An enterprising JAioess man of Hartford, Connecticut, rudHMbranches of trade, to wit: a grocery ancHBPmarket by a dep , and every night the latter makes returns the proceeds 01 the day's business to the proprietor. A few days since the grocer found in his fish market returns a counterfeit fivedollar bill. He didn't like to lose it, and didn't quite want to take the chances cf trying to pass it So he called an old d?key who was hanging about the premises, and saia to him: "Sam, here's a five-dollar bill that's a little doubtful If you'll take it and pass it, I'll give you a dollar of the change." "Very well," said Sam, and he took the bill and went off. Later in the day, he returned, having accomplished the feat, and handed over four dollars in good money to the grocer. That night the grocer, in counting the cash returns from his fish market, was more surprised than delighted to find the identical five m the pile. "Look here," said he sharply to his fish market clerk, "here's a counterfeit bill?who'd ye take it of? Didn't you know 'twas bad ?" The clerk took it and looked at it a moment. "Oh! yes," said he, "I remember now; I took it of Sam, the darkey. I thought it was a little doubtfili, and wasn't going to take it, but he said he got of you, so I thought it was all right" What Did the Man Say ??Those whe are in the habit of attending police and othei courts, must have observed the difficulty under which the lawyers and judges labor sometimes, in getting witnesses to testify in legd form. The following which took place at a Cincinnati court last week, is an amusing and perfect example. A man had been caught in the act of theft, and pleaded in extenuatior that he was drunk : Court (to the policeman who was witness)? "What did the man say when you arrestee him?" Witness?"He said he was drunk." Court?"I want his precise words, just ai he uttered tnera ; ne aian t use tne prouuut he, did he ? He didn't say, *he was drunk.'' Witness?"Oh, yes, he did?he said he wa* drunk ; he acknowleged the corn." Court (getting impatient at the witness stupidity)?-"You don't understand rae at all; I want the words just as he uttered them didn't he say, "I was drunk ?" Witness (deprecatingly)?"Oh, no, youi honor. He didn't say you was drunk; J wouldn't allow any man to charge that upor you in my presence." ? 19" A far western marriage ceremony, thir ty years before the Pacific Railroad had annihilated the "Far West," has been thus de scribed to us: Scene?Potato field.?The magistrate it his shirt-sleeves, busily plying the hoe.

"Be you the 'Squire ?" the youth asks. * "Yes," and the hoe rises and falls fastei than ever. "We want to be mairied!" the youth desperately exclaims. "Well, shet up, dern you, till I get- to the end of this row. I'm counting the hills." Thus admonished, the twain follow hinn anxiously along, hand in hand, until the end of the row is reached. "Twenty-seven, twenty-eight. Now, dern you, stand up here!" and the 'Squire leans, for the moment, upon his hoe-handle. "Do you (to the youth) solemnly swear, by thunder, to take this woman for yoilr wife ? "Yes." "Do you (to the girl) solemenly swear, by thunder, to take this man for vour husband ?1 -"Yes."

A Good Yarn.?Once upon a time, there lived among the hills of an adjoining County, an old gentleman, whose entire personal and real estate consisted of a wife, a well ventilated log cabin, half an acre of not very productive land, and a violent fondness for what js sometimes called "tangle-leg-whiskey." One spring morning the owner of all this property was struck with the conviction that his land most be plowed. But he had no horse, and found it impossible to borrow one. Nevertheless, the ground must "be broke up," horse or no horse, and it was finally determined that the "old woman" should hitch up the old man, and hold the handles and drive, while he drew the plow. This was accordingly done, and the plow went bravely on, until tne plowshare ran' under a root, and the team was brought to a dead halt, but the "critter" had become warmed up by this time, and as the old lady gave him a rap with the reins, and cried "git up there!" he threw his weight upon the harness with a heavy jerk, which snapped the traces short off, and he shot forward against the fence, his head striking the end of a rail with the force of a maul. "Thunder, old woman.!" he exclaimed, as he wiped the blood and dirt from his eyes, "why in the devil didn't you say to-h-o-a t" Pa&*A. life-insurance agent in Toledo had occasion to insure a man residing in Cleavelacd. The printed directions to be answered by the examining physician were duly forwarded, and Mr. A., who was desiring to* have his life insured for the benefit of his wife, called upon a German physician to make the customary examination. Everything went well until it came to "temperament," and here the doctor stuck. He said nothing, however, but in filling up the blank, instead of giving the temperament of the man, he wrote at the bottom of the sheet as follows: "Mrs. A., very bad temper: Mr. A. much worse."

