To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
You propose that on o given day Sunday all the
clergy preach from the same text. This is capital
suggestion as 1t will enable the community to com.
pare their Ideas subject; but as 1t may lead
TO difference among them to what text is selected
as the different denominations diner in doctrinal
points, the writer "a layman, belonging to no de-
nomination nor cnurch) would propose that they
select the following text from st. Luke XVI,
part OF the 9Th verse:-"And the Lord COM
mended the unjust steward because he had
done wisely" There is nothing sectarian In this
IL don't open the question whether shen II paved
with the skulls OF children, not span long,, or
not; whether wine and crackers are real blood ana
nesh or simply wine and crackers, or whether one
may be justly punished for the faults OF another.
Hence an opportunity for free exposition Of Opin.
ions.
The public oces Of this city are nlled with these
unjust stewards, VINO Doubtless think they are do
ing wisely In r0bbing the city treasury MI their
own pockets or squander the funds. These crea-
lures weuld doubtless be pleased to hear read q
sermon Justifying them IN their rascality. Some
clergyman may take 1t that James, transators had
foued the text to Justify their shortcomings; that
really was "And the Lord censured the unjust
steward, because he had done dishonesty" or thls
however, the clergy can Judge for themselves.

use. They not only serve for bedding,
making stock clean and comfortable, but
they add to the manure resources OF the

viously fallen down uncared for.
CHANGING over the country, we see,
many farms on which there are rows OF
bushes, brakes and weeds, lining the
walls, fences and roadsides. This ought
not to be. Year by year, these now use
less, improbable things, encroach more
and more upon the cultivated portions Of
the field, driving out the grasses, shading
the crops, and yielding no return Tor the
damage they do. Eradicate them; burn
those unfit for bedding or the compost
heap, and exercise vigilance in their utter
determination in future.
Let no opportunity to get hay, fodder
or bedding pass unimproved. Too little
attention is paid to this, too little effort
expended in this direction. An excellent
time to apply top dressing to grass lands,
and perhaps the very best, is directly af-
ter haying. Whether it be old, well de-
composed manure, ashes, superphOsphate,

a Legal ARecdOtes

In the early days of Vermont iurispru-
dence the strict decorum which now very
generally distinguishes the New England
bar. was comparatively unknown. Moth.
ing was more common than sharp alterca-
tions between the bench and the bar
such wrangliDgs, indeed, as would now
be termed contempt of court" were they
to occur only between the lawyers them
selves. On one occasion Judge Turner,
who was then plain Esquire" had ad-
dressed sound argument to the court
and sat down. The Judge, who chose to
argue the question rather than decide it
at once, replied in a feeble argument,
which the lawyer in his turn demolished.
The Judge rejoined by repeating, with
out any material variation, his first reply,
and then ''closed the pleadings" by an ad-
verse decision.
"Your Honor's two arguments" said
Turner, addressing himself partly to the
Court and partly to the bar, 'sremind me
of a story. A foolish old woman in Con-
necticut, being one evening at party,
was greatly at loss for something to say.
At length she yentured to inquire of a
gentleman who sat near her, whether his
mother had any children. The gentleman
politely pointed out the absurdity of her
inquiry. 4 beg PARDON exclaimed the
old lady, perceiying her mistake; you

Cooling Milk.

