Preachers Comparing Notes on

Hard Texts.

Hard Texts.
y, Y. Sun Of i7th.l
At the meeting OF the Baptist ministers
yesterday, the topic OF discussion was
Pulpit Preparations After several Of
the white brethren had spoken, the Rev.
Mr.. Coleman (colorcd) remarked that he
lid not think this pulpit preparation
mounted to much. you've got to get
God inyour heart, aud then you can go
ahead and bang away. No use to try to
preach without God. You can sweat and
sweat like lion and you don't do moth.
ing Mr.. Coleman expressed the opln'
on that brethren did not know 70 much
about the Bible as they thought they did.
Another minister said that his process
was to select text, look att, then climb
ON top OF it, then 10 down on the other
side and all around it and under il, and
then try and 60 through it.

soak. tell you I've found u good many
hard texts. / have had come Of them
asoak for five or six years, and they're
not soft enough yet Tor me To 80 through
them"
The Rev. Mr.. Knapp said he did not
believe that sermon should be like an
Enfield rifle, that shoots oil in a direct
line and hits only very small target.
They should be- he said, "likC an old
Revolutionary musket, with great deal
OF scatter aud sweep. Iou fire them at
mark and they hit all around it. I'd
rather hit some one. even il he is not the

Concerning Sap.

By an ingenious use of that omniper-
cipient instrument, the spectrOscope, it
has been found that sap conveying an
observable portion of a salt of lithia has
ascended the stems of a mock orange at
the rate of 10 feet in an hour, and in a
common annual sunfiower at the rate of
- feet per hour, Other long-ago ex-
periments on the sunflOwer have shown
that its large loOse-teXtured leaves
evaporate very rapidly, while its deep
and strong roots, and stout firm stems
seem adapted to collect and convey sup
plies very copiOusly. The correctness
of the spectroscopic determination is
cOrrOborated by the fact which anyone
can observe in the summer time, that
the foliage even in the high top of an
orchard tree, and the fruit, too, will feel
quite cool and damp even under the
hottest sunshine. Another familiar evil
dence is the health of the foliage of
grapevine which is growing over the
top and among the leaves of a support
ing tree. The thin, open and widely
expanded leaves of the grapevine often
suffer in our dry air through failure of
supply because the roots run very su-
perficially, and so, are often parched
themselves in the dried-up surface soil.
\ vine in the woods with its roots pro-
tected by fallen leaves, and its top
bathed in the escaping vapor eXhaled
by other foliage is never seen to suffer
in this way, although Its roots and
stems may be hundred feet long and
its share of nutriment small among the
mass of competing roots.
This seems to indicate an analogy be-
tween plants and animals, that has per-
haps never been alluded to even by Mr..
Darwin. As the blood of the animal is
maintained at uniform temperature
during health, so it would seem that the
health of plant requires that its inter-
nal temperature should not exceed some
point in the fifties. The sudden blights
that bring sudden death to plants under
glass or in the fields. may be often
caused by congestion in this way.
Again, although bottom heat and warm
waterings are useful suimulants to
wounded or fainting plants, and neces-
sary for many tropical ones (some plants
grow in the mud of hot springs at a con.
slant temperature of $50 degrees, yet
gardeners find cold water the safest and
best for plants that are to be set in our
open gardens. Diseases in plants, how
ever, require heroic measures sometimes
as well as diseases of animals, and an
example in this line is the free applica-
ton of hot water to the stems and roots
of peach trees affected with yellows.
Fatal as that disease is, it has often
yielded to this treatment, and the tree
has been clothed again with rich foliage.

The Functions of a Newspaper.

There has grown up a sort of common
law of obligation, recognized mutually
by the press and by the people, by which
the people expect that the press, as dis
tributers of useful intelligence, shall in
form them as well what is to be avoided
as what is to be sought, as well who is
to be suspected as who is to be confided
in. And newspaper, as a garnerer
and distributor of news, is a public
monitor, and it is its duty to admonish
the people agains frauds and shams, and
impostures and dishonesties. 1t is to be
beacon as well as guide; and when
ever public newspaper, through its di-
Tersified appliances for the collection
and distribution of information, discov-
ers anywhere in life and in public avoca-
tions, whether it be of lawyer, or 4
clergyman, or physician, man, who,
instead of securing the public welfare
by honorable methods or practices.
simply prowls about in the back yard of
his profession, and uses the means and
instrumentalities which honorable title
gives him to pander to his own lust or
avarice, or any other vile passion, and
that paper fails to send out some ad-
monitory voice, and sound some signal
of warning, it is recreant to every prin-
cipal of duty and responsibility and
should be stigmatized by the public it
pretends to represent and to serve.
\ newspaper, however, has no right,
i'll its endeavOrs to minister to the pub
lie, to sacrifice private character. The
public too, has stake in the good name
of its citizens, and he who defames a
good citizen does it at his own peril.
The public press should inculcate the
sentiment that he who maliciously, or
wilfully, or wantonly, or carelessly
even, and falsely charges 4 man with a
crime, is foe to society, and an enemy
TO the law. The law recognizes this,
and always has, so that from the ear
liest history of civilization, and in the
rudest stages of society, we have found
the law furnished protection to every
man in the full and complete enjoy
ment of well-earned reputation.

Andrew jackson and the Fop.

When Andrew Jackson was a young
man attending court at Rogersville,
Tenn, he lived at hotel famous for its
good<cheer. One day, as he set on the
piazza. youth came riding along dress
ed in the pink of fashion, his eyes fixed
on vacancy, replying not to the salutes
which it was the custom of the times
for strangers to give each other. At a
glance Jackson saw the fop, and deter
mined to play the part Of Boniface.
He welcomed the silent stranger with
distinguished politeness, and the COM
pany about the fire made room for him.
But the automaton was not be won to
conversation. He walked up and down
the room contemplating his own graces
and presently exclaimed, commanding
ly: Landlord 1 want supper ~
Supper was spread and the stately youth
devoured it. Then be resumed his
walk, answered not word to the fire.
side circle of lawyers and judges, and
Jackson grew more and more wrathful,
Landlord l want to go to bed ?" was
the next demand; and he added, "I
want a room to myself" Jackson
represented that the house was full, and
there was no single room to be had ;
the young fellow was not to be moved.
Jackson disappeared, and shortly re-
turned, announcing that the guest s
room was ready. The two went off
throu gh the front door, all the company
following, and stopped--at the corn crib
through the tracks of which light was
shining. "There's your room," said
Jackson. Do you wish to insult me
sir?" No insult at all, sir. You
vowed you would not sleep in room
with any one, and demanded room by
yourself. There it is, SIR" al vow l
will rot sleep there" said the dandy.
By the Eternal you shall ~ exclaimed
Jackson, and grabbing the youth, he
sent him at one toss into the crib and
locked the door. And there he staid all
night, an6 in the morning he was re-
leased and dismissed breakfastless by
the impetuous Jackson. This is a tale
related by an ancient lady of Rogers
vile.

Propagation Of Hedt.-We learn from
the Repertoire de Pharmdcte that NJ.
Olivier has found that under certain
circumstances heat is not propagated by
direct proximity. His experiment was
thus conducted: A bar of steel of cer-
tain dimensions boing selected, the
operator places one hand over the center
of the bar and the other over one of the
extremities. The other extremity is
then heated by rapid friction with
energy. At the end of few minutes
the further extremity OF the bar be-
comes so hot as to compel the operator
to remove his hand, while his other
hand, which had been placed over the
middle of the bar (and, consequently,
nearer to the extremity warmed by fric-
tionl, perceives no heat whatever.