He then awoke him, and the fool raising his hand to scratch his head, exclaimed : "Here's a pretty mistake; you have awakened the old bald-headed man instead of me." ? 16?* "I say, milkman,- you give your cows too much salt!"

One of the most valuable absorbents and deodorizers is fine, dry earth, It enables us to utilize, in an agreeable manner, the most valuable manure produced upon the farm, viz: the human excrements. And what is of still greater consequence,, by its use we are enabled to entirely obviate one of the most prolific sources of disease in warm weather, tlie foul odors arising from privies, etc. A good deal has oeen said or written of late about "Earth Closets," and a patent article is offered for sale. The principle of these closets is the use of fine, dry earth, clay or loam, not sand, as an absorbent. They are perfectly successful, and the prirciple is simple and within the reach of every farmer without paying for any patent, A privy constructed for dry earth is cheaper than one with a vault, while the vault is a prolific source of disease, and ought to be abolished. 1 A correspondent of the Country Gentleman gives the following account of his method of applying the dry earth system in his own do mestic esiaonsnniem; "The house is built in the usual manner. Under the seats I have a drawer made of two inch stuff, put together with brown paper and white lead, made so that it can be drawn out i at one end of the house. I cover the bottom i of the drawer with about three inches of dry 1 earth and then sprinkle, a shovelful of plaster over. The drawer is cleaned out once a week and the contents go to increase my manure 1 pile. So far, I have not found any smell com' mg from the arrangement, although we have had a pretty hot summer, and the privy is within fifteen feet of my house. The drawer L runs on two slides, and when in place is covt ered on the ends, by doors. . t This is my earth closet An improvement i would be to have a box in each compartment i full of drv earth, and a scopp, so that more earth could be thrown on from time to time. As yet, I have not fonnd this at all necessary." I Another writer in the same paper says: "The practice of using dried earth disinfectants for the privy, will, with a common fam* ily, produce a quantity of fertilizer that would i astonish any one who had never resorted to this source. Then there is the hen-house or ' roost of the fowls; who among us economize this resource as we might and should ? There should be a dry house where the fowls can ; roost, and under their roosting poles should ?' bespread three or four inches of dry muck, or other absorbent, and this should be turned nvAr and mixed, after receiving the droppings a few days, and be sprinkled with a alight i sprinkling from the chamber pail, and additions of absorbents made once or twice, or more, during the season. A bed of dry muck or dried earth under cover, to pour the slops of the house over, and be occasionally turned over and added to, will be converted into the best kind of poudrette i by fall. In this bed may be deposited all the ' old bone, after being broken in small pieces, ' and by their heating, etc., they may be more i economically reduced than in any other way, adding much to the value of the mass." The manure made from human excrements is undoubtedly the best that there is. It never fails, being good for all soils and all crops. A manurial agent of such importance should not be neglected as it generally has been, es5 pecially now, when a simple, effective, and agreeable mode of utilizing is known, i From a consideration of the subject of ma1 nures, aqfpresented in this and several preceding papers, we may derive the following cont elusions: * 1st. Farmers should keep a large proportion of their lands in pasture, for the purpose ' of allowing the land more rest and more rotation, as well as for the purpose of making more manure by the greater number of ani' mals they would thus be enabled to keen. 2d. All lands under cultivation should be kept in that condition best adapted to the i appropriation of atmospheric fertilizers. 3d. Everything upon the. farm not otherwise valuable, and capable of being made into s manure, should be appropriated for that ob, ject. More especially should all refuse matters about the farm buildings be promptly converted into manure, for profit and for health. . i 4th. Every barn-yard should be so coni structed as to allow of no drainage of manures from it, and#iould be plentifully supplied with absorbents, such- as muck, sods, straw, corn-stalks, pond mud, road scrapings, ditch cleanings, weeds, refuse grasses, etc. 5th. Composting, under shelter, is an important process, which no former can afford to neglect. 6th. Let every farmer study the science of making, as all good farming depends upon it.?Journal of Agriculture. 