certainly have been greatly diminished in ours, FROM
constant abstraction by the canes, and, fear, constant
waste on our parts, Most earnestly, then, would
en!rcat attention to the careful return Of every parI-
Gle of the ash to our fields, and in such a waT as to
ensure general distribution. ] hope our masons will
no longer draw upon this valuable material for their
colonrng washes and other compounds,
There is no longer any doubt, " saws Professor
Johnston (page 26O), &" hat the inorganic constituents
contained in the ash are really essential parts of the
substance of plants that they cannot i've a healthy
life or perfect all their parts without them and thar
it is as much the dnty of the husbandman to supply
these inorganic substances when they are wanting in
the soil, as it has always been considered his peculiar
care TO place within the reach Of the growing plant

likely to supply 1t with organic food" For the fall
establishment OF this fact we are indebted 10 Sprer-

With respect to cane-ashes, the Professor saws, at
page 529 of his Lectures-'' may allude here to the
advantage which, In sugar-grOwing countries, may be
obtained from the restoration of the cane-ash TO the
fields in which the canes have grown. The ash,
which is frequently more or less melted, is, believe,
applied again TO the land. According to the princi-
plies which | have so often illustrated in these lectures,
such a proceeding must sooner or later exhaust the
soil of those saline substances which are most essen
tial to the growth Of the cane-plant. If the ash were
applied rs a top-dressiug to the young canes, or put
into the cane-holes, near the roots-having been pre-
viously mixed with a quantity of wood ash, and
crushed, fit happen 10 have been ~melted-this ex-
hadstion would necessarily take place much more
slowly,

Upon this, the Professor remarks" Every gallon
ofthis still-retuse leaves nearly 2 lbs. of dry matter,
of which 2 OF. are saline substances. Amongst these
are phosphates, to the amount of about t~wo-thirds of

How is power realizeds BY looking.
There are three methods of looking: ], With
the eyes; With the reason; and 8 By faith.
Faith is the royal power Of the soul,
and is as trustworthy as any. God wants
to bring us to certainty, for no soul can
rest till it ceases to doubt. He would have
you certain of Heaven-certain that you will
see your friends iii glory.
What are the discoveries that may be
made? /. Heaven. Q. That Heaven is
peopled by beings that we want TO associate
with.
Men have their backs toward Heaven. No
wonder, they have darkness and gloom.
They must face about and look up
if they would be cheered and strength
ened.
Every sermon should end at the Cross.

now, thank God, they 60 there to live
Joy only blooms in perfection on the rocky

Heaven. What inspiration in the thought
Of being with Jesus-home at last.

1t is very fatal thing to 1.-Two Journalist.
Number does not give strength to an army,
but discipline. In the Church it is not
formal religion that we need. With the
spirit to do and dare, we are equal to
tho conquest of the world in another
generation.
This tree is also type Of what comes of
Journalism. No fruit here, is no fruit for
ever. The crisis is coming--an eternal
blight! Our labors in the past, in the lights
Of eternity are nothing.
There is one kind of Journalist who never
knew anything else, as the papists. Anoth-
er class who have known the experience of
of religion. We lose by not working for
Jesus.
God converts every man a missionary. 1t
is an awful thing to have no heart in our re.
ligiOn. When l lose the vital principle l
want to lose the husk also. When many
are said to have backslidden they are only
breaking the she'll, they had lost the power
before. Better sacrifice everything than
lose this life

To provide against calamities that are
constantly occurring it is desirable that all
should have their lives insured. But in
this, as in every business transaction, there
are various points to be taken into consid-
Grafton. 1t is especially desirable to know
the character of the firm with whom you
deal. Those who have been long estab-
lished, and are weI-known are preferable
The American Life Insurance Company of
Philadelphia, has been established for many
years, and is one of the very best and most
most reliable in the country, being prompt
in their payments, and perfectly honorable
in all respects. The officers are men of up
rightness and integrity, and by tn e fairness
Of their dealings, have secured for the com
pany a most enviable reputation. Some OF
the prominent citizens of Bridgeton have
insured in this company, and they may
rest assured that when their friends have
occasion to dema nd what is due on the

A Love Feast was held at 9 o'clock, un

3Sl.
] B. Dohane ID. preached from the
words 10 Mat new xxi: 10. He spoke of the
fruit bearing fig tree as type of the genu-
ineChristian. A fig tree fruitless is worthless.
Some trees without fruit may serve incident
al purposes.
This tree was especially type of the
Jewish Church. At the time of Christ they
were backslidden-a vain Church. And
the blight of this tree prefigured their COM
ing doom.
This tree is type OF all formal religion,
having the leaves of profession without the
SAP of life. Because our forms are more
simple, we are not to suppose that we are
not formal. The plainest people are some
times the most formal.
Formalism stately or simple is formal
ism. Real religious life is being rooted and
grounded in love. The superficial, white
sepulchres have within them only dead
men, s bones.-A name to live.
Being rooted in love, is being inspired to
go forth into the community in the work OF
Christ.
1t is true that some Of the most beautiful
things in nature are the most superficial, but
a christianity that doesn't pervade the
whole being is worthless.
Formal religion has It's value. The speak
er treated of the effect of forms of public
worship, and also the bowling before God in
the morning and proceeding to the house
of God as thing for the nation to be
proud OF.

describing this home worship said, From

So say to the younger brethren, let this
be your theme. At appropriate times and
places, you may dwell on other themes, but
when at the sacred desk; when speaking as
the mouth of God, let it be Christ and him
crucified.
With that name upon our banners we
shall yet literally conquer the world. Oh,
for baptism that shall fit us for our high
mission.

in question, and to which the attention Of
