THE IRON TRADE.
PITTSBURGH RERS
AND THEIR GOODS
In the Foreign Markets-The n. Y,
HeraId's Interview with PITTS
burghers on the Tariff Bill.

A correspondent OF Lue We" ~ n
Herald has been interviewing the lead
ing iron manufacturers Of Pittsburgh In
regard to the Wood Tariff bill and ques-
tons growing out Of it. As matter OF
interest we reproduce below some ex-
tracts from the article which appeared IN
the Herald of Saturday. In his preface
the Herald man says;
THE CORRESPONDENTS VIEWS.
uNowhere throughout my journey in
the manufacturing districts have l met
with such confident business men as the
iron masters Of Pennsylvania, and nc
where have found men so thoroughly
scbooled in sll that belongs to their
trade, its home and foreign aspect, than
in this very iron city, besmeared and be-
trimmed as it is with the smoke OF IN
numbered chinneys, belchinS forth night
and day flames by which one can
read the progress which this sec
ton of our country has stamped
upon the iron trade OF the world. Thanks
t5 the skill which has known how to use
to the best advantage the product OF the
mines, Pittsburgh stands to-day foremost
% a bold competitor IN almost every
thing that is made OF iron. Not That the
battle is entirely won as yet, 1t is an IN
aesssnt struggle, however, with varying
success, going on ever and ever, then
losing ground here, then gaining twice
that amount OF ground elsewhere; but
kept up with an indomltable perseVer,

OFTEN REPROVED.

1t must be manifest to every observer, that
God governs and controls the world. 1t
is no less manifest that men universally rebel
against God. In his mercy, God does not
promptly visit sin with the punishment which
it justly deserves. The sinner is reproved
gently and exhorted to repent and turn from
bis sins unto the Lord his God., Not unfre-
quently God seems to wink at sin. 1t is ap-
parenty neither reproved nor punished at all
for long period. At some time or other,
God begins to reprove. As in the case ofPha'
roah, plague after plague is sent upon the
transgressor. Like Pharoah, multitudes of
us are not softened by Affections. We grow
more rebellious. We harden our necks.
Every pain we suffer, every loss we sus'
tain, is heaven-sent reproof. These we trace
to other causes, and they fail, because of our
rebellious natures, to have their designed and
appropriate effect The result is that, in a
fearfully large number of cases, we sin more
heinously and frequently, Notwithstanding the
constant reprovugs of a kind and merciful
God. The final result is that the hardened
sinner is suddenly destroyed, and that with
out remedy. He is in some way shut out
from mercy, and placed beyond the reach OF
remedy. The irremediable day is fast ap'
preaching in the history of every incorrigible
sinner. Destruction from the Lord will come
upon him in moment when he least suspects
it, and in a way that he never feared it; and
he will be helplessly overthrow never to be
reproved, but to be forever punished. At the
gentle admonitions of merciful God, the
sinner may smile, and the reproofs Of a patient
Preserver may be despised but when God as.
sers his sovereignty, the stoutest breast is made
to quake.

LUCERNE CULTURE.
Mr.. D. R. Flenniken of Winnsboro, writes
as follows tn the Southern, Cultiuutor

Mr.. D. R. Flenniken of Winnsboro, writes
as follows to the Southern Cultivator:
In reply to your inquiry in your June No.,
in reference to my lucerne lot, would state
that the land is rich. I have for the last four
years been working the land with the view of
bringing it to high state of cultivation,
by deep ploughing, narrowing, and broadcast
ing stable and such other manure as could get.
In the fall of 1877, decided to try lucerne
on it. 1 cut the vines and put them away
for feed, and then. scattered what manure
had collected broad. cast, broke it up with
small bull tongue. I then turned it over
with two.horse Watt plough, drawn by two
large strong mules, as deep as they could
conveniently pull it. In the same furrow l
followed with a one.horse ploug b with bull
tongue on it. You can form some idea how
deep it was, when the beam of the one
horse plough was almost all the time below
the surface of the ground. then narrowed
it with two-horse rotary harrow, both ways,
which left the land like a nicely prepared
garden bed. / then sowed the seed, twenty.
Eve pounds, and cross.sowed them, and har
rowed them in with two-horse rotary har

had beautiful stand, and it grew off rapidly,
and did not seem to be injured by the winter.
Very early in the spring it began to grow,
and was not at all troubled by the weeds or
grass. I began cutting it February 2Stb, and
have been cutting it daily since, and been
feeding two horses, two cows and eight hogs
principally on it. They eat it in preference to
corn, cut oats or fodder.
I think it should be sown broad cast. 1t

he has abandoned the drill and filled the
space, and he acknowledges he broadcast to

They were great, grand men. In fact, they
were, many of them, great grandfathers.
ut is sweet to die for ones country. 1t
seems to me that too, would gladly, oh how
gladly, add my name to the list of the great
and good, and die for my country-of old age.
I would die sooner if it was thought necessa'

But if any sacrifices are needed next centen'

they died for, quarreling over the Presidents
policy, wrangling over the currency, and talk:

praying so seldom that our knees get rusty,
drowned out by the rain, devoured by grass
hoppers, they would, if they had it to do over
again, live pine thousand years and only die
then when they had to.
"Our fathers died, but they had no railroads

expense and trouble before they got to the
war. Our fathers never knew the ecstatic
pleasure of leaning out of a car window and

