Which is better, pretended con-
gregational singing, where only a
few sing and that feebly, OF good
choir singing? Which is better,
the limping of cripple, or well
man, tied hand and foot, riding in a
fine carriage, with liveried coach
man and footman? Questions com
pairing the best of it's kind with the
worst of another kind shed no
light upon the relative value of diff.
ferent species, at their average, OF
at their best. Average congrega
tional singing promotes the inter
est of the church much more than
average choir singing; the best
choir singing, compared with the
best congregational singing, in spir-
itual and in emotional effects, is fee
BILE. Do not suppose that we are
declaring war against choirs. A
good choir, that will sing regular
hymns so that the people can join,
and will in every case, consult the
pastor concerning ''voluntaries, is
of great value to the church. But
a good choir that does not care to
have the people sing, that stands
upon its dignity, considers itself
coordinate with the pastor, whose
members take no interest In the
services, and practice their pieces,
and bring them forward inoppor-
timely, is an incubus upon any con-
gregation, as many enslaved and
discounted pastors know. But if
this be true of good choir, mu>ic-
ally speaking, what must poor
choir, unsteady speaking, be that
puts onsimilar airs?-[ N. Y. Chris

For styles for the coming sea-
son, plain colors seem most in favor,
with ribbed or corded effects, either
perpendicular or horizontal. Many
plaids are seen, but very cautiously
managed, small in size and careful
ly subdued IN color, except such as
are intended for children's wear.
Sometimes shades of only one color
are used, with perhaps a single
thread of some light color to define
the pattern, and the plaid material
usually composes only part of the
costume, plain material to match
accompanying it for the remainder.
Should this moderation contiue,
plaids may be expected to remain
longer than usual in fashion, as
they are useful fabrics, requiring
less trimming than plain materials,
and not showing the effects of wear
so quickly.

Clover in tha Corn Fiald.

Any one who would walk through
the wheat field where clover was
sown in the spring and observe its
present scorched and withered con-
dition, would not wonder that we
are seeking some better method of
raising clover than sowing it on
small grain in the spring. The
young clover plant is not adapted to
struggle with the burning sun and
parching winds of July and August.
AS long as we pesist in the practice
Of sowing clover in the spring, it
must be a very uncertain crop.
Let the corn be laid by nicely,
and the land in a smooth. even, pull
weren't condition, if not sufficiently
fertile to bring clover, the applica-
tion of 400 to 500 lbs. ofthe flour OF
S. G. Bone and Potash mixture
when the corn is planted, and clover
seed when the corn is laid by, and
you will yield crop equal to any
that can be grown. There is nc
necessity to seed anything to pro
tect them. We have had the SEED
lay in the ground six weeks before
it came up and make an elegan
gros th before winter, and equal thu
spriDggrown clover in its growth
the next spring.
Last week of July, 1882, we seed
ed clover in the corn field on tn
poorest land on the plantation, ant
the 10th Of last May ON the poores
places measured clover 26 inche
high, and the growth of the 10
equaled that on our premium whea
lot seededoin the spring.
For three seasons we have seede,
clover in the corn field with. equa
success, and have become fully pei
suaded that the method is perfectl,
reliable, and affords us a sur
remedy for the restoration of GU
poor -land.-G. b. Stacy, in South
ern Planter.

"Grass is wealth. AS lowly and
humble as it appears, it comprises
one sixth of all the vegetation Of
the world. 1t nourishes one ami.
mails than the other food combined,
and furnishes all the elements for
the growth of man. Through its
wonderful chemical and vital prop
critics it extracts from the great
laboratory of nature-the atmos-
phere-certain gases and fluids
hostile to mans respiratory organs,
thus purifying the air for his use,
and depositing these elements in
the soil, thereby enriching the
earth. Hence the adage, No grass,
no cattle; no cattle, no manure, no
grass. This explains it all. Grass
enriches the land and faUtens cattle,
cattle feed man and make manure,
manure enlivens the soil and makes
crops. There is eternal evolution
in this. Nothing is lost in this cir
Gle. Nature repeats her great law
of the indestructibility Of matter"

Money! and Time.

AS for a little more money and a
little more time, why it's ten to one
if either one or the other would
make you whit happier. If you
had more time, it would be sure to
hang heavily. 1t is the working
man who is the happy man. Man
was made to be active, and he is
never so happy as when he is so.
1t is the idle man who is the mis-
cradle man. What comes Of holt
days, and far too often of sight
seeing, but evil? Half the harm
that happens is on those days. And
as for money-Don't you remember
the old saying, Enough is as good
as a feast?" Money never made
man happy yet, nor Will it. There
IS nothing in its nature to produce
happiness. The more q man has
the more he wants. Instead of its
filling a vacuum, it makes one. Il
it satisfies one want, it doubles
and trebles that want another way
That was a true proverb of the
wise man, rely upon it: Better is
little with fear of the Lord thar
great treasure, and trouble there
with. DIR. Franklin.

Peas Three Thousand Years Of,

Peas Three Thousand Years Old.
In the course of the explorations
in the ancient ruins of Egypt, an
English traveller found, inclosed in
sarcophagus beside dead mum
my, few dry peas, which he pre-
served carefully, and, on his return
to Great Britain, planted in the rich
soil of the Island of Guernsey. The
seeds terminated, and soon two lit
tie plants appeared, from which, at
maturity, sufficient peas were gath
cred to plant quite large tract of
ground in the following season.
Some of the plants thus raised
have attained a height of six feet,
and have been loaded with blossoms
of exquisite color and of delicate
rose tint. The peculiar feature of
of the growth is the stem, which is
small near the root, but increases
in size as it ascends, requiring a
support to sustain it up right. The
pods, instead of being distributed
around all portions Of the stem as
in the ordinary plant, are grouped
about the upper extremity.
The vegetable, it is said, belongs
to the ordinary garden variety; but
from its presenting the very distinc
tive differences above noted, it seems
worthy of close bonatical examina-
ton. The peas are of remarkably
fine flavor. excelling in delicacy
those of the choicest known varie-
ties

To Keen Potatoas.

The farmers in Sumner county
have raised this year a large crop
of Irish potatoes, and prices gener
ally have ruled so low that doubt
less there is a large quantity yet on
hand, and one great question now is
what to do with them, or how to
keep them. In conversation withCapt
S. r. Simpson upon this subject he
gave us the following information,
which we give to our readers, hop
ing that it will be of benefit to
them:
After your potatoes are dug take
some Stacked lime, and by means OF
a seive or an cd oyster can with
holes punched in the bottom sprln-
kle the ground or floor of the room
in which you wish the potatoes
kept; then place a thin layer of po-
tatoes, sprinkling them with lime.
Continue this process until all your
potatoes are thus treated, and they
will keep sound and good. Even if
your potatoes have commenced to
rot the lime application will stop it.
This is certainly easily tried. Capt.
Simpson has kept his potatoes in
this way for Z or s years.-Gallatin
Examiner.
