OBEDIENCE THE GREAT Test OF PlErY.

OBEDIENCE THE GREAT TEST OF PIETY.
The Bible ass igns particular importance to
the tes, Of religious character which Is fur
ness Of the human heart, and the strong ex-
posure Of men to selc-deception. He has
therefore provided ,ha. the reality of those
dispositions we profess to cherish towards
him, shall be evinced by corresponding con-
duct. Do you inquire, who are the friends
of Christ? He himself replies, ,''Ye are my
friends if ye do whatsoever | command you
Do you ask, Who are those that love the
Redeemer His answer is, "He that loveth
me, keepelh my commandments" Do you
ask, How shall we know that we possess a
saving knowledge of him Hereby do we
know that we love him, if we keep his COM
mandments.' Would we know the evil
dence Of hostility to Christ? "He that low
eth me not, keepelh not my sayngs."-
Would you know who are they tha. are de-
ceived or deceivers? "He that saith that he
knowe,h him, and keepe,h not his COM
mandment, is liar, and The truth is not in
him." Would we trace out the line Of de-
marcation between saints and sinners? "ln
this the children of God are manifest, and
the children Of the devil-he that doeth no,
righteousness, is not Of God" Would we
know what will be the grand and universal
rule Of trial at The final day 4? "Withou, re-
spect of persons, the Father will judge every
man according to his works." From be-
ginning to end-from frs, TO last, the great
test of character is, "By their fruits shall ye
know them.-Ohio Observer.

corn small portion Of compos. formed Of
z parts ashes and l part plaster, taking care
to have it sprinkled on the corn hill around
the plants: In few days from this, we
put the cultivators into the corn field, max
ing them run as near as possible to the
plants. The plants themselves were work
ed by hoe and hand. These operations
were repeated as often as necessary through
out the season ; the frequency Of the work
ings being regulated by the condition of the
corn and the ground, our object being to
keep the one clear of weeds, and the other
open TO the influence of the weather. |,
will be seen, that we never used the plough
but once after the corn came up; and that,
con6ning ourself to the cul,iva,or, no hiIing
was attempted. We abstained from the use
of the plohgh for several reasons; among
the rest, because, we believed it to be iniu-
rlous TO cut and laccrate the lateral roots OF
the corn plants, as they were their chief
II not sole feeders !; because we thought i.
would tend to waste the ferilizing matters
"f the manure every time it was ploughed
up; and because we believed ,ha, the cult
va'o1 could keep the soil sufficiently open
'"' oil Heai'''ui purposes q! Vegetduou, anu
did not believe i. necessary to hill the corn
Our corn was, therefore, cultivated fiat
and none or very little waste of manure per-
mlt'ed 10 60 out but on the contrary hus-
banded for the nse of the plants. In times
Of drought we KEEP. the cul,ivators busy, be-
leving that an open surface was much bet
Ter adapted TO drink in the dews, and
condense the enriching gasses of the air
than would have been hard and unbroken
one.
In connection with this subject, we will
remark, that lime and nsarl can be very ad.
van'ageousIy applied at. the time Of harrow
ing the corn ground. There is probably
no better period for their use. As to the
quantities to be applied, that must depend
upon the character and condition Of the soil
and upon this point we refer our readers ia
our last months remarks. .
Corn, when planted upon grass-sward'
or clover-leys, is much infested with grut
and cut-worms; our remedy for that was
the sowing Of 9 bushels Of salt broadcast t.
the acre, so soon as the corn plants came up

PADDY's' Doors heard a good one
says the Newark "Mercury,"-of green
sprig from the Emerald Isle, who, the o,hej
day, entered boot store in this city, to
purchase himself pair "brogans." After
overhauling his stock in trade without be-
ing able to suit his customer, the shop-keeper
limited to him that he would make him a
pair to order.
''And what will yer ak to make good
pair iv them ?" asked Pat.
The price was named; Paddy demurred,
bu. after "baling down." the thing was a
trade. Paddy was about leaving, when the
other called him, asking
"What size shall make them, sir -
''Och - cried Pa, promptly, "niver mind
about the size at all-make them as large
as ye conveniently can for the money!"

on the banks of the Euphra,es, some in the

become the more venerable from its age,
and the more wonderful as its history and
results are examined and UNDERSTOOD

A TIRESOME GTEST.
=" He sits, and will forever sit"


There is belonging to the race of human
blpeds a sort of troublesome beings, who,
setting no value on their own time, care
very little how much they trespass upon
that of their more Industrious neighbors.
They are sort Of stay-foreyer persons,
who, having talked over the whole world
at one sitting, commence and talk it over
anew from beginning to end, before thew
are ready 10 take their leave in a word,
they sit, and sit, and sit, long enough TO
justify the motto we have just quoted. Be-
side their disposition to hang on, there is
generally about these persons a wonderful
habltude, siowness in taking hint, un-
paralleled with the rest of the human race.
10 give single instance of this sitting
propensity, we viii introduce the story Of
plain spoken old lady from the land of
steady habits.

your spirits as if you were not to wake till
the heavens be no more. And when you
awake in the morning, consider that new
day as your last, and live accordingly
Surely that night cometh, of which you
will never see the morning, or the morning
of which you will never see the night but
which of your mornings or nights will be

worldly enjoyments hang loose about you,

gagged from the world is heavenly enc,

And the evening is beautiful and the
heavens are full of stars, mirroring their
siirery faces in the snow; and the still
woods are ieweled with ice-diamonds and
waiting waveiess the rising moon. And
the Northern Lights like zephyrs zoned
with rainbows, are waltzing on the pearly
pavements of the polar sky. And the
mountains like waves Of a silver sea, rising
heavenward to greet the stars; and the sky
like sea Of molten sapphire, with It's
golden tresses dropping fondly on the brow
Of the mountains. 1t is beautiful /; too
beautiful TO shut out Of our sight. Let us
al 30 out doors and read few paragraphs
IN the album of the heavens. For this

gstcrcd his handiworks. And the first
man, on the first evening of this new crea-

tried to read the iIIumined manuscript OF
his Maker. And the generations before
he food gazed at these same stars and
men that saw the evenings OF nearly
thousand years on the earth, looked up at
ihese same golden eyes Of heaven, which
nov look down OH us; and they called

THE EiWYER's PATRON SAINT,

We give the following from Notes and
Queries, where it appears as extracted
from Cars Remarks of the Government
OF the several Parts of Germanie, Denmark.
&c. Amsterdam, 1858 : .. And now
give me leave TO tell you a story | met
with when lived in Rome. Going with
Romano TO see some antiquities, he
showed me chapel dedicated to one St.
Evona. lawyer of Brittainne, who he said
came to Rome 10 entreat the Pope to give
the lawyers of Britainne a patron: to
which the Pope replied that he knew of
no saint but what was disposed of to other
professions. At which Evona was very
sad, and earnestly begged of the Pope to
think of one for him. At last the Pope
proposed to Evona that he should 90 round
the church Of St. John de Latera blindfold,
and, after he had said SO many Ave Marias,
that the first saint he laid hold of should
be his patron, which the good lawyer will
lingly undertook d; and at the end of his
Ave Marye, he stOpt at ST. Michac's altar.
where he laid hold of the Dwell under St.
Mlchael's feet, and cried out, This is our
saint-let him be our patron SO. our
lawyer being unblindfolded and seeing what
patron he had chosen, he went TO his
lodgings so detected, that in few months
