% y. J.. Willis, in his plsy Of .'Tvr'esa, ths
Usurer," makes one of the characters say
that sever since the food water has had ,

from German poet, whose lines we hav,
saen thus translated:
Then 10 the Lord old Noah said,
The water now tastes very bad,
lecause there have been drowned therein
All bersfs and mankind in their sin;
Tis therefore, Lord, even think,

One hour lost in the morning by laying

One hour gained BY rising early is worth

her neighbor dresses, and how little she can

One husband that is penurious or lazy and
deprives his family Of necessary comforts
such as their neighbors enjoy, is not as de-

some imperfect idea Of its spirit:
Shepherd Of tender youth!
Guiding, in love aud truth,
Through devious ways:'
CHRIS our triumphant king!
We come thy name to sing.
And here our children bring,
To shout thy praise.
Thou art our holy Lord
The all-subduing word,
Healer Of strife!
Thou ddst myself abuse,
That from sins deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race,
And give Us life!
Thou art wisdom's high priest.
Thou hast pre- pared the feast
OI holy love;
And in our mortal pain,
None calls on thee in vain,
Help thou dosi not dsdain,
Help from above.
Ever be thou our guide,
Our shepherd and our pride,
Our staff and song.
Jesus! thou Christ of God.
by the perennial word,
Lead us where thou has trod,
Make our faith strong.
So now, and ill we die,
Sound we thy praises high,
And jOyiul sing.
Iniants. and the glad throng,
Who to thy Church belong,
Unite and swell the song
To Christ our king.

GcLD.-A Cubic inch OF gold is worth one
hundred and forty six dollars; a cubic foot
two hundred and fiIty-two thousand two hum
dred and eighty eight dollars; cubic yard
six millions eight hundred and eleven thou
sand seven hundred and seventy-six dollars.
The quantity gold now in existence is es-
timated 70 be three thousand millions Of
dollars. which, welded into one mass, could
be contained in q cube Of twenty three feet,
The relative value Of gold TO silver, in
The days Of the patriarch Abraham, was one
TO eight; At the period Of b. G. 1000. 1t was
one TO twelve; B. G. 500, il was one TO
twelve; B. G. 800, il was one thirteen; st
the commencem Of the Christian Era il
was one to nine; A. ID. 500, il was one to
eighteen; A. D. HOO, il was one to eight;
A. ID. l400, il was one to eleven; A. ID. 1913.
il was one 10 thirteen; A. ID. 100, il was
one TO fifteen and half; which latter
ratio. with but slight variation, il has
maintained TO the present day. Various
speculations have recently been made re-
specting the effect Of the large relative in
crease in the production Of gold over silver.
and the subject is one Of great interest and
Importance. The theories Of the writer's
who have expressed opinions on the subject
are widely different, so far as the effects Of
the increase upon the precious metals are
concerned. All agree, however, upon the
wide spread benefits that have resulted from
the large increase Of the production Of gold
during the past ten years. !.

A Word in Season is Enough for the
Wise


In this chilly inelement season of the year,
= when winter comes brushing down upon US, when
man and beast are shiyerng in the wind, and
each passer by is heard to cry go, bless my
heart, how cold it ISL the farmer of economy
and forethought is no doubt prepared to make
the best of it. It is fit and proper that all our
buildings be tight and snug as lady's china clos
ct. A farmer may have ventilation sufficient
for his cattle and his fodder, without practising
that slovenely habit we see in some, who would,
forsooth be reckoned as patterns of good hus-
bandry Loose boards and shingles, broken
hinges and swinging doors upon our barns, do
not indicate anything very favorable of the oc-
cupant Tools scattered here and there, win
dow glass broken, and cattle astray, are unpleas-
ant sights to one that prides himself upon good
husbandry. Argus was said to have had all hum
dred eyes and only two of them were asleep at
the same time. What an excellent farmer he
might have been to keep ever on the lookout
and see that every thing was as it should be-
But every farmer can be Argus enough to see
to his own affairs if he viii only bestir himself -
Attention let not this word be military tech
nical altogether; it stands at the head Of the
husbandman's vocabulary andi important sig
niication is well understood to every diGgent,
active, and persevering agriculturist

Much has been written upon the use of lime
for agricultural purposes, and it is generally con-
coded that to certain extent, it is beneficial
upon most Soils but of more value upon some
than upon others. Its application has not been
sufhclently well understood to enable farmers to
adopt, with certainty of success any given
quantity, as the amount used differs widely in
different localities.
Lime may be applied in three different WAYS ;
directly to the land, or Indirectly as portion of
the compost heap, and in other forms with pa
nure 1t may be applied as a carbonate Of lime
by breaking or grinding the stone or strewine It
plentifuly over the field. In this form its value
is prolonged for years. its action being that of a
mild caleareous earth. 1t is by the debrs Of
limestone rocks, by the action of frost, and from
other causes that our best calcareous soils ara
formed. Asa gradual improver of the soil, the
limestone is found to be of more value than when
used in the form of quick lime
