gatmatous fepartmtnt. RIGHT OF PASSAGE. Once upon a time there came to New Orleans a young Kentuckian, for the purpose of learning the science of medicine and surgery. He was tall and athletic, shrewd, apt, and intelligent, with a little sprinkle of waggishness. He was introduced into the Charity Hospital, and had a room in the third story as a student. On entering into his new quarters he was introduced! to a yo\pig French gentleman, occupying the front ro^m also as a student. The young Frenchman, it seems, was very frank in his manners-jcourteous, yet cold? and he thus addressed^us new companion: "Sir, I am indeed pleased to see you, and hope that we may prove mutually agreeable; but in order that this may be the case, I will inform you that I have had several former room-mates, with none of whom could I ever agree; we could never pursue our studies together. This room contains two beds; as the oldest occupant, I claim the bed nearest the window." The Kentuckian consented. "Now," said the Frenchman, "I'll draw the 'boundary line' between our territories, and we' shall each agree nbt to encroach upon the other's rights," and taking a piece of chalk from his pocket, he made the mark of divisIrwt* miduroir frnm nilP ciHp of the FOOIU tO tll6 other. "Sir," he added, "I hope you have 110 objections to the treaty." ' "None in the world, sir," answered the stranger; "I am perfectly satisfied with it." He then seni down for his baggage, and both students sat down with their book#. The Frenchman was soon deeply engaged; v while "Old Kentuck" was washing himself and thinking what a singular genius he must be, and how he might "fix him.' '.J"#* w eut on until dinner time came. The bell was rung?the Frenchman popped up, adjusted his cravat, brushed his wniskers and moustache, and essayed to depart. "Stand, sir!" said the stranger, suddenly, placing himself with his toe to the mark directly before the French student, "if you cross tRat line, by George, you're a dead man!" vThe Frenchman stood pale with astonishment. The Kentuckian moved not a muscle of his face. Both remained iu silence for some moments, when the Frenchman exclaimed? "Is it possible I did not reserve the right of1 passage V . j "No, sir, indeed you did not; and you pass that line at your peril." "But how shall I get out of the room ?" "There is a window which you reserved to yourself?you may use that; but you pass uot that?my door, which you generously left me." The poor Frenchman was fairly caught. He was in a quandary, and made all sorts of explanations and entreaties. The Kentuckian took compassion on him, and thinking that going out of a third story window was not "what it's cracked up to be," said to his new friend: "Sir, in order that we may be j mutually agreeable, I'll rub out that hateful chalk line and let you pass." The Frenchman politely thanked him, and j after the settlement-^of the "boundary question," they were the best of friends. ' ** 1 ? ? Tti ' A Druggist-that (5ould any Prescription.?Macready^s handw^fcug was curiously illegible, and especially when writing orders of admission to tne theatre. One day at New Orleans, Mr. Broughmaa obtained one of these from him for a jriend. On handing it to the gentleman, the letter observed that, if he had not known what it purported to be, he would never have suspected what it was. "It looks more like a prescription than anything else," he added. "So it does," said Mr. Broughman ; "let us go and have it made up." Turning into the nearest drug store, the paper was given to the clerk, who gave it a careless glance, and then proceeded to get a phial ready and to pull out divers boxes. With another look at the order, down came a tincture bottle, and the phial was half filled. Then there was a pause. The gentlemanly attendant was evidently puzzled. At last he . broke down completely, and rang for his principal, an elderly and severe-looking individual, who presently emerged from the inner sanctum. Tho two whispered together an instant, when the old dispenser looked at the document, and with an expression of pity for the ignorance of his subordinate, boldly filled the phial with some apocryphal fluid, and coolly corked and labelled it. Then handing it to the gentlemen who were waiting, he said, with a bland smile, "A cough imxture, and a very good one. Fifty cents, if you please." A Ball in the Far West.?The local editor of a very far West journal, having attended ? hall on the frontier, has felt moved after the" manner of Jenkins, of the metropolitan press, to furnish a report of some of the dresses worn by some of the eminent ladies present: Miss A. was everlastingly scrumptious in an underskirt of red calico, flounced with blue muslin, surmounted with an overskirt of linsey hooped in the rear en saddledag with yellow bows. Waist o la anarugeon busome de busier. Hair in a chignon resembling a cabbage head. Extraordinary hefly. Mrs. B. wore a skirt of home-made flannel displaying in a very beautiful manner her No. 11 moccasins. Corsage de sanpanosh, ornamented with soldier buttons. Hair