fectly natural that the two should be much asso-
ciated in the minds of the people, and what has
rendered the association more natural and close is
the fact that several of the most prominent mem
bcrs of the reform club have made profession of
faith in Christ. The converts come from all class
es, the old and young, heads Of families and child
rem, business men and those who belong to the OPP

The reputation it has attained, in consequence Of
the marvellous cures it has produced during the
last half century, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize the happiest
results that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary aGec-
tons. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in
slant relief, and performs rapid cures of the
milder varieties ofbronchiaI disorder, as wen as
the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
As a safeguard to children, amid the distress
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of
Childhood it is invaluablei for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-
markable to be forgotten. No family should be
without it, and those who have once used it

Eminent Physicians throughout the country

Why OIchar DIS Decay.

A correspo ndent of the Valley Farmer
says orchards have died or become poor
from these causes:
l. The exhaustion of the soil from
the constant crop of apples; from the
blowing away by the wind of the leaves
of the trees which nature designed to
feed the soil on which the tree stands /;
by the crops of grass, grain, or roo IS
constantly taken from the same ground
and little return of substance to it.
3 Another means of their destruction
has been in whipping the trees with
poles to remove the apples. And still
another cause was the pasturage among
them.
8. To restore them: If any were left
worth restoring, man must cease to
crop the ground under them, and must
manure them with vegetable mold, de-
caYing leaves, lime, wood ashes and
salt A compost formed of these sub
stances would be excellent; or one form
ed in part by soap-suds and refuse slops,
chip-dirt, turf, etc, we'll rotted.
Then trim off all dead limbs, and
those that cross and gall each other,
and of all suckers that feed upon trunk
or limbs, not necessary for a crop.

The Blaokness of DesOlatiOn.

The following is a vivid description
of the efforts of enforced specie resump-
ton and currency contraction:
The Brooklyn Eagle, speaking of the
general depression among the working
Glasses, says:
The blacknoss of desolation is never
more strongly painted than when a
strong imbed, we'll meaning and intel
ligent mechanic poin Is to a wife and
children starving in house that is no
longer a home, and bears witness that
society will not give him neither bread
nor occupation. War is less terrible
than this, and pestilence in comparison
assumes the look of benefcent mes
senger Even the gaunt and famine
stricken multitudes, who from time to
time resign th emseves to a common
doom on the plains of Asia, are to be
envisd by tue man who finds himself
and his little ones furnishing IN the
midst of plenty; who sees store-houses
filed with an abundance that he cannot
touch, and Golfers choked with riches
that but increase his agony. That there
are very many such men in America at
present is as certain as it is terrible
The evidence is rot less surely given
- the cries that come up daily from
sufferers, than by the ships that lie
rotting at our docks, the mills that no
longer send forth the stirring music
of industry, and the furnace fires that
have long been put out. Upon q thou
sand factories the stiffness of death
has settled and cannot be numbered,
the paralysis of an enforced idleness
has fallen.

Rust on Celery.
Yiek's Floral Gnide.

There are two causes of rust. Celery
likes a cool, moist situation, and if a
trihe shaded all the better. If it is
planted in an open situation exposed to
the sun, it sometimes burns, aud this
causes rust. This, however, is not the
most frequent cause. Celery should
neither be hoed nor earthed up when
moistened with dew or rain. nor when
the ground is moist. 1t should be done
when air and soil and plant are dry, 9th
erwise rust is sure TO be the result.
If the soil is permitted between the
leaf, stalks, or in the heart of the plant
at earthing uP, rust or rot, or both, is
the compensation. This is one reason
why we dislike celery of a branching
habit the work of earthing we'll Is so
difficult a dwarfsh plant OF straight,
compact growth, Is altogether the safest
and the best
While on this subject we viii say,
never let celery become so dry as to
wilt, either while growing, or when
taken up Tor consumption or storing. Ii
viii never recover from such treatment,
but always remain tough and hollow.
Keep celery growing rapidly and when
taken up for pitting do not allow IL to
show the least sIgu Of willing, nor keep
it exposed to thu light for a long time.
At you wish to know what really good
celery i. have a dozen plants under
special care Give them a good soaking
of manure water every two or three
days. Do not earth up until the plants
are at least eighteen inches high Then

Agriculture and Common Schools.
Western Rural.

