have never wished that had been born
in some other century than the nineteenth.
Our age, If not picturesque one,-and |
thiuk it has its picturesque aspects,-is
without doubt the most comfortable to live
ip, take it on the whole, the world has yet
known. 1t seems to me that persons of ra-
tional mind and humane disposition cannot
be too thankful to belong to it, for it is hard
to see how such persons could ever have en-
ioyed life in earlier times as we OF the latest
days can. The world has certainly gone
forward, and the feature of its progress that
| chiefly rejoice in is its advance in human
ity. The elder world-the world but very
little elder than our own-was such terri
bly, cruel one The only objection to living
in the present time that know of is the in
creased quantity of things one must know,
or would like to know. Eighteenthcentury
people didn't have to read Lecky's history
of their times in four volumes, or a hundred
thousand other books it now seems obliga-
tory upon all cultivated persons to acquaint
themselves with. Nowadays one is required
to read small library every year, if one
would have even smattering OF knowledge
on the various subjects that invite an intel
ligent mans interest. The specialists, in
the abundance of whom we glory, carry iu-
vestigation so far forward, each in his own
line, that the general reader cannot hope to
do more than accept number of things at
second hand, or be content to have no un-
derstanding of them at all. 1t is hard to
resign ones self to ignorance of so many
interesting matters, aud yet that is what
one seems driven to. One finds that the
first thing to learn is show much need not
be known, which is perhaps a sort of sour
grapes wisdom, but apparently the only wis

We cannot resist recalling here one Satur-
day evening in December, when Thackeray
was walking with two friends along Dean
Road to the west Of Edinburgh, one of the
noblest outlets to any city. 1t was lovely
evening, such sunset as one never forgets.
A rich dark bar of cloud hovered over the
sun, going down behind the Highland hills
lying bathed in amethystine bloom; be-
tween this cloud and the hills there was a
narrow slip of the pure ether, of tender
cowslip color, lucid, aud as if it were the
body Of heaven in its clearness, every object
standing out as if etched upon the sky.
The northwest end of Corstophine Hill,
with its trees and rocks, lay in the heart of
this pure radiance; and there a wooden
crane, used in the quarry below, was SO
placed as to assume the figure of cross /;
there it was, unmistakable, lifted up against
the crystalline sky. All three gazed at it
silently, and as they gazed he gave utter
ance, in a tremulous, gentle and rapid voice,
to what all were feeling in the word "Cal-
vary" The friends walked on in silence,
and then turned to other things. All that
evening he was very gentle and serious,
speaking as he seldom did of divine things,
of death, of sin, of eternity, of salvation /;
expressing his simple faith in God and in
his Saviour.-Dr. John BrOWn.

Philosophy and the Pentecost.

Max Muller, one Of the greatest of living
philologists, traces the spring of linguistic
science and the realization of the idea of
humanity and brotherhood to the same
source, the Pentecost. Ia his lectures on the
science of language there is this instructive
and powerful paragraph "Not till that
word barbarian was struck out of the
dictionary of mankind, and replaced by
" brother;" not till the right of all nations
of the world TO be classed as members of
one genus or kind was recognized can we
look for the first beginnings Of our science
llanguage] This change was effected by
Christianity. To the Hindoo every man
not twice born was a Mlechha /; to the Greek,
every man not speaking Greek was a bar
barian to the jew, every person not cir
cumcised was a Gentle; to the Mohamme-
dan, every man not believing in the prophet
is Giaur or Ksffir. 1t was Christianity
which first broke down the barriers be-
tween jew and Gentile, between Greek and
barbarian, between the white aud the black.
Humanity is word which you look for in
vain in Plato or Aristotle; the idea of
mankind as one family, as the children of
one God, IS an idea of Christian growth
and the science of mankind, is science
which, without Christianity, would never
have sprung into life. When people had
been taught to look upon all men as breth-
ren, then, and then only, did the variety of
human speech present itself as a problem
that called for solution in the eyes of
thoughtful observers; and therefore date
the real beginning of the science of language
from the the first day of Pentecost." These
words of the great philologist have their value
in the peculiar fact that they were written
not with the direct purpose of clarifying
Christianity but as part of the exposition Of
linguistic science. A Christian evidence
arises unbidden from a scientific statement
Is not impressed into service of supporting
Christian evidence-whence the great value
of the evidence.

Prayer Equips.