fricassee, perfume of cinnamon drops. Exclusively hifalutin. Madame C., a noted half-breed belle, attracted an all fired sight of comment by appearing in a hoop skirt ornamented with fox tails ? en circumbendibus. Waist of yellow flannel, slashed with strips of buffalo hide. She carried a big sun flower, and danced with great luceness. Terrifically magnificent. A Marriage-Maker.?When Aytoun was making proposals for his first wife?a daughter of the celebrated Professor Wilson?she informed him that it would be.necessary to ask the approval of her sire. "Certainly," said Aytoun ; "but I am a little diffident in speaking to him on this subject ; you must just go and tell him ray proposal yourself." The lady proceeded to the library,, and tal-inor her father affectionately by the hand, mentioned that Professor Aytoun had asked her to become his wife. She added: Shall I accept his offer, papa? He says he is too diffident to name the subject to you himself." "Then," said old Christopher, "I had better write my reply and pin it to your back." .He did so, and the lady returned to the drawing-room. The anxious suitor read the answer to his message, which was in these words: "With the author's compliments." Mad all Over.?When the M. E. Conference assembled in Hillsborough some years since, on the last day of the session, a lad, whose dad entertained some half-a-dozen preachers, entered the room where the ministers were seated in a terrible state of excitement. "Whet is the matter, Isaac ?" asked one; "you seem excited." "Excited! I ain't excited; I'm mad all over." "What are you mad about, Isaac? Don't you know it is wrong to suffer yourself to become angered ?" "Wrong or no wrong, it is enough to make anybody mad but a preacher. Here's every chicken on the place eat up, except the old rooster, and just now he happened to see you fellows, and sung out, 'And must this body die ?' and keeled over stone dead." Both Good Men.?They tell this story at the expense of a Virginia lawyer: Once upon a time, when he had gained a case, his opponent told him he would appeal it, and he reJlied: "Very well, I'll meet you at Malichi." lot a brother lawyer whispered to him. "Philippi, Philippi;" when he said: "Very well," adding, ' Malichi or Philippi?they were .both good men." JUpifnltel ? jrartmeat. STEAM PLOWS IN LOUISIANA. "VVe learn by a New Orleans paper, that Mr. Effingham Lawrence, the owner of Magnolia Sugar Plantation, has written a letter iq answer to inquiries with regard to hi^experience in using the Fowler Steam Plotfgh, stating that he has had one set of fourteen horse power, m use for two years past? "ploughing when breaking up with the mould hoard plough, to a depth from fifteen to twenty inches, and when using the subsoiler, cultivating between the Cane rows, running to a depth of from twenty to twenty-four inches." The first forty acres broken up by steam in the spring of 1868, planted in corn and peas, and m sugar cane tne fall of the same year, Kve a yield of over 100,000 lbs. of dry sugar, ing over 2,500 lbs. or 21 hogsheads per acre. "On fhp nth ft r steam Dloutrhed lands Dlanted the following year," the yield was nearly as satisfactory, notwithstanding a very unpropftious season, while other fields, "where the stand' of cane was equally as good as that on the steam ploughed land, but cultivated with the old-fashioned horse and mule power, and received much more labor and attention than the crops on the steam ploughed lands, did not produce more than 1200 to 1500 lbs. to the acre." Mr. L. thinks he is justifiecfflwthe conclusion that steam-ploughing saves half the labor and produces a return 50 per cent, better than any other system of cultivation, and that its introduction on the rich lauds of the Mississippi Valley, and the vast prairies of the West and Texas, will afford the best solution of the puzzling labor question, and greatly increase the crops produced.? Country Gentleman. Water-Melon Culture. ? As planting ' time will soon be upon us again, I would like to give the readers of your excellent paper the benefit of ray experience in raising watermelons. T tried to raise them for several j years, but failed in every attempt until tne last two years. I plant the seed in an old tin pan or box about the first of May, and keep them in a warm place on the southeast side of the house, and when they are nicely up, I transplant them where I have designed they should grow. Before I put them out I re| move the soil 12 or 18 inches deep and two j feet wide, and then fill in the hole thus made j with thoroughly pulverized manure and the | soil, mixed in equal parts; the hills should be 5 or 6 feet apart each way. I put im3 plants to a hill. If it is dry I cover them up for a day or two. I have had.no trouble in making them live; they bear transplanting as well as cabbage. I have raised as nice melons in this way as I could wish for. Last spring I thought if I prepared the ground as above stated, and planted the seeds in the hills, I would get a good crop. I planted them in the hill; they came up well, out did not seem