A GoD-A MoMENT-AN ETERN1ry.-How
sad it is that an eternity so solemn and so neal
us should impress us SO slightly and should be SC
much forgotten! A christian traveller tells us
that he saw the following religious admoniton
on the subject ofeternity printed on folio sheet
and hanging in public room of an inn in Savoy;
and it was placed, he understood, in every house
in the parish: understand well the force OF
the words-a God, moment, an eternity. A
God who sees thee, moment which flies from
thee, an eternity which awaits thee. God
whom you serve SO i'll, moment Of which you
SO little profit, an eternity which you hazard SC
rashly'

In recommending connection Of arabic with
pasture farm, my object is simply to secure an
abundant supply Of food for sheep in Winter
Were our Winters as mild as to allow the sheep
TO range over the hills in plenty and safety, there
would be little use for arabic land, for the pro-
visions of inhabitants could easily be obtained
from market. But when storms at times almost
over'Yhelm whole flock, and protracted snow
and frost debar the use of the ground for weeks
together, il is absolutely necessary to provide
food for stock upon the farm. / am aware ofthe
folly Of trusting to corn in high district to pay
rent with,--the stock must provide for that; but,
nevertheless, the more food and shelter are pro-
rided in the Winter for stock, the less loss will
be incurred during the most Indictment season.
Let one instance, out Of many, suffice to show
the comparative immunity from loss in providing
food and shelter for sheep in Winter In the
wet and cold Winters of 1876 and 1918, the
more than usual loss of sheep and lambs on the
farm Of Crosscleuch, Selkirkshire, was as fol-
