Ministerial Tactics.

1t is well known shat when the late
Rev. Rowland Hill, of London, com nenced
his ministry, some eight years ago, there
was IN many parts of England settled
aversion to evangelical religion; SO that,
notwithstanding his position in life, and
his eminent talents, he was not unfre-
quently the object ofpersecution. On one
occasion while he was visiting his father
and family at Hawkstone Hall, he was
earnestly entreated to visit neig ghboring
town, where the small meeting house had
been closed by the hand of violence, and
whose inhabitants were entirely without
evangelical instruction. On his arrival,
the house was crowded, chiefly with ene-
mics to the gospel, and his friend entrea-
ted him not to preach, as among other
plans the opposing party had obtained the
presence of a most notorious prize fighter,
on purpose to annoy the preacher person
ally. But Rowland Hill was one of the
last men in the world to finch from an
encounter like this. He declared that he
would preach, even thong he. died in the
attempt; and having obtained an exact
description of the person and dress of the
prize fighter, he made his way, unguarded
and alone, to the pulpit Looking around
him from the pulpit, as henever failed to
do, his eye caught the pugilist, whom he
very respectfully beckoned to him. The
man apparently full of fury, assembled the
pulpit stairs, when he told him that his
name was Rowland Hill, that he was the
son of Sir Richard Hill, of Hawkstone
Park, and clergyman, that he was come
to the town to preach, and had been told
that some bad men intended to disturb
him; that he had full confidence in his
talents as prize fighter, and therefore
put himself nnder his protection asa gen.
tleman; that if any disturbance should
arise, he should rely upon him to quell it;
and at the close eff the service he should
be glad if he would accompany him in his
carriage to dine at Hawkstone. The fury
of the man was entirely subdued; he pro-
missed his best efforts to maintain quiet
ness, which he actually did secure, and
went away at the end of the service appa-
rently ashamed that he had interrupted so
complete a gentleman in his wishes to do
good Did not this conduct show that
Mr. Hill understood human nature?-

MEDICAL Use of Salt.

Being once on board steamboat on the
Delaware, on cold, unpleasantday, the pas
sengers were nearly all crowded into the
cabin. Suddenly one of them fell down in an
epileptic fit, attended with strong spasmodic
action of the muscles. A gentleman present
Immediately called to one of the servants to
bring him some salt, with which he crdmmed
the sufferers mouth until we feared he would
smother him. Almost instantly the muscular
action ceased, consciousness returned, and the
poor fellow manifested as much haste to get the
salt out of his mouth as the other did in get
ting it in. We thought the incident worth
remembering, apd it is now brought to mind
by paragraph which we find in the New
York Courier, on the medical use ofsalt, which
we know from experience to be true. That
paper says, /" In many cases of disordered
stomach, a teaspoonful of salt is certain cure.
In the violent pain termed collie, a teaspoon
ful of salt, dissolved in pint of cold water,
taken as soon as possible, with a short nap
Immediately after, is one of the most efectu-
al and speedy remedies known. The same
will relieve persen who may seem almost
dead from receiving heavy fall"

Land of Wonders.

The following paragraph is from the
report of Professor Forrest Shepherd
1t is interesting and doubtless true:
81 have now explored California for
nearly two years. I can truly say it is
land of wonders. There are flowers
every month in the year, and winter now
bears the bloom of spring. 1 have found
waterfalls three or four times as high as
Niagara, natural bridges of white marble
farsurpassingin in beauty that of fRockbridge
in Virginia, some thousand of gold bear
ing veins, inexaustible quantities of iron
and chrome ores, lead and quicksilver,
most beautiful proclaim clay, and, in
short, everything that can bless an indus
trious and enterprising people. In one
valley, found more than forty springs of
temperature over one hundred degrees
Fahrenheit. In another valley, sixteen
geysers, like the famous one in Iceland.
In this famous abode of Vulcan, the rocks
are so hot that you can stand upon them
but short time, even with thick boots
on. The silicious rocks are bleached to
a snowy whiteness, and breciated and
conglomerate rocks are actually forming.
The roar of the geysers may be heard at
times mile or more, and the moment is
one of intense interest as you approach
them"

There is one thing that would like to i'm
press upon the minds of the farmers of this
country. To all of you who have boys that
can write, get each one memorandum book,
few sheets of paper will do, if nothing bet
ter can be had, and in that let each Que
keep an account of each days work done in
the year the kind of work employed in and
the day of the month and date of the year
If in sowing, mention the kind of grain and
the amount of seed to the acre-the time of
planting and reaping. In fact, / should have
them note all the passing events of the farm;
and as they grow older they will find more of
Importance to note.
Five cents will buy book that will last one
year to commence with. My word for it,
If the farmers will adopt this course their
sons will be much better farmers than their
fathers.
1t may seem like dry business to COM
mence the first of January, but as the spring
opens the green grass spears, and bright pros
poets are IN our paths, the task will be'more
pleasing every day until the close of the year.
Who would not give twice what the paper
and ink cost, could he but obtain a memo
randum book written by his grandfather one
hundred years ago.
George Washington, one of the best farm
ers in America, kept journal of his farm.
Try it farmers, young and old; keeps jour-
nal of every day and, you will become a race
OF scientific book farmers, not to be imposed
upon.

First Use of Coal i'm England as
ElaRl.

