PERIL FROM THE PULPIT.

The habit Of perpetually mentioning the
theories of unbelievers, when preaching the
gospel, gives man the appearance of great
learning, but it also proves his want of COM
mon sense. In order to show the value of
wholesome food it is not needful to profer
your guest dose of poison, nor would he
think the better of your hospitality if you
did so. Certain sermons are more calculated
to weaken faith than to render men believers.
They resemble the process through which a
poor, unhappy dog is frequently passed at the
Grotto del Cane at Naples. He is thrown
into the gas, which reaches up to the specta-
tors knees, not with the view Of killing him,
but as an exhibition. Lifted out of his vapory
bath, he is thrown into pool of water, and
revives in time Such an animal is not likely
to be a very efficient watchdog or pursuer Of
game and when hearers, Sunday after Sun
day, are plunged into bath of sceptical
thought, they may survive the experiment,
but they will never become spiritually strong,
or practically useful. 1t is never worth while
to make rents in garment for the sake OF
mending them, nor to create doubts in order
to show how cleverly we can quiet them.
Should man set fire to his house because he
has patent extinguisher which would put it
out in no time2 He would stand chance
of one day creating a conaagration, which all
the patents under heaven could not easily ex-
tinguish. Thousands of unbelievers have
been born into the family of scepticism by
professed preachers of the gospel, who sup
posed that they were helping them to faith.
Young men, in many instances, have obtained
their first notions of in6delity from their
ministers they have sucked in the poison, but
refused the antidote. The devils catechists
in doubt have been the men who were sent to
preach believe, live" This is sore evil,
and it seems hard to stay it and yet ordinary
common sense ought to teach ministers wisdom
in such matter. Life and death hang upon
the question of truth or falsehood. If lies be
propagated, or truth be clouded, the watch
men of the Lord will have to give in their &C.
count for permitting it.-Spurgeon.

BLACKBERRY WINE.

About q year ago we wrote somewhat
lengthy article upon the manufacture of wine
from the native blackberry, or dewberry,
properly speaking, which article was exten.
ssively copied in all parts of the South. Many
of our subscribers and acquaintances, taking
our suggestions as a guide, made large and
small quantities, with varying success. The
season will soon arrive and we urge the man.
ufacture of a moderate quantity of this whole
some beverage, which in hot weather possess
es also great medical virtues. 1t is, par &C.
celyence. poor mans wine.
In the briefest possible manner We repeat
directions, which, if followed with reasonable
exactness, will give wine superior in quality
to any imported or native grape product.
Pick only ripe fruit the ripper the better
Remove all leaves, stems and other trash as
if preparing the berries for the table. Take
any large Kettle (not an iron one,) fill it half
full of berries, adding water enough to cover.
Heat gradually to gentle boil. Have bag,
made of coarse muslin and clean whisky

into the bag, placing it in the barrel or tub
Squeeze by wringing till as much as possible
of the Juice has been extracted. Return the
Juice to the kettle, add three to four pounds
of sugar for each gallon of juice, heat the
whole to just boil and clarity it as if it were
syrup. Be careful not to scorch. When
finished, empty into a clean, sweet whisky
barrel, placed in the position it is to occupy
during the fermenting period, and repeat the
foregoing directions till the barrel is entirely
full.
Now take the "pomace" or pressed berries
and cook them again, subjecting them to
heavy pressure while extracting the juice.
Clarity as before and keep this in some con-
venient vessel to use for replacing the waste
of fermentation. The barrel must be kept
full, the bung being left out for the escape of
impurities. .,.,s..,,.,.,,,.
When fermentation has ceased, bung tight
ly, but have a small gimlet-hole in the bung,
filled with small plug, which should occa-
sionally be removed for short time for the
escape of gas. Rack off and bottle on some
clear, cool day in the winter and the work is
done. The spigot should be placed in the
barrel before the juice is introduced and great
care should be taken not to disturb or shake
the barrel at any time, even, while drawing
off, The wine will keep for an indefinite pc
riod, and will grow better with age.-Our

New PROCESS OF TANNING.-Mr. M. E.
Doty of Des Moines, Iowa, has patented
new process of tanning leather, which it is
claimed saves time and labor, and produces
a better result. In place Of immersing the
hides in tannic acid liquid to remain in the
vats from three to six months, as heretofore
required to produce good oak tanned leather,
the hides by Mr.. Doty's process are simply
covered by an adhesive paste by means Of a
brush, or dipping, and then hung up to dry.
1t is claimed that good shoe and harness leath.
er can thus be made in ten days. The adhe-
sive paste used is composed of liquid tannin,

CUBEB BERRIES FOR CATARRH.-A new
remedy for catarrh is crushed cubeb berries
smoked in pipe, emitting the smoke through
the nose; after few trials this will be easy to
do. If the nose is stopped up so that it is
almost impossible to breathe, one pipeful will
make the head as clear as bell. For sore
throat, asthma and bronchitis, swallowing the
smoke effects immediate relief 1t is the best
remedy in the world for offensive breath, rem
dering it pure and sweet. Sufferers from that
horrid disease, liberated catarrh, will find
this remedy unequaled, and a months use will
cure the most obstinate case. A single trial
will convince any one. Eating the uncrushed
berries is also good for sore throat and all
bronchial complaints. After smoking, do not
expose yourself to cold air for at least fifteen
minutes.

EXPERIMENTS SUGGESTED.

