STAND FAST.

In the last days many shall be as
"clouds without water, carried about

special per:ls of these ''perilous times.
The winds are let loose, and are now
performing their awful work of tossing
hither and thither these empty clouds.
Hence the instability that prevails.
Men are ''carried about with wind OF
doctrine" They are not ''rooted and
grounded in love-" and having never
tasted that the Lord is gracious" nor
rested their weary souls on Him, they
go about seeking they know not what.
Ttay want something that will fill
them, but not going to the Divine full.

wander on in sadness of spirit, vainly
trying to sooth their uneasy souls with
every new doctrine of device that meets
them in the wayl All is vain. For
what can we substitute for God and
His free love!
Amid all this instability, let us
stand fast in the faith" Let us be
''strong in the grace that is in Christ
Jesus" Let us beware of novelties in
religion. Let us guard against tickle
ness of opinion and hastiness of decis-
ion. Satan will let lose his LASTS and
call up his storm; let us only moor
our vessel firmer, and keep fast hold OF
Tue anchor, which is sure and stead
iast' and which entereth into that
which is within the veil" Thus, in

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES IN SEP.
TENDER.

A reader of Scribner living in New
Jersey writes to know if strawberries
planted in the early part of September
will bear a crop of fruit next year? To
the inquiry l would say, Yes, under the
following conditions: 1st, the soil must
be rich, deep and mellow; I'd, the plants
must be of this years growth, with
healthy roots, and plenty OF them,
and must pe traneplantod ia moist
or damp weather, and if the weather
continues dry must be watered freely q
few times, always in the evening when
the sun has gone down; Sd, the straw
berry bed must be mulched before
cold weather sets in; with yard manure
TO be left on until spring. With such
treatment bed OF strawberries may be
set out in September that will yield,
not quite as much fruit as if put out in
the spring, but enough for family use,
and the berries will be, on the average,
oil larger size than those of the spring

FOSTORIA LETTER.

FosToRIA, O., Aug. IS 1876
Since the Soldiers Reunion business
has been rather quiet. notice that
farmers are Just beginning to haul in
their wheat. 1t brings from one dollar
to one dollar and five cents per bushel.
The crops in the vicinity of Fostoria
are remarkable good, especially corn.
In the lower land the corn was drowned
out, but in general the crop exceeds the
average.
Your correspondent had the pleas
ure of calling upon that staunch Re-
publican and warm friend of the JEFF
fersonian Mr.. James Kelly. Mr. XII a
farmer living about a mile and a half
west of Fostoria He has recently
built him neat, two story brick dwell
ling house, which when completed will
be a model huilding 1t is by odds the
most attractive building in the neigh
bo-hood. Mr.. Kelly has been a sub
scriber for the las: fifteen years, and
remarked that he in all prebility
would continue Oh the list yet another
fifteen years.
While speaking OF the crop | may
state that Mr.. j. Wiseman informed
me that his wheat crop averaged thirty
five bushels to the acre.
Rather good yield for this year.

ED. JEFF: Perhaps some Of your

just now, We will endeavor TO fill up
few lines.
Mr.. J. q. Weigle has removed his
dry goods store to Cory, and Rawson
Is without any dealer in that line OF
business at I resent. Since Mr. Weigie
seems to have had very good trade,
we think there would be a splendid
opening for some enterprising firm in
Findlay TO establish a branch store
here.
As the sky wore very fOrebOding
aspect, last Friday eveniHr. many per
sons in this vicinity supposed we would
be blessed with heavy rain storm, but
they were agreeabiy mistaken. since
the clouds all passed 20 the north of US.
For the last few nights the weather
has been remarkably chilly, almost cold
enough for Jack Frost to make his ap'
pearance.
The blackberry yield has been i'm
mense near Rawson, and occa2ioned
several farmers to put on the wal
paint and dance the scalp dance" in
order to keep off the stragglers, etc.
The crops all pan ont pretty well,
this year, aud corn especially look:
fine The farmers are now mostly
through threshing. a considerable
quantity of cider is being made TIL:

served throughout the township in
houses, barns, and other out buildings
Enthusiasm in political matters i,
not at boiling heat here, but still we
know many life long Democrats who
utterly repudiate the corrupt head o

GOOD RESOLUTION.

