FOUR 1MPossIBLE THINGS.

First, to escape trouble by running
away from duty. Jonah once made
the experiment; but he. soon found
himself where his imitators will IN
the end .6nd themselves. Therefore,
manfnlly meet and overcome tho diff
culties and trials to which tho post.
assigned you by Gods providence OK
poses you.
Second, to becom a Christian of
strength and maturity without IN
dcrgoing severe trials. What fro is
to gold, that is aftiiction to the be-:
lever. IL burns up the dros. aud
makes the gold shine forth with IN
alioycd lustro.
Third, TO form an independent char
acter except whom thrown upon their
own resources. The oak in the mid
die OF tho forest, if surrounded on ev-
cry sido by trsos that shelter and
shude 1t, runs up tall and sickly; but
away.from its protectors, and tho f list
, blast will overturn it, Bat tho same
troe, growing in tho open field where
it is continually beat upon by the ten
pest, becomes ITS own protector. S.
tho man who is compelled to rely OF
his own resources forms an independ-
cneo of character to which he coul'
uot otherwise huvo attained.
Foursh, to be growing man wher
you look to your post TOR influence
instead Of bringing Influence to you
lost. Therefore, prrfor rather I
climb mp bill with difficulty, than t
roll down with iuglorious case.

AN HONORABLE BOY.

A minister of the gospel had an
interesting littlo son, on whose mind
ho was daily trying to make impress
sions that would form his life accor-
ding TO the Bible. He taught his lit
tic boy to avoid sin, and to keep out
Of tho way Of sinners. Ho carefully
guarded him against the popular and
fashionable vices Of the day. Nor
did he tire in his wcrk. lie knew it
was littlo by little that he was to
make lasting and indcllible impress
rions upon the mind of his son.
A short ,imo since his father left
his son with friend to spcnd a few
weeks. The gentleman with whom
he Was left with was pleased with his
charge, and did all he could to make
the little fellow happy and contented.
Que day he carried him to u neigh
boring village to see IL circuS with
out telling him whore he was going
The unsuspecting boy went cheerful
Iy along, and was very happy, and
much pleased with his rido. The
gontlemen took him to tho enclosure
under tho canopy, and getting a con-
venient seat, placed him by his side
The little fellow looked round -upor
tho immense canvas umbrella spreat
before him, and then inquired, "Wha
is this, sir ?" "Wherc am II" Th
gentleman replied, "This is q circus

said tho child, IL cannot stay I mu'

father says a circus is-a bad place, an

mau tried in vain to satisfy the boy

This was noble boy. The lit
fellow did exactly right. Ho dote

WHAT RED CLOVER DoEs.-S.I
Edward Todd, in the course of a dis
cussion before tho Now York Institute
Club, referred TO the fortiliz,ng
power Of rcd clover az follows: "On
the heavy, stubborn soils of the slopes
Of our northern lakes, tho production
of red clover has been Of incalcula.
bic vulue in renova,ing and change
ing the character of these stubborn
soils, 80 us TO rondcr them more pro.
duc,iVe from year to year. Under
the ameliorating influences of crop
of rcd clover, farms that produced
scarcely "a Iemuneruting crop when
, the virgin soils was turned up with
the plow, now yield annually heavy
crops Of choice wheat or other grain.
The distinguishing characteristic of
rod clover rs rcnovator of the soil
is to produce vegetable m ,uld or hu-
mus. Whore humus abounds in
largo quantities in tho soil, red clio or
if not tho fertilizer req tired. Bat
where tho eurface is not covered by a
stratum Of fine mould, red clover can
be raised with emiuert satisfaction
and profit. Oar most extensive
Pennsylvania farm ers understand ard
appreciate the excellencessnd cfficien
cy Of red clover. Almost our eh,ir,
country has got TO renovate witt
,ed clovor. O.d and impoverished
fields will eventually be made to fee
tho a'neliorating influences OF the eff
, cicnt renova,or Of poor and badl,
, managed soil. And this great ant
desirable change will be wrought on
by the production Of red clover.