Practical knowledge is only to be acquired
by actual experiment, and it is the only kind
of any real value If all soils were exactly
alike, having the same exposure and protec'
ton, subject to the same climate, and the
same amount of rainfall, at exactly the same
dates, farming would at once rise to the digni-
ty of an exact science. One set of expert
ments anywhere would be the foundation for
all farm operations Of the same kind every
where The vast body of farmers, so far as
concerned their own avocation, would become
mere machines, or even less in the social scale.
Brains would be of no value, and the fool of
the family would do as well as the genius on
the farm.
Fortunately, however, the soil is various
and must be treated with brains, or it fails to
produce. Business men never trust any one
until inquiries have been made into his stand
ing and his ability to fulfill his promises.
Farmers, however, never think of inquiring
into the character of the land they are going
to trust their seed TO. They say to them
selves, "That's land, and this is seed; let's
try them together"
1t has been asserted that fertilizers are all
washed down into the subsoil by rains, and
are lost-if so, why is the subsoil always
poor? An experiment, easily made, would
settle this question forever. 1t is the prac-
tice with many to put on too much lime. hop
ing to create plenty of plant food. But they
create too much, and the crop goes to stems
and leaves at the expense Of. the grain. Ex-
pertinent would teach valuable lesson here.
The question Of deep or shallow plowing and
cultivation is yet a debatable one; why not
experiment that which is good and
hold fast to itf Light and heavy seeding
early apd late sowing home grown or foreign
grown seed seed grown north or south of us;
seed gathered when half ripe or when wholly
matured; ssbsoiling, and even whether it pays
to feed starving fields as.well as to keep stock
always growing-are all open questions.
WHY'S this so? Why have six thousand
years of ceaseless tillage taught US nothing ?
And are we to 90 on six thousand years more
in the same style? As every farm is, in
measure, SUI 9eneris, 80 must every farmer be
its genius genius loci Don't trust man till
you know him. Don't trust your land till
you know 1t. Experiment, dig, pry, and in.
quire at every opportunity; don't quarrel
with family you are not acquainted with,
and, above all things, don't bury money i'll a
hole without a bottom.-S. RUFUS MASON,
in Rural New Yorker.

TREATMENT OF LAND.

No land that is ill.treated ever yet pro-
duced we'll, no more than ill.treated stock
will thrive, increase and be profitable. As
the object in treating land well is keeping up
its producing capacity, J would mention first,
as means to this end, ploughing in the right
stage Land to be kept lively, should never,
in any case, be ploughed wet. If ploughed
in this condition it will become cloddy, and
divested of much of its life-giving properties.
Especially will this be the case if dry weather
follows. The right stage at which to plough
land is when it is sufficiently dry to crumble
up nicely when turned over.
Again, land should not only not be plough.
ed when wet, but should not be disturbed in
any way, either by wagoning over it, or al.
lowing stock to run upon it when in this con-
dition. Far better had the farmer lay idle
from his ploughing for few days, and in the
case of his stock, provide himself with sufi-
cient roughness in the fall so as to be pre-.
pared to remove them from the fields when
wet weather prevails.
Next, as an essential means of keeping up
the producing capacity of the land, is that of
interchange of crops and manuring. No
land, however rich and productive it may be,
will remain so, that is successively run in
the same crop. To rightly keep up land,
crops should be frequently changed, while all
the worn out portions should receive as much
fertilizing material as is possible to place
upon them. How much might this latter
means be enlarged and applied if farmers
would only take the time to do so. But the
argument of most farmers is, it is impossible
to make general use of manures as the area
requiring it far exceeds the supply on hand.
True, the supply is often less than. what is
really needed, but use what is and observe
this rule in its application: Go as far as pos.
sible with each years supply to give a good
coating. Next year begin where you left off
the previous year and apply in the same way.
Keep up this plan and you will be surprised
to see in three or four years how much land
you have manured, while you will be doubly
compensated in the large yield of the land
thus treated.-Prairie Farmer.

PREACHING.

Ministers of the gospel, who ought to be as
wise as serpents, are not always remarkable
for their common sense. One way that some
preachers undertake to evangelize the world
is by continually, in their pulpit exercises, at
tempting to prove that all who hold opinions
different from what they hold are certainly
wrong. Every sect but their particular sect
is rotten to the core, and unworthy the name
of Christian. To say the least Of this, it is
very foolish. 1t is difficult to get men Of the
world-unregenerated sinners-to understand
how there can be so much division in the
household of faith, and still be but one faith,
one God and father of all the family. That
general would be the veriest fool who would
cause it, in any way, to be circulated in the
camp of the enemy, that the officers and men,
composing his forces, were quarreling among
themselves. It is hard to see how such an ar
my could be efficient, either in offensive or de-
fensive operations. How can the Church be
efficient in bringing men to Jesus, when one
part is set in deadly array against every other
part? .
The theme of the Bible is Christ and
him crucifed. Ministers should be cautious
in the abuse which they heap upon the devil.
Our Saviour, who was more beset by the devil
than any of the human family ever was or
ever will be, did not abuse him. His severest
rebuke was "get thee behind me, Satan"
tits hard to see how We are to prove that
we are right if everybody else is wrong. In
nine cases out Of ten there is just as much
probability that we are wrong as they. Ad-
mitting that our opponents are wrong. it is
scarcely possible to convert man from his
error after we have abused him for fool or
knave, or for both. y
