POPULAR.


The struggle with large number of the
ministers of the gospel is to be popular with
the world. This is grand mistake. That
minister of the gospel who is the friend of the
world, or of the men of the world, is not the
friend of the master whom he has vowed to
serve. The most unpopular preacher Of
Righteousness that ever was in this world, was
Christ himself. Even his own brethren did
not believe on Him. The men of the world
did not so much object to His high standard
of doctrine as to His high standard of prac-
tice. So it is yet, and so it will ever be. The
minister of the gospel who entertains his
hearers with metaphysical discussions of high
doctrines, but says nothing about sin, or the
necessity of breaking off sin by Righteousness,
may make great many friends of the men
of the world, but he will not be apt to make
many humble saints out of wicked sinners.
Let the minister of the gospel, however, be
faithful To his divine master, and in the same
prudent way that he reproved men for their
sins and insist upon their living practical,
godly lives, and he will be very unpopular
man among the worldly class of society,"
Men can bear to hear general disqusitions
about sin, but when the thingis brought home
to them, the man that bears the message is
sure to be regarded and treated as prophet
of evil. That man who denounces the cor
rupt fashions and wicked practices of his day,
is sure to offend large number of those in
the midst ofwhom he labors. The true reason
why so many of the human family are nfdels
and despise the Bible, is because the Bible
denounces the sins which they daily practice.
What is popular with pious men is always
unpopular with bad men; and, on the contra
ry, what is highly esteemed by the worldly
is lightly esteemed by the truly godly. The
traits of character, which make an individu-
al loved and esteemed by those who fear the
Lord, are not traits of character that are
pleasing to the men Of the world. The carnal
mind is enmity against God, and, consequent

MANURE FOR HYACINTus AND OTHER
BULBs.-The Towering bulbs like a sandy soil,
but it must not be poor TO enrich it, use
perfectly rotted manure, composed with leaf
mold, decayed sods, or loam. Fresh, crude
manure, either rots the bulbs or forces them
into a rank leafgrowth. In planting, it is
we'll to place handful Of sand around the
bulb. Hyacinths and other spring Towering
bulbs, may be planted from September to
January, but October and November are the
most desirable months for the operation. 1t
is we'll where, large number is to be planted,
to put them in at different times, so as to Sc
cure succession of bloom. The best effect
is produced by setting the bulbs in groups and
masses, rather than singly, or in rows.-RuraI

OUTwIrrING A CoNGREGATIoN.-OldD DR..
Strong, of Hartford, was not often outwitted
by his people. On one occasion he had in
vited young minister to preach for him who
proved rather poor speaker, and whose SER
mon was unusually long. The people became
wearied, and as Dr. Strong lived neara bridge,
about the time for the commencement of the
afternoon service he saw his people focking
across the river to the other church. He
readily understood that they feared that they
should hear the same young man in the after.
noon. Gathering up his wits, which gener-
ally came at his bidding, he said to the young
minister, "My brother across the river is very
feeble and know he will take it kindly to
have you preach to his people, and if you
will do so I will give you note to him, and
will be as much obliged to you as l would to
have you preach for me, and want you to
preach the same sermon you preached to my
people this morning" The young minister,
supposing this to be a commeudation of his SER
mon, started off in good spirits, delivered his
note, and was invited to preach most cordial
ly. He saw before him one-half of DR..
Strong's people, and they had to listen one
hour and half to the same dull humdrum
sermon that they heard in the morning.
They understood the joke, however, and said
they would never undertake to run away
from DR.. Strong again.

CLOVER HAY FOR HoGs.-The Sacra-
mento U.ion says: "It is strange-sounding
proposition to feed hogs with hay, but we
have experience in this line, and however
strange or odd it may seem, it is, notwthstand-
ing, fact that hogs will not only eat alfalfa
(lucerne, or Spanish clover) hay, but that
they will do we'll on it. We first discovered
the fact by throwing lot of alfalfa chaf
from which the seed had been cleaned, over to
some hogs for nest, when, to our surprise,
they devoured it with as much greediness as
they would 80 much oats or barley. Our own
experience and observation since has proved
to us us that good alfalfa hay with plenty Of
water will keep hogs in good growing con-
dition all through the winter. They may be
foddered in the same way you would fodder
sheep or cattle, but if cut up with cutting
machine and wet before feeding, they will eat
it cleaner and do better on it.
1t may seem strange, yet it is we'll known
to great many eastern farmers that hogs
will winter we'll on clover hay and few
roots. Shoats will keep thus in frst-rate
growing order; the manure pile will increase
with rap pidity and be of most excellent quality.
Many a SOW too fat for breeding, kept a few
months on clover hay, has regained the lost
fecundity.

A LONE HAND-Daniel Drew was seated
in his Office one day after his disastrous tilt
with Northwestern, by which the boys Of
Wall street tilted the old fellow out of two
millions. There was a curious expression
on his face, something between crying and
laughing ; and he appeared to be contempla-
ting the vanity of all things here below, or
how quickly millions take to themselves wings
and slip. While seated thus stranger en-
tered, and accosted his confidential clerk:
"You paid me for some stock yesterday do
you remember the transaction p,
"Oh, yes perfectly" replied the clerk"
"Well, then, you made slight mistake,
sir"
"Guess not 1 am not in the habit Of doing
so" said he, somewhat piqued to think that
such charge should be brought against him
in Mr.. Drew's presence.
"But I am sure you did; just glance
over your books and if I'm mistaken, why
III treat"
Reluctantly the clerk complied, and found
that he had made an error in figuring and
paid the stranger one hundred dollars too
much.
Drew got up and approached the desk.
II knew it," said the stranger, throwing
down hundred dollar greenback. 81 make
it point to be honest" he added, buttoning
up his coat.
"Honest, eh? p whined Daniel, turning to
him; "honest? Do you live in New York p
II do, SIR"
"You do, eh? And you are being honest ?
WE'LL you are playing lone hand, young
man lone hand. If you had much to do in
Wall street, you would get awful lonesome
that's all I have got to say"

dog, for which he was sued for damages
They were called into court, and the defen-
dant in the case was asked by the judge if he
killed the dog, "Pe sure kilt him." said the
dutchman; "but let him proof it" This
being quite satisfactory, the plaintiff in the
action was called on to answer few ques-
tions he was asked by the judge at what
amount he estimated the damages. He did not
understand the question so we'll, so, to be a
little palmer, the judge asked him what he
though hit the dog to be worth. "Pe sure, y
said he, "the dog was wort nothing, but since
he was so mean as to kill him, he shall pay

about Washington.
"What time do they dine at Washington,

the gentry and big uns dine at three. As for
the Representatives, we dine at four and the
aristocracy and the Senate, they don't get

"Old Hickory?" exclaimed the colonel, at.

the dignity of the station, "old Hickory ? DeH,
he don't dine till meet day."

taking him up to the bar as if for drink.

to accomplish this end, always keep
ing plainly In view the ends and OBJ

Parker, Secretary of the late Anti

will, like Mccormack, Irish, and the
whole crew of Anti-editors, sell out
the Republican members Of the late

there is hoe of reform in the "putrid

party that has in its time developed
more eorSoption, thieving, treason
and general decentralization than any
other part that ever existed in the
United St6kes, all may be made rich,
honest, pchcefal and happy. The
honest RHpnblicans who will follow
such treacle lerous leading almost de.
serve to b0tleceived, as they surely
will be.
The le0ders of that party to-day are
the same men that led it in the dark
days ten years ago. That party is to-
day In sytnpathy with-indeed em-

of every communlty where ignorance
