UFarmers, please read the following letter
written by Mr.. Henry C. Cleveland. of Coventry,
for Messrs Baker, Brown & Co., Newport, VT,
aud then read the letter written and published by
Paddock, Dean g. Co., as coming from the same
Mr.. Cleveland, and notice the difference. Mr..
Cleveland says my phosphate was the best; but
no one reading the certificate written by Paddock,
Dean & Co., under Mr.. Cleveland,s name would
know this fact. The only wonder is that Mr.. c.
had such good results from the Dbl. of P. d. &
Cos phosphate, if was actually made in their
regular "batch."
UrDld Mr.. Fl. C. Cleveland purchase Dbl. of
their regular phosphate, or did they send him a
Dbl. free of charge to experiment WITH If Pad
dock, Dean & Co.. will answer this simple quest
ion, through this paper, l will send them copies
through the same channel of two different anal
sis of their phosphate, which l have procured
from distinguished chemist, and at an expense
to me of thirty dollars.

GENTs.-I put your phosphate on to wheat,
turnips hops, grass, ETC., receiving marked Sene
fit in all cases; but more ESPECIALLY on the grass
and wheat, which throughout the season remem-
bered the slight dressing given them, and made
satisfactory returns. Having satisfied myself
that your phosphate has no superior in the mar
ket, and pays large returns on its cost, shall
use it freely in the future.

A correspondent suggests that there is
much needless apprehension in regard to
the spread of Romanism, the substance of
his argument being that the general tenden-
cies ofmodern civilization are against it.
All very plausible and pleasant, but there
are disagreeable facts in the way of our
adopting this cheerful view of things. We
have no morbid anxiety on the subject, but
do think it necessary to contrast the apathy
of Protestants and all lovers of civil and re-
igious liberty with the systematic and per-
sistent efforts of the Romanists to obtain
ecclesiastical possession land this with them
dominates all political questions of this.

poor condition, but thought it good place to
see what Phosphate would do. plowed, har-
roweo well, and planted corn, without manuring
at all. Through the center were four rows with
out any fertilizer, which gave slim crop. Each
side of this was your phosphate, (and some other
kinds) Where used your phosphate, there
was a much heavier growth, and fully three times
as much corn. Three cared stalks were plen-
ty as two generally are. and it was all large
and sound. think your phosphate a superior
article, and pays well to use.

"DYING GRACE."---We sometimes hear
a distinction between living grace and dy-
ing grace, as though one kind of grace was
necessary to live by and another to die by :;
or at least as though we should need more
to die than to live. But how is this? What
is living grace? OF course grace is favor
the favor of God--the influences of the Holy
Spirit But the fruit of the Spirit in Us all
comprehended in one word---submissiOn
Our will given up, Gods will instead Liv-
ing grace then enables us to do and suffer
Gods will, and if we have not this grace
then we are not living as God would have
us live, and of course if we have not got
grace to live by, can it be expected that We
should have dying grace? But five have
this living grace then we have all we need
to die by. There is the same differen, be-
tween living grace and dying grace that
there is between Monday grace and Tues
day grace; which is just none at all Mon
day grace will not answer for Tuesday, nor
can we tell to-day whether we shall need
more or less on the morrow, for we don t
know what its duties or trials will be. Nor
do we know any better whether we shall
need more grace or less in dying hour
than now But it is the experience ofeverv
Christian, who knows what entire submis-
sion is, that day by day it is sweeter and
sweeter to lie passive in the arms of our
blessed Saviour, and easier and easier to do
his bidding. And may we not reason con-
clusively from this, that when we come to
the last moment, it will be the easiest and
sweetest of all to breathe our spirits into
the presence of him we love ?--Lyman.

pounds hay per acre the previous season. We
spread on a light coat of manure, narrowing
thoroughly, (but owing to the usual drouth, the
crop got little benefit from the dressing, and
planted to corn and potatoes. They came up

remarkably green, so much so that frequent in

crop, particularly the corn, while the potatoes
were much better than any I saw on similar soil.

SIR Seeing a certificate in the "Caedonian,"
newspaper printed at st. Johnsbury, VT, sign
ed by Capt. G. w. Newhall, with respect to Pad
dock, Dean Co.'S phosphate, (or Vt. raw-bone),
we take the liberty to say that that certificate
was not given by SAID Newhall, nor authorized
to be given by any other person, and that it is
the most of it FALSE. We will now state the re-
suit of the use of the phosphate last year. the
first we ever used. We bought barrel of yours
and exchanged ten pounds with one of our neigh
bors for P. d. & Co.'S for trial. Having piece
of grass land ploughed the previous year. QS67)
with coat of manure turned under last spring,
we, to try corn new breke land, planted about
one-third of an acre. the first four rows with moth
ing in the hill, the next four we used P. d. &
Co.'S phosphate, the remainder we planted with
yours. The result was this: Where P. D. & Cos
was used the corn was double to that where no
phosphate was used, and where yours was used
there was ONE FOURTH more than where Pad
dock, Dean & Cos was used. We used one large
spoonful in the hill. Also same in our potatoes
until the barrel was used up. And we salts
fed wo had one hundred bushels more per acre
where Bradley's phosphate was used than where
| no phosphate was used.
We so well satisfied with our trial last year
that we shall double the quantity this.

Bishop Littleohn has been using plain
but very sensible words in regard to church
music. He recently visited st. Marys church
in Brooklyn, n. Y, free church with con-
gregational singing, and there stated that
between 10000 and S25, 900 were annually
spent in that city for music by the Episco-
pal churches alone. He then asks, What
was got for all this expenditure? good mus
zeal talent, of course, but so far as the prop
er work of thachurch is concerned, it was
almost, if not quite, worthless. The work
for which musicians are thus paid ought, he
says, to be done by the people of God them
selves those who cultivate their talents for
music for their own private houses, for per-
sonal enjoyment and the qualification Of
friends, should consecrate the culture so OBJ
tanned to Gods service on the Sabbath.
How many persons there are in our church
es who possess musical talent of a high or
der, who use this talent in all places where
it is required except in the house of God
Here is something to be thought of by those
who attempt to praise God by proxy. There
is scarcely church in the land where there
might not be good music, and music, too,
which would have the element of true praise
if those who have the ability had also the
| disposition. Let the people praise Thee,
. God, let all the people praise Thee"
