Keeping the Folks in Meeting

When Mr.. Moody, Handkerchief Moody
was on journey, in the western part of Mas
sachusetis, he called on brother in the minis
try, on Saturday, thinking to spend the Sabbath
with him, if agreeable. The man appeared
very glad TO see him and said,
should be very glad to have you stop and
preach for me tomorrow, but feel ashamed to
ask you.
Why, what is the matter!' said Mr.
Moody.
why our people have got into such habit
OF going out before meeting is closed, that il
seems TO be an imposition on a stranger
IF that is all, | must and will stop and preach
for YOU was Mr.. Moody's reply
When the Sabbath day came, and Mr. Moody
had opened the meeting and named the text, he
looked around on the assembly, and said,
My hearers, am going to speak TO two kinC
of folks to-day, saints and sinners. Sinners,
am going to give you your portion first, and
would have you give good attention.
When he had preached to them as long as h
thought best, he paused and said,
There sinners, / have done with you now
you may take your hats and 60 out of meetin,
as soon as you please
But all tarried and heard him through.

OYSTER SHELLs.-These have not been of
much account in this city till lately. The Gas
Company now use nearly all that can be fur
nished by our oyster dealers, for making lime
In the winter season, for purifying the gas,
they use about Sc bushels Of oyster lime each
week, and this amount is supplied from shells.
They have tall brick furnace standing in the
open air, near their works, which they fill with
shells and coke the latter burning freely, bakes
and purifes the shells, which, after being sepa-
rated from the ashes by seive, when slaked,
crumbes into the whitest aud purest lime
This is mixed with ammonia for the purifying
process, and after they have both been used for
cleansing the gas, the combination, lime and
ammonia, is sold to farmers for ten cents per
bushel. The farmers in this section are not
aware how great fertilizer of the soil it is -
but in all places where it is well known, there
is great demand for it, even at a much high
er price than is asked for il here.-yhdnchester

days in the city previous to his departure for
Liverpool. His appointment 10 that lucrative
consulsh1p has given universal satisfaction for
although the distinctions Of office can add moth
ing TO his fame, it is pleasant to see this re-
cognition Of his genius by The government, and
it is equally gratifying to be represented abroad
by SO noble specimen of American manhood
Hawthorne has passed his life in the seclnsion
of the country, and has all the pride, diffidence
and sensibility of true genius, shrinking alike
from patronage and curiosity; yet, he is by no
means misanthrope or a recluse; but accessi-
BILE, genial and sympathetic. He says little in
society; but even his silence is eloquent, for
his countenance expresses all that his voice
does not. Hawthorne is an illustration of the
mems sana in sOrpOre SanO required by the Lat
in poet, and SO seldom found in connection with
modern genius, which is, universally, dyspeptc
or consumptive. He is athletic and symmetri-
cal, and has the most remarkable and distin-
guished head we have seen since Webster's s.
Home Journal.

EXAMPLE OF SUCCESS IN LTMING.-Tbe
Genesee Farmer gives an account Of a farm
in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, which
has been one hundred years under cultivation,
and during the last fifty has been lined every
ten years. 1t was much exhausted when
the Use of lime was first resorted to for its
renovation, but the application of ten bushels
per acre, developed elements of fertility be-
fore unavailable in The growth ofcrops. At
ter the lapse of ten years, the good effect of
The lime disappeared, and new dose of ten
bushels per acre again administered. The
soil is gravely loan, and yields, with linn
ing, thirty bushels per acre. Clover, plant
which feeds very largely on lime, is grown
ih rotation with the wheat, and is either
turned with the plough or feed to animals,
whose manure is applied to the land. This
is one Of the most successful examples OF
lming that has met our notice, and on other
soils the result might be quite different.
