Amusing.

A few miles below Poughkeepsie. N. y.
there now lives, and has lived for several
years past, worthy clergyman, man how
ever very short in stature. Upon certain
Sunday, about eight years ago, this clergy
man was invited by the pastor Of church
in that village, to fill his pulpit for the day.
The invitation was accepted, and Sunday
morning saw Mr.. - in the pulpit. Now
it so happened that the pulpit was a very
high one, and accordingly hid the poor little
clergyman from view. However, the con-
o. gregation out Of respect, managed TO keep
their countenanees, and with over pious Ia
ces, seemed religiously anxious for the text.
They were not obliged to wait long, for a
nose and two little eyes suddenly appeared
over the top of the pulpit, and squaking,
trcinulous voice proclaimed in Nasal tones
the text:
"Be Of good cheer II is be not afraid"
A general roar Of laughter followed the
announcement clergyman became con-
fused and turned all sorts OF colors. Many,
in the general uproar, left the church, and
it was long time before the minister was
enabled TO proceed with his sermon, so abb
ruptly broken of. a.,
Afternoon came, and the little man,stand.
ing on footstool, had fair view of his
audience. The text was announced in due
form: ..s:
"a little while ye shall SEQ me, and again
q little while and ye shall not see me- i,
In the course Of his sermon he repeated
his text with great earnestness, and stepping
back lost his elevated footing and disappear
ed from all his hearers. The effect may be
more readily imagined than described.

SimnlicitY of Elith.

All men are born with faith. Faith Is as
natural to man as grief or anger. One OF
the earliest flowers that spring up in the
soul-it smiles on a mother from its infants
cradle; and living on through the rudest
storms of life, il never dies ill the hour Of
death. On the face Of child that has been
left for little time among strangers, and
may be carressed with their kisses, and
courted with their Smiles. and iondled and
danded in their arms, have seen a cloud
gathering and growing darker, until 1t burst
in cries of terror, and showers Of tears
The mother returns and when the babe
holds out its little arms to her, see IN these
the arms Of faith; and when, like beliey-
er restored to the bosom Of his God, It Is
nesting in a mothers embrace, and the cloud
is dispersed from its brow, and its tears are
changed into smiles, and its terror into se-
renity, then we behold the principle Of faith
in play. This is one OF the earliest, and, rs
far as nature is concerned, one Of the most
beautiful developements. So natural, IN.
deed, is it for US to conclude, and trust, and
believe, that a child believes anything that
il is told, until experience shakes Its conn
dcnce in human veracity. Its eye is caught
by the beauty of some flower, or it gazes
with wonder upon the starry heavens; with
that inquisitve ness which IN childhood, ac-
tive as bee, is ever on the wing, 1t Is
curious to know who made them, and would
believe IL you said you made them yourself.
Such is the faith that nature gives It IN
father, that /, never doubts his word. 1t be-
lieycs all he says aud Is content to believe
where it is not able TO comprehend. For
this US well as other reasons, our Lord pre-.
sen,ed in a child the living model OF a
christian. He left Abraham, father OF the
faithful, TO his repose in heaven; he lett
Samuel to enjoy the undisturbed quiet rest
Of his grave he allowed Moses and Elias
after their brief visit, to return to the skies,
and wing their way back to glory. For a
pattern Of faith he took q boy from his
mothers side, and setting him up IN his
gentle, blushing, shrinking modesty, before
the great assembly, he said, whoever shall
not receive the kingdom Of God as child
shall in nowise enter therein.-Guihrie.

On the Selection of Seeds.

OF all the primary matters which require
the consideration Of the farmer, thefe l.
none SO little cared for, so little regarded, as
the selection Of seeds. We may plough
with the greatest skill, harrow with scrupu-
lous nicely; we may manure in accordance
with the most enlightened rules OF science,
and cultivate the finest lands and the best
prepared that the sun ever slione upon, with
the most thorough cultivation, still, u We
have not good seed TO put into II, our labor
will be all in vain, and our expectations OF
a crop will be vain also.
Il Is a matter of the greatest wonder that
this all.important matter is SO constantly
neglected even by good farmers. We have
seen men who have reputation for farm
ing, who really prepare their land in mag
nifcent manner, and supply II with lavish
expense with every requisite food Tor the
plants who, after all, would be as uncon-
cerned about their seed as though It were
of no consequence whether they Lot good
seed or not. The result has been either that
fields have failed altogether, or the variety
planted has been OF 70 inferior Character
Il might as well have failed for any profit II
brought to the cultivator.
The experience Of every year Is loud
speaking and emphatic lesson to every cul-
tiyator to have regard to the varieties he Sc
lects TO stock his fields with. A few extra
dollars for something Of unexcep,lonGbIe
character and purity is no account and
ought not to be grudged even for n moment.
II may be said by The careless farmer IN this
respect, "lt's no consequence about you'
varieties. Corn is corn, and barley barley !;
peas are peas, aud beets are beets." But
we say to him, "S,op, my good man, no,
quite so fast. Bceisteak Is beeisteak, bread
Is bread, and coffee is coffee but have you
never seen any difference in these articles
Have you no choice in your beeisteak
take, then, cut of round pretty near
down. It's q becfsteak. To be sure II Is
no, so Juicy or SO tender or so richly flavor
ed as the sirloin or rump, but il Is bccis,eak,
after all. The same difference may be OBJ
served in bread and coffee"
And what is true Of these articles is true
in the choice Of varieties Of tie same Kind
Of whatever description Of plant you may
name. What but this culpabIe carelessness
fills the market with such gnarly, worthless
vegetable les, such s,ringy turnips, such watery
sauashes and such soggy potatoes It's
no, all in the land. It Is IN the carelessness
and indifference Of the man who plants the
seed. The example which every man who
wuits upon the market has before him as To
the higher prices, reader sales and the
greater satisfaction derived from carrying
improved and superior varieties to market,
should be sufficient induccmcnt to be wa
~ in selecting the kinds to plant.
