Wanted To be Dipped.

At the close Of very interesting service
in the winter of 1851, large, honest-look-
ing woman came up to the writer Of this par
agraph, and with great feeling broke forth
into a strain of earnest desire that she might
at the very first opportunity be permitted
to join the church. Upon inquiry we soon
saw evidence of renewed nature and a
warm Christian impulse "Ah," said she,
my husband was dipped yeai ago, and
have all along felt it my duty to 60 with
him. am Methodist, but want to be
Baptist We questioned her as to her
motives, and felt quite pleased with her
spirit. One Of my deacons said to her,
''You feel then that it is your duty to be
baptized?' mo, not bit of it." was the
quick reply, 81 have been troubled enough
about that already, ! want now to be dip

That's all right" responded the deacon,
"you want to be immersed that's what we
believe in" "No!no !" replied the poor
woman, with something of sadness
and disappointment in her CO lntenance,
II don't want that. am poor ignorant
woman, and all can do is to follow Jesus,
and as he was dipped want to be have
been christened and have never bcen

that won't b. put off with baptism, nor

That's tho roason ,shy don't want to be

FARM IMPRovEMENr.-In seeking to in
crease the fertility Of the farms, two
things" says the Genesce Furmer, must
be borne in mind. One is, that the growth
of some crops impovcriShes the soil more
than others and secondly that some crops
make richer manure than others. Thus, a
crop Of red clover docs not impoverish the
soil as much as crop of timothy grass,
while ton of clover hay will make manure
worth half as much again as that made
from ton of timothy hay. The same is
true of peas and beans. The manure from
a given weight of these is worth double
what it is from oats, barley, rye, CT Indian
corn" .., .,.n .....s .. ..
