sumption OF five times az much ammonia
as the crop grown will yield Now the
wheat plant Is dependent almost en'irety
for its supply of ammonia upon what il
can eliminate of it from the soil in which
II grows
Further experiments show that clover
peas, beans and turnps do not DESTROY
ammonia during their growth, but Obtain
what they need from the atmosphere amt
retain it IN their tissues Hence it comes
that one of The chief means Of supplying
any deficiency Of ammonia in the snl for

An average acre of clover and pea. con

pounds Of ammnnia, equal in value, for ii
wheat crop, to twelve dollars.
Whether this clover crop be plowed
under as a green crop, or cut and fed to
ANIMALS, and afterward returned In the
shape of manure to the soil, it would re-
suit in precisely the same amount of a,n

come to any other conclusion; nor can any thing be gained by denying or wrestling from its only signifcation one of the plain est words in the Greek language, in order to fortify theory however desirable.
 Did Jesus, then, approve of. or sanction intoxication because He made wine that might intoxicate? No more than He ap- proved of Pharisaic pride and hypocrioy because He dined with Pharisee. Or. than He sanctioned the tyrany of the Ro- man Government because He paid taxes. Or. any more than He tolerated adultery because he often associated and ate with 'publicans and sinnersr The fact is, this whole mode of reasoning from Christ's known character down to the subordinate and undefined details incidentally brought out in the Gospel narratives, is unsound often and unsafe. The argument becomes especially invalid when it rlns counter to the plainest principles of interpretation. With the closing words of the writer ful ly agree that "the intimations of Divine Scripture are not to be reconciled upon the ground of moderation in that which is in- jurious or dangerous" Let us abstain al. together from that which may do, and does do infinite harm, to multitudes. and that on the sufficient reason given by Paul: "I will eat no meat while the world standeth. lest make my brother to offend" Here is ground enough fortotal abstinence. Here is the true basis of the Temperance Reform. Here ''good people can unite. ," Let us by all means ''rescne the word of God from an application perilous to those who are liable to fall''-but lst us also not resort to precarious interpretations of that Word. such as the best light and highest scholarship will not sanction.

NAPOLEON AND VIoToRIA.-It must have been with very mingled feelings that Ma. poleon, late of France, met Victoria. Queen of England, at Windsor Castle, the other day. His last visit to the same spot was made nearly twenty years ago, when England on pended knee received in him the victorious master of France. Then his entire stay on British soil was made the season of one grand series of honors and ovations and when he returned to his fair home the memories of that tri. umph were revived from time to time in scenes of similar display. that greeted first the return visit of Her Majesty, and then the "callings in" of nearly all the Eu- ropean monarchs Now, the poor. broken down Emperor goes more in the light of an exile than aught else. Repudiated by his people, almost entirely abandoned by his friends, and. whipped beyond perad. venture by his enemies, he presents a truly sorry spectacle of bankrupt loyalty. 'sE
