Supper mythical drapery which begets and
fosters superstitious feelings, rather than gen.
uine piety. There is nothing mysterious
about it. All that our Lord designed by it,
was to give bis followers, in all places of the
world, an easy way Of remembering him as q
Saviour who died for them.
There may be, and no doubt is, a fitness in
themselves in the emblems, bread and wine,
which are used but their fitness mainly con-
sists in their having been appointed by Christ.
If it be asked what kind of bread is proper to
be used, We reply any sort. The kind Of
bread has nothing to do with the thing what
ever. With regard to the wine, it matters not
what kind it be, so that it is grape wine. We
do not say that wine made from any thing
else than grapes may not be used without
violating the divine command, but as grape
wine can generally be procured in all coun.
tries, it is safest always to use it whenever we
celebrate the Lords Supper. When We 60 to
the table of the Lord, we should 60 feeling
that We are sinners and 60 trusting in Jesus
Christ. '.-' ....-

SELECTIONS FOR NEwsPAPERs.-Mostp peo-
ple think the selection of suitable matter for
newspaper the easiest part of the business.
How great an error. To look over fifty ex'
changes daily, from which the question is moi
what shall, but what shall not be selected, il
is no very easy task. If every person who
reads a newspaper could have edited it, we
should have less complaints. Not unfrequent
ly it is the case that an editor looks over his
exchange papers in search of something in
teresting, and finds absolutely nothing. Ev'
cry paper is dryer than contribution box,
and yet something must be had-his paper
must be out and something must be in it, and
he does the best he can. To an editor who
has had the least care in what he selects, the
writing he has to do is the easiest part of his
labor. Every subscriber thinks the paper is
printed for his own benefit, and if there is
nothing that suits him, it must be good fol
nothing. As many subscribers as an editor
has, so many tastes he has to consult. One
wants something very smart and sound. One
likes anecdotes, fun and frolic, and the next
door neighbor wonders that man of sense
will put such stuff in his paper. Something
spicy comes out and the edtoris a blackguard
Next comes something argumentative, and
the editor is dull fool. And so, between
them all, the poor fellow gets the worst oft
They never reflect that what does not please
them, will please the next man but they in'
sist that if the paper does not please them, ii
is good for nothing.

THE "RU1N" BUsINEss.-Two boys, sur
rounded by FIVE or six others, sat on the grass
and played cards. A citizen, who knows that
card. playing leads into the broad road Of
wickedness, halted, and said to one of the
players:
"Ah my boy, don't you know that you are
in fair way to be ruined?"
II am, eh ?" replied the youngster, as he
held up his hand of cards, and showed four
trumps and an ace "you just hold on here g
minute, and if I don't show you that the 9th
er boy is all wrenched to pieces and ruined to
death, I'll eat the jack of spades and cut my
throat with the jack O clubs!''
He was taking every "trick" as the citizen
passed on.

Quick AND APT REPLY.-The late Chas.
F. Briggs was we'll known, both in the pro.
fession and out of it, says a cotemporary, for
his habit of disputing the most commonplace
statement. This propensity often gave to his
oral intercourse with friends the character Of
controversy rather than that of conversation.
Upon one occasion two of his intimate &C.
quaintances saw Mr.. Briggs approaching, and
Immediately bethought themselves of some
proposition, the truth of which he could not
dispute. Accordingly, when he had taken a
seat at their side, one of them, after exchang'
ing few remarks with him, abruptly said
"Charley, want to bet you that two and
two make four
"Nothing of the Sort" promptly rejoined
Mr.. Briggs "2 and 2 make o."