When this article was first Introduced
into use as fuel in Great Britain, the
prejudice against it was so strong that
the Commons petitionnd to the Crown to
prohibit the 'snoxious" fuel A royal
proclamation having fai ed to abate the
growing nuisance, commission was issued
to ascertain who burned coal within the
city and its neighborhood, and to punish
them by fine for the first offence, and by
demo ition of their furnaces if they per-
sisted in transgression. A law was at
length PASSED; making it capital offence
to burn coal within the city Of London,
and only permitting it to be used in the
forges in the vicinity. Among the rec
ords in the Tower, M. Astle found docu-
ment importing that in the time of Ed
ward 1. a man had been tried, convicted, !,
and executed for the crime of burning
coal in London. 1t took three centuries
entirely to efface this prejudice.

minnesota.

The population of st. Paul, 74O miles
above St. Louis, on the Father of Wa
ters, is 1900, and rapidly increasing; ga
houses have been erected since the lst of
March. St. Anthony, at the Falls of
that name, contains 1000 inhabitats; FIVE
steamboats, arrive here weekly, all crowd
ed with passengers. Saltwater is the
only other considerable place, though 9TH
er villages are springing into existence
every year, and growing rapidly. "To
the invalid its dry, bracing air, and pure
spring water, are panacea for all the
ills with which he is afflicted. To the
farmer it presents soil rich and fertile,
well watered with beautiful rills and riv-
ulets, and climate wellsuited for agreat
variety of productions. y

A Candidates wi,hdrawaI.

A candidate for the Office of Coroner,
in Louisville, gives the following good
reason for Withdrawing:
"In fact disappointments have followed
me up on every hand. | had expected
the assistance Of fellow to occasionally
knock an individual in the head and tum-
BILE him into canal, but he turned vir-
tuous, joined circus company, and left
these diggins. l could not get along
without him-and | must decline, and
that positively"

A certain editor recently found him
self in rather an "ecited," condition and
was led home by theatrical friend. No
sooner had he secured himself by gather
ing the knob of his own door, than he in
rather an angry tone, ordered his friend
to depart. Thinking the language used
unbecoming, under the circumstaces the
friend replied why he was thus address
sed!

An oath reflected Upon.

Mr. Roman, hearing man call upon
God to curse him, offered him half a crown
to repeat the oath. The man stared.
"What sir! do you think would curse
my soul for half CROWN"
Mr. Roman answerd-"As you did
just now for nothing, could not suppose
you would refuse to do it for reward" /"
The poor fellow was struck with the
reproof, and said-"May Cod bless you,
sir and reward you,whoever You are. |

Use of Waste.

Our doctrines are-feed the earth and
it will feed you-feed the apple-tree and
it will yield fair fruit.
OUT-HoUsEs AND CELLARs.-These
should be cleaned out and white-washed
Appearance, comfort end health, all
compine to recommend the discharge of
this duty.
AsHEs-Take especial care of all the
ashes made on your place; don't permit
them to- be exposed to the weather; but
keep them under cover. Five bushels
of ashes, mixed with two double horse
cart-loads of marsh river mud, and muck
or peat, will convert the whole into good
manure.
A hogshead or two of soap suds would
do the same thing-therefore, among
your other savings, save and utilize
them.
POULTRY DUNG.-Ha ave this regular
ly swept up exery week, packed away in
barrels and sprinkled over with plaster.
Dana with force and truth says:
FThe strongest of all manures is found
in the droppings of the poultry YARD" "
Next year each barrel of it will manure
you half an acre of land; save it, then,
and add to the productive energies ofyour
soil. Don't look upon it as too trifing a
matter for your attention; but recollect
that the globe itself is an aggregation of
small matters.
BoNEs.-Have these carefully saved;
in every 200 lbs of them there is enough
animal matter, phosphate of lime, and
other salts, to grow an acre of wheat
One bushel of bones added to a load of
manure increases its value one half.
WooLEN RAGs.-These are rich in
the elements of manure; they contain
when dry 20.26 per cent. of nitrogen, and
should be used as manure. Dana says
they are nearly thirty-four times stronger
than fresh cow-dung..
In word save everything in the shape
of refuse or offal; it is all good to make
the crops grow-aH good to sustain veg
etable life, and through it, products to
sustain animal life. Let your eyes,
your mind, your heart and your hands, be
intently directed to the accumulation and
preservation of the materials to make
manure. Follow our advice and your lands
will grow rich and your pockets. heavy.

JOE Pr TIN
A Friend.

"A EEfGuOs
How sweetly do these little words
Break on the listening ear:
What hallowed incense cast around
The human heart to cheer;
To have one nearer than the rest,
Whose thoughts and feelings bleed,
Linked by that pure and holy tie
A true-a constant friend.
do not mean the sycophant,
All radiant with smiles;
Who, like the rainbow's golden beams,
Are lasting but awhile;
But one whose thoughts will true remain,
In sunshine or in storm;
Influenced naught by tattling knave,
Or sneering taunts of scorn.
Who, when the storms of life shall come,
Like ivy on the roof
Will ne'er release its hold upon,
Or parting, stand aloof;
But closer round its vines entwine,
AS if to shield from harm;
TIL by the cold and chilly blast
Is rudely snatched and torn.
This is the friend would have,
No other will claim;
For round the altar only kneel
Those worthy of the name.
Twas love like this that prompted one
Whose life to man was given;
That after death his soul might find
a sweet repose in heaven.

To Prevent Dampmess i'm walls.

A correspondent of the Builder has
contributed very simple method of pre-
venting damp walls, by the mere outside
application of lather Of soap and hot
water, and then, as soon as dry, sprinkling
the wall with saturated solution of alum.
He states that he prepared several places
in this way, and water, poured on the
wall, ran off as from a ducks back with
out producing the least effect.
