GETTING HER FATHER'S CONSENT.
A merchant tailor haying accnmulated a
competency by his trade, determined to throw
aside his shears and bodkin and spend the
remainder of his life upon a farm. He purchased
several hundred acres of land, and
there was a "Gshing ground" on the estate.
Mr. C., the ex-raerchant, was delighted with
his new occupation, and he devoted his best
efforts, with untiring zeal, to farming. Being
hard nf hpArinor. h? often made ludicrous
blunders, which excited the mirthfuloess of
his friends and customers. His graceful and
beautiful daughter was at a boarding-school
at the time her father kept the farm. She
had a lover, and promised to marry him, providing
he could obtain the consent'of her parent
to the matrimonial alliance.
The young man traveled South as far as
the iron horse would take him in that direction.
On the morning after his arrival, while |
strolling about the village, he met a plain old
gentleman dressed in homespun, and inquired
of him if there was any conveyance to hire.
"Principally pike and mullet," said he.
"You misunderstand me. I merely?"
"From a shilling to eighteen pence a
pound."
"Do you intend to insult me?"
"I will let you have a large quantity for a
shilling."
"I have a good mind to give you a caning
for your impertinence."
"Well, if you do not choose to give it I
kuow who will."
"I should like to know if there are any more
such fools as you in this place."
"We shall make another haul in the morning
before daylight" :

pearance, and the stranger stated his grievance
to him. He said:
"I have been asking this old man a few civil
questions, and he has given me most impertinent
answers."
"O, he is deaf!" exclaimed the third party.
"He is deaf as a post! But he is a fine old
gentleman ; he deals in fish, and so do I. He
may think I am endeavoring to undersell him.
Favor me by writing your question on a
scrap of paper."
The young man commenced writing, when
the old farmer fisherman interrupted him
with the remark:
"I will not take a note of hand. Cash on
the nail, or no trade."
"He is preparing a note," said the last comer.
"Call me a brute, do you?" exclaimed Mr.
C. "Then take that;" and suiting the action
to the word, he dealt him a blow straight
from the shoulder which prostrated him.
By this time the note was finished, when
the old gentleman found out his mistake.
The stranger discovered that he had been
picking a quarrel with his prospective fatherin-law
!
Mr. C. made an apology, and invited both
narties to dine. The front door of his house
commanded a view of a meadow in which a
cow was feeding, and while Mr. C. was looking
in that direction the young lover commenced:
"I am acquainted with your daughter."
"She is a fine beast," remarked the old gentleman,
looking at the cow.
"Your daughter!" screamed the young
man. "I have the honor to be well acquainted
with her."
"She is a noble animal," was the response.
"Confound the old cow!" said the young
man, in a whisper. "I wish she was out of
sight."
"I was speaking about your amiable and
accomplished daughter."
"She is very kind indeed?never breaks
down the fences, never kicks over the pail,
never stays away like the other brutes that I
have."
"You don't understand me, sir. 1 was
speaking of your daughter at boardingschool."
"No, I never put a board on her face:
she doesn't do any mischief at all."
"Your daughter!" shouted the young man.
"Did you say I ought to?"
"No, sir. I was speaking of your daughter,
the young lady away from home."
"0, yes, I have plenty of room, but I think
she is too old to keep mucn longer. io ten
you the truth I have made up my mind to
shut her up in the stable and feed her on
chop stuff a few weeks."
"Great heavens!" remarked the young
man to himself; "what shall I do? This
deafness will be the death of me! I will try
once more, and if this effort fails, I will resort
to paper and pencil again."
"I should like to say a word to you respecting
your daughter."
"I will let the butcher have her by and by
if he will give me my price," said the old man,
with emphasis.
As a last resort the young man used his
pencil and paper, showed his letters of introduction,
handsomely endorsed by men whose
opinion was good authority on the delicate
queston on the tapis. After a little crossquestioning
and a little hesitation, the old
gentleman gave his consent; and when the
parties were married, he declared that it was
the best haul he had made in his life.
"NO VACANCIES."
