FOR TWO WORLDS.

Gods special blessing must be sought con:
tinually in connection with business cares and
labors. Faith must make its appeal to the
Heavenly Father, to keep the soul amid the
many and powerful temptations which are
found in all the walks of secular life. Re.
course must be had to the sympathy and aid
of that Jesus who for thirty years quietly
followed the occupation of carpenter, and
who we'll knows the trials which belong to
thsppoor in their struggles to obtain the ne
cessaries of life. As nothing is more regular
than business, claiming as it does steady at
tention for many hours each day, so the Chris
tian must be regular in seeking Divine help
for the discharge of its many duties. Ills
closet must witness daily supplication for the
needed grace, and often must an ejacuatory
prayer 60 up at the very moment OF tempta'
ton. And no petition has more reason tor
faith in a favorable answer, since God must
surely care for that which occupies SO large a
part of the lives of his people There will
come also special occasions Of trial, when the
man of business will be at his wits end, and
when God only can help and give peace and
crushing burdens of responsibility and IN
rushing tides of anxiety. These are the times
when Satan presses upon the soul for its over.
throw, suggesting plans of evil and doubts of
Gods good providence, and when the soul
must consequently draw very near to God,
and cast itself Internationally upon the
promises. And, in addition to these specific
requests, the Christian must balance the
worldly tendencies of business pursuits by a
careful use of the means of grace. If his
business presses, he is the last man that should
neglect family worship or the weekly prayer
meeting. He must hold OH to the invisible
world by all possible means, and must keep
open the channels by which spiritual inau-
ences flow in upon the heart. The Bible
must be his daily counsellor. Through such
means he will preserve the tone of his mind
amid the excitement of secular life, and will
live in true sense for two worlds s.-America'

agricultural Department,
PLANTING CORN.

Some of our best farmers, including such
men as John Johnston, have ascertained from
thorough experiment, that corn planted in
drills will yield about twenty-five per cent.
more than in hills in the common way. The
more even distribution of the plants in the
drills admits larger number Of fully devel-
oped stalk; and greater product in grain,
and one-half more of fodder, may be grown
upon an acre of land. The objection to drills
is the increased labor of hand .hoeing. In
weedy soils this objection may be strong one !;
but on the grounds of good farmers, who keep
their land clear by good cultivation and good
rotation, it is of small magnitude. Our own
repeated experiments prove that on land
which will give forty bushels per acre by
common hill culture, we may rely on titty-tve
bushels from we'll cultivated drills, or an
increase of fifteen bushels-enough to pay for
seven days labor in hoeing, which is three
times as great as the actual difference between
hills and drill on clean land, to say nothing
of the increase in the amount Of stalks for
fodder There are some farms, we admit,
which are so poor and so full of weeds, that
the extra labor of hoeing drills would exceed
the increase we have mentioned, and on these
farms the old mode will be continued.
After testing different modes of applying
manure, we find the greatest return from Its
application by spreading it on sod in fall or
winter, and inverting this sod by shallow
ploughing just before planting. There may bo
soils where early ploughing and subsequent
working of the top Of sod may answer best,
but the practice of planting Immediately after
ploughing and narrowing the fresh and moist
surface, answers the purpose best on good
friable loan. This practice can be adopted
only with drills, which are planted as the field
is ploughed, while the whole field must be
first finished before the land can be marked
out for hill sowing both ways. The plough
ing, narrowing, and planting may all 60 on
together. The advantages of the practice are,
/. The earth is fresh, moist, and mellow for
the reception of the seed !; 3. THERE'S no danger
of this corn failing to grow in consequence OF
dried Jumps 3 The corn is planted as fast as
ploughed, without any delays resulting from
intervening storms and 4. The young plants
come up and keep ahead Of the weeds, if there
be any in the soil, and these do not have time
to make any headway before the crop.
In planting according to this mode, it will
save labor in dressing to use machine for
the purpose, because the rows may be thus
made evener and straighter, or if there be
curves, they will be long, and will not interfere
with easy cultivation. A. Country Gentleman.

