Setting Fence Posts.

l will give my experience in setting fence
posts In wet clay land, liable to heave with
the frost: In the first place dig the holes
about two feet deep, then make hole with
a bar, sharpen the post where you COM
menced to taper the point, bore a two-inch
augur hole, and put iD heart cedar pin so
as to project about six inches each side of
the post, which will last as long as the
post. Then drive the post with beetle
the depth of the point, which will be foot
OF. l8 inches, making the whole depth from
) to 81 feet. Then place large stone on
the pin on each side of the post. Then ram
the earth firmly above as the hole is filled
Then plow two or three furrows on each
side of the fence, and bank it up about six
inches; that will carry the water off, which
Is necessary to prevent heaging. Where
this banking is done, horses and cattle are
not SO apt totrouble the fence. This fence
can be built without much extra labor. I
adopted this plan two years ago, and can
assure you it will never heave

Tho Two PRAYERS.

We heard of two men who on Thanks
giving Day went up to the temple to pray.
The first prayed about as follows:
"Lord, / thank Thee that am well to
do In the world, and respectable member
of society; that am also loyal man, and
a member of the Union League. l thank
Thee for Thy bounty, and for the contracts
which have from the Government; that
give to the poor and to the churches, and
have contributed $500 to the Sanitary Fair.
thank Thee that am not as other men
even as yon Copperhead, who, too poor to
buy q substitute, must be dragged of to the
wars. Command in Thy rich mercy, that
this war may go on, until the last dollar is
spent among the contractors; and may l
be the last man called upon to do any mill
tary service. Amen"
The other man, who Is "Copperhead,"
also prayed; and, not so much as lifting his
eyes towards Heaven, but shifting on his
breast, said:
"God save my nativeland! God be mer-
ciful to me sinnerl"
This one Is said to have gone down from
the temple justified rather than the other.
