When to Sell Produce.

When to sell grain and other produce
is serious question with farmers
Whether it is the best to sell now OF
''hold over;' whether wheat will be
worth more next June than it is now
whether wool should be sold soon after il
is shorn, or kept in anticipation of higher
prices, are questions that have puzzled
the brains of many who read this. A
correspondent of the Farmers Chronicle
expresses positive opinion, as follows
1.-The better way for all farmers is,
sell when you are ready. Not once, nor
twice; nor one year, and another; but
make it rule. Trust not TO your i'm
pulses; avoid being influenced by your
feeling. This feeling is often grasping
is not healthy is not to be encouraged.
"Many years of observation has con-
WINGED us that this is the right course.
Save your interest, and the waste caused
by the mice and vermin; save your grain
from losses by fire and accidents. Be
contented, as you will be, if the respon-
sibility is off your mind. You will lose (;
but you will gain also. Your neighbor
may triumph over you one y ar or two;
but your time is coming; and, on the
whole, you are the gamer. This is ex
perience; this the truth in selling grain 1;
it is the clean, satisfactory thing"

Poisoned Beer.

Here is the opinion of the London Sci
entifc Review on beer as furnished to the
London market Beer drinkers would
do we'll to notice and take warning:
about five hundred persons die annual
ly of delirium tremens in England alone,
while much larger number are attacked
by the disease. Our most distinguished
medical writer's agree that about one
third of the insanity in Great Britain
may, with certainty, be ascribed to drink
ing, and we all know that the children
of Grunkards are very frequently idiotic.
Quite recently, out of three hundred
idiots at Massachusetts, one hundred and
forty-fve, or nearly half, were found to
be the children of habitual drunkards
All these terrible effects are of course
heightened considerably by the habitual
use of poisoned beverages. In theory
every kind of beer can be produced BY
use of malt and hops alone; no other
ingredients are required when the pro-
cess of brewing is conducted by honest
and clever men. But in reality what an
endless list of injurious compounds have
we not detected in the various beers, por-
tiers, and aloes recently submitted to our
Investigations cream of tartar, alum,
green vitriol, small quantities of copper,
sometimes lead, picric acid, cocculus in
deus, grains of paradise, coloring mat
tiers Of various descriptions, quassia- wood,
and other cheaper and more hurtful Bit
tiers, together with the harmless, but still
needless compounds, liquorice, molasses,
coriander, capsicum, caraway-seeds, gin
ger, salt, matted horsebeanes, etc. To
this list, already far too long, we might
still add the names of three plants, Ledum
palustre, Myrica gale, Datara stramoni-
um, occasionally used to adulterate beer
both at home and abroad"

Why Fowls Cannot be Kept in Large
Numbers.

1t is pretty generally conceded that no one
is successful who attempts to keep together
large number of fowls, and that those who
keep the smallest number together generally
obtain the greatest proportional number of
eggs. And this is, we think, not only true,
but easily to be accounted for.
Every one who has kept fowls knows that
they arc very uncleanlv birds. They even
,oosh themselves in the dirt, and that evidently
not Tor the purpose of cleanliness, but to rid
themselves of vermin. They prefer clean,
light sand, because il in the sun it is generally
warmer, and it is easily moved but they seem
equally to enjoy any soft, dry earth, although
it may not be very sweet and clean. They are
VIGOROUSLY filthy in their coops, roosting under
each other taking no pains to avoid the drop
pings, soiling their food, water and nests with
their droppings, and doing no. act apparently
towards cleanliness This is more apparent in
the houses where they are confined, and where
the air should be as pure as possible. LII they
are at large and few in number, they move
around so much that they cannot sour the
ground. They are by nature clean, but by
habit the reverse, and the only way to keep
them in the natural state is to give them range
enough, so that they cannot soil their haunts,
or else cleanse their haunts carefully and faith
fully every day.
We once kept one solitary hen on our place
for several months She was Of the common
barn yard breed We never saw healthier
fowl, or one whose feathers kept so fresh and
perfect, and she was a constant layer Nc
care was taken of her, and we always attributed
her thrift to the fact that she had the whole
range of our place for exercise and her quar-
tiers were perfectly clean.
As soon as your flock becomes large you viii
find them crowding together, and always sour
ing their haunts, if there are sufficient mum
Der of them to do it. You may do something
towards preventing this, but you cannot keep
very large Aocks very clean.
, We have often seen it stated that not more
than fifty hens should be kept in hen house
twenty feet by ten. Except with constant care
! and cleaning, that number cannot do very vel
in smaller space. Close up such house
some cold night, when you have neglected
cleaning it for few days, and go in from the
i fresh air in the morning, and you will be sur
prised at the impurity Of the air therein. -
| Drive the flock out into the open air and you
will see what change it produces in them
| and how lively they will become in few min
utes.
The size of the flock must always depend
upon the extent of the accommodations, and
even then the large focks cannot be kept SC
clearly and healthy as the small ones, and
therefore are not in proportion so profitable.

Progress of the Excavations at Jerusalem.