How TO Put AWAY Your FAuLTs.-One
day I was watching great Newfoundland
dog. He had been told by his master to
fetch him a basket of tools that the gardener
had left in the shed. The great dog went to
obey his young master. He took hold of the
basket with his mouth, but he could not lift
it. What did he do? Give it up. No,
never! One by one he took the things out
Of the basket and carried them to his master.
One by one! That is what we must try to
do with our faults Try and get rid Of them
one by one Jesus knows how hard it is for
you to do this, and so He has given you a
word that will help you to do it, and that
word is "To.day."
will show you how. Take one fault-we
will call it bad temper-and in the morning,
when you get out of bed, ask God for Christs
sake to he p you "to-day" to overcome that
bad temper. Perhaps by and by something
will begin to make you feel angry then re-
member your prayer, and try and drive away
the angry feeling and say "Not to-day"
If YOU have learned any bad, wicked words
like some poor children in the street who do
not know any better, then ask God for Jesus
sake to help you to-day then when you are
tempted to do so, remember, "Not to-day; l
will not say any wicked words to-day"
And do the same with all your faults.
Take them one by one, and try for one whole
day not to give away to them. 1t will come
much easier then.

sg~ A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
has practiced shallow planting corn to avoid
the cut worm for more than 20 years. Tie
says cut worms always burrow in the hill
around the stalk, previous to cutting off.
Shallow covering gives them no chance to
burrow, and if they should, the sun will soon
drive them from their place. They univer.
sally select their position in the day time, and
commit their depredations at night. In shall
low covering the seed gets warm and starts
much quicker than when covered deep.

WATCHING.

A general after gaining great victory was
encamping with his army for the night. He
ordered sentinels to be stationed all around
the camp as usual. One of the sentinels, as
he went to his station, grumbled to himself,
and said, "Why could not the general let us
have queit lights rest for once, after beat
ing the enemy? I'm sure there is nothing to
be afraid of"
The man then went to his station, and stood
for some time looking about him. 1t was a
summers night, with harvest moon, but he
could see nothing anywhere; so he said, 81
am terribly tired, | shall sleep for just five
minutes, out of the moonlight, under the
shadow of this tree" So he lay down.
Presently he started up, dreaming that
some one had pushed lantern before his
eyes, and he found that the moon was shining
brightly down on him through hole in the
branches of the tree above him. The next
minute an arrow whizzed past his ear, and
the whole field before him seemed alive with
soldiers in dark green coats, who sprang up
from the ground where they had been silently
creeping onward and rushed toward him.
Fortunately the arrow had missed him ; so
he shouted aloud to give the alarm, and ran
back to some other sentinels. The army was
thus saved; and the soldier said, 81 shall
never forget, as long as live, that when one
is at war one must watch
Our whole life is war with Evil. Just
after we have conquered it, it sometimes at

and we are not on our guard, and do not re-

Our visitors intend remaining two days at

In the programme arranged for to-day, in
addition to the Base Ball match, which takes
place at the Park at $50 o'clock, to reach

is to be grand trip across the lake on the

The People will have the Fruits of Their
Victory.

1t is quite evident that the leading Radicals
in this State are connecting some scheme to
defraud the people again out of the victory
they have won at the polls. If they make
such an attempt, will our people stand it?
We feel justified in saying they will not. If
the villainous rascals have not learned any
thing from the proceedings OF the 14th OF Sep
TENDER. it will be high time Tor the people to
again have rehearsal OF the proceedings of
| that day, with more vigorous emphasis placed
on certain points where mild hammered good

What the people want. and what they in
tend to have at all hazards, is the fruits of
their victory. In the parishes where the Radi-
calls have elected their officers, we say en-
phaticaily they will have them without a
murmur; but in the parishes where the Dem
ocrats have elected their officers, they ,cM
have them let the consequences be what they

We believe the people are a unit on this
matter, and it is Of but little consequence to
them what plans Mr.. Packard and his Cocoon
spirators may concoct to cheat them, they will |
have what is rightly theirs if they have to fight
for it.
The most sensible thing Mr.. Packard, Kel-
logs 4 Co., can do is to keep clear OF any
