(SayS the CH/2Stt0D dge)
Dp6blished as a conversation that occurred
at St. Helena, with Gen Bertrand It is
a remarkable statement of reasons for be-.
lieving Christ divine; and though the opin-
ion of man of the world, however eminent,
can add nothing to the glory Of the Savioura
it is yet interesting to know how person
of Napoleon's sagacity, and '.who knew
men" would look upon Christ. Even as
moral phenomenon, Bonaparte could not but
exclaim, s'here see nothing human"
The conversation at ST. Helena very fire.
quently turned upon the subject of religion.
One day Napoleon was speaking of +, the
Divinity of Christ, when Cen Bert&nd
said:
..I cannot conceive, Sire, how great
man like you can believe that the Supreme
Being ever exhibited himself to men under
human form, with a body, face, mouth,
and eyes. Let Jesus be whatever you
please--the highest Intelligence, the purest
heart, the most profound legislator, and, in
all respects, the most singular being who
has ever existed, grant it. Still he was
simply man, who taught his disciples, and
deluded credulous people, as did Grpheus,
Confucius, and Prahma. jesus caused
himself to be adored, because his rredeces-
sors, Isis and Osiris, Jupiter and Juno, had
proudly made themselves objects of worship
The ascendancyof Jesus over his time, was
like the ascendancy of the gods and heroes
Of fable. If Jesus. has impassioned and at
tached to his chariot the multitude-if he
has revolutionized the world-I see in that
only the power Of genius, and the action Of
commanding spirit, which vanquishes the
world, as so many conquerors have done
Alexander. Caesar, you, Sire, Mahomet,
with sword"
Napoleon replied:
Il know men, and [ tell you that Jesus
Christ is not a man. Superficial minds see
resemblance between Christ and the foun-
der Of empires, and the gods of other reli
gions. The resemblance does not exist
There is between Christianity and whatever
other religion the distance of infnity. We
can say to the authors OF every other reli-
gion, You are neither Gods nor the agents
of the Deity. You are but missionaries of
falsehood, moulded from the same clay with
the rest of mortals. You are made with all
the passions and vices inseparable from them
Your temples and your priests proclaim
your origin. Such will be Judgment, the
cry of conscience, of whoever examines the
gods and the temples of Paganism.

crates, Pythagoras, Plato, Anaxagorar, nor

Gospel; not only -Bossuet and Fenelon, who
were preachers; but 'Descartes and Newton,

whileit is fresh, or scarm, as the phrase is and
it is certainly easier to spread it equally when
i'm a light, pulverized state, than after it gets
much wet with rains. am inclined to think,
too, it is better for the land whom applied fresh
from the kiln.
Query 4.-"To what crop is it most advan-
tageously applied, and at what season y. gat
Aaswer.-It is usually applied, as already
intimatcd, to the crop of Indian corn, in the
spring of the year-say the month. Of April
Occasionally it is applied preparatory to sowing
wheat in autumn. When used as u top dress
ing, on the sod, it is generally applied in the
fall-say November. The prevailing impress
sion is, that it is most adyantageously applied
to the Indian corn crop; and hence the general
practice. But the truth is, it is highly >adyan-
tageous at any, and at all seasons and our
shrewd old farmers have asaying-"Get your
lime on for your. corn, if you'can,- be sure
to get it on the land sometime in the year"
Query 5.-"How is it incorporated with the
soil-by the plough or~the harrow ? and is
applied in any case as q top dressing to grass
and to grains, and with what effect ?"
Ans,cer.-As already stated, after the sod is
ploughed down for Indian corn, it IS usually
rowed once to render the surface more uniform
The lime is spread as equally as possible over
tne Heil, anu tneu Lne STOuuu Is Wcll LdTIONcu
in different directions, in order to incorporate
the lime with the soil. Soon afterwards the
| field is marked out and planted with corn. The
plough is rarely ever used for the purpose allud-
ed to. 1 have mentioned above, that lime is
occasionally used as top dressing for grass. IT
appears to be particularly beneficial to that crop;
and answers extremely well when applied in
that manner. The practice of applying It to
Indian corn as. above stated is, however, chiefly
followed; and the applicatioreof a dressing to
each field, in rotation causes as much labor apd
expense every year. as our farmers generally are
willing. to incur. Lime has rarely been used as
a top dressing to grain crops within my know
ledge
/ Query 6.-"What is the ordinary cost per acre
Of lining, and the relative profits, in increased
products of period of years?"
Ansaoer.-Quicklime, atthe kilns, usually cost
twelve and a half cents per bushel. The farm
ers generally haul it with their own teams and
the additional expense depends, of course, ma
teraly upon the distance. 1t is frequently
hauled by them distance of eight, ten, and even
twelve miles. The average, perhaps is about
five or six miles. 1t is delivered to me by the
lime burners Ia distance of near six miles, at
eighteen cents bushel ,At the rate Of 40 lush.

THE SOLITARY GRAVE.

THE SOLITARY GRAVE.
Far down yon deep and narrow glen,
Where now the willow spreads her shade,
A simple tomb stone marks the spot
Meath which his noble form is laid
Along the vale beside The stream,
With him I've passed full many a day,
When life was like an angels dream,
And every step was light and gay. >.
That time is past, those joys alas
Have withered like the pearls of morn,
To flourish in brighter sphere,
To decorate JchoTah's throne
His weary spirit tired of etth,
Aspired some loftier path to tread
Fen now his painting SOULS above,
Though here he moulders with the dead.
Engraved upon the marble slab
A small inscription meets the eye,
To tell the pcnsive wanderer
!. Of him who Il mbcrs silent nigh.
EpITA2u.
Here upon the still Lethean shore,
Released from every care ,and pain,
Repose one whose heart no more
Shall pant for earthly fame again.
No brighter mind, no nober heart
En- mouldered in the silent tomb !!
Yet here the fairest form shall rest
The grave is earth's unfaiGng doom.
Poor Wanderer on the stormy deep,
He struggles hard thro' time and care,
- persisted meath the storms that sweep
koss the raving billows there.
Mat blooms upon the plain
too and fade away.

The Sufferer.

During the Revolutionary war; when drafts
were made from the militia to recruit the con-
tinental army, certain captain gave liberty to
the men who were drafted from his company to
make their objections, if they had any, against
going into service accordingly one of them who
had an impeachment i'll his speech came forward
and made his bow.
'What is your objection ?" said the Captain.
Il ca-ca-can't CO. answered the man, "be-
cause | st-st-stuttcr.
"Stutter" said the captain, ''you don't 60
there to talk but to fight"
Aye, but they'll p-p-p-put me on g-gg guard

.'0h that is no objection, for they will place
a sentry with you, he can challenge, and you
can fire."
"Well BIB but | may be taken and run thro

This last plea prevailed and the captain laugh
ing heartily dismissed him.

cit is not so with Christ. Everything
in him astonishcs me. Between him and

One can absolutely find nowhere, but in him
