The day passed. During the school
hours, George and Mary had almost
forgotten that their tree was dying; but
at eve ming, as they drew their chalrs to
the table at which their mother was
sitting, and began to arrange the seeds
they had been gathering, the remem-
brance of the tree came upon them.
"Mother," said Mary, "you may give
these seeds to cousin John: | never
want another garden"
"Yes," added George, pushing the pa
pers in which he had carefully folded
them towards his mother, "you may give
them all away. II | could find some
seeds Of tree that would never fade, |
should like then to have garden.
wonder, mother, ifthere ever was such
a garden!"
ayes, George: Ihave read of q garden
where the trees never die"
"A real garden, mother"
ayes, my son. In the middle OF the
garden, have been told, there runs a
pure river ofwater, clear as crystal, and
on each side of the river is the tree OF
life, a tree that never fades. That gar
den is heaven. There you may love,
and live for ever. There will be no
death, no fading there. Let your treas
ure be in the tree OF life, and you will
have something to which your young
hearts can cling, without fear anG with
out disappointment. Love the Savior
here, and He will prepare you to dwell
in those green pastures, and beside those
still waters"

Some sinner perpetrates the following
in the Rising Sua Republican of last
week.
Rev. John w. Locke,s RemovaI.
Rising Sun, Oct. l3, 1853.
Mr.. EpIToR:-We learn with much
regret, that by the appointing power Of
the late Conference, Mr.. Locke is re-
moved from our midst, and from his fat
tering prospects of usefulness in this
community, to take charge of the Brook
vile College.
Though not q member of the Church,
and may not be allowed the right to de-
mur to the proceedings of that grave &C.
clesiastical body, yet must say, to me,
it seems hardly proper, and an act Of
impolicy, TO take u man so we'll quail
fed for the pulpit, and so eminently cal
culated to be useful as a pastor, and bury
him in college. Where is the wisdom,
and righteousness, of removing a minis
ter from his field of labor, Just at the
time, he has fairly prepared the ground,
and opened his way for effective opera
ton. Rising Sun has never had a
preacher, to whom we sinners have been
inclined to listen with more pleasure,
interest and seriousness, than to MIR.
Locke; and although your ungodlY cor
respondent says il, it's nevertheless true,
minister to be useful aud accompl ish
the object OF his mission, must be popu-
lar among the outsiders. speak advi-
sedly when say, Mr.. Locke is univer-
sally popular with those who belong to
no church, and also with the members
OF sister churches; and further | feel
safe in saying that all the intelligent
and worthy members of his own church,
highly esteem, aud are anxious to retain
him another year.
Mr.. Locke, though not noisy man,
Is sound divine, u thorough scholar,
and an impressive and an eloquent speak
er. Tie is unquestionably well quail
fed for the position in which he is now
placed as president of college; but at
the same time, undenably his useful
ness as a minister OF Christ, must there
by be greatly circumscribed.
But since the church has so Gecreed,
we sinners must be mum. We are graf
flied to be informed that the minister
who succeeds Mr.. Locke is n man ol
science, piety, eloquence and industry.
We hope Mr.. Locke, will preach for
US on the coming Sabbath.
Yours Respectfully,
INVISIBLE GREEN.

FOREIGN Raw MArERIALs.-The Ma

FOREIGN RAW MATERIALs.-The Ma
tional Intelligencer alludes to possible
modification Of the Tariff at the next ses-
sion Of Congress, and says:
"The first and most obvious modifca-
ton with view to reduce the revenue,
evidently is to remove the duties from all
foreign raw materials. IL is striking
fact that under the present Tariff the du-
ty on some raw materials is greater than
on the manufactured articles, and thus,
instead of giving any protection to the
home manufactures, it really gives a
bounty to the foreign one. II is tjus-
tice to Mr.. Walker, who may be con-
sidered the father OF the present tariff, to
say that the absurdity OF levying heavy
duties upon foreign raw materials which
are essential for our manufactures, and
which this country does not produce, was
contrary to his opinion and wishes, and
that fundamental basis of his scheme
was the admission Of all such articles
free of duty; but he was overruled in this
by some leading member of Congress
from the South, without whose assist
ance the tariff could not have been pas
sed, and to whose views he most reluc-
family yielded, as the only alternative by
which the law could be carried through
Congress-

seed Wheat.

A practical farmer from MaIns, writes
to the Patent office. that seed wheat
should never be thrsshed with machine.
He had tried the experiment, and that
threshed by hand yielded one fourth
more 10 the acre than that threshed
with the machine. and the berry was
much fuller, and the -four made from IL =
iar superior The reason for this he
contends. Is. that the machine breaks a
portion Of the seeds, which prevents
from growing: The outside coating be-
ing broken the moisture gets 10 the
germ and kills IL. This happens gener-
ally to the largest seeds--those that are
best developed and which produce the
small, hard shrivelled seeds remain
whole, These produce feeble stalks
and poor wheat II not chess. Hence he
accounts for the abundance OF chess In
wheat raised from the seed thre shed bv
the machines. II would be well for our
farmers to try this plan.
