OLD DEACON SANFORD.

Old Deacon Sanford, or as he was
Familiarity called, Deacon 10, was a rigid
disciplinarian, and being the senior church
deacon looked after the ~delinquenis with
a sharp eye. Deacon 10 was in the habit
of "parceling out the sermon, giving TO
each n ofthe congregation their portion
according as they needed.
One warm Sabbath afternoon, the pas
tor thinking that those who had no interest
in the subject of religion, would most
likely fall asleep prepared himself to
preach directly to the church.
The Deacon was on hand to "parcel
out the sermon as fast as it came from
the lips ofthe minister. The pastor CON-
menced with his closefsted, penurious
brethren, plainly but earnestly.
"Thai belongs TO brother Grant," said
the Deacon. The next remark was de-
sigued for those who went about doing
good; but made so much noise and parade
about it as 10 destroy a great part of the
good they intended to do.
"That is Sister G~rimpkins," said Dea-
con 10, 'no installing that"
The pastor continued his sermon, bul
the deacon, who had worked through the
week, fell into a dosing slumber. Never.
theless, although the body ofIhe deacon
was sleeping, the mind was active, and
whether the ears performed their functions
or not, each portion was as faithfully par.
celied out as though the deacon had been
wide awake.
"Finally, my brethern," concluded the
Parson ''there is a class of persons who
listen attentively TO every sermon, but
who are so free-hearted and benevolent
that they do not retain any for themselves,
but parcel it out among their brethern
and sisters"
"Thunderl that's me-" said Deacon 10,
the sound of his voice ~awaking him, "and
I deserve IT,"
Whether the ceacon continued the
practice of "parceiling out the sermon"
afterwards, We know not, but we presume
if he did, he kept a small portion for him.

ERRORS IN COMPOSING MANURE.


The farmers manure heap is usually
the receptacle for every su substance that has
served its original purpose; but il is a mis-
taken idea that every thing thrown in
there viii serve a useful purpose. We
may, however, just say that this error has
considerably influenced farm practice.
Belief in the alchemy rather than the
chemistry1of the farm yard, has led per-
sons TO cart soil into the manure yard and
carry it back again with dung to the very
field from whence it was taken; adding
materially to the bulk and expense of
manuring. Inexperienced that they ad-
ded to IFS value. But the effect upon the
farm yard manure would be merely 10
retard decomposition, and thus might be
a loss or gain according 10 circumstances
of soil and crop.
Animal substances, offal, and fish of
every description, are also Improbable
when applied TO farm yard manure. The
natural tendency of animal substances TO
entei into the p~utrafaction fermentation is
well known to be greater than that OF
vegetable substances. BY placing them
in the heap, we in a further de-
gree facilitate the quality in which they
naturally excel, one of the tendencies of
which is to rob them of their most valu-
able elements, nitrogen. Judicious prac-
tee should avoid this error, by adopting,
if possible, a system having an opposite
effect.
Lime is one of the substances which il
is also an error 10 use with compost in
which we have farm yard manure. 1t is
equally an error to mix lime with any
compound rich ammonia. The tendency
of lime in all compost, is to promote de-
composition and to waste nitrogen; which
escapes, by union with nitrogen, under the
form Of ammonia, which is the very trea-
