A Pleasant Church Incident.

A little three-year old was being baptised
recently at Presbyterian Church in Newark,
\. j., and after the sprinkling cf the water,
while the congregation were praying, drop OF
water that had Teen left upon the babes f1re-
head began to steal slowly down its face, a stray
ray of sunlight falling upon it the while from
a half-open shutter, aud causing it to glisten in
its progress like a brilliant of the richest hue.
Just as it was about to fall from baby's cheek
to the floor, the little one made an impulsive
effort as if to wipe it away and the falling drop
was caughtupon the back of her hard. Speak
ing " right out in meeting as the tiny hand
was stretched toward mama, she said, See,
mama, see dot'e baptise, an doin' to take
it 'ome to dolly" Even the devout pastor was
i'll able to suppress smile, and in the discourse
which followed, the incident was illustrated,
when he said-"our good deeds ever glisten in
the sunlight of the Fathers approval, and fall
ing like blessings upon our little ones, are by
them bequeathed to generations vet unborn

AGRICULTURAL.
Live Cattle weight by Measure.

The only instrument necessary IS measure
with feet and inch marks upon 1t. The girth
is the circumference Of the animal, Just behind
the shoulder blades. The length Is the distance
from the shoulder blades The superficial feet
are obtained by multiplying the eirth and
length. The following are the rules to ascer-
tain the weight Of the animal:
Ii less than one foot in girth, multiply super
fcial feet by eight
If less than three and more than one, multi
ply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three, multi
ply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than FIVE, null
tiply superficial feet by twenty-three.
Ii less than nine and more than seven, mu.-
tiply superficial feet by thirty-,hree.
If less than eleven and more than nine, null
tiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Example: Suppose the girth OF bullock
to be six feet three inches; length i've feet SIX
inches; the superficial area will then be thirty
four, and in accordance with the preceding ta-
bic, the weight viii be seven hundred aud
eighty-two pounds.
Example; Suppose pig to measure in girth
two feet, and length one foot nine inches
There would then be three-and-a-half feet,
which, multiplied by eleven, gives thirty-eight-
and-a-half pounds as the weight Of the animal
when dressed. In this way, the weight Of the
four quarters can be substantially ascertained
during life

Voltaire on Marriage.

The more married men you have, said Vol
tare, the fewer crimes there will be. Marriage
renders a man more virtuous and more wise
An unmarried man is but halfofa perfect being,
and it requires the other half to make things
right; and it cannot be expected that in this
imperfect state he can keep the straight path
of rectitude any more than boat with one oar
or bird with one wing can keep straight
course. In nine cases out of ten, where mar
ried men become drunkards, or where they
commit crimes against the peace of the COM
munity, the foundation of these acts was laid
while in single state, or where the wife is, as
is sometimes the case, an unsuitable match
Marriage changes the current of mans feel
ings, and gives him centre for his thoughts,
his affections, and his acts. Here is home
for the entire man, and the counsel, the affec-
tons, the example, and the interest of his bet
ter-half" keep him from erratic courses, and
from falling into thousand temptations to
which be would otherwise be exposed. There
fore, the friend to marriage is the friend to So
ciety and to his country.

A Slight Mistake.

A capital story is told cf yoGng fellow who
on one Sunday strclled into village church,
and during tie service was electrified and graft
fed by the sparkling Of pair of eyes which
were riveted upon his face. After the service
ne sa~ the posscssor Of the shining ofbs leave
the church alone, and emboldened by her CLAN
ces, he ventured to follow her, his heart aching
with rapture He saw her look behind, and
fancied she evinced some emotion at rccogni-
zing him. He then quickened his pace, and
she actually slackened hers, as if to let him
come up with her-but we will permit the
young gentleman to tell the rest in his own
way:

artless and warm heart is superior to the bond

clover Seed.

We believe, says the Rural Ne,c Yorker, that
a crop of clover seed taken from the laLd ex-
harsts the soil more than the crop which is Gus
for hay. Any seed crop, it is well known, ls
more exhaustive than mere fodder crop. Ono
strong reason for cutting timothy for hay early,
is to remove it from the soil before it has alb
stracted those elements which form the seed
1t impoverishes the soil much less than if cut
later. The first growth of clover is not gener-
ally disposed to seed much hence it is not so
exhaustive as other grasses if cut late. But the
second crop, which bears the seed, is injurious
to the land-at least the taking it away is
Unless remuneration is made to the soil It VIII
pay better to let the second growth o! clover
rot on the land, or feed it off.

Enemies.

Peopieof the finest and most sensitive organi-
cations areoftenest capable of the fiercest wrath
when fully reused by wrong. Thus, Instances
have been known where gentle and delicate
women have been transformed into demons; and
persons of nature slow to anger are most to be
dreaded when they are aroused. 1t is hard to
determine what human nature is capable OF
until circumstances bring forth qualities usually
dormant. Here is our clustering, bolsterous,
saucy fellow, our contemplate blackguard, our
ill-natured, snarling grumbler-we take them
all as they yappear-and yet, ten chances TO one,
tLey will act differently when under the influ-
ence of passion. Some will actually trcmble
with rage and yet not have the power, through
predominance of caution, to do any INJURY
Others will throw forth torrent of invective,
and then all is over while others will remain
silent, still harboring the rage and seeking, un-
der cover of darkness, to avenge wrong by a
silent though deadly blow years and years al
ter Mans most inveterate enemy Is his TEL
low-man. We cannot tell what may follow
even an unntentional wrong, and we know
not but that foes may be lurking around us
where we little dream Of their presence. he
who declares that he has not an enemy IN the
world, declares that which he knows nothing
of; for move as we will, we cannot please all,
and must of necessity make some foes. There
is more truth in the assertion that ne who has
no enemy is a fool, /" than many suppose.

AS ladies and the flowers are, by their beau

the discovery of process by which they can
be brought to bloom together the year round.
A most beautiful and easily attained show OF
evergrcens may be had by a very simple plan,
which has been found to work remarkably well
on a small scale. If geranium branches, taken
from luxuriant and healthy trees just before
the winter Gets In, be cut in slips and immersed
in soap water, they will, after dropping few
days, Shed their leaves, put forth fresh ones,
and continue in the finest vigor all winter. BY
placing number Of bottles thus filled in a
flower basket, with moss to conceal the bottles,
show of evergreen is easily secured for the
winter. All the different varieties of the plant
being used, the various shapes and color of the
leaves blend into beautiful effect. They re-
Guire no fresh water. So says lady who has

Fall PlOughing,

Strong stiff clays are always improved by
having them ploughcd deeply in the Fall of tho

throughout the winter, so as TO expose the

circumstances, however, should such soils be

sufficiently dry to crumbe before the plough,
