SIN...ITS DOMINION.

No one-at least no sensible man-will
deny that men universally are sinners. So
far as the fact itself is concerned, it matters
not how man became sinner. Suffice it to
say that sin is an unnatural thing, that is
God did not make it. Informed no part of
the work of creation, neither is it any part of
the work of providence. What is true Of sin,
is true of all its effects. They are unProfta-
BILE, unpleasant, ruinous and destructive to
both soul and body. Still, Notwithstanding
the fact that it is always, and under all cir
cumstances, an evil and bitter thing to sin
all men sin. No tyrant ever exercised such
dominion over his subjects as sin exercises
over the whole of Adams race. Men sin
under circumstances when it would be easier
not to sin. They sin when they are sure it
will be their ruin. The dictates of common
sense, and the voice of experience are power
less to prevent men from SHINING. The joys
of heaven, and the terrors Of hell, neither
kndle the disease to do right, nor deter from
wrong doing Nothing but Gods grace can
prevent US from SHINING in all that we do, in all
that we say, and in all that we think. Moth
ing but the restraining grace of Cod prevents
men from making this world the abode OF
iends incarnate What we may do if left
wholly to the control of Sutan and our own
wicked hearts, we can only judge by what
the God.abandoned have DONE Thanks be
to God that he, in the plenitude of his mercy,
restrains the corrupt heart of man, and sets
bounds to Satan. Did he not do this, the
world we now inhabit, would be quickly con-
verted into pandemoHium. In fact,it would
soon be filled with weeping and waiing and
gnashing of teeth.

FALL FLOWING.

On land that has not been in cultivation
during the summer, there is, in the fall, usual
ly large crop of weeds and grass. 1t is
clear that these have exhausted very large
amount of the soil. If these weeds and grass
are not, in some way, husbanded, so as to be
returned to the soil, the owner of the land, in
time, suffers real loss. The surest and ca
siest way to make capital of this weed and
grass cropis to turn it under with two-horse
turning plow If this is done it will be very
much decayed by next spring, and will be a
good substitute for guano to the next years
crop. These weeds and grass, when turned
under, furnish the soil with vegetable matter,
which most of the fields in the South need,
more than anything else. When these weeds
and grass are turned under in the fall, two
ends are accomplished. Vegetable matter is
furnished to the soil, and the land is put in
proper condition to be profted by the frosts
of winter. Frost has much to do in making
the soil mellow. A severe winter is usually
followed by fruitful summer.
Those who are not able to afford Two
horse plow, may use, with advantage, one
horse plow. 1t will be found, however, by
experience, that the deeper land is plowed in
the fall, and the more vegetable matter there
is turned under, the mellower the land will
be during the coming spring and summer.
Hence every farmer should make an effort to
use two.horse plow. Deep plowiug in this
case has another advantage. The weed and
grass seeds, when buried deep in the ground,
will not get so near the surface as to germinate
until the crop is so far advanced as to enable
the cultivator easily to manage the young
grass and weeds In this way in some sec:
tions of the West, crop of clover is turned
under, and the seed remains buried under the
crop during the whole of the next year. In
the fall, after the crop of corn is taken off, the
same process is repeated, and fine stand Of
clover is the result.

TRIALS.
Every Christian has trials. These are not
to the flesh, joyous, but grievous still in the
kind providences of God, and according to
the economy of grace, they subserve good
end. Any thing is good that works out for
US the peaceable fruits of righteousness. We
must be prepared for heaven in this world.
Sin, in all its shape and forms, must be work.
ed out of US. 1t is not enough that we have
title to heaven. We must have fitness for
it also. Every trial through which the Chris
tian is called, in the providence of God, to
pass, is designed by God to prepare him for
that rest which remains for the people of God.
The trials of Gods people are not the same
in kind, nor are they equal in degree. The
besetting sins of all are not the same, nor are
they equally strong in all. Still, all have
their trials, because all have unsancti6ed ma
lures.
The primary object of trials is to produce
within US humility. 1t is no easy matter to
make some of the human family meek and
humble. The spirit of rebellion and self
suficiency is so strong in them, that to over
come it, is difficult task. All must become
like little children. We must become new
creatures. Our old nature must be rooted
out, and habits of new obedience acquired.
To accomplish this, God uses means. Some
times he covers us with poverty as with
mantle at other times he makes our bodies
to smart with pain. Whatever may be the
means employed by our heavenly Father, the
object is the same. He is preparing US for
heaven. Whenever this work is accomplished
trials and troubles will cease.

CHE LOST HIS MONEY BY ENDORSING"

CHE LOSI HIS MUNEI b1 ENUUho4NU''
When I became twenty-one my father be-
gan occasionally to divide around among his
children nice little sum to each, always &C
companying the gift with the assurance that
if we ever endorsed for others, or in any way
became responsible for their shortcomings, it
was the last money we should ever get from
him. The condition during his life was OF
great value to me, and since then have been
so accustomed to view the invitation Of my
friend to endorse for him, in its true light,
that my refusal rarel y fails to be properly re-
ceived.
My neighbor is in active business, and |
am only farmer out Of debt, with a little at
interest, bringing up and educating family
of children. He comes to me, holding out
note, large for me to 81 gn, saying
II wish you would just write your name Oh

much-it will he great accommodation to
me, and you will only have to write your

1 should instantly proclaim that from state
of complete independence, and without the

not first to ask the consent of my wife? Her
interest in the risk is the same as mine-her
judgment is just as good, and her friendship
for you is the same. But not only this; l
should affirm before the public that you are
responsible, when l really know nothing of
your circumstances, and in so far help you to
deceive others. give you a false credit. In
short, should do that which no honest man,
true to himself and to his family can do and

friend, with this view Of the case, ask Of me
such possible sacrifice :?
