HARVEST IN WET WEATHER. cores
pondent of the Richmond Wing advises
farmers, when wet weather prevails during
harvest, to cut their wheat regardless of
rain, put it up Immediately in cocks of about
five bushels, securing the tops by spreading
a sheaf of wheat upon the top of each, and
not to open or disturb them until all appear
ances of rain have ceased. Some years ago
the writer, who then lived in Essex, on the
banks Of the Rappahannock river, adopted
this plan, as suggested by an intelligent
overseer, and did not disturb the cocks un,
til the wheat was removed to the barn for
threshing. When he commenced moving
the wheat, he found the outside Of the cocks
as green as a meadow, and so much sprout.
ed that most of it was lost But, although
the straw on the inside was mouldy, the
grain was in perfect state of preservation
and the crop both as to quality and quanti
ty, was the best he remembered to have
ever made. He has pursued the same
method since with equal success, and ha,
never dreaded wet harvest from that time

SUBSTITUTE FOR L1ouoR S4LooNg.-

SUBSTITUTE FOR Liquor SzfLooNs,-
A movement has been commenced in zBos-
ton, which if fully carried out, will tend
to divert hundreds of young men from the
meshes of the rum shops, and gradually
lead them to acquire taste for intellectual
improvement, instead of wasting their en-
ergies in the qualification of depraved appe-
tites and passions. We hope if the exper-
iment which is now being made in Boston
should succeed, that a movement of the
kind may be made in this city, where it is
said club rooms, for drinking and gambling,
are quite numerous.
A gentleman has leased three large
rooms Id Brattle street, the upper Of which
will be quiet reading room the second
a picture gallery, conversation and music
Rom, sfhe entranks fee to both of which is
to be ST year 7VThe other to be al ice
cream and coffee saloon open to the public,
the whole to be known as the Mechanic s
Club Room" A correspondent of the n
Y. Tribune says:
1.-The practical effect, if the scheme is
successful, is simple enough. A poor me-
chanic who used to be thoroughly drudged
and worn out at the end Of the day, who of
all things could not bear to be alone; who
had not many friends nor a pleasant home
in his tenement-room, and who therefore
most naturally joined jovial circle in the
nearest liquor shop over their punch or
Sings" until the unquenchable thirst
sprang up, to crafty which every dollar
was sacrificed will pay once year
his dollar, find himself in cheerful, ele-
CANT room, with the best of his craft, and
at liberty to amuse himself in the most
sensible and social way. He can enjoy the
pictures on the wall, or read papers and
magazines, or listen to the music, or chat
over cup Of coffee with men of his own
rank of life, or read in quiet corner books
from the Circulating Library. No rum
shop is more comfortable; he gets the news
OF the day here as readily as elsewhere he
has the stimulus of his coffee after his un-
natural labor, and above all, some gratif-
cation to his unconscious but incessant
hungerlngs for amusement and beauty
The great attractions of the liquor saloons
are gone-company, cheerfulness and ex-
cltement. He gets them here without the
depraving influences, and free from the
temptation of alcohol, so fearful to the la
boring man. No one can imagine, except
some few Of strong sanguine and nervous
organizations, what tremendous induce
ment there Is to an excitable overworked
laborer to dripk-to get drunk-at the
end of his day. His feelings are depressed
with exhausting drudgery, his physical
powers able to bear great strain of excite.
ment, his heart and Imagination hunger.

IHE BIBLE AND THE DISCOVERIES OF
ScIENc E-The following eloquent passages
Physicaf 7e6g{apnJS OF me 5ea ea----l- d.
The Bible frequently makes allusion to
the laws Of nature, their operation and eff
fects. But such allusions are often so
wrapped in the fold of the peculiar and
graceful drapery with which its language is
occasionally clothed, that the meaning
though peeping out from its thin covering all
the while, yet lies in some sense concealed,
until the lights and revelations Of science
are thrown upon it; then it bursts out and
strikes us with the more force and beauty.
AS our knowledge Of nature and her
laws has increased, so has our understanding
of many passages in the Bible been improv-
ed. The Bible called the earth the round
world ; yet for ages it was the most damna-
bic heresy for christian men so say the world
is round and, finally, sailors circumnaviga-
ted the globe, proved the Bible to be right,
and saved christian men Of science from the
stake. Canst thou tell the sweet influence
of the Pleiades 2
Astronomers of the present day, if they
have not answered this question, have thrown
so mach light upon.it as to show that, if ever
it be answered BY man, he must consult the
science astronomy. 1t has heen recently
all but proved that the earth and sun, with
their splendid retinue of comets, satellites
and planets, are all in motion around some
point or centre of attraction inconceivably
remote, and that that point is in the direc
ton of the star Alcyon, one of the Pleiades
Who but the astronomer, then, could tel
their sweet influences
And as for the general system of atmos
pherical circulation which Ihave been so long
endeavoring to describe, ths Bible tells 1T al
an a single sentence: The wind goeth to
wards the South and turneth about unto th
North it whirleth continually, and tht
wind returneth again according to his cir
cults

Shutting Doors.

Don't look SO cross, Edward, when I
call you back to shut the doors; aud be-
sides you have got to spend your life shut
ting doors, and might as well begin to learn
now
do forgive me gran'pa, ought to be
ashamed to be cross tosyou. But what do
you mean !? I amt going to'be sexton.
I am going to college, and them I'm going
to be a lawyer
well admitting all that, l imagine
Squire Edward C-will have good
many doors to shut, if he makes much of
man.
What kind of dgbrs ? Do tell me,
US 81 F''; down minus and, | givsgoa.a.
list
In the first place, the door Of your ears
must be closed against the bad language
and evil counsel of the boys and young men
you will meet at school and college, or you
will be undone Let them once get pos
session of that door, and l would not give
much for Edward C-s future prospects.
'The door Of your eyes too must be shut
against bad books, idle novels, and low
wicked newspapers, or your studies will be
neglected, and you will grow up useless,
ignorant man. You will have to close
them sometimes against the fine things ex-
posed for sale in the store windows, or you
will never learn to lay up money, or have
any left to give away.
The door of your hps will need especial
care, for they guard-Sn unruly member,
which makes great use of the bad company
let in at the doors of the eyes and ears
That door is very apt to bIow open; and if
not constantly closed will constantly let out
angry, trifing or vulgar words. It will
backbite sometimes worse than march
wind, if it is left open too long. | would
aCvise you to keep it shut always till you
have something valuable to say.
The amer door Of your heart must be
well shut against temptation, for conscience
the doorkeeper, grows very Indifferent if
you disregard his call, and he sometimes
drops asleep at his post, and when you may
think you are doing very well, you are fast
going down to ruin.
lfyou carefully guard the outside doors
Of the eyes and ears and lips, you will keep
out many cold blasts of sin--which get in
before you think.
This shutting doors you see Eddy,
will be serious business; one on which
your well-being in this life, and the next,
depends NJ. E. W.
