Four impossible Things.

l. To escape troubles by running
away from duty. Jonah once made
the experiment, but it did not sue
ceed. Therefore, manfulIy meet aud
overcome the difficulties and trials to
which the post assigned you by God S
providence exposes you
2. To become a Christian of
strength and maturity without under
going severe trials. What fire is to
gold, such is affiiction to the believer.
1t burns up the dross and makes the
gold shine forth with unalloyed lHs-
ire.
3. To form an independent charae-
ter except when thrown upon ones
own resources. The oak in the mid
die of the forest, if surrounded on
every side by trees that shelter and
shade it, runs up tall and compara-
lively feeble; cut away Its protectors
and the first blast will oyerturn it.
But the same tree, growing in the
open field where it is continually
beaten upon by the tempest; becomes
It's onw protector. So the man FhC
is compelled to rely on his own re-
sources forms an independence Of
character to which he could not 9TH
erwise have attained.
4. To be a growing man by looking
to your position in society for inAu-
ence, instead of your position
Therefore prefer rather to climb VI
the hill with difficulty than to b
steamed up by a power outside your
self

COLLECTING MANURE.-The collec-
ton and application of manure should
goon continually, for the grasses and
cereals and all kinds of cultivated
plants makes an annual draft on the
soil for the ingredients which enable
them to build up stems. foliage aud
seeds. No liquid or solid suited for
enriching the soil should be allowed
to go to write about the homestead.
Soapsuds orwOod ashes, SCOT, charcoal
sawGust, etc, may be applied to the
soil with much benefit to the crops
Leaehed wood ashes are very useful
for top dressing grass land, deepen
ing the color of the plants, and in

DO YOU TAKE THE RESPON-
SIBILTY,

SIBlLTY,
The moral of the following anec-
dote isn't bounded by its temper
ance application. Who cares to
take the responsibility of leading
any one in to wrong doing?
A young man had been sadly
Incorporate. He was a man of
great capacity, fascination, and
power, but he had a passion for BRAN
dy which nothing could control.
Often in his walks, a friend remon-
strated with him, but in vain; as
often, in turn, would he in vain
urge his friend to take a social glass.
On one occasion the latter agreed
to yield to him, and as they walked
up 70 the bar together, the bar
keeper said
"Gentlemen, what viii you haVe?''
Swine, SIR was the reply.
The glasses were filed, and the
two friends stood ready to pledge
each other in renewed and eternal
friendship, when he paused and said
to his Incorporate friend
'Now, if l drink this glass Of
vine, and become a drunkard, will
you take the responsibility
The drunkard looked at him with
severity and said
"Set down that glass"
1t was set down, and the two
walked away without saying a
word.
0, the drunkard knows the aw-
fal consequence of the first glass
Even in his madness for liquor, he
is not willing to assume the repon'
sibility of another becoming ;
drunkard.

How German Banker was Hum
bugged.
A German journal relates that NJ.
Mende. a banker. of Leipsic, received
few days back, registered letter
from the house of Hatehette & Mas
son of Paris, for whom he had, for
some time past, acted as agentin Sax
ony, announcing that their cashier
had absconded with securities valued
at 200, 600 francs. The writer added
that the delinquent was known to
have taken refuge at the Hotel de
PrGsse, in Leipsic, and enjoined NJ.
Mende to endeavor to recover the pa
pers without too much scandal; that
in case of a voluntary restitution they
bad compassion on the wife and
children whom the culprit had lett
behind, and were, therefore, willing
to advance sum of 10000 francs on
condition he would take himself off
to America
VI. Mende, thus instructed, went
to breakfast at the table d'hote of the
Hotel de Prusse, and observing a
gentleman whose appearance cores
pond with the description sent, lost
no time in making his acquaintance
a sort of intimacy being established,
the stranger asked VI Mende for the
address of any banker that would
discount some bills for him. 81 am
banker, sir, and will do it myself, )"
said the other. The parties then
proceeded to the Office of the latter,
when NJ. Mende locked tie door and
said to the stranger: "You are a
rogue. You have stolen these Sc
curities from the house of Hatchette
& Mason. Your chiefs are, howev-
or, generous men. Restore all the
papers, and they have commissioned
me to hand you 10000 francs to ena
Bile you to fly to America. Here
they..are-go and get yourself hanged
elsewhere. . The conditions were, of
course, accepted, and the other left
the room apparently in great emotion.
On NJ. Mende informing the Paris
firm of what had transpired, he
learned to his great annoyance that
he had been played on by some art
ful swindlers, as Hatchette & Mason
had not lost any money, aud had new
er sent him any telegram on the sub

AGRICULTURAL.
Live Cattle Weighed by Measure

Live Cattle Weighed by Measure.
The only instrument necessary
is measure with feet and inches
marked upon it. The girth is the
circumference of the animal just
behind the shoulder-blades. The
length is the distance from the
shoulder-blades. The superficial
feet are obtained by multiplying
the girth and the length.
The following table contains the
rule to ascertain the weight of the
animal.
If less than one foot in girth
multiply superficial feet by eleV-
en-.
Ifless than five and more than
three, multiply superficial feet by
sixteen.
If less than seven and more than
five, multiply superficial feet by
twenty-five.
If less than nine and more than
seven, multiply superficial feet by
thirty-three.
IF less than eleven and more than
nine multiply superficial feet by
forty.
Example: Suppose the girth Of
bullock to be six feet three inch
es; length five feet six inches; the
superficial area Will then be thirty
four, and in accordance with the
preceding table the weight will be
seven hundred and eighty-two
pounds.
Example: Suppose a pig to
measure in girth two feet, and
length one foot and nine inches.
There would then be three and a
half feet, which multiplied by elev-
en-, gives thirty eight and half
pounds as the weight of the aui-
NAL when dressed. In this way the
weight of the four quarteres can
be substantially ascertained during
life.-Souttern CultiUator.

To KEEP TOMATOES FOR WIN

A MODERN REPRIMAND,

Some years ago, in one of the
counties of Virginia, a witness un-
der examination before the County
Court, refused to answer a question
put to him by one of the Council,
and was therefore charged with
contempt ofcourt. He was arraign-
ed on this charge, a long and patient
investigation of the matter ensued,
and the court, after mature deliber-
alton, decided that. the prisoner was
guilty, and that he should be pub
licly reprimanded by the presiding
magistrate of the court. The cul-
prit was accordingly placed at the
bar; the Chief Justice arose with
all the dignity the occasion requir-
ed, and with impressive gravity,
pronounced and executed the sem
tence of the court in the following
words: 'eT--G YOU have
been accused of heinous offence;
you have been fairly and patiently
tried, and found guilty. The court,
in punishment of this Office has or
dered that l shall reprimand you;
