a QUAKER WoMAN's SERMoN.-My Dear
Friends There are three things l very much
wonder at. The first is, that children should
be so foolish hs to throw up stones, clubs, and
brickbats into fruit trees, to knock down fruit
if they would let it alone, it would fall itself.
The second is. that men should be so foolish,
and even so wicked. as to go TO war and kill
each other if let alone, they whould die them-
selves. And the third and the last thing
which | wonder at is, that young men should
be so unwise as to go after the young women
if they would stay at home. the young wolnen
would CONF after them

lists, the connecting link between animal and
vegetable life, has been found in the interior Of
Africa, in the form Of a serpent with a flower

attracted by the smell of the juice. enter into
the flower, where they are caught by the adhe

into chyle, The indigestible portion, such as
the head and wings, are thrown out by aspira.

GRE EN- SAND MARL
OF NEW JERSEY.

NHE New Jersey Fertilizer Company is now
l. prepared to receive orders for this important
manure. For all lands upon which ashes are ben
eficial, the Mari is more than substitute.
Prof. Cook in his Annual Report to the Legis-
lature of New Jersey says: "The value of these
Mars is best in the rich and highly cultivat-
ed district which has been improved almost made,
by their use but it may be interesting to exam
inc the of their great value in Agriculture,
and to compare them with other fertilizers. For
example: The potash alone may be taken at an
average of five per cent of the whole weight ofthe
Mari, bushel when dry weighing eighty pounds,
and in the proportion mentioned would contain
four pounds of potash; this is nearly much as
there is in tushel of unleachea svood askes.' And
again-it is probable that the great value Of the
Mari is be found in the fact that ii contains
ly all the substances necessary to make up the ash
of our common cultivated plants.
Price, delivered on board vessel at the wharves
of the Company at Portland Heights on Rari:an
Bay, New Jersey, seven cents per bushel. For
further particulars, see Circular, sent free OF pos
tage. Orders for other fertilizers will receive
prompt attention. Address either of the under
