A good old man, few days since, was
speaking of his conversation with sksptic,
who was bringing up various arguments to
prove that religion was all a delusion. The
old man was unlearned, and could not con-
flute him by reasoning; but be used the
simple logic Of a true Christian heart, and
there was no gainsaying it.
81 have tried, said the old man, ''to
serve my God for 6fty years, and have
found sweet enjoyment in his service. 1t
has been sure support and comfort in ev-
cry trouble aud every sorrow. Now, if it
is all delusion. what have iosr?''
The man had 10 answer for him. Well
he knew that his boosted reasoning would
never afford a solace to the heart when the
storms beat and the foods rose sound it.
':Bat If religion is true.' continued the
old man, ''what have you lOst?''
Add well might be ask that question, and
we'll would it be for that scoffeF, if he would
ponder it deeply. He had lost his immor-
tai soul, if he perished in his unbelief.

while we ourselves continue to talk, grum-
bic, loaf, and brag about what We used
10 do.'' sra .a.H s..-s -i-o.-.
The stubborn truth of the matter is this,
that Southern men and women and their
children, have got TO go to work, if they
may reasonably expect to repair their shat

waste. . s.

of the land you wish to measure, and multi
ply one number by the other, and divide By
I6O, and you will have the number of acres,
as I6O square rods make an acre.
If you wish to lay off one square acre,
measure I3 rods on one side, by is3 on the
other, this gives two and half rods over q
full acre; or 124 rods square will give the
same quantity. Two and half rods over an

Sowing Grasses.


A correspondent Of an agricultural ex-
change says: s.-a F t~- .at
GA notion prevails among large class of
farmers that it is essential that grass seed
should be sown with some kind of grain
crop, that the young plants may have some
kind of protection while in their tender
stage of growth. But from experience and
observation / am satisfied that it is not at
all essential, or even desirable, where grass
and hay are the first object f.....
Grass seed sown on well pref ared ground,
in September, viii make an excellent stand
and growth for the next seasons cutting;
also when sown 10 early spring good crop
may be realized at the usual season of bar-
vesting. Fall sowing on soils that do not
heave by the frost is preferable 10 spring as
the ground is generally clean of weeds. aud
the grass starting into growth takes pos
session of the soil, while the seed of weeds,
if any start to vegetate, are ehoked down
and die. On clayey or heavy soils that are
stiff, which cannot be we'll worked thus
early, and all these advantages are not as
readily enjoyed, and a spring seeding is best
generally on such soils. Where it is i'm
practicable to put the seed in March or ear
ly in April. it is advisable to peed down
with some kind of grain, sown thin, so as
not to choke ont the grass, or by rank
growth of straw be. liable to fall down and
smother it. A variety of from Two to Eve
sorts should be sown. aud by no means a
thin seeding. The variety of sorts should
be made up Of kinds that come to maturity
as near alike as possible and known to sue
ceed in the vicinity where designed to be
grown, and in similar soil
Glover is always more sure when sown
in spring than at other seasons. and for this
reason is sown with other seed, with grain;
or on fall stocked ground, when there is a
light fall of snow Ia March. ,aE-.sa -Ea
A liberal seeding will generally give a
| stand that will exclude weeds, etc., and be-
/ ing thick, the stems will grow finer and
more tender, and be much more readily
eaten by all kinds Of stock; whereas thin
stand Of rank growth gives 3 coarse woody
stem aud coarse foliage, and the whole oi
such coarse quality that is not readily eat
en-, or if eaten, is less nutritious and of in
ferior value. The thick seeding forms q
sward sooner, and gives more adequate
protection TO the roots to spread before
obtaining q fall crop, full one is cut the
frst season, the aftermath gives a very
respectable crop. and of much greater val
