FORGIVE QUICKLY.

"Many true heart, that would have como
back like dove to the ark, after its first
lransgression, has been frightened beyond
recall 10y the angry look and menacc-thc
tannt, the savage charity Of an unforgiving
spirit"
These are strong words, and many a rca-
der may think they do not touch him or
her, as one who has ever erred in refusing to
forgive pcnitent sinner. Perhaps not /;
and then again, perhaps you have.
Are you parent? Your child has bro
ken your commandment, incurred your
displcas:re, and has been living for svme
hours under your frown. Have you hailed
the first signs of sorrow, encouraged him to
como back and confess his fault, while your
own tears fell fast on bis head, those silent
witnesses Of your grief and willingness to
forgive? Or have you kept his rising sobs
Of contrition, that he might be altogether
broken down, before he comesa peniteut
at your feets
Arc you friend2 And when one whom
you have loved and trusted has grieyed aud
wounded you, do you surround yourself
with coat of mail, and even harden YOUR
heart against him, lest you should discover
to him the weakness of being anxious TO
forgive and forget. Oh, it is like man to
sin, "to forgive is divine"
Read that story of the prodigal son F;
tha: wondrous epitome Of the gospel that
inspired drama in which, tho sinner and the
Saviour are seen, and all the waye of mercy
towards the erring and the lost are painted
rs on canvass to the life. While lie was
4 great way of, the father saw him, and
bad compassion, and ran and fell on his
neck and kissed him. The father did not
wait till his son was at his feet in tile dust
before him. But while he was yet in tile
f.r distance, lie saw him, So God the
Saviour saw the returning sinner; the firs'
emotion Of struggling sorrow, he not only
saw. but be planted there! And w,tl, whaI

good to proffer forgiveness before there arc
signs vi repentance, that the offer may stir
The soul of the erling, and show him that
the way of return is open, and the iov OF
uninterrupted love.
Such spirit would shed a balm on the
household where discord often reigns. Pa
rents and children, husbands and wives,
orothers and sisters, neighbors, friends,
Christians the whole family of man, would
DC happier and better for remembering that
he who is swift to forgive is more like the
Saviour than he who never gives up.

A COURT SCENE

1ere is another Of those Western court
scenes which we read aLout.n ~ r.l.t..,
10y Jenny Nobs. 1t will do:
Judge B, of Missouri was, in MANY
respects, remarkable man. lie stood six
feet two inches in his boots, and was rs
fond OF frolic as the most rattlinn lad
IN the county. lie could drink more IL
4"or' lift" heavier bag o meal" and
play better game of "polser" than any
man IN his circuit. These admirable quail
iicatlons OF course rendered him the most
popular Judge on the bench Of his district
Yet he never lost his dignity while on his
bench. There, he was stern, naughty and
d'gnliled. Tho least approach to familiar
lty, while he was sitting in court, was al
ways resented by Il fine, and sometimes by
imprisonment. Well, it happened one day,
while ho was holding court, that Mr..
DewzonOury, rougl-looking but indepcn-
dent customer, came into the courtroom
with his hat OH his head. This the iudrc
considered an indignity offered TO the coart,
ant forthwith ordered Mr. ID. TO take off his
hat.
10 this, Mr.. Dewzenbury paid no attcn-
tion, which being observed by his honor.
he ordered the sheriff to stake the mans
hat off,
"Takc your hat on" cried the sheriff.
Mr.. Dewzcnbury remained motiunlcss,
While the Judge proceeded to business. At
last raising his eyes, his honor again dis
covered the incorrigible standing with his
hat upon his head.
"Shcriil :" cried tho Court, take that
mans hat off,
The Sheriff approached and repeated tho
command of the Court
"rm Lald," said Mr.. N, "and can't COM
ply"
lou cant! exclaimed the judge, wax
ing angry, " then fine you five dollars for
contempt Of Court"
"What's that you say, juLgc?" replied
MIR. d., as he walked deliberately up to the
judges stand.
{" fine you five dollars, sir, for contempt
Of Court"
"Nery WE'LL" said Mr.. d., as he carefully
put his hand into his pocket, and pulled out
4 fifty cent piece. ''Ncry well, here's the
money" handing the Judge the half dollar,
this squares lis, Judge. You owed mo four
dollars and halt when wo quit playing
poker last night, and this half makes us
cven."
The bar roarel, the crowd smiled, and
the Judge pocketed his "changc" without
uttering word.

