Ii you say you are the chief of sin
ners,' L answer that will be no hind
rance to your salvation. Indeed il will
not, if you lay hold OH Christ by faith.
Read the Iyangelists, and see how
kindly He behaved to his ,liciples, who
had fled from and denied him. Go,
tell my BRETHREN says he. He did not
say, Go, tell those traitors but, Go,
tell my brethren and Peter 1t is az
though he had said, Go, tell my breth-
rem in general, and Peter i'm particular,
that l am risen. OH, comfort his poor
dropping heart. Tell him am recon
so bitterly. For though with oaths and
curses he thrice denied me, yet have
died for his sins; have risen again for
his Justification: l freely forgive him
ALL Thus slow TO anger and of great
kindness, was our all-meIcifnl High
Priest. And do you think he has
changed his nature and fOrgets poor
sinners, now he is exaltes, to the right
hand of God? No; he is the same yes
terday, o-day, and for ever; and stitch
there only to make intercession for US.
q Come, then, We harlots; come. yeI
puhlicans; come, ye most abandoned
SINNERS, come and believe on Jesus
Christ. Though the whole world
despise you and cast you ont, yet he
will not d;sdain to take you up. o
amazing, . infinitely condescending
love! even you He will not be ashamed
TO call his brethren How will you es-
cape If you neglect such glorious oflei
of salvation? What would the damned
spirits now in the prison of hell give if
Christ was SO freely offered to them:
And why are we not lifting up our eyes
in tOrments? Does any one out of this
great multitude dare say he does not
deserve damnation? Why are we left,
and Others taken away by death :?
What is this but an instance of Gods
free grace and a sign of his goodwill
toward us? Let Gods goodness lead US
to repentance. o let there lie JOY in
heaven over some of You repenting!"

Peat In Iowa.

We have received specimens Of peat,
evidently of superior quality, from Mr..
A. Garner, Of Mason City, Cerro Gordo
Co., Iowa. Mr.. G.. writes us as follows
Enclosed you will find specimens Of
peat, both in its natural and prepared
state. These specimens were prepared
by Messrs. Emsly d. Munford, of this
place this firm will be prepared next
spring to manufacture peat ready for
fuel in any quantity wanted. The bed
from which this was taken contains
hundreds of thousands of tons, and
this county has tens of millions of tons
in fact, enough to furnish fuel for
countless ages to come.
"The greatest drawback to the set
Element OF this county has been the
want OF fuel; now that it is found, you
can tell your readers to come and help
us develop the rich resources Of this
healthy county, which is one of the
best counties in the State, with good liv-
ing water, abundance of water power,
rich and dry soil; and now we have the
fuel to warm our houses and drive our
locomotives.
'Some OF this peat has been sent to
the Paris Exposition by order of the
State Agricultural Society.

GEORGE sVEYiTEFiELD.

A short extract from the conclusion
of a sermon preached by Whitetield on
Remington Common may be interest
ing to some readers, and may serve 10
give some faint idea of the great
preachers style. 1t was u sermon on
the text, "What think We of Christ?r

larged towardsyou trust feel some
thing of that hidden but powerful
presence of Christ, whilst am Preach
ing you. Indeed it is sweet-it is ex-
ceedingly comfortable. All the harm |
wish you who without cause are my
enemies, is that you felt the like. Be
lieve me, though 1t would be hell to my
soul to return to a natural state again,
yet l would willingly change states
with you for little while, that YOU
might know what it is to have Christ
dwelling in your hearts by faith. Do
not turnyour backs. Do not let the
devil hurry you away. BE not afraid
Of convictions, Do not think worse of
the doctrine because preached without
the church walls. Our Lord, in the
days of his flesh, preached on a mount,
in a ship, and a field; and am per-
suadea many have felt his gracious
presence here. Indeed we speak what
we know. DO not therefore reject the
Kingdom OF God against yourselves.
BE SO wise as to receive our witness.
~ cannot, l will not let YOU 90.
Stay a little, and let us reason together.
However lightly you may esteem your
souls, l know our Lord has set an I'M
speakable value on them. He thought
them worthyof his most precious blood.
l beseech YOU, therefore, o sinners, be
We reeonciied to God. L hope YOU do
not fear being accepted in the Beloved.