1 # ? Farmers Should Take Enough Sleep. Said one of the oldest and most successful far-' mere in this State: "I do not care to have my men get up before five or half-past five in the morning, and if they go to bed early and can sleep soundly, they will do more work than tf they got up at four or half-past four. We do not believe in the eight-hour law, but nevertheless are inclined to think that, as a general rule, we work too many hours on the farm. The best man we ever had to dig ditches seldom worked, when digging by tne rod, more than nine hours a da\. And it is so in chopping wood by the cord: the men who accomplish the most, work in. the fewest hours. They bring all their brain and muscle into exercise, and make every blow tell. A slow, plodding Dutchman may turn a grind-stone or a fanning-mill better than an energetic Yankee; but this kind of work is done mostly bv horsepower, and the farmer needs, above all else, a clear head, with all his faculties of mind and muscle light and active, and under complete control. Much, of course, depends on temperament, but as a rule, such men need sound sleep and plenty of it When a boy on the farm* we are told that Napoleon needed only four hours' sleep, and the old nonsense of "five hours for a man, six lor a woman, and seven for a fool," was often quoted. But the truth 1 is that Napoleon was enabled, in a great . measure, to accomplish what he did from the . faculty of sleeping soundly?of sleeping when ' he slept, and working when he worked. We have sat in one Qf his favorite traveling carriages, and it was so arranged that he could lie down at full length, and when dashing through the country as fast as eight horses, frequently changed, could carry him, he slept I soundly, and when he arrived at nis destination was as fresh as if he had risen from a bed of down. Let the farmers, and especially far. mers' boys, have plenty to eat, nothing to i "drink," and all the sleep they can take. The Woolen Business?The annual value of the wool manufactures of the United States, and of those manufactures of which wool is a component part, is said not to be less than 6174,000,000. Of these goods more than four-fifths are made from American wools. The coarse carpet-wools, which are not grown here at all, the worsted combingwools, and the fine clothing wools, which are i only grown by us in limited quantities, go to . make up the rest. The annual consumption of woolen goods in the United States is estimated to equal $240,000,000. In 1868 more than $15,000,000 were spent by us for imported dress goods, while for imported cassimeres we paid out nearly $7,000,000. The value of the worsted manufactures of England probably exceeds $100,000. It was $90,000,000 in 1857, and has since largely increased, being, i in fact, the great woolen mauufacture of the Kligdom. > + + Colic in Man or Horse.?For a horse, give a tea-cupful of Hour (wheat flour) in a | a black bottle, filled with water, dissolve the flour by shaking the bottle, and drench the horse. It will generally cure in five to ten minutes. For a man, give a table spoonful of flour in a glass (tumbler) of cold water. My word for it, he will never take any other remedy. G. J. S.

There is a beauty and a grandeur in the plan of salvation which is worthy of the most profound study. It is reasonable in all its instrumentalities, and philisophical in all its aims. The Bible teaches that man is a reasonable and responsible being, and that he is at the same time not subject to the law of God, and that he cannot be, so long as he remains as he is. To be responsible, man must necessarily be free; and yet it is taught over and over again that he is the bond-slave of Satan, subject to his contnl?led by him at pleasure?and that in his present natural condition, he will not and cannot come to God, noi render an obedience to His law. In this there is no contradiction. In fact, such a state of things is required to make the intervention of a Saviour necessary. If man is not a res ponsible being, then he needs no Saviour; il he can, under any circumstance alone, anc unassisted, keep the law of God, he needs nc supernatural agent to bring; him to God Many individuals have difficulties in clearlj understanding how man can be responsible if it is absolutely true, as the Bible teaches that man in his present condition cannot b< subject to the law of God. This state o things seems to favor the contradictory notior that man's will is free and at the same tim< enslaved. This, unless we are greatly in er ror, is just what the Bible teaches, and is ii perfect consonance with the principles of sounc philosophy. When we speak of the freedon of the will, and the slavery of the will, w< ought to be sure that we understand what w< mean. The words liberty and slavery are ii every case but poorly understood ; but whei used in reference to the will, they evidently have very frequently no intelligent impor whatever. Liberty never means unrestraine( permission to live and act in direct contraven tion of law. No creature can do this. Lai and order are manifest in all God's works At their shrine every creature bows. In th< sense of being above law and uncontrolled bj it, there is no such thing as liberty in the uni verse. The animalcule that gambols in tb< dew-drop,, the broad green earth upon whosi bosom we lean, the twinkling star and thi bright orb of day,-are each and all, subject U law, fixed and irreversible. When, then, it i said that the will of man is free, we must no conclude that it is subject to no law. It ha laws by which it is governed, and the& law are the fiats of Jehovah. There are but tw< ways by which we can reach the will, an( there are two because man is a complex be ing, possessed both of natural and moral emo tions. The base of all intelligent action is thi understanding. A man in" complete physica shape and perfect in all his bodily organiza tion, but mentally a blank, can have no wil and cannot possibly put forth any volitions Such a man may perform many acts, but thej are mere *brute acts. The animal creatior have something that resembles will in its ope ration, but it is not will as