. THE BIBLE.-How comes it that little vol.
umr. composed by humble men in a rude age,
when art and science were in their childhood,
has exerted more influence on the human mind
and on the social system, than all the other
books put together Whence comes it that
this book has achieved such marvellous changes
in the opinion of mankind-has banished idol
worship-has ABOLISHED infanticde-has put
down polygamy and divorce-exalted the con
dition of woman-raised the standard of pub
lie morality-creatcd for families that blessed
thing, a christian home -and caused its other
trumphs by causing benevolent institutions,
omen and expansive, to spring up as with the
wand of enchantment9 What sort of book
is this. that even the winds and waves Of hu-
man passion obey ita What oth"r engine of
social improvement has operated so long, and
vet lost hone of its virtue! Since appeared,
manv boasted plans of amelioration have been
tried and failed, many codes of jurisprudence
have arisen, and run their course and expired.
Empire after empire has been launched on the
tide of time, and gone down, leaving no trace
on the waters. But this book is still going
about doing good, leaving society with its holy
principles cheering the sorrowful withits con-
soation-strenglhening the tempted-encollr-
aging the Notwithstanding the troubled sP'r-
it-and smoothing the pillow of death! Can
such book be the offspring of human genius
Does not the vastness of its effects demonstrate
the exccllency of the power to be of God!

learn to improve their time properly, and do ev-
ery,hing in its proper season. 1t is idle to ex-
pect man to be thrifty farmer who habitu-
ally negects to do what may be required Of him
at its proper time, and who acts without any
definite system, the mere creature of circum-
stances Many, we arc aware, are really lgno-
rant Of the proper time to perform certain kinds
of labor, and are so improvdent and thought
less, that nothing is accomplished to any good
purpose. 1t is not an unusual thing to sec those
of whom we might reasonably expect better
things, ueglcctins even works of necessity until
times as are most difficult to perform them. 1t
is indeed but short time since we passed the
residence of man who has something Of an
amount of property in his possession, whom we
observed in the act of preparing fuel for his i'm
mediate use, from some green logs which he had
hauled to bis door but a day or two previous.
A single load was all that was to be seen for
the summers supply, although the winter was
far spent, and the snow had well night departed.
Now this man was certainly an improvident
farmer. He was burdening his summers labors
with work which should have been performed
during the winter months But he is not alone.
There are thousands of families in this State, as
we'll as in other parts of New England, who are
in like predcament. Such surely neglect the
duties they owe to their profession, the noblest
which God has granted man to pursue We in
stance this as only a single case. There are a
thousand other ways in which improvidence is
manifested 1t is impossible to lay down any
rule which shall be applicable to all individual
cases, further than is embraced in the general
one, Ito 10 all things in due season." but we
may safely advise every one to use their thinking
as well as their corporea powers, and to improve
their leisure hours in forming plans for action.
Well directed efforts accomplish vastly more
than those performed without design. Learn
to perform every work in its due season, and to
anticipate all such duties as can well be anticpa-
ted. Vast Improvements in agriculture over
the old methods, are daily becoming known, and
the providcut farmer, will not fail to inform him
self of them. Labor saving instruments are
annually added to the implements of The agri-
culturist, knowledge and use Of which may
save to every husbandmen four fold their cost.
The provident man will not fail TO inform him
self accordingly. Volumes might be written in
culcating this idea, and enforcing the necessity
of proper fore-thought. We trust that our rea-
dels mainly belong TO that class who need only
a hint, and not labored dissertations, to induce
them to act rightly. a new era is dawning
upon our agricultural industry, and those en-
gagged in it have only to observe one rule to en-
sure themselves Of success, and that is, to be duly
provident.-L Lewiston Falls Journal.

THE FALLING LEAF.-It has been fancy
born of our day-drealns, that for every leaf that
fails human soul ascends for every leaf that
unfolds, a spirit glides from the dim past into
the active prcsent-and thickly as fall the de-
caving leaves, do forms Of human mould drop
into the soil.
We watch the yellow leaf as itstruggles with
its downward tendency, cssaying in vain to hang
in mid air, shrinking from the cold resting place,
and buoyed up with momcntary hope, as "a i
stray breeze watts it up again, only to descend
more rapidly. l. seems to wal, to shrek, as 1t
settles nearer and nearer to the de;csted soil
As it lies worn out and dead upon the chill
earth, the spirit whispers: Another has gone to
the tomb! Nature drops a leaf for every one
who falls as the nun drops bead for every sin
she thinks.
As we stand beside the spent leaf, so stands
weeping ones around the new-made grave. All!
as they embalm their dead in tears and undy-
inr memories, so will we embalm thce thou
typifver of human fraity. Thus between the
leaves of the book of books the sicky leaf Is laid
as nsemcnto mori. As gaze on the skeleton
form, follow the decay Of the one for whom 1t
fell. and turn thoughtfulIy away, gaze up to the
myriad of leaves, and ask, Switch one sha fall
for me"

EDUCATION OF Bors.-We know not who
is the author Of the following paragraph, but Ii
contains sound sentiments which ought to be
treasured up by every parent and guardian in
the land:
"Evcry boy should have his head, his heart
and his hand educated. Let this truth never
be forgotten. By. the proper education OF the
head, he will be taught what is good and what
is evil, what is wise and what is foolish, what
is right and what is wrong. BY the proper
education of the heart, he will be taught to
love What is good, wise and right, and to hate
what is evil, fuolishand wrong. And byProp-,
or education of the hand, he will be enabled
to supply his wants, to add to his comforts,
and to assist those around him. The highest
objects OF good education, are, to reverence
and obey God, and to love and serve mankind.
Everything that helps us in attaining these OBJ
jects is of great value, and everything that
binders us is omparatvcly worthless. When
wisdom reigns in the head, aud love in the
heart, the man is ever ready to do good; or
der and peace smile around, and sin and sor-
row are almost unknown.