cy, and hath sent forth his servants in.

you to come in.
Remember, then, that at such an
hour of such a day, in such a year; in
this place, You were all told what YOU
ought TO think concerning Jesus Christ.

blood Of you all. You cannot say [
have been preaching damnation to YOU.
You cannot say have like legal preach
ers, been requiring you TO make bricks

to make yourselves saints and then
come to God. l have offered you sal

believe, you say right; for faith, as well
as every other blessing. is the gift OF
God. But then wait upon God, and
who knows but he may have mercy on
thee.
"Why do we not entertain more low

on you?. Are you not sinners? Did
not Jesus Christ come into the world

TANNING REEs.--Tlie whole art of

lowing:
LIST. A honey bee filed with 4" liquid

cord.
I'd. Bees, when frightened, will gen.
orally fill themselves with honey, and
if given liquid sweets will invariably
accept them.
Bees may be frightened thus:
lst. BY blowing upon them the
smoke of spunk, tobacco, or cotton rags.
I'd. BY combining them to the hive,
and rapping the sides of it lightly with
small stick. At first, the bees will
try to get out, but finding that impossi.

SMOKING SEED CoRN.-An Indianian
says that hanging seed corn in smoke
house, and leaving it there, while the
meat is being smoked, will keep moles
and field mice from eating it afterit is
planted. "&
PAINTING RArs.-A Connecticut
man says his way of driving rats from
his premises is to catch one, dip it in
red paint, except the head, and let it go
again. He finds this plan effectual.
BUTTER MAKING.-Here are some
brief maxims: The best butter is pro-
duced from old cream; warm cream
can be churned much sooner than that
which is cold, but cold cream yields the
largest amount Of butter.
PURIFYING CIsTERN WATER.-A
pound or two of either caustic soda or Il
similar quantity of what is called con-
centrated lye, both of which may be
obtained ut the druggists, will purify
stagnant odorous water in cisterns.
MILK FOR A POUND OF BUTTER
The Agricultural REVIEW has been
keeping an accurate account with n
Jersey COW, and finds that l-3 quarts
of milk make a pound of butter, the
feed being English hay, stalks. and two
quarts of shorts per day.
THE TEA PLANT IN THE SOUTH
The cultivation OF the Chinese tea plant
appears 20 be on the increase in the
South. Some samples Eecentiy pre-
sented to the Southern Cultivator, are
said to precisely resemble III he article
of Chinese black tea in appearance, fra
GRANGE and flavor.
ONINos AND INSECTs.-The Scottish
Farmer in aliuding to the fact that
most insects have strong repugnance
to onions, suggests that wash of onion
juice, or OF water in which onions have
been bruised, might prove useful as a
wash for plants infested with insects.
CLEANLINESS or SwINE.-The Agri.
cultural Review has an article on rails
ing swine, in which cleanliness is urged
rs point of the greatest Importance
A rule is given that hog pen should
never be distinguished by its odor
twenty feet distant.
CUTTING TIMBER.-A Canadn
writer, after long experience, fluids that
timber cut in August is much more
durable for all purposes than when cut
ut any other season. White oak rosts
and black oak rails cut in the winter do
not last, on the average, more than ten
or twelve years, while some oak rails
made from timber cut in August, have
been in use forty years, and are yet
sound.

A LosIHo BUSINESS One Of the most
foolish things the American people are
guilty Of. is ths Wholesale stopping Of
leading newspapers. whenever they or
their editors perform or endorse some IN.
popular sct. For example. the New
York Tribune has frequently been sub
jected to this marx Of dispieasure. But
the fact is. the persons who do so are tho
only losers. When they subscribe for
the Tribune. they pay in advance. Per-
hsps. at the expiration of three or six
months. the paper commits some gross
errcr forthwith thousands Of Subscribers
order their papers discontinued. losing
the balance Of their subscription money.
which is clear gain to the publishers for

case. these same persons. by the begin
ming Of the next year. srgue to them
selves "Well. aside from q singular
freak now and then. the paper is nearly
always right. after all it is about the
best paper published. and l cannot do
without it. any way" So the subscrip-
tion is renewed bot the balance Of last
years subscription. and the reading of
the paper, have been lost to them.