possessed by a hu man being with a mind in a normal state There is a wide difference between the act of mere brutes and a man. The former ii not held accountable, and the latter always is The reason the brute is not accountable is be cause it does not know, and the reason man ii accountable, is that he does know. Such ii the constitution of the human mind that n( volitions can ever be put forth where there i.? no knowledge, nor can we will contrary tc knowledge. We cannot, by any effort, will thai white is black; that a round ball is square or that a proper act is wrong, or that a wron^ act is right. No sane man ever tries sue! a thing; in fact, we never try to will anj thing. Our volitions spring up and are nol under our control. So far from being able tx will any thing, we cannot, in strict propriety of speech, will any thing. Our volitions ar< put forth in accordance with certain laws, anc a: we cannot prevent tamo, nemici wu no u? rectly call them forth. But in the order of nature, the understand mg and the will do not lie in juxtaposition No man ever puts forth volitions simply be cause be has intellections. Our emotional nature is next, after,our intellect, aroused int( operation. The emotions remain dormant tin til the intellect is enlightened, but other thing.1 being equal, and the mind being in a norma condition, so soon as the intellect discerns, the emotions are awakened from their slumbers But will does not follow emotions in quick successions. The desires must be quickened So soon as this takes place, then the volitior follows and an act is the result unless it b< physically impossible. The history of all intelligent human actior proves that this is true. No man ever willed to go to California to dig gold, simply because ke knew there was gold there. The know! edge of the fact first awakened his emotions and then the desire to possess some of the gold followed, and then, and not until then, did he will to go to California to dig for gold. Mer of strong intellects and powerful emotional natures are generally men of iron wills, whilsl men of feeble intellects, cold sensibilities, and phlegmatic desires, are always possessed o; powerless wills. Man's moral nature is very similar in itf operation to what has just been stated. Tin first thing is understanding?then comes emo tions. But instead of desires, the next thinj that follows in the moral, is the feelings o: moral obligation ; then follows the volition and last the moral act. . Now if we will close ly and unprejudicedly examine this theory we will discover the lact tnat sucn is our con stitution, that in his fallen state, man cannol please God, and hence cannot be saved with out a Redeemer. The Bible teaches this very important truth, that "My people are destroy ed for lack of knowledge." Hos. 4: 6. "Th< ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib, but Israel doth not kilow" God noi his holy law. Right here lies the grand secret of the slavery of the will. It is free tc put forth volitions in perfect accordance with I the moral intellections. These, unfortunate' I ly, are morbid ; and the moral emotions and ) feelings of moral obligation are in strict accordance therewith, and the will is, by its own laws, whilst acting perfectly free, undei the fatal necessity of willing what is contrary to God's law. The fault lies not in the will, but in the understanding. Man, originally, resembled God ; not in will, but in knowledge, Sin destroyed this resemblance, and, therefore, we must naturally look for all man's volitions and acts to be sinful. The fountain is polluted, and the waters which issue from ii must be impure. Christ makes his people williug and obedient to his law, and commands, not by forcing them to act contrary to their desires, but by I first enlightening their intellects, and then by arousing their emotions; and then, iu this natural way, feelings of moral obligation are produced, and finally, the will is subdued. All i the provisions of the Gospel are in perfect harmony with I'm laws of the human mind. The Bible is given to man to teach him his duty. Not only to teach him his duty, but to reveal to him a knowledge of the true God and the relations which he sustains to God. The works of God teach that there is a Su- ( preme being; but in such ambiguous terms I that no one of Adam's fallen race ever has i been able tp come to the knowledge of the i truth respecting the existence and character ((lofGod. The Bible teaches this plainly and . positively. But such is the beauty and grandi eur of the Gospel, that provisions are made j not only to reveal the truth, but the Holy \, , Spirit undertakes on His part to lead the | . mind into the truth as it is in God's word. | [ The mind which has never lmd Jesus revealed to it, neither by God's word nor by God's . Holy Spirit, cannot believe in Christ. Faith . cometh by hearing. Christ must be revealed . to the sinner, and the sinner must unders stand, at least partially, his lost condition , and Christ's ability and willingness to save t sinners before he can will either to accept . or reject Jesus. When there is no knowledge f of Jesus, there can be no repentance, no faith, I no hope of salvation through if crucified Re- j j deeraer. [Original.] r RELIGION OUT OF THE CHURCH. , There are many individuals scattered over , Christian lands who have no connection, in i the ordinary sense of the word, with the peof pie of God. These individuals belong to no i Christian denomination. They hold