The Useful Little Peanut.

In 1888. Virginia began the manu-.
facture Of peanut -four, the result
being a peculiarly palatabIe biscuit,
while Georgia has long made pastry
cf pounded peanuts. The Kernels
roasted are largely used 10 the manu-.
tacture OF chocolate, while the amande
de terre as has been shown. is used
by the confectioners. "The poor mans
fruit" the peanut, is capable of sus.
taining life for long time. owing to
its peculiarly nutritIve qualities, the
negroes using il alike porridgs, cus.
tarI or as a beverage. Nor does its
usefulness end here, for the vines
from a splendid fodder, as good as
clover hay, while hogs will fattcn on
what they tind in the fields after the
crop has been gathered. II 10 an easy
crop to raise, the supply OF nuts has
trebled within the past few years, and
has never yet equalled the demand.
The quantity Of peanuts used in this
country may be set down at 3,OOO,.
900 bushels.

Salvation Near.

You have salvation, complete sal
walton, in view, and it approaches,
it is nearer than when you first be-
lieved, it comes daily nearer and
nearer. We may look upon every
true Christian and say to him, and
especially to one advanced in the
journey of life, Thou art not far from
the kingdom Of God. A few days, or
at most a few years more will bring
thee to its glories and joys. Thou
shalt be then even in the kingdom,
beholding the King in His glory, eat
ing bread and drinking wine there,
living and reigning with Him. Bear
it daily in thy mind, and endeavOr
to form thy soul more and more to
that song in which, l hope, through
Divine grace, so many Of us shall
join: Salvation be to Him that sit
teth. upon the throne, and to the
Lamb, who has redeemed us to God
by His blood, and makes us kings
and priests; that we might reign and
worship forever. To Him be glory,
world without end. Amen.
Awake, We saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love,
That shows salvation nigh.
On all the wings of time it flies,
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day!
Welcome each closing year!
Not many years their rounds shall run,
Nor many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.
Ye wheels OF nature, speed your course,
Ye mortal powers decay;
Fast as ye bring the night Of death
Ye bring eternal day.

In Constancy of Earthly Enjoyment

When the sun shines bright and
warm, all the flowers of the field
open and display their leaves, to re-
ceive him into their bosoms; but
when night comes, they fold together,
and shut up all their glOries, and,
though they were like so many little
suns shining here below, able, one
one would think, to make force a
day for themselves, yet, when the
sun withdraws his beams, they droop,
and hang the head, and stand neg
lected, dull and obscure things. So
hath it Jared with as; while God
hath shone upon US with warm and
cherishing influences, we open, and
spread, and fourished into a great
pomp and glory; bat He only hides
his face, draws in His beams, and all
our beautiful leaves shut up, or fall
to the ground, and leave us bare
stalk, poor and contemplate. Eek

On Religious Affections.

How insensible and unmoved are
most men about the great things OF
another world! how dull are their
affections! how heavy and hard their
hearts in these matters! here their
love is cold, their desire languid,
their zeal low, and their gratitude
small. How they can SIT and hear OF
the infinite height and depth and
length and bredth of the love of
Christ Jesus; of Gods giving His
infinitely dear Son to be offered up
a sacrifice for the sins of men, and OF
the unparalleled love Of the innocent,
holy Lamb of God manifested in His
dying agonies, His bloody sweat, His
loud and bitter cries and bleeding
heart; and all this for enemies, to re-
deem them from deserved, eternal
burning, and to bring them to I'M
speakable and everlasting joy and
glory; and yet be cold, heavy, insen-
sible and regardless! Where are the
exercises of our affections proper, if
not here? and what can be fit &C.
casion of their lively and vigorous
exercise, if not such as this? Can
anything be set in our view greater
and more important? anything more
wonderful and surprising? or that
more nearly concerns our interest!
Can we suppose that the wise Crea-
tor implanted such principles in our
nature as the affections, to lie still on
such an occasion as this? Can any
Christian who believes the truth Of
these things, entertain such thoughts?
81 will praise Thee with my whole
heart, o Lord. Jonathan Edwards.

Comfort in Distress.

Spiritual comfort in distress, such
as the world can neither give, nor
take away, shows that God looks ap-
on the souls of His own with another
eye than that with which he behold
eth others. He sends secret mes
senger that reports His peculiar love
to their hearts. He knows their
souls, and feeds them with His hid
den mama the inward peace they
feel is not in freedom from trouble,
but in freeness with God in the midst
of trouble. Richard Sibbes.