The STARS AND SrR1PEs.-In the early
part of the Revolutionary War, different ban.
ners were borne by the various colonies.
The standard used when Washington took
command of the army at Boston, was partly
like the English flag, having the cross of St.
George aud St. Andrew combined on blue
ground in the upper corner, the remainder OF
the flag being of f"alternate stripes Of red and
white to represent the union of the colonies
for the maintenance of their rig hits within
the empire of Great Britain" ..,....
1t is not known certainly who designed the
stars and stripes, or what suggested the idea.
Some give the credit to John Adams, who
was then secretary of the board of war. The
British bore a red flag on land, and a
white one on water, and this is supposed to
have suggested the union of the colors in the
American banner.
Others think the device was taken from
the coat of arms of the Washington family,
which was "white or silver field, traversed
by two red bars, with three spur jewels, or
stars, in the upper portion" -.
Years afterward, when new States were
taken into the Union, it was proposed to add
q new star and stripe for each additional
State but this was open to objection, because
the flag would no longer represent the thir-
teen colonies which first united. Capt. Reid,
of New York, came to the rescue. To him
is due the suggestion that the thirteen stripes
be kent to commemorate the warrior col.
onies, and that as each new State was EN-.
braced in the Union another star should
be added.
The thirteen has increased to thirty.nine,
stretching from Canada to the Gulf of Mexi-
co, and widening from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and all over this region the people
look up to the star-spangled banner, and re-
member. the great struggle Of their country,
and the bravery Of their ancestors, by its
stars and stripes. = -.-s..

The Moon AND THE WEATHER.-The
late Marshal Bugeaud, when only captain
during the Spanish campaign under Napoleon
the first, once read in manuscript, which, by
chance, fell into his hands, that from observa'
tions made in England and Florence during
period of fifty years, the following law re:
specting the weather had been proved to hold
true; "Eleven times out Of twelve the wealth.
er remains the same during the whole moon
as it is on the fifth day, if it continues un-
changed over the sixth day and nine times
out Of twelve like the fourth, if the sixth day
resembles the fourth" From 1915 to 1880
M. Bugeaud devoted his attention to agricul-
ture, and, guided by the laws just mentioned,
avoided the losses in hay-time and vintage
which many of bis neighbors experienced
When Governor of Algiers, he never entered
campaign till after the sixth day of the
moon. His neighbors at Excideuill and bis
lieutenants at Al giers would often exclaim
"How lucky he is in the weather. What
they regarded as mere chance, was the result
of observation. In counting the fourth and
sixth day, he was particular in beginning
from the exact time of the new moon, and
adding three. quarters of an hour for each day
for the greater length of the lunar as com
pared with the solar day.

ROTATION OF CROPS.

The persistent habit that we have fallen
into of cultivating large areas of poor land
that often do not pay onehalf the cost of cul'
tivation, is the main cause Of our poverty.
This habit should be stopped, and our poor
lands improved, else inevitable bankruptcy
awaits us. This is to be done in two ways
first, by manuring, and second by rotation
of crops. Both of these should be put in ope-
ration, and perseveringly followed up. Eve
~ pound of manure should be saved and ap-
piled to the soil, and good rotation at once
adopted.
In the adoption ofs rotation system, science
comes to our aid and clearly lays down the
proper data to govern US. Our main agri-
cultural plants are divided into three classes !:
lime, potash and silica plants. These differ
ent classes take from the soil different ele-
ments, and different quantities of the same ell
ements. For instance, tobacco extracts from
the soil large quantities of lime, while beets
and turnips take very little. Both wheat and
tobacco require lime, but in unequal quantl-
ties; wheat only 6 per cent, whilst tobacco
takes up 43 per cent. of its ash ingredients.
Tobacco, which is lime plant, and corn,
which is a potash plant, both take up potash,
but in unequal quantities: tobacco only 25
per cent, whilst the ash of the corn-atalk con-
tains II per cent. Now the principle to be
carried out in a rotation system is to have
such succession of these different classes of
plants, as to rest the soil as it we're and save
it from too great drain upon any one ele'
ment, and thus prevent exhaustion.
Thus, to commence with potash plant, say
turnips, beets, potatoes or corn. This should
be followed by silica plant, say wheat, oats,
barley or rye, and this to be succeeded by a
lime plant, viz. !: clover, peas, or lucerne, or
tobacco. A soil may be so constituted as to
produce very good yield of one crop, and
very poor one of another, by reason of its de.
ficiencY in some one element needed for one of
them. A soil deficient in lime, but abound.
ing in potash and phosphorie acid, will pro-
duce good crop Of turnips or potatoes, but a
poor one of tobacco. A heavy clay soil is
we'll adapted to wheat, but unsuited for to-
bacco whilst light gray is best suited for
tobacco, but unfit for wheat. The soil is a
very complex sffair-requiring much expert
ence, observation and study to understand it
thoroughly.-WM. HOLMAN, Cumberland
Co., Va, in american Farmer.
