Is Sin "a Little Thing!

Turn to the cross of Calvary, to
that august and awful spectacle on
which angels, suspending their sons,
are gazing in silent wonder. BY that
bloody tree, under the frowning sky,
the earth trembling beneath our feet
and the sun darkened above our heads,
does sin seem light, little thing i?
In Gods word to Ezekiel, while
pointing to that cross, / ask; "Hast
thou seen this, D son of man? Is it
a light thing to the house of Judah,
that they commit the denominations
which they commit here ?
We read that when the Lord de-
scended on Mount Sinai, "there were
thunders and lightning, and thick
cloud upon the mount, and the voice
OF the trumpet exceedingly loud, so
that all the people that were in camp
trembled," But when Jesus came,
all was.ioveliness and peace. A beau
tiful star shone forth to show the
place where the Saviour Of the world
was lying, a little babe. When the
law was given it was said, "Charge
the people"-keep them at distance
-''lest they break through unto the
Lord to gaze, and many of them
perish" But wtsa Jesus appeared,
the star invited inen to come near.

A Great farmers Muxims.

We have already made notice OF
a discourse by Rev. l.. nj. Glover,
ID. D., Jacksonville, Illinois, on the
death of Mr.. Jacob Straun, who was
spoken Of as the "Great American
Farmer" and who died in jackson
vile, Illinois, in August last. His
biographer has recorded many excel.
lent characteristics OF this distin
guished farmer, who has met with
great success in all his business op
erations, which is attributable chiefly
to the following maxims, which We
copy for the benefit of those farmers
who are somewhat tardy in perform
ing the operations of the farm:
When you wake up do not roll
over, but roll out. 1t will give you
time to ditch all your sloughs, break
them up, harrow them, and SOW them
with timothy and red clover. One
bushel of clover to two bushels tim
othy is enough.
Make your fence high, tight and
strong, SO that it will keep the cattle
and pigs out. If you have brush,
make your lots secure, and keep your
hogs from the cattle, forif the corn
is clean they will cat it better than if
it is not.
Be sure to get your hands TO bed
by seven o'clock; they will rise early
by the force of circumstances.
Pay hand, if he is poor hand,
all You promise him; if he is good
hand, pay him little more; it will
encourage him to do still better.
Always feed your hands as well as
you do yourself, for the laboring men
are the bone and sinew of the world
and ought to be well treated.
am satisfied that getting up early,
industry, and regular habits, are the
best medicines ever published for the
head.
When it comes rainy, bad weather,
so that you cannot work out OF doors,
cut and split your wood, make your
tracks, fixing your fence, or gate
that is off its hinges, or weather
boarding your barn where the wind
has blown Off the siding, or patching
the roof Of your house OF barn.
Study your interests closely, and
don't spend too much time in elect,
ing Presidents, Senators, and other
small officers, or talk of hard times
when spending your time in town,
whiting on store boxes, etc.
Tuke your time and make your
calculations; don't do things in II hur-
ry, but do them at the right time,
and keep your mind rs well as your
body employed. Country Gentleman.
