WHAT I LIVE FOB.
I live for those that love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For all human ties that bind me;
? For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left Dehind me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story
Who've suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages;
The noble of all ages;
Whose deeds crowd history's pages,
And time's great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine;
To feel therein is union
'Twixt nature's heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfil each great design.
I live to hail that season
i By gifted minds foretold,
When man shall live bv reason,
And not alone by gold!
When man to man united,
' And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world sbaH be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me *
And fnr tlinsn trhn Irnnw fptlfl.
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too.
For the cause that lucks assistance;
For the wrong that needs resistance;
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

A LEGAL. WAG.
Judson T. Mills, of South Carolina, was
judge of a district court in Northern Texas,
fond of a joke, but very decided in his discharge
of duty. Thomas Fannin Smith was
a practicing lawyer at the bar, and having
shamefully misstated the law in his address to
the jury, turned to the court, and asked the
judge to charge the. jury accordingly. The
judge was indignant and replied:
"Dqes the counsel take the court to be a
fool f
Smith was not abashed by the reproof, but
instantly responded:
"I trust your honor will not insist on an answer
to that question, as I might, in answering
it truly, be considered guilty of contempt
of court."
"Fine the counsel ten dollars, Mr. Clerk,"
said the judge.
Smith immediately paid the money, and
remarked it was more than the court could
show.
"Fine the counsel fifty dollars," said the
Judge. .
The fine was entered by the clerk, and Smith
not being ready to respond in that sura, sat
aown. 100 next morning, on me opening 01
the court, Smith arose, and with much deference
of manner, began:
"May it please your honor, the clerk took
that little joke of yours yesterday about that
fifty dollars as serious, as I perceive from the
reading of the minutes. Will your honor be
pleased to inform him of his error, and have
it erased ?"
The coolness of the request, and the implied
apology, pleased the Judge, and he remitted
the fine.
THE MARRIAGE VOW.
A marriage ceremony was performed, years
ago, in Bossier Parish, La., by a newly elected
magistrate. He owned a magistrate's form
book, and was in the habit of turning a leaf at
important places. Having been called upon
to marry a couple, he had recourse to this unfailing
fountain of knowledge and information
; but douoting his capacity to repeat the
service from memory, down went a leaf. The
eventful evening came. The trembling couple
stood in the august presence of the'magistrate,
who, with book in hand, thought himself equal
to any emergency. Opening the volume at a
place where a leaf was turned, in solemn and
impressive tones he began: "One day afterdate
I promise"?confusion! he had opened at the
wrong page. Considerably staggered, but still
resolved, he turned to another page?"Know
all men by these presents"? Here be broke
down md stood utterly abashed. Rallying,
however, with a mighty effort, he shut the
book and sternly demanded: "Do you promise
to do unto this woman as other men ao unto
their wives, so help you God ?"

The Helena Gazette publishes the following
challenge to a spelling match, made by the

while reciting a lesson (says an exchange),
from the sermon on the Mount, broke out:
"Ma, did Jesus get 82000 a year for preaching
"No, my child; he did not get anything."
"Why didn't they pay him ?"
"Because he refused to preach politics.
The devil offered him a big salary to do it,
But he would not accept the call."
t&" A lady not long since visiting a cemetery,
in Gardiner, Me., with her little daughter,
observed in one of the stones a neatly cut I
figure of a horse. Wondering why such an i
emblem should be used, they examined the |
inscription closely, but could find no clue to j
its appropriateness, when the little girl re-1
marked: "I presume she died erf the night-1
mare."
A clergyman went to a hotel to order a

you ?" "A great deal, sir," rejoined the waiter.
"Ifhigh church, I must provide more}
wines; if low church, more wittles."

That was a shrewd girl, and not devoid
of sense, either, who remarked, when other
girls were making fun of her short skirts and
pants, and affected to be much shocked
at the exhibition thereof at a party: "If
you'd only pull up your dresses about your j
necks, where they ought to be, they'd be as i
short as mine!" She was not troubled any '
more.
for "Doctor," said a lady, "I want you to

doctor, after feeling her pulse. "Now, doctor,
just look at ray tongue," she persisted. "Just
look at it; look at it. Now, say, what does
it need ?" "I think that it needs rest too,"
replied the doctor.
l6r"What do you call this?" said Mr.
Jones, tapping his breakfast plate with his
fork.
"Callit?" said the landlady; "why? what

don't know. There is hardly enough hair in it
for mortar, but entirely too much for hash."