The Washington correspondent of the Hartford
Times sends to that paper the following
story of department life in Washington : Postmaster-General
Key having officially and repeatedly
made the announcement that there
are "no vacancies" in his department, an
old post-office clerk is reminded of the following
story told by the late John C. Rives
of the Globe. He says that Rives used
to tell the story on Major Hobbie, who for
many years was first assistant postmastergeneral,
and who, like our present high officials,
was ever ready with the fatal answer,
"no vacancy," to all applicants. Rives said
the major had promised to appoint a friend
of his to the first vacancy ; and he had called
on him repeatedly to fulfill that promise ; but
the invariable answer, "no vacancy," was the
excuse, until he had about concluded to relinquish
the matter as a bad job. At length,
one day, his friend called on him out of breath
from running, and told him that Mr. Paine, a
post-office clerk, had just been drowned in
the canal, at the same time begging that he
would go with him to secure his place from
Major Hobbie. Thinking he had a sure thing
this time, Mr. Rives said, they both hastened
to the major's office, and confidently renewed
their application. "!No vacancy," said the
major. "Yes, there is," said the applicant;
"Paine is dead?drowned in the canal?and
I have just seen his body on the bank, awaiting
the coroner's inquest." Whereupon Major
Hobbie sent immediately for his miscellaneous
clerk, Mr. Marr (who has acted in the
same capacity for every postmaster-general
si nee V and. to the astonishment of all present,
/w ? ,
Marr confirmed the stereotyped reply,"no vacancy."
But, yes, there is," the applicant
insisted ; "Paine is drowned ; I just saw his
dead body fished out of the canal," said Mr.
Rives. "How is this? is poor Paine really
gone?" "Certainly," said Marr ; "drowned
in the canal; and his place was filled an hour
ago by the appointment of the man who saw
him fall in !" Mr. Rives said after this he
never tried again.
A Member of the Legislature.?During
a recent session of the United States circuit
court at Portsmouth, the counsel for defendant
was examining a witness with the
object of establishing the fact that the defendant
had been a member of the State legislature,
when his honor observed that it was a
gratuitous statement and not material. Counsel?"But
I think, your honor, it is evidence
of respectability for a man to have beeu a
member of the legislature of this State."
His Honor?"Hum?I have my doubts about
that!" Counsel?"I will not press the point,
your honor."

CLOVER AND GRASSES.
An Essay read before the Summer Meeting of the
State Grange, at Anderson, S. C., on the 16th of
August, prepared by a committee of Newberry
Pomona Grange.
The subject of growing grasses at the South
is of such vital importance, your committee
feel that it is impossible to discuss the subject
| as fully as it merits. The experience of your
committee is that red clover on clay upland
and stiff bottom lands can be grown with
greater profit than any other crop. In order
that the hay crop of the United States may
be known, we copy from the Hay, Straw and
Grain Reporter:
The aggregate reported value of all farm
products in the United States for 1870, was
$2,447,538,658; but as this includes additions
to stock, it is probably too high. Now, the
hay crop for that year?that is, the grass dried
and cured for use, sold?is reported at over
27,000,000 tons. This, at half the selling
price in large cities, would amount to $405,000
000. and is far greater than the aggregate
home value of the cotton crop or any other
I crop. But the cured hay is but a portion of
the grass crop. The other portion is used ou
the ground, and it requires considerable calculation
to get at the value so used, even in
the roughest way.
In the first place, live stock, including
I horned cattle, horses, sheep, swine, <fec., to
the value of $1,525,0()0,000, were fed from it
! that year. Averaging the lives of these at
five years, we have one-fifth of the sum as
representing the grass fed to them in 1870,
viz : $305,000,000. Next, we find the value
of the animals slaughtered for food in that
year to be $300,000,000, and, as this is an annual
product, the whole of it will, for the present,
be credited to the grass crop. Next, we
find that the butter crop of 1870, was 514,000,000
pounds, which, at the low average of
25 cents, amounts to $128,000,000, and this
goes to the credit of grass. Next, we have
335,000,000 gallons of milk, which, averaged
at the low estimate of 10 cents per gallon,
adds $25,000,000 more; and, finally, 53,000,000
pounds of cheese at 10 cents, adding over
$5,000,000 to the total credits to the grass of
1870, which aggregate $887,000,000. Now,
let us add to the value of the hay crop as
given above, viz.: $450,000,000, and we have
a grand total for hay and the products of
grass consumed on the ground, amounting to
$l,2y2,UUU,UUU ! This is, ot course, suojeci 10
deductions, as the meat, butter, milk, cheese
and wool producing animals consumed other
food besides grass and hay. To make ample
allowance for this we deduct the entire value
of the corn and oat crop of 1870, estimated
at $270,000,000, and this leaves a remainder
of $1,082,000,000, to be credited to the hay
and grass crop of that year, when the reported
aggregate of all farm products was 82,447,528,658.
