CONSISTENCY OF FARMERs.-We find in
paper read before the Society of Arts by
Mr.. Mach, the following home thrusts at
some of the inconsistence of farmers:
"Farmers dig their gardens two feet
deep, but only plow their lands five inches.
They take especial care of their nag horses
in good warm stable but expose the farm
horses and cattle to all weathers. They
deny the utility Of drainage in strong tena.
cious clays, but dare not dig an under.
ground cellar in such soils, because the
water would get in. They waste their
liquid manure, but buy guano from Peru to
repair the loss, and some practicle men,
who are in ectasies with the urine Of the
sheep fold, have been known seriously to
doubt the benefit of liquid manure. But, it
may be asked, "Where is the capital to
come for all these improvements Z" The
reply will be, "Where does the capital come
from to make railways and docks, to build
steam vessels, to erect whole town of new
squares and streets, and to carry out every
other useful and profitable undertaking!

THE MODEST CLERK.

Notslong since, there came to our city an
anassuming young man, whose delicate
health had prevented him from entering the
ministry, and made it advisable that he should
Fconmence business as merchants clerk.
Entering an establishment here, he found
himself the roommate of the head clerk, a
tmoralist, and proud Of his virtues, and of a
second clerk, kind, but gay and houghtless.
And now came the first struggle of duty
Should he retire without reading the Scrip
lures and prayer! Conscience told him his
duty, but his fears answered, "Give me any
cross but that"
After two months of disquiet and remorse,
DAYS of ceaseless unrest and nights of sleep.
less trouble, he drew forth his mothers Bible
from his trunk, and endeavored to extract
consolation from it; but alas, he saw that
those who would find rest must take the
yoke; and every passage seemed addressed
TO him, summoning him to take up the cross,
however great the sacrifice. He resolved to
obey. That night, however, his companions
entered the room unusual gay, and amid
laughing and trihing and varied conversa-
ton, there seemed no place to introduce de-
potional exercises. He anxiously awaited
the favorable moment, but it came not; and
when sleep succeeded to silence, he had
failed of duty, and was again in distress.
The night was spent in penitent confession
and secret resolutions for the next evening.
These resolutions he determined nothing
should thwart.
As the trio were again brought together
IN their room for retirement, he saw the
fine had come. With trepidation aud trem-
SEhs,. he said to the eldest clerk, Henry,
we have been room.mates for long time,
and have never prayed together. Let us
neglect this duty no longer. have done
wrong in delaying as Ihave." The moralist
was struck dumb with amazement The
other clerk was silent also. He opened that
dear Bible Of his mother, read, kneeled by
his chair ;;,and thenywa verified the promise,
'oIt shall come to pass that before they call,
Twill answer: and while they are yet speak
ing, / will hear" Night after night the
three clerks bent the knee in prayer. The
moralist acknowledged a power he knew
nothing of. Conviction ensued, and he is
new rejoicing in the hope which maketh not
ashamed, and ascribes his first impressions
to that prayer of the trembling junior clerk.
How heavy the cross when it is a cross in
anticipation; how light the cross when it is
the cross remembered. How Insignificant
the consequences when anticipation mea-
sures them by her fears; how immense the
consequences when the reality arrives.

Mr.. LEwrs,-The Patent Straw Gutter which you
invented, and are now offering to the public, is n
most excellent article and deserves public favor.
Two years since purchased one and have had
it in constant use-it has never been out of repair
in any respect, answering all the purposes you re-
commend it for. l most cheerfuly commend it to
farmers in all sections, and could not be induced to
part with the one have, without the prospect Of
obtaining apother, for FIVE times it cost .

still content to dine on salt pork or beef,
with the addition of potatoes only, rather
than devote few hours to the cultivation OF
kitchen garden. But health and good
taste demand that farmers table should
contain full variety of vegetables. Rad
ishes, lettuce, caulifowers, beans, peas, to.
matoes, beets, turnips, and indeed many
others, should be found there in the proper
seasons, while melons and the small fruits
will furnish the breakfast and evening board
with healthful luxuries.
Rasberries, strawberries and blackberries,
may be grown almost without labor, and
with due attention, their improvement in
quality will fully compensate for the pains
taken.
If farmers wish their children to be fond
of home, they should at least furnish them
with such luxuries as every journeyman
mechanic would purchase in the large cities
for the use of his family, particularly when
he can do so at comparatively little cost.