CULTURE AND USE OF ONIONS.
An agricultural writer says: "I cannot
say, if I were counsel of the realms of Epicurus,
I should permit the passport of these habitants
of the garden into good society at all;
although the proper dressing gives them, as it
does human adventurers, considerable assistance
in taking desirable positions. But being
of the most republican faith, t. e., that the
good of the masses should ever be the paramount
consideration of the good citizen, I am
induced to place onions at the very top of the
list of large families' edibles. These bulbs are
not only popular, healthy and nutritive, but
absolutely medicinal. I "have known inveterate
dyspepsia cured by the use of raw onions
as a^daily tonic, and on philosophical principles.
They have the same exciting influence
on the coating of the stomach that they have
on the eyes, calling out gastric juices as freely
as they do tears from the visual organs.
For Doultices thev are invaluable.
Onions are multiplied, as all know, by various
methods. In this climate, by sowing
little black seed very early, they can be raised
large enough the first year for table use;
these are called rare ripe. But it is usual to
pull the products of these little seed, dry them
for sets, and plant them in the Fall or ensuing
Spring. The top onion is a sure dependence
for a general crop. In this climate nny onions
will grow, but the red and silver skinned
are better keepers, and the last generally attain
the finest si2e. Strong ground, shallow
planting, and clean culture insure success.
JBut the most valuable fact I have leamed
concerning onions is that, like potatoes, you
mav eat and then plant them.
f had a hardy variety called Welsh onions.
The top and bottom, being trimmed off in
preparation for use, was thrown on a compost
heap. One day a child brought me some of
these bottoms to show me that the onious
I had thrown away were growing again. I
took several bunches of these bottoms to the
garden, set them out, and they grew as thrifty
as if they had been perfect offsets from the
old row. Taking the hint, I cut off' the bottoms
off other varieties, pieces as large as a
silver twenty-five cent piece, with the fibrins
roots attached, and set them out They also
sprouted, and being satisfied that they would
grow, I allowed the thorns of other cares to
choke them out of my memory, and so I cannot
say what size bulb they would have produced,
but record this for the benefit of persons
having small gardens, who will be at the
pains to plant the bottom of their onions as
fast as they use them, thus enjoying two cfrops
from the same piece of ground and same seed
in one year.
A NINE ACRE*LOT OF COTTON.
Editors Southern Cultivator: In compliance
with your request in the .January number of
the Cultivator, I herewith hand you details
and results of the cultivation of nine acres of
cotton the past season, and trust its plain
statement will correct the extravagant reports
in circulation, of my "wonderful yield"?also
{>rove a satisfactory answer to the numerous
etters addressed to me from all parts of the
country, as it is impossible for me to reply
singly to each.
Land on the hill side had been well enriched
for many years; plowed an Average depth
of ten inches in March, rows laid off four and
a half feet apart with Brinly's No. 1, and a
mixture of 200 lbs. Peruvian guano, 100 lbs.
dissolved bones, 100 lbs. plaster and 100 lbs.
salt per acre, strewed in the furrow. The
earth was then returned and a small seed furrow
opened. In the middle of April, at intervals
of twenty inches, the seed (a close selection
of Dickson's of my own picking) was
dropped and covered with the foot. When
the plants were well up, the rows were lightly
and carefully scraped with sharp hoes and
the alleys kept clean with a handle harrow.
As the season progressed, the plants were gradually
thinned to one in the drill. The grass
and weeds were smothered, as soon as they
sprouted, by the constant use of the barrow,
so that the cotton got the whole benefit of the
land.
The crop from the nine acres amounts to
seventeen bags, of four hundred and forty
Sounds each. The land was not all measured,
ut I feel safe in estimating it at nine acres.
One field, which was selected as an average
of the whole crop, was carefully surveyed by
Prof. Rutherford, and contains 3 67-100 acres,
yielding 9,652 lbs. seed cotton (or 2,636 lbs.
per acre). One portion, say one and oneihalf
acre, very thin land, scarcely made one
bag per acre, wBile on another portion, heavily
dressed for Irish potatoes in 1867, the yield
was probably 4,000 lbs. per acre. There were
over two hundred bearing fruit trees, from
five to ten years old, scattered through the
fields, so that it is impossible to arrive at any
correct estimate of the actual yield.
Good land, deep ploughing, pure fertilizers,
carefully selected seed, and shallow, continuous
work produced the result.?Cor. Southern

