Where is God +?

o where is God? Enthroned on high,
In realms of blissful majesty;
Where angel hosts and seraphs bright
Forever basque in purest light,
Sits He who rules in sovereign sway
Whose mandates myriad worlds obey.
Owhere is God: The mountains hoar,
Whose bald peaks list the winds wild roai
And Amazon-Missourfs flood;
The holy Ganees-stream of blood
And all the isles that deck the sea,
His habitation sure shall be.
o where il God In ey'ry breeze
That strolls and whispers mid the trees;
In ev'ry pebbly brook that CLEANS
And flashes back the suns bright beams,
In verdant vale or WOODLAND green,
Thy dwelling place, o Lord, is seen.
o where is God The trackless deep,
Whose mighty pillows dash and leap,
Each twink'ling lamp that burns on high,
And lights the broad expanse of sky,
Each bird and bee that fits in air,
Proclaims that God is everywhere.

Paving Farming.


Two things are true of farmers as a class.
But few of them ever come to actual want,
and but few ever attain to great wealth.
Probably no business affords so sure an av-
enue of support, and this is no small CON
sideration in these days of fluctuations.
The majority of farmers feel that farming
is perpetual slavery, because that after
hard, steady work from one years end to
the other, they find themselves at the end
of the year just where they started from
The price of farm products are high, the
farmer is economical, sells the best Ofevery-
thing, denies himself and family, is up early
and late, and just keeps his head above
water. We think this is a truthful picture
of the majority of farmers. A few like
John Johnston, of Geneva, New York, rise
gradually from this condition to one of
abundant wealth. What makes the differ
ence between these two classes? We an
swer that in every case the difference is
head work. The majority of farmers tread
right on in the old paths regardless of the
immense Improvements that have been
made in modern agriculture, improvements
as important as the application of steam in
mechanics or the loom in manufacturing.
Suppose manufacturer disregarding the
fact of the loom, should attempt to make
cloth as our grandmothers made it why
he could not come into competition at all
with other manufacturers and would lose
ground. He would stand in Just the posi-
ton that thousands of farmers occupy who
ignore the modern Improvements in the
cultivation of the soil. We are aware that
the information necessary to the farmer
has been locked up in many costly volumes
written in a scientific language that the
farmer did not understand, but this Difficult
ty has now been overcome and the whole
subject has been reduced into one ordinary
sized volume, written in the plainest and
most practical manner; Otis entitled '"Hoao
to Make the Farm Pay") This volume
treats of every subject in which the farmer
is interested.
The first chapter treats of drainage as
the foundation of all improved culture, and
gives plain practical rules for all the opel,-
atoms of drainage.
The second chapter treats of blowing,
showing when, where, how and what to
pillow.
| The third chapter is upon manures, and
is one of the most interesting and valuable
we have ever seen; it shows just how and
where the manure goes to waste and how
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1870-01-25

at a very trifing expense the manure can
be doubled in quantity, quality and value.
There are also full directions for the pur-
chase and use of commercial fertilizers al
ter the most has been made of what every
farmer has at his hand. This chapter If
read, and its directions followed, would
surely double the wealth of every farmer
in ten years. Chapter four treats Of the
purchase, use and care of all farm imple-
ments. Chapter five Of the cultivation of
grain. Chapter six of grasses and hay
making. Chapter seven of root crops; and
chapter eight on special crops and the ro-
tation of crops. This chapter gives the
latest information on the cultivation OF
cotton, rice, tobacco, fax, hemp, hops,
beets for sugar, &c. Chapter nine to twelve
inclusive, treat of domestic animals, breed
ing, raising, care, management and feed
ing, and particularly of all diseases Of do
nestle animals with plain, simple rene
dies. No man who owns single animal
can afford to be without the information
contained in those four chapters. Chapters
thirteen to eighteen treat Of the cultivation
of large and small fruits, showing how mil
lions of acres of now almost protitless lands
may be made to yield large and paying
crops, how every farmer may make $500 to
5000 per acre from apples or grapes. The
young men who read these chapters and
commence farming on these principles
will not be the poor plodders their prede-
/ cessors have been. Untold wealth is in
store for those who catch the ideas and
spirit of this book Chapter nineteen treats
of the planning and buj lding Of farm build
/ ings. Chapter twenty Of market gardening
and farmers gardens. Chapter twenty-one
Of various miscellaneous items, as fences,
farm laborers, forest trees, &c. Chapter
twenty-five contains nearly three hundred
choice receipts forcooking, preserving, &c
and the last chapter gives the symptoms
and remedies for the ordinary diseases Of
children and adults, with directions for
preserving the health, and other matters OF
interest We think we are justified in
saying that 50 much information Of use tc
the farmer IS not to be had for ten times
the price anywhere else. This book, a:
the reader viii notice, from the description
in our paper, has one hundred and forty
illustrations, which we have neither time
or SPACE to describe.
We say buy this book if you wish tc
learn the secrets of paying farming.

