Baptist Statistics of 1858.

The New York Examiner says that there
are in the United States five hundred and
ninety Baptist associations, twelve thousand
one hundred and sixty three churches, seven
thousand FIVE hundred and ninety ordained
ministers, one thousand and thirty-ffye licen-
tiates, nine hundred and ninety-two thousand
eight hundred and fifty-one communicates,
and that the number baptised in 1858 was
ninety eight thousand five hundred and eight
nearly one hundred thousand baptisms, and
q little less than million of members These
are figures for which entire accuracy cannot
be claimed, but they may be accepted as the
closest practicable approximation to accuracy,
and as more likely to be too low than too
high. The largest number of Baptists repor-
ted from any one State is Virginia-one hun
dred and fifteen thousand one hundred and
forty-six. The largest number baptized in
any one State is New York-ten thousand
eight hundred and two, and next largest, Geor-
gia-seven thousand nine hundred and forty
four. There are thirty-three colleges, fourteen
theological seminaries, twenty-nine weekly
newspapers, sixteen monthlies, and two quar-
terlies, in the United States that depend on
Baptists for support; sixty -four new church
edifces were erected in 1858; two hundred
and thirty eight new churches were constitu-
ted, and three hundred and four ministers or
dained

A Cheese Story.

One night in autumn, two travellers, whose
homes were among the green hills of Yer.
mont, stopped at small country tavern il
New Hampshire. During the evening one o
them got to talking with farmer of the placG
upon farming matters generally and the rela
tive agricultural advantages of Vermont and
New Hampshire particularly. The farmer
as might be supposed, maintained the super
iority of his own state, New Hampshire and
to prove it, told how much butter and cheese
his wife had made that season. Not so much
to show the excellent laboring capacity of his
wife, he added, by way of explanation, did he
make this statement, as to prove how much
greater in quantity and better in quality was
the milk of COWS fed ON New Hampshire grass
than that of those that grazed elsewhere.
@Well," said the traveller, that's nothing
to what they do in Vermont Why one man
up there made thirty tons of cheese last sum-
mer, and he was small farmer too"
81 guess you have set that little high, u
said the farmer, unwilling to concede that there
was better farmer in Vermont than himself
Didn't Jim Maynard make 30 tons Of cheese
last summer Tom ?' asked the traveller of his
companion.
II don't know how much he made" replied
the other with gravity, but remember that
he run tt0o sa,o-milLs Nth the 0heyr'
The farmer @cayed, " and acknowledged that
such farming as that couldn't be excelled.

More About British India Cotton.

/ A recently published Patent Office Report
contains letter from Mr.. Eli, late United
States Consul to Bombay, in which he gives q
history OF the cotton culture in Western In
dia- The cotton plant in India is annual, the
dry season invariably killing the roots, ex-
cept in such marshy grounds as retain mois-
ture during the eight months of drought
The American cotton require much more mois-
ture than the indigenous varieties, and can
therefore be planted only on low, marshy
grounds, or where irrigation can be employed.
1t is cultivated to greater advantage than the
others, when the planter has sufficient capital
to sustain the occasional loss of whole crop.
The indigenous cotton is seldom much iniur
ed by an unfavorable season, and though less
remunerative in its yield, is always planted
by the native growers on that account 1t
has been cultivated and manufactured ever
since our first knowledge of the country
The American plant was first introduced about
the year 1850, since which time, the East In
dia government has employed several exper-
fenced American planters for the purpose of
establishing it as a staple in preference to the
native varieties. The American cotton had
slightly deteriorated in the length of its fibre,
but not otherwise, since its Introduction
The amount of cotton produced in the dis
trict under the late Bombay government, or
in those under native rule and contiguous to
Bombay, is about two hundred and fifty mil
lions of pounds annually, and this may be
called the annual product of Western India
Bombay is the only port from which the cot
ton is exported to foreign countries-and in
five years the exports increased from one
hundred and ninety-fve millions to two hum
dred and eighteen millions of pounds -most
ofwhich goes te England About sixty-five
millions Of pounds of cotton are woven into
textile fabrics by the natives. Cotton can be
sold on the plantations 'good fair" at four
cents, and in Bombay for six. Cotton is pro-
duced by the natives exclusively, and in the
most primitive manner The ground is pre-
pared during the dry season by digging up and
burning the old roots and, as soon as the
rains set in, it is plowed, and the seeds sown
by means of drill pillow, in rows eighteen
inches apart, and covered by board or log,
dragged behind. The young plants appear in
about six days, and nothing more is required
than an occasional wedding and thinning. A
strict rotation with the other crops is obser-
we'd, except when cotton is in demand The
ashes of decaying stems and roots, which are
burned on the ground during the dry season,
are the only manure used. The seeds are
planted after the first fall of rain in June-the
plants flower from the middle of July to
early in August, and the cotton is picked from
the pods the following March One hundred
and five pounds of cleaned and gipned cotton
is the average product per acre, and cotton
lands rent ct two dollars per acre annually,
for soil of sound medium quality.

THE SABBATH.

Sidney Smith pronounced the following
sonnet, one of the most beautiful in the Eng
hsh language:
With silent awe hail the sacred morn,
Which slowly wakes while al the fields are still
A soothing calm on every breeze Is borne,
A grsyer murmur gurgies from the rill
And echo answer softer from the hill,
And softer sings the linnet from the thorn
The sky lark MARBLES in q tone less shrill,
HALL light serene hail sacred Sabbath morn
The rocks float silent by in airy droyes;
The sun placid yellow luster shows;
The gales that lately sighed along the groves
Have hushed their downy wings IN sweet reposei
The lowering rack Of clouds forgets to move;
So smiled the day when the first morn arose.