ON FEEDING HORSES.
Horses should never be fed within an hour
before being put to work, and should then be
worked but slowly until the bowels are fully
evacuated. Water should never be given to
them in large quantities before being put to
work, and not at all on their coming off work,
while hot, still less when jaded and exhausted.
It should be supplied them often and in
abundance, not so much in large draughts at
a time, which improperly distend the stomach,
as in small quantities at frequently recurring
intervals. New corn is emphatically dangerous
as horse feed, and should never be used
as such; being heating, it is very apt to cause
colic, and even acute inflammation. Old corn
may be allowable, but should only be given
sparingly and cautiously, in the ratio of two
quarts where you would give three of oats.
Moistening both hay and oats is especially
beneficial to the wind, and is a good practice.
Horses are fond of salt, and small quantities
should occasionally bg mixed with their food.
The training of horses for racing is, comparatively
speaking, limited to a small class
of people, and, being of-little general interest,
demands but a passing notice under our heading.
Herbert says it consists, of course, in
getting the horse for a short time into the
highest possible state of condition; hardness
of flesh, excitement of spirits, bloom of coat,
speed of foot and depth of wind, which is effected
by combining the most nutritious and
stimulating system of feeding, with such constant
and severe exercise, and such medical
treatment as, while exciting and raising every
power of the animal to the utmost, prevents
fever, prevents surfeit, and, for the time, preserves
an equilibrium?which, however, at
best, is only temporary, and cannot possibly
be prolonged ad infinitum. It is an abnormal
condition ; and while it develops the utmost
powers of the creature, it requires the greatest
skill and the most constant attention on the i
part of the person who undertakes to produce |
it?American Stock Journal.
Education of the Agriculturist.?
Daniel Webster said: "No man is so high as
to be independent of the success of this great
interest; no man is so low as not to be affected j
by its prosperity or decline. The cultivation J
of the earth is the most important labor of j
man. Man may be civilized, in some degree,
without great progress in manufactures, and ;
with little commerce with his distant neigh- j
bors, but without cultivation of the earth, he 1
is, in all countries, a savage. Until he gives
up the chase and fixes himself to some place i
and seeks a living from earth, he is a roaming
barbarian. When tillage begins, other arts J
follow. The farmers, therefore, arc the found-;
srs of human civilization."
Lierality in Farming.?Liberality in j

the more profitable are they.
So also is it with his working cattle and his
stock. The most perfect of tneir kinds are
ever the most profitable.?Hon. Jonah Quin-;

