The editor who wills to please, Must humbly crawl upon his knees, And kiss the hand that beats him ; Or if he dare attempt to walk, Must toe the mark that others chalk, And cringe to all that meet him. Says one, your subjects are too grave? Too much morality you have? Too much about religion; Give mo some witch or wizard tales, With slip-shod ghosts, with tins and scales, Or feathers like a pigeon. I love to read, another cries, Those monstrous fashionable lies? In other words those novels, Composed of kings and queens and lords, Of border wars and Gothic hordos, That used to live in hovels. No?no, cries one, we've had enough Of such confounded lovesick stuff, To craze the fair creation; Give us some recent foreign news, Of Russians, Turks, the Greeks and Jews, Or any other nation. ^~The man of drilled soholastio lore, Would like to see a little more In scraps of Greek or Latin; The merchants rather have the price ut somnern inuigo una nan, Or India silk or satin. Another cries, I want more fun, A witty anecdote or pun, A rebus or a riddle; Some long for missionary newSj And some?of worldly, carnal viewsWould rather hear a fiddle. The critic, too, of classic skill, Must dip in gall his gander quill, And scrawl against the paper; Of all the literary fools, Bred in our colleges and schools, He cuts the silliest caper. Another cries, I want to see A.jumbled up varietyVariety in all things ; A miscellaneous, hoage-podge print, Composed, I only give the hint, Of multifarious small things. I want some marriage news, says Miss, It constitutes my highest bliss, To hear of weddings plenty; For in time of general rain None suffer from a drought, 'tis plain; At least not one in twenty. I want to hear of death, says one, Of people totally undone, By losses, fire or fever; Another answers, full as wise, I'd rather have the fall and rise Of raccoon skins and beaver. Some signify a secret wish For now and then a savory dish Of politics to suit them ; But here we rest with perfect ease, For should they swear the moon was cheese, We never should dispute them. Or grave or humorous, wild or tame, Lofty or low, 'tis all the same, Too haughty or too humble; And every editorial wight Has naught to do but what is right, And let the grumbler grumble. Itumawus Department. Struck a Bonanza.?A Decatur street grocer took a sugar-cured ham from its yellow overcoat the other day, stuffed the canvass with saw-dust and hung it temptingly before his door as a sign. Yesterday short-legged Jim came along and seeing the decoy, remembered that the old 'oman was out of meat, and concluded he'd appropriate what he termed the "big banana." Watching his chance he soon had the yellow fraud under his arm making for home. "Ole 'oman, hyar's a ham o' meat I fotched yer," he said as he deposited his prize. "Look hyar, nigger, whar in the name ob i T ?. L> J: J f-i-L ?U k?m 9" oe juaruo uiu yer iuluii up mu an u?k imuj . "As' rae no quischuns an' I'll tell yer no lies," said Jim, evasively.