to grow, and in a short time I had not a single plant left. I had some plants in a pan, and set them out in the same hill (only six hills), and had 26 large melons. I hope others will try this way of raising melons and report through your paper. ? W. A. in Country Gentleman. A Cheap Home-Made Fertilizer.? We have been requested to republish the following instructions for making a superior fertilizer, by a farmer who ^as tested it side by side with Peruvian Guano,and pronounces its effects equal to those produced by that, highpriced manure. If that is the case, and we have no doubt of it, for our informant is a reliable gentleman, and would not deceive any one, the information, if acted upon, will save to this District alone, thousands of dollars. We hope some one will try it: Take 7 barrels of dry muck, 1 barrel of wood ashes, 1 barrel of ground bone and 1 barrel of raw Plaster of Paris, mix these together ; then take 50 lbs. each of common salt, glauber salts, nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia, dissolve well in about a barrel of water and add; to the first mixture. Mix all well together through a screeh and keep dry tica TivA.tliirrlii of the above iucrredidhts 1V" - ,p can be obtained on every farm, and the chemicals can be had of any wholesale druggist, while the whole that will have to be purchased would not cost over $20. The above quantities will make about one' ton, and can be made at one-quarter the price charged for a ton of Peruvian Guano.? Union Times. ? . Mulching.?-All men have some hobby; I have several. One is mulching. Years ago, spreading the refuse of a straw stack, partly rotted, upon a meadow, and reaping therefrom an unlooked-for benefit, led to a repetition, and always and ever with good results. Last winter I spread rye straw upon six acres of rye; result, an increased quantity upon that so mulched, over fourteen not so dealt by. This winter I shall cover thirty acres. The spring of 1867,1 seeded seventy-five acres to timothy and clover. Twelve acres were very? poor; upon that I drew, directly after the harvest of this year, straw, and covered the same ; to-day it is the best aftermath I have. It would have cat in September double what it did the 20th of June, and promises a large return the comihg year. Hundreds of straw stacks are slowly decaying?"wasting their sweetness on the desert air"?that should blanket all meadows, pastures and winter grain, as far as they could be spread. The spreading should be thin and even ; the master's eye should be "there to see." This method has been tried by me in New York, upon the rich meadows of Herkimer county, and here in. Wisconsin, upon soil quite different in composition?like results in both places. Farmers, try it and report. S. B. L., in Country Gentleman. A New Discovery With Corn.?An intelligent and reliable neighbor of ours, who has for many years been making experiments with corn, has discovered an importance and value in replanted corn which is quite novel, and worthy of publication. We have always thought that replanted corn was of little consequence, but this gentleman says "it is of so much consequence he replants whether it is needed or not?or rather, he plants two or three weeks after the crop is planted, a hill x ??? rrvnf oook WAV "FTA uuuui evwj uiiccuiu lun vuvu ,,. says: "if the weather becomes dry during the filling time, the silk and tassel both become dry and dead. In this condition, if it should become seasonable, the silk revives and renews its growth, but the tassel does not recover. Then, for want of pollen the new silk is unable to fill the office for which it was designed. The pollen from the replanted corn is then ready to supply the silk, and the filling is completed." He says nearly all the abortive ears, so common in corn crops, is caused by want of pollen, and that he has known ears double their size in this second filling. Exchange. Bots in Tar Can't Bite.?When a horse shows symptoms of bots, drench him with one pint of tar; heated as hot as possible, not to burn; it.will enclose the bots instantly, and stop the biting in about half an hour after administering lie tar. Give some purgative ; I prefer castor oil, given warm; this will bring off the bots and tar mixed in one mass. Bots and colic in horses, in many instances, cannot be distinguished, and if within twenty or thirty minutes after giving the tar, you find the animal is not relieved, give two ounces of laudanum and two ounces of sweet spirits nitre, mixed; these remedies may be relied on, the writer having never, in a single instance, failed to relieve and fully cure. Canada Thistles.?Dr. Warden, of Cincinnati, in a public lecture, said that there was a way of surely and quickly destroying this plant, and without great labor. Gentlemen who are hesitating about attacking these pests because the more they are rooted out the better they will grow, should try this mode. It | is to pile straw thickly on the surface where they are found, and let it remain there. They ! will die for want of light and air. fPrfauMttie JWicles.