church i membership with nobody. We do not refer - to that class of mankind whose immoral acts 1 manifestly declare that they are unfit for a 1 connection with the people of God; but to i that large and respectable class who, although 3 they exclude themselves from all the privi3 leges of the^chirrch, still cherish the hope that i they have true and genuine piety. To such i we would -say in all honesty, that they are T mistaken. They have no piety at all. They t have something that very much resembles 1 piety, but it is not piety. All their hopes of - unlvafinn arp vain. ? We are not so blind to the faults of pro* fessed Christians as to conclude that all who 3 have named the name of Jesus, have departed 7 from all iniquity. There are, no doubt, a vast * multitude of self deceivers and hypocrites in 3 the church, and the day of judgment will re3 veal the starding fact that few of those who 3 think they will be saVed wity see God's face in 3 peace. But notwithstanding all this, we speak 9 advisedly, and plainlytfbclare that there is no true and genuine piety, in the Bible sense of 9 the word, out of the church. A person may 8 be so situated that he cannot regularly enjoy 3 the means of grace, but not often.. The man 1 who has grace in his heart will make a pro~ fession of religion in spite of the pitiful barri" ere which preclude some people. j Some individuals keep themselves aloof from the church because they are unable to find any denomination of Christians to whose-doctrines and practices they can fully subscribe. This * is a most miserable subterfuge. % It would apT pear plausible in some places, perhaps, but 1 not in this land. The honest truth would sound much better, and would indicate a less diseased heart than this pitiful excuse. No * honest man in this land can say that he is out 3 of the church because he cannot find a denom3 ination of Christians which is, in the main, ' founded. upon the rock of ages. There are some things objectional in all denominations, 3 even to those who are the advocates and sup3 porters of these denominations; but what sane } man could expect it to be otherwise? No 3 family in the whole world is managed and } ruled in such a manner as to be satisfactory, k in every particular, to any oiie of its members. ' No child pleases its parents, and no parents > please their offspring in every respect. But 1 to abandon everything because it is not perr feet, would force us to abandon all association L with the human family, and even to exile our) selves from ourselves. The man who loves 7 Jesus has no sort of difficulty in finding Chris' tiana with whom he can conscientiously affiliate, and the man who cannot find such, has l,oo nn niofw in I KVCIJ ICOSUJJ IAJ JCttl bliuu 11^ nug uw ... his heart, and that he is still in the bond of " iniquity and gall of bitterness. Some men take pets and.leave the church. Such persons manifest the awful fact that they are strangers to the sanctifying grace of God. } You can not run the.child from its home. It clings to its mother with a death grip. So the i child of God cannot be^ruiivfrom the church; it is his home?God' rabbis father. There is 5 but one door which leads to heaven, and that ' is the church, and if any are saved out of the L church, it will astonish angels. t "IS IT A SIN TO BE RICH?" What a question, and yet we have seen this question asked and answered in all seriousness ^ in more than one religious journal. To the . abstract question there can oe, in all reason, but one answer. A man has a right to acquire 3 riches honestly, all other duties which a pros perous worldly condition imposes being dis, charged. It is hardly possible to do this and [ accumulate an extravagant amount of riches. , Take the New Testament?take the goldenrule?act by them to the letter and in their | spirit, and such are the circumstances of so ^ large a portion of mankind, that it would ret quire a liberal distribution of surplus earnings 1 to meet the requirements of the Saviour. The f saying of Christ that a rich man can hardly enter the kingdom of heaven, had not so much reference abstractedly to his riches, as it did 5 to their accompaniments. He knew, as we 3 all know, that persons of wealth are in the, - way of temptations which do not affect other r classes. God requires of them a certain use p of their means, which it is hard for human nature to make. The passion for wealth like ' most other passions of the human heart, grows with what it feeds upon, and, as a general ? thing, the larger the gains, the more eager the greed. And so riches become an idol and are t worshipped; they absorb, as it were, the soul . of their possessor, and hence he is in danger r of losing heaven for the reason that he has lost all desire and love for heavenly things. And this is what was meant when it was said v 1 1 -11 .1 _ l.i I . '; tnat a ricn man can naruiy enier ine nmgi J doixi. He has a burden, like Bunyan's pil grim, and what is worse, he loves his burden [ and clings to it. He is unwilling to-part with J ); it even with the grave opening before him;' ! and he goes down into the river with it and j 1 sinks, and the waters close over him. If it I were possible for mankind to be possessed of 1m I j riches and retain their purity of soul, as ?hey | | would under other conditions, and to meet the i responsibilities which they impose, we should . not have recorded the language of Christ on j j this subject. Perhaps he intended the rule !; I he laid down to the young