THE HOLY WRITINGS.

Man has Il hand TO write, as well us a
tongue 10 speak; and God has employed the
pen of the ready writer, rs well MS the tongue
of the learned, to convey word in season 10
him that is weary. The Oldest look extant
is Il volume of divine truth which jehovah
dictated and Moses wrote. Joshua, captain
Of tile host of Israel, Samuel the Judge
David and Solomon the Lords anointct,
the prophets Of the Lord, and the apostles
Of Christ, composed religious tracts for the
benefit OF mankind. Providence has mer-
cifulIy preserved them to tho light, and the
consolation of every succeeding age; and
they are now the sun Of the moral world.
Where divine truth shines with its bright
beams from tho ark of the covenant, it is day
day as the light Of seven days. Where
these tracts arc not known, where trutl,
shines not, it is niglt-night like Egyptian
darkness, with all the horror of the shadow
of death. Nay, to do the greatest honor
TO this way of diffusing divine truth, God
himself becomes the author Of a sort Of reli-
gious tract; with his own hands he wrote
the Ten Commandments of tho law. What
high, what early authority can thus be
shown for aOriting, as well as speaking, the
great truths of God.
No language can fully describe the bene.
fits which have resulted from the writer,
communications which God has been pleased
to make 10 man. These inspired but Lrie
words have shed abroad the light of divine
truth through the world, from that time te
the present hour. David's short devotional
tracts especially, have enlightened, sanctifei
and consoled millions; and the works O.
evangelists and apostles have instructed
every generation since they were written
These holy inspired productions will con
tinue to be tue worlds great blessing, un

THE Uoiy Sepulchrc.-IIoweyer strong
Iy the reverence for sacred graves may
have been developed in the Jews Of later
times, the ancient Israelitcs never seem to
have entertained tho same feeling Of regard
for the rcsting-places or the remains ofthcir
illustrious dead, as was carried to SO high
Il pitch in the earlier Pagan and in the later
Christian world. "Let me bury my dead
out of my sight, "No man knoweth of his
sepulchre unto this day"-cxpress, if not the
general feeling Of the jewish nation, at least
the general spirit Of the Old Tcstamcnt.-
Every one knows the most signal instances in
which this indifference was maniicstcd.-
Somewhere, doubtless, near the walls of the
OLD Jerusalem, or buried under its ruins, is
the 'new sepulchre hewn in tie rock" where
" the body Of Jesus was laid" but the pre-
else spot, never Indicated by the Evangc-
lists, was probably unknown to the next
generation, and will, in all likelihood, re-
main matter Of doubt always. Tn this
respect, the controversy regarding the Holy
Sepulchre is an illustration of general fact
i'll sacled topography. Modern pilgrims
are troubled at the supposition that such a
locality should have been lost. The Israel
ties and the early Christians would have
been surprised if it had been preseryed.-

his attention attracted by horse shoe nailed

that it was nailed there for the purpose Of
keeping out spirits. lie enquired very
earnestly if there was any spirits about the
house, and was told that one was constantly
i'll the cellar. He expressed desire to sec
it, and receiving wink, one of the clerks
repaired to the cellar and wrapping him
self in q sheet, seated himself upon box.
The negro, provided with a good horse-whip,
repaired to tile cellar with one Of the clerks,
aud the spirit was pointed out to him. lie

THE WHISKY TRADE

In the Cincinnati Prices Current review.
tor the last commercial year, the following
particulars are given in relation to tho
whisky trade:
Tho increase i'll the manufacture, or dis
t'ilat'on of this article, in this city and
vicinity, has increased during the past wear
beyond all previous precedent and not
wl'hstanding this enormous increase, the
demand has been fully equal to the supply.
and prices have ruled higher during tho
year than was anticipated. The scarcity of
fore'gn liquors consequent upon the failure
OF the vintage in Southern Europe the last
three years, the high price of sugar the last
two years, greatly increasing the cost of
rum' and the large foreign demand which
has existed the last two years for American
spirits, chiefly from France, owing to the
decree issued by that government last year
prohibiting the dis.iation of grain, have
all contributed to this great increased de-
mand for whisky. This is by far the most
extensive market for this article Oh the
american continent, and the quantity of
Indian corn consumed in manufacturing it
tl'lS year, without noticing the rye and
s'''Pstnils also used, exceeds the average
annual expectations Of this article from the
United States to Europe, which is about all
that is exported to foreign countries during
the last nine years. The total expectations
OF corn from the United States to Great
britain and Ireland during that time, and
which constitutes nearly all exports 20 for
e'Sn countries, WAS 81 All ,27O bushels, and
10y dividing this by the number Of years
r'"e) we find the annual average cxporta-
ton to DO 5,27I.5S5 bushels. Nineteen
millions two hundred and sixty thousand
and forty-iive gallons. proof whisky, were
distilled in this city and vicinity during
The year ending August 81, 1856, con-

wintering Farm stock.-Horses.