His countc nance beca&e horribly distorted, and shortl; t^fter he received another thrust in the otlie side.

It seemed as if I re ceived the thrust myself. He was left hang ing there the whole day, as a warning exair pie to everybody. The Japanese look uj>0] all this with the greatest indifference. How Marbles are Made.?lue chie f>lace *bf the manufacture of "niarbles," thos ittle pieces of stone which contribute so larg< ly to the enjoyment of "Young America," i at Oberstein on tbeNahe,in Germany, wher there are large agate mills and quarries, th refuse of which is carefully turned to goo paying account by being made into the smal balls employed by experts to knuckle witl which are mostly sent to the American mai ket The substance feed in Saxony is hard calcarous stone, which is first broke into blocks, nearly square, by blows with hammer. Thqse are thrown by the one hur dred or two hundred into a small sort of mil which is formed of a flat, stationary slab c stone, with a number of concentric furrow upon its face. A block of oak, or of som other hard wood, of the same diametric siz< is placed over the stones and partly restjn upon them.t The small block of wood is kef revolving while water flows upon the ston slab. In about fifteen minutes the stones ar turned to spheres, and then, being fit for sal< are henceforth called "marbles." One estal lishment, containing only three of these milli will turn out fiflly sixty thousand "marbles in each week. Agates are made into "marbles at Oberstein by first chipping the pieces nea ly round with a hammer, handled by a skil ful workman, and then wearing down th edges upon the surface of a large grindstom Slate Pencils.?Twenty years ago, & the slate pencils used were manufactured i Germany. She then supplied America* wit this commodity.^ In I860, there was a yonn man living in West Rutland, Vt, eightee years of age, who fortunately discovered supply of stone for making a first-clrss^iriicl of slate pencils. He began by whift^g'tyi the pencils and selling them to sch^I cniic ren. Being a better article Ihan that for sal in thew>res, he found a ready Sale foij all h could whittle out. He became' pob&ssed c the idea that there was a fortune m theJbus ness, and his dream has been realized. Thi quarry of slate pencil stone was situated in large ravine, four miles from Castleton, Vt near Bemoseen Lake. The land on which i was situated was for sale at 8100. He pui chased it, and began operations bysawing ou the pencils and whittling them r&rad. Th busiuess of making them grew immensely o his hands, so that it was impossible to keep clean order book. Machinery was invente to facilitate th<j process, whidh has reache something like perfection, and Enormously ii creases the production of pencils. At presen the quarry and mills are owned by a joit stoca company. They are valued at 8300 000. From fifty to one hundred thousan pencils are turneu out daily, and upward of hundred hands are employed in the quarr and in the mill. ? ?

