Rules for a Minister.

: ~ d ' =
RULE 1. It becomes a minister's duty at all
times to be serious and praycrful.
2. His conversation should be s,rch as he
would expect from St. Paul or St. John
3. A minister should not feel that his work
is accomplished when he has preached to a
congregation; but he should warn each man
privately with the same zeal that0hc displayed
in the pulpita
4. Watch your brethren of like profession,
or they will jest and talk the Spirit of Christ
entirely out of your hcart.-a dangerous enc
my your friend will prove, III
5. Do not be satisfied with merely saying
your prayers, but wrcstle with God in secret,
and Hc will manifest Himsolf to you in pub
lie.
6.yExa ,eyourself at tho close Of each day,
and ask W rsclf if you have been as earnest in
scrvinglGod>a you have been to procure tenn
poral blessings. Z
7.@sAt the close of every Sabbath examine
and ascertain whether you have warned your
brethren faithfully.
Suspend half an hour every morning in Sc
crct prayer and meditation.
g.. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it
holy, When you visit on Sunday, or call to
take dinner, instead of looking at gardens and
talking of crops, be bent in your mind to leave
blessing, and do not leave until you have
prayed with the family.

DEATH AT TIE BREAKFAST TABLE
Robert Bruce, celebrated Scotch minister,
sat at his break kfast-tablc one morning Hay
ing eaten n boiled egg, he turned to his daugh-
ter and said:
II think I am yet hungry; you may bring
me another egg"
He then grew thoughtful moment, and
m,lsing n little, added:
"Hold, daughter, hold! my Master callcth
mc!s
Here his sight failed him; but calling for a
Bible, he requested his daughter to place his
finger on Romans 8: 2s, 80. This being done
he repeated the verse, dwelling especially on,
~ am persuaded that neither life nor death
shall be able to separate me from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus my Lord" lie
then said:
"God bc with you, my children. have
breakfasted with you, and shall sup with my
Lord Jesus Christ this night"
These were his last words, for without n
shver or n groan, he at once started on his
flight to everlasting glory.

Pine Straw.
[Good Ne,cs.

- 1 - ~
Pine Straw as Mulch is good. Asa disin-
tegrating medium for very stiff soils ilhpcrnle-
able to air,,it can be beneficial, but only for
that purpose. The: leaf loft the. pinci is .con1
posed Of slicatc,. or sand mixed with a base of
vegetable fibre and resin. The outer coating
of the leaf is insolubc as is also the inner part
hence it prevents the soil from absorbing it.
The ashes from Pine Straw submitted to ANA
lysis, give less potash as result than the ashes
of any. othor Vegetable the, proportions being
O.45sm1 ,OO0~parts Wheat straw, after the
grain is formed, gives 800 of potash in i 900
parts, and before the heads of grain yields
4.70Iipartsli Corn stalks contain .175 parts.
Cow. pea vines from 200 to .25O.m 1000 parts.
Potato vines contain also large quantities of
fpotash. Potash being one of the main consti-
tuents Of the plants VIC most raise, It is evident
that soil dcicientin it cannot-b be productive.
and Pine Straw will not give it what is re-
quircd rs it cannot be absorbed by plants. In
the analysis of soils of different countries it is
shown that rcsinol,s matter is contained in
somo sterile soils, and in such the rust attacks
wheat, rye or oats. ~ -4's: ~ = tG -.
20 In some portions OF Bel clgium, where pine
woods abound, and where the inhabitants arc
conceded to be the best agrcuturalsts in Che
world and MS carcful.of producing and saving
nianurcs asthe Chinese, no tillcr Of. tic soil,
| however short of raw materials to bed his COW
or pig, will allow any Pine Straw to be used
for that purpose that article is only used as
fuel by the poorer classes !; they well know that
rust would be the result if used i'll manurcs
One of our tenants covered part of Il field
with Pine Straw. and for several years after
wards could not raise either wheat or clover on
it, Notwithstanding heavy ,nanuring afterwards
Five years ngo, planted potatoes, and gave
them a heavy mulching of Pine Straw, the
ground being we'll manurcd previous to,putting
in.tho potatoes. Next year the field was plant
ed i'll corn and that portion previously muchcd
produced stalks two feet smaller than the other
portions which had, however, never been ma
nurcd. The second year the field was sown i'll
oats, and the difference was very easy to detect
the portions mulchcd produced less than half
the other portions unmulched. ..
Thc same results were observable in the
vegetable gardens The gardener often com
planned Of being unable to r',isc several kinds
of vegetables upon grounds where manure
made with Pine Straw was used when using
manure made with oak leaves and straw the
result was a fine crop OF vegetables.

{ High Manllring.

A correspondent Of the Germantown Idc-
groph, in urging high manuring says: "I can
point TO farmers, who, i'll addition to all the barn
using from orc thousand to fifteen hundred
pounds Of bone dust per acre; and to one, in
particular, who, in addition TO liberal coat of
barnyard manure, (such rs would have satisfied
most of us) gave his wheat crop top dressing
Of twclrc hnnared .ond serem.y.frc po'pds of
homemade sapc7phosphote pcs' acre.
''Somc of his old fashioned ncighbors shake
their heads, say lit won't pay cant stand it
long &c, &c, but he has been carrying on in
the same place for several years, and can raise
crops which surprise those who know what was
taken of the lalll before he come into possession
of it; and yet he says he does not think he has
reached the amount whichwill give the best in
tercst for the amount invested"
Will not some of our planters make the cx-
pertinent Upon a few acres? 1t is as clear MS
daylight, that the money invested in manure
not only rcpays i'll the increase Of crops, but it
also adds to the intrinsic value of the land. 1t
is an investment that is never exhausted Let
any planter try the experiment of making one
acre in the middle of the field yield double the
average Of the balance Of the field, and if he
cultivatcs that field for forty years without
manure, the same acre will, at tho end OF that
time maintain its capacity of yielding double
