A FIRM BANK.

The following lines were written by t
celebrated Rowland Hill, more than a qu'
ter of century ago, at period of gre
distress in England, when t
noneyed institutions of that country seem
% be in q state of collapse, and univer;
bankruptcy threatened the nation.-N
York Christian Mtelligeacer, (Organ
he Dutch Reformed Hurch,) Oct. 20.
I have never failing bank,
4 more than golden store;
No earthly bank is half so rich;
How, then, can be poor?
'Tis when my stock is spent and gone,
And without groat,
I'm glad to hasten to my bank
To beg little note.
Sometimes my banker smiling says,
"Why don't you ottener come?
And when you draw a little note,
Why not larger sum?
Why live so niggardly and poor?
Your bank contains plenty;
Why come aud take one-pound note,
When you may have twenty"
Yes, twenty thousand, ten times told,
Is but trifing sum,
To what your Father hath laid up,
Secure in God His Son.
Since then, my Banker is so rich,
! have no cause to borrow;
live upon my cash to-day,
And draw on him to morrow.
I've been thousand times before,
And never was rejected;
Sometimes my banker gives me more
Than asked or expected.
Sometimes felt little proud,
That managed things so clever:
But, ah ! before the day was gone,
felt as poor as ever.
know my bank can never fail,
Its funds always the same;
The firm 'Three Persons in one God"
Jehovah is his name.
Should all the banks of Britain break.
The Bank of England smash,
Bring in your note to Zion's bank,
You'll surely get your cash.
And if you have but one small note,
Fear not to bring it in;
Come boldly to the Throne Of Grace,
The Banker is within.
All forged notes will be refused,
Mans merits will be rejected;
There's not single note will pass,
That God has not accepted.
There's none but those beloved Of God,
Redeemed by precious blood,
That ever had note to bring
These are the gifts of God.
Though thousands, doubling often say
They have no notes at all,
Because they feel the plague Of sin,
So ruined by the fall.
This bank is full Of precious notes,
All signed, and sealed, and free,
Though many a ransomed soul may say,
"There is not one for me-"
Base unbelief will lead the most
To say what is not true,
tell all souls who fear they're lost,
These notes belong to you.
The Leper had little nete,
"Lord, if you will, you cam
The Banker cashed this little note,
And healed the sickly man.
We read of one young man, indeed,
Whose riches did abound,
But in the Bankers book of grace
His name was never found.
But see the wretched dying thief
Hang by the Bankers side;
He cried ''Dear Lord remember me"
He got his cash and died"

FooD FOR FowLs.-Fowls are, of all birds
the most easy to feed. Every alimentary
substance agrees with them, even when burl-
ed in manure; nothing is lost to them; they
are seen the whole day long incessantly busted
in scratching, picking up a living.
In we'll fed fowls the difference vii be seen,
not only in the size and flesh of the fowls,
but in the goodness and weight of the egg;
two of which 60 fatherin domestic uses than
three from hens poorly fed or half starved
1t is customary to thow to the fowls IN
poultry-yard once or twice day, quantity
of grain, generally corn and somewhat less
than that which they would consume if they
had an abundance Fowls, however, are more
easily satisfied than might be supposed from
the greedy voracity which they exhibit when
they are fed from the hand. 1t is well known,
that, as a general rule, large animals con-
sumo more than small ones. There is as
much difference in the quantity of food con-
sumed by individual fowls as individual ami
mails.
1t has been found by careful experiments
that the sorts of foods most eagerly digested
by fowls are those of which they eat the
greatest quantity. They evidently become
soonest tired of, and are least partial to rye
1t has also been found that there is con-
siderable economy in feeding wheat, corn
and barely, we'll boiled, as the grain is thus
increased in bulk at least oue-fourth, and
the same bulk seems to satisfy them; but
there is no saving by boiling oats, buck
wheat or rye.-Americon Poulterer'& CON-
pon'oa.
1t is too much the practice to let fowls run
or fly every place, roosting at night where
they choose, and making their nests Wher-
ever it seemeth to them good. Up among
the rafters of the barn may often be found a
dozen or more biddies, marshalled by some
Youthful rooster. In the stable or cattle
sheds may be found few more Of the same
sort, and so on-if the stock is large-they
may be found in every place where there is
a perch. Now, this is not profitable They
are liable to the attacks of all kind of ver-
min, especially midnight providers, and such
"critters" can be less easily captured when
an alarm is given. When perched over or
among hay, grain or feed, of any kind, they
defle it, and reduce its value. Horses and
cattle will not relish food mixed with hen
manure, as we'll as that which is clean and
sweet. In such places, the chickens are al
so apt to pick up quantity of food never
designed for them, and two valuable to be
disposed of in this way. Again, you lose a
very large portion of the eggs at the same
time they are most valuable, and those you
do obtain are often spoiled by the frost, and
of course, almost, if not entirely lost.

Chinese Sugar Cane.

