Patrons Planting Trees and Vines.

The Rural Sun suggests: Let each
Grange require every member to plant
out one or more fruit trees or grape
vines (Which duty might be held as n
dchtagainstthc lncmberuntil the proper
season occurs.) II the custom is per-
mancutly fixed, that there shall he as
many fruit trees set out rs there arc
meetings OF the grange, it will convert
even fcncc-corncrs into places Of profit,
and supply an immense amount Of fruit
to the country without feeling it pec,,-
niarily or Otherwise. On Old fields
where scarcely anything else will grow,
peaches and grapes, plums and cherries,
may be made to yield in prodigal profu-
sion. By all means, the fcnce-corncrs
around the farm should he devoted to
this purpose. At present they arc usu-
ally given up to briers and bushes, and
form rncoutl borders to our farms.

1t seems to me that there must be O

the corn on the manfred part is much

EXPERIMENTS.

In this region of country, agriculture has
never, only in few isolated cases, been
reduced to anything like science. One reason
that may be assigned for this, is the fact that
very few farmers ever make any experiments.
The great amount of what may be classed as
scientific knowledge, in the possession of our
farmers, has been picked up by them. They
have received it, secondhand, from others, or
learned it by the merest accident. In agri-
culture, as in chemistry, final results can be
ascertained satisfactorily, only by experiment
1t seems to US it would be wise in every farmer
of our county to select an acre of ground, and
upon it make experiments with cotton or corn.
An acre might be divided into quarters, and
each quarter differently prepared and differ
emily worked. In this way, very useful knowl-
edge might be gained. The cost would be
something considerable; but the facts obtained
would be more than a compensation.

REDEMPTION.

The Holy Spirit, in order to illustrate what
is done to rescue man from his lost condition,
and the manner in which the work is done,
often uses 6gurative words and expressions
which were well understood by those to whom
the subject was primarily addressed. The
word redemption literally means buying back.
1t was used in reference to the purchase of
prisoners who had been captured in time of
war. When we say we are redeemed, If we
use the word in its scriptural sense, we mean
that we have been bought with price, and
thus released from captivity to sin. In the
Scriptures, man is constantly represented as
being in bondage. He has been led captive
by Satan, and is under his control, and is liza
bic, at any moment, to the out-pouring OF the
righteous Indignation of God. 10 be redeem
ed, is to be delivered from this liability to
punishment and to be made free from the
reigning influence of a corrupt and sinful ma
ture That which moved God to redeem sim
ners was his love for them. We must distin-
guish between sin and the sinner God
hates sin. His holiness requires him to
hate sin; but still he does love the sinner.
This is great mystery. We are unable to
separate a man from his acts. God can, and
in fact, does hate the acts of individuals,
whilst he loves the individual. The price Of
our redemption is the blood Of Jesus Christ
We must not conclude that God loves US be-
cause Christ died for us for God loved the
sinner before Christ died. Christ died for
the sinner because God loved the sinner. The
love of God for the sinner caused the death
of Christ. In the gospel by John, 3rd chap
ter and 18th verse, we find these words: "God
so loved the world, that he gave his only be-
gotten Son. that whosoever believeth on him,
should not perish, but have everlasting life. ="
This passage is exceedingly simple The
child need have no difficulty in comprehend
ing its import. Every word ia it may be
made emphatic, and selected as a separate
subject of consideration.
The ultimate design which God had in
view in giving his Son to die for the world,
was his own glory and the eternal happiness
of the believer. The advent of the incarnate
Saviour into our own world, was welcomed
by the proclamation of glory to God and
peace to man by the heavenly hosts.

TEMPTATION.

1t is strange, but nevertheless true, that
most persons find no difficulty in walking on
plank foot broad, when elevated above the
ground only few feet; but there are few men
who would undertake to walk the same plank,
if elevated above the ground to the height Of
one hundred yards. The head of the indi.
vidual would become dizzy, and it would be
with the greatest difficulty that he would be
able to restrain himself from leaping down
and dashing his body to fragments upon the
ground. Place an individual upon some high
crag of mountain, and the moment he looks
down upon the surrounding plain, his head
begins to swim. If the summit upon which
he stands is perpendicular projection and
the elevation very great, the light seems to
leave his eyes every time he attempts to look
down. To relieve himself of his trying situ-
alton and deliver himself from the distressing
feelings which torment him, he must either
get out of sight of the chasm or look up to
the blue vault of the sky. This, to some ex-
tent, and in many respects, illustrates the
moral condition of the human family. We
are unable to resist, to any very great extent,
the temptations which the spirit of destruc-
ton has devised. The surest way to prevent
long and hard fall, is to avoid high and
difficult places. 1t is comparatively easy to
prevent some dreadful disasters, by simply
avoiding temptation. There are some things
that, in themselves considered, are not wrong
but they are dangerous. There is no wrong
in boy taking glass of brandy or whisky
but it is very dangerous thing. To drink
daily and to excess, may become, in time, a
habit which nothing but death can break up.
If it be asked why some individuals do some
disgrseful act that others never commit, the
answer in most cases would be, the one class
avoids temptation, and the other goes on,
needless of danger, and finally is punished
Men, by neglecting to shun temptation, con-
tract the most abominable and pernicious
habits The secret of most individuals being
able to live decent lives, and 60 down to the
grave lamented, is found in their persistently
avoiding temptation. The reverse is also
true. Had Paul been put in a grog-shop and
kept there for ten years, the probability is,
that instead of being the great Apostle of the
Gentiles. he would have died a great drunkard.

