IGNORANCE.

IGNORANCE.
The religion of some people seems to con-
sst in finding fault with the religious creed
and practice of everybody else. We once
heard of couple of covenanters, sitting on a
kind of bench before village grog-shop, dis
cussing, with great animation, the absolute
necessity of subscribing to the national cove
nant. They were bold in declaring that those
who neglected this had no religion. We
have nothing to say against the covenanters,
or against covenanting. Really, we have
much to say in favor of those noble martyrs !;
but why say that no man can get to heaven
who does not do thus and so, as is en;oined in
this or that creed Our observation leads US
to make this remark. AS men grow in years
and in grace, they see less difference and more
agreement amongst all Gods people. All
men cannot see alike on scarcely any subject,
and what is the use of wasting time in refu-
ting errors, if errors they be, which are only
the result of ignorance. There is in the creed
of all of us much that is silly, and which will
never see heaven; but all men are not to be
banished from the world because they have
some foibles

ROB RYAN AND DANDY,

"Never make an enemy, even of dog
said L, to Bobby Ryan, as [ caught at his
raised hand and tried to prevent him throw
ing stick at our neighbor Howard's great
Newfoundland. But my words and effort
came too late. Over the fence flew the stick,
and whack on Dandy's nose it fell. Now
Dandy, great, powerful fellow, was very
good d.natured, but this proved little too
much for him. He sprang up with an angry
growl, and bounded over the fence as if he
had been light as bird, caught Bobby Ryan
by the arm, and held him tightly enoug h to
let his teeth be felt.
DANDY, Dandy!" I cried in momentary
alarm, "let CO. Don't bite him." The dog
lifted his dark brown, angry eyes with look
of intelligence, and I understood what they
said: IL only want to frighten the young
rascal"
And Bobby was frightened. Dandy held
him for little while, growing savagely,
though there was good deal of make be-
Iieve in the growl, and then, tossing the arm
away, leaped back over the fence, and lay
down by his kennel.
you're a very foolish boy, Bobby Ryan" +"
said I, "to pick quarrel with such splendid
old fellow as that. Suppose you were to fall
into the lake some day, and Dandy should
happen to be near and he should remember
your bad treatment, and refuse to 60 in after
you?"
"Wouldn't care," replied Bobby, Il can
swim"
Now it happened, only week afterward,
that Bobby was on the lake in company with
IN older boy, and that, in some way, their
boat was upset in deep water, not far from
the shore; and it also happened that Mr..
Howard and his dog Dandy were near by,
and saw the two boys struggling in the wa
ter.
Quick as thought Dandy sprang into the
lake and swan rapidly toward Bobby but,
strange to say, after getting close to the lad,
he turned and went toward the larger boy,
who was struggling in the water. Selling
him, Dandy brought him safely to shore. He
then turned and looked toward Bobby, his
young tormentor; he had a good many
grudges against him, and for some moments
seemed hesitating whether to save him or let
him drown.
"Quick Dandy!" cried his master, pointing
to poor Bobby, who was trying his best to
keep aAoat. He was not the brave swimmer
he had thought himself
At this the noble dog bounded again into
the water, and brought Bobby to land. He
did not seem to have much heart in his work,
however, for he dropped the boy as soon as he
reached the shore, and walked away with a
stately, Indifferent air.
But Bobby, grateful for his rescue, and re-
penting his former unkindness, made up with
Dandy on that very day, and they were ever
afterward fast friends He came very near
losing his life through unkiudness to dog,
and the lesson it gave him will not soon be
forgotten.

DEEP FLOWING.

The period for deep plowing is nearly past.
In those instances however, in which the land
was not deeply broken before planting the
crop, whilst the CROP is very young and before
the roots have spread to any great distance,
the ground may be pro6tably plowed deep,
but in all other cases deep plowiug, at this
season of the year, is of doubtful propriety.
Long ago it was thought that the roots of corn
and cotton ought to be cut. Some persons
still advocate this theory but the great ma
jority of observing farmers have discarded
the root cutting theory, and plow as shallow
as possible whilst working the crop.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1875-05-27
WORK IN DRY WEATHER.

There is far more danger ofinjuring a crop
by working it when the ground is too wet,
than by working it when the ground is dry.
Flowing when the ground is wet is attended
with two bad consequences. The soil is ma
terially injured, and this, as matter of
course, Injuries the growing crop. Flowing in
dry weather, if a little common sense is exer.
cised, does no harm to neither the land nor
the crop. 1t is, on the contrary, a benefit to
both. Stirring the soil has tendency to pro-
duce moisture. Common sense ought to teach
any one that deep blowing in the midst of a
severe drought is ruinous to any kind Of crop,
but on the other hand, if the top of the soil
is kept loose, it prevents evaporation and alb
serbs all the dampness that may be in the at
mosphere. A wise farmer will keep out of
his fields when the ground is wet; but he will
never stop work simply on account of dry
weather.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

There is an immense amount of work to be
done in bringing this world to Christ 1t is
the supreme business of. Christians to do this
work. If we may not make the statement
any stronger, we may at least say that little
is done compared with what might be done.
The demands for earnest labor grow continu-
ally, as new avenues of influence, new appli.
ances, new fields of labor are opened
Who shall do all this work? Shall the
church? Yes. But the church is composed
of individuals. There is no church outside of
its individual members. They make it. If it
is active, it is because the members, or many
of them, are active If it is cold, it is simply
the concentrated coldness of individual hearts.
Who then shall do the work? Necessarily
the individuals. But what individuals
Why not you? tits not necessary that every
one do all the work. 1t will not be expedient,
doubtless, that you should work in just the
channels, or by just the methods that others
do. Your way may be best for you.
But in some way, in every way that opens
to you, you must work, or there will be some
thing left undone. This is point we too Of
ten fail to realize. If we fail in our duty at
any point, we are apt to think that somehow
or other that neglected point will be supplied
by "the church." Well, it may be- You
lost that opportunity Of inviting neglecter
of the sanctuary to come and listen to the
gospel. Perhap some brother, more faithful
than yourself, may have done the work you
failed to do. But there is no certainty OF it.
At any rate, it is very poor rule to neglect
known duty on the possibility of some one
else filling up your deficiency.
We have multiplied agencies and machine
ry for doing work none too many if rightly
used. But the increased agencies and organ
izations must not be made the excuse for
shirking individual duty. They really call
for more earnest activity. They certainly
will not accomplish work Of themselves.
Work is to be done. individuals must do
it. Am not the individual ?

STOPPED HIS EARs.-The Knoxville, Tenn,
Chronicle tells the following as veritable
experience by the postmaster at Monticello,

been to school, got letter one day, and asked
the postmaster to read it for her. She did
not want him to hear it, so she took wad of
cotton out of her pocket and stuffed his ears
with it. She then had him read the letter in
a low voice, and was entirely satisfied that
the reader could not hear word Of it.
