what you have manifestIy said, as in the
close of your third paragraph you say,
now II will be seen that / said nothing
about restoring the captivity but the Tenn
pie or jerusalem" Let us have what
you did say. In your letter published
Dec. 20, 1887, second column, beginning
OF the second paragraph. you say, There
were a number. of, DEGREES concerning
the restoration of the Jeps, and rebuilding
OF Jerusalem" | did not pretend to quote
your words. Yet the words are the
same sense; for all must acknowledge
" the restoration Of the Jeos," at that
time, was restoring the captiUity."-
So understood You, at the time, and so
l understand that sentence to mean yet.
This then must close my remarks to
you. For l am fully convinced, no good
can come of an alteration of this kind.
God will take care Of his own cause, and
of me. A few days will disclose the
truth. Iremain. dear brother, yours, &C.,

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
PROSPERITY DANGEROUS.

That to the depraved heart of man it
has ever been peculiarly difficult to en-
dure the temptations incident to uncom-
mon prosperity, no rejecting person will
deny; and so long as state of mind
continues to exist in the church by which
these temptations are invested with pow
er, so long will it be true that she cannot
endure prosperity, and yet remain incor-
rupt. Nor is this true alone Of the hurch
taken as body. 1t is true of individuals
in all stations, from the highest to the
lowest. But on those who are called, in
the providence Of God, TO occupy lmpor-
tant stations in the church, these tempta-
tons operate with peculiar power. 1t
was so even with Paul, and to prevent
his fall and ruin, his heavenly Father
deemed it indispensably necessary to send
and to continue thorn in the flesh, even
after entreated by earnest and repeated
prayer that it mi ght he removed. And ii
such things were true even of the ':hlei
of the apostles, what shall be said OF us,
and of other men? Who will be conf
dent that he can stand when even an
apostle was in such danger of falling
And that the danger is real and great
any mans experience, who knows any
thing of his heart, must have taught him
How often has 1t been necessary for GOO
to chastise him. and to bring him low te
save him from ruin. And now, after al
that God has done, and sill continues te
do, how few are found who can endure
prosperity unhurt. How dangerous L

measures of success. Indeed. liability

PEACE. NO.-.XVIII.
WAR AND MISSIONS.

Few are fully aware how important is
the prevalence of peace to the spread of
Christianity. God in his infinite wisdom
selected time of profound peace through
the Roman Empire for the advent of our
Savior; and the history Of his church
would show. that war has in every age
neutralized the efficiency of the gospel in
Christian lands, and greatly retarded its
progress through the world.
Burmah would furnish strong testimo-
ny to the latter part o. this assertion. Most
of our religious papers copying from the
"Maulmein Chronicle" published at Maui
mein in Burmah, have informed their
readers Of the civil war recently, if no:
still raging there, and Of its balefuI influ-
ence on missionary efforts in that empire.
Prince Surrawa, brother to the King,
raised the standard of revolt, and entrench-
ed himself so strongly in a town about
forty miles north of Ava as to throw open
its gates. and challenge an attack from the
royal forces. Meanwhile the whole
country appears to be in a state of disor.
der and commotion. Men are said to be
marching from all quarters to JOIN one OF

MELoNs-Thc countries in tho world most
celebrated for melons, are plains OF Bokkara,
composed principally of sand; the Island OF W
prus, similarly constituted; and the Delta OF f.
cypt, composed Of the fine sands and sediment
brought down and deposited in coIrse CT ceatu-
ries by the river Nile. DIR. +. ID. Clark, in his
travels in Egypt and Syria, gives an interesting
account Of the melon cultivation on the Nile
The bed Of this long river contains abundance Of
sand-banks, subject TO changes and shifting, from
the annual floods by which siey formed.--
As the water recedes after the floods, these
banks are gradually left cry: and are immediate
Iy occupied by tho Fe!IaIis, melon beds. Pig
cons or doves manure, which birds abounds in
Egypt, is mixed in proper quantities with the
sand, the products are astonishing. DIR. Clark
alIirms that when ripe, extensive bed OF
lance; and MS the vessel in which he sailed from
Rosetta to Acre, was raghted with this fruit, the
fragrance was c..,,nost overpowcrng.
A rc.",ieman, few days since, assured us
t,at the finest melons he ever raised or tasted,
were grown on a bank Of pure sand thrown from
. well at the depth Of about twenty feet. Ma
nure was mixed with the sand, and the seeds then
planted Three Of the melons weighed above
GO lbs, or more than 20 lbs. each There is no
plant that seems more 10 delight in a sandy soil
than the melon. To arrive at perfection It re-
quircs gre,t heat, a sandy soil give to this a
greater degree than any other. Few good mel
ons arc raised in the western part Of this state;
might not the quantity be increased by planting
in manfred sand, as in the above described in
stance? We think il well worth trial.-Gen-
