I nave read it so often that I know everything in it." "Everything, my son? Do yon think yen could not find one chapter that would contain something you have, never yet .noticed?" "Yes, father, I think so. I am sure I know "all that is in the historical parts of the Bible. "Well, let me try too. When were a large number of men fed with a few loaves of Dread, and a supply left when they had don.e eatmg ?" . "Why, father, surely I remember Christ's feeding several thousand persons, at two different times, with a few loaves and fishes." "Very well; those are two instances.? Now ten mo a third/*" "There is no other in the Bible." "You are perfectly sure of that, are you ? Suppose you reflect a little before you an-; swer again." ? .. "Yes, father. I have thought, and I am certain there is no other miracle of the kind mentioned in the Bible." "Well, my son, open your Bible at the fourth chapter of the Fourth Book of Kings." "The Fourth Book of Kings! Father, there is no such book." "Hand me the Bible. What does this] title say ?" "It is 'The Second Book of the Kings, commonly called the Fourth Book of the Kinp.' "Well, there is one thing learned by the boy that knew the Bible so well. Now turn to the fourth chapter, and read from the forty-second verse." "Here it is, sir: ?And there came a man from Baal-shaliaha, and brought the man of God?'" "Who was that man of God ?" "I must look. It was the prophet Elisfca." "Now proceed." "And brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full years of oorn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, th%t. they may eat. And his servitor said, What, altrvnl/l T oaf tliia KafnrA a bnndred men ?? OllUUlU JL Dtvptuiu He said again. Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord." "That wOl do for this time, my son. I have never wished to make the reading of the Scriptures tedious by requiring you to read them continually, without giving you other books to read. But I wanted to convince you how mistaken young people are apt to be in their ideas of their own Knowledge. There are thousands of children? yes, and of men and wqpien too?who would read with great interest many passages of the Bible, if they found them in a fresh and beautiful volume, which they believed to contain nothing but what is published for the first time. Remember this, and let me 5dviBB"ycn ttrread the four books of Kings, and to make a list of all the passages you will find there, which, like the one you have just read, are as new to you as if you had never heard nor read them." THE WONDERFUL HINGES. Little Roswell was making a box with his new set of boy's tools, and the lid was to have a nice pair of brass hinges, which his father had given him. Now, it proved quite a difficult task to the young canienter to adjust these hinges properly, ana when he had finished, he had not succeeded quite to his mind. "It is not so easy to put on a hinge right, mother," he said, "and yet it looks so simple when it is done." "Did you ever think, Roswell, how many hinges there are in your body, andyet how perfectly all of them work'( A ooutn oea islander was once talking with one of our Christian seamen, and he said: 'All the strange things you bring from England in your big ships cannot be compared with my body. When I look at myself, I find I have hinges all over. . If I want to lay hold of anything, there are hinges in my hands and my fingers to do it with. If my heart thinks, and I want to make others think the same, I use the hinges in my jaws, and they help me talk. I could neither walk nor sit down without these hinges.' He seemed full of admiration of the wonderful power which made such a curious machine. This poor converted heathen had reflected more on the works of the Creator, than many who had been favored with far more light. You find it very hard to put on a pair of hinges so they will work well, even after they are all made. Yet think of the millions of human beings in the world, all of which have these curious bodies. What infinite skill it must require to create and keep them in order. Yet, this is only a small part of the Maker's works. The whole animal world is provided for in just as wonderful a manner. Every movement of the butterfly's wings, every stroke of those shining goldfish's fins, as they dart through the water, tell of the Creator's skill. The Lord is pleased to have us study over these matters, and reflect much on the operations of His hands. If we do so with an humble, loving spirit, our hearts will not fail to grow better, the more we learn of tt:? > d i..* xiiui. ?jrrcBin/vvriun. Oherish the Living.?I saw a pale mourner stand bending over the tomb, and his tears fell fast and often. As he raised his humid eye to Heaven, he said: "My brother! 0, my brother!" "For whom dost thou mourn ?" "One," replied he, "whom I did not sufficiently love while living, but whose inestimable worth I now feel." "What wouldst thou do, if he were restored to thee ?" . The mourner replied, that he "would never offend him by any unkind word, but would take every occasion to show his friendship, if he could but come back to his fond embrace." "Then waste not thy time in useless grief," said the sage; "but if thou hast mends, go and cherish the living, remembering that they will be dead one day also." I?""

