Rev. John Herscy an old and wsl-
known Methodist Preacher in Virginia, is
thus described by the Richmond Exam
insr
Mr.. Herssy makes deep and lasting
impression wherever he goes. He is pro-
verbally straightforward, disinterested
and quieless. lie will wear no clothes
exeep saeb aEe indispensable 70 hia
comfort, and cat nothing except what is
necessary to keep das wheels Of life in
motion. lie would fast and pray til lit
orally starved 10 death, rather than touch
morsel Of any article Of food cooked on
Sunday. He would rather walk fifty miles
than indulge in the luxury OF ride u1
hundred wards. IIo would sooner pene-
trate the mud ltnee-deep than set his foot
on a Brussels carpet lie would sit on a
porcupinc saddle about as comfortably as
he would on cushioned chair. In exam
/ pie, as we'll as in precept, he loudly con-
dems the fashions, tho folies and yanities
Of this sinful world. He strikes at them
with ten-fod forcs wheR found in the
Church, or in persons processing the name
Of Christ. He does not believe in the
popular notion that "a saint in Grape is
twice a saint in lawn"
At the conclusion OF any Of his dis
courses in our mountains, he adapt as bis
own, with very Slight variations, the Ian
guage used by the eccentric Lorcnz.

In connection with this meanchohc

fact possesses the power Of breaking al
most any bank in the city; if it chooses 10

way; Esch city banks receives daily
from its depositors checks upon and notes

Clearing house the next day snd c2-

suspended from the privileges Of the in.
stilution. The Central Bank did not
conform TO this rule and was suspended
accordingly. The suspen sion was roi-
lowed bv a rush Of note-holders and dep
osi'ors which would be fatal to almost any
bank in the city. The balances. however
were paid at 3, p. NJ. On Wednesday III,
bank was closed, but the directors in.imat;

THIS Bank, as well as the Empire City

LESSONS or THz PAST SEASON.

We are much mistaken II the wheat
midge or weevii does not do US some sub
stsntiL good. Crops Of wheat which
have been put in early and in the best
manner, in land not injured by previous
inismapssenent, have been but slightly
affected. An energetic farmer Of our ac-
quaintsnce prepared his land last year, by
first turning over deeply good clover
sod-.hen giving, this good coat Of com
post rnanure-then narrowing the inveri-
a sod and compost into complete inter
mixture and pulyerizatiOn-then turning
the whole under with the gang Plow just

accomplished by the first day of suiumE.
Other crops on The same Farm, after Germ

some weeks later, and in less favorable
soil. Now mark the result. The hrs'
named crop yielded the present season ol

bushels oil the finest wheat per acre--ihC
other was only ten bushels per acre
Others crops in the same neighborhooa

AT tho same time, but with one Of then

the destruction OF "June grass" the lat

former only ten. Examples may be muI
iipisd to degree, showing the great pro

Is RELIGION BEAUTIFUL.

Always In the child, the maiden, the
wife, tho mother, religion shines with
holy, benignant beauty Of its own, which
nothing OF earth can mar. Never yet was
the female character perfect without the
study faith Of pisty. Beauty, intellect
and weallh-they are like pitfalls, dark
in the brightest day, unless the divine
light, unless religion throws her soft beams
around them, to purify and e1Slt, making
twice glorious that which seemed all love-
illness before.
Religion is very beautiful-in health or
SICKNESS, in wealth or poverty. We new
er enter the sick chamber Of the good,
but soft music seems to float on the air,
and the burden Of their song is: "Lo!
peac ce is here"
Could we look into thousands Of fam
lies to-day, when discomfort fights sui
lenly with life, we should find the chief
cause Of unhappiness, want of religion in
woman.
And in the lelon's celIs-in places Of
crime, misery, des'itu'iOn, ignoble-we
should behold in all rs most terrible de-
sarmity, the fruit Of irreigion in woman.
Oh, religion! berignant majesty, high
on thy throne thou siitest, glorious and
exalted. Not above the cloud, for earth
clouds come never between thee and truly
pious souIs-not beneath the clouds, foi
above these is heaven, opening through I
broad vista Of exceeding beauty.
It's gates are the spIendor Of jasper anc
precious stones, white with The dewy ligh
That neither flashes nor blazes, but steadi
" proeeedeth from the throne Of God
It's towers bathed in rerulgent glory teI
times the brightness of ten thousand suns
q yet soft, undazzling to the eye.
And there religion points. Art tho
= weary? it whispers, ''rest-up there
= there forever; art thou sorrowing? ? al
thou weighed down with unmeritcd ignc
niny "kings and priests are in tlat hoI
" home;' ar, dion poor "lhe very sire,
before Thy mansion shall be gold;" a
Z thou friendless? SHE angels shall be III
companions, and God Thy Friend al
Father"
Is religion beautiful? We answer, q
is desolation and delormiiy where religiC
, ID not.