ROBERT LATHAN. ? * [Ori|Uai.] 1 THE DISPENSATIONS OF PROVIDENCE. No book is so tull of mysteries and sodif! ficult to understand as the book of ftwvidjence. r This is especially the case in regard to the i dealings of God, as a God of Providence^with I His own people. The temporal contfmon of B the truly pious tnan has many things about s it that are inexplicable to finite beings. IjVora > the plain teachings of inspiration, we iAuld 3 expect to see the righteous man fiouwih in r every point of view, and th? wicked nflHee set with difficulties on everj^ide. < No* torn 1 doctrine is more consonant to the aspi^tiortf* e ar)d desires of the human Mfttrt an<k reasonings of the human mind, than thej^Jainlj | taught principle that God will bl^ts-^HB|k r man m ms sout una in ms Doay~kWgP*' ? ket and in his 'store?for time anc^HUny. 3 But the habitual dealings of God vSLi His people, are not so regarded . hfl^Htadjy* * men, and s^etiraes good men ofli^Kmls unadvisedly and say, "verily have I kept my e heart in vaiu." God's people evidently have s- many severe trials and difficulties to' pass through, which are peculiar. The men ofjber world are strangers to the severe buffetiiigN>f 11 Satan, which falls to the lot of the truljntoious. The wicked frequently have more oflPre if good things of this world t]mn^eirM^M| e desire; and, to the mattentiveoBserve^^pP J- to enjoy God's blessing with them, whilst theT 3 most devoutly pious are often reduced to-grdfel e straits, in respect to the common necessities^ | life. It is a notorious fact that nearly alftbe U truly pious pre absolutely poor with respect i( to the things of this world; whilst many flf r- the most wicked and abandoned of the hua man family are surrounded by all the goofl 11 things of this world. Such, a state of things a often, no doubt, causes the feet of good m<m j to "nearly slip," and strengthens the athekp jf ical notions of the uuregenerate. Jt oi&t rg not to produce these effects, hut it sureljHjies e do it. We manifest more ignorance inToar 5> interpretations of providence than in tdrfrst ? everything else, unless it be cbmplianqjpth ^ the offers of the Saviour. Our difficult, in e understanding why God's people are gener>t ally poor, and the wicked are sometimes rich, )- arises from the fact that we are prbne never to look beyond the present moment. The mt? ter end of thjrarfect man is always peace, j. and the care^ro the wicked is short; and, al|. though apparently prosperous, ends in disapie pointment. J. Another reason why we misapprehend the providence of God, is our mistaken notions as , to what is good and what is evil. If gold diK ? silver, houses and lands would satisfy tpe g cravings of the immortal soul, then poverty n would be a veritable curse, and wealth a real a blessipg. If the guilt of sin, which maizes e man miserable in earnest, could be removad jt by earthly possessions, and the bouI renev^l f* by the luxuries of earth, then the child of God e might consistently complain that God deals hardly with His people, whilst He blesses the i- ungodly and impenitent sinner. But the iris mortal soul &ay be, and often is, in a starva ing condition, at the very moment that the ? body is reaping all the advantages of wealth, r and ease, and luxury. Not only so, but, oflt ten, at the very instant that the body is clad e in purple and fine linen, the soul is exposed n to the goadings of conscience, and the frowns of a righteous God. 'Poverty is no evidfe&tfc-" j* of the disapprobation of Heaven, nor is iUtf* er the cauSb of remorse, whilst remorse does t haunt tinseled potentates, it Happiness consists not in what we have, r nor in what we have not of this world, but in ^ what we are. The life of that man is always fl- . ? - ? , J. it. _ !_.! blessed wnose sour accoras wun me liuiurations of God's spirit. "His life is most blessed, whose heart is at rest." n Another source of difficulty in underetand e ing the dealings of God's providence, is the h severe afflictions through which the righteous 18 are called to pass, and from which the wick(? ed are exempt. Our difficulties, in this pary ticular, arise from our mistaken notions rey spectiug the purpose and design of God's pron vidence and grace, as well as mistaken ideas 7 with regard to the capabilities and destinies j1 of the human family. If man was destined ^ to end his existence at the grave, and the mise sion of Jesus contemplated nothing more than j. the procuring of temporal conjfort, and an d exemption A) in present bodily pain, then the n good man^Bight complain that thing^ are e so dispensed. But when we reflect that e man is immortal, destined to live forever in j bliss or writhe eternally in agony, and that the main object of Jesus in coming into our 1, world, was to manifest the love of God, and i. show forth to all the intelligent universe the glory of God in saving the soul from the h doom of endless banishment from God's Missis ful presence, the whole difficulty is removed ,e respecting the dealings of God's providence. The difficulty dwindles down to a question of appropriateness of the means used to efleet n the grand design. d Respecting this whole subject and all its difficulties, one thing is demonstrably true, by ^ the experience of the truly pious. It is this: j. The man who is anxious to learn his duty, and faithful in discharging that duty when jj. learned, is not much troubled with the mys;g terious dealings of God's providence; but the is indifferent and careless professor of religion k and backslider from a lively gracfofiS 'sffi!