DURING the intensely hot weather
which we experienced during July and a
part OF last month, persons who were not
prepared to cool their milk quickly have
suffered q good deal of loss, There are
families that have no cellar or spring
house land there are hundreds such) who
can hardly make butter enough from
three or four cows, even to supply their
own families. Milk, if it is suddenly cool
ed from its natural blood heat at the time
it leaves the cow, to about 60 or 60 degrees,
will keep sweet, even in the hottest
weather, from 16 to 20 hours. This gives
the cream chance to rise before the
milk turns. The point we wish to get at
is, that every farmer ought to have some
kind of an apparatus by which the milk
can be cooled quickly. Even a cellar does
not accomplish the whole object. There
is a patent cooler somewhere, which is
very simple, and yet accomplishes the
whole object. 1t consists, simply, of a
coil of tin.lined lead pipe, set in a wash
tub, the upper end soldered to ten-quart
tin pail. The lower end of the coil ter
inmate in spigot. The tub is filed with
water from the well, the warm milk
poured into the pail, and by the time the
milk Issues from the spigot, tits of the
same temperature as the water. This ar
rsngement is equally serviceable in win
ter, to bring the cream TO the proper tenn
perature before churning, as the heat can
be more thoroughly equalized than by
any other plan. Farmers, haven't you
got inventive genius enough to get up
something to answer the same purpose ?

SeIf.Reliance.

THERE is nothing more likely to result
in the successful career of young man
than confident self reliance. 1t is astonish-
ing how much more youth will accomp-
lish who relies upon himself, than one
who depends upon others for assistan &c.
Having first ascertained the direction in,
and the means by which his object ia to
be reached, let him put his whole energies
to work, and with undagging industry
press forward. The young man who, in
stead of rising at five, sleeps till seven or
eight, and who spends his evenings on
the corners, or in the companionship of
those who are wanting in laudable ambi-
ton, rarely ever wins position of honor
or achieves a reputation above that en-
joyed by, the common masses. s
In a country like ours, where the ave-
nues to honor and wealth are open alike
to ell, there is no reasonable excuse that
can be offered for mans failure to
achieve one or the other, or both. Ill
health, or extraordinary misfortune may
keep him down, but these are the excep-
tons that establish the rule. go
Few men know Of how much they are
capable until they have first thoroughly
tested their abilities. The amount of la
Dor, literary or mechanical, which a per-
son in vigorous health can perform, is al
most without limit if systematic method
is adopted and the proper spirit melted to
the effort An hour of each evening
spent with some good author, or in the
study of some branch of useful science,
will in the course of few years give to q
young man who thus devotes this small
portion OF his time an amount of infor-
nation, literary or scientific, which can
not fail to fit him for positions to which
he could never properly aspire withou
this attention to study Exchange

THE San Francisco Bulletin gives the
following account of an Italian organ
grinder who recently died IN that city ::
He had traversed the streets for many
years with an organ and monkey; and
probably ground out as much dolorous
music as any one of that vagabond frater-
nifty. A majority of the people no doubt
inferred that he was miserably poor.

drive man into such a wretched pur-
suit? And what beside the very pinch of

Music for InYaIids.

AN exchange says: at was the ce,e-
brated German physician Hofeland, who
first fully recognized the curative power
of music. Frequently the life Of dying
man may be saved by gentle music not
too near his bedside. It is only to catch
his attention and hold it with something
that imparts pleasureable feelings in order
to sustain him beyond the moment of SUI
preme exhaustion which marks the crisis
Of the disease. Usually, however, the
ears of the dying are RECALLED with no
sweeter music than the signs and SMILES
of their sorrowing friends. Of course
they are troubled, depressed, and when
the critical breath comes, fail to catch it,
and SO die. There is much in this theory"
Music as an agent for promoting health
is of high value. If invalids would de-
vote an hour or two daily to practicing
vocal music, 1t would often restore them
to health. Persons with weak lungs may
thus ward off fatal lung disease. The eff
fects on the body and mind are excellent

Management Of Glover after Haying.

A SECOND or seed crop Of clover should

Is cut or pastured the first year after it is
seeded down. If it is cut for seed the
first year, the clover will not last more
than one or two years, while if it is not
allowed to ripen seeds till in its second
year, having then well established its
roots in soil, it is likely to last longer and
yield better crops. After clover has been
cut the first year, the field should be shut

a second year crop, and to be cut for 9

may be allowed in it for two or three
weeks after haying, before it is shut up.

On farms where there are a number of