Western Rural.
The object of our common school
system should be to furnish cur young a
practical education. The great majority
Of our children have no other education
than that given In our common schools,
and it is, therefore, of the utmost i'm
portance that the system should be d.
vested of ali superfuous features, max
Tag it simple and thoroughly practical
Education IN this country is Of such a
character, and colOred by such false So
cial ideas, that many of our best men
have been led to doubt the prac5ieabiIity
of school education, The young man Is
more apt TO graduate from college dip
donated top and classic loafer than a use
full citizen Our institutions of learning,
instead Of emptying their graduates into
the fields of mechanical pursuits, are
continually swelling the already over
crowded professions, the great ocean OF
useless humanity, and feeding the black
sea of vice. This is not the fault of ed
ucation, however-it is the fault OF So
CT ty, which attaches to education false
notiUns, among the worst of which Is
that labor is degrading to the educated.
We can not educate too much, II we Will
make it practical. If every farmer in
America were a thorough scientist the
results of our farming would be largely
increased, and the happiness of that
important class of our population great
" enhanced The time Will be wh9n as
much culture will be found in the furrow
as in the library, when the fields and
woods will blaze with as much brillian y
of mind as does the city. Great progress
has been made In this direction within
the last few years, and it must 20 on VI =
til our schools are something besides
lighthouses of Impotency and fashionable

a change in our common school sys-
tenn is the first thing 60 be sought. We
must begin here to learn our boys and
| girls that education is only an aid to
usefulness, q means for the accomplish

not simple ornament More attention
must be paid to the practical pursuits OF

Hume and His Mother.
Quarterly Review.

It seems that Hume received religious
education from his mother, and early 10
life was the subject of strong and hope
full religious impressions, but as he ap
preached manhood they were efaced
and confirmed infdeiity succeeded. Ma
ternal partially. however alarmed at
first came to lock with less pain upon
this declaration, and fual love and rev.
erence seemed to have been absorbed
In the pride of philosophical skepticism ;
for Hume now applied himself with I'M
wearied and unhappiIy, with successful
effort, to sap the foundation of his
mothers faith. Having succeeded in
this dreadful work, he went abroad into
foreign countries; and, as he was re-
turning, an express met him in London
with letter from his mother, Informing
him that she was IN deep decline, and
could not long survive. She said she
found herself without any support in
her distress; that he bad taken away
that source of comfort upon which in
all affection she used to rely, and that
now she found her mind sinking into
despair she did not doubt that her son
would afford her some substitute for her
religion, and she conjured him to hasten
home, or at least to send her letter
containing such consultations as philoso-
ply can afford to a dying mortal Hume
was overwhelmed with anguish on re-
ceiving this letter, and fastened to
Scotland, travelling day and night bat
before he arrived his mother expired.
No permanent impression seemed, how
ever to have been made on his mind by
this most trying event, and whatever
remorso he might have felt at the mo
ment, he soon relapsod into his obdu-
racy of heart.

A ragged tramp, footscre and blue,

When presently there met his view
A searecrow in a field of corn
Approaching near he scanned the clothes
In which the figure was arayed,
And said; old fellow, I suppose
You've no objection TO a trade.
''Your garments are of ancient cut,
And somewhat large for me l fear:
Now mine are in the fashion, but
They re out at elbows, knees end rear,
Your proud position here, OVID,
Is quite conspicuous, but then,
You stand your silent guard, alone,
Far from the vulgar gaze Of men.

To note you met morphosis."
