THE RELIGION WE WANT.

We want a religion that bears heavily, not
only on the "exceedjng s~infuIness Of sim but
on the exceeding r~ascality Of lying and steal
ing-a religion that banishes small measures
from the counter, small baskets from the stall,
pebbles from the cottorbags, clay from the
paper, sand from sugar, chic0ry from coffee,
ALAN from bread, and water from the milkcans.
The religion that is to save the world will not
put all the big Strawberries at the top and the
little ones at the bottom. 1t will not make
one-half pair Of shoes of good leather and the
other half of poor leather, so that the first shall
rebound to he makers credit and the second
TO his cash. 1t will not put Jouvin's stamp
on Jenkins xiii gloves, nor make Paris bonnets
in the back,room Of a Boston milliner's shop
nor let a piece of velvet that processes to mea-
sure twelve yards come to an untimely end
in The tenth, or a spool Of seWing-silk that
vouehps for twenty yards be nipped in the bud
at I45 nor alI-Wool delaines and a|ll-Iinen
handkerchiefs be amalgamated with c,andes-
tine cotton, nor coats made of old rags pressed
together be sold to the uDSuspecting public for
legal broadcloth. 1t does not put bficks at
five dollars per thousand into chimneys it con-
tractSj to build Of seven dollar mlterial!; nor
smuggIe white pine into floors that have paid
for bard pine; nor leave yawning cracks in
closets where boards ought TO join nor daub
the ceilings that ought to be smoothly plaster
ed nor make window-blnds with Stats that
cannot stand the wind, andj paint that cannot
stand the sun, and fastenings that may be look
ed at, but are on no account to be touched.
The religion that is going 10 sanctify the world
pays its debts. It does not consider that 40
cents returned for 100 cents given is accord
ing to the Gospel, though it may be accord
ing 10 law. 1t looks on a man who has failed
in trade, and who continues to live in luxury,
as a tbief-THe Boston CA1 iStjan.

TWO WAYS OF PLANTING A
TREE.

First Way.-Have a tree dug up by an
awkward man, with a dull spade. NO
particular directions need be given in re-
gard to sparing the roofs or to the condi-
ton OF the severely short ones which may
come up with the tree. Roots are of little
consequence in this mode of planting.
Next dig a small, deep hole, as for a post,
and crowd the mutilated stump into it as
deeply as you can; fill in the earth, ram it
down well and the work is done. You can
plant another tree in the same hole next
year, which is o great advantage.
Second Way.-Have the ground we'll
prepared by deep spading enriching it with
suitable manures if necessary. Dig a hole
deep enough and wide enough to take in
all the roots without twisting or cramping
them, Have the tree properly taken up !;
prune oil, with a sloping cut from the I'M
der side, upward, all broken or bruised
roots set the tree perpendicuIar'y into the
hole, In the same position in respect to the
points OF the compass and at about the same
depth at which it grew in the nursery fill
IN the earth carefully, shaking the tree
slightly TO make the soil fill the c~revices
among the roots, press the earth round the
tree with the foot, commencing at the out-
er edge of the hole. The earth should be
raised slightly above the surrounding level,
to allow for settling. If it BE- thought ne
cessary to use additional manure in plant
ing, let it be old well rottei compost and
in no case fresh stable manure. Except
in case Of acci lent, this tree will be likely
to occupy the place in which you have
put it for nany years.

thrifty shoot fine rich mould, which is
kept firmly in its place by cloth or other
bandage, is commonly used in the East
Indies. The mould must be applied soon
after the buds begin to expand in spring
and kept sufficiently moist. The moisture
is commonly obtained by hanging over the
mould a small pot with water having a
hole at the bottom large enough to allow
the water to fall on it in drops. The bark
in contact with the earth ought to be
punctured in several places which gives
facility to the protrusion of new roots.
When these are sufficiently developed, the
stalk must be cut off below the earth and
set out in a place c~onseniaI to its
growth. E.

A CLIPPING.

The following testimony TO the capabilities
of the pure negro race is of value with regard
to Missionary advocacy coming as it does from
Mr.. Hennessey, late Governor of Sierra Leone,
who with all has sought to depreoiate the work
of the Church Missionary Society: " Two of
the ablest members Of the Legislative Council
Of Sierra Leone, are both pure negroes. The
best scholar an the Coast-a man who knows
Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, German, italian
and Arabic and is we'll read in the literature Of

OF the defendants he would dismiss them. which he did,
with the afmontion that II the act was repeated they

fit though Lord Russclls notion that it had much
to do with the Tory victories in the late election and
that tho Liberals had been punished for the Treaty,
will not hold water. The Daily Necs says cleverly,
that the punishment little indIscrminate. and
that the mode of vengeance did not always work
very logically. Sir StatfordlNorthcote, for example,
was one of the three negotiators Of the Treaty OF
Washington, and the constituencies punished him
by making him Chancellor of the Exchequer
The Standard coolly ignores the responsibility OF
of its party chiefs for the bargain, and declares
its satisfaction in hearing one of the most expe-
rienced statesmen of the Liberal party proclaimng
the truth about that discreditabe transaction in
language of unequiyOcal condemnation. The Times
says:
We have heard many interpretations OF the verdict OF
the constituencies but this is rhe first time that we
have heard IL spoken of expression OF resentment
the Washington Convention, Not that doubt that
this misconceived and worseexecuted treaty was an
element which contributed with other causes to turn
the balance OF public opinion against the late nisry.
It's history q painful illustration OF want OF pre-
science and OF want OF strength, but the nation as
whole wisely held that the mischief had done, and,
moreover. the present Ministry by means free
from completely in the policy and in the negotiation Of
the Treaty.
All which will show you ithat the feeling under
the surface about the Treaty is by means one of
enthusiasm. The occasional growls you hear mean
as much as that and do not mean much more. 1t is
not o settlement which anybody wants now to un-
settle, or would if they could, much as they may
dislike it, Friendship with America has become q
fixed idea with the English and they will not read
lily depart from it. They will read NJ. p" and his
English man letters quoted above with some amuse
ment and some incredulity. Pity the name could
not be given and with it the names of those best
Americans who feel humiliated by the result of the
arbitration and who lie in wait for an opportunity
to outdo England on another OCCASION not in sharp
ness but in dignity and magnanimity. Possibly
of could guess who those heroes are, and
tell the difference all the way across the Atlantic be-
tween bray and roar. G.ws.