Gus truth, inwrapping and upholding us,
we must learn to admire and love. We
need to mediate upon it till it becomes
power in us, and we form some proper es-
innate of its exceeding glory. We need to
drink in its spirit till our bosoms swell not
only with enjoyment, but with seraphic
alteration and transport till, ravished with
delightful anticipations ofheaven, we can
join in those "subimest strains that angels
use, and which John heard in the Apo
calyptic vision, "as it were the voice of a
multitude, as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying, Alleliua, for the Lord God Omnip-
otent reigneth. Let US be glad, and give
honor to Him." W.

Lessons of the Sick Room.

We instinctively shrink from the onerous
duties of the sick room, yet the lessons
there learned by the soul in few weeks of
anxious watching, may be of more value
than all the knowledge gained in a life
time Of quiet self enjoyment.
When, like Moab, we have long been at
ease, and suffered no affective changes, the
heart wakes gross, the ears grow dull Of
hearing, and the eye becomes closed; but
when painful dispensations come, the SOU
is awakened from its lethargy, and laying
aside every encumbrance, stands naked
before God. The senses, no longer dull
perceive the eternal truths of the Godhead
and the heart, understanding its weakness
and dependence, repents of its grossness
its idolatry and pride, and seeks conversion
and healing at the hand of the Lord
When the angel of death seems hovering
near, with power at once to shut from tn
sight of all earthly good, the whole worl,
appears of no account in comparison witt
the soul; and we are made ready to sell al
that we have, and buy gold triedin the fire
that we may be rich, and white raiment
that we may be clothed, and so obtain en-
trance into that kingdom where death hail
no power.
We no longer shrink from labor, nor OIL

The literature of the Sabbath school may
not be, in respect to quality, all that could
be desired but it may be doubted whether
there is any other department of literature
that is exerting as much influence on the
destinies of mankind Infdelity, MOham-
mechanism, and Buddhism have no peculiar
literature for the young, nor have they any
peculiar institution where to inculcate their
sentiments on the young. Science, with
great difficulty, prepares books for the
young. but it is literature in astronomy, bot
any, chemistry, designed to guide the
Young, as compared with the literature of
the Sabbath school, is meager in the ex-
IRENE. The Sabbath school and the Sab

vast power on the coming generation,

Now fire a Shot il You Dare.

We read in the papers lately how man
was saved from being shot He had been
condemned in Spanish port, but being an
American citizen, and also of English birth,
the consuls of the two countries interposed
and declared that the Spanish authorities
had no power to put him to death and
what did they do to secure his life? They
wrapped him up in their flags they cover
ed him with the Stars and Stripes and the
Union Jack. and defed the executioneers.
"Now fire a shot if you dare; for if you do,
YOU defy the nations represented by those
flags, and you wilt bring the powers ofthese
two great nations upon you" There stood
the man, and before him the soldiery, and
though shot might have soon ended his
life. vet he was as invuInerabe as though
in a coat of triple steel. Even so Jesus
Christ has taken my poor guilty soul ever
since | believed in Him. and has wrapped
around me the blood-red flag of His atom
ing sacrifice; and before God can destroy
me or any other soul that is wrapped in the
atonement, He must insult His Son and
dishonor this sacrifice; and that He never
will do. blessed be His name. H. Spur

You can find some work to do, if only you

The Reform School Compared with
the Agricultural College.

We were much surprised to see in Mr..
Jameson's report TO the "Orleans Agricul-
tural Society" given in the Standard, Jan.
18th, the following sentence: 81 believe
the Reform School and farm at Waterbury
a better place to send young man, to
learn agriculture, than Burlington College
We suppose a man usually so well inform
ed a. Mr.. Jameson Is, must have taken
some pains to know whereof he speaks be-
fore putting before the county an opinion
so contemptuous of solid education, and so
smacking of charlatanry and empiricism.
That the sensible farmers of Orleans Co.
may have an opportunity to judge for
themselves, AID not take Mr.. Jameson's
opinions withcat weighing the soundness
of them, we give below the actual course
of study in the Agricultural department OF
the University of Vermont at Burlington,
as it is laid down in its catalogue for the
present year
We will just say that the board of trus-
tees are elected, one-half of them by the
old college corporation, and the other hall
by the Legislature composed in large ma
jority of farmers. This board ARRANGE the
course of studies, and provide instructor
apparatus, &c, and not in a single instance
as yet have that portion of the board elect
ed by the Legislature met the slightest OPP
position, or the slightest failure to assist
in carrying out their plans, from the other
portion. Every proposition to make the
agricultural department of instruction as
fully adapted to the genuine wants of the
farmers of the state as possible has always
met the cordial assent of both divisions o
the board. If the course is not what i
ought to be, let the farmers of the state ir
telligently suggest what is wanting and i
will be provided to the full extent of tn,
means at the control of the trustees.
But fellow citizens, intelligent farmers
look at this course of study already provi
ded, and given by as competent and faith
full instructors as the country furnishes
and judge for yourselves how it compare
with that at the Reform School at Water
bury!
