So a State religion can not be a
mere abstraction. It must have form
and expression and a corporeal exist
ence. A State religion-that is, the
declaration of spiritual authority and
spiritual duties in the State-must
have State Church to define it. In
fact the Stat6smust be the Church
These =agitators for an amendment to
confer religious power and duties on
the State are not conscious how cheap
" they are proposing to barter away
the priceless pearl of religious liberty.
But they must see that they are lay
ingdown doctrines which will make 1t
necessary to keep the political ma
chine in their own hands, in order to
save their own religious liberties, and
thus that they are periling the rights
of conscience upon the chances of po-
litical control. .H--.- e... II

Old Love.

The broad sword loses its glitter
AS 1t hangs in the ancient hall:
Rusted and blunt grown the lleen-edged blade
That once so gallant champion made,
AS it cleaned from the castle wall.
The Jewel loses its lustre
As it lies in its velvet nest;
I'll dull and dim is the good red gold
That showed such a royal light of old
As it flashed from beauty's breast
The blue eye loses its power
AS age comes creeping on;
The fair form droops from its stately grace
The roses fly from the care-worn face.
The charm from the trembling tone
The color fades from the canvas.
The magic from ringing rhyme;
Now. is the joy in this world of ours.
RlcheS. or hopes. or flowers.
But dies at the touch of Time:
Ay, love. in its pure serenity
Can the ptiless spell defy;
For tears cannot drown, nor absence dim.
And death itself may not conquer him,
And true love never can die

Smut is not disease, properly speaking,
but it is the cause of an injury which may
be regarded as disease. 1t is minute fun
gus, living in and upon the grain, and is
propagated by spores, which answers the
purpose of seeds. These spores are so
very small that they may adhere to the seed
grain unnoticed, and from these the smut
will be developed more abundantly as the
season is favorable or otherwise to it's
growth. The usual preventative is soaking
the seed wheat, just before sowing, in
strong solution Of vitrio (sulphate of
copper drying the grain by the use of
quick-lime. American Agriculturist.

SUDDEN AND SINGULAR DEATH. Mr..

day, 9th. from the bite of spider. He
was out riding few days ago, and wore
an overcoat which hung in the Office of
his stable. While on the road he felt
severe bite, inflicted, as it afterwards
proved. by a poisonous-fanged spider.
Despite the eXertions the poison extended
through the system, causing his body to
assume redness, while the pain was con-

How TO PLUCK POULTRY. That farmer
whose poultry is not troubled with the
gapes, that has not been visited with the
chicken cholera, knows what it is to pre-
pare forty or fifty fowls for the market,
since the practice of scalding has been We
toed by the buyers. | have known persons
on market day to 60 out and kill a dozen or
fifteen at time and bring them into a 1oom
where there would be half dozen women
and boys pulling a few feathers at time
between the thumb and foretinger to pre-
vent tearing them. Now, for the benefit of
such | give our plan: Hang the fowl by
the feet by a small cord then, with small
knife give one cut across the upper jaw,
opposite the corners of the mouth; after
the blood has stopped running a stream,
place the point of the knife in the groove in
the upper part Of the mouth, run the blade
up into the back part of the head, which
will cause a quivering and twitching Of
the muscles; now is your time, Cor every
feather yields as if by magic, and there is
no danger Of tearing the most tender chick

How Beet Sugar is Made.

The Sacramento Union describes the fac
tory and processes of the Beet Sugar Com
pany who are ROW operating in the vicinity
OF that town:
The factory is a frame bnilding, two sto-
reS high, and about l20 feet long by 40
wide, erected at cost of about $50, GOO.
At one end of the building a tower If sixty
feet high is built, at The top of witch &
large tanl; is placed, and into this the wa
ter necessary to be used in the various
operations performed is pumped. The
process pursued in the extraction of the
sugar from the beetS is claimed to be far
different and mnch better than that pursu-
Ell Ivy other manufactures. The roots arc
first cleaned by being placed inside of a
huge cylinder which revolves in tank of
water. The cylinder is composed OF Stats
placed a short distance apart so as to ad-
NIT OF the free ingresS and cgreSS of the
water. The beets then pass into an eleva-
tor, are raised to the next story above, and
pass through a machine which cuts them
into small pieces. They next 90 into what
are called ''dlfusion batteries"-fourteen
large, wrought iron, bark-l like tanks, each
capable of containing ton and quarter
of the cut roots. These fourteen ''diilused
batteries being filled with bects, water
brought by pipe from tank at the top of
the tower, is let in at the top of the first
battery. The water thus let on eX-
erts pressure of some sixty pounds to
the square inch, and forces the Juice of the
beetS to the bottom of the tank where il
escapes into pipe and passes into another
tank or battery ut the top; through that
into the third battery, and so on until all
| the saccharine juice contained in the roots
in all the fourteen tanks is extracted and
drawn out from the last battery. The Juice
thus extracted is conducted into a large
tank, in which it is boiled with lime and
carbonic acid, to solidify the impure matter
which is contained in the liquid. 1t is then
pressed through many thicknesses Of linen
cloth, to separate the Juice from the solid
particles. The liquid is next filtered through
bone charcoal, and then boiled and filtered
again when it is ready for the final boiling.
1t is placed in a huge metal vessel and boil
ed until it is reduced to a thick syrup. This
syrup is allowed to stand until the grains
of sugar form, when it is passed through
the centrifugal cylinder" a metal tub
| about three feet wide by one and one half
feet deep, with Il tub of fine wire cloth
and smaller than the metal cylinder inside
it, Into this wire tub the syrup is pour
| ed, and the whole made to revolve at a
! velocity of about 100 times per minute.
| The centrifugal force thus created is so
great as to force every particle of syrup
| through the wire cloth and leave the grains
| ofSugar in the inner tub, dry and ready for
market. The factory has been establish ed
about three years, and can work up about
seventy-tive tons of beets per day. Each
| ton will make about 200 pounds of sugar

One of us tried to follow the guide straight
up the snow, but, in spite of Alpenstock
and hands and knees, found herself slip
ping leariully, and her feet and hands
becoming numb, till she was glad to pur-
chase life and sensation by crawling of
one side, and scramblin@ the rest of the
way on the broken, sliding stones. Per
haps, too, she took warning by the poor
grasshoppars, lying around in their little
snow graves, where. after struggling
manlully to reach the top, each tired
jumper had turned up its nose, and all his
little toes, to the sympathizing consldera-
ton of the pasSerby.
