ag The church is constantly losing those
who have become distinguished by their in
Auence and piety. Locally and at large,
there is constant mourning for some one who
has been called away. But the work goes
on. 1t depends not on men but on God, who
supplies new instruments as old ones are re-
moved. This church, this cause, this enter
prise, will not fail because some honored help
er has been taken to his reward. 1t is Gods
work and he will secure it against defeat
And amid all the changes of men, one gene
ration coming, and another going, Jesus
Christ remains "the same yesterday, to-day
and forever" In double sense, therefore,
when good men die we mourn not as they who
who have no hope

A SUBLIME REAsoN-A new contributor
at Dover, n. H., sends US the following anec-
dote: In Durham, few miles from here,
lived severe old fellow, whom the world
called "Elder Pratt" who got the title from
his very grave manner, which WAS carried
into all the details of life. There we're times
when he would succumb to the tempter, but
even when inebriated, he would preserve the
same grave demeanor toward his neighbors
and associates, but to his family at home he
was at times very severe One Saturday
night the neighbors were disturbed by the
shrieks of his wife, and going in they found
the "Elder" belaboring his better half with a
bride. Hello" cried one of them, "what's
the matter, Elder ?-what are you doing that
for?" "Pm endeavoring," said he, with great
deliberation, the bride still suspended, "to
impress upon her mind the great fact that
there's God in Israel"
n@ An Irishman was once taken to see the
wonders of Niagara Falls. He did not seem
to think it tremendous after all. His friend
asked him, "Don't you think it a wonderful
thing?" "Why is it wonderful thing ?"
asked the Irishman. "Don't you see," said
his friend, "that immense body Of water roll
ing down this precipice?" Says he-"what's
to hinder it?"

COMPOST FOR FLowERs.-In cleaning off
the garden and flower borders, there is more
or less of leaves, litter, etc., that must be dis
posed ofin some way. Take it and make the
basis for compost heap for the winter; empty
all the coal and wood ashes of the house over
it, as they accumulate from time to time; ;
save all the bones and refuse Of the kitchen,
and all the greasy dishwater, and the cham
ber-lye, and add then daily to the heap.
Gather, if you can, from the blacksmith-shop
or elsewhere, iron: filings or scales from the
hammering of heated or rusty iron, the par
ings of hcrse.hoofs, and, with little of sharp,
sandy soil, add them to the heap. This well
mixed, in the spring, will form one of the
cheapest fertilizers for all kinds of flowers in
the omen border. r.-HorticuHwist

CLovER.-We have given the first place to
the pea, because of its adaptabiity to great
er variety of soils, and its ability to grow
upon poor land. But on suitable soil, clover
is the humus and nitrogen furnishing crop.
AS we have stated on former occasions, clover
may be sown in February on growing crop
of small grain. and the expense be only the
cost of the seed and labor of scattering them.
Ten pounds, or one-sixth of bushel of seed,
is the quantity usually sown on one acre.
Supposing bushel to cost ten dollars, Ga full
price, the cost per acre will be only s1.66-
very little more than the value Of the peas
required to SOW an acre of land. Moreover,
two crops of hay can be taken from the land,
and the latter then left better supplied with
humus and nitrogen, than if two crops of pea
vines had been turned under by the plow.-

FACTS ABOUT WHEAr-I will record some
facts which I have observed. When the
season for sowing was wet and rainy, the
crop usually rusted. have never seen de-
structiye rust on land manured by cattle in
summer pens. I have seen farms manured
by leached ashes escape rust, when all around
was affected by it. Experience has taught
me that whenever rust has taken full posses
sion of the blade, if the wheat is in the dough
state, it ought to be harvested, as then you
will get more and better wheat. Indeed, as
soon as the first appearance is perceived on
the stalk, when wheat has reached the dough
state, it ought to be cut; it will be heavier
and make more and better flour than could be
obtained by leaving it longer standing.-PIaa-

FEW WORDS OF ADVICE.

Advice is, as a rule, only accepted as far as
it agrees with the views and inclinations Of
those advised. We know this, and neverthe-
less give it, because we consider it our duty to
do 80. If the advice given is not taken, we
have at least done our duty toward our readers.
At the present season Of the year, farmers
are, more or less, making up their minds how
to operate, what to plant, and how much to
plant of the different crops. To come to a
correct conclusion on this point is a most i'm.
portant and vital part of the numerous duties
farmer has to perform. A mistake here
may have the most fatal results as to the pro-
duction of the farm. No one should stake
his all on one special crop, except heavy loss
would not affect him, and even then, it would
not be so wise. We cannot sufficiently i'm
press it on the minds of our farmers to seek
prosperity in the cultivation Of different crops
in such proportions as not to make the failure
of one, or even two, disastrous and draw
back to next years operations Farmers, as
a rule, should not cultivate more than one
fifth of their arabic land in cotton. By re-
ducing the quantity of soil to be titled in this
laborious and misunderstanding crop, they
will be enabled to spend so much more and
thorough labor, and fertlize so much better,
that twenty-acre field will yield as much as
one hundred acres cultivated in the old negli-
gent way, without any or only a fraction of
manure. We know, from experience, the
temptation of planting large area, but bitter
experience of years has at last brought us to
accept a small field thoroughly cultivated
and manured We have yet to hear a COM
plant from the first one that has had charac-
ter enough to accept this principle. Invaria.
bly,, on such farms, prosperity-and plenty of
that is needed to comfort man and be .st-is
found and, although the farmer may handle
less money, he is sure that more of the money
he handles will remain in his pocket
Farmers, adopt rotation; plant plenty of
forage and feed-stuff; have plenty of cattle
and sheep; feed them we'll, and they will re-
turn to you ample compensation for what
you have done for them-both in cash, as we'll
as by their manure, which will enrich and
improve your land permanently. If you do
not do it now, of your own free will, the time
will come when you will be compelled to do so !;
and then your change may not be half so
good as if you resolve to do it now, while you
have the means to carry it out to advantage
