The Church Union.

This paper has been recently enlarged
to mammouth proportions. 1t is the larg--
est religious paper in the world. Is the.
leading organ Of the Union Movement, and
opposes ritualism, close communion, ex--
clusiveness and church caste. It is the
only paper that publishes Henry Ward
Beecher's Sermons, which it does every
week, just as they are delivered, without
qualification or correction by him. 1t ad-
vocates universal suffrage; union Of
christians at the polls; and the rights o.
labor. It has the best Agricultural De-
partment Of any paper In the world; pub
fishes stories for the family. and for the
destruction Of social evils. Its editorial
management is impersonal; its writer's and
editors are from everykbranch ofthe church.,
and from every grade Of society. 1t has
been aptly termed the freest organ Of
thought In the world. tss
Such paper, Offering premiums ofSew-
ing Machines, dictionaries, Appleton'A
Cyclopedia, Pianos, Organs for churches,
etc., makes one Of tho best papers for cam
vasscrs in the world. - i,

Save the Dead Leaves.

Ifcyery horticulturist and farmer
would think for q moment on the
nature of fallen leaves-which con-
tain not only the vegetable matter.
but the earthly salts, lime, potash,
etc, needed for the next season S
growth and fcrtility-and that, toe.
exactly in the proportion required
by the very tree and plant from
which they fall; nay, more, if they
would consider that it is exactly in
this way. by the decomposition Of
these very fallen leaves that nature
enrichcs the soil, year after year,
in her great forest, it would hardly
be possible for such rejecting hor-
ticulturist or farmer to allow these
leaves to be swept away by every
wind that blows, and finally lost
altogether. Nor would he give them
away, as many now do. He would
rather collect, from week to week,
the leaves that fall under each tree,
and by digging them under the soil
about the roots, whore they will de-
cay. provide in the cheapest man.
ncr the best possible food for the
tree. If this plan should be tried
we should not see old orchards dy-
ing out for want Of nourishment;
but they woul |, in this simple man
ner, receive all the enriching they
required. Pear trees, and doubt
less the peach, would be greatly
benefited by this procedure.
In certain vineyards in France
and Italy, the vines are kept in the
highest condition by simply burying
ut their roots every leaf and branch
that is prupcd off, or falls from the
vines at the close of the season.
Will not some of our farmers, of in
curing minds, give this simple pro-
cess . trial this season?
It Isl we'll known fact that nc
manure is more eagerly sought fol-
by the fori st than leaf manure. 1t
enters largely into the compost pre-
pared for potting. Leaves, collect.
ed and mixed with barnyard manure
greatly enhances its value. There.
fore gather up the leaves that moth.
ing be lost.

the force Of blow struck:
'What kind Of blow was
giyen?"
"a blow of the common kind -
"Describe the blow"

"Show me what kind Of . blow il
was.'' ~
II cannot -
'sYou must,
81 won't. -
The lawyer appealed to the court.
The court told the witness that il
the counsel insisted upon his showing
what kind Of q blow it was he must
do so.
DO you insist upon it?'' asked
the witness.
81 do.
"Well then. since you compel me
to show you, it was this kind Of q
blow!" at the same time suiting the

Two Hints for HOrsemen.

All cAcHoukc says
/. To prevent chatting the breasts
of horses. The common practice of
using pads or sheepskins under the
collars is Objectionable, especially
in warm weather, because it ac-
cumulates heat and makes the
breast tender. A better way is to
take piece of thick and smooth
leather, cut it out just the sizs of
the collar, or a little wider, and let
it lie fat on the neck and shoulders
Of the horse. This will lie smooth
on the neck, while tho collar itself
moves about, and so it will prevent
chafng In addition to this, let
the breast Of working horses be
washed off every night with clean
water.
?. In reference to blanketing
horses in winter. 1t is ubtlcss
true that blanketing keeps horses
coat smooth er in winter. And
hence. fine carriage horses and sad.
die horses will doubtless continue
to be blanketed. But where horses
are kept more for service than for
show, we think they had better dis
pense with the blanket. Keeping
them constantly covered makes
them tender and liable to take cold.
Better give them warm stable,
plenty Of straw for bedding. and
good food. When they are to stand
for any length of time out doors in
cold winters day, they should
have blankets. And 50 when they
come in from work stcaming hot,
they should be allowed to stand n
short time uutil they have partially
cooled off; then the blanket should
be put on for an hour. Be careful
and not delay putting on the blanket
until they have become chilled.

