In Robert Lowell's story of "The New
Priest in Conception Bay" there is a por-
trait of the Rev. Arthur Weldon, q Church
of England missionary, which might serve
for sketch of the Rev. Mr.. Ancient, the
English missionary at Prospect Head. II
describes him ms "a stoutly built English
man, not very handsome, but open, kindly,
intelligent, and reverend-looking; in dress,
Just grave enough and just enough unlike
other gentlemen to mark his Office to those
Who would not know it from his face" The
author was once q missionary on that coast,
ard knew whereof he wrote when he made
Mr.. Weldon hero in common life. The
rugged rock of Nova Scotia seems to have
given birth to race of ministers who never
forget they are men when duty and danger
become synonymes.
In all probability Mr.. Ancient thought
nothing of himself when he volunteered to
attempt the rescue of men and women from
the wreck of the Atlantic. The fishermen
held back, and it vas his duty to lead the
forlorn hope. He had no thought of appear
ances. 1t was his SORROW that 10 came
too late to rescue the women who
had battled for ten long hours against the
surf. But others lives he saved,
anu tneu Weut obeskutVay Asr"otA " Cotc lOI
the survivors. Nor vas this all. With his
own hands be helped to dig the trenches in
which the bodies Of the drowned were laid,
lent aid in carrying the corpses TO their rest
ing places, and then read the grand words of
the burial service Of his church above the
dust Of strangers whose voices he had never
heard. The lawn sleeves Of bishopric could
not honor this man. His crown of duty
lifts him infinitely high above any dignity.
1t il good for US all to NEE. such . man
once in while. His peers may be few in
number, but their senuineness of character
exalts the humanity they represent. The
world Is vearied with heavy doctors Of d.
vinity, ma.quarad.ng ministers, and pulpit
dispensen Of jokes. Peppery pungencie.. and
odd verbisge. Mr.. Ancient, in the fisher
mans boat and digging in the trench, is the
erandest sermon Of the decade. Whatever
may be his creed, his acts have done it hon.
or. 1t were easy to follow the Master from
vhom he drsva HE insniration. -EropLic.

How TO REMOVE STAINs.-If 70

How TO REMOVE STAINs.-If you
have been picking or handling any acid
huit:andhave stained your hands, wash
them in clear water, wipe them lightly,
and while they are yet moist strike a
match and shut your hands around it
so as to catch the smoke. and the stains
will disappear. If you have stained
your muslin or gingham dress or your
white pants with berries, before wet
ting with any thing else pour boiling
water thro' the stains and they will
disappear. Before fruit juice dries it
can often be removed by cold water,
using sponge and towel if necessary.
Rubbing the fingers with the inside of
the parinss of apples will remove most
Of the stains caused by pairing. Ink,
also, if washed out or soppcd up from
the carpet with cold water Immediate
" when it is spilled, can be almost en-:
tirely removed. Irk spots on floors
can be extracted by: securing with sand
wetted in oil of yitroil and water
When the ink is removed, rinse with
strong pearlash water.

CARE OF Cows IN AUTuMN.-An
interesting farmer of Western Now
York communicated to US recently his
practice in management Of his cows,
during the seasons when grass begins
to fail. He says the greet secret of
rearing and feeding stock successfully
is, to keep what you get-to save ev-
cry pound Of flesh and fat. that is pro-
dueed. The question lying still back
of that is, how shall the fat and flesh be
retained? What to do and how to do
it is the question. Hitherto | have
always commenced feeding my COWS
meal in October, and continued the
regular extra feed through November;
and we made more butter in one of
those autumn months than in any 9th
er month of the grazing season. |
have pint cup, with faring sides, that
holds when dipped in deep and heaped
up full, about. two quarts of good In
dian corn and oats, Of equal parts,
made of the pure grain. | never
cob my animals; [ am down on that
cob system of management. With ev-
cry fifteen bushels of corn and oats |
mingle, before it is ground, about
one bushel of faaxseed. This improves
the quality Of the feed for animals
of any kind: as ground haxseed when
mingled with grain, is far better for
milch@ @cews, for shorses, forfattening
sheep, or for young stock Of any
kind than oil meal. I sow:a little
Huzseed every year. for. the. express
purpose Of having the seed to miuele
with the. grain that is gronad
into meal for my COWS and other stock.
think this is the true way to make
moncy-to save all that is made with
oqf loosing any, portion. the little
losses abstract the profits.

WHY Do CROPS FA1Ea

1t is SO generally attributed to the
seasons that often the chief cause OF
the failure Of crops is overlooked: and
therefore the>remedy is not applied:
and the same cause.-the bad.s culture
is continued. and the failure of the
crops continue being, attributed to the
oytr-wct sc;,Son or. the drought, or
ubld; &c. There j. 50 lnuch eodd
sense. and so ,uuch which, accords
with our views IN the following, that
VIC make extracts from al editorial III
Il recent number of that excellent agrl-
cultural weekly, the California Far
mer::
':If 4 careful examination be made
in any district where SO much Is said
Of the loss Of the crops, it will be found
as we have always said to result more
from the fault of the system Of culture
than of the season
s:What we say is the result Of years
of study and examination Of the mat
ter Lands Impoverished, lands poor
~ plowed, lands late planted, land I'M
proper IN the character of the soil f%r
the crop planted upon it, these are thu
causes of failure Of our crops more than
the season. or want of rain.
us it any wonder the crops fail?
Is it any MYSTERY? Is God and nature
to be complained of because the crops
fail ? Can lands resist the warm sun
and the drying winds, or can the roots
work to fiji the blade and make the
head of grain when they have no food
to live upon, or to give strength to
work ? AS we'll might farmer expect
his men or his animals to work in his
fields planting and harvesting if he on
ly set the food table once week, and
filed the animals crib once q week,
babe them pick and pick and make it
do. The first day or two they might
labor, but by and by exhaustion, hun
gersand famine would tell, and neither
man or animal could labor-and yet
our farmers ask the soil to work for
them assthey would not dare to ask
either men or animals to labor-and
why? because men would rebel and
stop work, and the poor animal could
not work. The animals might be
goaded on awhile, but soon they
would die in the furrow, while the
oyerworkcd soil, having no other voice
than its OWE, silently says:
"'The earth will not give its in
crcase1 Aud to-day when the cry
comes up Of the loss Of crops VIC offer
the solution We have given Of the
cause, we might add 4 request that
those who have lost their crops should
also read the Parable of the Sower,'
and the truth will appear as to. the
crop and when the sun was up, not
having much depth Of earth, they
faded away" -'..... '.z.... o.: :.
"We look to a growing intelligence
among our best farmers and those
who are new comerS to our State for
a better and wider system of culture
that shall give all good crops in due
season."

The Ministers of Puritan
DAVIS

"And, be it known that the clergy Of
those days were regarded with peculiar
reverence, and even awe. On their
approach the children uncovered their
heads, and bowed in token Of respect,
and yet they knew not why. We bow
to those in Office, power or station now,
but not with the reverence of by.gone
years. Well has the poet said,
sour hearts ne'er bow but to superior
worth,
Nor ever fail Of their allegiance there"
But the clergy made frequent inpo-
vations. At one time they were not al
lowed to wear caps, and | recollect when
the toll-gate boy refused to let Rev.
Russell Streeter pass his gate, notwith-
standing he carried his pass as minis
ter, because he wore cap.
1t is said that extremes succeed each
other, and the ministers Of the present
day are an example. Or more proper
ly, may be, the society Of the present
day is an illustration Now, as then,
