BY A BROTHER.

Every thing most sweet and high, and holy,
clusters with loving tenderness around this hcav-
emily word. All things most dear to the heart
are associated with this blessed place. A man
may be called to sit on the right hand of kings,
or be the bosom friend Of royal greatness, but
when the excitement of the first hours pride has
ceased, how yearningy will he turn in magma
ton towards that beloved cottage where his heart
will always live. lie may climb the giddy heights
of fame, till towering high he looks far down the
craggy mount before another mortal meets his
eye, yet he would fain leave the alpine pinnacle,
and decend into that lovely little valley, where
stands the palace of his heart. Humanity may
inhabit thousand places with its body, but its
heart will ever be at home
When tossed and driven on lifc's stormy sea,
by unknd winds and waves, how surely will the
magnet of our soul direct US to that little hcav-
emily heaven.
" Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
BE it ever so homcy, there's no place like home
What an overlooking fitness Of satisfaction
christianity proflers to this ever-longing desire.
1t reveals an eternal home for poor mortality al-
ter it shall be wearicd out with this life, in the
blissful regions Of heavenly paradise
Fellow traveller, would you go 10 this most
happy, glorious home? You can The Lord
has said you may And that you may be intro
duced to the good Father in that home without
embarrassment, he has sent his Son into this
world to form an acquaintance with YOU o

Jesus, the Son Of God? God grant you may

The two Brothers.,

The following beautiful Arabian legend we
copy from the "Voicc of Jacob"
The site occupied by the temple of Solomon
was formerly cultivated field, possessed in
common by two brothers. One Of thcm was
married and had several children; the other was
unmarried. They lived together, however, cult
waiting, in the greatest harmony possible, the
property they had inherited from their father
The harvest season had arrived, The two
brothers bound up their sheaves, made two c.
quail stacks ofthem, and left them on the field
During the night the unmarried brother was
struck with an excellent thought. My brother,
said he to himself, has wife and children to
support it is not just that my share ofthc harvest
should be as large as his. Upon this he arose,
and took from his stack several sheaves, which
he added to those of his brother; and this he
did with as much secrecy as if he had been COM
mitng all evil action, in order that his brother
ly offering might not be refused. On the same
night the other brother awoke and said to his wife,
"My brother lives alone, without companion
he has no one to assist him in his labor, nor to
reward him for his toils-while God has be-
slowed on me a wife and children; it is not
right that we should take from our common
field as many sheaves as he, since we have area-
dy more than he has-domestic happiness. II
you consent, we shall, by adding secretly GER
tain number of our sheaves to his stack, by way
of compensation, and without his knowledge sec
his portion of the harvest increased" Thi;
project was approved and Immediately put into
execution.
In the morning, each of the brothers went tC
ahe field, and was much surprised at seeing the
stacks still equal. During several successive
nights the same continuance was repeated on eacl
side for as each kept adding to his brother
store, the stacks always remained the same
But one night, both having stood sentinel tC
divine the cause of this miracle, they met
each bearing the sheaves mutually destined 70
the other 1t was thus all elucidated, and the
rushed into each others arms, each greatfuE t.
heaven for having SO good brother.
Now, says the legend, the place where
good an idea had simultaneously occurred t
lhe two brothers, and with so much pertlnacitl
must have been acceptable to God Men ble'

When Abraham sat in his tent door, accord
ing to his custom, waiting to entertain strangers,
he espied an old man STOPPING and leaning on
his staff, weary with age and travel, coming to-
wards him who was an hundred years of age he
received him kindly, washed his feet, provided
supper, and caused him to set down but observ-
ing that the old man eat and prayed not, nor
begged for blessing on his meat, asked him
why he did not worship the God of heaven i
The old man told him that he worshiped the
fire only at which answer Abraham grew so
jealous that he thrust the old man out of his
tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the
night and an unguarded condition. When the
old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and
asked him where the stranger was He replied,
thrust him away because he did not worship
thee. God answered him, have suffered him
these hundred years, although he dishonored me,
and couldst thou not have endured him one
night, when he gave thee no trouble? Upon
this, saith the story, Abraham fetched him back
again, and gave him hospitabIe entertainment
and wise instruction eco and do likewise, 4"
and thy charity will be rewarded by the God of
Abraham.

Potato Rot.

II. S. Sheldon, Middlebury, Vt, is inclined to
attribute the disease to atmospheric influence
He states that the only case of entire exemption
within his knowledge, is where the potatoes were
grown on an elevation, about mile in length
and $50 feet high, of sandy soil, with a south
western aspect. The soil is said never to have
been MANFRED, but its fertility is kept up and
rather improved by the application of plaster
1t is sown in the spring, and heavy growth of
clover is produced, which, being turned under,
furnishes nutriment for the succeeding crop
He says potatoes gown on this soil are I'M
usually dry and mealy, and keep perfectly sound
through the winter. We have raised the pink
eyes for the last ten years, and those whom we
furnish pronounce them superior to any in mar
ket.'
Jonathan Storrs, Mass, thinks the cause OF
the disease is owing to the unusual prevalence
of cold weather for the two last seasons, after
the potatoes were planted, which by chilling the
seed, caused the produce to be defective. He
advised to defer planting ill after the middle OF
goth of May, Last year he says he planted from
the goth to the Gath of May, and the crop was
sound He advises, also, that the ground be
plowed few days before planting to let the sun
and air warm the SOIL that the potatoes may veg
etate the sooner.
[NoTE.-Nearly all the accounts VIC receive
are in favor of early planting.
PorAro DIsEAsE.-The idea is entertained I,
some extent, that the potato disease is caused b,
deficiency of alkales in the soil and that thu
application of these would be preventive. B
F. Wilbur, in the Massachusetts, Ptowmdn, state
that he planted last year. piece of newly clear
ed ground with potatoes Piles of logs had bee
burned off leaving much ashes in the places c
them, lie says Wherever these piles wer
burned off, the potatoes rotted most

