HORSE Nor LYING DowN.-There is nc
better way to coax horse to lie down than a
good, clean, dry bed in clean, airy, loose
box. The causes are many; being cast in an
ordinary stall, or getting the foot in the halter
strap, have prevented many horses from lying
down for months and years, especially when
kept in the same stall. l have had horses
which would not on any account 60; even II
forced, into stall where they had suffered
but would 90 Immediately and cheerfully into
any other ordinary stall. Any practical vet
erinarian knows how often horses, otherwise
quiet and obedient, refuse to approach his in,
frmary, and even the sound of his (the doc
Sor's) voice will produce quite nervous trep'
ilation in an animal upon which he has ope,
rated, evidently causing the animal pain and
suffering. We very much underrate the ca
pacity Of our noble domestic animals to ap'
preciate kindness or to resent a wrong. This
is more often manifested by the noble and
faithful horse and dog.
A change of place will often give encour'
agement to horse, and he will lie down, al.
though having persistently stood up in his &C.
customed stall from having received an injury
there, or from its much resembling the place
of former suffering. do not claim this is the
only cause, for have known horses for many
years that would not lie down anywhere, and
which had never had the above cause for this
refusal. Again, 1 repeat, clean, loose box
is the best to bring about change in the
horses habits-Wm Horne, IN Country Gen.
tlcnaan.

TRADITIONS.

1t is wonderful the power that prejudice
has over all of us. The only reason that we
can give for much of the faith that is in us is
"beca,4se." We are ready to become martyrs
for preconceived notions and opinions which
have no better foundation than our own NOR
bid fancies. Strong as may be our pref
udices, the dominion of tradition is not less
powerful and tyranical. The Saviour Of sim
ners charged the Jews with making the word
of God of none effect by their tradition. Much
of the religion of the Pharisees consisted in
most exact observance of traditions. Some of
their traditions at some time, and under GER
tain circumstances might have been proper
and prudential; but no tradition can ever be
binding on the conscience of any of Gods
people. What God commands is binding,
and what God has not commanded, is not
binding. In religion the Bible is the rule.
1t is light to our feet and lamp to our
path. The authority of the fathers and the
traditions of the elders, are worth nothing
unless derived from the word of God. But
strange as it may seem, men are governed
more by the opinions of their fellow-men than
by the teachings Of the Scriptures. Man en-
acted laws, and the canons of church courts
and councils are more promptly and wiling
ly obeyed than the law given by God on
Mount Sinai. More men have been put to
death because they would not observe tradi-
tions, than ever suffered for not obeying the
truth. In fact we do not remember single
instance of any individual being put to death
because he would not believe the truth as it
is in the Bible. Multtudes have suffered mar
tyrdom for the truth, and an equally great
number have been, in one way or other, de-
prived of life because they refused to follow
the traditions of the ancients.

satisfaction wherever introduced. They are maze

that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usuai nd
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnlsned
with each Stove. An important conslderatiodd
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns anu
sizes are never changed. Should piece get accl.

A COURT SCENE.

l heard story years ago, of which l new
er think without an inward smile.
At the assize held on certain occasion in
the county of Lincoln, England, and while a
case Of Importance was on trial, both the
court and counsel had much difficulty in get
ting the timid country witnesses to speak loud
enough to be heard by the jury. 1t was an au'
gust and awe inspiring place to these simple
minded people. One of the counsel, in par,
ticular, had been especially bothered, though
it is more than probable that his own ungen-
tlemanly and coarse badgering had more to
do with intimidating witnesses than any thing
else.
He was selfsuficient and over bearing
man, who had gained place by having mar.
ried the rich widow of deceased nobleman
After this counsel had coaxed, and badgered
and bullied number of witnesses into utter
confusion, there was another called upon the
stand-a young hostler, stout and vigorous,
who seemed the very incarnation of simplicity
"Now, sir" said the counsel aforesaid, in
tone stern and outrageously loud, 81 trust
we shall have no difficulty in making you
speak up."
"Sartin, zur-I hopes not" shouted the
witness, in voice which almost shook the
building. .
"How dare you speak in that way sir p
demanded the counsel, Indignantly.
"Please, zur, I can't speak no louder" re-
turned the witness with volume of tone
which this time shook the building entirely
"Look ye, my man-have you been drink
ing this morning?" demanded the counsel,
his temper evidently tried to its utmost.

"Aha!-and what have you drank p

"Did you have any thing in your coffee !?

"What was it p
"a spune, zur."
The audience roared, and even the Court
hid its face, while the exhausted counsel
sank into his chair, evidently feeling that he
had had enough.

Is THE SOUTH GOOD FRUIT COUNTRY
If the question is intended to mean country
abounding in good fruits, we must sadly an
swer, no. Nothing astonishes the stranger
more when travelling in the South, or on first
settling here, than the scarcity Of good fruits !;
and the impression produced by the circum'
stance, that the South is not a good country
for fruit, is confirmed by our people themselves,
and especially by the farmers, who, with a
few exceptions, of course, will tell him that
beyond Seeding peaches, Chickasaw ,plumss,
and Scuppernong grapes, fruits don't do well
here. The few who have understandingly
tried the experiment of raising other and sn
perior fruits, however, know better. We have
shown again and again in these pages and
elsewhere, and demonstrated it in the field
that the South is one Of the best of all fruit
countries, and Others have done the same
Will not our readers all make up their minds
to plant, at least, a few fruit trees and grape
vines this fall-and to take care Of them after

EXPERIMENTAL RELIGION.

"If any man be in Christ Jesus he is new
creature" "In Christ Jesus neither circum-
cision nor uncircumcision availeth anything
but new creature" A religion which con-
sists wholly in theory, is not worth embra-
cling The theory may be beautiful, the form
may be enticirg, the ceremony may be splen'
did but the soul cannot rest upon theoretl-
cal forms and splendid ceremonies. 1t wants
better, more substantial foundation than
intangible vagaries. Every form of religion,
every scheme of redemption, except that OF
the Bible, is lifeless form. The soul under
goes nothing but mere momentary-a mere
surface change The heart remains the same;
hard and stony, deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked. The religion of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is complete
change in the moral nature of the man. 50
great and complete is this change, that he
becomes, or is made new creature. That
which was evil is made good that which was
dead is quickened into life. 1t is not simply
reformation. 1t is regeneration-a rebe-
getting from above, which is followed by a
reformation as an evidence and result.
Regeneration and reformation are related
to each other as cause and effect; as antece-
dent and consequent. The man that is truly
regenerated must reform, he cannot prevent a
reformation. He may not live an absolutely
holy life; but he cannot live an absolutely
wicked life He may not serve God with all
his heart; but he has no real desire to serve
any one but God. He may sin grlevously
to-day; but he will be certain to repent deeply
tomorrow. He may wander long way
from his fathers house; but he will be sure
to "come to himself" and return to his former
home, A knowledge of this great change is
possessed by the individual in whom it takes
place. He is conscious that he was once
blind and now can see. He now loves what
he once hated, aud hates what he once loved.
The former objects of his affections have been
discarded and new ones selected. His rellg-
ion is not dream-a fancy-a myth but a
heartfelt reality. However sinful he may
be, and feel that he is, he tries to be- sinless.
He prays that his sinful nature may be
renovated, and that he may die daily unto
sin, and live daily unto holiness. Each day
he experiences a dying and living. The
old man, With the lusts thereof is constant
ly dying, and the new man is constantly ma
turing into the stature of perfect man in
Christ Jesus. The growth of religion in the
soul may be slow, but it is sure. 1t may not
be accomplished in day or year, but it
will be perfected in life time.