man, "Go and sell j i ' j all that thou hast and give to the poor," as I ? one that should be applicable in all time, and j .' as a test of the sincerity of religious profes-,' . sions. Be this as it may, riches are a snare, j . (and there are very few who know how to use ' (i them, or knowing, do not follow knowledge so as to meet the requirements of God. We ' should prefer wealth for the good we can do ' with it; not for hoarding; not for the luxuri- j: ( ous living it will give us; not that it may pan- i . j der to pride, and show, and extravagance, and ! I ostentation ; but that through it we may honor < , j God and aid in building up His kingdom; : ! that we may relieve poverty and want, and :: '. woe; that we may advance religion and learn- i i '; ing, that jve may make the world better, ho-1. i lier, happier for our having been blessed with :! the spirit of love, and charity.?Sta thlard. !! i l IpSttllattMUis JWirtw. EXPRESSION'OF COLORS.-1 There is language of colors. They speak to j the eye as strains of music to the ear, and pro-, duce in us peculiar trains of ideas and sentiments. A witty Frenchman says, <h at he noticed quite a change in his wife's conversation when ne furnished her rooms in crimson in the place of blue. We will briefly mention what effect is exerted on the "mind by each of the primary and secondary colors?blue, red, yellow, orange, purple, and green. Blue is a cold aud retiring color, and its effect upon the mind is of a quiet, soothing, yet attractive nature. Goethe remarks: "As the high heavens, the far-off mountains, look to us blue, so a blue superficies seems to recede from us. As we would fain pursue an attractive object that flees from us, so we like to gaze at the blue?not that it urges itself upon us, but that it draws us after after it" It is symbolical of divinity, intelligence, sincerity. and tenderness. In accordance with the laws of contrast, blue is most suitable for summer costume, being peculiarly a winter color, and by nature cold and retiring. Red is a strong, ostentatious, and warm color; and being so beyond every other, it is therefore the fit symbol of war, pomp, and power. From its hot and fiery nature, it is expressive of anger and the ardent passions. Of all colors, red and its modified hoes are most suitable for winter costume. The warm, pleasing effect of a scarlet cloak on a cold win- j ter day is well known. Yellow is the color nearest approaching to light, and is most advancing and brilliant, either alone or in connection with other colors. As a rule, positive yellow should be sparingly used in dress, preference being given to its modified hues, such as gold-color, maize, and primrose. Yellow is the common symbol of envy and other malignant passions. Sha'kspeare, alluding to jealousy, says:? "I will possess him with yellowness." The effect of yellow upon the mind is of a bright, gay, gladdening nature, owing to its likeness to light, both- natural and artificial. Yellow is sometimes employed to express the richness of autumn, and also the season itself, although deeper and richer colors are more suitable, as russets and brown. In dress, yellow is most suitable for spring and early summer. Orange is a warm, prominent color, and both in nature and art appears to the best advantage when in small quantities, and associated with its contrasting colors, blue and purple. Orange is the.medium color between red and yellowy being prpduoed by a union of'both, and is ta&Ukr to'thevii in its properties and expression. In dress, orange is most suitable for winter ? ? U1 VCIJ CU11J DplUJ?. . * * [ Purple ia the most retiring of all rich colors. It is composed of red and blue, but is i not their medium color, being heavier, in its effect than the latter. Purple is symbolical of dignity, state, and regal power; it is a color frequently adopted fctf mourning, and is expressive of gravity, sorrow, and sadness.' Purple is suitable for winter, spring, and autumn costume. ? Green is a cool, calm, and refreshing color. It is composed of blue and yellow, ana holds a medium station between them. To the human eye there is no color so grateful as green, it being a temperate and retiring, as well as a most beautiful and cheerful color. Green is the peculiar garb of spring. Nature displays it at that season alone in freshness ana vigor. It is the symbol of youth, mirth, hope, gladness, tenderness, and prosperity. Green is most suitable for late summer or autumn costume, being fresh and grateful at a season when Nature arrays herself in bright and burning colors. SEA-FOWL. An American traveler gives a vivid description of the immense collections of sea-fowl on Ailsa Craig, an island on the west coast of Scotland:? t f "The steamer kept nearing the giant Craig, I which was a bare rock from summit to sea (900 feet high,) and of a dull, chalky whiter ness, occasioned, as the captain saia, by thfe excrement of the birds.- We had got so near as to see the white birds flitting across the black entrances of the caverns, like bees about the hive. With the spyglass we could see them distinctly, and in very considerable numbers, and at length approached so that we could see them on the ledges all over the, sides of the mountain. We Had passed the skirt on the Craig, and were witnin a half mile, or less, of its base.' With the glass we could now see the entire mountain side peopled with the sea-fowl, and could hear their whimpering, ho.usehold cry as they moved about or nestled id domestic sriugness on the ten thousand ledges. The air, too, about the precipices seemed to be alive with them. Still we had not the slightest conception of their frightful multitude. We got about agaiust the centre of the mountain, when the swivel was nnmnsflv fired. The shot went noint "'? r**"r?