Thc fol lowing letters from each, relating to thc sub ject of open communion, will bo road with in*' tc rest. llcmarking upon thc effects of the practice .of open communion on tho English Daptist churches, Mr. Spurgeon says in a letter lato ly published : " Whether upon communion bo right ov not, ono thing I should think is beyond all .disputo, viz : that where it has been adopted it has boon lifo from thc dead to many old and .decaying interests ; nod in no case has ita adop tion retarded thc growth of the churches, ex cept where strict brethren have seceded and i tunde themselves into portius. I do not look . upon thc fact as of any consequence, because . churches may grow all thc inoro with a soi1' . of incrcaso uudcr unhealthy systems; but I .venture to assert that our largest, most grow ing churches everywhere, except in York' whim, aro all open communion. Indeed, '.striot communion, is about extinct among us? .except iu certain districts. Thc assertions which you'nlludo toare baseless, and tho small .show of statistics, taken years ago, and in n .limited area, goes for nothing. Ask any man, who knows England, and ho will tell you that she practico of open com mun ion has been thc tign of growth among us, and has always fol. lowed at tho heels of enlightenment."

Three or four crops of diflcrcut kinds are grown on the same spot. Thc tomatoes aro large and full, and in a short time will bo fit to eat. There is fruit in nbuudanoo on thc place, figs, pears and peaches-some of tho latter-the nut meg variety-being ripe at the present time. Thc Colonel keeps several cows, and not only furhishos his large family with milk, but dis ; poses of sufficient to supply his animals with food. Taken all in all, his is a "model homo," aud proves conclusively what can bc accom plished with a little energy. Tho colored man referred to above is entitled to great credit; he docs thc marketing for thc family, milks and attends to four cow.?, runs errands, trims and looks after 1,500 feet of hedge, be sides waiting oh tho table and doing odd jobs] in addition to which all tho necessary carpen tcring is turned over to him, with the certain ty of its being properly attended to.

OILINU HARNESS.-Having seen numboi less processes in your vulunblo paper for pr< serving and cleaning harness, I would like t add my experience to tho list, if worthy th space it occupies. In tho first placo, I subject tho harness t ouc or two coats (as tho leather may uood) < lampblack and castor oil, warmed suffioioi to make it penctrato tho stock readily. Tho I make about two quarts of warm soap-sud and with a sponge wash tho harness. Who dry, rub it over with a mixturo of oil and ta low, equal parts, with sufficient lampblack I givo it color, or what is better, Prussian blu which gives it a new frosh look. This con pound should bo applied Spariugly, and wc rubbed io, which oan bo quickly djno, ar will leave a smooth and oloau surface. Thc advantages I claim for this process a these : Fitst Hy saturating thc stock iu tho fir place with oil, tho soap and water arc provo ted from penetrating it in tho process of was ing. When leather is permitted to ftbsoi water or sonp,'it hos nn ultimate tendency harden it. Second. When tho harness is washed fii (ns is generally tho case) thc water repels tl oil j consequently in tho ono caso you ha thc oil inside of the stock, and in tho otb you hnvo tho soap and water. ( Third.. Hy oiling first, it softons tho dil So it can bo washed off in at loastono hf tho timo squired when washed before oilin And also saves t'.'C u scraping" process, whii dofaocs tho groin o? leather.