God tells us that he loves to be asked and
is the rewarder of them that diligently
seek him. He tells us that the fervent, ef-
fectual prayer of the righteous availeth
much. He bids us ask and we shall re-
ceve. His Word abounds in narratives of
the actual bestowal of things which his
children have besought him to give them.
Answers cover the field of providential his
tory al flowers cover western prairies. An
swered prayers hover around the communion
tables of our churches in seasons of revival
as we have seen great focks of birds de-
scend into meadow. Answered prayers
have made the pulpits of Payson and Burns
and Spurgeon powerful. Answered prayers
have visited sick rooms like angels, to re-
store life; or if infinite wisdom had ap.
pointed to the sick to die, the sting of death
has been turned to the song of victory. 81

Cost OF EnsiIage,

We copy from the report of proceedings
of the Ensilage Congress held in New York,
Colonel Wolcott's statement in regard to
silo and ensilage: al had carefully prepared
some figures on the subject, which, if had
with me, might prove interesting, as they
give detailed statement of the cost of pro-
duction of maize ensilage, from the first
plowing of the ground to the harvesting of
the crop, and placing it in the silo. The
last year | raised thirty-four acres of corn,
and about the same number of acres of rye,
all of which preserved in silos. These two
crops took from the same land in one
year. Of the corn, | harvested four hun
dred ard sixty-one tons, or fraction less
than fourteen tons per acre, weighed over a
Fairbanks scale, from the field into the
silo. OF the rye, the average per acre was
between eight and nine tons, making of the
two crops, in one year, about twenty.three
tons to the acre. l neglected to keep the
cost of the rye, but an itemized cost of the
corn with the ground measured by sur
veyor, and the corn weighed as heretofore
stated, shows it to be in the field 80 | per
ton; in the silo, 1856 per ton. This cost
had the yield been larger, would, of course,
have been proportionately less have read
some articles prepared by apostles of ensil-
age, stating that from forty to seventy tons
of corn could be raised upon an acre of
ground. Such statements | have reason
from my own experience, to doubt; and
when | read them the suspicion creeps into
my mind that those who make them have
some other object in view than the interest
the farmer. The highest product of corn
. nave been able to make upon one acre is
twenty-one tons and much of this measured
fourteen feet in height" The question was
asked, "Does the cost of your crops, as
stated, include the manure ?" Colonel VOL
colt replied, Yes; it includes the manure
at 81. per cord, the fertilizer at market
price, and the labor Of horses and men each
at ten cents an hour"

The Danger of Wastefulness.

The greater part, by far, of the wealth
produced by the labor of man is absolutely
wasted. The greatest of all wastes is caused
by war, and preparations for war. The
next greatest waste, scarcely smaller than
that of war, is in the use of intoxicating
drinks, tobacco, tea and coffee, all pernicous
drugs destructive Of health. Were these
wastes removed, and mankind content TO
live simple lives, guided by the common
sense rules given to us by Jesus of Nazareth,
everybody would live in plenty, and nobody
would be overworked. As things are now,
says an eminent writer Edward Atkinson),
"The fixed capital of the richest state in
the world is equal only to two or three years
production. In Massachusetts,, all the mills,
works, railroads, dwellings-all the goods
and wares in stock and ready for use, every
thing upon the land on which price can
be put and which has been saved from the
product of the labor of the past, could be
purchased at the value of two. or, at the ut
most, three years production of the same
state. The world is always within year
of starvation. The stock OF food on hand
at any one time is only part of the last
seasons product. The present stock of ma
terial for clothing was made within the last
six months. The cotton was raised last
summer, and is almost all gone" Is it any
wonder, then, that threefourths of the peo.
pie in America, even, live from hand to
mouth, and come to poverty, want and pau,
perism almost the moment that sickness
or other disability obliges them to desist
from work In Europe stimulants and
standing armies impoverish the people. In
America we have the stimulants alone To
damage us, but they are enough to keer
one-fourth of our people within sight of the
poor-house all the time.

one occasion the subject of eDsilage was
mentioned as one which might properly be
investigated by his department, the commits
sioner turned up his patrician nose with an
air of intense disgust and exclaimed " Rot
ten food for cattlel !" So too, with sorghum.
A year or more ago, when he ordered some
unoffending cane cut down at Washington,
he is reported TO have declared with profane
emphasis that this id nonsense "must
stop" He was sincere. When he suppressed
the report of the Academy Of Sciences, last
spring, he was in dead earnest When
he hit upon means TO make ducks and
brakes of an appropriation to continue
sorghum experiments he was happy.
Months passed and still he rejoiced, he even
old with glee how he had travelled ten thou
sand miles during the summer and had not
seen an acre of sorghum growing. We
never doubted that DIR. Loring travelled the
ten thousand miles-nor that he made the
government pay every cent of his travelling
expenses for every rod OF the distance. All
