WITNESS TO THE SAVIOUR.

The heavens gave witness. A new star
passed through the sky at his incarnation /;
and at his cruclfxion, for three hours the sun
was darkcned.
The winds and seas gave witness, when
at his word, tho tempest was hushed, and
rough pillows smoo,hed into a calm. Atthe
same word the inhal ,tants of tho waters
crowded around the ship, and filled the
net Of the astonished and worshirping dis
ciples.
The earth gave witness. At his dealt
and at his resurrection, it trcmblcd to its
centre.
Disease gave witness. Fcvers were re-
bukcd the blind saw their drliver.r; the
deaf heard his voice ; the dumb published
his glory; the sick Of the palsy were made
whole and the lepers were clcansed at hi.
bidding.
The Craze gave witness, when Lazaru,
came forth, and when many bodies of the
saints which slept arose.
The invisible worH gave witness. Devil
acknowledged his divinity, and fled from hi
presence. Angels minIsierod unto him il
the desert, the garden, and the tomb. 4
multitude sang an anthem in the air, IN tn,

have abundance of water, clean and pure,
for few animals will drink more frequently
or eagerly than hens, if water is within their
rcacl, and no one need expect healthy
fowls, or a plentiful supply of eggs, who does
not pay strict attention to their supply of
food. Indian corn, peas, buckwheat, oats or
barley, may be fed to fowls. Potatoes,
steamed or boiled, are excellent food for
them, but must be fed while warm, as fowls
will not eat cold potato, unless driven to it
by hunger. Fowls should have access to a
warm yard in the sunny days of winter, as
warmth is particularly invigorating to them.

ALWAYS HAPPY.

An Italian Bishop struggled through, great
difficulties without rcpining, and met much
opposition in his Episcopal functions without
bctraying the least impatiencc. Ore of his
intimate friends, who highly admired those

DOMESTIC FOWLS IN WINTER

Ono OF the greatest errors that prevails IN
the management Of the domestic fowl. and
one which must be destructive of all profit.
is the common practice of leaving them to
" shlrk for themselves" during tie winter
months. There is no animal on the farm
that better repays good keeping than the
hen, and with it, there is none that affords
so much profit on the capital employed.
The hen should have u close warm roos,.
for there are few creatures that suffer more
from the cold than fowls. They should have
a box of gravel. sand, ashes, &c. for them to
roll and dust themselves IN, to prevent the
attacks OF those insects to which fowls are
subject they should have access to pulycr-

RELIGION.

What is religion? Not that which, me-
tcor like, shines for a brief period and then
fades and disappears. No, who talks most,
prays longest, sigIs deepest, shouts loudest,
rcprovcs with the greatest severity. Not
that which can reject tie widows petition,
the orphans cry. Not that which dcceivcs
in bargain, deals closely witt, the poor, with

o%usics, alienates friends, cmbittcrs enemies,
beirays confidence, promotes sec,arian strife,
and renders evil for evil.
Pure religion and mndcfled before God
and the father, is this to visit the flllerless
and the widows IN their affection, and keen
ourselves always unspol,ed from the world.
Pure religion is vital principle-a fountain

and new modes Of action--givinp hiclle,

Pure religion teaches us to love our enemies

good for evil. 1t requires US TO act on prin.

GREAT YIELD OF CORN.

We find in the Union Aerlculturist, a
communication from Col. Joel Walker, of
Bclviderc, ILL.,, giving an account of corn
raised by him the past year. The kinds Sc
lcctcd for the experiment were the Chinese
Tree corn, II rowed; Yellow Dent, II
rowcd and New Jersey, 8 do.
"The ground was highly manurcd, at an
expense of So per acre, lightly plowcd and
otherwise prepared in the ordinary manner.
The seed was planted in hills four feet apart;
number Of kernels to the hill not remember
cd. The crop is harvested, and the result
is as follows:
Chinese Tree corn, 100! bush. shellcd, per acre.
Yellow Dent, 10
New Jersey, 50? "
To be sure there was no mistake, each
parcel was measured twice; and as the edi-
tor of the Agrlcultnrist has vouched for its
accuracy, it may be considered one of the
most enormous yields on record. Colone'

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S ADVICE TO
HIS son CHARLES.

81 canno too mucl, impress upon your
mind that tabor is the condition which God
has imposed upon us in every station of life.
There is nothing worth having, that can he
had without it, from the bread which the
peasant wins with the sweat of his brow, to
the sports by which the rich man must get
rid Of his cnnui. The ONLY difference be-
twiNt them is, that the poor nan labors to his
appeiitc--the rich man to get an appetite to
his dinner. AS for knowledge, it can no
more be planted in the human mind without
labor, than the field Of wheat can be pro-
duced without the previous use of the plough.
There is indeed, this difference, that chance
or circumstances may so cause it, that %anoil-
err shall reap what the farmer sows but no
man can be deprived, whether by accident
or misfortune, of the fruits Of his own studies;
and tie liberal and extended acquisitions OF
knowledge which lo makes, ali for his own
uSr.
Labor, my dear boy, therefore, and I'M
prove the time. In youth our steps are light,
and are d%nctiIe, and knowledge easily laid
up. But if we %ncglcc, our spring, our sum-
mer will be useless and contemplate, our
harvest will be chaiI, and the winter Of old
age unexpected and desolate."

He'd scratch poor China into rags
And bite the Einperor's nose,
Because It's Opium he Gislikes,