They had no telegraph, and never knew what
a convenience it was to pay forty cents to send
a message fifty miles, and then have the dis
patch to come tagging day or two after the
man had died of old age. They had no kero'
sene lamps, and they never knew what it was
to light kitchen fire and take balloon as
cension out of the same can. They had nc
United States signal service, and never had
forty. five rainy days in month, with tor

and simple. They didn't need great deal
of weather, and what they had was regulated
by the ground hog, and that reliable wealth

"These men have passed away. In their

SALT AS FERT1L1zER.-I have expert
mented for many years with salt, and tested
it on the various cereals and roots, and on
the light reddish sand, and the results have
been quite as varied as the experiments them.
selves.
On heavy clay land I have found little use
in salt dressing, but with an addition of un'
leached ashes, in quantity about fifty bushels
of ashes to ten of salt on each acre, have
taken third more of root crop, and the quail
ity of such roots is always superior On
light soils, salt alone has, with me, always
proved beneficial; but even here have had
the largest returns when ashes was used in
connection with salt. On field of clover,
or any deep-rooted grass, salt alone is highly
beneficial, especially when used in the fall as
dressing. In every experiment / made, |
found that the best results were obtainable
when the salt was used as top-dressing in the
fall In my orchard and vegetable garden,
always used it mixed with ashes in the fall,
and plough in the ground in sprng.-COr.

SEALING TIE Vow.--A correspondent Of
the New York Commercial Advertiser, writing
from the Round Lake camp meeting, tells
the following story:
Many people sleep in the same tent here,
being separated by partitions. AS young
Methodist fellows are thrown with pretty
young ladies good-deal, it is nothing against
them that they sometimes fall in love.
Last night they say, this happened: A
young Methodist fellow from 3allston had
become quite interested in pretty daughter
of a relig gious farmer. Last night, while a
dozen of old cold-hearted fellows were trying
to sleep, they were continually annoyed by
the lovers spoony talk, which they distinctly
heard through the cloth partition.
They heard him say in low, sweet Claren'
don voice. Now. Caroline, dear, do let me
seal the vow-do"
mo, James, I can not. What would my
father and mother say ?" replied sweet girl
ish voice.
"But, Caroline, you have promised to be
mine-now let US seal the vow-let US, do let
us-won't you do kiss mel"
mo, James, I cannot, O, I cannot"
In moment the tent partition parted
and big.whiskered brother, who wanted
to sleep, shouted, "For Heavens sake, Car,
rie, let Jim seal that VOW. He'll keep us
awake all night if you don't"
The VOW was sealed.

REFORMING A BALKY HoRsE.-It was
new to me, and was effective in the one case
in which I saw it tried hence l send you a
description of an apparatus designed to in

A light but strong pole, has one end fastened
to one end of whiffle tree, a steady horse
being worked on this end. The other end Of
the pole extends to the head of the trouble
some horse, and is fastened to a strap passing
around the nose and through the rings.
If the horse does not start promptly and keep
abreast with his mate, he is pulled by the
front and upper part of his mouth. When
ever he starta forward he is relieved. In the
case in which I saw this tried, the horse hung
back for some three hours the first day, per-
haps an hour the next, and gradually gave
up after a shorter trial, until after about a
month he showed no signs of his old habit.
He was pronounced an unusually hard case,
having had many other plans unsuccessfully
tried on him. This plan is certainly more
humane than foggipg or throwing the horse,
or than most of the plans recommended for
difficult cases.-G. E. NJ. in Nat. Livestock

BROTHERLY LOVE.

Man, as he came from the hands of his ma
ker was endowed with we'll balanced mind
His understanding was clear, his affections
pure, and his will in perfect harmony with
the will of God. The fall blighted the in.
tellect, blunted the affections, and biased the
will. All that man now retains of his origi.
nal greatness, is the wreck-the debris. The
three departments-if departments they may
be called-of the mind, suffered equally. A
blighting ignorance spread over the soul, and
love and hatred became strangely commingled
in the same bosom.
One of the endowments with which man
was originally blessed, was that his love for
God was supreme, and his love for his fellows
equal to his love for himself. The fall de-
stroyed this blissful equilibrium. God was
forgotten, and self love, or sel6shness, dwarf
ed every feeling of love for all but self. This
state of things imposed upon the world the
necessity for government. Sel6shness must
be restrained by the strong arm Of the law, or
the weak will be crushed out of existence.
That community is blessed with peace and
prosperity, in which brotherly love lives and
reigns. On the contrary, sin presents no more
hdeous results than when it renders us dead
to the interests of Others
The brotherly love which the Bible incul-
Gates, is calculated to render individuals, COM
munities and nations happy and prosperous.
His love was unbounded. 1t included the
vile and the degraded. 1t was not the love
of approval, but the love of pity and com.
passion. He exercised that peculiar love for
all men, that he desired and labored that all
men might be made better and happier.
This was brotherly love in its purity. Hence,
brotherly love consists in exercising the same
feelings towards others that Jesus Christ ex'
ercised towards poor lost and ruined sinners.