The sensitive natare of Mosart, that sweetest of all musical composers, is well known. The slightest dis cord produced in him severe irritation, and when engaged m musical composition, his feelings, grew so intense that he almost lost consciousness of all going on around hhn... A story is tolA in Whitney's Musical duett which strikingly illustrates this. Mosartwas engaged in arranging one of the most beautiful airs in an opera he was oomposin^, when the butetar called: for his pay, which had been long due. In vain his wife endeavor ed to attract the attention of the wrapt artist, who scribbled away utterly unconscious of her presence* . "She ran down stairs, with tears" in her eyes, telling the butcher that her husband could not be spoken to, and that be most come another time. But the man of blood was not easily to be dannted?he mnst.have his bill settled, and speak with Mozart hinjself?or lie would not send him another ounce of meat, He ascended the stairs.? Mozart, distantly conscious that something had passed in his presence, had continued pouring the effusions of his fantasia on paper when the heavy footsteps resounded in the hall. His stick was at hand. Without turning his eyes from the sheet, he held his stick against the door to keep out the intruders. "But the steps were approaching. Mozart, more anxious, hurried as fast as he could, when a rap at the door 4etuanded permission to enter. The beautiful effusion was in danger of being lost. The affrighted composer cast a fugitive glance at his stick?it was too short. With anxiety bordering on frenzy he looked around his room, ana a pole standing behind the cur*- - ??.*.?: iu. l. ?: i uu I tam' caugui nut ey? j hub uc himu, uuiulit with all his might against the door, wri| ting iikefury all the while. The knob was turned, bnt the pole withstood the-first effort. A pause succeeded. Words were heard on the staircase, and the intruders renewed their efforts the second time. But the strength of the composer seemed to increase with his anxiety. Large drops of perspiration stood on his forehead. Stemming the pole against his left breast with the force of despair, he still kept out the visitors. He succeeded bat for a moment, yet it was & precious moment?the delightful air was poured upon the paper?it was saved! " 'Mi . Mozart,' said the butcher. " 'Halt! halt!' said the composer, seizing the manuscript, and hnriTing toward the piano-forte. Down he sat/and the most delightful air that was efer heard responded from the instrument. The eyes of his srife, and even of the batcher, began to moisten. Mozart finished the tnhe, rose again, and, running to the writing desk, he ' filled out what was wanting. "'Well, Mr. Mozart,' said the bntoher, when the artist had finished, 'yon know that I am to marry.' "'No, 1 do not,' said Mozart, who had somewhat recovered from hismusical trance. ".'Well, then, you know it now, and you also know that you owe me money for meat.' " 'I do' said, Mozart, with a sigh. I " 'Never mind,1 said the man, under whose ; blood-stained coat bent a feeling heart; 'you make me a fine waltz for my marriage-boll, and I will cancel the debt, and let you have meat for a year to come.' " 'It is a bargain !' cried the lively and gifted Mozart; and down he sat, and a waltz was elicited from the instrumentsuch a waltz as the butcher had never before heard. " 'Meat for a vear. did I sav ?' exclaim ed the enraptured butcher. 4lJo ! one hnndred ducats you shall have for this waltz, but I want it with trumpets and horns and fiddles?you know best?and soon, .too!' "4You shall have it so,' said Mozart, who could hardly trust his ears, and in one hour you may send for it.' "The liberal-minded butcher retired. In an hour the waltz wa.3 set in full orchestra music. The butcher returned, was delighted with the music, and paid Mozart his one hundred ducats?a sum more splen-: did than he had ever received from the Emperor for the greatest of his operas.

