Bishop Roterts and the Lawyer.

Bishop Roberts was man of great
sweetness of disposition, perfectly childlike
and simple in his manners. You felt very
soon that you could approach him as
father. He had no affected stateliness of
manner but looked for all the world like
some plain, respectable farmer. This was,
perhaps, one cause of the many curious,
and sometime. laughabie incidents in his
history, i'll which his person and character
we're entirely mistaken. We give one of
these incidents as reported to US. Bishop
Roberts was in steamer, on the Missls.
sippi river, and was sitting off by himself,
on the hurricane deck, when a gentleman,
an emiaeat lawyer, residing in the south
west, approached him, and entered into
conversation with him. Surprising from
his ,rpo.rance, that he was religious
man, Re began to converse with him in
reference to the number Of preachers with
whom the lawyer was acquainted, with
several Of whom the old gentleman seemed
to be acquainted fiaally, the lawyer con-
cludcd to question Lim in reference to
the Bishops,
"Sir," said he, Il have heard Bishop
Soule, Of the Methodist Church, and
think him very able man; do you know
him -
"Yes," said the old man, al have
known him a good many years, and agree
with you fully as to his talents as preach
er."
"Then," said the lawyer, "there is a
small man who visited our town some time
since, think they called him DR.. Emory;
1 did not hear him, but heard him highly
spoken of as preacher"
Here again his old friend knew the little
Doctor, and endorsed all the good that
had been said Of him. "And," said the
lawyer, there was another, an old man,
who preached not long since in our place ;
think they called him Bishop Roberts
they sag he is most excellent man, but
NO great preacher do you know him."
"Yes," said the old gentleman, d" | have
been acquainted with him for good many
years; l believe the old man is honest
and tries to do the best he can, but he ;:
not much of a preacher"
Shortly after the lawyer descended tt
the cabin, and going up to his wife, an!

on deck: think be must be Methods

"why husband" said she, " don't yo
know that old gentleman that is Bisho
Roberts, and he bap,ised me -
"O-O," said the lawyer, (who va
reported to be very modest man) "rn

He fastened back to bis old friend o.
deck.
"Sir," said he, al owe you an apolog
for my rudeness; my wife says you ar

John Bunyan's Silver Mime.

In these days OF rushing after gold, as
a seasonable warning, we copy for per-
usal the following passage from Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress
Al the farthest side Of the plain called
Ease, was n little hill called Lucre. and
in that hill a silver mine, which some of
them that had formerly gone that way.
because of lis rarity, had turned aside to
sec but going near 10 the brim Of the
PIT, the ground being deceitiul under
them, broke and they were slain. Some
also had been manned there, and could
not, 10 their dying day, be their own men
again.
Then | saw in my dream, that q little
of of the road over against the silver
nine, stood Demas, to call passengers to
come and see who said to Christian and
his fellows" Ho Turn aside hitherto,
and | will show you thing"
What thing so deserving as TO turn
US from the way : asked Christian.
Here is a silver mine and some dig
glng in 1t for treasure. Ifyou will come,
with a little pains you may richly provide
for yourselves
Then said Hopeful, let US go and sec.'
Not /, said Christian. Il have be-
fore heard Of this place, and how many
here have been slain and besides, that
treasure is snare to those that seek il,
for IT hindereth them in their pilgrimage
Then Christian called to Demas saying
= is not the place dangerous
Not very dangerous except to those
that are careless. But wthal, he blush
ed as he spoke.
Then said Christian to Hopeful,
let US not stir a step, but still keep on
our way
i will warrant you when By-ends
comes up, if he has the same invitation
as sc, he will turn in hither to see
No doubt thereof, said Christian,
for his principles lead him that way,
and hundred to one he dies there

siderallons of local character apperlain-

its selection; aud f the future could be seen
as well as the present, should not be long
in making up my mind Though coming
events cast their shadows before" yet these
shadows must be very palpable to the sense,
so as to be unqnestIonable IN character, or
the said events themselves, must be proved
by exlraneous aud less unsubtantiaI eyi-
dence, to Justify prompt conclusion in re-
latlon TO them.

novelty, | cannot rest easy under merely
conservative policy. | want to see our vii

directions and as the plant increases
above ground, so do the roots increase
their ramidcalons beneath the surface,
and demand a continual supply of food.
am aware it win be replied, this process
is in search of food, which will be I'M
necessary if this be supplied ready at
hand. But is this consistent with their
mode of feeding, and the conditions I'M
der which their nutrition is practically
effected 1t is well known they cannot
feed on solids, and that they receive their
nourishment only in a liquid or gaseous
state; that this contamination isvery grad
ually effected through the agency of the
atmosphere or water, and consequently
that it is readily accomplished in pro-
portion to the minute division of the
manure subjected TO those influences.
Again, Just as the first delicate roots
are emitted is not the time nj which they
require a concentrated supply of the rich
es, food; but their appetites and their
powers of assimilation grow with their
growth, and, as they increase, they re-
quire larger supply in all directions.
and that readily prepared by gradual
solution and decomposition. Entertain
ing these views, was much pleased TO
see, some time ago, prize offered by the
Royal Agricultural Society for the best
manure distributor as a step in the right
direction; and | cannot but think the.
implement makers will be more usefully
employed in contrving means for minute
division, and thorough and equal distri-
button of manures, than for their con-
centration. Ithas been frequent mat
ter of discussion, whether it is the better
plan TO lay on the manure in the autumn,
and pillow it in before winter, or TO do
this before spring sowing.
The foregoing considerations would
lead to the adoption of autumnal manur-
ing Immediately followed and covered by
the pillow, by which means, the manure
would be thoroughly incorporated with
the soil during three or four months they
would be iniermixed. The main obiec-
ton TO that system was heretofore con-
sidered to be that the ferllising elements
OF the manure, were, in great measure,
lost by the washing of the winter rains.
The observations, however, made of late
years, on the absorbent powers of all
soils, except those composed mainly Of
sand, and which have been recently de-
mons,rated by the highly important and
interesting experiments Of Professor Way
have clearly established the fact that
The soil has the peculiar property Of abb
sorbing and appropriating all those ele-
ments of manures intermixed with it
which are essential TO the growth of
plants-ihc most valuable discovery,
perhaps, in its results, for which agrlcul-
ture has been indebted 70 science

GARpESISG. We know not one fan
cy, one recreation, so unalloyed in all
its points as the cultivation of garden.
IL seems TO afford, in common with all
the rest of the fancies, The full enjoy
ment common to all, and TO have a large
balance IN its favor. The miser over his
treasure g oats not more completely up
on his money than the gardener does
upon his choice fruits, flowers, and veg
etables. The lover of the garden is a
general collector, and creator of new
beauties into the bargain he sows his
seed with pleasure, he watches the pro-
gress ofhis plants with interest, he looks
for their opening flowers or swelling
fruits with anxiety and if his hopes are
crowned by one solitary plant, fruit, or
flower, better than his present stock, he
is repaid for all his trouble, labor, and
waichiulness il not he begins again,