TOPPING COTTON.

Some of our readers, we trust, will expert
ment on the benefits to be derived from
topping cotton. The question should be
settled whether any advantage is attaina-
bic by this practice; and if any, how much I!
AS system Of seasonable pruning, it
should be followed, if followed at all, with
sound Judgment 1t is not the largest weeds
or plants that always yield the most lint
and how to argument the growth of the
staple, as composed with the other parts of
the plant, is the knowledge which all plan
ters should aim to develope. If we had a
field of growing cotton, we should not only
experiment in topping portion of it, but
apply ashes caustic or undpped) to about
one or two hundred hills of plants in June.
A gill to plant scattered about over a
foot or Is inches square, and dug into the
soil might aid much in developing forms
and filling them with seed and lint Guano,
and urine, ought to be tried in similar
manner; and lime, plaster and salt, as well
as manure, may be worked in about the
stems and need roots Of cotton and corn,
| when TILED in June.
The art Of feeding cultivated plants on
scientific principles is in its infancy. Ex-
periments are much needed to verify or
falsify the suggestions Of agricultural chem
lists. All want more light, and all should
lend helping hand to increase and diffuse
it. We are not to expect miracles in behalf
of improvements in agriculture. Progress
is wholly impossible without effort The
pursuit of the farmer has remained in some
nations without material change for thou
sands of years. Cultivators of the soil did
not try to improve either themselves or
their paternal acres; and therefore no i'm
provement in either was attained. Let our
friends be admonished in spirit Of national
progress, that if they stand still the world
will not. Indeed, there is some reason to
fear that if one refuses to advance with this
advancing age, he will be trodden under
foot and crushed into the earth as a " cum
berer of the ground"

THE POWER OF TRUTH.

How simple and beautiful, has Abdel
Madir, GhiIlion, impressed US with the love
of truth: insh his childhood. After stating the
vision which made him entreat his mother
to 20 to Bagdad and devote himself to God,
he thus proceeds:
eel informed her what had seen and she
wept; then taking out eighty dinnars she
told me IIhad a brother, half of that
was my inheritance; she made me swear
when she gave it to me, neuer TO tell q lie,
and afterwards babe me farewall, exclaim-
ing" Go, my son, consgn thee to God"
s"I went on well, till | came near Ha-
manduia, when our dafllah was plundered
byfifty horsemen. One fellow asked what
E.had got"
~Forty dinnars," said /, care sewcd
under nay garments"
The fellow laughed, thinking no doubt !
was jphing.
"What have YOU gota" said another.
When they were dividing the spoil, [ was
called to an eminence where the chief stood.
-"What property have you got, my little
fellow said he.
e"I have told two Of your people already"
Ireplied, have forty dinnars sewed in my
garments.
He ordered them ripped open, and found
my money.
"And how came you," said he In surprise,
to declare so openly what had been so care
fully concealeds
:" Because will not be false to my moth
er, to whom have promised l nerer 1rill
tell lie"
"Child," said the robber, "hast thou
such sense of duty to thy mother, at thy
years, and ann insensble at my age OF the
duty I owe my God! Give me thy hand,
innocent boy" he continued, "that may
swear repentance upon it."
He did SO. His followers were all alike
struck with the scene.
"You have been our leader in guilt" said
they to the chief, be the same in the path
of virtue"
And they instantly, at his command made
restitution of the spoils, and vowed repen-
tance on his hand.-History of Persia.
THE GOSPEL PREcIous-Oh, precious
gospel! Will any merciless hand endeavor
to tear away from our hearts this best, this
last, and sweetest consolation! Would you
darken the only avenue through which one
ray of hope can enter? Would you tear
from the aged and infrm poor the only prop
on which their souls can repose in peaces
Would you deprive the dying of their only
source of consolations Would you rob
the world Of its richest treasure? Would
you let loose the floods gates of every vice,
and bring back on earth the horrors ofsuper-
stition or the atrocities of atheism9 Then
endeavor to subvert the gospel; throw
around you the: fre.brands Of in6delity /;
laugh at religion, and make mock of futu-
rity; but be assured, that for all these things
God will bring you into Judgment. will