Fint among the duties of the farmer may
be placed the care of his domestic animals.
He must DO often in the stable and stock
yard-horscs, cattle, sheep and swine look
to him for sustenance and shelter. y large
share of the summer is spent in preparations
for supplying their wants-in cultivatinS
and gathering stock Of food against the
inclement and unproductive winter. This
season is herc-now this supply must be
given out from day to day, and from hour
to hour, as their necessities require. They
must have shelter from the cold and storm
their health and thrift need constant looking
after, and constant labor at his hands. Va
rious considerations have already been urged
upon our readers, but the subject is one OF
wide scope and bearing, and not easily ex-
hausted.
The horse is one Of the most valuable ser
wants of the farmer. His health and CON-
fort, and consequent ability to labor, are
worthy of particular attention. Good sta
bles, warm, yet light and well ventilated, 90
far to promote this end. Proper care and
CLEANLINESS, and regularity in feeding, are
also necessary. Hay and oats are the best
and most readily available food for the
horse, and are mainly depended on for this
purpose. Other grains and fodder, also

AGRICULTURE IN THE PAST.

By Mr.. CuAs. l.. FLINT, Mass, Secretary
Of Agriculture, extracts from an address
given by him before the Hampshire Co. Ag.
Society.
First he gives sketch Of Greek farming,
then of Roman, and at last some accounts OF
Pilgrim and Indian modes Of culture.
The farm house stands well back from the
road, and we wind up an avenue Of silver
frs or other graceful trees and find a build
ing, large but by no means elegant or beau
tiful.
We are met at the door by plain, unos-
tentatiOus man, who, with true-hearted hos
pitality and manly pride, invites us to eS-
anime his house, his farm and his stock.
Entering the house and passing ON through
the hall, without stopping to examine the
bags of grain and boxes with which ii is
filed, we find our hostess engaged in spin
ming or carding, tending the children and
directing the servants. In the kitchen the
maid has her pets as well Us her mistress,
and likes to sec them under her eye, and the
ducks and geese are acing in spirited emu
lation on the door, while pet pig or two
adds variety and interest to the monotony
Of this department.
The fst object, that attracts our atten-
ton in the yard, is the hen coop. Here the
Greeks are at home. These barn door fowls
were originally imported from India and
Media, and for many years importations
were made from Italy, Sicily and Egypt
The coops are 50 constructed as to admit the
smoke from the kitchen, which was supposed
to be agreeable to hens.
On the other side of the yard are somc OF
the finest pigs the world ever saw. Ii is
doubtful, indeed, whether the Suholks them
selves equal the long and beautifully built
pigs Of Grecian history. Speaking Of their
value, we are told that neishboring king
lately paid no less than thousand dollars
for single imported hog. The Greeks were
more interested in the improvement Of stock,
than the farmers Of Massachusetts, are. Me-
rinoes were sometimes bought in Spain, at a
cost Of twelve hundred dollars apiece
Mules and oxen were commonly used for the
plow, the horse being too costly and used
mostly for the army and for pleasure.
Passing along the ternccd walk to the
fields, we notice the apple, the pear, the
cherry, the plum. the ounce, the apricot
the peach, the nectarine, and many kinds o.
nuts, as well Us figs, lemons, eitrons, date
palms, and almonds.
There is evidence, on every hand, Of q
high and perfect cultivation. Looking fol
the means by which it was brought about
we behold the awkward, old wooden plow,
50 constructed rs to require great physica
strength to keep it in the earth.
The Greeks usually plowcd three time
before planting; sometimes sub-soiled, anC
often mixed different kinds Of soil, Us snC
with clay. They composted with great skill
saving everything with the most scrupulou'
care. They adopted a biennial system o
rotation, Of fallow and grain, which is th'
system still pursued in many countries il
the South Of Europe. They also paid grca
