JOHNSON AND GRANT.-When 4 man
makes public speech many men hear
him, and there will be corrections of any
Misrepresentation of what be said. But
where a single reporter gives his account
of a private '.ntervew" be has The ground
all toahinself. We do not know how ac-
curate may be the version wirich the Her
ads correspondent furnishes OF. Mr.. John
sons remarks about Grant. There is .
good deal of Mr.. Johnson's manner, and
good deal of truth in them. The style
of illustration that marks Western humor
with which Lincoln and Johnson have
made US familiar, appears very happily
in this image cf the Presidents soul, al
sea in hazel nrt .
But fear FOR the country when such q
man is likencd t. the Father of his Conn
TRY. Physically and mentally and NOR
ally be is a aonentity. Why, sir, his
soul is 50 small that You could put it with
in the . riphcry of hazal nutshell, and
! it might float about for thousand years
without knocking against the walls of the
! she'll That's the s re of his soul. Just
look at the man sitting at aCabinet coun-
ell He has no idea, no policy, no stan
sdard. no creed, no faiffN How can he
guide tn, people ? How can he impress
any great improvements or moral ideas
upon the nation He has no object to
look forward to-uo leading aim to draw
the people towards any particular end.
One member has bought him house
in Philadelphia, another has given him
8S65, 900, another has given him car
rage and Sc on. 1t is degrading to the
office of President of the United States to
have such man there They talk about
his geueralship. Well, he was mere III
cidcnt of the war. Men and arms were sup
Piled in abundance, and his forces were
SO massive that they simply crushed out
/ the rebellion. 1t would have been done
! had Grant never been born Therefore
/ he was a mere incident. But the little
follow has come to think he is somebody
really.

THE ONE DAY IN SEvES.-One day in
seven i the day of rest And the ques-
ton ri~es-wlfat is rest? If only Sleep
or inactivity. that want j. already rrovi-
ded for. Nearly third Of our time is
thus spent: more than third with most
in sleep and refreshment The seventh
day is in al li,ion TO all this; and its OBJ
servauce is p-obably the Oldest custom in
the world The Hebrews in their histo-
~ are referred tn as men who already
recognized the Sabbath or rest o. the sew
enth day. Its observance is enjoinei
ufuu chem as the continuation Of An old
institution. not the commencement Of a
new. The day Of rest is intended for the
relief Of our powers in their activity In
word, it is repose by the change Of mcn-
tai occupa9xn, not the cessation of all
eesI ges r11a5aa11.. res, 81 l. the the
lease from the daily ci$res Of the working
day wor 1. and the turning Of the mind
and thoughts in a different direction from
heir daily routine The person who is
interested in the religious and beuevo-
lent empIoyments proper to the first dav
Of the week, may be as much occupied
and engaged On that day as on any other,
and still rise refreshed upon the second
day, feeling that he has enjoyed an inter-
/ val of repoSe.
The repo~e Of Sunday is an escape from
the monotony Of our daily lives, and in
the consciousness that il is no. only a
/ privilege but duty on that day TO dis
miss all business and all mercenary care
fer the morrow He who understands
the day. and duly values it. rises above
the sordid conditions and requirements Of
labor He is prince for one day. He
is indeed, better than a prince. He is a
man relieved by the merciful goodness of
the Creator from the sentence. by the
sweat Of thy brow Shalt thou eat bread. ="
The Sunday rest is The richest reward Of
labor, the best and most certain wages of
! industry to those who appreciate the priv
ilege, and know how to improve it. The
rest Of Sunday is the comfort of hope
The man who thinks and who believes,
! forgcts his mortality, and rejoices il the
light of the promise of an undying life.
He is embodied by manumission from the
ordinary conditions Of existence, and car
rieS with him from his Sunday rest new
strength for weekday struggle. If the
! Sunday rest were designed to be an addl-
ton of one-seventh more to third of the
time which nature exacts for physical re-
cupcration, W, might dispense with the
sun on that day-as too many do, by
dosing away its hours. But Snnday is
the day for rest for the ijre man, and he
who sleeps is dead for the time. Sunday
is cheerful, and, properly spent, an Gu
noblng and strengthening day, and he
who would secularize it would rob US o.

HOUSEHOLD AND COUNTRY.

Sandy soils, generally neglected, are
the very best soils in which to raise SUI
perisr rye.
The food of all young animals. even the
herhiyorons is animal food. Ills fact

young poultry.
There are two kinds of ramie in this
country. That being cultivated in the
South is emily propagasea by divisions of
roots and cuttings.
A remedy for the red spider on house
plants is wash made By soaking fine
cut tobacco in cold water, and applying
it with bit of soft cloth to the plant
a tablespoonful of tobacco to one pint of
water.
Let us keep our animals dry and not
wooded over, not trembling from the ab-
straction of heat by the cold air, whether
still Or in motion let US have warmer
shelter with sufficient ventilation, and all
will be rig hit.
To can green goo>eberries place the
lar in warm water, and Ell with the ber-
ries then pour on boiling rain water un-
til the jar is entirely filled !; then seal in
medately. Canned in this way they have
kept well for four years.
Stirring the soil is pre-eminently i'm
portant for good crop ofcorn but this
stirring is performed economically only
by horses 1t is cheaper to employ a man
aud two-horse cultivator, at FIVE dollars a
day. than man with a hand-hoo at %
cents day.
A good cement for Cutters and leaky
places may. it is said, be made of boiled
paint skins, If while hot and thick por-

sal and practice of our readers:
The clothing should be light and loose,

readily pass through it. 1t should be
changed often. Clothing worn during
the day should not be worn at night
The entire body should be bathed every
day 80 as to keep the pores open and the
skin clean. Precipitation should not be
checked but encouraged, if one does not
perspire easily. Precipitation necessi-
tates evaporation. AMI evaporation cools-
