UNIVERSALISM,

There are some errors that are easily be-.
lieved to believe others, it takes an effort.
Some errors are so contradictory to common
sense that no man can give an intelligent as
sent to them. Of this latter kind is the doc.
trine of universal salvation. No man can
believe that the desperately wicked stand as
good chance to obtain blessed immortali-
ty as the eminently pious do Men may say
that they believe such stuff, and it may be
possible that they may work themselves up to
give kind of assent to such theory but the
moment they begin to think about it serious
ly, every instinct of their nature pronounces
it false. Ifany one would be so bold as to
say that all men are gentle, kind and affec
tionate; that all men are just and honest !;
that they are pure and holy, no one would
believe him. Not simply because the Bible
says all men are sinners; but because every
man that observes anything, sees that whilst
some men are pous, or try to be pious, the
great multitude of men are wicked and try to
be wicked. Their wickedness is measured by
their ability. Were they able they would be
more wicked than they are. God never asks
US to believe an absurdity. He never asks
as to believe what contradicts our senses. He
never asks US to believe that good man is
bad man, or that bad man is u good man.
Universalism contradicts our senses in anoth-
er respect. We see that men in this world
suffer in proportion to their sinfulness, and
are exempt from punishment in proportion to
their holiness. Where there is no sin, there
is and can be no suffering All men are sim
ners; therefore, all men are sufferers. If men
could sin with impunity, then they might con-
cude that all men would be saved in heaven ;
but so long as sin and suffering are insepera-
bly, connected, and men will not accept Of a
Saviour, but die in their sins, it is impossible
to believe that all men will be saved. "Who-
soever beleveth shall be saved, and whose
ever believeth not shall be damned" is the
only doctrine that harmonizes with reason
and observation. 1t is safest for time, and
it will prove safest for eternity, to accept a
Saviour and do what he commands us to do
To do otherwise is dangerous-fearfully dan.
gerous. Naturally, no doubt, men wish that
there was no such place as hell; but it is
wish which has no sure foundation, either in
reason or revelation. The Bible teaches "that
the wicked shall be turned into hell with all
the nations that forget God" and reason gives
a hearty assent to the doctrine.

WASTING FERr1LIzERs.--A great many
collect all the weeds, grass, border-clippings,
rakings, and sweepings Of lawns and walks,
and dump the accumulations into the street,
where they aid in promoting the more luxu-
RANT growth of large weeds and worthless
grass. All such collections are the cream OF
the soil. This is particularly true in respect
to grass and leaves. But leaves and grass
contain generous proportion of potash, SILICA,
and other valuable fertlizing substances,
which, if allowed to decay on cultivable
ground, would improve its production in pro:
portion to the quantity applied. Leaves will
yield larger per centage of potash than grass.
If leaves and grass and all other accumula,
tions of ones yard and walks were spread
around fruit-trees Of any sort, or around ber.
ry bushes, the decayed vegetable material will
not only promote healthy growth of wood,
but will improve the size and fairness of the
fruit. All fruit-trees, berry-bushes, and grape
vines need large supply Of potash. If the
soil near them is covered every season with
leaves and grass, the mulching will operate, on
the productiveness of trees and vines similar
to an application of potash. The practice OF
removing all such accumulations is prompted
by the erroneous impression that grass and
weeds, if left on the ground, will take root i'm
mediately and grow. If cast into heap not
one will take root, unlesss the weather be wet
and lowery, and the soil unusually moist;
When lawns are moved the clippings should
be allowed to decay where they grew, for the
purpose of maintaining the fertility of the
soil.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS. &C.

WITH pleasure inform all who desire to give
w their children chance for musical edu-
cation, but whose means are very limited, that
have made arrangements with the celebrated
"Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.," to supply persons
with their unrivaled instrument, either at lowest
factory prices, for cash, or on monthly or quar-
terly payments, upon what's called the lease prin-
ciple. Thus any one by paying only moderate
sum for the use Of the instrument, can, at any
time, give it up or become purchaser; the amount
already paid being applied to the purchase. Or a
person having paid the rent for four years, be-
comes the owner of the Organ without further
payment. Call and enquire for particulars and
see the new styles, at my Photo gallery, in the
Adickes' building, where may be found during
all business hours, either to show you sample or
to wait upon you if you want anything in the
Photographic line as heretofore.

Modern fashions arc, in many instances,
burlesque of creation. God never made any
thing as absolutely ugly as some modes of
dress in civilized nations are To follow them
is ridiculously absurd. Dress will not make
man, neither will it make woman. 1t is
the mind that makes the man, and it is the
mind that makes the woman. The most
beautiful creature that God made is woman.
As she came from the plastic hands of her
Maker, she was beautiful beyond the power
of words to describe. Still she is the stand
ard of beauty but not when her face is daub-
ed all over with vile paint, and her head
towseled up like brush heap. Women rule
the world, it matters not who is king or pres
ident; and when following the foolish fashions
makes a, lady, we always have bad govern
ment.

TOO LATE.

