A literary gentleman once address
ed letter to friend. The following
was the reply: 81 have received a
piece of paper, apparently from you,
though l am inclined to think that,
by way Of saving trouble, you had
employed spider as your amanuen-
sis, dipped his legs into an ink-bottle,
and then suffered him to crawl over
the sheet. You never were a very
good writer ; but now you seem to
have one hand which you cannot read
yourself and another which no other
person can decipher."

Ministerial Fraternity.

OF all classes Of men, the world ex-
poets more of ministers than of any
other. Once an eminent man was at
conference, and some Of the ministers
were disposed to show an unchristnn
spirit, and he was very much disap-
pointed. He said, Il expected to see
them all loving each other" That is
the Christian spirit, but it is not al.
ways manifested in conference and in
the various relations that we sustain
to each other. Sometimes minister
goes into the bounds of congrega-
ton and speaks unkindly of the pastor
Of that congregation. and sows the
seeds OF discord among the people.
Such man Che should not be called a
minlster,) should be taught how a
minister should conduct himself. A
Christian gentleman will love his
brothers interest as his own. He will
aim to help him in every way. Some
times word has a world Of meaning
to it, and may do great good or great
harm. fla minister is unworthy, do
not show an uukind spirit to him, as
you put yourself on Il par with him.
If true man, he should have your
sympathy and approval. Let there be
union among us.

Cetennial Poem at Bennington.
BY WV. CULLEN BRYANT.

On this fair valleys verdant breast
The calm sweet rays Of summer rest.
And dove-like peace benignly broods
On its smooth lawns and solemn woods.
A century since, in fame and smoke,
The storm of battle o er it broke,
And, ere the invader turned and fed,
These pleasant fields we're strown with dead
Stark, quick to act and bold to dare,
And Warmers mounted band were there,
And Allen, who had flung the pen
Aside to lead the Berkshire men,
With fiery onset, blow on blow,
They rushed upon the embattled foe,
And swept his squadrons from the vale
Like leaves before the autumn gale.
Oh, never may the purple stain
Or combat blot these fields again,
Nor this fair valley ever cease
10 wear the placid smile Of peace.
Yet here, beside that battlefield,
We plight the VOW that, ere we yield
The rights for which our fathers bled,
Our blood shall steep the ground We tread.

suffered most from the California

will pay again for a long time.

LeaChed Ashes.

The Toronto Globe gives the fol-
lowing plan of treating .eached wood
ashes, which is new to US. What
benefit is to be gained by the compost
ing we do not see. Why not apply
1T directly to the soil. The loss from
the melting of snow is probably main
ly imaginary: "The best way to
treat the ashes is. to compost them
with barn-yard manure. you want
to make tirst-class manure add about
twenty pounds ofplaster to each load
Of barn-yard manure, and some salt.
Then draw out the manure and turn
it under as quickly as possible. 1t
would not be best to spread the ashes
on the snow, because when the snow
goes away it may carry off a great
deal Of the most valuable part of the
ashes. This objection does not apply
with such great force in case OF leach
ed ashes as it would in the case of
unleached ashes. Applying them in
the spring would be better. From
one or two hundred bushels ofleached
ashes would be good amount to APP
ply, though twice the amount would
be made use of by the crops. TO an
orchard ashes arc especially valuable,
as they supply many Of the elements
which the fruit and trees are constant

CURES FOR HOUSEHOLD PEsTs.-
Rats are said to have such dislike
to potash, that if it is powdered and
scattered round their haunts they will
leave them. A piece of rag well soak
ed in a strong solution of cayenne is a
capital thing to put into rat or mice
holes, as they will not attempt to eat
it. A plug of wood covered with a
piece of flannel so prepared may be
used to fill up the holes. Cockroaches
aud ants have similar dislike to
cayenne, and little strewed about a
cellar will keep it clear of them.
