PowER on THE SPIRIT.-One of the
most powerful revivals ever experienced
IN q certain town in New England has
brought out cases of deep interest, show
ing the mighty power of the Spirit of
God. For weeks crowded churches
mighty meetings, the conversion of
many souls Of all classes and ages, indi-
cate the presence of God In shop and

meeting together, were discussing the
subject and trying to convince them
selves that it was all excitement, and
That the spiritual wave would soon pass
away leaving the world as dry and bar
rem as ever Their reasoning was a
failure, even to themselves. Learning
that delegates of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association were again to hold a
series Of meetings in the town, one of
the party determined to 60 to Boston
business excuse to avoid the sound of
the church bells calling to prayer. When
about to buy ticket, the voice of con-
science told him that it was unmanly to
run away, and that it indicated a weak.
ness Of which he should not be guilty.
Reversing his decision, he again met
his four friends and invited them to 20
with him to one of the meetings, mere
ly from curiosity. They went together
and all were converted. For months
this town has been blessed beyond meas.

DESTROYING WEEDS.

July and August, says the Rural
Ne'o Yorker, are probably the best
months in the year for destroying weeds.
The summer heats are at their fercest
and all annual weeds cut down at the
root speedily wither and die. The tough
er perennials have made their growth
for the season and have nearly perfected
their seed. The root then has least vi
tally, and if the top be cut off fee
bier effort is made to reproduce it, es-
pecially if the weeds grow in a tough
sod Of grass. We have known FREQUENT
mowings Of thistles in sod to reduce the
vitality of the patch so much that it
would produce only here and there a
stalk until the field was ploughed again.
In the growing corn August is, of all
months, the time to destroy Canadian
thistleS and quack. Keep the plant
down as much as possible early in the
season, then, as the corn begins to tas-
sci out, 60 through with light hoe and
cut every spear of thistle and pull up
every blade of quack with all the root
that can be got attached. The quack
should be put in heaps and burned, but
the thistle roots will seldom if ever start
again, and pulling up at this season of
the year, or even cutting off, is final and
certain destruction. The cost of doing
this is not large, varying with prices Of
labor and abundance of weeds; but we
are satisfied that it is always a profita-
BILE operation on all land foul with this.
ties. We have repeatedly had the cost
more than repaid not only in the corn
crop, but in the succeeding oats and
barley, besides leaving the land clearer
for years thereafter. ~

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.-A brief con-
versatlon with thriving farmer of
Windham County, a few days since,
gave us few hints which may be of in
terest to our readers. He is the owner
OF over 700 acres of land, but the home
farm, of tillage and moving land is only
about 80 acres. On this his labor is
spent. His hay crop seldom falls below
two tons to the acre, and sometimes ex-
ceeds that. And his fields of corn. oats
and other crops correspond to that. In
his extensive pastures. which he is care
ful not to overstOck, he has beeves ready
for market all through the grass season.
Most OF his cattle are bought in the fall,
and large part of them he hires his
neighbors to winter. This is not a case
OF wealth inherited, or gained in mer.
camille business, or in speculation. This
man has earned his success by his own
industry and tact and energy. by work.

GOVERNMENT AID TO AGRICUL-
TURE.

Figures tell us that agriculture is the
leading interest in the country that
forty-five per cent Of our population are
engaged in agricultural pursuits-more
than one-half larger than those who are
engaged in manufactures and the lead
ing trades, more than four times larger
than those engaged in merchandise, and
nearly ten times larger than those in
the professions.
Our government is doing many things
for our whole country. There has new
er been time when our National and
State governments were doing so much
for American farmers as at the present
time. And although we cannot see what
will be the ultimate effect of this aid
upon our agriculture, still there can be
no doubt but that a glorious success is
reserved for the future.
One of the objects our government has
in view, is the elevation of the charac-
ter of American farmers as tillers of the
soil which they cultivate. The mind
must be enlightened in the knowledge
of science and arts, before we can pro-
coed step in any improvement. For
this purpose the government has been
expanding sums of money in collecting
reliable information, and in diffusing it
among the working farmers of the land.
Statistics show that our soil does not
produce from year to year one-half the
amount of grass and hay, that it is ca
pable of producing under scientific cul-
tivation. And many of our farmers are
opening their eyes to this important con-
sideratiOn, and are commencing different
systems of agriculture, that they may,
by judiciOus management, raise two tons
Of hay with less expense than they used
to produce one ton. They find that
there is an inexhaustible resource of
fertility in the soil beneath, and in the
air; and that in outstanding these re-
sources, and by taking proper care of
the elements of fertility, the soil may
be made more productive.
We have no doubt these improvements
will 60 on. The inventive genius of
our people will find a way to work our
problems which we do not fully compre-
bend. The establishment of agricultur-
al schools, whatever may be thought of
their utility at present, will at least give
us the conditions for the discovery of
new methods and new inventions, for
the intelligence of the thinking commu-
NIFTY will, in few years, be very great
ly increased by the large number of
young men who annually 60 forth from
these institutions more or less thorough
ly taught in chemistry and the natural
sciences, and it would be strange if this
increased intelligence did not bear fruit
sooner or later in the practical opera
lions of the farm. We say, therefore.
that the future of agriculture in this
country is hopeful and encouraging

60 UP HIGHER.-The best way to es.
cape many difficulties which beset us on
a lower plane, is to go up to higher
one. 1t is sometimes easier to 90 up
than TO stand still where we are. In
climbing precipitous rock, if you stop,
you may grow dizzy, and be in danger
of falling; but If you push upward, you
are safe. So, sometimes, If you find it
hard to do your duty, try to do more,
not less. Adopt higher standard, 90
up to higher ground. There you have
more motive, purer air, better inspira-
ton. If it is hard to be q moderately
good Christian, try to be a better one ;
you will often find that easier. To give
yourself wholly to what is true and good
Is easier than to halt between two opin-
ions. When you try to compromise be
tween right and wrong, to be moderate.
ly just, to be truthful to q certain ex-
tent, and religious without ceasing to be
worldly, it is hard matter. But if we
say, 1--WE will do whatsoever things are
Just, whatsoever things are true, what.
soever things are noble" 1t simplifes
the matter amazingly. To stand still
and be decimated by the enemy's can
non is harder than to charge, and many
lost battle has been retrieved by q
leader who knew how to inspire his
troops with hopeful ardor, and to fling
them on the foe. 1t is hard to do our
duty, when duty is task, drudgery,
so much to be done every day. But
when it is a spirit inspiring all of life !;
when it is the love of God and man ;
the love of all excellence joy in fight
ing good fight; the happiness found
IN making others happy when it thus
takes in all Of life, and makes the work
Of life its play, then it becomes at once
great deal easier.--J. r. Clarke
