TOP DRESSING GRASS LANDS.

The Importance of top dressing now
ing fields we presume will not be denied
by any who desire to raise good crops of
grass. There is difference of opinion
as to the best time and mode of perform
ing this work. During an experience of
many years We have made some careful
experiments and have closely observed
results, and we strongly incline to the
opinion that all bulky manures should
in this part of the country, be spread in
the fall. If we could be sure of tolera-
bly, wet weather soon after hay1ng or
early in the fall we would apply the
manure then, but on the whole we prefer
to take our chances the last of October
and first Of November
One fall we spread over nearly the
whole of moving field with manure,
but left few heaps until spring before
spreading; and the difference in the
yield of grass. between that land on
which the manure was spread in the fall
and that on which it was spread in the
spring was very great. This is equally
true Of all composts as well as stable
manure. but as far as our observation
goes, not so with special manure or COM
mercial fertilizers. These we would
scatter broadcast on grass lands very
early in the spring, and better if on the
last snow. 1t has always been our Gus
tom to use the manures in this way and
generally with good results, when we
were fortunate enough to get hold of a
good article.
Gypsum is often used to increase the
growth of grass and applied in the same
way that we apply our concentrated ma
nures None of the substances to which
we have referred will do equally well
each year, for the seasons vary SO that
| GHe crops SolneoliHcS ldlI W ucTlFo muCH
benefit from the manure applied. Spec
ial manures have great advantage, all
other things being equal, over the more
bulky and heavy manures because they
are SO easy of application. When grass
lands are top dressed once in two years
the grass is quite likely to remain of
good quality as we'll as to yield good
crop. Years ago when more actively
engaged in farming than now, we sell
dom failed to top dress our grass lands.
and we advise this course to all who
wish to secure large crops from limited
areas.

The CIRoUs.-A circus came to town,
and everybody knows how the music and
the grand tent and horses set all the
boys agog. Shillings and sixpenscs are
in great demand; and many choice
bit of money have the circus riders car
ried away, which was meant for better
purposes.
A little boy was seen looking round
the circus tent with a good deal of curl
osity. "Hollo, Johnny" said man
who knew him, "going to the circus ?"
"No, sir" answered Johnny, 'father

"Oh well, I'll give you money to 60,

The SABBATH.-The London Watch
man (Wesleyan) advocates Sunday re-
form in England, where the continental
observance" of the day seems to be en-
croaching nearly as fast as here. The
Waterman says:
"We repudiate altogether the notion
that the Sabbath is merely Jewish rite.
1t was made for man. not for the Jew
or the Gentle as such, but for the hui
man race. Wherever there is man
there ought to be Sabbath. The evil
dence in favor of the continual observe
ance is as strong as that which maintains
the original appointment. Archdeacon
Paley, who was unhappily one of the
modern leaders of the attack upon Sab
bath obligation, and who has had many
followers, confesses that if the appoint
ment was made at the creation, it must
be binding upon all who come to the
knowledge of it. unless repealed by
some subsequent and formal enactment,
and of such repeal no shred of authority
is alleged. The place which the Sab
bath has in the Decalogue furnishes
overwhelming proof. If the ten COM
mandments are binding upon christians,
they are all and altogether binding
Break through the universal obligation.
and then all must 60. We hold hard
by Sinai's law, which has been rather
confirmed than abrogated by the gospel
of Christ. Both the Old and New Tes.
lament are marked by strong teaching
on the question of obligation. Every
where the breach of the law is con
demned, and the faithful observance o
it commended. Moreover the Sabbath
is type of heaven. A type is both
phrophecy and promise of somethin.
to be by and by realized. The typ
cannot be dispensed with till the anti
type comes; the Sabbath must remain
till the new heavens appear"

DRINKING WINE. - The man who
drinks wine, and thus encourages the
practice in others who will graduate in
whiskey drinking and in drunkenness,
pays tremendous price for these pleas
ant affiliations of the palate. 1t would
seem as if the satisfaction of self-denial
in such circumstances would be far great
er than that of self-indulgence. But
of wine drinking in parties there can be
but one opinion. Putting it on the
purely selfish ground of the party-goer,
Rev. I. K. Beecher convincingly says !:
Good men differ as to the use and
value of intoxicating drinks, but all will
agree that if they are ever quite unnec-
essary it is at gay festivals which are
already over-rich with excitement
Gather under one roof one hundred
healthy, happy people and the mere
gathering is a vortex of excitement
Add now tea, coffee, bright lights, music,
dress that sets off either sex to the fac
ination of the other: add also the dance,
late hours, and the fever that supervenes
when the sleep is postponed-here is too
much already. To add more is wicked.
Without the wines and liquors the cheeks
of all are flushed, and their eyes flash
and shine: talk multiplies, and laughter
grows loud, as the merry dance goes on.
That fire needs no tanning, it-is hot
enough now.
A young man often supposes himself
more entertaining when he has tasted a
little punch, or slipped glass of sherry.
He certainly seems more fluent and
snowy. But to others he seems only a
little noiser than common. Wine is a
mocker. He is fooled by it. Young
man, go to the girl you talked to at the
last party, and ask her to tell you truly
if she was not ashamed of your company
during the latter part of the evening.
Who that has come to the age and hon.
ors of householder does not know the
extreme dangers that attend upon even
moderate drinking? How then can any
householder dare to set before young
men the sparkling facinations of that
drink room We repeat: Differ as men
may as to the value of intoxicating
drinks, all must agree that the excite.
ment of fashionable dress and dancing
parties is full high and hot without helI
from wines and Whistles.

ANGRY WoRDs.-It is an excellent
thing to have good memory as rule,
but it is quite as good to have poor
one sometimes. There are some things
it would be such blessing to forget
Angry remarks and bitter retorts are
among them; but, alas thousand
good words are forgotten, but bad one
is remembered forever. 1t is far easier
to learn an idle, senseless jingle of
rhymes than beautiful hymn or poem.
Do not waste your time and attention
over what you would some day give
much to forget. Slanderous words are
far better forgotten than remembered.
One of the best helps to forgetting is
never to speak of them, not even in a
whisper. If you hear a playmate say
something unkind of another, keep it to
yourself; she will forget it pretty soon,
and feel as kindly as ever towards the
person. But if you tell it, what a storm
you will raise How the girls will take
sides and two parties will be formed
and very likely the girls parents will
join the quarrel, and the whole neigh
borhood will be in great uproar JUS
because of that cross word you had 81
much better let die. What would you
think of a person who went along pick
ing up all the old burs and thistles h,
could find, and then fastening them OF
to the people? just such nuisances ar
these malicious, thoughtless words
Don't pick them up, and they will d
but little hurt.