"Yes, I believe it as tho Apostle Paul states it." "Well then, you cnn go this far ; you will admit that God knows just what will happen, and that therefore, thoro is no uncertainty about it ?" "Yes, I can go that far." "Then, what is tho use of your talking to mc about drinking rum, sinco il is ocrtaiu that I shall drink every dram that God knows that I will drink ?" Thc speaker was a well formed and fino lookiug man, who had on thc clothes of a mo chnnio. Thc above specimen of his meta physics must suffice. He was one of thc best tiicchanios iu tho country, and, whilst sober, had laid up property. In an evil hour he had yielded to thc temptations of an old habit of drinking rum. Ho descended from one stage of degradation to auothcr with great rapidity, and his best friends despaired of his roformaiion, One day I met him in tho office of a law yer. Although in tim forenoon, he was quite tipsoy. Ho was such a bright man, so supe rior in many respects, that I was pained tc seo him going to ruin. My feelings were indicated in my countenance, and per haps anticipating an admonition, Lc said, "I sec you want to speak to mc about my bab its." I admitted it. "I thought so," seid he ; "and now, as 3 want you to confine yourself to things new, ld mc tell you some things which you need no say, for I know them nlrcady a great deal bet ter than you can tell me 1 "You were just thinking what n torribl 8hamo it is for a man whoso mechanical ski] is sought after at a high price, and who coull make himself iodepondent in n bhort time should sacrifice all this to his drunken nppc tito, and reduce himself to pauperism." I said he had hit thc nail on tho head. "I thought so," said ho. "Now you ncc not say anything on this point, for I am al roady convinced ; I know what a fool I at in this respect. I "Then you were thinking of my trcmblin nerves," ho continued, "and were amaze that I dare pour this 'distilled damnatior down into my stomach, when I ara on th verge of delirium tremens all tho timo. Coi fess now, if you were not thinking of this ?" I wns not disposed to deny it. "Just so," said bc, "Now, sir, I kno about this raattor better than you do. I ha\ felt all that Mr. Gough or Hr.

I could not suppress n smile nt tho mau ingenuity and frankness. "But," said he, there is another view my oaso which you aro disposed to urgc You want to remind mc how, ten years ago, courted my wife (and no man had a bott wifo than mino), aud how sho refused to mi ry mo until sho was assured that I had h of? drinking.

I oould not hut admit that ho had dra' tho caso with a boldor hand than I wot havo dared to attempt. . "But thcro is ono ohiof nrgumcnt whi you meant to try on mc.

"And so you nood say nothing to mo nbt this point. I know it alroaely, but if you hi anything now to urgo, I shall bo glac! to h lt." And tku? ho anticipated, and most foroi ."u.w.; m ? i ? j;_ HI I.j stated, some of thc general arguments which a person would ho likely to uso in endeavor ing to recall him to a lifo of temperance. I could not refrain from laughing to seo how ho had taken tho wind out of my sails. But thoroughly warmed with his subjoot, my neighbor stated his case still further : "Sir, you know nothing about thc appctito for rum. My father taught mo to drink it from my childhood. I inherited drunkenness from him, and was a druukard before I woe of ago. For tho love of my wifo I made a mighty effort to conquer my appetite, and thought I had succeeded. Timo and tempta tion showed mc my mistake. "Thc appctito was not removed. In duo time it woke liko a raging demon, and filled mo with uuuttcrablc torments. I would think of my property and of my reputation ; then of my health, cud the horrors of delirium tre mens ; then of my wifo aud childrcu, and of home, and then of thc hell into which tho drunkard will bc cast. I would rush into business with furious energy, and try to ovcr como tho appetite; and yet in thc face of ali theso motives, I would go straight to tho tavern and drink myself drunk. My remorse and shame wero added to other motives to keep mo from repeating thc deed ; but all theso seemed like thc ropes and withes on tho limbs of Sampson. This, sir, is my oaso ; have you anything new to add, which I am not already better acquainted with than you can bc ?" It was tho most impressive tciuperanoo dis course I had ever heard, because pronounced with that unction which came from a tcrriblo cxpcricnco of tho evil which held him with its death-grip. But there is a bright side to thc picture Thc half-drunk lecturer whoso discourse I have outlined, in spite of bia gloomy anticipa tions to tho contrary, has reformed his lifo, and for several years ho has acquired property rapidly. Within a few milos, I know of two other cases quite similar. Both theso men were aa far gone as thc one described^ and wore re garded as perfectly dospcralc.oascs ; but both of them wcro reformed, and now in indepen dent circumstances.