"Shet yer fly trap, ole 'oman; wot de debbil you know 'bout Hayes? Fotch me dem scissors an le's sample dis ham." The scissors cut two or three stitches, and the saw-dust, began to pour out. There were two dark faces made darker by the revelation, and it flashed through Jim's mind that he hadn't struck a bonanza after all. "See hyar, Jim ; 'pears ter me dat ef I couldn't steal a shore nuff ham I wouldn't steal a bag ob sawdust!" Then Jim went down town fully satisfied that "all's not gold that glitters."?Bridges Smith's Paper. The Doctor's Card.?A San Francisco com doctor was summoned by a man who lived four miles out of the city. Hastily gathering up his case of instruments, files and acids, he walked through the pouring rain to the address indicated, and was shown into the parlor. The physician sent up his card, and shortly after the door opened, and a florid man, with unsteady legs, entered the apartment. "How do, Doc? Take a seat. Didn't think you'd come out in this rain, but you're a regular brick, and I knew it when I read your card. I wish you'd come and live out here. The whole neighborhood are a set of darned teetotalers." The practitioner opened his case of instruments, and asked his patient to put up his foot on a chair. The man assented, remarking that he never felt more comfortable in his life. He resented, however, all efforts of the doctor to pull off his socks, and threatened to shoot him for attempting to haul his boots off. "How can I treat you until I see your corns ?" cried the chiropodist. "Corns be blowed !" answered the dweller in the suburbs. "I ain't got no corns. Don't your card say, 'Gentlemen treated at their own residences?' and I sent for you because I am out of liquor, and I want souie brandy pretty darned quick!" There was a cry of anguish as the doctor took his largest file and rubbed all the skin off his patient's nose. ? Something to Remember.?A story is told of a Yankee who, traveling in the back districts of Georgia, sought shelter from a "northeaster" in the cabin of a "native." He was welcomed to the ample fireside around which were gathered the Georgian with his wife and numerous family. In vain were the gum logs piled upon the hearth, while through open doors and windows came the pitiless j blast. The stranger took in the situation at a j glance, and soon made everything fast. As : the genial glow spread through the now snug i cabin, the circle around the hearth expanded, 1 and the bewildered but delighted host asked : I "Say, stranger, how did you do that?" "I simply closed the doors and windows, as we do at the North," was the reply. "Is that all ? Now, old woman, remember i that next time." ? Doctor and Preacher.?Dr. Louis of New Orleans, who is something of a wag, ; called on a colored Baptist minister, and propounded a few puzzling questions. "Why is ! it," said he, "that you are not able to do the nairaeles that the apostles did ? They were protected against all poisons and all kinds of perils. How is it that you are not protected in Hump wav ?" The colored brother re-1 sponded promptly, "Don't know about that, 1 doctor; I s'pect I is. I've taken a mighty sight of strong medicine from you, doctor, and I is alive yet." The Gender of Sugar.?"What gender 1 is sugar?" asked a teacher of the grammar class. "What kind of sugar?" asked the boy. "What kind ?" repeated the teacher. "What has that to do with it?" "Why, if its maple sugar, it's feminine gender," said the boy. "Why feminine gender?" asked the teacher, with a puzzled face. "Because you can't tell its age," promptly replied the boy. A young and good-looking bachelor minister, who recently took charge of an upcountry church, rather astonished his flock the first Sunday by announcing that he proposed getting up a girl's Bible class right off, and he wanted to embrace every young woman within the sound of his voice. Ihc Jam and Jhtside. SOWING GRASS SEED. The following directions for sowing grass seeds will be found useful at the present time In sowing we advise, for obvious reasons, thai the soil should be clean, in good condition? the surface made level and firm and perfectly pulverized by harrowing and rolling. A calm still day, when rain is approaching, u most suitable for the work. After sowing, the surface should be only lightly harrowed and rolled. A firm seed bed and a depth ol covering of a quarter to half an inch is most favorable for the vegetation of small seeds. If covered deeply they do not grow at all, or in very small proportions; if not covered, many of the seeds are picked up by small birds, and the vegetation of those that escape depends upon their being washed into the soil by rain. Young grasses are injured by frost. The proper season, therefore, extends from March to September; the spring months are preferable. If the land works unkindly, seeds will not vegetate well, and a larger quantity must be sown to obtain a plant. Grass seeds may be sown with or upon land already planted with wheat, barley or oats, as a regular crop, with every chance of success?except in cases where the cereal crops CM nnar oKiinrlont nnd lndcrfid. When 80wn WAV Vtw* ?? O * without a crop?for the safe protection of the finer grasses and to increase the produce of the first year, it is advisable to add to the quantity of rye grass sown, and also a bushel of oats or barley per acre. ? # First Working of Corn.?If the land has been packed by rain since the corn was planted, run close and break deep?if the land is close and open, the ploughing is not important. In that event use plows that will go over rapidly and save