How TO Keep Pasture In Good Condi-
tlon.

It is with a pasture as with man, the
income must be greater than the expenses
or IL grows poor, Crops are the expenses
Il il quite possible to make the surface OF
any sou unproduotiye and Improbable by
carrying off more than is put on, Paslur-
ing with cows that are yarded at night does
this Sheep or beevus chat remain upon
the land. ON the contrary, return more than
an equivalent IN manure, and keep the
land improving. Where plaster meets u
want of the soil ii may be kept improving
10y sowing broadcast bushel and halt to
the acre every spring, and feeding of the
grass. Many farms III the grazing districts
IN the interior are kept up mainly by plas
ter and feeding. Some OF them viii carry
q bullock to the acre. Other lands need
lime, and the lime brings in clover, and
this plant, by the large drafts II makes up
on the subsoil and the atmosphere, al
ways improves the pasturago. In oth.r
districts ashes are accessible at reasonable
rates, and they are always u reliable top
dressing.
The effects are visible on some soils in
increased crops of grain for twenty years.
Cheap ashes viii keep up any pastures, pay
their cost, aud leave q profit. So Will
home made compost, il & man viii but
make and use ii. Along the seaboard the
old pastures need nothing better than
creek mud, and the weeds thrown upon
the shore Too often these are allowed TO
rot on tho sand Tor want OF labor 70 gather
them. Irrigation is available in other
cases, aud where the waters Of brook can
be TUNED over pasture nothing more vii
be needed % keep il in good condition,
Changing soils utteutimes has q wonderful
influence. Sometimes on the same field OF
twenty acres there will be sandy or grayely
knobs nga4ly bare OF vegetation, and hard
clal on muck in swales. A top.dresSing OF
the sand would pay on the SwAles, ana

kept profitable, must have something done

RELIGION AND Business. The theory of
some respecting the relation of religion
and business is well set forth in an article
in tho New York Methodist. We think we
have seen some who were fully q match
for the horse trader mentioned IN the fol.
lowing, from tho article sbove referred to:
"a few weeks since, while travelling in
one of the New England states, we met an
eccentric old man who combines the occu.
pations of farmer, horse. dealer, and col.
porteur. In his work of mercy, he dis.
tributes tracts gratuitously, and sells Bibles
and other religious books at cost to those
who can pay for them, and gives them
away to the poor. We are very much i'm
pressed, as well as amused, with one re-
mark which the old man made in the
course of the conversation. Now said
he, when | start on work Of mercy and
stop to deal in horses. [ never have good
luck. The fact is, 1 don't ,oant the Lord
ground ,ohen / m trading hOrsssr From the
lips Of some this would SAVIOR of irrev-
erence; but there was no irreverence IN
the manner of this old man. He seemed
to be impressed with the Importance OF a
profound truth he had discovered and this
was his homely and pithy way OF formu-
lating that truth. 1t WAS only q frank
avowal Of q sentimt mt which many mon
approve though they dare not utter
some, indeed, being afraid to confess it to
their own hearts They wish to lose sight
of God while attending TO business, forget
ting thai God does not lose sight OF them.
With them, business is one thing, religion
another; the one to be strictly attended to
on six days OF the week, the observance
of the other to be confined to one day.
While they DO not hesitate to let business
sometimes encroach on religion, they are
very careful not to allow religion TO en-
croach on business"

Everlasting Remembrance.

