ing. His text was, He that is without sin
let him cast the first stone" Last Sabbath
as ] stepped into the House of God, l heard
some one say that he had no fellowship for
rebel in Church or State, coupling a pro-
fame word with the term, My blood was
chilled IN my veins and the above text
rushed into my mind like pealing claps OF
thunder 1t was my lot to preach that day;
so determined to use the text TO the best
advantage God being my helper. | read a
chapter, sang hymn, and prayed. arose
from my knees, went out and procured a
stone of some four pounds weight. Coming
back, took my stand with stone in hand.
All lleyes were fixed on me. Some appeared
to be frightened; others laid their hands on
their reyolvers preparing for battle, as
though death or victory" was their motto.
| read aloud, He that is without sin let
him cast the first stone, and raised the rock
to the top of my head, The people began
to look frightened; but examined myself
by the golden rule, then weighed myself in
the balance, and found that was wanting,
and boldly exclaimed, II am sinner and a
rebel against my God and King; cannot
throw this stone; | ask pardon of my God,
and acknowledge my allegiance to God in
the presence of all the people" l then
offered the stone to every man in the house
but, to my astonishment, they all fell on
their'knees; and, in sobs and tears, one solid
petition went up to God for pardon, to the
great King of kings and Lord of lords. o,
how my soul rejoiceth in the Lord.

that he could not leave the Genesee river, as

How TO GROW SWEET PoTAToEs---A
North Carolina sweet potatoe grower an
swers the question, ''What is the matter
with sweet potatoesS" as follows-"Having
had much experience in raising that yaua.
Bile esculert, l will give it as my opinion
that the two principal causes of failure are,
deep tillage and the kind of manures used
Land for sweet potatoes should not be cul-
tivated to very great depth, especially In
Northern latitudes, as the soil ceases to be
conductor OF heat TO the depth to which it is
broken Hence, as they require ak the heat
that can be given them, the ground should
be broken but little way below the sur
lace, but kept stirred often while growing.
Much depends on the kind of manure used.
The potatoe takes potash largely into its
composition; therefore manures containing
1t are most suitable. Wood ashes may be
considered about the best manure generally
at hand. However, the best of all manures
that have ever tried. is the dirt and clean
ings from under houses, consisting largely
OF saltpetre. Ashes mixed with barnyard
manure subserve good purpose. 1t is not
an unusual thing to hear 1t said that certain
pieces of land are too rich for potatoes es-
pecially barnyards; but should you give the
same heavy coating of ashes, you will find
that 1t is not too rich 1t is merely too rich
in vegetable matter, but lacks the potash
Potatoes should always be planted in hills -
Nor DEEP ENOUGH FOR PRAYER--A
good story is told of two raftmen, who were
caught in the late big blow on the Missis-
sippi, by which so many crafts were swamp
ed, and SO many steamboats, lost their sky
riggings. The raft was just emerging from
Lake Pepin as the squall came In an in
slant il was pitching and writhing as if sud
denly dropped into Charybdis, while the
waves broke over her with tremendous up
roar, and, expecting instant destruction, one
of the raftsmen dropped on his knees and
commenced praying with a Vim equal to the
emergency. Happening to open his eyes an
instant he observed his companion, not en-
gagged in prayer, but pushing a pole in the
water at the side of the raft.
What's that yer doing, Mixer" said he.
"Get down on yer knees now, for there isn't
minute between us and purgatory"
BE aisy, Pat, said the other, as he coolly
continued to punch with his pole; be aisy,
now what's the use of prayin' when a feller
can tech bottom with pole?n
Mike is pretty good specimen of a large
class of Christians, who preferto omit prayer
as long as they can ''teeh bottom ~