labor?a shovel, or sweep, or cultivator will answer. Avoid throwing much dirt to the young corn, only enough to cover up any young grass that may be present, but be sure that it is well covered. Much hoeing will not pay in a com crop; the plow alone ought very nearly to make the crop. Of course thinning and some chopping is generally unavoidable. Thin to a stand as soon as danger of frost and worm is over. Nothing is more prejudicial to a plant than having another plant with the same wants growing beside it. The struggle for existence then becomes intensified. If the middles are not very hard or foul, and time presses, they need not be ploughed out at this working. In any event push on rapidly to give cotton its first working just as soon as it will bear it. The farmer who keeps well ahead, not only stands the best chance to make the best crops, but will do it with very much less actual labor than the laggard. Let it never be forgotten that the time to kill grass is before it can be seen. Besides, every one knows that early and frequent workings make cotton grow off" rapidly?and an early growth of stalk is one of the surest antecedents of a large crop of bolls. Sweet Potatoes.?And now for the potato patch, as we call it. Plough your intended potato patch two or three times before setting out draws, having it in rows. Plough and reverse, getting the soil in fine tilth. When the time is near for setting out, take a single shovel plough, open your beds to the depth of three iuches, put a little pure stable manure in the trench and await the rain. If the rain does Dot come, set out with water? half a pint to each hill?the earth being pressed firmly around the potato root, and a little dry sprinkled around the top ground. Next is the setting out?some say one foot, some say two feet apart?I say four inches. The best cultivation is to plough to your potato all the time, pulling the earth up around the little plants with the hoe the first working. Never bar off, thereby saving the small roots which make potatoes, and save one-half the ploughing. In 1876, I made 150 bushels sweet potatoes on one-half acre of land by this mode?giving one hoeing, or pulliug up with the hoe, and two ploughings to the potatoes.?R. L. Tanner. The Cucumber.?This, like the melon, wants rich land having iu its composition an abundant supply of vegetable matter. Its roots do not run so far as the roots of the watermelon, hence one can, in planting it, have a better excuse for making the land richest near the hill. For the ordinary varieties, the hills should be made about six feet apart. Put in plenty of seeds to make sure of a good stand, and when the plants begin to ruu, thin to two in the hill. If the weather is dry, the plants should be treated to frequent watering with liquid manure, and also to mulching with some kind of litter calculated to prevent the moisture from drying out. As a food the cucumber is by no means worth its weight in gold; still people will make use of it?and that is their busiuess of course. The way of preparing it to make it most wholesome, is to cook it precisely as you cook egg plants. Properly prepared in this way it is very much like the egg plant. To be in proper condition for this preparation, it must be almost ripe?must be cooked just before the seeds have become too hard to cut readily. Preserving Brick Work.?A cotemporary says: "The exclusion of damp from brick work has long been an important problem with builders. It is stated that one of the most effective methods of accomplishing this object is the following: Three-quarters of a pound of mottled soap are dissolved in one gallon of boiling water, and the hot solution spread steadily with a flat brush over the outer surface of the brick work, care being taken that it does not lather; this is allowed to dry for twenty-four hours, when a solution, formed of a quarter of a pound of alum dissolved in two gallons of water, is applied in a similar manner over the coatiug of soap. The soap and alum form an insoluble varnish which the rain is unable to penetrate, and this cause of dampness is said to be effectually removed. The operation should be performed in dry, settled weather. Another method is to use eight parts of linseed oil and * 111. x_J X il X- flT O one part or suipnur, neaieu rogeiner to no degrees in an iron vessel." Sowing on Horseback.?Numerous as have been the instructions of late for preserving the almost "lost art" of sowing grain by hand, there remains one mode that has escaped mention, and which, when mentioned, will probably be derided by those who have not tried it. I allude to sowing on horseback. Sulky rakes, sulky rollers, etc., are regarded as useful contrivances for the saving of human labor, but none of your correspondents appear to have thought of making the horse perform the labor of walking, and carrying seed bag and sower to and fro across the field during the operation of sowing the grain. And yet, after a long experience, the writer has found that ho could distribute seed grain more regularly from the saddle than on foot, and with far more ease and comfort?as any good seedsman will find after a short practice. Grass seeds, however, being lighter than grain, are best sown on foot. Live Stock.?When the coat is shedding. the use of the card, or a smootn currycomo, should not be neglected. There is then an irritation of the skin, which is allayed by brushing or carding; besides, the loose hail is removed and does not rub off on the clothes, A teaspoonful of sulphur daily, to every ani I raal, for a week or two, would be helpful.