Fey met gives his readers of the Paris , Temps a curious anecdote in-regard to Day & Martin's blacking, which has been adver- . tised throughout the world, and even on j the Egyptian Pyramids: , One afternoon Day, then a poor work- 1 man, was drinking his mug of half-and-half in a London ale-house, when a poor and , ragged individual entered, and addressing . himself to those present, said: ; "Who will give me a pint, of ale for a good receipt for blacking?" "I will," said Day, and he ordered the j pint of ale for the new comer. "Now let's have it," said he, and his new ( friend gave him the desired document. "Good," said Day; "now I will give you another pint," which the unknown drank ' and then took his leave. novf marninff r> utt jaiif.lif ann nf V?io I, JLU^ UVAV UiVi JLSiJUJ uvuguv V??V V4 Mao friends, a commercial traveler named Martin, and showed him the recipe. They made a quantity of the blacking, and filled all the old bottles they could obtain with the mixture. ' i This done, a friend of the partners went to all the grocers and blacking merchants of London, and addressed to each one the question, "Have you Day & Martin's black- ; ing ?" And all the shopkeepers naturally enough answered "No." The next day another friend went the rounds, and to each merchant he propounded what his precessor had done, and in each case he received the same answer. < The next day another friend went to i each merchant; but this time the question was, "Would you like to buy some of Day & Martin's blacking?" ? And all the merchants answered, "Willingly," and the fortune of the house of Day & Martin was made.

A correspondent at Boone Hill, Nortl Carolina, has sent us a number of new sub scribers, who are, he says, mostly young men feeling particularly interested in im proVing their farms by manuring, and wisl also to learn how to make the most monej from the least quantity of land. We propose to offer a few suggestions on this subThe great secret of making money from land is to keep it constantly in a high condition. The man who raises twenty-fivl bushels of corn per .acre frbm his ten acre lot-at an expense which is barely paid bj the sale of the crop, receives immeasurably less profit than.il he raised fifty bushels per acre with the same labor of .plowing, hoeing, &c. It often happens that the poorer land oosts the Vnost to cultivate and to keep clean. These points are well understood and admitted, but the great secret to which we allude is less so?or at least is Far less carried out in practice. This is to hup the land at all times in the highest condition. Tob ofteii farmers enrich a field, and ihefr exhaust it in their eager desire to obtain speedy pVofits. It is like feeding a horse. till he is in fine condition, and then working him down to a skeleton in order ty obtain a large amount of cheap labor from him; or uke giving high feeding to growing animals at intervals, and starving them at other times. Every good manager knows that all animals are more easily and cheaply kept in good order by uniform treatment than by alternately building up and running down, and those which ire growing will grow ten times as fast under the former system. It is just 90 in managing farms. If they are in poor condition, improve them by a continued and uniform system of renovation; if already rieh, keep them so by the same uniform course. The question , occurs, tfhat is {he best way to increase fertility ? And what is the cheapest manure ? A book might be written on the subject: we shall only sketch an outline in a few brief hints. - *?r x j ? 1 amy iroxu mjwb auu cities, ?uu uuuci ordinary circumstances, the cheapest manure is the red clover plant. The most economical expenditure is not for guano, nor far super-phosphate, but for clover seed. In pissing through the newer, as well as the less improved States, any observing firmer w31 perceive that the great deficiency is the want of clover. One good crop turned under is eqnal to one heavy manuring. The cost of seed for an acre need not exceed three dollars; the labor and expense in sowing and raising in a good rotation, and with other crops, is comparatively smail-^-fai less than carting, spreading and properly applying a heavy boating of mannre, with its priee added. Manure should indeed be carefully saved and properly applied, for the farmer needs every help of the kind. But to enrich five hundred acres, with only enough manure for twenty, is impossible. There is a limit to the amount of manure, but no limit to the mode of enriching by plowing in clover.