THE PRICE OF OUR SAVIOUR.

Judas Iscariot agreed to deliver Christ Je-
sus into the hands of the Chief Priests and
rulers of the people of the Jews, for "thirty
pieces Of silver" or as it might be translated,
thirty silverings. 1t is generally supposed
that each piece was slater, which was worth
about three shillings The whole would be
worth about four and one-half pounds, English
money. This reduced to Federal money
would make nineteen dollars and ninety-eight
cents, or in round numbers, twenty dollars.
This was surely pitiful sum to induce tel'
low being to betray another into the hands of
his enemies. 1t exposes the wickedness and
meanness of Judas. 1t also shows that with,
propriety, money may be called the root of
all evil. This act has secured for Judas the
title of one Of the meanest men. The idea Of
one man exposing another to death for the
paltry sum of twenty dollars, seems prepos-
ferrous; but no doubt there are many men,
at present, as favorably situated as Judas was,
who would, if favorable opportunity pre-
sented itself, deliver up Christ to be cruci6ed,
if it were possible, for far less sum than thst
received by Judas Iscariot. There are trai-
tors in state as bold and daring as Benedict
Arnold and there arc traitors in the church
with as black and mean hearts as that Of
Judas Iscariot Every day demonstrates that
all those who have named the name of Jesus
have not departed from all iniquity. Left
uusustained by the grace of God, and no one
can tell what he will do. AS triAing a sum
as twenty dollars may induce him to perpe-
trate an act which is revolving to humanity.
The more exalted the position we occupy,
and the more precious the privileges we enjoy
in one sense, the greater our danger. If Ju-
das, one of the twelve, betrayed the Saviour,
why may not any of us? Nothing will pre-
vent us but the restraining grace Of God.

MULCHING COTTON.

A correspondent of the Southern Cultivator
furnishes the following. Many other similar
experiments might be furnished. A gentle
man in Chester county, some years ago, con-
ceived that the practice of "cutting the roots
of corn or cotton was injurious. He deter
mined to make an experiment which would
test the fact. All his neighbors advocated
the "root-cutting" theory, and the only way
to determine who was right, was by expert
ment. An acre of good land was selected
and properly prepared for cotton, by plowing
it deep and making it level. An abundance
of leaves and top.surface was hauled fsom the
woods and stored away in the fence-corners
around the patch. At the proper time the
cotton was planted and never after was plow
or hoe used in making the crop. The cot
ton was thinned by hand, and whenever it was
thought the ground needed stirring, or when
grass made its appearance, the surface was
covered with coat of leaves and top-surface
from the fence. corners. The experiment prov
ed complete success. More than four thou
sand pounds of seed cotton was picked from
the acre. A similar experiment with corn by
another gentleman proved equally successful.
From the extract we give below, it will be
seen that the yield was 1900 pounds of seed
cotton to the acre:
"In connection with the subject of mulching,
I submit the following experiment A plot
Of land 1928 square rods, or a little more than
one-ffth of an acre, was manured and planted
after the ordinary manner. After coming
up, it was exposed to several heavy xains,
before an opportunity occurred to mulch with
pine-straw. Then it was imperfectly mulch
ed and thinned by hand. The grass appear.
ing in those spots not covered, it was we'll
mulched at later date. 1t was picked on
the 18th of December, and yielded 240 pounds
seed cotton. The plot was adjacent to wood,
on poor land, and badly manured. The Sec
ond application of straw being taken from the
woods and put under the hot sun, emitted
gas which injured the cotton to some extent
Had the straw been put on early in the season,
atmospheric action would have removed the
resin, and the cotton would not have suffered.
This cotton, after mulching, grew more rap
idly than that beside it, cultivated in the or
dinary manner, and made more. One or two
spots that were we'll manured, gave hand
some yield. Ordinary seed were used, and
neither hoe nor plow was used after planting.
On those spots we'll fertilized, the crop ma
tured to the top. On those not we'll fertilized,
the worm destroyed the top CROP"

GONE.