When you make a mustard plaster, us< no water whatever, but mix the mustard witl: the white of an egg and the result will be a plaster which will "draw" perfectly, but wil! not produce a blister even upou the skin o an infant, no matter how long it is allowec to remain upon the part. Vermin.?As soon as the warm weathei comes on, lice and ticks become active, anc annoy the animals greatly. A mixture o equal parts of lard and kerosine oil, put or the back and brisket of cows, calves am sheep, will have a good effect. gtcMinij fur the fahhath CONDUCTED BY , KEV. ROUERT LATHAN. I [Original.' : HEAYENLY RECOGNITION. The relationships which exist between mem . bers of the humau family, are often very clos i j and intimate. Still, every earthly relation ': ship is liable to be dissolved at any raomenl L Some time or other, the tie which binds ever member of the human family to any othe member of the race, will be broken. Deatl severs the bond which unites husband ana wue , parent and child, brother and sister, an* every other bond. The question springs U| 1 in the mind, will all these earthly relation cease forever to exist at death, or will thej be revived at the resurrection and continue b exist throughout an endless eternity? Ii other words, will those who are friends in thi world, recognize each other in heaven? Near ly all that has been said or written on thi subject may, with great propriety, be pu down under the head of vague speculation It is not, however, sinful to think and tall about this subject. On the contrary, it raaj be so improved as to result in great good. In our reflections on "Heavenly Recogni tion," we should remember that by far th< greater number of relationships which exis between members of the human family, ceasi to exist at death. In the next world' ther< will be no husbands, no wives, no fathers, n< mothers, no sons, no daughters. This slate ment may startle some; but we think it ii Scriptural. Under the Jewish economy, i was a regulation that when a man died with out children, his brother was required t< marry his widow and raise up seed to bis de ceased brother. For the regulation on thii subject, see Deut. xxv: 5. During the time that our Saviour was upor earth, there was a religious sect among th< Jews called Sadducees. They denied th< resurrection. Some of them?no doubt theii leaders?came to Jesus and stated this case There were seven brothers in a certain com munity. The oldest married and died, leav ing his wife a widow. She, according to th< regulation referred to above, became the wif< of the second brother. The second brothei died and the woman became the wife of thi third brother. Thus the thing continuec until all seven of the brothers married hei and died. Finally, the woman died. Th< Sadducees, for the purpose of entrapping th< , Saviour, asked him whose wife the womar would be regarded in the resurrection ? Le it be remembered, that the only object th< Sadducees had in view was to make the doc trine of the resurrection, which the Saviou: taught, appear, as they supposed, absurd Our Saviour answered the question of thes< Sadducees, by telling them that they did no understand the Scriptures. That is, they dit not understand what the Bible taught con cerning the resurrection. One of their errori was in supposing that in the resurrection there would be either husbands or wives. It the resurrection, each of the seven brothen would be raised up, not as a husband, but at a man. The woman who had been the wife of seven husbands, and these all brothers and at last died being a widow, would b< raised up neither as a wife nor as a widow but as a woman. See Matthew, xxii: 23?31 We think it is scarcely possible that we ar< mistaken in our interpretation uf this pas sage of Scripture, and if not, we may concludi that in the next world there will be no hus * bands, ncrwives, no parents-aud iid children We do not mean, as any one will see, that th< persons who were husbands, wives, parents oi children, will cease to exist at death ; but tha the relationships which are denoted by th< words husband, wife, parents, children, wil cease forever at death. The marriage law, as laid down and ex plained by our Saviour, confirms the viev taken above. Under Old Testament dispen satioD, both polygamy and divorce were per mitted. In his wisdom, God permitted botl these sinful practices to remain among th< children of Israel, although