And why for his sake !? Simply becauce
in him alone rests our surety of pardon and
favor. "While We were yet without
strength, in due time Christ died for the un.
godly." Herein is our confidence. We
name the one name high above all, into our
Fathers ear, and say "For Jesus sake"
and quickly the response comes back to the
heart of acceptance and answer. 1t is like
a stranger coming into the court of hostile
king and saying, Although l come from
the enemys camp, thy son has been very
gracious unto me and become my friend
In thy sons name am l come, begging thy
grace" Does the father turn away the
friend of his child? He receives him for
his sons sake, and enemy though he was,
admits him to the supreme privilege of the
kingdom. So we come il the name of our
friend Jesus Christ, saying that he has suf-
fered many things f,r our sake, and has paid
in himself the penalty of our sins. We beg
the Father to receive US in respect of the
love of the Saviour Son, and we are received.
Oh sweet and wonderous love of Christ bring
ing us near | We have nothing to recon-
mend US to God save this! This we may
gratefully claim, for all of our indebtedness
to broken law was assumed by him. He
stands in our stead, as the perfect satisfaction
to its just claims. All of the dread penalty
was paid in the life and death of the merci-
full Saviour-God Incarnate How great
this debt of ruin and sin was, how wide the
salvation purchased, how supreme the wisdom
and love involved, eternity alone may express
to our souls. We have to attain to che an
gel stature before we shall understand it in


its largest meaning. However, here, in this
shadow land we may catch bright glimpses
of its majesty, now and then, in some wrapt
hours of inspiration when the Spirit lifts
the veil of sense away, for time-but the
vision is but suggestion of what lies con


cealed beyond. We can not stretch our
finite minds to take in the infinite; We have
not ears attuned to the higher harnonies
which God evolves; but some day perhaps
we may know what is this salvation and what
in grace and love the Saviour brings to u.s.


In the meanwhile, we have the secret coun-
tersign to brethren into the ear of our God
and Judge, For Jesus sake, and this shall


never fail to gain US acceptance and mercy

Quiet and pale and sweet ami fair
They shrouded her for rest:
Wreathing the lilies round her hair,
And the violets over her breast.
Pure as the rose of the milkwhite flower
Was the heart of that maiden dead;
Peaceful and calm as the funeral hour
Was the soul that afar had fed
Into the room where the maiden lay
Three men drew softly near;
Three m n who had loved her, all, well-a-
day,


For many and many IA year.
And one whose eyes were black as night
Made wildly a desolate moan;
"Never to me shall the skies be bright
0rpeace TO my soul be known.'
And one whose eyes were bright and blue
AS the clouds In the = oring-tide.air,
Stopped lowley the pale, still lips unto
And lovingly kissed them there.
And one whose forehead was white and
wan,


Whose eyes were stern and gray,
Gazed long and sadly her face upon,
Then silently turned away.
They buried her deep where the grass grows
green,


And the birds sing bllthesome ong,
Where over the headstone bright blossoms





Nodding the whole day long.
Nodding. still nodding when the sun
In the summer with shimering glow,
For the maiden died and the wall was done
Many long years ago.
The days were dimmed OF the dark-eyed
man


In tempest of misery and strife.
And wild with sin were the years that ran
The course OF his stormy liie.s
And the blue-eyed one aud his pulses beat
Quick when he heard her name,
Until his heart with rapture sweet
new love softly came
But the wan browed man went forth that
day


With the new born light In his soul,
To guide the footsteps till over the way
The shadow of death should roll.
Ne'er'his lips came a smile again,
Nor yet to his eye tear,
But never thereafter or guile or stain
To the sad strong heart came near.

Act was materially altered by the interpola-
ton of little wort,, so that The Daily Regis
ter was designated as the official paper in
which should be published "every notice or
advertisement in legal proceedings" OR
which may be required by law to be pub
I" lished in one or more papers" of this city or
county. 1t is easy to see what a tremendous
difference this modest conjunction makes. 1t
gives The Daily Register a claim not only upon
legal notices but upon "every notice or ad-
vertisemcnr of any kind which the law re-
quircs to be published. Ia accordance with
this false reading of the Act, we learn from
The Eueaiag Post that the proprietors of The
Register are demanding the publication of the
bank statements, and of partnership and Othe r
notices, and we presume they are levying upon
all advertisers whom they can reach.