A writer says:-'We arc troubled
often with severe coughs. the result
Of colds Of long standing. which may
turn to consumption or premature
death. Hard coughs cause sleep
less nights by constant irritation Of
the throat, and a strong effort
to throw off offensive matter from
the lungs. The remedy proposed has
often been tried, and is simply to
take into the stomach before retir-
ing for the night piece Of raw on
ion after chewing. This esculent,
in an uncooked state, is very heating
aud collects the water from the lungs
and throat, causing immediate re-
lief to the patient.

Terms Of Subscription.
Cash In Advance. $l.5(

Cash in advance, aye That is the magic
word for these times. Credit is nowhere,
compared with Cash. It forms splendid
basis for business, as will be seen by the
following bill of items
1st, Tits Safe, Because what is mad
is secure without reference to the Profit
and Loss account Of the Ledger. At the
end of the year you can tell whether Won
really made anything; and your earn
ings are not in the pockets of the men for
whom you have toilcd for months, or years,
and perhaps forever, after the work is
done. The bird is in your own hand. Far
mers! You understand this, and pursue
that course in selling your products to us,
or to others.
2nd. 1t Is Pleasant, Pleasant to
the Subscriber to read his own paper, to
the Publisher to have him do So The cash
subscriber comes to you with frank and
open manner and face. He feels independ-
ent, asks no fayors, chats on equal terms
and without restraint. He has your con-
fdence. and you treat him with cordial re-
spect, for he deserves it. His business
concluded, the hand-shaking is honest
and mutually satisfactory.

4th, 1t Is Benevolent, Because
the subscriber only takes as much sub
scription as he can pay for, and conse-
quently has no gloomy forebodings by day,
or tossing on his pillow in the wakefui
hours of night, devising ways and means
to pay for papers inconsiderately sub
scribed for. Look before you leap, that
you may come down softly Yes, the cash
system is sister to the gentle quality of
money, that blesses him that gives, and
him that takes'

Webster's Opinion of Byron.

A friend in the ministry cut the ex-
tract below, with the heading as here
given, from an old Watchman and Re-
fiector:
"Mr. " Webster's instincts leaned uni
formly to the side of virtue and piety,
though his passions often proved too
strong for the restraints of reason and
conscience. He never apologized for
sin in great men, or cloaked their VI
ces under the milder name of inirmi-
ties and folies. The following severe
judgment of Byron in one of his let
terS is characteristic of his strong NOR
al sense"
"I have read Tom Moore's first vol
ume Of Byron's life. Whatever hu-
man imagination shall hereafter pic
tnre of human being, shall believe
it all within the bounds of credibility.
Byron's case shows that fact some.
times runs by all fancy, as steamboat
passes a scow at anchor. Ihave tried
hard to find something in him to like,
besides his genius and his wit; but
there was no other likable quality
about aim. He was an incarnation of
demonism. He is the only man in
English history for a hundred years
that has boasted of infdelity and ev-
cry practical vice, not included in
what may be termed, what his biogra,
pher does term, meanness. Lord Bo-
lingbroke, in his most extravagant
youthful sallies, and the wicked Lord
Littleton, were saints to him. All
Moore can say is, that each of his vi
ceS had some virtue or some prudence
near it. Well, if that were not so in
all, who could escape hanging: The
biographer, indeed, says his moral
conduct must not be judged of by the
ordinary standard And this is true,
if a favorable decision is looked for.
Many excellent reasons are given for
his being a bad husband; the sum of
which is, that he was very bad man.
| confess | was very much rejoiced
then, and am rejoiced now, that he
was driven out Of England by public
scorn; because his vices were not in
his passions, but in his principles
He denied all religion and all virtue
from the house top.
"Dr. johnson says there is merit in
maintaining good principles, though
the preacher is seduced into violation
OF them. This is true. Good theory
is something. But theory of living,
and dying too, made up of the ele-
ments of hatred to religion, contempt
of morals and defiance Of the opinion
Of all the decent part of the public
when before has man of letters av-
owed it? If Milton were alive to re-
cast certain prominent characters in
his great epic, he could embellish them
with new traits without violating pro-
liability"
