THE DIVINE WORD.

The reading of the sacred Soriptures is
spiritual meadow, and paradise of delights,
moreover, far superior to that paradise.
For cd has planted this paradise, not upon
Earth, but in the souls of believers. He has
not place this paradise in Bden, nor in the
Kast, combining it 10 one place but he has
expanded 1t everywhere upon the earth, and
he has extended it ts the bonds OF the
world. And that you may see that he has
difused the Scriptures everywhere through
out the habitable world, hear the Pprophet
saying, "Their sound Is gone forth u nio a
the earth, and their words to the end Of tn.
world" Whether you transport you rself
to the Indies, which the rising sun first re-
CARDS whether you go 10 the ocean, whether
you Navigate the Black Sea, or depart to the
Southern regions. you hear all, everywhere,
reasoning upon those things that are in the
Scriptures, with different voice, but with
the same faith, with diGereut tongue, but
with the same understanding for The sound
of the tongue differs, but the practice of re
ligien does not differ; and they speak in a
bcisterous tongue, but they are wise in un-
derstanding; they commit errors in the
sound, bnt they cultivate piety and man
ners. Do yon see the magnitude of the
paradise which extends to the end OF the
world. -ChrYsostom.

Dealers in fruit trees would do well to

| have heard talk Of the pleasures OF idle.
ness, yet 1t is my firm belief that no one
sver toek pleasure in it. heie idleness Is
the most disagrseabls state Of existence,
and both body and mind are continually
making efforts to escape from it. 1t has been
6 id that idleness is the parent OF mischief.
which is very true; but mischief itself is
merely an attempt to escape from the dresry
vacuum OF ideness. There are many tasks
and occupations which man is unwilling to
perform, bnt let no one think that he is
therefore in lovs with idleness : he turns TO
something which is more agreetblc to his in
clinatiop, and doubtless more suited to his
nature but hs Is not in love with idenfss. A
boy mey play the truant frsn school because
he dislikes books and study but, depend
upon it, he intends doing something the
while, to 60 e fishing, or perhaps TO take I
walk and who knows bat that from eaci
excursion both body and misd may derive
more benefit than from books and school
Many people go to sleep 10 escape FROM idle

Many practical Farmers seem to possess
perfect horror for all Looks or papers that
relate to tilling the soil. We doubt very
much whether any of them have sufficient
reasons to justify them for so doing, and as
the subject is one of no little importance, we
are inclined to give it a passing notice. Now
what is Book Faming2' viewing it in the
light in which it is generally used, but the
gathering up of the experience of sound
practical men; nothing more nor less
True there arc drcamcrs, enthusiasts and
theorists in Agriculture, as well as in every
other profession, but should the whole sys-
tenn be denounced OIL this account2 Ger
tainly not. Where is the profession that
has not its quacks, men of but little expert
encc and common sense? Why has our Phi
losophy become so pure and free from the
rubbish Of former times? Is it not because
good men and men of intelligence have gone
to work and taken from the mass of rubbish
and sophistry, that with which to build !,
sound PHILOSOPHY? And is this not wha
farmers should do? Instead of condemninl
all, should they not go to work and tax,
from the great snassSof Agricultural iitera
ture which we now have, that which i
good, and build thercfrom system base,
on common sense and the laws of nature
The field over which the successful firme
must pass is wide one, and in those vas
inexplored parts should he not bring witt
him all the charts that will be of service il
guiding him on in a sure courseY Does tn
faithful mariner, out of sight of land, la
aside his charts and compass, and leave hi
vessel to the mercy Of the winds and waves
or to blind chance, 10 guide him safely t
some safe harbor? No, he avails himself @
the discoveries of other men, and with hi
charts before him, is enabled to steer hi
bark with safety.
There are two extremes in one or tn
other of which many farmers, especially in
experienced ones, are apt to fail. Que
the attempt to endorse by practice all til
theories of spectators and dreamers th;,
can be found recorded in books; and Il,
other is, the perfect ignoring of all whetbe
good or bad. The truth is found betwee
the extremes and the prudent farmer vi
know where to search for it, and will recor
nize it when found There is better da
dawning however, and the farmer is prcinr
ing to call into use all that will avail him il
producing large crops, and adding fertility t
his soil Farmers will soon find uses 20
Chemistry, Botany, Geology and all the ma
tural sciences will be brought in to help a