THE INVENTOR OF STEEL PENS.
No tody who has to pay for his own stationery
now thinkB of using the goose quill for
writing purposes. The feather, classical and
emphatic, only retains its hold in public offices,
where the State or some other reckless
spender of the people's money provides the
furniture. The new members of the Legislature,
on making the acquaintance of the State
House, generally indulge, for tradition's sake,
in a few awkward attempts at writing with
the quills that aro still provided at the ancient
hostelry, but as soon as they get over their
reverence for the dignity of the Commonwealth
they return to the harder steel pens, and carve
into toothpicks the rejected weapons.
The steel pen is now so universal a tool that
it is difficult to contemplate it as amoug the
things that had to be invented. Nevertheless,
it has fought its way up, with the other
labor-saving machines of civilization, and has
as complete a history as the steam engine or
telegraph. James Perry, an English schoolmaster,
who drudged at whittling his urchins
J _ J
quills made tiie nrst steei pen, ana was so gouu
a business man that he succeeded in introducing
it as the Perryan pen. In 1823 he had
fifty men engaged in the business of making
pens; but it was left for Jeremiah Mason to
make the pen popular. The sai&e man, by
the way, who a few months since became a
second Peabody by establishing an orphan
asylum endowed with $1,200,000.
Mason was a Kidderminster carpet-weaver,
but went to Birmingham, and manufactured
pins, needles, shoe-strings, and other infinitesimal
essentials. Here he saw in a shop window
a steel pen, priced at sixpence. He bought
three, made better and lighter ones at a cost
of a penny and a quarter a piece, and sent
specimens to Perry. The inventor waB delighted,
advanced money to Mason, and the
intercourse so honorably commenced, ended
in partnership and mutual wealth. Perry has
since died, and Mason is now the sole proprietor
of the Perryan Pen.
The Little People.?A little girl was
rebuked by her mother for her fondness of killing
flies. The little 'one had acquired great
dexterity- in this employment, and was so
much occupied in it that the parent found she
was Wowing into a state of cruelty. Calling
the child to her side one day, she said in a saa
tone, "Mary, dear, don't you know that God
loves the little flies?" Mary seemed to hear
the words as though they suggested a great
many new ideas. She stood by her mother's
side for some time in thoughtful sadness, and
at length walked slowly up to the window
where a bewildered fly was humming and buzzing
about on the pane. She watched it lovingly
for some time, and then, almost too full
of grief to spei.1 plainly, she began to utter
carressing words, "Doz ee fly know dat Dod
luvess oo? Doz oo love Dod?" Here she
extended her "hand fondly toward the insect
as if to stroke away the terror that she felt
she had inspired. "Doz oo want to see Dod ?
?well," in a tone of intense love and pity, at
the same time putting her finger on the fly
and softly crushing it against the glass, "well,
oo shall."

j What Slacked Lime Will Do.?A
thrifty farmer, who believes in "making old
things last iq these times," says: "There is
[ one thing that nearly everybody knows, and
hardly anybody attends to?that is, to sprinkle
| lime on their roofs once a year, either in fall
or spring. If the shingles are covered ever
so thick with moss, the nme clears it off, leaving
the roof clean and white, and good for a
dozen years longer. It ought to be put on
pretty thick, and a rainy day is best for the
work. Strong wood ashes will answer almost
as well to keep old roofsin repair, but they will
not look as nice. To make shingles last three or
foilr times their usual period, they need only
to be soaked a few days in a tank half full of
thick lime water, which mu^t be stirred up
well before the shingles are put in.
A Sm a kt Child.?A good story comes from
Rome. In preparation for the (Ecumenical
Council, the Pope ordered from his architect
certain embellishments, the plan of which was
brought for his inspection by that gentleman's
little boy. Charmed by the plan, the Pope
opened a drawer full of gold, and said to the
child, "Take a handful of coin as a reward
for the beauty of your father's work." "Holy
father," replied the child, "take it out for
me : your hand is bigger than nine." Pius
IX- could not help smiling, and obeyed the
child.
Live in the Sight of God. ? ThiB is

God. Do nothing you would not like him to

which you would not like God to say, "Show

way you would not like God to say, "What
art thou doing ?"