#?:? ?x blank against it and struck the tremendous precipice as from top to -bottom, with a reverbration like the disoharge of a hundred cannon. And what a sight followed! -They rose up from that mountain?the countless myrjads and millions of sea-birds?in a universal, over-1 whelming cloud that covered the whole heavens, and their cry waslike the cry of an alarm-, ed nation. Up thev went?millions ppon millions?ascending like thesmokeof a furnace? countless as the sands on the sea-shore?awful, dreadful for multitude, as if the whole mountain were dissolving into life and light, and with an unearthly kind of lament, took, up their line of march in every direction off to sea l The sight startled the people on board the steamer, who had often witnessed it before, and for some minutes there was a general quietness. For our own part, we were quite amazed and overawed at the spectacle. We had seen White Mountain Notches and Niagara Falls in our own land, and the vast> ness of the wide and deep ocean which was : then, separating us from it. We had seen I something of art's magnificence in the old ! world, 'its cloud-capped towers, its gorgeous palaces and solemn templesbut we had never witnessed sublimity to be compared to that rising of sea-birds from Ailsa Craig. They were of countless varieties, in kind and size, from the largest goose to the smallest marshbird, and of every conceivable variety of dismal note. Off they moved, in wild and alarm,ed rout, dike a people going into exile, filling the air far and wide with their reproachful j lament at the wanton cruelty that had broken : them up and driven them into captivity. We J really felt remorse at it, and the thought might, have occurred to us, how easy it would have | been for them, if they had known that the little smoking speck that was laboring along J the sea-surface beneath them, had been thelj cause of their banishment, to have settled | down upon it and engulfed it out of sight for- j ever! "We felt astonished that we had never be-, fore heard of this wonderful haunt of sea-fowl.! it struck 03 really as one 01 -tne wonaers 01 the world.' And not us alone: others, not atj all given to the marvelous, declared that it i surpassed every thing they had ever before \ witnessed. We supposed the mountain must' have been quite deserted, from the myriads | that had flown awaj ; but lifting the glass to it, p,s we were leaving its border, we were ap-' palled to find it still alive with the myriads left behind." A Curious Legend.?When Adum was far advanced in years and at the point of death, he sent his son to the angel Michajl, who kept the gate of Paradise, to pray for the oil of mercy, so that he could }be healed. The angel answered that it could not be until fifty- j five hundred years, but he gaveSeth a branch j of the tree of which Adam had eaten, bidding \ him plant it on Mount Lebanon, and that1 when it bore fruit his father should be healed, icth planted the branch on his father's grave; it took root and grew, and from it were made Aaron'a rod, and Moses' staff, with which he struck the rock and sweetened the waters of Marah. It also formed the pole on which the brazen serpent was lifted up, and the ark of the testimony rested. ' At last it came into the hands of Solomon, who used it in L'lilding his palace; but it continually resisted *he efforts of the builders to adjust it Now it- was too long, and then again too short The builders, being angry, then threw it into a marsh, so that it might serve as a bridge. The Queen of Sheba would not walk upon, but adored it, and told Solomon that upon it should be suspended the man through whose death the kingdom should be destroyed. Solomon then had it buried deep in the ground, where afterward the pool of Bethesda was dug, and from the virtaes of this tree healing properties were imparted to the waters. After it had been buried three hundred years it rose to the surface of the water, and the Jews tgok it and made of it the Cross of our Saviour.?LippincoWe Magazine. THE FOX AND THE LAND-CRAB. A young Land-crab once crept out of his pond to make a little excursion in a meadow, and see what was going on in the world. A Fox who happened to be passing at the moment, noticed the crab as he crept slowly along, and after having wisbbd him good morning added, in a mocking tone, "Where are you going so slowly ? When do you hope to get to the other side of this field! It seems to me that you go backward instead of forward." Now this was a clever young crab, who had heard how sly foxes are, and he thought there could be no harm in playing this one a trick, so he answered, politely, "I am only a crab, it is true, and I cannot walk so gracefully as you, Mr. Fox, but I can run much faster." Mr. Fox, sneered, "Indeed." "Well," said the crab, "as you appear to doubt my speed, suppose we run a race for a wager. Have you any objection f' . "Nothing could give me more pleasure," returned the Fox, "shall we fun from Berne to Bale, or from Bremen to Brabaut ?" "Oh, no, that would take up too much time, I suggest we try half a mile, or say a mile, that will not be too much for either of us." "A mile! echoed the Fox, as if he thought, "What is a mile to me? I can