Thank God for such assurance. "The
righteous shall be in everlasting remem-
brance." 0 how full of meaning these
words. How tull of comfort to the child
of God--the righteous. There is not
one trembling, faithful son or daughter
of the Lord Almighty who shall read
these lines. but often thinks of the time
when YOU are to meet the last enemy,
and pass away from earth. And doubt
less the inquiry comes at such moment,
"Shall be forgotten? When my spirit
shall return nnto God who gave it, and
nv dust return TO the earth as it was,
will not those who survive soon forget
me? Will not my neighbors forget me !?
Will not nv brethren in the Lord for
get me? Will no: my own relatives
who now love me- so dearly, forget me y
Tie two words above are Gods answer.
There is to be Everlasting remembrance
of the righteous" But you ask, "who
will remember me ?"
The hungry ones you have fed, the
thirsty ones to whom you gave drink,
will remember You. The strangers whom
you took in, the naked whom you cloth
ed. the sick whom you visited, those in
prison for whom you cared, will remem-
her you. They will remember you as
long as life shall last. And when they
themselves shall have gone across TO the
land, they will carry with them upoI
memory's tablet those kindnesses reclev'
ed at your hands, and may speak of them
in the presence of the angels, as together
you and they shall walk on the "shores
of the sea of glass;" nor will your rela
tives forget you. And had you no evi
dence that any of these shall remember
you, still it is true that you are to DC u
aeverlasting remembrance" Should al
your fellows of flesh and blood forge

A Heart IN Little Things.

In the art of elegant leisure, and in
the art of wise triiirc, our people are
sadly deficient. We are bred to bust
ness. We are tempered in high excite
ments. We hardly know what to do
with tranquility. We begin TO contrive
how to make it exciting. We long to
make silence talk. We stir mp quietness
till we get glow upon it. We are for
ever getting up something for vacation
amusements. 1t is riding, or rowing or
picknicking, or some excursion, with its
fringe and trill of excitement. We have
rest in whirl, and tranquility i'll buzz
We want friend or two in our solitude
to take of its solitarness.
There is such a thing as exquisite en-
joyment in simple consciousness Of ex-
istence. But few have either the perfect
health or the sweetness of soul which
this demands. But if that much neglect
ed and much abused faculty of magina-
tion were trainel from youth to clorhe
common life with charms, how few
would be without amusement, even in
the most straightcupd circumstances.
Nature is full of life, and light, and mo-
ton, and sounds, and colors. but men do
not enjoy these things. Nature is full
of mimic life, and it's life is full Of strites,
pursuits, battles, peace, amity and affec-
ton. But then men do not care for i'll
sect lie. Nature is full of grace and
charming variety, Of hue and shape, ol
contrast and analogy in her mineral gar
den. But men do not care for botany.
So then the great theatre Is open, its
scenes are shifted every hour, its actors
are innumerahle and inimitable, its or
chestra full and tuneful, but ''men, having
eyes see not, and ears hear not". They
yawu aud stretch and wish they had
something 90 do.
To make much of little, to find reasons
of interest in common things, to develop
a sensibility to mild enjoyments, to in
spirs the imagination, to throw charm
upon homely and familiar things, vii
constitute man master of his own hap
piness. How interesting trifles may he
come, one may see by reading Cowper''
letters, which, for simple beauty have
never been surpassed, in English episto
larry literature Now a nature profound
ly religious may yet be filled with salts
faction in minute duties and homely ex
periences, one may read in the letter and
iourneyings of Eugene de Guerin.

Kindness of Women.

/ have observed among all women,
says Layard, that the women ornament
themselves more than men; that where.
ever found they are the same kind, civ
il, obliging, humane, tender beings that
they are ever inclined to be CAV and
cheerful. timorous ard modest. They do
not hesitate, like q man, to perform an
hospiiable or generous action not
naughty or arrogant, or supercilious, but
full Of courtesy and fond of society in
dustrious, economical, ingenious, more
liable iii general to err than man, but in
general also more virtuous, and perform
ing more good actions than he / never
addressed myself in the language of de-
cency and friendship to a woman, wheth-
er civilized or savage, without receiving
decent or friendly answer. With man
it has often been otherwise. In wander
ing over the barren plains of inhospita-
bic Denmark, through honest Sweden,
frozen L4pland, rude and churlish Fin,
land, uEprincipled Russia and the wide
spread regions of the wandering Tartar,
it hungry, dry, cold, wet or sick, woman
has ever been friendly to me, and uni
formly SO; a; and to add to this virtue, SO
worthy of the appellation of benevolence,
these actions have been performed in SO
free and kind manner, that if was
dry drank the sweet draught, and if
hungry ate the coarse morsel, with 2
double relish.