CHRIST OUR LIFE.
The most cursory reader of the Bible must ^
know that the penalty of sin is death, if the
teachings of the Bible are true. Neither can ^
it be unknown to any one, at all familiar with j(
the teachings of Scripture, that it is taught in,?
them in every possible way, and by every j
mode of expression, that all are sinners. The ?
plain logical conclusion to which we are forced
is, that we are dead, if-the Scriptures are true j
or if we are not dead, the teachings of the c
Scriptures arc palpably false. No doubt this t
subject has given many individuals much trou- j
ble. The Bible declares in the most emphatic
manner, in the most unmistakable language, .
that death would be inflicted upon Adam as 1
the penalty of his disobedience on the very ?
day he eat of the forbidden truit. i ne uibie
most explicahly declares that lie did eat of t
the forbidden fruit. The question naturally ^
suggests itself to the mind. Why did he not
die ? He did die, and all the difficulties connected
with the subject have their origin in
an erroneous notion of the word death.
c
In common conversation, wc are uccustomed .
to call that death which is only one of the re- ^
suits or consequences of death, and by no>
hieans the most calamitous. The most *
ral notion which we have of death is the separation
of soul and body, or the suspension of ?
the involuntary functions of our nature. The ^
blood ceases to circulate, the lungs and respiratory
organs cease to act, and we say the i
individual dies. But this is not death, it is .
only one of the effects of death.
In the true Bible sense of the word death, .
Adam died the very moment the forbidden .
fruit was tasted. All communion and fellowship
between God and him ceased. His na- *
ture, which was before spiritual, became carnal
and enmity against God.. A fearful state of
alienation between God and His creature man ,
now took place. God became terribly incensed.
He cursed with a grievious curse ,
everything with which man was in any way ,
connected. The earth was smitten with bar- r
renness. Instead of spontaneously bringing c
forth supplies for man and beast, it produces
.1 i ^ J a_ i_;_ i j
morns ana inisues, ana man geus ma uruau iu
the sweat of his face. Man became the open
foe to God. All the holy affections of His ^
being ceased to exist, and remorse, regret
and shame, the badges of guilt, took their
place. Man's soul was plunged into a sea of ^
trouble. Anxiety and fear, sorrow and dis-^
appointment are his portion. God frowns ,
and man fears. He trembles, he dreads, he
flees, he hides. Heaven-abandoned and con- ^
science-condemned sinner, he lives in continu- t
al agony lest God's justice may overtake him.
This is death. A soul deserting, and deserted
! by God, is the worm that never dies and the .
fire that is never quenched.
Christ is our life in that He restores peace
and friendship, union and communion between ?
God the creator, and man the creature. He .
is appropriately called the King of peace 1!
His advent into our world was hailed by the D
angelic choir by shouts of "Glory to God in' ?
the highest and peace on earth." He is the 1
blessed peace-maker between an insulted God ^
and an insulting sinner. He satisfied, by Hislife
of holy obedience, the perceptive demandJ c
of God's law, and by His vicarious, death
rendered a perfect satisfaction to the claims o!
justice against the sinner. Jesus lived for sin c
iiers, and Jesus died for sinners. Lived thai f
they might not die, and died that they mighl v
live forever leaning on the bosom of His Fath- 0
er, and basking eternally in His smiles. Fol P
the restless and hopeless sinner, He purchased, ^
by His agonizing death, an endless rest?a n
rest not of motion but of harmony?that rest o
for which the soul longs. Sin fills the soul h
with confusion. Jesus restores order in the g
soul by pardoning its guilt Sin defiles the *
the soul; Jesus cleanses it by washing us in ^
His cleansing blood. Sin fills the soul with .

Jesus gives us new hearts, and new desires' 3
I and heavenly affections. He gives us hearts t
of flesh, and writes upon them God's law, and c
vouches safe power to obey them. ^ ?