If our estimates make even
the roughest approach to accuracy, the value
of that crop was two-fifths of the aggregate
value of all farm products, and hence we may
infer that two-fifths of the capital then invested
in agricultural pursuits, was devoted to
the grass crop, and this, in the United States,
in round numbers is $4,575,000,000.
Considering the grasses an important crop,
we five our exnerience as well as observation
0_ ______ a
in growing red clover, demonstrating beypnd
all controversy that on land containing a
large per centage of clay as well as stiff bottom
lands, not subject to overflow, or, in other
words, number one wheat land, is more remunerative
than the same lands planted in
any other crop ; and to prove this, our farmers
are increasing the area annually sown
down in clover; in fact, an enterprising farmer
of our county remarked a few days ago
that he was disgusted with a clover patch, but
instead of an acre or two he wished to engage
seventy-five pounds of seed for bis fall sowing.
Our farmers are beginning to realize the
importance of the grasses, and when it be
comes general, there will be a marked improvement
in our stock, and the surplus will
find a ready market in our cities, now furnished
by the East.
A subject worthy of earnest consideration,
in connection with the cultivation of clover,
is the probability that the growth of this
plant removes from the atmosphere many of
those impurities which are classed under the
name of malaria or miasma, and which are
acknowledged to be the cause of fever. It is
well remembered that some learned observers
in Holland noticed a diminution aud often
disappearance of miasmatic diseases?such as
bilious, remittent and intermittent fevers?in
localities where the common sunflower grew
in abundance. This, no doubt, is owing to
nnnt' ni? m Kama n I* iko fl rr?
tue auu vast uuiuucio vi tut uwwers
feediDg upon those effluvia which, when
inhaled, are so pernicious to the human family.
The experiment has been tried in this
country, but the seed of the sunflower is of
such limited use, that the crop has never been
sufficiently large to be followed by satisfac
tory results. Now, it is a well-known fact,
that the family of luguminous plants, of
which clover, beans and peas are members,
derive nearly all their nourishment from the
atmosphere. Johnson, in his agricultural
chemistry, says : "DeSaussure found that two
beans, when caused to vegetate in the open
air on pounded flints, doubled the weight of
the carbon they originally contained. Uuder
similar circumstances Boussingault found the
seeds of trefoil (clover) increased in weight
two and a half times." The source of the
carbon in these cases cannot be doubted. It
was the air. These seed, then in germinating,
I not only derived their nourishment from the
I atmosphere, but that nourishment was carbou.
Carbon exists in the atmosphere in the
form of carbonic acid gas. When it is pure,
no animal can live in it but a moment. The
atmosphere that contains one-ninth of its
bulk in carbonic acid gas is unfit for respiration.
It follows, then, that the air is unwhole!
some in proportion with the quantity of the
; gas contained iu it, aud those plauts which
i feed the most greedily upon carbon are the
I most conducive to health. Clover, being of
; the family of the leguminoaca and remarkable
with all the other members of the family for
drawing its nourishment from the surroundj
ing air, and that nourishment being carbonic
i acid gas, the destroyer of our ability to resist
i the influence of fever-poison, it behooves the
peeple to give their serious attention to its
i cultivation, as a crop alike beneBcial to their
| health and general prosperity. We recom;
mend that inquiries be put on foot to ascer1
tain whether or not those sections of country
| where clover is largely cultivated are re- |
markable for freedom from malarious dis- !
! eases.
Our experience is that clover should be
sown the first season in October, on land
thoroughly prepared, and if not already well
manured, add, according to fertility, one huni
dred to two hundred pounds fertilizer to the
acre, or sufficient to a standard that will yield
i fifteen to twenty bushels of wheat or corn to
the acre. Ploughing deep and close, sow seed
at the rate of ten pounds to the acre, passing
a light brush over the ground, or, if a roller is
on haDd,roll, which covers the seed sufficientj
ly deep for germination. Avoid covering too
deep. In the spring?say in March?add one
1 hundred pounds of ground plaster to the acre
i while the plant is damp. If seasonable, a fair
crop may be cut iu June. When mowed, add
one hundred pounds of plaster to the acre,
and so on after each cutting and in the spring
following. Failing to get a stand, mow in
the fall. Prepare the same land and sow in
February, using one-quarter bushel oats or
rye to the acre ; plough under the grain aud
brush or roll under the seed as above.
