WELL SAID.-Said an infdel lady once
to Lord Chesterfield, "The British ParIia-
ment consists of FIVE or six hundred of the
best Informed men in the kingdom. What,
then, can be the reason they tolerate such
an absurdity as the Christian religion?"

because they have not been able to snbsti-
tute anything better in its stead when they
can, do not doubt that, in their wisdom,
they will readily adopt it,"
Aud Lord Chesterfield, with all his soy
ings, never said better thing.

Origin OF OIL Springs,

The source of these vast supplies of oil

still sume points in their history which
remain obscure. We trace their origin to
the great forests Of antiquity, whose shrubs

their huge leaves, which we find in our coal
mines. Sugmerged and subjected to cer
tain strange agencies the vast rank forests

Gravity would force the fluid 10 seek the
lowest level it could 6nd, through every
crack and fssure, which accounts for its
being found not only below but often re
mote from the coal deposits. Under Other
circumstances the pressure of wafer from
beneath or the volatile nature of gas which
accompanies the 1il, forces, it up into he
highest attaina5le level, thus bringing il
into strata above The cOal me9sures-Or
the aoor of the coal beds. just how, OF
whep, or why, these wonderful transitions
took place may never be definitely known
for in the vast cruciblc beneath our feet,
fierce fires are always raging, such change

FARM HEDGES Honey LoCUsTs-We
have, among other varieties, suggested the
honey locust as plant worthy of pretty
general trial for farm hedge. 1t is a
strong gro wing plant, forming, in its nat
ural condition. tree Of good size, aud
therefore, will require severe pruning to
form a hedge Some have tried it and
fail I'd, perhaps from too close planting. 1t
requires considerable room, aud il grown as
close as the hawthorn or osago orange will
become clicked. DR., Warder recommends
it as the most promising hedge plant We
have; aud Wm. Reid, Ezabethtown, New
Jersey, who has many fue hedges, is salts
fed, after twenty five years trial, that il is
more easily kept and better adapted for
farm fence than any that has been used

other plant that we are acquainted with
