H1LL1SG CRops.-Hilling, ridging, and moul-
ding up plants, though the too general practice
from time immemoral, is as much opposed to
reason and observation as it is to the economy
or nature, and these ought to govern all our ag-
rcultural pursuits. Iti practice only servicea-
BILE to celery, or other plants which require to be
blanched This mistaken practice compels the
plants to form new set of roots, as often as they
are hcd up. This injures the growth of the
plants 1t is also exactly calculated to carry off
rains and produce artificial droughts. A level
cultivation, which is the best, should only be
indeed enough to extirpate weeds. Ridging and
cutting the roots of the plants with the plow, al
though very commonly done, is undoubtedly an
injurious practice. The hoe and cultivator are
the best instruments for cleaning crops.

PLEA FOR THE HEART.
! BY I HENRY W. PARKER.

& BIZ HENRY w. PARKER.
The human heart !tbe human heart!
A.sea in storm, or sea at rest
: Where golden joys in glimpses dart,
: = Or monsters lift bristling crest:
And hidden fountains boil below,
~ And upper, under currents flow
sAh, why and whittier, who may know!
eg Such is the heart
Trust not the heart, if it be trust
&C., Inhoarded goodness, windy will;
: The rock of faith is drifting dust
And wi,fuiness in lust of ill;
But if thy calmer mood it be
That loves to bow the humble knee,
Fear not-an angel leadeth thee,
. Follow thy heart.
Passion may fash in vivid fame
3 And madly rush at reasons bound;
And worship tor human name,
Nav madly cast thee to the ground;
But If Ills love, and love alone,
That, as a flower has gently grown,
And would TO seraph eyes be KNOWN
Honor thy heart
9 Doubt may embattle earth and sky;
1850 The holiest word seems but word:
Yet heed thy heart; let not its cry
In all the conflict be unheard.
God is not found in mental din:
A way Hewould more sweetly win
= Oh, bring the King Of Glory in!
Believe thy heart.
g Error may come in robes of light
: And lead thee in its sylvan path,
Or wrongs may rise in feltered might,
And ask a voice of righteous wrath:
IS But first learn silence stay to thnk,
And if thy burdened soul must sluk,
. From outward danger scorn to shrink; -
Utter thy heart
4 Wouldst raze the castle thatmay screen
The nested adders of the past:
S Or wouldst thou wreath it4in the green
OF reverent ivy clinging fast !ss
Cherish the old, nor feer the new.
And pay the past It's grateful due,
Yet be to human longings true;
Enlargethy heart
The human heart-a sea at rest,
Or tost in dashing PASSIONS play,
"A gate that bars each angel guest,
q Or swings apart to boundless' day;
"A vine that struggles for the light,
Or falls-a knotted mass of blight
And selfimpiercing thorns OF spite
Oh, save thy heart.
The heart is all /; be thine deep
That mirrors all the upper blue;
x An orch triupphal with sweep
s So high that heaven may enter through
s. "A growth that clasps the highest ihrohe'
And circles Earth-a blooming gone
Aheart-a pulse of Natures own
Such be thy heart.

the revenue she could hope to receive from it Z

CRUELTY OF JAPANESE TO AMERICAN SAILORS.

inflicted by thu japanese on some shipwreck
American sailors The whaling ship Lawrence
of Poughkeepsie was wrecked on May 2sth,
1916, on a reef of rocks 800 miles off the coast
of Japan. The crew left for the coast in three
boits but got separated. One boat reached ia
pan safely after voyage Of days, but her crew
were Immediately seized and put into cages SINH
lar to those used for wild beasts. They were
kept there for ncarl year in half starved con-
dition, and then transported to the Dutch set
tlement down the coast and put into prison. Af-
ter two months they were brought before the
Chiefs who tried them for daring to approach
land and threatened to behead them, supposing
them to be Englishnen, against whom they tt It
bitter animosity. They explained that they
were Americans and nothing more was said, but
they were compelled to teample under foot a
a cross bearing the image Of the Saviour under
threat Of being massacreed. They were confined
two days more and then put on board Dutch
ship for Batavia, where they arrived in Decem-

The INFLUENCE OF CHR1sT1AN1TY.--The bles-
sed character of the influences which Christianity
has exerted upon the world, are yariously mani-
fest. 1t is shown in the intellectual advance
,nent and ameliorated physical condition Of the
race, in the relaxation of legal restraints, the in
creasing midness of criminal codes, the decrease.
of crime ITSELF the multiplied efforts of an en-
lightened benevolence the growing tendency to
give liberal character to national institutions,
the diffusion Of an honest sympathy with the
oppressed, the unfortunate and the employment
Of active measures appropriate to their relief
For all Of that superiority which the present age
and the nations of christendom may exhibit over
the past, they are indebted to the increasing
light of the Sun of Righteousness, as rises to-
wards the zenith with healing in its wings and
to the clearer discernment and heartier appro
priaton of the wisdom and knowledge of God
impaired in the Scriptures.

SPIRITUAL LKNowLEDGE.-There is.not so much
need of learning as of grace to apprehend those
things which concern our everlasting peace neis
ther;is it our brain that must be set to work. but
our heart. However excellent the use of schol:,
arship, in all the sacred employments of divinity,
yet in the main act which imparts salvation, skill
must give place to affection. Happy is the soul
that is possessed of Christ, how poor soever m
all inferior endowments. .Ye all wise and ye5
great wise, while ye spend yourselves in curious
questions, and learned extravagances, ye shall
find one touch of Christ more worth to your
souls, than all your deep and laborious discus:
sion. In vain shall ye seek for thisin your books
if We miss it in your bosoms. If you know all
things and cannot say, q know whom have
believed" you have but knowledge enough to
yourselves completely miserablesa The deep
mysteries of Godliness, which to the great clerks
of the world are as book clasped and sealedup,
lie open before him, (the pious and devout man, J
fair and slegible; and while those book men,
know whom they have heard Of, heknows 'whom
he hath believed" The; truth of christianity,
says pious author, "is.the spirit of God living
and working it it, and when the spirit is not the
life of it, then the outward form is but like The.
carcase of a dead soul" Divinity has certainly
been confused and perplexed by the learned. It
requires to be disentangled and simpifed It
appears to me to consist in this single point
the restoration of the divine life, the image Of,
God, lost and defaced by the fall, by the opera
ton of the Holy Ghost. When this is restored,
every other advantage of christianity follows in
course. Pure morals are absolutely necessary to
the reception of the Holy Ghost, and an una.
voidable consequence Of his continuance. The
attainment of Grace is thus nunc necessariun,
1t includes in it all Gospel comfort it teaches all
virtue, and leads infalibly to light, life, and Inn
mortality.-Bishop Hail. Z
