowering.
We have in a few instances been obliged
to use yardwianures, and, in the absence of
these, an , application of guano, or finely
ground unburned bones, before we could
get clover to grow well; but when the
clover would grow, we have found no di&
cult)? in bringing a field to a high degree of
fertility, if it was 'not so sandy and so devOid
of fine material as to furnish no suitable me
dium for the growth of thelimall rootlets of
plants.
The large amount of nitrogenous elements
in clover, as well as the large leaf surface,
tender this one of the best manuring
plants; • and, with the: growing scarcity.: of
good manures, and , the continued. advance
in the price of Pertiviaruguano--already
prbitant r —farmers should turn their attention
more to this.subject.. • , •
WHEN AND HOW TO 'SOW CLOVER.
Much diversity. .of :practice pevails..
Judginermir.our own experience,. as ,well
eas observation, we ,think decidedly the , . best
Bea:BOW is. diving the mouths,:of March- or•
April, according to the.. latitude.,
Some sow upon theosnow 7 --and this ,is not
a bad plan, as it, Is easyrto, see, whether, the.
seed:falls 'evenly,:and.when the snow melts ;
away, it , in part washes the earth upon the
seed. But,,even, this, is objectionable, Since.,
some of the, seeds will , rerniin ,uncovered
and, in the eventof,a.su4den thaw ,or
eurrents,of water will ,be produced, which,
will wash the: seed into furrows or,low spots.
Our most successful practice has been to,
wait until the snow has departed, and choose
a morning, or morningl, when`*ground is
frozen an, inch .or so in • depth, and when
there is little air stirring, att,then carefully
BOW the seed as evenly as imssible. At ois
time the surface of the' earth is filled with
little crevices formed' bythe frost': Into
these the seeds fall, and *then the " ground
thawi . again, most of them are as throughly
covered as if planted by hand.
Spare, he Birds:
Boys, let the birds alone'l Watch them,
study thorn y love them, and protect , them,.
but•do not seek amusement in slaughtering.
these beautiful: enants of the. groyes. Do
you ask why ? Because—
-3.: They have a right : . ;to ,live.
created-these joyous birds, and without, hose,
notice. a sparrow falls not to, the .ground,
doubtless; made; them to live,and to enjoy life
—not to be ruthlessly torn to , pieces by
powder and shot, for, the amusement of idle
boys.. ,
2. Alive,.they contribute largely to the
general stock of happiness; but dead, they
are of no use, to anybody. By their gay
plumage, their elegant forms, their greefitl
fligias;t4eir sociable chirpings, and their
sweet songs, they fill the wood's and' fields
with 'gladness and make the solitary pia=
ces rejoice. `gladness,
would Summer be, were'
there no birds? '
3. They are entitled.toirotection, on the
ewe of their .usefulness. The occasional
depredations they make upon the farmeeS
fields and trees,
are the merest peccadillos,
comp . ared with ,the, untiring service, they ren
der, in the destruction of noxious insects.
i
It s estimated that one swallow Will des
troy nine, hundred insects in one day. The
alarming increase of the insect' plagues, of
late years, calls loudly for the protection of
the birds.
4. The shooting of harmless little birds
is a cruel,' hardening and despicable amuse
ment. It-is doubly mean'.when' followed,
early in the Summer; before, or during the
breeding .season.
5. It is a dangerous amusement. It has
been said, by one , wholes paid.much :Men=
tion to .the subject, that " more , persons fall,
by their own band, andby the hands of their
sporting companions, while engaged in this
Wicked and cruel, sport, than are executed
for niurder or than fell beneath the bolts of
the lightning of the thunder."
• •
6. It is unlawful to 'shoot birds at this sea
son of the year:',The' following statute is
now in force in assaohnsetts :
"lfanyperson Shill, between the first day

grow hard by living for... themselves, alone.
With little, or, ,nothing,exterier, to disturb

arise, do him no harm, but, on the contrary,
his character is matured while, he is laboring

He who does not suffer, cannot know more

Not only is the heart of man made better
by assuming the obligations of a husband

Before, he was traveling through the world

and for the first time sees mankind as they
are, and begins to comprehend society, its
origin, its work,,and.destinp, He now awa

pleasure, to which he only 'listened before.
Not that pleasure is denied to him now, but,
,it comes, of itself; in .the train of duty dis
charged, instead of being always: solioite4 ,
as formerly, forits own sake. This revola-•
tion, produced.by his change of position, is
marked upon his countenance, where it is no
less visible than, in his changed conduct.
The man is stamped upon it in. every, serious,

'sedateness have taken the place ofmeaningless
gaiety, frivolity, and want of sober aim. If any
one says he is acquainted with every many

is granted. Place that man, soadndraly en

What Are We Coming To 1
The San Francisco Pacific says.:
There is, perhaps, serious cause of alarm
forihia city. We - learn that one of 'the
,Captains of.Xelice, Police,; .obliged 'to be on'
duty:last Sabbath,put , few, tracts, : n his.
pocket, and ;handed.' then to persons who
Would' be glad to receive them. This is
Working with a two edged sword—the pow
er of, the "star," and, the softer light of an
admonitory page--r-perhaps, on temperance,
or inciting , to religious. thoughtfulness..
What does *mean ? , It was, formerly, said:
that policemen were frequenters of rum
holes, andother vicious places, not even ex
cepting the gambling hell". Really, the city
is getting to be more than moral The very
Police Judge is President of the City Tract
Society, and ,an elder a .Preabyterian
Church; and we know of atleast .three po
licemen • who are active: church-members.
Instead' of patronizing the drinking places,
they count them up—one man finds over fifty
on his heat—and contrive how theymay
sen dram-drinking. Very unsafe men, these
police , officers I They are:men of principle,
and men of firmness. There are some who
would prove rather tough customers, should .
rogues attempt to grapple with Ahem., But,
may they. have no occasion. We hope that,
what with the Police Court; through the
week, putting cbairis on'the-More,ingi
ble, and , the good.infinence and,example , vf
the officers in their wards, they rmay all go:
to church together, b,y, and by,, leaving% the.
city, like a quiet village, to take care of. itaelf,
Sweden.
The liberty of, the press has just achieved
a triumph in,S.weden. The four, chambers,
of the Diet have ; unanimously. rejected . s hill
of last session, which erases from the, Con
stitution, and places in the, rank of ordinary.
that which guarantees , the Liberty of
the Press.. ln the Chamber of Nobles, one
of the.ministers, M. de, Grippenstadt,.made
a sort of apology for presenting : the bill,
saying, "
.Ministers are mess, and as such are
liable to commit'errors." ,The rejection.took
place, almost 'without discussion, in the
Chamber of the Clergy and of the Bourgeoisie.
In'the Chamber of Peasants, fifty members
spoke against the measure. The last speak
er; in concluding, said : "The Liberty of
the Presi is the tongue of the nation, and
the now,' s to cut it. out..' Will you'
allow that'to be done ?" No !no ! a thou
sand times no ! God preserve us from it !"
was•the cry of all the others. The Presi-,
dent-then declared the , discussion to be
closed, and at,once proclaimed , the rejection,
of., the bill.
THE Puritan Recorder Fauns np the
statistics of evangelical religion in our coun