JUSTIFICATION. . t
I The celebrated reformer, Martin Luther, c
said that justification by faith is the article of J
a standing or falling church. So far as is'1
known, this sentiment receives the hearty ap-> J
proval of all good men in every denomina- (
tion of protestants. Justification by faith, j
without the deeds of the law, is protestanism. 3
No doctrine taught in the Bible is so impor- )
tant as justification. It lies at the very foun- 1
dation. It is the pillar by which the whole j
fabric of salvation is supported. j
The word justification is used, generally, in |
the Bible in its ordinary acceptation. L lit- I
erally signifies the act of making just. But 1
in order that we may have a clear and cor- ]
rect idea of what is meant by "making just," *
we must attend to the history of the word. It
is clear to any one who has attentively read
the Bible, that justification, taken to signify j
as stated above, must be carefully distinguish- <
ed from sanctification, which means, so far as 3
mere words are concerned, nearly the same !
thing. The ambiguity is in the English word
"making" Every one knows that it, like al- x
most every other word, is used so as
a great mai.y shades of meaning. Sometimes 1
it signifies about the same thing that creating j
does; sometimes it clearly imports forcing. I '
can say with propriety, that I made a pen, !
and that I made my enemy surrender. But
an attorney can say with propriety, that the j
court made his client innocent or guilty. This *
we admit would not be the common mode of .1
expression at present; but it would still be 1
- * -r n . t .1 In
correct and intelligible, in ract, tnis was tne expression
once used. The court by its de- j
cision made the accused guilty or innocent T
according to the evidence adduced. Making e
just and declaring just, were then regarded as s
expressions of similar import, This is the t
import of justification in the Bible. Whea- 1
ever it is distinguished from sanctificatiou, it *
signifies simply to pronounce or declare, as a
judge, that the accused is just or righteous, g
and sanctificatiou signifies to infuse or create ^
within the individual righteousness. t
Justification nmd sanctificatiou, evidently, t
are set before us in the Scriptures as different ^
views of the same thing. In justification we c
arc declared righteous; in sanctification we
are made righteous by the efficacious opera- j
tions of God's spirit. The justifier is God. \
"It is God who justifies," is the oft repeated f
declaration of the Bible. The individual jus- t
tified is the ungodly sinner. Just at this J
point it is necessary that we give the subject a j
careful investigation. How can God declare
an ungodly sinner just? Human courts often
pronounce individuals guilty or innocent, from 1
a want of sufficient evidence of a proper kind. r
All that a human court requires in order to E
pronounce an accused individual iunoce^t or
just, is the failure of the accuser to prove his a
guilt. Hence, from various causes, it often s
happens that the innocent amongst men is v
ondemned'and the guilty go free or uncon[emned.
Such a state of things necessarily
esults from the short-sightedness of human
ourts. But such cannot be the ease before
he tribunal of an omnicient God. He knows
or thoughts as well as our deedsi His omlicience
supplies every defect that can exist
a human courts. The innocent cannot be
ondemned nor the guilty cleared from the
rant of ability to get at the evidence. There
3 then a peculiar emphasis in the question,
How can God justify the ungodly sinner?"
f man was not a sinner there would be no difficulty
in the way. God, as judge, would have
lothing to do but declare the fact of man's
nnocence or righteousness. But since it is
onceded that man is a sinner?a rebel against
he law and justice of God?how can God
leclare that man is just?
A little reflection will convince any one that
t is absolutely necessary that an obedience
oust be rendered to God's law before the jus
1 ?Ml U XT:?
itc auu uuui ui uuu wiii j/ciiint iaiui vu utilare
an ungodly sinner just. This obedience
he sinner cannot render. By an immutable
aw of nature, no individual can, iu fact and
eality, be a righteous and a wicked person
it the same time. No man can both violate
nd obey perfectly the law of God. The contusion
to which the Apostle Paul comes,
s that by the deeds of the law no flesh shall
e justified. Not because obedience is not relied,
but because the whole of Adam's race
sinned; and hence, have no obedience by
diich they can be justified. This we believe
i the teachings of reason and revelation. A
eart-felt knowledge of our moral condition
nd the unflinching justice of God, and also
f the fact that God positively declares that
he wages of sin is death, is eminently calcuited
to beget within us feelings of despair.
3ut God made provisions for the sinner. He,
nthe plentitude of His wisdom, devised a
>Un by which He can justify the ungodly,
ml still be just. Nothing is more simple
han this plan which God has devised to jusjfy
sinners. Jesus, the second person of the
Sbdhead, takes upon himself not the nature
il angels, but the nature of the seed of Abraum.
In the exercise of His omnipotence, he
acame really and truly man. In the full1588
of His love and mercy,the Son of God be&me
the son of man, and as the sinner's subrttdte,
placed himself under the law of God,
nd rendered a perfect obedience in thought,
rord and deed to this law. He obeyed the
aw of God for the sinner. He* placed himelf
in the sinner's law, room and stead; and
n a/tnminf nf TTio n'mli^Miiignoaa fi-nrl pan ftnri
oes declare the sinner just The obedience
f Jesus met the preceptal Remands of God's
iw upon the sinner, and Jesus died to take
way the guilt of sin?the liability to be punshed
for sin. The blood of Jesus quenched
he fires of Mount Sinai. When he cried upon
he <cross "It is finished," the last installment
rtiich, as a substitute, he owed to the law and
ustice of God was .paid.
But it is evident that we must accept of Jeus
as our surety before we can be justified by
lis righteousness. This accepting of Jesus
3 variously styled in the Scriptures. The
aost common, however, and the most simple
ppellation by which it is known, is believing
a Christ. Blessed, thrice blessed, is the man
irho believes in Christ. He cannot be conlemned.
Desperate beyon<J conception is the
ondition of the unbeliever. So long as he is
n unbeliever he can not be saved.
Kising in the World.?You should bear
onstantly in mind that nine-tenths of us are,
rom the very nature and necessities of the
?orld, born to earn our livelihood by the sweat
f the brow. What reason have we then to
resume that our children are not to do the
ame? If they be, as now and then one will
ie, endowed with extraordinary powers of
aind, those powers may h#ve an opportunity
f developing themselves; and, if they never
lave that opportunity, the harm is not very
reat to us or to thpm. Nor does it hence folow
that the descendente of laborers are always
to be laborers. The path upward is steep
.nd long to be sure. Indifttry, care, skill, exellence
in the present parent lay the foundaion
of a rise under more favorable circuratances
for the children. The children of these
ake another rise; and by-and-bye the descendants
of the present laborer become gentlemen,
[his is the natural progress. It is by attemptng
to reach the top at a single leap that so
nuch misery is produced in the world; and
he propensity to make such attempt has been
herished and encouraged by the strange proects
that we have witnessed of late years for

