close their bars that day, if all others would do
either Of their accord by direction of the Court
We have noticed that in many counties Of the State

VEGETATION on SEEDS


Mr.. Editor :-I noticed in the PIow-
man Of July 9th, a request Of one of
your subscribers that the directions which
appeared in your paper some two wears
ago, for making a substance TO hasten the
vegetation Of seeds-might be repub-
i.shed. Being IN the habit of writing
down such receipts on the blank leaves
OF my diary, in order to test them at the
proper season. Ga practice which by the
way ! wonld recommend to all interes
led in these things-it takes but a min
ute or two. and for such short articles is
much preferable to hunting over a file Of
n~ewspapeTs.) referred to the book and
found the following:
Soak garden seeds four hours in a So
luton OF chloride Of lime-a quarter Of
an ounce chlorine Of lime, to a gallon Of
water. Seeds thus treated come up SOON

the season.'-TPIowman.

A BEAUTIFUL IrIUsTRATIoN.

By DR.. Cheerer.-We find the follow
ing admirable illustration by this eminent
divine going tho rounds Of the papers. and
publish 1t for the benefit of our readers.-
The illustration was used In a sermon on
Juvenile ~depravity.
A florist will tell you that if you paint
the flower pot that contains a f~avorite, beau
tifui flower. the plant will wither, and per-
haps its blossom will die. You shut out
the air and moisture from passing through
the earth to the roots, and your paint itself
Is poisonous. just so, mere external cult
vation or superficial, worldly accomplish
ment, or a too exclusive anxiety and regard
for that, injuries the soul. The vase NAV
be ever so beautifully ornamented, but If
you deny the water Of life to the flower. it
must die. And these are kinds Of orna-
mental accomplishments, and the very rro-
cess of which is as deleteriOus to the soul,
as the paint upon the Aower-pot is pcrnic-
lous to the plant whose delicate leaves not
only inhale a poisonous atmosphere during
your very process of rendering the exterior
moro tasteful, but the whole earth is dried
and devoid Of nourishment. Nature never
paints, but all her forms Of loneliness are a
growth, a native character, a possession and
Development from the beginning. If the
u can ever be called a painter, It is be-
y the plants absorb bis rays, and re-
eeive the very texture and life Of their veg
citation. So, whatever in knowledge, wis
dom, principle, character and life in educa-
ten, is a process Of the absorption and de-
velopement Of truth, is not mere painting