We were shown Friday a sample OF mo-
lasses made from the syrup of the Sugar
Cane, raised by f. l.. Moore, Of Mount
Joy. He states that be planted about
four thousand canes on a quarter of an
acre of ground, and from each cane be got
one half pint of syrup. Taking 10000
canes, on an acre, there would be 1000
gallons of syrup. From his experience, it
takes about eight gallons Of syrup to
make one gallon Of molasses5 therefore,
from one acre of cane, one hundred and
twenty five gallons of molasses can be
made. L. will easily be seen from the
above estimate, that it is far mrre remit
nerativt fr farmers to raise the cane aud
from it make molasses, than to raise corn
or wheat Besides, the stalks, after they
have been used, can be fed to the cattle,
which relish them much more than corn !;
besides these, are more nutritious. The
syrup shown US has a fine flavor aud is
equal to the best molasses. As this has
been the first attempt that Mr.. Moore has
made. it is not as clear as the best molas-
ses. Several farmers around Mr. Moore
have planted the cane with the same re-
suit aud some have been more successful
than be has-Lracaster Times

Eternity.

ETERNITY has no gray hairs ~ The
flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows
old and dies; the world lies down in the
scpulcher Of ages, but time writes no wrin-
kle on the brow Of eternity.
Eternity! stupeudous thought. The
everpresent, unborn, undecaying, aud un-
dying-the endless chain, comprising the
life of God-the golden thread, en,winiag
the destinies of the universe.
Earth has its beauties, but time shrouds
them for the grave its honors, are but the
sunshine of an hour; its palaces, are but
as the guided sepulcher its possessions,
are toys Of ehangiDg fortune; its pleasures,
are but bursting bubbles. Not so in the
untried bourne.
In the dwelling of the Almighty, can
come no footsteps Of decay. Its day will
know no darkenipg-eternal spleadors for
bid the approach Of night Its fountains
will never fail; they are fresh from the
eternal throne. Its glory will never wane,
for there is the ever present God. Its
harmonies will never cease; exhaustless
love supplies the song.

Mo,asses from Indian Corn.

George s. Kintzi, at Exeter township,
Berks county, called at the office of the
Reading Gazette day or two ago with
two samples of syrup, or molasses, one
made from the Corn, and the other from
Chinese Sugar Cane. The first was of the
color and consistence of the best molasses,
and had pleasant, sweet favor. Mr..
kantzi took eight corn stalks, cut of at
the root at the ear, crushed them in ci-
der mill, aud pressed the juice out With
his bands. A quart Of sap was thus OBJ
tanned, which, after boiling thirty min
utes, yielded one pint of beautiful syrup.
The Chinese Sugar Cane was subjected to
the same process, and yielded about the
same quantity Of syrup, but not so thick
nor Of so fue flavor as that made from
the Common Indian Corn. The success
of Mr.. Kintzi's experiment should induce
others to try it upon larger scale. 1t
would great thing if the corn stalks,
which the farmer has heretofore regar-
ded as Of little value, could be made To
yield, with so little trouble, molasses suf-
fcient to keep him in "sweet'nin' tie
year round.

To make Mo,asses and sugar
rnor cr,SrsK susAa eA>r.

The stalks should be passed through the
mill twice or more, until most or all of
the juice is expressed. The juice should
not be allowed to stand long after being
expressed, but boiled at once, if possible.
4 slow fire should be made under the ka'-
tle-which should be Of brass, or much
better Of cOpper-and the juice should not
be allowed to boil until the green scum
has all been tIken off Lime water may BE-
used to aid in clarifying and to neutralizs
the acid the exact quantity is not yet de-
termined, but to every FIVE gallons of juice,
say, from one to two tea-sPoonsful of pow
dered lime, OF the same dissolved in water,
and strained, before being put into the
juice When all the green scum has been
removed, the fire may be increased, and
the juice boiled down until nearly as thick
as common molasses in hot weather, when,
if intended for syrup, it should be removed
from the fire, for this completes the pro-
cess. If intended for sugar, it should DC
allowed to boil longer, and until it will
"string into threads" or present an appear
ance of being sufficiently boiled to grain,
when it should be thrown off into troughs,
or coolers, at once. l am not able TO give
exact information in regard to the time it
should be boiled to crystalize readily.
Further experiments will determine. If
made into sugar, it should be removed
from the coolers to casks with holes bored
in them, so that the molasses may drain
of aud leave the sugar dry, as it should be.
These casks are generally placed on tim
bers, with q cement cistern underneath to
hold the drippings, or molasses. After
remaining in the "Purgery" until saffi-
cicntly drained, it comes out fit for sale, OF
use.-James f. c. Hyde's Book.

A Singular Coincidence.

SIR: Your leader of last evening, on
Slavery in Kentucky, reminds me of one
incident connected with the adoption Of
the present State Constitution, which, l
believe, is not generally known, but pos
sesses no little historical interest. The
fact was communicated to me on q recent
visit to Kentucky, by q gentleman Of
high standing and influence.
1t will be remembered, that, in the Con-
vention which amended the original Con-
s:itution Of 1899, gradual emancipation
clause was lost by single vote. Gen.
Breckenridge, the grandfather of the Vice
President, was member of that Conven.
tion, and voted against the proposition.
The General represented Mr.. Clay's old
district, and was elected in opposition to
him by majority Of about .fcc votes.
by the Constitution under which that
election was held, free negroes, owning a
certain amount Of freehold property, were
allowed to vote. There we're, in one por-
tion of the district some seUen negro voters,
all Of whom cast their suffrage for Gen.
Breckinridge; and thus it may be said,
with truth, that the slaves Of Kentucky at
the present day owe their bondage to
their own people. For it is well known
that Mr.. Clay, who ran against Gen.
Breckinridge, was at that time an cman.
cipatiouist, and that the contest was con-
Quoted on this issue.
The fact may be placed alongside of the
recent course Of Rev. DR.. Ross, of Teune.