giving them what is called education. The
ducation I speak of consists in bringing up
children to labor with steadiness, with care,
ind with skill; to show them how to do as
amy useful things as possible, to teach them
!kw to do them all in the best manner; to set
them an example of industry, sobriety, cleanliness,
and neatness; to make all these habitual
to them, so that they shall never be liable to
fa'.l into the contrary; to let them always see a
*ood living proceeding from labor, and thus
X) remove from them the 'temptation to get at
Jit goods of others by violent or fraudulent
Beans, and to keep far from their minds all
;h< inducements to hypocrisy and deceit.?
William Cobbett.
Secret of True Happiness.?Gradually,
Jiinking on from point to point, we shall
some to perceive that all true happiness and
lojleness are near us, and yet neglected by
is and that till we have learned how to be
iappy and noble we have not much to tell,
ivtn to red Indians. The delights of horserating
and hunting, of assemblies in the night
JlSSKi of the day, of costly and wearisome
music, of costly and burdensome dress, of cha;iined
contention for place or power, or
lie eyes of the multitude; and all the
mdless occupation without purpose, and
ileness without rest, of our vulgar world, are
lot, it seems to me, enjoyments we need be ainlitious
to communicate. And all real and
vholesome enjoyments possible to man, have
ieen just as possible to him, since he was first
nade of the earth, as they are now; and they
ire possible to him chiefly in peace. To watch
he corn grow, and the blossoms set; to draw
lard breath over ploughshare or spade; to
ead, to think, to love,* to hope, to pray?these
ire the things that make men happy; they
ilways have had the power of doing
hese, they never will have the power to do
nore. The world's prosperity depends upon
>ur knowing and teaching these few things;
mt upon iron, or glass, or electricity, or steam,
n no wise. And I am Utopian and enthusiistic
enough to believe that tne time will come
?hen the world will believe this. It has now
nade its experiments in every direction but
he right one, and it seems that it must at
ast try the right one in a mathematical ne essjiy.?Rmkin.
A Child's Reply.?A little boy on ask
ng his father to allow him to he baptized,
pas told that he was too young, that he might
all back when he was only a little boy. To
his he made the touching reply: "Jesus has
>romiBed to carry the lambs in His arms; as
. am only a little boy, it will be easier for
Tesus to carry me!"
Value no man for his opinion, but esteem
lim according as his life corresponds with the
ules of piety and justice. A man's actions,
lot his conceptions, render him valuable.
tUF Talkative persons seldom read. This is

trangd the more we reflect upon them. For
