plowed two and one-half acres OF light sandy
soil, in low condition, not having cut over 400
pounds hay per acre the previous season. We
spread on light coat of manure, narrowing

Strife and Victory.


There came an angel to me in disguise,
Whose name was sorrow tender was his eyes,
Though harsh his hand;
And slowly my reluctant soul he led
Within the hearing of Voice which said,
In sweet command:
"Come unto me and will give you rest"
How could bat obey the kind behests
And, as turned,
Some door of heaven unbarred to flood my way
With glimpses of the everlasting day,
Such glory burned
Then in my gladness, ''This is peace!" said /;
But Life replied, ere many days had sped,
''Not peace, but hope!"
For, while looked, the transient CLEAN was gone
AS clouds across the rift are drifted on.
heavens dark cape.
All, then felt the CALLING chains of sin!
All, then found that peace was hard to win
With such a foe
But as strove with evil, strength was given.
And still my steady feet were turned toward
Heaven,
Though faint and slow
-
Until felt the hostile hosts give way,
The pressure yield;
And then | knew victory was won,
And had conquered peace at last, upon
Life's battlefield.
Not that the strife was wholly ended yet,
Nor triumph perfect. Death alone can set
On mortal brow -a-.
The vlctor's radiant crown; yet peace within
Is won by conquest over self and sin,
Even here and now.
sis it not them" you ask, ''the gift of Christ,
His precious legacy, unearned, unpriced''
Yes, this we know;
But Christs best gifts are not for him who stands
Awaiting them with idle, outstretched hands,
He gives not So
He bought for US field whereon to stand,
And fight life's battle, under his command,
With woe and sin;
He paid His life for power to help, and thus
His gift is that tits possible for US
To strive and win.
For when we strive, we win. Oh blest be He
Who always giveth us the victory
In faithful strife,
And crown the conquest with His holy peace
Whose early beams grow brighter and increase
To endless life!

PADDOCK, DEAN G. Co.,
GENTs.-My corn land was all manfred broad
cast and plowed in, and planted as follows -
Two rows with Vermont phosphate, two rows
without anything, then TWO rows with BradIey's,
and thru the Vermont again, and SO on through
the piece. That which was phosphated ripened
ten days earlier, producing much more than that
not phosphated, all doing nobly-but decidedly
the heaviest yield from the Verm, nj phosphate.
The same was true in potatoes, planted on green
sward without manure, and after the same meth
cd followed in the corn, excepting that used
plaster in the two rows between the Vermont
and Bradley's. In harvesting l got the same
from the plaster did from Bradley's phosphate,
while the Vermont yielded some bushels more
in each row. 1 am satisfied it pays well WHEREBY

PADDOCK, DEAN & Co.,
GENTs-I have used Superphosphate upon
my farm in St. Johnsbury, Concord and Lunen-
burgh, for some years past, with the most salts
factory results, and have endeavored to learn
how far its use might be profitable upon various
crops. 1 am satisfied it pays well on corn, pota-
toes and turnips Ii gives a vigorous growth to
the young plant, natures it two weeks earlier
than barn yard manure alone, increases the yield
by about one-third, and improves the quality OF
the fruit. This year l used equal quantity of
yours and Bradley's, and find the Vermont fully
equal to any phosphate have ever used.

Our Purpose.

At the request of Mr.. Earle we
have consented to take the oversight
OF a religious department in the STAN
dard. We do this not because ofabun-
dance of leisure time, nor of any idea
of peculiar fitness for this work, but
from the conviction that such a de-
partment rightly managed may en-
nance the value of the paper to all
subscribers. and afford to christian
men the opportunity of doing much
good. The audience to whom through
this paper we may speak is larger
than the aggregate of all congrega-
tions OF all denominations gathered
upon the Sabbath in our county, and
while the press may never usurp the
sphere of the pulpit, while the writ
ten expression of religious truth may
never take the place of the living
preacher, it is a valuable ally in his
work and must be used as effectively
as possible. There are special rea-
sons also why the utterance of relig-
ious truth through the columns of other
than distinctively religious paper has
its advantages. 1t certainly comes
nearer the gospel idea of making our
religion closely connected with all our
daily work. Religion is not to be d.
vorced from secular concerns, but to
be made a vital part of all that is
done or thought or said. So in our
families let the local newspaper,
speaking concerning our pursuits in
all other respects, speak also in the
appropriate place and way, of this
grandest aims possible to man, and
insist upon the principles which shall
rule all our hearts and regulate all
our lives.
1t is our purpose in directing this
department to make it religious rather
than merely moral, aud christian rath-
er than UNCONVENTIONAL. 10 this end
we invite all christians interested in
the Standard, aud especially all min.
listers of the gospel to cooperate with
US i'll making this department an hon.
or to the christian intelligence of this
county, and a means Of usefulness to
ali families who read this paper. We
have arranged for exchanges among
the leading religious denominations o.
the day, and propose 10 Gull from theil

To KEEP SAP FROM BOILING OVER
G. NJ. Cowles of Albany, writes us that the
best thing to keep sap from running over
is beef bone thrown in in place of fat
meat, as is the usual practice of sugar max
ers. He says it never fails to keep it from
running over; is cleaner than meat, or at
least does not leave that offensive, greasy
taste that COB of fat does. He says that
the sap.will boil away faster, as it gives a
coarse bubble and does not leave froth or
foam. l.t