Clover may be sown with small grain and
a full crop of the latter made, thus making
small grain pay the expenses ot the crop ; out
when clover is the main object and to be cut
J the first year, no grain should be sown with it.
' When not over one-fourth of the bloom
turns brown, the crop should be mowed, and if
the mower is used, all mowed during the day
: should be put in cocks. Two hours' exposure
I the day following will ordinarily be sufficient
ly long to cure the hay. In case of the appearance
of rain put in good cocks and let it
remain so. Hay partially cured by the son and
housed and changed every two days in the
barn, until beyond danger of mould, is decidedly
preferable to curing altogether in the
sun. If cut with grass scythes, the same process
in curiug is necessary, only requring a longer
time, owing to the heavy swaths aud the consequent
frequent turning. Land that will
yield fifteen bushels to the acre will furnish
two tons of good clover hay the first cutting,
and as the fertility of the soil is increased, the
yield will be increased, even to five tons.
In addition to clover for hay, herds, orchard j
and Timothy grasses are regarded as suitable i
to our climate and soil; the former does best i

mense crop. Orchard grass is better adapted
to high uplands, orchards and groves ; Timothy
on strong, well drained low lands. Lucerne,
on lands adapted to clover, as well as
on sandy, produces a most wonderful yield,
and is used either for hay or as, perhaps, the
very best perennials for soiling. The preparation
of the soil should be thorough and manured
very heavily, sowiDg, either in drills or
broadcast, ten pounds of seed to the acre and
covered lightly.
An inexhaustible supply of hay can be
made by cleaning up waste bottom land? too
wet for cultivation, mowing in May and September
until the annuals are destroyed, giving
place to perennial grasses.
Any grass or weeds that stock will eat
when green will make forage if cut in the
bloom and properly cured, even the rag weed,
so thoroughly experimented with, and so admirably
utilized by the Hon. J. Washington
Watts, of Laurens county.
winter pastures.
Yellow clover, now cultivated to a limited
extent in this State, sown in September, is
ready for pasturage as early as the middle of
January, the first year; afterwards in December
: ripens and dies about the last of May ;
the land planted in corn or other crop, and in
the fall it springs up again.
Lands thus used are rapidly improved until
they reach a high state of fertility.
How to tell a Horse's Age.?The colt
is born with twelve grinders ; when four front
teeth have made their anDearance, the colt is
twelve days old, and when the next four
comes forth, it is four weeks old. When the
corner teeth appear, the colt is eight months
old ; when the latter have attained to the
height of the front teeth, it is one year old.
The two year old colt has the keruel (the
substance in the middle of the tooth's crown)
ground out in all the front teeth. In the third
year the middle front teeth are being shifted,
and when three years old these are substituted
by the horse teeth. The next four teeth
are shifted in the fourth year, aud the corner
teeth in the fifth. At six years the kernel is
worn out of the lower middle front teeth, and
the bridle teeth have now attained to their
full growth. At seven years a hook has been
formed in the corner teeth of the upper jaw,
the kernel of the next to the middle woru out,
and the bridle teeth begin to wear on. At
eight years, the kernel is worn out of the lower
front teeth, and begins to decrease in the
middle upper front. Iu the ninth year the
kernel has wholly disappeared from the upper
middle froBt teeth ; the hook on the corner
has increased in size, and the bridle teeth
lose their points. In the tenth year, the ker"
-? ...? J
del is worn out ot tne teetn next to tne middle
front of the upper jaw, and in the eleventh
year the kernel has entirely vanished from
the corner teeth of the same jaw. At twelve
years old, the crown of all the fron? teeth in
the lower jaw has become triangular, and the
bridle teeth are much worn down. As the
horse advances in age the gums shrink away
from the teeth, which, consequently, assume
a long, narrow appearance, and the kernels
become darkish poiuts. Gray increases in
the forehead and over the eyes, and the chin
assumes the form of an angle.
Keeping Sweet Potatoes.?I believe I
promised to give you ray plan of keeping potatoes,
which is the cheapest, I think, and certainly
the safest I've ever seen tried.
I build a pen of logs, any desired length,
aud five feet wide, (this lessens the risk of
bulking,) four to six feet high, hew it down
evenly on the inside, so that the walls may be
ceiled or daubed with a good roof; and have
a small door in the end. When this is done,
raise the bottom with stones, five or six inches
high ; cover these with dry sand to keep
them from cutting the potatoes, which may
now be put in, beginning in the middle.
