hAlSlNG GLOVER FOR SEED.-hr. j, 4.
Birdsell, South Bend, Ind, the well
known manufacturer of clover hullers
says in the Clover Leaf: "My observa-
ton in regard to clover and clover seed
raising has been greater than that of
many. on account of having followed
threshing from my youth, prior to my
invention, and many seasons have run
four machines, | have always noticed
that whenever we found a job where
there was large yield, twas where the
seed had been sown one bushel to five
or six acres, mown the last days of June
and plastered after the first crop had
been taken off. Ihave seen a field when
one-half had been mown and got off
before July 1, and the balance of the
field not till two weeks later, on which
the seed that was started first yielded
three and half bushels per acre, the
remainder three bushels. This you
see was quite loss to the raiser, and
the hay first mown equally as good as
that which was mown last. [ have
raised seed myself that went four and
half to the acre. L have also taken
clover from the field in three different
conditions, and laid away in the dry for
the purpose of knowing when was the
best time to cut seed clover. The first
state was then dead ripe; second when
handsomely brown; and third, still
greener, and when thoroughly dry, rub
bed out the seed and put three piles on
a plate, and could see no difference.
That which was cut the greenest was
just as plump seed as that which was
dead ripe. This shows that the head
receives enough sustenance from the
stalk after it is cut to fully mature the
seed, and when cut little greener you
can save almost every seed. Always
turn when the dew is On, so That the
bolls will not rattle off,"

A young woman, evidently from
the country" was seen standing with a
very perplexed air at one of the lamp
post letter=boxes. She was observed to
knock several times on the top of the
iron box, and obtaining no response,
she passed round to the opposite side,
and raising the cover Of the slit in
which the letters are placed, applied
her mouth to the aperture, and called
out Tor in:) "Can We let me have a
postage-stamp, if ye please"

And seeks as oftentines before.
With voice toned sweet to mellow notes
All men with influence and votes;

His kindly patience knows no end,
Each man he meets he calls his friend
The ladies too, receive their share.
While infants, clutching at his hair
Are welcomed all witf oily smile,
And soul that seems uatouchea Of guile.
He talks Of parties and their cause,
Ofplatlorms, rules, and civil laws;
Grows eloquent on peoples rights,
Reform, complaints, and faction fights
While all his power and purpose bend,
That law aad gospel may not end.
Be careful friends, whom you elect.
The leader that the wise select,
Is chosen not for oily tongue,
Or rounded periods finely strung
For fine appearance, power. or peIf
But for his value in himseif.
II he be able, honest, true,
Then he is just the man for you;
Possessed Of brain and common sense,
While scorniag fawnibg and prctense-
Make him your leader II you can,
And honor thus an honest man.
Oar country needs the stsunch ana true.
To guide It's fortune safely through
These rapid, raging modern days.
When men give all for pomp and praise:
Nor care what De the lands condition,

New YORK, April 6.-Rev. DR.. Geo. f.

declining the Office of Bishop of Spring
field, ILL.,:
New YORK, April 5, l87S.-My dear
brethren: In note addressed to you un-
der date Dec. &c, 1877, 10 reply to your
official communication announcing to me
my unanimous election to the Bishopric of
Springfield, ILL.,, lemployed the following
language: IF ever the question comes
really before me to determine, be assured
| will meet it promptly in the fear of God.
and as beneath his bar of judgment /
shall do my best to reach right conc!u-
sion and Immediately apprise you of the
result. The question did not so come to
me until the latter part of March. l
may have seemed to you, in your very
natural anxiety for speedy answer, to
have waited beyond a reasonable time in
giving my response, but the truth is. dear
brethren, L never faced the matter as a
real issue until received the official letter
Of the venerable presiding Bishop, little
more than two weeks ago, informing me
that majority of the standing committees
and of Bishops had consented to my con-
secratioD. 1t is only necessary for me to
make known to you my decision, and yet |
may be permitted to state parentheticalIy
that my delay has been owing to my grave
and painful doubts as to what was my
tduty in the premises. Those whom have
consulted and who have a right to speak
my own Bishop, other Bishops, and ma
jority of the members OF the standing COM
mittee of the General Theological Sem
inary-strongly advise me that the inter-
ests of the church at large will be best
promoted by my remaining where | aT.
My hesitation shows how profoundly [ am
moved by the claim which Springfield has
on me. 1t is an act of self denlel to say
what l am about to say-that under all
circumstances | have reached conclusions
that tit is my duty to follow the advice
given to me with such unapimity, and to
continue to serve God in the humble
sphere which he has assigned me. May
the blessed spirit overrule this decision to
his own glory, the good of the church, and
the individual benefit of us ALL With
great respect dear brethren, faithfully and
affectionately yours.