All our readers have probably heard
of Admiral Farragut, who was the
greatest commander belonging to the
United States Navy during the last war,
and whose name will ever be remember
ed with honor and love by our people.
The boys ought to know what made
this man SO good and great. This is
the story as he tells it himself.
When he was ten years old he was a
cabin boy on board his fathers vessel.
He thought himself very manly because
he could swear and drink, smoke and
play cards like an old sailor. One day
after dinner, his father turned every
body out of the cabin, locked the door,
and calling his little boy to him, said,
David what do you mean to be-" 81
mean to be a sailor, he replied. "Yes,
a poor, miserable sailor before the
mast" said his father, ''to be kicked
and cuffed about the world, and die in
some fever hospital in some foreign
Cline" mo" said the boy I'm tread
the quart, deck, and command, as
yor do" mo, David you will not;
no boy ever rose to the quarterback
with such principles and such habits as
you have. You'll have to change the
course of your life if you ever become a
man." His father then left him and
went on deck. The boy was over
whelmed with grief. "a poor misera-
BILE, drunken sailor before the mast,
kicked and cuffed about the world,
and to die in some fever hospital
That's my fate is il? I'll change my
life, and change it at once. | will new

drink another drop of Intoxicating liq

lutions were soleInnly kept from that
hour. Soon after he became a Girls

be the noble, grand commander that
he was

CHOICE APPLES.

The old Baldwin and Rhode Island
Greening stand at the head of the list
yet among the hundreds of new varie-
ties, as fine winter apples; ani for a
sweet sort, Tolman's Sweeting cannot
be surpassed ar a cooking variety. As
good autum varieties, the Duceess of
Oldenburg, Fall Piper, Gravenstein,
Maiden's Blush, Jersey Sweet ard Por-
ter are among the best. Good summer
varieties are, Red Astracan, Early
Bough (sweet, Early Strawberry,
Golden Sweetibg and Red June, a fine
variety for Middle and Southern States.
1t is not always safe to purchase choice
varieties OF apple trees for a locality
I'll it has been ascertained whether
they will do well in that, or about that
latitude; as it is quite too important
matter for to set trees for the use of
future generations, and not have evi
dence of their being adapted to yonr
climate.

PRUyING GRAPE VINES.

4 correspondent of the Rural Netc-
YorkeT makes some sensible remarks
on this subject that accord with our
own experience. Thirty years ago,
.bysjcians were in the habit of drawing
a pint of blood from every patient-no
matter >~Lat his disease was, he must
be bIedi The consequence Was, that
they gradually drew out the living
principle ofthe unfortunate people who
fell into their hands. Many grape
growers are now doing the same thing
TO their vines. They think if a Ger
tain amount of sap runs through the
cane bearing fruit, and if a portion of
that cane be cut off, the entire vitality
of the cane when uncut will be diffus-
ed through what remains OF it. Mis-
taken idea! You may take two canes,
each five, ten or fifteen feet long, and
each bearing three clusters OF grapes.
If you cut one off to within a foot of
the fruit, the grapes on the uncut cane
will ripen just as early, and be as good
if not better, than those on the cane
that is cut off. The reason is, that the
roots of the vine supply all the sap that
the grapes and vines requires; and by
cutting canes back, the fruit receives
40 more punishment than it did before
the canes were cut, because it can re
ceive but a certain amount. The only
way to improve the size and quality o.
grapes is, when a vine is heavily fruit
ed, to thin out the clusters, and thls
should be done in June. My theory,
as regards close pruning, cutting back
fruit canes. etc, may not apply equal
Iy to all varieties; but think if we en-
rich the soil more, supply higher trelli-
ses, thin out our grapes and prune
moderately, we shall all get better
crops of fruit than to adopt the close
pruning system.

The best way to get moths out of a
carpet is not to let them get in, and
this is the simplest matter in the world.
Just sweep your carpet occasionally
with salt. No carpet was ever known
to be infested with moths when the
housewife has the habit of using salt
occasionally to clean her carpet with.
Care, however, should be taken not to
have the salt too damp, or there is dan
ger of taking the color out of the cloth
in some places.