A correspondent Of the New York
Times writes from Jerusalem:
The discoveries made hitherto may be
summed up briefly. The south wall of
the sacred area, Haram Ell Shereer, with
in which stood the temple, has been ex-
plored to the very foundations. 1t is
found that in one place the wall was no
less than one hundred and eighty feet
high. At the lowest point Of the wall
which is now determined to be also the
lowest point of the Tyrop@on Valley,
he discovered small passage which he
explored for some one hundred and fifty
feet, of very ancient construction, and
evidently intended to carry off supertiu-
Gus water. Previous TO this discovery 1t
had been supposed that the lowest point
was the southwest angle of the wall where
was the great arch known as Robinson S
Arch. Visitors to Jerusalem will re-
member the spring of the old arch at
this point. They will be gratifed to
learn that all the conjectures with refer
ence to what formerly stood there have
been abundantly verified. Not only was
there a splendid arch crossing the Tyro-
p@on valley the span of which was forty
feet across. and the voussoiers and ruins
of which now lie buried in the debris, }
but beneath this old arch, covered over
with a pavement built presumably to
cover these ruins, lie the stones of an
arch older still, perhaps the arch built
by Solomon himself The complete III
vestigation of the arch has been a long
and costly undertaking, but its impor-
lance is very great.
On the east side of the Haram wall
lies the valley of the Kedron. Lieuten-
ant Warren, by series of shafts and
springs, has ascertained that the present
bed of the stream is no less than forty
feet higher than the old bed-the bed
having been raised by the enormous
masses of debris and ruins that have
been hurled over into the valley. By
the last letter from Jerusalem we received
plan of the system of chambers dis
covered at Wilson's Arch" higher up
on the western wall, near the "Walling
Place" of the Jews. Lieutenant Warren
mas discovered at depth of some fifty
feet below the surface of the ground a
vast system of chambers and passages.
These chambers, whose use has not yet
been decided, are mostly about twelve
feet square, vaulted and filled up with
rubbish or with water. About eighteen
have been opened, of which it is conjec-
tured that two or three are of Saracenic
origin and the rest of Jewish. They
branch off right and left along great
passage. This has been followed up for
distance of $50 feet, its destination
being yet uncertain, and its use profile
NAUTICAL. Perhaps, however, it was Sc
cret passage for troops. The discovery
is intensely interesting, and may lead
to singular and most important results

A LONG JOURNEY TO CHURCHILL
Swedish Lapland one single parish is
often as large as some Kingdoms. That
of Gallivare, for instance, contains 352
square miles. Many of the inhabitants
live at such distance from their church
that they are obliged to start on the
Thursday to attend divine service on the
Sunday, Thus the complete Liturgy is
only celebrated once a month. The con-
gregation is then always most numerous.
On these occasions the affairs of the
world are also brought under considera-
ton, arrangement are made, purchases
are concluded; in fact, species of fair
is held.

pected to shine, Sunday after Sunday,
the year round. The other mornings
must be given, with conscientious fdeli-
ty, to the sermon or sermons. No book,
however fascinating; no recreations, by
whomsoever proposed: no parochial du-
ties other than the most imperative, must
interfere with the task thus imposed.
By the adoption of these suggestions,
the dreaded sermon can be finished by
Saturday noon, and Sunday can be, in
some measure, even to the preacher, the
day of rest which the Creator intended.

THE PoPE's MANIFESTO, lately come
to hand, inviting various bodies outside
the pale of the Romish Church to take
part in the proposed Ecumenical Council
to be held at Rome next year, has been
damaged in its translation into English,
or otherwise is very vague and indefi-
mite affair 1t amounts to nothing more
than presumptuous appeal to all non
Catholic communities to embrace the
coming excellent opportunity to become
members of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Rev. DR.. White, Presbyterian
minister, of Islington church, Liverpool,
however, has written letter to the Pope,
declining his invitation to Protestants ''to
return to the Roman Catholic Church, !"
in connection with the proposed General
Council, on the ground that he cannot
do so constantly with his subscription to
the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Like lady, however, the reverend doc
tor; concentrates all the pith of his letter
into the postscript, which runs as follows:
Il sincerely congratulate your Holiness
on the improved tone of your communi-
cation. Might 1 venture to suggest that
you would carry out the assumed spirit
little further, so as to grant to all the
inhabitants of Rome liberty to worship
God according to the dictates of their
conscience; and also to exert your great
influence to obtain the release of those
who are pining in Spanish and other
dungeons in Roman Catholic countries
for reading the Word of God?"-N y

An Interesting Incident.

The following interesting incident is
communicated by the Rev. Allen Wright,
native Choctaw preacher, who it will
be remembered was at the meeting of the
General Assembly in Augusta, in 1861,
and who made most happy impression
at the Missionary meeting. Our Juve-
nile readers will be particularly interest
ed in the incident which he relates Tile

THANK OFFERING.--Dr. James Wood
roa0: At the close of the last morning
service, during recent meeting, two lit
tie girls-Fanny and Daisy, seven and
FIVE years old respectively-lingered be-
hind near the pulpit while others were
leaving the house, apparently anxious to
say something to me finally it was ex-
planned by their father, merchant at
this place. 1t was thus explained: While
they" the little girls were singing
hymns this morning, they were told that
the heather children have no Hymn Books
and do not sing as they do; then they
desired their money should be sent for
their benefit, that they might learn to
sing as they do" With the above remark
they handed to their father twenty and
twenty-one cents, which he gave me for
that pur ose. 1 thanked them and
promised that l would send it to you.
Therefore, you will please accept this
mite as thank Offering from our little
folks. May many others be led to think
of others when they enjoy the blessings
of the precious gospel.
Fraternally, ALLEN WRIGHT.

The Unfinished Prayer.

Now lay''-'Say it, darling;
Lay me, hsped The tiny lips
Of my daughter, kneeing. bending
Ger her folded 6nger.tips.
"DowntO sleep" sleep, she murmured
And the curly head dropped low;
Il pray the Lord gently added,
"YOu can say it all, know.
pray the Lord the words came family
Fainter still" My soul to keep;
Then the tired head fairly NODDED,
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes half opened,
When | elasped her to my breast.
And the dear voice softly whispered,
Mamma, God knows all the rest.
Oh, the trusting, sweet cOn6ding
Of the child heart Would that l
Thus might trust my heavenly Father,
He who hears my feeblest cry.