"Thc pure in Heart"

Christianity is admired, when rightly under
stood, for IFS simplicity. And its precepts will
be obcyed, on the account of their reasonable
ness. The simple and consistent expression,
" Blessed arc the pure in heart" is (raught with
consolation and comfort When we learn that
our heavenly Father requires us to make no
burning sacrifice no smoke to rise from an
altar; and no incense TO stream from the "gold-
cn censor" no weary and exhausted pilgrims
arc called upon to pay at stated intervals, to the
shrine Of a prophet our bodies arc not to be
tortured, and undergo ,he suffering of pcnanccs;
our petitions TO the bountilul Benefactor of our
lives, requires of us no long pray ers no tenth
part to support heoress priesthood The
vain and outward oblations of the earth have
ceased and passed away-and now my son
give me thine heart" is the simple and reasona-
bic requirement.
A single tear Of repentance for sin, is all that
is wanted. One heartfelt sigh for the desolatng
strides Of sin, and the downlaen of humanity
one single breathing for divine holiness, all
the offerings and sacrifices that our beloved
Master requires us to make and he will bear it
TO our heavenly Father as the offering of the
pure in heart

see by the Vermont Chronicle, that the Congrcga-
tional church in Middlebury, have unanimously adopt
cd resolutions conforming dancing parties and card
playing, as offences deserving the ccnsuro of the
church. And presume they would be sustained by
sister churches in so doing. Yet, | apprehend these

save-hoding, with all its abominations sin less Of
fensve to God, or injurious to men, than dancing par
ties, and card playing? These are bad enough and
fully agree, that those who practice them should feel
the censures of every christian church. But then,
why should churches strain at gnats and swallow cam
els? No man can believe that it is worse to attend
dancing party, than to rob man Of himself, and hold
him as a slave. And when church condemn the less

apt to say they guilty of great Partially, and may
think that little sins more offensive to churches,

Cutting Grain,

There are several advantages in favor of cut
ting grain before it becomes dead ripe. |. 1t
has been ascertaned that wheat cut while it is
so soft that it may be mashed between the fin
gers, will make flour containing more gluten,
will absorb more water in kneading, and make
more and better bread than the same quantity Of
grain perfectly ripencd while standing. 2 The
straw of all grain is much better if Cut while it
is little green, and this on many farms is an
item of no small importance, as it constitutes a
large proportion of the winter food of stock
3. Cutting early is often the means of saving a
crop from rust. At all events, it has been we'll
proved that whenever grain is struck by rust, it
is best to cut it. If it stands it does not i'm
prove after the rust comes on, but oGener grows
worse rapidly. If it is cut and well cured in
shock, it sometimes makes very fair kernel.
Farmers are too often careless about the manner
in which their grain is shocked or stocked 1t
should be bound in small bundles, and the shocks
carefully put up so that they will stand the wealth
or. Wet spoils both the grain and straw. Good,
bright, eary-cut straw, especially that Of barley
and oats, is better than hay made according TO
the practice Of some farmers.

AN OLD MAN.

In the late Congregational Convention at Middle
bury, the Rev. r. s. Finley of St. Louis delcpatc
from the Old School General Assembly, who is, at
home, an agent for the Colonization Society, stated
publicly, in answer to questions proposed co him, that
the condition Of the slave population of our country
has in his opinion become essentially Moderated with
in some fifteen or twenty yearS-that many masters,
(among them ono Of the greatest shareholders in Louis
lana) arc contrary to law, teaching their slaves to
readthc holy scriptures that far moro is done for their
religious instruction than formcrly-and that any act of
special cruelty by church member towards his slaves
such as unnecessarily selling the wife from her hus-
band or the husband from the wife, would be consid-
cred and treated as a dsciplinable offence The i'm
prcssion he sad is gaining ground, that slavery must,
at no very remote period, come to an end. Some
merely worldly mon, he stated in view of the present
low price of cotton, and comparatively high price Of
articles of living, arc of the opinion that savchodng
will before long, be proved altogether unproGtabcand
that it must, in the course of twenty-five years. be
abandoned for some better system; and that timely
preparation should be made for the coming event. -
This testimony from one who has had ample opportu-
nifty to see, and hear, and know, may contribute to
ay the fears Of those at the north who have suffered
so much through apprehension that all which is said
and done here against slavery will only cxaspcratc the
masters, and render the condition of the ensavcd
more and more intolcrabc and hopeless Such, it
scems has not yet been the result A. PASTOR