OF course the judges, when they signed the
designation, were innocent of the deception
of which they were made the instruments, and
they will no d0ubt take measures to correct
The error without days delay. But we hope
the Legislature will also consider whether, in
view of this fresh indication of the character
of the Illegal Paper job" the act of last ses-
sion ought not to be abolished altogether.
The Daily Register may so on printing notices

One Of the men most prominently men
toned as likely TO succeed Mr.. Gladstone as
Liberal leader is the Marquis of Harrington.
Anything which he says about British politics
may be assumed TO have, to certain extent,
the authority of tho Liberal organization.
His statement that the British people are
not prepared for di5estabishment of the
Church of England is not very astonishing
What is observable, however, is the absence
of anything which may be taken rs condem-
nation of the principle of disestablshment.
When the Marquis of harrington only opposes
disestablishment on the ground Of expediency
we should be prepared to find him and u
large body of Liberals supporting it after
more advanced men have sufficiently prepared

In letter elsewhere printed Mr. Sheppard
Homans sets forth q truth of the grayest i'm
pOrtance to every man who handles green
back or hopes to own a United States bond.
1t is that it is inconsistent with the public
security to have all the processes of printing,
numbering sealing, and issuing the National
currency and bonds begun and ended within
the Treasury building, or even within
any single city. The chances for cOllu-
sion between employees are too numer-
Gus. The plan which gave the different pro-
cesses in the manufacture of a single bond or
a single greenback to different establishments
under separate control in different cities,
seems to us not only wise but indispensable.
There is risk enough at the best. We cannot
afford to increase this risk tenfold by aban
doning the safeguards we have had, and con-
centrating the whole dangerous business of
printing our currency and bonds in such a
place as Washington.

merit of strict truthfulness as well as rare
concispness, and is altogether one of the best

If gentle and mild treatment is observed
aud persevered in, the operation Of milking
appears to be one of pleasure to the animal,
as il undoubtedly is but if an opposite
course is pursued,-if, at every restless
movement, caused, perhaps, by pressing a
sore teat, the animal is harshly spoken to-
she will be likely to learn to kick as habit,
and il will be difficult to overcome II ever
afterwards. To induce quiet and readiness
to give down the milk freely, it is better that
the COW should be fed at milking time with
cut feed, or roots, placed within her easy
reach.


After all the COW is to be regarded as an
instrument Of transformation, a machine for
the fabrication Of milk. The food is the raw
material, milk the product, SdLaJie aud al
ways in demand. The machine, or the COW,
is the capital invested, costing nearly as
much when not running, or running on half
work, as when on full steam. How absurd,
therefore, how Shortsighted, and un6usiness
kke it is for the farmer to slacken up the
supply Of raw material, or by neglect, ex-
posure, or the employment of careless hands,
TO suffer the machine to get out Of order, or
to yield a produce far below its natural ca.
pacity. With so much hay, so much grain,
so many roots, how can the most milk, or
butter, or cheese be made? The conduct of
q manufacturer who owned good machipery,
and an abundance of raw material, and had
the labor at hand, would be considered as
very absurd, if he hesitated to supply the
material. and keep the machinery at work,
at least so long as he could run it with profit.


Stimulate the appetite, then, and induce
the COW to eat, by frequent change Of diet,
not merely enough to supply the constant
waste of her system, but enough and to spare,
of food adapted to the production of milk

In the FARMER of April 8, 1 noticed
piece, Don't go in Debt" You say there
is a great temptation for man, especially
young man, to undertake to " set up for him
self" before he is really able. Especially is
this the case with the young American farm
er. You advise the young men to hire out
until they are able to buy, or nearly so the
farm. My experience is that young, un-
married man that works out for a living,
aud has no one but himself to take care Of,
spends his money for dress and excitement,
and they don't lay up much; and for
young married man to pay house rent, fuel,
provisions, clothing, and other necessities. at
the end of the year, how much better off is
he than at the beginning2 Also if he or
any of his family are sick and he cannot
work, his income stops, and he is surely 60
ing down. Some young men commence with
taking farm at the halves now it one half
will support his family tho other half ought
to pay the interest and something besides.
| should advise the young man to buy his
farm il he pays nothing down, and has his
stock and tools to begin with; then he has
an interest that he never had when at work
for some one else, and every dollar that he
pays gives more satisfaction than if put in
the bank. You say men seldom start in
trade without capital of their own, and
when they do, in nine cases out Of ten they
turn bankrupt in less than ten years. If a
man can mako money with a capital of his
own, why can't he on borrowed capital, for
he could put it out and get interest the same
as he has to pay. 1t is poor management
that cannot make the farm pay the interest
and support family. l know of parties
that bought farms ten and fifteen years ago,
with scarcely anything to commence with,
that are nearly out of debt and prospering,
At certain times in the year farmers are
short of money, and must have groceries and
other small articles. My advice is to Dor.
row the amount you need, and pay interest
on the same, to pay your small bills, so that
you don't owe every man you meet from one
to ten dollars. You say if you have the
best of success, and all of your plans turn

