CHRIST OUR ONLY HOPE.

Lifes charms have faded, now my Lord lean

Peevish natures Gained, selfshness no longer
reigns,
With Thy Spirit filled, sin no longer pains.
CHoRUs.-Savior, oh, my Savior, all my hope
on Thee is staid,
Savior, oh, my Savior, give me now
Thine aid.
There's rest for the weary, there is strength for
the weak,
There's joy for the saddened, there is peace for
the meek;
for Thy Spirit, to wrestle Lord with Thee,
That may inherit a glorious victory.
CHo.-Savior, oh, my Savior, &c.
My heart resigning to Thine ever blessed will,
I've no requiring, on tumults wheel Pm calm,
Nothing now distresses, since Thy will l make
my own,
By Thy love sustained, peace and joys my
crown.
CHo.-Savior, oh, my Savior, &c.
Soon will be ended every sorrows bitter pang,
Soon we'll be landed on the Heavenly strand !;
Then let us gladly onward, onward move in

Though we all shall know that Jesus has done
all things well.

No FEAR OF DEATH IN THE DYING.-A strik-
ing fact in connection with the dying is that
thew are not afraid of death. You notice this
even in executions. The majority of men who
are hanged are reported to die"game." Death
following disease or injury is, with the rarest
exceptions, not accompanied with fear. Disease
dulls the intelligence SO that the situation may
not be fully mprehended; or there may De
pain, and death is looked upon as a relief. Ma
ture, by a kindly provision, seems to prepare
for the flight of the spirit; as the hold OF lie
grows weaker, so does the desire for life grow
less and in scarcely single instance within
NV own experience, or within that oil my pro-
E.ssional brethren, with whom have conversed
upon this point, has not the dying man relin-
ouished life at the last without seeming reluc-
lance or fear.
The several physical phenomena when ac-
company the act of dying, vary considerably
in the earlier stages with the causes which pro-
duce death there is much similarity in the lat
ter steps, Death offers them physiognomy,
which. once witnessed, is not hard to recognize
again. IN
Among the more constant signs are the fail
ing pulse, which gradually becomes Impercep-
tible, first at the wrist, and lastly at the breast
itself; the extremites grow cold; the couhte-
nance changes as the venous blood courses the
arteries the skin grows clammy as the vessels
relax the eve glazes; the jaw droops; the
fluids accumulate in the wind pipe, causing
the "death rattle" SO called, as the air passes
through; the breath comes short and hnaiiy
ceases.
AS the red bleod leaves the brain, the judg-
ment becomes obscured, and the senses def
Gent. Speech is incoherent. Many times
"last words" are imagined by affection to mean
more than intended, if there was any intention
at all. at grows dark" or "more light" are
common sayings as the optic nerve loses its

Monument Association is still in existence, and
he is consoled; that the W. M. A. is still re-

The Use Of Lime as 4 Fertilizer,

The season is approaching for the
preparation OF the soil for next years.
seed. This, ana the selection OF the
kinds best adapted, are OF sufficient
to occupy the mind Of the.
farmer, and 10 Il greater extent than
is occasionally given, when it is con
sidercd that inferior or unadapted
seed will produce, as a rale. An
interior crop Thus to sow wheat on
a soil which contains no LIME or mari
either naturally or artiticially-- is
sure to bring Il poor return. A re.
malkable instance of this took place
in Ireland after the famine. 1t is Il
fact well known by the more inteli-
gent farmers in that country that the
extensive central plain which occu-
pies the suri,.ce land at the foot of
the mountains contains no lime or
mari, and that dressings with these.
materials were at stated times applied
when the culture of wheat was in
tended. The product from an aver
aye year was twenty barrels per acre
(,rish), or about sixty bushels to the
English acre After the famine, the
poverty and want Of heart to do their
best by the land compelled these who
remained ON their taraS. unsubdned
by the famine and pestilence, to omit
the usual application ct lime to the
sod, and the consequence was that,
instead OF twenty barrels per Irish
acre, the yield was from five to seven
barrels. being a reduction Of from
twothirds to threetourths.
There is. however, a draw back to
! this favorable account Of the effects
Of the application Of lime to the sol,
namely that it is possible TO over
lime; that it produces larger crops
for a certain Number OF years, after
which tie return falls away until it
( becomes less than before tle lime
was applied, SO that it appears to have
exhausted instead of enriched the
soil. In accounting for this adverse
effect of what is admitted on all hands
to be a benefit, the chemists state.hat
lime acts ON all the organic parts of
the soil, by which it is rendered more
serviceable to tie growth of plants.
I On the other hand the proportion of
organic matters in the sol. gradually
diminishes underline prolonged action
of the lime, and thus the soil becomes
less rich in those substances of or
game origin on which its fertility to
certain extent depends. The same
effect IS produced On the mineral
matter in the soil, when there is ab-
Stracted from it 4 more abundant
supply in proportion with its imme
diate etfectper Sc Unless, therefore,
an adequate proportion of those mat
ters are supplied in other manures.
the soil will necessarily become ex
hausted 10 such an extent rs to coun-
teraet oY peuua'ize HE action of the
lime. The way.tAereiorc. TO prevent
this effect, IS to manure largely with
tarm-vard manure and saline sub.
stances. and TINS return or repay 10
the soil whatever may have been cx,
