Allow for Rainy Days.

tits the fault of many young farmers, and
not few older ones, that they plan early
in the spring to put too many acres into
crop. They go through careful calculation
of how many days work it will require to
pillow, harrow, plant and SOW given number
of acres, and find that there are just days
enough before the end of seed time to &C
complish it. Now, this making calculations
beforehand is all very well; but the fault
is in not making allowance for rainy days.
We should always hope for long, bright days
of sunshine in farming, as in other pursuits,
but it is also the part of prudence to remem-
Der that large proportion of the season of
seed time is taken up by rainy days. Not
only are there many days when there is rain
falling from the clouds, but days when it is
covering the soil we wish to cultivate.
1t would, perhaps, be safe rule, after a
farmer has made his estimate that he can
pillow and put in crop, say eighty acres-no
calculations being made for rainy days and
days when the ground is too wet to work
to reduce his estimates one-half. If water
in the air, and water in the ground will not
make this difference in the amount of work
to be done, it is pretty certain that accidents
to farm utensils, tanning of the team, or sick
ness of the farmer himself, will make up the
difference.
Nor is it in the spring alone, that allow
ance must be made for rainy days. We can
pillow much less corn, secure much less hay,
and harvest much less grain than if the
ground had always its requisite degree of
moisture from some other source than from
the clouds. 1t is wise, then, while laying
out for good summers work, to take into
consideration how we shall be delayed by
the causes we have spoken Of 1t is much
better every way not to disturb good hay
field, than to pillow it up, and have it covered
with weeds, because there is no time to kill
them; for weeds and goslings will grow at
times when the rain ka1nl16 aliaSSer within

And SO indeed it proved, but a few days
after this sore temptation had been over
come: he heard, very Unexpectedly, Of
another situation, for more desirable than
the former, and which, after due considera-
ton, he accepted. His employer was man
of wealth and influence, great kindness of
heart, and genuine pety. Our young friend
remained with him for years, rising higher
and higher, till, at the time our story closes,
he was head clerk in the establishment, with
an excellent prospect of being admitted to
the firm.
Let young people, of both sexes, remem-
Der this example, and learn to put their trust
in God, when tempted by distressing worldly
circumstances, to compromise with con-
science in the least degree.-American Pres
byterian.

"In the Hollow of Thy Hand"

BY A. NJ. R. CRESSY.
Safe in the hollow of Thy hand,
Now fold us, o our Father
We seek thy help, at Thy command;
Still hold us, o our Father,
In the sweet safety of Thy love!
Touching our hearts from Thy heights above;
Growing our hopes with visions Of rest;
Ever within Thy plying breast,
Enfold;Ss o our Fatherl
Through shifting paths and Turing bloom
Still guide us, o our Father
Be with us when the hours of gloom
Betide us, o our Fatherl
In grand success, or failure pain,
Grant us the better, certain gain
Of perfect faith and trust in Thee;
Knowing that Thou wilt ever be
Beside us, o our Father!
Beneath the shadow of Thy wing
Safe shield US, o our Father
The joys that from Thy blessings spring
Still yield us, o our Father!
Stretch out Thine everlasting arm,
That through all harm, and fears of harm,
We still may know, with loving faith,
BY day and night, through life and death,
Thou'lt shield us, o our Father!

"Let Us Have Peas. "

The editor of the Monroe La Aduertiser
is in happy mood. In the fulness of his
heart, he is content to lay aside the diving
rod of politics, and betake him to tanner
but more inviting theme. He confesses to
an inordinate fondness for those delicious
globules known as cornfeld peas-yea,
cornfeld peas! Hear him:
"Bacon and greens will answer for those
unlucky mortals who have not cultivated
taste; hog and hominy is prime in its place
and 'devilled' ham.sisl bow
coarSe-how tasteless SA9lUlUGvo4'dA-
preiudiced gormandizers-ar these articles
of diet when compared to dish of savory
peas
"We envy the fortunate individual who
sits down to his first plate of peas How
exquisite must be his enjoyment! Reader,
you are of this class, make haste to open
unto yourself new world of Epicurean
delights. First, eat them boiled-cooked
to nicely; add modicum of salt and red
pepper, and corn-bread, as an accompani-
ment; then, with spoon, fall to, not with
coyness, but with right hearty goodwill,
and we promise you beforehand meal such
as potentates might envy.
"Gentle husbandman, raise peas; allow
no gregarious beast to tear the trailing ten
drills or destroy the fruitful pod. Pod, did
we say? Nay! the worthier name were
OUapOdrida; for are not these the combina-
ton of all the excellencies and virtues of
vegetables? Are they not at once bread
and meat and dessert-at once substantial
and delicious?
awe imagine it was not altogether mod
esty which impelled that historical young
woman, whose fame was heralded over our
grand-mothers' tea.cups, to carve each of her
peas in two. How ecstatic must have been
her enjoyment at dinner AN enjoyment
fully realizing Millions idea of sweetness
long drawn out, and utterly beyond the
appreciation of this materialistc age.
perhaps the legend which Ulysses has
written upon his shield may mean something,
after all. We call upon our agriculturists
to respond to it. If there remains spark
of patriotism in this rebellious South-a
remnant of aesthetic culture among those
Confederates who vexed their stomachs with
mule-meat and hard tack-we know they
will appreciate our Interpretation of Presi-
dent Grants motto: Let US have peas"

