Marine Monsters Fighting.

The crew OF the British ship Humboldt,
from Rio de Janeiro for New Orleans,
were witnesses of q remarkable combat
during their last voyage. The vessel
was blowing ahead off San Salvador,
Brazil, when the attention of officers and
crew was attracted by a furious COM
motion of the waters short distance
ahead. AS they neared the spot they
saw that terrible combat was going on
between monsters of the deep. The sea
was lashcd into u seething foam. 1t
fairly boiled within a circumference of
1CO Yards, and myriads of mad white
caps foatei sway beyond this circle.
Moving closely up and slowly down they
stopped to watch the battle. 1t was one
to the death. Aswordfsh and thrasher
had attacked a tremendous sperm whale.
The strength, size and force were with
the broad backed sperm. which, wheeling
round and round as if working on Il
swivel, swung its huge tail with mighty
ROVER. 1t would raise itself aloft, clear
out of the water, blow spray through its
nostrils and make frantic efforts to an
hlate its foes; tut science, skill and
mannuvring were on the side of its enc
mes. The thrasher is supplied with a
"sucker" that enables it to stick to what
ever it attacks. The tactics adopted by
the pair were successful. The thraSher,
springing upon the back of the whale,
clung there, at the me time lashing the
unfortunate creature with its tail, actually
whipping it to death. The great sea
animal, with its most gigantic efforts,
was not able to cast it off. There it
held and lashcd. while the swordfisb
drove his sword time after time into the
side of their big antagonist. The waters
were dyed with the blood of the leviathan.
anil in the course of short time he had
su cumbed to the effects of the beating
and the stabbing, and foated on the sea
lifeless mass.

Composition of Soils.

A writer in the Country Gentleman
gives the following timely statement on
this subject: "Every farmer knows that
the fundamental character of good soil is
sand, clay and decayed vegetable mat
ter, or humus. These important constit-
uents vary greatly in their proportions.
A strong clay soil has five to fifteen per
cent. of silicious sand Clay loarn has
fifteen to thirty per cent. of fine sand.
A loamy soil has thirty to sixty per cent.
of sand; sandy lo.m, sixty to ninety
per cent, and sandy soil has no more
than ten per cent. of clay, and often less,
as it becomes more barren. A strong clay
soil, by constant cropping, is robbed of
its accumulations of vegetable matter,
and soon becomes too compact for the
roots of plants to penetrate freely. Its
Improvement is much quicker and more
certain that the other extremes of sand,
but the same process must be employed.
The roots of clover, in penetrating, open
and loosen the stiff clay, diffusing them
selves everywhere. They gradually
raise by increasing the bulk of the sur
face soil This upper soil is thus con-
Verteu lutO ulAtuTe VI Cldy anu ucCdlCu
roots, and is necessarily more loose and
friable than before This admixture of
roots affects the chemical composition as
well as the physical condition Of the soil.
The roots and stems of plants and grasses
contain much inors anic--e earthly and
saline-matter, which is gathered from
below, wherever the roots penetrate, and
is by them sent upward to the surface.
A ton of clover hay contains about $50
pounds of this inorganic matter. Sup
pose the roots to contain as much (and
they doubtless contain more); if the pro-
duct of both top and root equals four
tons to the acre, we have 900 pounds of
inorganic matter added yearly to the soil,
which, if purchased in the open market,
would amount to $40 per acre; Much of
this is doubtless washed back again into
the earth, or eaten and carried away by
stock, but the possibilities are very prom
iAng to those who are endeavoring to
improve heavy clay"

"Vvhat About Your Sins ~

Passing down street in the north OF
London, friend with whom I was walk
ing, pointed to house opposite, in which
a young woman was very ill, and asked
me to call and see her, adding, "Shc is
passing into eternity, I fear, without
Christ"
During the afternoon called. A very
kindly welcome was given by both the
invalid and her mother.
The poor sufferer was just twenty-one:
had been married about year; but was
now evidently in the last stage of con-
sumption. apparently with only few
days to live.
1 took o. seat by her bedside, and after
waiting little while, asked:
care you happy2"
'I am waiting for the angels to take
me to heaven" she replied.
"What about your sins p
Looking at me surprised, and evident
ly alarmed, she said, 'I never thought
of theml"
''Heaven is holy place." I added,
"and God is a holy God, and you can
never 90 to heaven unless your sins are
washed away. No angel can take you
there; there is but one way: The blood
of Jesus Christ, Gods Son, cleanseth
from all SIM"
Gazing at me with the earncstness Of q
soul on the confines of eternity, only just
awakened to the fact that she was SIM
ner, she asked, els that true2'
Ireplied, "It is the Word of God, and
will read 1t to you Of His own Book"
Turning to I. John j., z, read, "The
blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth
Us from all SIM"
She said, "Will you read it again, and
read it slowly2"
Tread it again and slowly.
blessed Jesusl precious blood" she
exclaimed.
The Holy Spirit, when ''her sins" were
mentioned, had shown her guilt, and
reached her conscience, and without hest
tation she owned her lost state. Then
the "Blood" and the One who shed it,
relieved her conscience of its load OF
guilt, and instead of trusting to an angel
to carry her to Heaven, from that alter
noon until she departed to be with
Christ, four words constantly fell from
her Ii blessed Jesus" "Prccious
