Strawberry Culture.

IAN ID not gold that glitters" Is evident
from the following, which We copy frOm
the San Jose kercusy Of May 25th.
On Monday last there was sent from this
county to San Francisco eight hundred
chests Of strawberrics-forty tons-for
which e9, ,4OOonly, or three cents per pound,
was received. The cost Ut packing, haul
ing, shipping and commission amounted to
$4,000, leaving only 800 for interest on
cost OF chests, culture, wells, nee Of land
etc. At these figures where u tho margin
OF profits! Now, instead Of 500 chests,
suppose our producers had sent 800 and
that ID about the amount that San Francis.
co will pay for 1t : fair price-the berries
would have brought the same amount, with
. saving Of over 81 800 in cost Of picking,
shipping etc Thus IL will be seen that our
producers are virtually giving TO San Fran.
cisco 90, 900 pounds OF berries per day, Tree
or freight and charges, and paying 70 the
people Of that city 81 800 per day for the
privilege Of supplying them.

Sleepless p%eoplc-and they are ma

The very worst soporilc is laudanum
and the very best sunshine. There
fore it is very plain that poor aleepers
should pass as many hours in the day
in sunshine, and as fey rs possible in
the shade.
Many women arc martyrs and yet
do not know it. They shut the sur
shine out of their houses and their
hearts, they wear wells, they carry par.
asol., they do all possible to keep off
the subtlest, aud yet most potent, in
fluence which is intended to give them
strength and beauty and checrlulness.
Is it not time to change all this, and SO
get color and ros3s in our pale checks
strength in our weak backs, and cour-
age in our timid souls? The women
OF America are pale and delicate they
may be blooming and strong, and the
sunlight will be a potent influence in
this transformation. Will they not
try it a year or two and oblige thous-
ands Of admirers?

Night Scenes in the Bible.

Many OF the most affecting and impor-
tant scenes described in the Bible. trans
pired under the splendors Of oriental night.
SOdOm and Egypt, Beersheba and Babylon,
Carmel and Gilboa, Olivet and ,Emmaus,
Jerusalem and the sea of Galilee, have each,
by night. been witnesses of the power and
glory of the omnipOtent Jehovah.
The author of "Night Scenes in the BIZ
BILE" has followed the shadow Of night
across the landscape of divine revelation,
and grouped together the. sacred scenes
which are made awful or impressive by
the mantle of darkness.
He has succeeded in bringing to light
"new and beautiful gems from the mine OF
bible TRUTH" and has produced a delight
full volume. The leading clcrgymen of
the country have given it their most cor
dial approval as a ''charming" and sin
structive" work.
The style in which it is published excels
anything it has been our privilege to ex-
anime. The steel engravings by the first
artists ofthe country are perfect ''gems OF
art" We have space to describe but two
of them. The first is "The Night Watch
in Mount SER" Beside one of the noun
tain passes, with grand peaks towering,
crag upon crag, On either side, stands the
watch-tower. with its solitary Waterman.
just through the pass can be seen the
first bright streaks Of approaching dawn,
At the foot of the pass, wholly shaded by
the ~overhanging crags, a party of travel
ers are encamped. They cry out to the
Waterman: "Watchman, what of the
night" and down through the pass comes
reYerberating that cheering cry: 1.-THE
morning cometh." Again we pass on
down the ages to the time when the long
lOoked-fOr morning had come, andthe Son
Of righteousness had arisen with healing
in His beams. Before ms is q lone noun
tain side, and PROSTATE form kneeling on
its uncushioncd rock. The pale NOON
beams creep among the crags, just reveal
ing their barrenness, the stars shine dimly
overhead; a huge night-bird flaps his
wings and alone breaks the stiffness of the
midnight hour; but glory surrounds the
lowly fOrln-it is Jesus, tor sit came to
pass in those days that lie went out into a
mountain to pray, and continued all night
in prayer to God" 1t was a sublime scene,
and the representation before us tends to
awaken the most devOut reflections.
We love to dwell upon the scenes por-
trayed in these illustrations; and we feel
that no one can fail to be benefited, both
by these truthful and impressive pictures,
and by the earnest words of the writer.
Let parents, who wish to have their chill.
dren love the Word Of. God, and under.
stand its lessons of wisdom and love, secur!
this volume, and give them free access t.,
Its pages.