A MARVEL OF MAN-.The London
Times thus speaks of one of the notables
of the reign of Elizabeth, reign during
which appeared some of the most remarka-
BILE of the intellectual giants of England.
"The more we mediate over the career
of Sir Walter Raleigh, the more we wonder
at the wonderful many-sidedness of the man.
In this respect he far excelled his compeers
Shakespeare and Bacon. A most sweet and
tuneful poet, profound philosophic histo-
rian, an accomplished courtier, a skilful
navigator and shipbuilder, a gallant warrior
both by sea and land, an ardent planter,
horticulturist and botanist, an earnest stu
dent of chemistry, and lastly, to omit many
other of his distinctions, bold preacher of
free trade doctrines in the House of Com
mons nearly three hundred years before
such doctrines were ordinarily accepted
truly this was marvel of man"

To REMEMBER an offence, after having
pardOned it, is thing which can be recon
ciled doubtless with sincere pardon, and may
even reproduce and continue its generosity.
Yet perfect goodness of heart requires an
entire forgetfulness of the offence. The in
diligence which cannot be accompanied by
forgetfulness is not sufficiently secure; it
seems to threaten some return of resentment;
it would be a sort of ostentation of virtue to
repeat the pardon every day. The delicacy
of goodness refuses to carry so far the merit
of its iberality; it effaces from the memory
the remembrance of wrongs.

Annual Collections.

Annual collections.
Our General Assembly has appointed the fol-
lowing as the times for the annual collections tor
its benevolent schemes:
For Sustentation On the first Sabbath in JAN
For Publication: On the first Sabbath in March.
For Foreign Missions: On the first Sabbath in
May.
For the Relief of Disabled Ministers, and the
Widows and Orphans of Deceased Minister'S
On the first Sabbath in July.
In cases where it is highly announcement to take
up collections on these days. the Assembly enjoI1s
that they shall be taken up as soon as possible
thereafter

A Delicate Subject.

The Ourchman discourses thus, with fine
discrimination:
"We do not wish to run into the wholesale
denunciation practised by that school of
critics who clench everything in the way of
TRADE with this formula: Imagine, if you
can, one of the Apostles doing such thingr
We do many things, good brother, which
the Apostles did not We do not care to
imagine an Apostle wearing stove-pipe
hat, or running after the same in high
wind, for instance; but that does not prove
stove.pipe hats unchristian, or the pursuit
of them under difficulties immoral. The
simple question, which we have just illus
trated little broadly, in order to bring out
its true bearing, is this: What is intrinsically
wrong? This is not so easy to be determined
concerning amusements. Conventionality
has much to do with. it. Decent apparel
even is question of usage. 1t is shameful
to see woman face unveiled in the East.
We do not mean to say that propriety of
dress is all matter of opinion among u.s.
We believe that there is general principle,
with delicacy on the one side and daring
on the other; but just because of these two
facts, it is impossible to make the rule pre-
else, or to make it rule. Right feeling
will be on the right side; that is all that can
be said. So with dancing. We do not like
to say that all who dance the fashionable
dances-that is, round dances, as they are
called-are immodest. We do not like to
say this, because it is not true. But we
must say, on the other hand, that these do
not tend to promote modesty, and that it is
great deal better not to dance them. On
the whole, they are bad fashion in society,
and modest women ought to try to drive
them out.
$50 again with the opera. Music in it
selfis not wicked, though many people think
so; neither is acting. If it were, our excel.
lent brethren the Methodists would never
put stage over their chancels and allow
their students to perform dramas thereon.
But there is no doubt that the stage, and
the musical drama in particular, are on the
wrong side. 1t is most probable that they
are so far on the wrong side that they can
not be brought back.
"Can the Church mend the matter? Good
girls will do much for their Church, as we
know. Will they not undertake to try to live
sober, IGiaits0us, and cody lives for their
IaGast4 may do so for other rea-
sons-we hope they will-but will they not
do it for their Church, in order that it may
have social power. The Church can rule
society. A social custom it would not toll
crate would soon die. No religious body
dare be less strict than we; and with the re-
ligious world on the one side, and the fashiona-
Bile world distinctly on the other, it will, at
least, be fair fight"

The Warning Bell.

In every youthful breast doth dwell
A tingling, jingling bell,
Which rings if we do i'll or WELL
And when we put bad thoughts to fight
And choose to do the good and right,
1t peals chorus of delight
But if we choose to do the wrong,
And gainst the weak strive with the strong,
1t tolls solemn saddened song.
CONSCIENCE

THERE is A GREAT want about all Chris
tians who have not suffered. Some flowers
must be broken or bruised before they emit
any fragrance. All the wounds of Christ
sent out sweetness the sorrows of Christians
do the same. To me there is something sa.
cred and sweet in suffering; it is so much
akin to "the Man of sorrows"