he never ap 1 " ti .1 if. . proved ot either; ana Dotn were me sourci of much evil. Under the New Testamen dispensation, neither are permitted ; but botl are forbidden. See Matthew v:32; ant Mark x:4-13. Fornication, adultery ant polygamy, are all forbidden by the Saviour Now Paul, in 1st Corinthians, vii: 39, says "The wife is bound by the law as long as he husband liveth; but if her husband be dead she is at liberty to be married to whom shi will: only in the Lord." The same is tru< respecting the husband. When his wife dies I he is at liberty to be married to whom h< 1 will: only iu the Lord. This being the case it follows that when a woman's husband dies she is no longer a married woman, but a wid ow; and wheu a man's wife dies, he is no Ion ger a married man, but a widower. In othe: words, death breaks up the marriage relation Were this not the case, then it would be ira possible to recoucile the passages of Scriptun referred to. Every widower who marrie again would be the husband of two wivesone living the other dead. It will be admitted by all civilized people that there is no relationship amongst member of the human family so intimate and so im portant, as that which is denoted by th< words, husbaud and wife. It is the founda tion upon which is laid all civil governmen and social relationships. Destroy the mar riage relation, and the words father and moth er, brother and sister, cease to have any mean ing. The human family are degraded to i level with the beasts of the field?without i home and without a country. We conclud that if the marriage relationship ceases to ex ist at death, every other earthly relationshi] also ceases. If, in the resurrection, they neith er marry nor are given in marriage, then al ' those relationships which are confessedly o less importance and less intimate, will no exist. Heavenly recognition, then, in the sens j that all or any of our merely earthly rela 1; tionships will be revived and perpetuate! j throughout eternity, we honestly believe, i , inconsistent with both common sense and th j teachings of the Scripture. In heaven, Jesu [ Christ will absorb and swallow up every thin] ' j else. The only thing that the ransomed ii | heaven will remember about time, will b r that they were washed in the blood of th I Lamb. The very remembrance of sin will b . blotted out forever, and every relationshi] " which was marred by the fall will be forgol ten. The very recurrence of the mind to all 5 or any one of our merely temporal relation i ships, would mar the bliss of heaven. 1 It must, however, be remembered that man' P relationships are, some of them, physical am I some of them moral. All believers are merr bers of the same family?children of the satn | parent. They are sons and daughters of th J Lord Almighty. This is not a temporal re P latiouship. It may be said to begin in time , but it will not end with time. It will contic 1 ue throughout a never ending eternity. Th < moment an individual believes in Jesus Chrisi he becomes a child' of God. All believert are, therefore, children of God, and, conse - quently, brothers and sisters. This relation ship will never end. Here on earth, all be _ lievers ought to recognize each other as chil I dren of the same heavenly parent; in heaver they certainly will do it. Here some say thej i- are of Paul, others say they are of Apollos e and others again say they are of Cephas; bul i- in heaven all will say "I am of Christ.' t. Nothing can be more intimate than the rela y tionship which exists between believers. Inr dividually, they are all redeemed by the blood !i of Jesus Christ; all are quickened by the same >, spirit; all are justified by faith ; all are adoptj ed into the same spiritual family ; all are the p objects of God's special grace; all are heire s of the same promises ; all are journeying to y that good land which the Lord has said, "1 0 will give it you all love Jesus, and all are 1 commanded to love one another. In thie s wilderness journey, they are divided into - twelve tribes, but they are all Israelites; all s love God and try to keep his commandments, t All over Christendom, the tribes of God are . going up to the New- Jerusalem. Hand in i hand, heart in heart they sing: f "How glorious is the land we seek, A land without a tomb; An everlasting resting place, A sure and quiet home." 3 The dull monotony of time is broken by the t travelers to the New Jerusalem as tbey repeat 3 in thrilling accents? 