Three or four inches of dry sand must be
placed between them and the wall. I sometimes
have a plank for this purpose, raising it
up as the potatoes are put in, keeping the
space between the plank and wall well Glled
in with the sand, which will run down
through the potatoes, as the plank is raised.
Let them remain so until freezing weather,
when you can readily cover entirely with dry
.sand, deep enough to keep them from being
chilled. Some attention may be necessary
for a while, as the sand will continue to disperse
itself, among them, and leave the top
naked. There should be be no leaks in the
mof. There is but little waste in the sand.!
when once procured. Like the house it is always
ready, and at the spot. The philosophy
of the plan is the uniform temperature it ensures,
while it absorbs and carries off the ercessive
moisture that may be in the potato.
I have tried this plan satisfactorily for 20
years. It was suggested to my mind by seeing
hogs rooting up potatoes in the spring.?
Southern Cultivator.
A Side Light.?Never face the light when
at work, but contrive to have a side light,
which will not shine directly in the eyes. In
the schools in Germany this matter has already
been attended to, and the rule adopted
is to have all the seats and tables so arranged
that the pupil never faces the windows, but
only has the side lights from the left; and, as
a light simultaneously thrown from two sides
gives an inference of shadows, it has been
strictly forbidden to build school-rooms with
windows on both sides, such illumination
having also Droved injurious to the eves of
the pupils. We may add to this advice not
to place the lamp in front of you when at
work in the evening, but a little on one side ;
use a shade?a green one is best, as it softens
the light?which illuminates only the work
upon which it falls.
Sure Cure for a Felon.?Wind a small
string around the finger (or other member)
above the felon, so that the latter will be beI
tween the string and the extremity of the
| finger. This will prevent the blood from rej
turning through the veins which are near the
j surface. As soon as the veios are distended
! (say after a minute or more) remove the
! string, and suddenly permit free circulation.
! After a few moments repeat the whole pro'
cess, and continue to do so until there is en!
tire relief?say from twenty to sixty minutes,
i The remedy?for a time?is as bad as the
'disease; but it will effect a cure.

THE PASSOYER.
The most important of all the Jewish festivals,
was the Passover. It was instituted
by God and by him given to the children of
Israel on the eve of their departure out of
the land of Egypt. The history of this festival
will be found minutely related in the
twelfth chapter of Exodus. The design for
which God gave it to bis ancient people, was
to afford them an easy and appropriate mode
of commemorating the wonderful deliverance
which was wrought iu their behalf, in that
they were suddenly freed from a long and
sore bondage. It was observed iu the month
Abib, which corresponds to our April.
The materials which composed the feast,
were a male lamb, without blemish, of the
first year?either a sheep or a goat; unleavened
hread and bitter herbs. The manner in
which the feast was to be prepared, and also
the manner in which it was to be eaten, is
minutely described. On the tenth day of the
month, the lamb was to be selected. It was
to kept be up until the fourteenth day of the
month, and on the evening of the latter day
it was to be killed. The passover was to be
eaten, by those celebrating it, standing, with
their shoes on their feet, their staves in their
hands, and their loins girded. The festival
continued for seven days. The firet and the
last were, however, the great days. On these
days there wa3 to be a holy convocation.
Exodus xii: 16.
The passover was typical in its nature and
design. The lamb without blemish typi6ed
Christ, who is called "the Lamb of God which
taketh away the sin of the world." In a number
of other particulars, the passover was
typical of the person and work of Christ. The
last passover feast that was observed with
divine approbation, was the one which took
place immediately before the apprehension
and subsequent cruci6xion of Jesus
Christ.
It is evident from the account given by
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, that the
mode of observing this feast had been, in many
minor points, changed sinne its first institution.
We say minor points, for the reason
that they seem to have been matters of indifference,
since the Saviour did not censure
these innovations, if we may bo call them. At
some period, the Jews had introduced the use
of wine at the celebration of the passover.
They had also introduced a kind of sauce,
made of raisins, dates and several other things.
This was the "sop" which Jesus dipped for
Judas. John xiii: 26.
A close and accurate study of the mode observed
by the Jews, at the time of our Saviour,
in celebrating the passover, will enable us
more fully to understand the account which
we have of the last supper. It was at this
last passover feast, that Jesus Christ instituted
the Lord's supper. The passover was, to
the Jew, a memorial of deliverance from
Egyptian bondage, and a type of the Messiah
who would, by offering himself up, free
his people from spiritual thraldom. The
Lord's supper is a new testament ordinance,
in which Christ's death is remembered.
