1t is our duty to work and our priyi-
lege to suffer in this glorious cause. In
conclusion, the African mission should
engage the especial attention of the
South. In this way only can the i'm
mensesdebt we owe to the down trod-
den negro be partially cancelled. At
rica, the Niobe of nations, is a suppli-
ant at our feet. She makes no recrim-
nations; she complains not of her
treasures that We have spoliated, her
blood that we have spilled, her children
that we have enslaYed. She only asks
in return for all this the Word of Life;
and what heart can be SO cold and hard
as to retuses
Such is brief compendium Of this
eloquent discourse. We have seldom
beheld a more impressive scene than
when that holy man, raising to heaven
his sightless eyebals. exclaimed, alt
IS a precious privilege to suffer in such
glorious cause !" The sermon loses
much OF its effect in this extract, as it
is made only from such imperfect notes
as could be taken while it was deliver

and arguments herein contained can
not fail to convince any candid read.

unhesitatingly that our slaves should

Lime and Ashes Effects of the two
Combined.
" May your rich soil.

We give below some results of gu
experience in the application Of lin
and ashes: In the spring of 1912,
field preyiousl Y broken up for corn, re
cciyed an application Of lime, at th'
rate Of fifty bushels per acre. III on,
corner OF this field were eleven acres
which had for many years beer cult
waited in cotton, and which received
annually heavy dressing Of ashes anC
well rotted stable or barn-yard manure
To this portion of the field il was deem.
ed unnecessary toapply any lime. The
following crop Of corn was nearly equa
throughout the adjoining newly lime,
land and the eleven acres fOrmerl,
heavily and frequently ashed. The
whole was sown in wheat in the month
Of October, and to our surprise the
growth of wheat on the eleven acres
was greatly inferior to that on the sur.
rounding lined land; the growth ol
clover on each being about equal. Iii
July and August, Of 1874, the same
field was iallowed for wheat, where
the eleven acres formerly omitted in
lining received an equal dressing Of
fifty bushels per acre. The result was
thirty eight bushels Of wheat per acre
from the eleven acres, and only TWEEN
ty-iiye bushels from the adjoining lin.
ed land, but ON which no ashes had
been applied.
In 1874. another field, broken up for
corn, received dressing Of fifty bush
els per acre Of lime, including a large
CALLED spot on one side Of the field,
which, in addition to the lime, received
heavy application Of well rotted ma
nure, besides a heavy covering Of wheat
straw iormerly plowed deeply under,
The corn on this CALLED spot was worth.
less, as was also the following crop Of
wheat. In 1876, this same field was
fallowed for wheat, previously dressing
over tie still bare aud unsightly CALLED
spot with ashes aud cinders from the
blacksmith's shop. On all, the follow.
ing crop Of wheat was good; but on the
formerly CALLED spot the growth was SO
heavy that il lodged long before matu-
rity, and with consequent injury to the
grain. In after years the crop Of corn
was always inferior on this formerly
CALLED spot, compared to that on the
surrounding field, but on it the wheat
crops Here superior, and the crops Of
clover about eqsal.
For several subsequent years we
made similar experiments, with some
what varying results, but all Of which
strongly tended 10 strengthen our be-
lief that lime is a necessary basis in
all fertile soils, and that while ashes
are Of great value, their value as ma
nure is greatly enhanced when applied
TO land previously lined, and rice rtr-
Sd. These experiments and obser,a.
tions were made in the Underwater sec.
tion Of Virginia. We will only add
that, while gypsum was used with
marked benefit on these lands after
lining, IFS application was altogether
worthless on lands unlimed. We only
state The facts, and leave our readers
TO draw their own inlerences.

Can't AFFORD IT.-At this season of
the year, when people are called upon
to subscribe to papers, the excuse 81
cant afford it," is very frequently
made, which being interpreted, means
!" ! regard other things Of more conse-
quence to myself and family than a
newspaper" Rightly considered, there
are few influences which tell more i'm.

proyement of the family circle, than

per. Judge Thomas, of Worcester,
Massachusetts,, in a recent lecture be-
for the Young Mems Association, in
this city, said: The newspaper press
is destined to be the chief instrument
of popular culture. 1t is. intelleetu-
ally, the daily bread Of the people.
The power Of the press, great as It's,
and continually increasing, will draw
to itself and demand for ITS service
more Of the learning and talents of the
country. The eloquence of the bar, of
the assembly, and Of the stump, create
4 stronger immediate impression, but
their sphere is too imited.to compete
with the wide influence Of the pen. As
instruments for swaying the popular
mind, they all yield to il. The pen is
the true lever Of Arclimedes, and in the
newspaper press has found the place
Tor the fulcrum.
A man cannot afford 10 deprive his
family Of the advantages which news
paper affords. What are few dollars
and cents in comparison with right
views, sound principles and generous
feelings?