That individual who has watched with care
fellow.mortal about to pass from time to
eternity, has discovered many signs which in
dicate the approaching dissolution. The
whole man seems to undergo complete
change. The countenance is changed, the
voice sounds unnatural, and there is some
thing unnatural about the whole man. There
is one sign, which, in sane individual, gives
evidence of speedy dissolution. 1t shame
The last thing which dies in decently edu.
Gated person, is that which is sometimes called
modesty, and sometimes called shame So
long as sanity remains intact, and life re-
mains whole, this feeling of shame or modesty
remains. When it expires, friends may rest
assured that another fellow-mortal is soon to
pass to another world This will do to Illus
trate another thing. There are several kinds
of death, and there are many ways Of bring.
ing about this event in each case. An indi-
vidual may become dead to every instinct of
manhood, long before the soul and body are
separated. From that death which consigns
the body to the dust, even the tiny insects
shrink back, and its approach fills with con-
sternation and dread, man, the lord of the
lower world. This is a great evil, but it is
not the greatest evil in the world. Disgrace
is far worse than death. The approach of
disgrace and infamy, irremediably hopeless,
have their signs as well as the dissolution of
the soul and body. Like the approach of
that period which consigns to the dust the
body, their approach may be discovered by
certain unmstakable signs. They change up
the whole conduct of the individual. Even
his countenance becomes changed, and wears
kind of infamous appearance. When, how.
ever, shame expires, hope dies. The individ-
ual is gone-hopelessly gone to ruin. There
is hope of recovery, so long as shame, selfres-
pect, or regard for the opinions of others, re.
main. These gone and there is no hope.
The boundary line has been crossed, and there
is no hope of return. Young man, remember
that an ache which only causes little un-
easiness, is a sign of the dissolution of soul
and body. 1t may be curable to-day; to-
morrow it may have made such rapid progress
that it bids defiance to medical treatment
So it is in many other respects. An evil in
clination to-day may be so weak and feeble
as to scarcely give you any uneasiness; to-
morrow it may have grown so much as to
present the appearance and possess the power
of giant. That which was only desire
yesterday, may be to-day fixed habit, over
which you have no control. When you feel
inclined to do those things, the end Of which
is want Of shame, stop and turn back.
There is hope for you so long as shame re-
mains whole and able to discharge her func-
tions; but shame driven from your bosom, and
you are -hopelessly gone to ruin.

A GRIM JOKE The late Isaac O. Barnes
has been the subject of many good stories,
one of which has not yet found its way into
print. He had been invited to attend the
funeral of particular friend and crony, and
as the deceased had at their last interview,
specially urged his being present, he felt in
duty bound to respond. Arriving at the
house of mourning, he found the family as
sembled in a very small and uncomfortable
room, in the middle of which stood the coffin,
that all might take last look at the face of
the departed. The service was conducted by
two clergymen, friends of the family, who,
with their long prayers and extended "re-
marks" consumed fully two hours, during
which Mr.. Barnes suffered untold agony Of
suspense and impatience. Hardly had the
second minister pronounced the "amen," when
Barnes, in his well-known squeaky voice, turn
ing to the person sitting nearest to him said ::
"Did you know Kid" eyes, SIR" said the
man addressed, in low voice. "Good fel-
low, wasn't he?" continued Barnes. eyes,
sir" still in suppressed tone. "And he was
a mighty smart one, too," squeaked Barnes.
VERY smart" almost whispered the other, as
the company present began to look in that
direction. ayes he was," piped Barnes, still
louder, with one of his expletives, "and if he'd
had the running of this funeral, he'd have
been under the ground an hour and half
ago"

THE LIGHTNING ROD MAN.

Up in Blossburg the other day lightning
rod man drove'up in front of handsome ed.
iice standing in the midst of trees and shrubs,
and spoke to Mr.. Summers, who was sitting
on the steps in front. He accosted Summers
as the owner of the residence, and said:
II see you have no lightning-rods on this
house."
"No," said Summers.
care you going to put any on?"
"Well, 1 hadn't thought of it," replied
Summers.
"You ought to. A tall building like this
is very much exposed I'd like to run you
up one of my rods twisted steel, glass Tenders,
nickle.plated tips-everything complete. May
[ put one up to show you? I'll do the job
cheap"
"Certainly you may if you want to.
haven't the slightest objection" said Summers.
During the next half.hour the man had the
ladders up and assistants at work, and at the
end of that time the job was done. He called
Summers out into the yard to admire it, He
said to Summers
"Now that is all we'll enough, but if it was
my house I'D have another rod put up on the
other side. There's nothing like being pro.
tected thoroughly"
CHATS true" said Summers, "it would be
better"
"I'll put up another, shall ?" asked the
man.
"Why, of course, ifyou think it's BEST" said
Summers. .
Accordingly the man went to work again,
and soon had the rod in its place.
"That's 6rstrate lob," he said to Sum-
mers, as they both stood cycling it. II like
such man as you are Big hearted, liberal,
not afraid to put dollar down for good
thing. There's some pleasure in dealin' with
you. | like you so much that I'd put cou
pie more rods on that house, one on the north
end, and one on the south, for almost nothin.'' u"
ut would make things safer, I suppose" !"
said Summers.
Certainly it would. I'd better do it,
hadn't I-hey?"
"Just as you think proper" said Summers
So the man ran up two more rods, and then
he came down and said to Summers, "There,
that's done. Now let's settle up."
"Do what?"
"Why, the jobs finished, and now I'll take
my money"
you don't expect ME to pay you, hope?"
"Of course I do. Didn't you tell me to
put those rods on your house?'
"My house!" shouted Summers. "Thun-
der and lightning! 1 never ordered you to
put those rods up. 1t would have been ridic.
ulous Why, man, this is the court house,
and I'm waiting for the court to assemble
I'm on the jury. You seemed to be anxious
to rush out your rods, and as it was none of
my business, 1 let you 60 on. "Pay for it |!
Come, now, that's pretty good
The Blossburg people say that the manner
in which that Gghtning-rod man tore around
town and swore was fearful. But when he
got his rods off ofthe court house he left per-
manently. He don't fancy the place.-MaS