^ 1 13 into a worldly minded condition, is always inj volved in impenetrable darkness and doubt 1* UIVU Tf x MX XIX unavcn i d? I . There is nothing in the universe that is at P" perfect rest Every thing is in motion. Morlm ally, this is true as well as physically. "We j are either nearer heaven or perdition, than we were at any previous period of our exisi tence. Such is the nature of the circumstances s. with which we are surrounded,-that we are y- forced to *be in motion. We must grow in '? grace or increase in sin and iniquity. One of the evidences of the truly regenerated man, is _ that he ceases to practice sin as well as to hate l8 sin. In fact, the only way that it can be made 3e manifest that we hate sin is by departing from e, its practice. No man, who habitually ini dulges in the commission of known sins, can ^ j have satisfying evidence that he is a child of i God. But although it is true that the evidence, ^ ^and the only reliable evidence of piety, is ceas1 ing to sin and practising deeds of righteous>t ness, still it is evident both from the teachings ? of inspiration and from universal observation, |e that few individuls are made holy at once. ^ Most individuals have to pass through a long J [g course of purification. The young convert is I w often very zealous, but his zeal is frequently i ;r without knowlege. He is but a babe in Christ1 7 Jesus, and often acts very childish. His faith j 0 j is very weak. This can be accounted for upon ' ^ i natural principles. Faith is always weak or e ' strong in proportion to our knowlege. Igno(j j ranee and faith are incompatible. Where j there is no knowlege there can be no faith.; v I Those who hare never heard of Jesus cannot i have faith in him, whilst those who know most j of him as he is revealed in the Scriptures and j by the Holy Spirit, have the strongest faith. Every young convert is exceedingly ignorant This .is true whatever mpy be his opinions to the contrary. God has made special provisions for this very state of things. He has instituted means which are suited to develop the work of grace in our hearts. Faith is evifjeptly an operatioh of the affections. The tenacfk^pf the heart twine round Jesus in faith. COr rather the twining of the affections of the- heart around Jesus is faith. - But the emotional part of our nature is payer moved only through the intellectual, yj^ppah neither love nor hate, desire nor bSreve, until we have learned, through our intellect, the na?We of an individual or object Whenever the intellect is dormant, the affections are necemarilff in jbtfpor. There is no way by which tions or will can be reached | oolv through the intellect This is God's ar # w . . 1 rangement and it cannot be altered. By nature men are as ignorant as they are sinful, v The image of God in which man was originally created, consisted in no material resemblance, but simply in knowlege, righteousness and holiness. This image has been effaced. Not even the outlines remain. Only a moral wreck can be discovered to teHwhere the fair fabric once stood. Jesus restores thiB sin-destroyed image. He does- it, not by making us holy before he makes us wise and dghtoniiB; but fie first, in strict accqctence. j^th the laws of God as manifest in our nature, make us vpatfthen righteous, then holy, and finally happy in fcjfveh. God" reveals himself in His won! as the Saviour of sinners through Jesus Christ; but He reveals Jesus in the sinper by the Holy Spirit first. The Bible teaches the plan of salyation so clearly, that "way-faringjpen though fools need not err;" but no man ever saw Jesus as he is, the chiefest among ten thousand, until his mind was enlightened by God's Holy Spirit No man ever savingly believed in Christ until he was revealed by his word and Spirit, and no man nan hecnme hnlv hefnrfe he believes. Now the experiJfece'of God's people teaches that this process is repeating continually in their lives. The Bible is a new book every time they read it New facts, new promises, new comforts and oonsolations are discovered at every reading. The person of Christ, and the offices of Christ are more clearly revealed at every perusal; and