At the time of our Saviour, the guests, instead
of standing whilst eating the Passover,
' J TK5a 1 a ftnlrlonf (Vnm

John xiii: 23, where it is said, "John was leaning
on Jesus' bosom." The couches were
placed around the table, and the guests reclined
or leaned over each on his left arm.
When one or more families united together in
observing the Passover, one of the number
was chosen as master. The guests being arranged
on couches around the table, a cap of
wine was mingled with water, and the master
gave thanks and the wine was drank. This
done, they washed their bands. To this custom,
possibly, the psalmist refers in the sixth
verse of the twenty-sixth Psalm : "I will
wash mine hands in innocency. So will I
.nnmrtaao tlil'na olfftr O Tj(?rd." A ftftr WRsh
V/Uiupooo KUIUU w ) ??
ing their hands, the paschal lamb?roasted
whole?the bitter herbs, two cakes of unleavened
bread, the sauce made of dates and raisins,
and whatever of the peace offering of
the previous day remained, were placed on
the table. The master now took some of the
bitter herbs, and having given thanks to God
for creating the fruits of the ground, he and
all the guests eat of the bitter herbs.
Everything was now removed from the
table, and the master instructed the enquiring
children with respect to the nature of the
feast. See Exodus xii: 26, 27. Deuteronomy
tweuty-sixth, from the fifth to twelfth
verse, was quoted and commented upon. It
was at tHis point of the ceremony that our
Saviour pronounced those sublime words of
comfort and instruction contained in the four
teenth, fifteenth and siztenth chapters of the
gospel according to John. Whilst the ezplanation
was going on, the supper was replaced
upon the table. Another cup of wine was
now drank, aud the little hallel, consisting of
the huudred and thirteenth and the hundred
and fourteenth Psalms, were repeated. A
prayer was then offered up. The guests again
washed their hands, and after offering up an
ejaculatory prayer, the master proceeded to
bless and break the unleavened bread and
distribute it among the company. Half a
cake was reserved and covered up with a napkin.
The guests eat the half cake, which
was called the last morsel, with bitter herbs,
dipping the bread in sauce or "sop" as it is
translated in our English New Testament.
This was the time that John asked Jesus who
would betray him, and he answered, "He it is
to whom I shall give a sop when I have
* T x ? i-- J;?;_i i
dipped It. It was wnusc tne iweive uiacipjes
were eating this aphicomen, or last morsel,
that our Saviour said "this is my body which
is given for you. This do in remembrance of
9t
me.
The flesh which remained over of the peace
offering, was next eaten, and then the paschal
lamb. Thanks were again returned to God,
and theguests washed their hands. A third
cup of wine was now drank by the guests.
This was called the cup of blessing. To this
Paul refers in 1 Corinthians, 10 :16. It was
when Christ handed this third cup of wine to
UIrt *iita1 ?*a /Iio/iirvlAa f U a fr V? a QdM "T^rinlf VP
1113 HYCITC UIOUipiCO, tliao IIV uuiv* ^. u? j v
all of it; for this is my blood of the New Testament,
which is shed for raany'for the remission
of sins."
A fourth cup of wine was filled. This was
called the cup of the hallel. The ceremony
closed by singing or reciting the great hallel,
which consisted of Psalms, 115, 116, 117 and
118. Hence it is said that when Jesus Christ
&nd his twelve disciples had sung a hymn,
they departed to the Mount of Olives.
It is probable that Judas Iscariot eat the
bread which symbolized the body of Christ
broken for sin, but before the wine, (which
was emblematical of the Saviour's blood) was
distributed, he left to complete the scheme
which he had previously devised with the chief
priests.
The passover ceremony was long, and the
one in which our Saviour officiated as
master was unusually so. During the service,
besides the instruction contained in the
fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth chapters
of John, our Saviour offered up his intercessory
prayer which is contained in the seventeenth
chapter of John. The paschal lamb
was killed usually about the ninth hour?the
hour that Jesus died. The guests assembled
about sun set. We may well suppose that it
was late at night before the Saviour and bis few
disciples went to the Mount of Olives. It is
worthy of note that the passover was instituted
before the deliverance of which it was designed
to be a memorial was effected. So it
was with the Lord's supper. It was instituted
before Christ died.