The longer the young cow, with her first
and second calf can be made to hold out,
the more surely will this habit be fixed upon
her, Stop milking her four months before
the next calf, and it will be difficult to make
her hold out to within four or six weeks Of
the time Of oalving afterwards. Induce her,
If possible, by moist and succulent feod, and
by careful milking, to hold out even up to
the time Of calving, if you desire to milk
her so long, and this habit will be likely to
be fixed upon her for life But do not ex-
pect to obtain the full yield of COW the
first year after cAlVing. Some Of the very
best cows are slow to. develop their best
qualities; and no COW reaches her prime till
the age Of Eve or six years.


Aud here we have suggestion to make,
OF too great Importance to be overlooked or
disregarded, with reference to the time the
young heifer should be allowed to come in.
Suppose heiier came in with her first calf
in winter, or cold weather, which prevents
the distention of the tissues Of the skin, and
on dry food, such as she would generally
have at that season, and which produces at
best but little milk. The organs of secretion
will have but slight development, compared
with what they otherwise would, and will
adapt themselves to small yield Of milk.
This will be likely to become fixed habit
which it will be exceedingly difficult to break
up. Hence we sometimes find external signs
aud actual results contradictory.


The extreme Importance Of care and at
tentiOn to these points cannot be oVeresti'
mated. There is constant tendency to dry
up in milch COWS; and it must be guarded
against with special care, till the habit Of
yielding a large quantity, and yielding it
long, becomes fixed in the young animal,
when, with proper care, it may easily be
kept up.

l suppose it is wicked to be hereto, but
the observation Of the past few years has
made me one on the subject of barn eel
When, generation or so ago, the farmers
began TO awake TO the idea that they were
wanting more manure than they raised, barn
cellars were at once introduced as a complete
cure all for the evil and in some cases they
answered portion of the original design,
but have they not done nearly as much harm
as good? In large proportion of the 80
called best barns a stable full Of cattle stand
six months in the year over fetid, steam
ing, smoking mass Of filth, the fumes Of
which, except 10 the coolest weather, are
constantly working their way up through
the cracks 10 the floor to be inhaled by the
poor brutes, and then to give most delicate
flavor TO tho milk, cheese or butter no
matter how much absorbent is used, it is
impossible to prevent the efiuvium from
arising.


These same fumes, too, are sent up into
the hay to give the hay faint odor and re-
mind the cattle, even at meal time, Of what
is beneath them. Is it any wonder that vir-
ulent diseases break out among the herds
kept over the manure heaps2 | rather won
der that every creature standing thus ioes
not become affected, aud that pleuros and
ievers are not an every day occurrence.
Perhaps cellar might be so construed
with ventilatOrs reaching to the roof as TO
prevent any danger from this fruitful source
Of disease, but it Is at present seldom ever
| done.


Some one may ask how would you save
all the manure7 1t is doubtful if for all
practical purposes there is anything better
than cement.lined trench at the rear Of
the stable, carefully filled with fresh earth,
as oflen as it becomes soaked with urine,
when tho manure can be wheeled into pens
built under adjacent sheds, where the hog
can have abundant opportunity to stir up au
odorous perfume If he wants, without endan'
gering tho health of the herd or the reputa'
tion Of the dairy.


One OF the most successful farmers in my
acquaintance has only an earth platform in
his stable with heavy timber at the rear
to prevent the dirt from working back, while
the ground in the rear is daily sprinkled
with fresh dry earth to absorb the urine