- A hundred or two hundred or three hundred acres may be sown if necessary; plaster it after harvest, or in aotuton, and agaiiTnexVspring. Jf.manure is the sole object, turn under a heavy crop the first year; If, as nearly always happens, hay or pasture are desirable, plow tne second year. In one respect, no difficulty occurs, nor special skill is required; but, whenever a heavy crop of the clover goes under, the soil cannot fail to be enriched. Next in importance, to clover, is yard manure. Good management will produce double, triple, or quadruple the amount obtained under neglect. See that none is wasted. Let it all b? absorbed by a sufficient, tmiform and regular application of Straw titter. \ If straw is abundant, apply it more freely but not irregularly?so that it may be evenly diffused with the manure. Throw it np in heaps, and exposure to the weather will more speedily rot it down.? If this is done in spring, trim off the strawy outsides with a hay-knife by mid-summer, and throw the trimmings np into the middle. These heaps will do to apply as a topdressing in autumn to wheat6 elds, after plowing and before sowing, or to clover or other grass land, intended for plowing the succeeding spring for corn?the best and cheapest way to obtain large crops. The earlier the manure is applied to the grass in autnmn the Ijetter, and it is worth doable or tripple the value obtained from it, il left to be applied to corn ground in spring. If litter can only be obtained in small quantities* itvshould. be carefully kept in heaps under shelter, to prevent washing away by rains. In addition to yard manure, the careful farmer will save many other substances to-cast into the manure heap, which will be useful auxiliaries, but they cannot go very far towards fertilizing a farm. The mail! dependence, we again repeat, must be, first, on clover,-and secondly on yard manure; 1: A few'words as tp the best rotation for an enriching system. The one which brings in a grain crop most frequently, admitting the land may be seeded down to clover, every crop of which is to be plowed under when in W*vy growth, will be the best.? But to prevent the increase of weeds, hoed crops must have their place, and thorough and repeated use of the cultivator employed to eradicate permanent weeds. At the North, a favorite rotation is, first, corn- on ' ' * ?J ^YYlA inverted clover ?ou, wp-ui csocu mtu imanure the previous antnmn. Secondly barley, oats, peas, or any spring crop which can Jbe taken off parly enough for sowing whedfc. If wheat follows oats, manure is applied, unless the land is previously quite rich. Some pursue the practice of sowing a moderate amount of timothy seed or herd's grass, at the time the wheat is sown ; others, deeming this injurious to the wheat by the early start which the grass thus receives, and its rank growth among the wheat the following season, when on strong soils, prefer to sow the timothy about three weeks later. Early the following spring clover seed is applied at the rate of a peck per acre, ana the land is allowed to remain as meadow the next year, and pastured the following, previously to breaking up again for corn. This course gives only one manuring with inverted clover in five years ; and it being necessary to plow it under in spring, the chief benefit is "from the roots, which are valuable both as an enricher and a loosener of compact soils. This course may be modified by sowing the clover with the barley or thinly seeded oats thpfeoond year?if .we sow the oats at the rate only a bushel per acre, the clover seed nearly always takes well ;i?iwo or thcee bushels are sown, the clover is often smothered. This clover may be plowed ip the first or second year following, when ht ftril growth, and K wheat sown on the inverted sod?to be abe familiar to many of oar readers; bat as - business?and, like those who have elicited > these remarks, possessing comparatively ' little experience, Ire trust they will prove 1 useful, and we liope -they will call oat from r accurate cultivators the results of their ex' periiqente on t&eee different point*. f ortrillr nntilJS?ITV* ADVANCE * ' One Copy, one year,....-.. 3 50 1 One Copy, Six months, 2 00 ' Ono Copy, Three months, 1 0? , Two Copies, one year, 6 00 ' Five Copies, " 44 - ... 12 50 l Ten Copies, 44 44 25 00 ,?20-To persons who make up c^u^s of ten or . more names, an extra cOpy of roe paper will be furnished one year,.free Qf charge.
