IMMORAL MINISTER'S.

IMMORAL MINISTER'S.
1t is common TO hear good people
lament that the number of ministers
who disgrace their sacred calling, and
bring reproach upon religion by gross
immoralities, islargely increasing in our
day. 1t has been so generally stated
and so often repeated that most per.
sons accept the conclusion as a Just
one; but is it so? The ready answer
is given in list Of half score of dis.
tinguished divines whose fall is yet
fresh in the recollections of the public,
and it is offered as decisive of the grow
ing hypocrisy Of ministers.
1t is true that we read much more
ofthe immoralitIes ofprominent preach
ers now than did our foreiathers, and
more than readers OF today did quar-.
ter Of century ago; but it is too often
forgotten that the progress of the New
World during the last two decades has
been greater than in the preceding
half century. The last generation had
few newspapers, fewer railroads, no

Wedding Cards and Stationery.

In wedding cards there is fancy for
writing the invitation on one of the
three divisions of. folding card and
placing the names of the bride and
groom on the other two. Wedding an
nouncements, in cases where there is 70
public ceremony, are printed on two
cards, one very large, the other very
small. The first bears the name of tie
married couple, the other that of the
bride. The smallest of neat plain script
is used in all these printed forms. In
stationery, few novelties have APP
peared, and among them is the butter
cup paper, which is of pale green, with
a buttercup stamped upon it in outline,
or stamped and painted on by hard.
Other styles of note paper have 70 es,
four-leaf clover, violets and lilies of the
valley embossed upon them, and pretty
little boxes containing four kinds are
made up for those who like varic ty.
The new Christmas cardsreprcsent pretty
little girls clad in Oriental fashion play
ing with gorgeous fans; plucking roses
in walled gardens; coquetting with
DTlBuVWluBcu DliuS, anu lllty arc tOl-
orcd so brilliantly that all other cards
look plain beside them. Entirely differ
ent in spirit but almost as attractive, is
a set of cards representing the rats SER
enading the cat and wooing her with
sweet sounds of the fiddle to come forth
and her head chopped ofbya bad lit
tie rat who pitifully lifts tambourine
for aims and vengefully shakes Ratchet
behind him. In the next picture the
cat is served up on the table, and in the
third even his bones have gone and the
rats are toasting his memory in old port.
The moon brings compliments of the
season" in another series of cards, its
round, jolly face beaming out of gray
clouds and Frightening up the rooms into
which it shines. A set which ought to
please everybody who has the rage for
pottery represents jars of deep green
and violet and of an iridescent glass
holding bouquets of flowers.

The Security Dlsracli Gave.

London papers, in noticing the death
of Mr.. Henry Padwick, which occurred
recently, tell an interesting story con-
corning the deceased gentleman and
Disraeli. Padwick began life as a
money lender, and Disracli, quite at the
outset of his political career, finding
himself pressed for money, went one day
to call on Padwck, who knew him by
sight, of course, perfectly well, and
frankly asked him for an advance of
several thousand pounds for certain
time. When Padwick inquired what
security his distinguished client had to
offer, Mr.. Desraeli quietly said: "The
security of my ambition and my genius"
The two men looked at each other for a
few moments, when Mr. Padwick said:
"Well, Mr.. Disraeli, this is an unbusi-
ncss-like sort of transaction, but l will
think of it. Could you call on such a
day ?" The day came, Mr.. Disraeli
made his appearance, mastering as well
as he could his anxiety, and Mr.. Pad
wick, opening portfolio, took ont and
handed him check fer the required
amount. In many ways it proved to be
the best investment the shrewd man OF
money had ever made.

Feeding Stock.

Georgia farmers do not raise enough Oh
corn. Yet corn for feeding stock is not
all that is needed; other things are ncccs
sary to constitute food containing
growth-producing elements. Corn fed
to farm animals gives heat and fat, yet
oats, clover, peas or some heterogeneous
food is necessary to make bone and mus.
Gle. Colts and calves require u food that
will produce, or rather promote, growth,
Oats are the best food for them, perhaps
next to them corn with bran. Bran con.
tains the phosphatcs which help form
bone. The hog cholera commission inn
puted the prevalence Of disease in swine
to a want of proper variety of food.
Georgia farmers should give more attcn-
ton to the matter Of variety Of food for
health, growth, comfort and profit.
Cattle, but especially hogs, should be
supplied with plenty of potash, II is Il
necessary element of growth, and it can
be chcaply supplied in the form of wood
ashes.

SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.
Observing Crops.

BY watching hiscrops growing, a farm
er can learp much, and ascertain, too,
what is wanting III his soil, and thus
bring about a. general improvement of
his lands. A watchful, practical farmer
will see that with a good sun exposure,
his crops have pale, green look, and he
will at once know that his soil is deficient
in nitrogen; if the straw is soft and too
weak, he will know that his soil is def
cicnt in available potash; if he has a
good growth of straw, and light yield
of grain, he will find that by the applica-
ton of phosphatcs the yield of grain
will be largely increased though while
growing his crop may not appear to be
benefited.

These Are Facts.

The Norristown Herald says: "The
newspaper man who copies and makes
merry over the verses attached to death
notice by the afflicted parents of the lost
one, has about as exalted an idea of a
joke as the wretch who picks the pockets
of the mourners at funeral. He might
perpetrate more uprOarOus joke by
stealing the Grape of the front door"
To the above, this sensible thing is
said by the editor of the Steubenville
Herald: "How about the man who has
no more respect for the feelings of the
deceased than to write a whole scad
of elegiac verse of the emphatically pc.

Harkins' daughter returned,from Den

"That's the most refined butcher

Nitrogen.

All farmers should know the impor-
lance Of the element called nitrogen, and
when they do not have commercial ma
nures which contain it, they should study
the modes of procuring it, Shading
lands and letting it rest, benefits it..
Shade accumulates nitrogen, and rest
assistsin absorbing ammonia from the
atmosphere, as well as the nitric acid
brought down by electric showers from
the clouds. An application Of plaster
OF Paris causes plants to grow larger, and
thus accumulate more nitrogen from the
atmosphere. When green crops are plow-
cd under, they show their fertilizing
effect more plainly than when dry, be-
cause they rot faster; the consequence
is the hydrogen contained therein are set
free more rapidly, and coming in contact
with the nitrogen of the atmosphere,
combines with it to produce ammonia
Among the ways in which lime benefits
land-onc is the lime absorbs and re-
.ains the nitric acid Of the atmosphere
and caJScs the more rapid decomposition
Of the vegetable matter contained in the
and, thus forming ammonia,