run that, while the crab is getting ready to start off." This seemed to please Mr. Fox, as he answered : ' "I will do exactly 'as you wish," turned himsplf rnund and Dlaced his bushv tail with in reach of the crab, who seized the long hair tightly with his claws, without the fox perceiving that he had done so, and shouted al the same moment: "Away." i Off started Mr. Fox, as if the hunters were behind him, his feet scarce touching the ground. As soon as he reached the nexi mile-stone, he turned round and cried: . "Where are you, Mr. Crab; where are you dawdling ?" . Now, as the Fox turiled roubd to look for his companion his tail touched, the mile-stone, and the crab, making the best of his opportunity, let go his hold, and answered: "Here I am waiting for you. I was just wondering when you intended to.mfke your appearance; you have certainly taken time to get over a miie." Now Mr. Fox, who had no idea that he had brought the crab all the way clinging to his brush, looked much astonished at seeing him there, not the least heated or tired, and not knowing what to say, he paid his wager and slunk home to his den, determined never to laugh at a crab again. Those who are always trying to deceive others, may expect some day to be caught by the very people they have been trying to dupe. , 0 , > THOUGHT. ? Next to the good heart and clear conscience, is the clear head. Dull thinkers are always led by sharp ones. The keen intellect cuts its way smoothly, gracefully, rapidly; the dull one wears its life out against the simplest problems. To perceive accurately and to think correctly, is the aim of all mental training, and? I had almost said?of life itself. But I will not say that. Heart and conscience are more than the mere intellect. Yet we cannot tell how much the clear, clean-cut thought, the intellectual vision, sharp and true, may aid even these. Some say that a man never feels till he sees, and when the object disappears the feeling ceases. So we cannot exaggerate the importance ol clear, correct thinking. We should eat, drink, sleep, walk, exercise body and mind, to this end. Just so far as we fail,' we make dolts and idiots of ourselves. We cast away oui natural armor and defence. The designing make us dupes; we are overreached by thf crafty, and trodden under foot by the strong Very likely there is a low murmur of conscience, too> for falling below its pure ideal This adds a sharp sting to the shame of con scious dullness. A man's great power in the natural world, among Nature's forces, water, steam and lightning, i3 not in his muscles, but in his brain, Any horse can pull harder, lift more, and endure longer than the most perfectly developed man. But a single human brain can#ontiu a nation of horses. It is for us, then, to lool out for this. If we would share what has nol only given Napoleons, Ccesars and Alexanders their power, but the great conquerors oi natural forces as welL?the Fultons and th< Morses?let us look out for the brain, see thai late suppers and indigestion do not rob it oi vitality, that alcohol does not harden it, noi want of sleep goad it on to insanity; but thai moral, honest living may render it the clear, strong, glorious thing it may become?IUinou Schoolmaster. LUTHER'S SNOW SONG. On a cold, dark night, when the wind was blowing hard, and the snow was falling fast, Conrad, a worthy citizen of a little town in Germany, sat plRying his flute, while Ursula, his wife, was preparing supper. They heard a sweet voice singing outside? "Foxes to their holes have gone, Every bird upon Its nest; Hut I wander hero alone, And for ine there is no rest." Tears filled the good man's eyes as he said, "What a fine, sweet voice! What a pity it should be spoiled by being tried in such weather." . V "I think it is the voice of a child. Let us open the door and see," said his wife, who had lost a little boy not long before, and whose heart was opened to take pity on the little wanderer. ' Conrad opened the door, and saw a little child, who said: "Charity, good sir, for Christ's sake!" "Come m, little one," said he. "You shall rest with me for the night." The boy said, "Thank God," and entered. The heat of the room made him faint, but Ursula's kind care so soon revived him* They gave him-some supper, and then he told them that he was the son of a poor miner, and wanted to be a priest ije wandered about and sang, and lived on the money the people gave him. His kiud friends would not let him talk much, but sent him to bed. When he was asleep they looked in upon him, and were so pleased with'his pleasant countenance that they determined to Keep him, if he was willing. In the morning they found that he was only too 'glad to remain with them. They sent him to school, and afterward he entered a monastery. There he found a Bi> ble, which he read, and learned the way of life. The sweet voice of the little singer became the strong echo of the good news, "Justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ." Conrad and Ursula, when they took that little street singer into their house, little thought that they were nourishing the great champion of the Reformation. The poor child was Martin Lutlier! : 11 ? t A temperance society has been organized in the town of Manning, this State, under encouraging auspices. f ftp forMIe tftpfrtr. g TERMS?I1V ADVAJVCEi | One Copy, one year, 4 3 00 One Copy, Six months, 1 75 One Copy, Three months, 1 00 f Two Copies, one year, 5 50 Five Copies, " ' " 12 50 g Ten Copies, " " 25 00 ; ?
