A philosopher, who has evidently
studioi the subject, thus ~discourses
about whining: There is q class Of
people in this worldly no means
mall-whose prominent Ioculiarity
is whining. They whine because
they have no health to enjoy their
riches; they whine because it is too
shiny; they whine because they have
"no luck" and others prosperity
exceeds theirs; they whine because
some friends have died md they are
living; they whine because they have
aches and pans, and they have aches
and pains because they whine, no
one can tell why. Now we would
like to say word 10 these whining
persons. Fira', stop whniug-It is
no use, this everlasting, complaining,

The Famine in Persia.

Rev. j. II. SHEDD thus writss to one
Of our religious papers about theaw-
iul famine now raging in Persia;
The famine is not only one of ce-
reals, but Of forage as well. The
prophet Of old ezclaims, "Alas. for
the day, how DO tue beasts groan,
The herds Of cattle are perplexed be-
cause they have no pasture; yea the
hocks Of sheep are made desola'e,
These PASTORAL tribes have been
fighting for two years past with the
drought, and as the pastures have
dried up,itheir stock has persisted.

railways, no canals, no roads for
wheeled vehicles, SO when the ami
mails die there Is no means for trans
portatioa eXcep. on the backs Of

yatiens Of the present famine.

Cause Of the Deterioration Of the
Wheat Crop.

Frederick Watts, commissioner Of
Of agriculture, in "a recent letter says:
"Iho experience Of many years has
led me to the conclusion hal the de-
terioration of the wheat crop is main
ly attributable to the improper and
untimely use of barnyard manure,
In Il practice the clover sod is
turned down Gni planted with corn.
The ground is again ploughed in the
spring, and sowed with oats, and
upon the stubDle of this crop all the
manure of the barnyard is put, then
ploughcd again and sowed with
wheat. This delicate plant is
thus subjected to the rawness and
g~gossness of barnyard food, with
all its germs of flies, worms, lice and
bugs-seemingly Il sufficient cause
of the unsuccessful growth OF u grain
so pure and delicate as wheat, Corn
is the hog of plants, and will deyour
food of any quality and thrive upon
it. Here, then, upon the sod, to be
ploughed for corn, and when the
corn is cut off, break the s'ubble
even with the ground during winter,
in the spring harrow the ground
well, SOW your oats upon it and r1ll
it. You will thus keep your manure
where you put it, and not subject
the Dat crop 10 being thrown down
by it. When this crop is removed,
bring Your manure to the surface by
deep ploughing and thorough til
lage. The barnyard manure having
thus received proper preparation, is
a fit food for the wheat plant. Ex-
perience has taught me this lesson.

BY Hook or Crook.

There appears to be no want OF
an origin ofthis proverb. In the
great fire of London many boundary
marks were destroyed. This in con.
sequence of many disputes as to the
sites of different properties, had a
tendency TO hinder the rebuilding Of
the city. In order to escape from
the delay, it was decided to appoint
two arbitrators, whose decision
should be final in all cases. The
surveyors appointed were q MIR.
Hook and MIR. Crook, who gave SO
much s~atisfac ion in their decisions
that the building proceeded rapidly.
From this circumstance comes the
saying, "By hook or by crook" :
Profanity never did any man the
least good. No man is the richer,
or happier, or wiser for it. It COM
mendG no one in any society. 1t is
disgusting to the refined, abomina-
bic to the good, insulting to those
with when wO associate, degrading
to the mind, improbable, needless
and injurious.