there is a moral 'grandeur and a divine loveliness seen in Jesus that never was discovered before. The more the people of God learn of Jesus the more they love him, and the more they cling to him. Jesus is precious to all believers, but to the dust covered veteran of the cross he is a munition of rocks. God has provided ample means, of the most appropriate character, for the growth of grace in his people. The Bible not only reveals the awful fact that we are sinners, but it reveals the plan God devised to make us holy and happy. It is as admirably adapted to teach the convert what is duty, as it is to produce convictions of sin in the heart of the impenitent sinner. The Bible is a wonderful book. It enlightens the mind and purifies the heart. The language and the doctrines of the Bible are peculiarly fitted to develop the spiritual life which is planted in the soul by the Spirit of God. The language is simple, and the style invariably entertaining; the doctrines and precepts are plain common sense principles. Such is the characteristic of the ?H)le that the feeblest intelTect can understand some of it, and the most j){ofouudJogician and'metapHysician finds food sufficiently strong for the most avaricious intellectual cravings. Bible is a grand, inexhausti-1 ble granary, in which there is all kinds of spiritual food, adapted to all kinds and characters of lost, and also regenerated members of Adam's race. Provisions are laid up within its massive walls for the spiritual babe; for the young man, full of religious hopes, and fears; and for the old grey-headed saint. The kingdom of grace is a grand and glorious household?a lovely family in which there are babes but new-born; children merging into manhood*, and men who have arrived nearly at the stature of perfect men in Christ Jesus. < I?* A child may be presented with a casket of jewels, and the value of the gift will not depend upon his scientific knowledge of the costly gems it includes. So, faith in Jesus Christ, God's unspeakable gift, secures for us a blessing which is quite independent of our adequate understanding of his nature and the method of his atonement. In him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and the saving faith that lays hold on him possesses also all these unsearchable riches of his righteousness and grace. True, as the child comes to understand the quality of his present, he will more adequately prize it and more highly estimate the love which prompted it. We are urged by every conceivable motive to acquaint ourselves with the facts of Christ's life and character, and with the entire story of God's redeeming love; and growth in such knowledge will increase our gratitude, obedience, and praise. But we cannot. too often recall the blessed truth that it is simple faith, not knowledge, which makes the priceless inheritance our own,?the faith which is indeed a part of God's gracious gift, and which comes as freely to the Tittle child as to the wisest of men. Coming to Jesus.?"Come unto Me," says the blessed Jesus, "all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." And herein He exactly fulfills the appointment of His Father, and acts in the most perfect con#(teiity to the commission He received from Hip; of which we have a fair copy in Isaiah lxi: 1,?The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings to the meek; He nath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." From this passage it plainly appears that humbled, convinced souls are His peculiar charge; He is the physician, not of the whole, but of the sick; not of those that justify themselves, but of those who are perishing in their own apprehension, who reel their need of Him, and know something of the worth of that salvation. .which He brings.? Walker. f^Lady Huntingdon mentions a Christian minister who had often expressed a desire to j understand the meaning of the words, ! "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth," but remained a long time unsatisfied. One morning he was surprised, on approaching a very poor cottage, to hear' the voice of praise. Drawing nearer, and looking in at the window, he saw a woman in the most wretched poverty. On a little stool before her she had a piece of black bread and $ cup of cold water. With hands and eyes lifted to ! heaven, as if in a rapture of praise, she utter-1 ed these words: "What! all this and Jesus j too! What! all this and Jesus Christ too 1" j He went home with a vivid apprehension of! the meaning of our Master's language. V&* Our prayers and God's mercy are like J two buckets in a well?while the one ascends the other descends. ' God is the safety of his people, but we tempt Providence if we do not make use of! the necessary means for our preservation. 9&F What horn produces the most discordant music? * The- drinking horn. , ?lte fotkritte (hnfrim.
