REuGIos. Whatever of excellence is
wrought into the soul itself, belongs 10
both worlds. Real goodness does not,
fame cannot last forever. but conscience
void Of offence before God and man, is an
inheritance for eternity. Religion, there
fore, is necessary, and almost indispensa-
bic element in any human character. -
There is no living withoutit. Religion is
the tie that connects man with his Creator,
aud holds him to His throne. If that tie
is sundered or broken, he floats away, a
worthless atom in the universe, its proper
attractions all gone, its destiny thwarted,
and its whole future nothing but darkness.
desolation and death. A man with no
sense Of religious duty is he whom the
Scriptures described--in SO terse but ter.
rifle nanner--as Giving without God in
ths world. Such man is out of his be.

Early fruit trees shouldbe protected from

Feed your fowls the year round if you

Give your calves, which you intend to
