PROSPECTUS OF THE
YPSILAN7T SENTINEL.
VOLUME -FOUR.

In coming before the public with the fourth Vol.
of the 'SentineP find favorable opportunity of
sketching slight programme of our intentions.
which we shall endeavor to fill during the year. We
have been hattered more during the year Just past
with the satisfaction expressed by our patrons than
by any considerable increase ofour subscription list
So great the obstacles which country press has
to contend with that it must necessarily win its way
slowly into public favor. In this respect we trust
we have made some advance. With the greater
experience have of the peculiar tastes of our
reading community, hope to advance still farther
The 'Sentinel'' will continue to advocate the
measures of the Wing party far as those meas
ures are now developed; nor do we appreheud the
adoption of any doctrine by that party which our
private Judgment shall force us to oppose;-yet in
the events of the future hold sacred the rights of
private opinions. Its political features SHALL howev-
er be kept at all times, free from personality and
unfair argument.
Should our patronage soon warrant it we shall
make considerable addition TO the amount of our
political reading, but we cannot promise this except
on the condition of largely increased subscription.
Is MISCELLANEOUS READING we trust we shall be
able to please the young. the middle aged, and the
old. For this purpose increasing the amount and
selecting it for wider range of the current litera
ture of the day than heretofore.
We shall be constantly on the look out for the
richest jokes Of Punch, Judy, Yankee Doodle, and
kindred humorists, while the whole troop of "Litei
rary periodicals will be made to yield their choicest
gems We should be glad if we able to prom
Use something original in this line, and trust that
we may be able to find in the course of the year,
If it will not be held back because we are not OBJ
lgated by promise to produce it,
Our GENERAL INTELLIGENCE will be copious, cor
rect, and early. The various and mutifarious de-
signs of weekly journal we shall endeavof in short
to fulfill 70 the best of our ability: of which the pub
lie have now had some two years experience.
We trust that we shall now sec an increased in
terest taken in the Sentinel by those whose inter-
ests are advanced. and the Importance of whose
place of residence is enhanced by its continuance.
With the expiring hero say, if we have done
well, "Give us your applause"

CRANBERRIEs.-We are not aware Of q
single instance of success in the cultivation
of the cranberry without thick coating Of
sand mot mixture Of sand aud loam) was
first spread over the surface. Six inches is
the depth that has been recommended in
this paper, and we are entirely satisfied that
it is more frequently too little than too
much. II the bottom be deep mud, with
only six inches of sand on the surface, the
bog at the end of year will be in better
condition TO cultivate grass than cranberries
The sand will sink into the mud and become
TO some extent mixed with it. The surface
will be condensed and warmed by the ope.
ration, and the grasses cannot be kept out
without injuring or destroying the cranber-
ry vines.
The art Of raising the cranberry consists
in selecting a soil that is always damp, and
if flowed with water in the winter and
spring, it is the better. The soil must be
loose and barren, so that the cranberry vines
will without any cultivation overcome and
root out the few weeds and grasses that may
spring up If the soil is fertile, grass and
weeds will obtain possession of the soil, and
they can be kept out only by mourning an
expense which the crop will never repay.
We have seen accounts in the newspapers
of the cranberry being cultivated success
fully on uplands, but we do not believe much
OF the stories that are told. On damp bar
rem sands the cranberry in this country is as
certain as any cultivated crop; but on 9TH
er soils It is precarious and uncertain, and
will not repay the labor in cultivation

A Mother Praying a Son Home.

What thoughts crowd around the heart Of
the mention of these words Years may
pass away; mountains, rivers, and oceans
may intervene between us and the spot
where first we heard mothers prayers, yet
they cannot be lost to memory. Sickness,
sorrow and neglect may be suffered, and
even the heart may seemingly become cal

Of a mother's-a praying molher's-name,
a chord is touched which thrills through the
soul and rarely fails TO awaken better feel.

and perhaps iondly anticipate, that moth.

behalf, may be answered.
Never did see this more forcibly illus

sailor, who resided in one OF our coast
towns. had the narrative from the lips
of the mother In making his homeward
passage, as he doubled the stormy Cape"
a dreadful storm arose The mother had
heard Of his arrival "outside the Cape" and
was awaiting with the anxiety mother
alone can know, TO see her son. But now
the storm had arisen, and, as she expected
when the ship was in the most dangerous
place. Fearing that each blast, as il swept
the raging deep, might howl the requiem Of
her son, with faith strong in God, she com.
menced praying for his safety. At this mo-
ment news came that the vessel was lost |
The father, an unconverted man, had till
this time preserved a sulen silence, but
now he wept aloud. The mother observed,
at is in the hands Of Him that does all
things well !" aud again, in a subdued and
soltened spirit, bowed and commended her
son and her partner, in an audible voice,
broken only by the burstings Of full heart,
TO God
Darkness had now spread her mantle
abroad, and they retired, but not TO rest,
and anxiously awaited for the morning, hop.
ing, at least, that some relic Of their lost one
might be found.
The morning came. The winds we're
hushed, and the ocean lay comparatively
calm, as though its fury had subsidized since
its victim was no more. AT this moment,
the little gate in front Of their dwelling
turned on its hinges. The door opened,
and their son, their lost, their loved son,
stood before them! The vessel had been
driven into one Of the many harbors on the
coast, and he was safe. The father rushed
to meet him. His mother, already hanging
on his neck, earnestly exclaimed, "My child,
how came you here 7"
"Molher," said he, while the tears cours
ed down his sun.b burnt face, IL knew you'd
pray me home r.
What spectacle avid, reckless youth
acknowledging the efficacy Of prayer. 1t
seems that he was aware of his perilous sill.
uaiion, and that he labored with this
thought "My mother prays; Christians
prayers are answered, and may be saved"
This reflection, when almost exhausted with
fatigue, and ready to give up in despair,
gave him fresh courage, and with renewed
effort he lObored, ill the harbor was gain.