3 "Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee ; > Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see." s This relationship?the result of God's ret deeming love and these devotional feelings, . the offspring of God's regenerating and sanc) tifying spirit?will never cease. When the . church militant, in all its members, becomes 3 the church triumphant, then that vast assembly will sing together that new song of which j we read in the 14th and 15th chapters of Rev3 elation. O, how the pious soul longs to be 3 there! 0, what it will be to hear that great r multitude of brethren, that no man can num. ber, shouting in sweet and harmonious accents, "Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just aud true are thy ways, j thou King of saints." Rev. xv : 3. 3 This will be heavenly recognition in the p truest and fullest sense. The united voices 3 of the redeemed, praising the Lamb, will be j like the voice of many waters. Oh ! how the r pious soul longs to be there. In contempla3 ting the scene, the soul is bewildered and the 3 tongue can only lisp, "we know not what we j shall be, but we know, when Jesus appears, t we shall be like him, for we shall see him as 3 he is." 1 John iii: 2. All the ransomed in heaven will see Jesus, the Lamb, upon the r throue, aud Jesua will see them, and they will mnfitallir M/innniva oonh nthor f) it. will UiUVUailJ IWVVgUiOU VMVIA VMI?V?? V, ..... 3 be glorious to bo there! The smiles of Jesus t will 611 the great brotherhood of the redeemed j with ineffable bliss. They will love God, and . they will love each other. The friends oi 3 Jesus will meet around the throne, and they will recognize each other as the children of j the same heavenly Parent, and sharers of the , same heavenly inheritance. This will be 3 bliss. This will be all the recognition that ? ransomed souls will desire. This subject may be turned to a profitable 3 account, by reflecting that those who are children of God here, will continue to be children of God in heaven. Death separates the most ^ intimate friends here upon earth. In some instances, the separation will be forever ; in 5 others, it will not. In the case of believers, it is only for a time. After the resurrection _ and final jndgma***r"w^ hwlinnnra iyj|| mept in heaven, to part no more. When, however, r at death, the saint and sinner part, it is to j. meet no more. It is sad to reflect that the same kind of a j recognition which will be in heaven among the saved, will be among the lost in the world of woe. In heaven, believers will meet as children of God ; unbelievers will meet in 7 the regions of despair, as children of the wicked one. Oh ! the wailing, the hollow groans, the gnashing of teeth, that will be 1 there! No one will have time, in hell, to 3 think of any pleasant relations which he or she had in time. Boon companions will meet 3 each other, not with a smile, nor with a pleas^ ant salutation ; butwith dark frowns and bitter j curses. The doctrine of future recognition j has no joys for the rejecters of Jesus. On the contrary, it will be one ingredient in their ' cup of woe. In the parable of the rich glut' ton and Lazarus, (Luke 16) it is stated that r the rich man asked that some one he sent to ' his father's house to "testify to his five breth" ren, lest they also come iuto this place of tor3 raeut." The main design of the parable is ' to teach U3 that if men reject the ordinary 3 means of grace, no other means would be ' efficacious in turning them from their sins. ' This being the case, it is thought by some wise commentators, that the desire expressed by the rich man is mentioned, not on account of any love he had for his brothers or desire for their salvation ; but that he might avoid their jibes. It is thought that he was, probably, the oldest of his father's children and had exercised a controlling influence over them. In the event they were not converted, they would follow him to that place of tor' ment in which he was, and when they would 9 enter they would greet him with bitter reproaches because he had led them astray. ?

Children heaping abuse upon their parents, because * they did not lead them in the path of duty ; 1 and parents abusing their children, because e they are in the same place of torment with themselves, as so many glowiBg coals in the P fire that is never quenched.
