Jossio and George asked why eo much wai mn Jo of a name. A great deal is said in tho Bible about tho Lord's natue and the way we ought to uso it : "Slug praises to his name;1' " Exalt hil name;" "Bless hit name." - W?y, you ask, is so inuoh said about a nero word. If you thiuk a moment, you will '?nico the name of a person bringa up to your ?iud all you know about him. Take any: >ody you axe acquainted with, (and tho ino moat bia natue b spoken, you instantly k?ow how lie thinks, talk?, and acta, and wherein you like or dislike him. His name, instead of being a mere word, is really the ?ame thing as himself. It ia a good or a bad nam?, no oordiug aa he baa behaved well or Ul ; ao that people thiuk bim a good or a bad mau. If yon love him very muoh, you will ?peak Lt ! lovingly ; if you dislike bim, you will ?how (your dislike in tb? way yon ipeak it; and ii you do not oare any thing about him, you will ?how that too. J nat ?o tho Lord's nam? atauda Un ail w? know ot think about hiae ; and if w? lova ans* boner him, we shall alway? apeak hi? uatui j reverently. To use hU name to awear by, ai i wioked men do, ia telling everybody wc sh not oare about him ; and to speak it oaroloss ly, or iu anger, or without thinking who ht is, shows that wo do not really believe iu hin and worship hitu ; for if you rc all y holiuvfb 1 in hun and worehinpe? htm, yan could m more twice his name in vain, than you coule speak lo him or of him disrespaotfully, if yoi saw him stundiug before you. By taking the Lord's name in vain, we ea aa it were, that we do not want bia help, tba we will not havo it, aud that we will go ou au be aa wioked as wo please, without tntudiu him. To "hallow" tho Lord'? name, iat try and always thiuk holy thoughts abou , Vim, to do what ha tolls us to do, aud alwaj think how wo eau most pleaso him. If yo thiuk aud aot thus, you oanuot possibly apes his uamo oxcept with icvovonoe and respect and the moro you are used to thinking ac aotiug thus, tho more you will hallow it. [Child'$ Paper.

Tho aslios operate as a ma ti uro upon tho wheat, even ia the limited quantity of eight bushels per aero. 2. They push tho wheat forward several days, and ia time to csonpe tho hot sultry dayn, which often prevail about the timo of the "hoadiag out" of the wheat; and 8. .They atreugtheu tho stout, giviug it substanoe and solidity. I may here add oue or two more properties to the ashes ; they afford just th?t kiud of pabulum or food whioh is best for tie develop mont sud perfection of the groin, and will, in my opiuioa, also provont the ravages of ibo fly in wheat. I would hero venture th; ro uxark, that whoever tries this eiperiuioni will thereafter aproad his wood fabe? upyu bis wheat as above indicated ; and ia so d*iug be will effectually guard against aad pre/eut the rust lu his wheat.