Some years ago vessel was driven by Sc
we're winds from the main ocean near to the
coast of Ireland. The fresh water in the ship
was all exhausted, and the captain was anx-
ious to replenish his stock. An Irishman
was taken on board to act as pilot. Before
setting out for the shore, the captain asked
him if he knew where the rocks were. The
Irishman replied that he did. In few mo-
ments afterward the ship struck against a
huge rock The captain, in an angry tone,
rallied out upon the Irishman, saying, 81
thought you told me that you knew where the
rocks were." "And so I d." replied the
Irishman, "and there's one now."
This will do to illustrate the condition in
which vast multitude of young people find
themselves. They find out that they are
wrong, and have been wrong for a long time,
but when the discovery is made, it is often
too late to be remedied. Young people some
times think they are too wise and too expe-
rienced to be counseed They think they
understand every thing as well as old grey
headed men and women but sometimes, when
it is too late, they find out they have struck
rock, and shipwreck is eminent When
ever youth gets so smart as to spurn to be
advised by old persons, Or so credulous as to
take the advice of young men instead of old
men, that youth is not far off rock.
Once there was a young man of great prom
ise. He was the son of a great king. When
his father died he became heir to one Of the
most magnificent Kingdoms the world ever
saw. The father of this young king had been
very exacting man. He had built splen-
did temple, and beauti6ed it in the most cost
ly manner. He had built, besides, grand
palace, and in various ways ornamented the
capital of his empire. To do all this required
great deal of labor and vast amount of
money. TO raise the money his subjects were
heavily taxed, and many men were taken
from their homes and families to labor on
the public works, and private palace of the
king So soon as the old king died, and his
son took his seat on the throne, company of
old men went to the son and asked him to
deal more gently with them. They thought
that since the public works we're all compile
ted, there was no need for so high a tax, nor
was there any need for so many laborers.
The young king sent for some young men and
asked them what he should do. The young
and hasty counselors advised him not to pay
any attention to the request of the old men;
to tell them that he would tax them more
heavily than his father, and that he would
require more men than his father had re-
quired. The old men went away sad. In
very short time great rebellion took place,
and the young king lost his kingdom. He
found out he had acted very foolishly when
it was too late Young men are good for
many things, but generally speaking, they
make but bad advisors. "Old men for coun-
sci young men for action" is an old and
wise proverb.

VITALITY OF SEEDs.-About the year
1850, a gentleman in Scotland succeeded to
an estate which had been in his family over
300 years. On this estate there was large
marsh or bog covering over 100 acres, on
which his predecessors had unavailingly ex-
pended large sums, in the hope of draining it.,
and thus recaiming the land for agricultural
purposes. The bog was in the form of ba'
sin, surrounded by hilly or rising ground Of
the height of about thirty feet. From one
part of this rising ground there was rapid
descent after passing the hill, and he was ad.
vised to cut drain through the bill at this
particular point, and thus, perhaps, get below
the bottom of the marsh. This was done at
considerable expense, the drain being some
4Ofeet deep, and rather resembling the bed OF
a river than drain for agricultural purposes.
The experiment was perfect success, as
the drain set into sandy soil below the level
of the bottom of the bog, and completely
drained it. But the peculiar feature of the
case is the fact that on the surface Of the soil
excavated from this drain, and which must of
course have formed the bottom Of the thirty
feet of rising ground by which the bog was
surrounded, quantity of black oak plants
sprang up the following season. Now black
oak logs had, in that part Of the world, been
occasionally found in the large bogs; but
there was no tradition of any having existed
on the property alluded to- neither was there
any APPEARANCE in the formation Of the bog
and its surroundings to indicate any different
form of the land than what had been familiar
ly known at least three centuries. The acorns
from which the black oaks vegetated, must,
therefore, have laid for centuries forty feet be-
low the surface of the soil, and yet they imme-
diatey vegetated on being exposed to the sun
and air.-Rural MeU Yorker.

GONE CRAZY ON PoLuICs.-A Mobile
Ethiopian thus answered the query as to why
the people there were constantly growing
poorer:
"a fore the war the white gentlemen tend
ed to the politics, and the niggers worked.
Consequence was, crops was good and white
folks had money plenty. Now a days the
white gentlemen and the niggers am both
gone crazy on politics; don't neither Of 'em
do no work, and consequence is, aint neither
of 'em got 'nough to buy corn bread"

A GENrLEMAN.-"Yo see l am gentle
man." said Will Thompson. 81 will not take
an insult" And the little fellow strutted up
and down in a rage. He had been throwing
stones at Peter Jones, and he thought that
his anger proved him gentleman. "lf you
want to be gentleman, I should think you
would be gentle boy frst," said his teacher.
"Gentlemen do not throw stones at their
neighbors. Peter Jones did not throw stones
at you, and think he is much more likely to
prove gentleman" But he's got patches
on his knees" said Will. "Bad pantaloons
don't keep boy from being gentleman"
said the teacher, "but bad temper does.
Now, William, if you want to be a gentleman
you must be gentle boy" A little further
on the teacher met little Peter Jones. Some
stones had struck him and he was hurt by them.
"Well, Peter, what's the matter between you
and Will this morning?" asked the teacher.
II was throwing ball at one of the boys in
play, sir, and it missed him and hit will
rhompson's dog" "Why did you not throw
back?" Because, sir, my mother says that
to be gentleman I must be gentle boy,
and 1 thought it was best to keep out OF his
way till he cooled off a little" The teacher
walked on, after praisng Peters conduct, but
kept the boys in his mind; and he lived to see
Will Thompson rowdy and Peter Jones a
gentleman, loved and respected by all.
Remember, gentle boy makes gentle