VIRUS'S CANDIDATE.

Soon after the first Inauguration of Govern.
or Seward as Chief Magistrate of New York,
Virus w. Smith, then and for many years
afterward, potential man in the Whig party
of Onondaga county, wrote to Mr.. Thurlow
Weed, requesting him to call upon the Cover
nor, and ask him to appoint certain man as
Indian Agent for the Onondaga tribe of 1u-
dians The person recommended by Mr..
Smith was we'll known to Weed as one of
those fussy, meddlesome, maladroit, pestilent
fellows, nuisances to any party, whose only
power is power for mishchief He was
therefore surprised at Mr.. Smiths urging him
for the position, and thought it could only
have been done through ignorance of his char
acter or misrepresentation on the part of
Others. Mr.. Weed accordingly replied, ex-
pressing regret at Mr.. Smiths request, in view
of the Objectionable character of the candi-
date, begging him to suggest more acceptable
name. Next day Mr.. Weed mentioned the
matter to the Governor, (who was equally
cognizant of the mans character) and remark
ed that he had answered the letter, and hoped
the action for the present would be delayed.
1t was thought that this would bring Mr..
Smith to Albany to look after the matter, as it
did. On his arrival he promptly called upon
Mr. Weed, who expostulated with him as to
the character Of his candidate. "Neverthe-
less," said he, eff he must have the place,
why have it he must"
"Well, Mr.. Weed, I am very anxious about
it,"
'But you know what bad fellow he isl"
"Can't help it; he's my man."
"But can't you give some reason for your
SNo," replied Mr.. Smith; 81 do not care to
do that"
"But the Governor thinks badly Of this fel-
low, and certainly some explanation is due to
him."
"Well, it's something don't wish to talk
about"
"Why?"
"Do you really want to know?'
"Certainly."
"Then if you insist upon it, I'll tell you.
You know there are among the Onondagas
two parties, the Christians and the pagans%
II am aware of it."
swell, my man is leetle in favor of the
Christians. The pagans have found that out,
and what is more, they have agreed among
themselves that the moment he comes among
them they'll kill him !'
"Virus," as he was popularity called in On
ondaga, finally concluded, in the interest Of
humanity, to withdraw his candidate and
there was no assassination by the pagans Of

THE NUT CRACKER.

Once there came along our way, man who
made his living by making bets. He wasn't
like Mark Twain's hero, who would bet any:
thing from jumping-frog to a well-bred
horse, but had a specially which he wasn't
slow to advocate wherever he went His spe-
cialty was cracking nuts, and he styled him.
self in the bills of the show, "The Great Ar
kansaw Nut Cracker" He would lay around
the taverns loose, and when lot of fellows
got to talking around the stove about what
they could do, he'd begin to blow. No mat
ter what the subject was, he could always con-
trive to lead 'em off on the subject of cracking
nuts, which was apparently his stronghold.
His name was Simmons-Lewis Simmons.
One day, when Simmons, blowing about what
he could do, got 'em pretty we'll excited, the
landlord put in his oar, and says he:
"I'll tell you what it is, boys, what this
gentleman claims may be all very true, and l
don't doubt he can crack as many nuts as he
says, in given time, but there's my public
hall up here, just now vacant, and I'll loan
him the use Of it, and don't mind betting a
lecel hundred dollars he can't crack hun.
dred double-breasted English walnuts as I'll
provide for him, in as many seconds.
'lt's 60, said Lew.
Well, the money was planked, and when
the night came there stood Lew before big
audience, dressed in pair of fancy bathing
drawers, with 6llet of gold paper around
his head, and 100 English walnuts on table
before him. The music footed up, and he
started in, and for time the shells flew in
every direction quite lively; but all at once
Lewis jaws closed down on a rouser, and re-
fused to open, and the spectators were sur
prised to see Lew hopping and twisting in all
sorts of contortions about the stage to hurried
music.
The intriguing landlord had gone and stuff:
ed one of the walnuts with mess of soft wax,
and Lew could no more get his jaws open than
if they had been bolted and riveted.
He didn't win his money.

IOIsIIuI'
THE GEESE AND THE CRANES.


There is a fable on record, said to have been
written by Esop, the substance of which is as
follows: "On certain occasion, some geese
and cranes were discovered in the meadow of
husbandman. The geese being clumsy and
not able to fly, were soon captured and killed
but the cranes flew away unhurt." Both had
been engaged in the same crime; but the
poor clumsy geese had to suffer all the pun
ishment. This, not inaptly, represents the con-
dition of things in this world. 1t often hap
pens that two boys engage in the same mis-
chief, and both are apparently equally guilty
but only one is made to suffer.
In the fable, it was unfortunate that the
geese formed any association with the cranes.
1t is only conjecture; but the probability is
that the cranes took the geese into the mead
ow. Geese and cranes are very different
kinds of birds, and ought not to have gone in
each others company. "Birds of one feather
should flock together" is kind of doggerel
rhyme, but it is good sense. Just so it is with
some little boys. If they would be more care
full with whom they associate, they would
escape being caught in some ugly scrapes'
Some boys, like the cranes, understand the
art of enticing others into difficulties, and
then, like the cranes again, fly away when
the hour of danger comes. Cranes and geese
were not designed to associate together. Their
natures are different. The same is true with
regard to some kinds of boys. They never
were designed to associate together, and every
alliance that is entered into between them,
proves ruinous to one or other of the parties.
Thousands of very good boys are annually
ruined by making companions of other boys
who are dissimiar to them in nature and all
the circumstances of life.
