At the late session of the Baltimore Metho-
dist Conference, the Rev. Henry Smith stated
that sixty-one years had passed since his en-
trance upon the itinerancy, in 1874. AT that
time the number Of Methodist ministers in the
United States did not exceed the roll of the
present conference and he thought the num-
Der of Church members now in the Baltimore
Conference was equal to the entire member
ship in the country at the time he entered
upon the work.

CHARCOAL AS 4 FERrILIzER.--For two years
past have used some fifty loads each season
of refuse charcoal, and being fully convinced
that it pays, l wish TO recommend ii to my
brother farmers. have tried it on grass, corn
and potatoes-have tried IL alone, and in the
compost heap, and in all situations it has
proved faithful to its trust. AS top dressing
for grass, it gives green color and luxuriant
growth. Applied to half an acre of carly po-
tatoes the last summer, the yield was 75 bush
els of as fine healthy potatoes as could be de-
sired, that sold readily for one dollar per
busheI, and yielded the best profit Of anything
raised on the farm.
The virtue of charcoal mainly consists in
its absorbing power. The purity Of the air
around charcoal pit has long been known,
and the coliiers, notwithstanding their smutty
appearance, are robust men. The secret of
this purity of the air and the health of the col
liers, lies in the fact that charcoal absorbs
from the air the ammonia and other noxious
gases, unsuited for our lungs, but just the food
for plants. Every good housckeepcr knows
that if her boiling meat gives forth an unsa-
vory odor, piece OF fresh charcoal put into
the pot will not only sweetcn the air, but will
remedy the faint of the meat. In the same
manner it acts when applied to the land. 1t
absorbs from the air those gases offensive to
our nostrils, but the main food of plants
And this it will do, not once only, or for one
season, but very possibly for Century. Where
an old coal-pit has been burnt, the land never
seems to wear out, and the first settlers point
to the coal bottoms that are fifty years old,
still by their exuberant vegetation marking
well the spot where the wood was converted
into coal. A fertilizer so lasting is well worth
some expense at the outset. But where can
We get it, some may ask. If any charcoal pits
are burned in your vicinity, the bottoms will
furnish three or four loads each of refuse char
coal, mingled with burnt soil. The latter is
highly valued also as an absorbent. Around
furnaces and blacksmith shops, the waste char
coal also accurnulatcs, and in many instances
may be had for the carting. 1t may be found
also around engine houses, thrown out from
locomotives. If mono Of these resources arc
at hand then use the best substitute possible
which is muck, or swamp mud, and double the
manure heap by composing, and if the crops
are not doubled, tIreH nay eSperience is vain

MADCAP BoYs.-To be born, to be feeble
infant, is an ordeal through which all must
pass. To be boy, is an absolute pre-requi-
site to nanhood-and boys will be boys, let old
and wise people say what they will. They will
feel, and think, and act like boys. They will
skate on the ice, ride down hill, be frivolous
and jolly. play all sorts of antics, do great
many things which, to the sobriety of age,
look like folly. But what of that Who would
clothe boyhood with the dignity, invest it with
the gravity, or endow it with the wisdom of the
finished man To do so would be to rob life
of its brightness and glory to take away its
spring time-to plunder it of its iowers-to
silence the voice of gladness-to still the mu-
sic of its singing birds, and to Danish its love-
lieSt sunshine.
