THE WONDERS OF SCIENCE. It is curious how narrow-minded some men sue, and how little they care about subjects calculated to broaden and benefit their mental faculties. Such a man was half-asleep on a bench at the Union depot, when a very tall stranger, with a linen duster on, sat down beside him and said : "Have you calculated the pressure per square inch which you exert on this bench ?" The sleepy man scowled as he looked up, and then turned away as if he didn't want to hear any more. "Do you know," continued linen duster, "whether it is dead weight or force of gravitation which permits you to rest on this bench ?" "No sir," was the emphatic answer. "What is the attractive power of the earth ? What force is exerted by the law of gravitation on feet the size of yours ? Let us figure a moment." "I don't want to hear you talk!" snapped the other as he sat up. I am waiting for a train!" "So'm I," said linen duster, "and that opens a subject for a new thought. Do you know the weight of air displayed by a train moving at the rate of thirty miles an hour ?" ! "No, sir, nor I don't care! I'm in no mood j for talking!" "Suppose," remarked linen duster, as he squinted his left eye at the sun, "that you are walking at the rate of six miles an hour, do ' you wish to know what pressure the air exerts upon your forward movement? Lend me your pencil and I will figure." "I won't do it ? and I tell you again I don't want to be talked to!" was the fierce reply. "Do you know how long it would take a locomotive to reach the moon, running at the rate of a mile a minute ?" softly asked linen duster. < "See here, I'll knock your head off if yotf don't go away from me!" * "You, sir, weigh about 160 pounds, and have weii-aeveiopea muscles; Dut ao you know how much force is exerted in knocking down a human being, and the force of atmospheric pressure to be overcome before your fist reaches his face ?" "I've stood your sassjust long enough, and now you leave or I'll mop the ground with you !" shouted the narrow minded man as he jumped up and spat on his hands. "Are not the wonders of science interesting to you ?" "No, sir!" "And, don't you care to know that the heat of the sun is 256,000 times? ?" "No, sir! no, sir!" "Or that the moon exercises an influence?" "No sir?go off?I don't care?go away? you're a liar and a fraud!" The man with the linen duster withdrew a few feet to lean against the wall, and the other went back to his narrow-minded and selfish interests. While the latter dozed and thought of nothing better than ham and eggs, the former picked up an old nail and softly figured out the distance traveled by a father's arm in giving his son an old fashioned whaling. A LESSON IN LAW. The average American farmer certainly knows how to look after his harvests, and he has a keen wit that is hard to get over. For example: Some days ago the conductor of a freight train who was out with this train, saw a couple of fine-looking ducks on the river near the track. He had a shot-gun in the caboose car, and stopping the train for a few minutes, he got off and shot both of the birds. He thought this was something to congratulate himself on, and when he reached his home he invited a little party of friends to partake of the fruits of his prowess. A couple of days after this the conductor happened to be stopped at the place where the ducks had been shot. He got out his gun and walked down to the river with the intention of bag ging a couple more, if possible. He had scarcely reached the edge of the river, before a man- who looked like a farmer, approached him and said: "Are you the man who shot those two ducks here day before yesterday ?" "Yes, that was me," said the sportsman, rather proudly. "Well, those ducks belonged to me. They wasn't any of your wild ducks, but tame ones." "Oh, pshaw ! You can't fool me. I guess I know a wild duck from a tame <jne." "Will you pay me for the ducks ?" said the farmer, coolly. "No, sir, I won't. You can't prove the ducks were not wild ones." "All right," and the farmer started olf toward the nearest village. "Where are you going ? What do you intend to do?" asked the conductor. "Well," said the farmer, quietly, as he leaned against a tree, "I am going to a 'squire to make an information against you for killing wild ducks out of season. If you insist that them ducks was wild, it'll cost you $5 a duck. If you come to the conclusion they were tame, it'll only cost you $2.50 a duck. Now what'll you do ?" The conductor stared at his tormentor, scratched his head, said something about ducks generally, and these ducks in particular and then paid the $5. He does not carry a gun in his car any more. What is It??Recently a farmer's horse and wagon were hitched on Congress street, and after the man had gone into the store an individual, who must know something about human curiosity, walked slowly down to the wagon and carefully examined a hind wheel. In ten seconds he was joined by two boys. In a minute there was a crowd of six. The man looked at the wheel from one side and then the other, and the increasing crowd did the same. In three minutes there were twenty people around the wagon. Some looked over into the box and some at the wheels, but no one said anything. The first man mentioned seized the wheel and shook it, and then measured one of the spokes with a pocket rule. When he had finished, the crowd numbered forty. No one could say what had happened or was about to happen, and the mystery was fast becoming intense when a corpulent citizen bore down on the crowd and cried out: "What's the matter here?any one hurt?" "No, sir," was the quiet reply of the man with the pocket rule. "What is it then?" "I was looking at this hind wheel." "What's the matter with the wheel?" asked the fat man, as he seized and shook it. "Nothing." The fat man scowled, clenched his hand, looked up and down, and then slid, and in - thirty seconds no one was left around the wagon but a small boy who was trying to hook an old umbrella. BSF A small boy was hoeing corn in a sterile : field by the roadside when a passer-by stop- ; ped and said: "'Pears to me your corn is -i 11 M ? :J ii i 1 ratner small. "v^enaioiy, saiu me uuy, i "it's dwarf corn." "But it looks yellow," | "Certainly," replied the boy, "we planted the | yaller kind." "But it looks as if you wouldn't 1 get more than half a crop." "Of course not," 11 said the boy, "we planted heron shares." 1feaT A North Carolina man got tired of life, -1 and went out in the stable and hung himself. < with a blind bridle.

At the recent term of the Circuit Court for Spartanburg county, in regard to the lynching of John J. Moore, in that county, for the murder, etc., of Miss Heaten, Judge Pressley, in his charge to the grand jury, is reported by the Spartan as having said? "There is one special matter to which I would call your attention. It has come to me through the Governor's proclamation, and the newspapers, that a man has been taken from your jail and executed. As to his guilt, I know nothing, but whatever his crimes may have been, there was no possible excuse for this unlawful act. The Courts are now in our own hands; not like they were a Few years ago, when juries could be packed and public officers induced to compromise cases or pardon the convicted. There is no danger from these causes now. The term of Court was at hand, when a fair and speedy i i . i i I i ,i . trial mignt nave oeen secured, ana mere was no excuse for the people taking the law in their own hands and executing the prisoner, who was awaiting trial. "Such conduct must be stopped. It is the duty of every good citizen to put this thing down. If allowed, there is danger that any man, falling under the suspicion of his neighbors, may be taken out and dealt with in this lawless manner. No man is safe. Good men may be executed. The only safety is in good government, when the laws are fairly administered. People must rely on the law and the decisions of the court for the redress of all their wrongs. "It is my duty to bring the matter before you, and to charge you with the same. It is a solemn duty you have to perforin. You are the custodiaus of the peace and good order of the county, and it is your duty to inquire into the affair. You have the authority to summon witnesses, and ascertain who violated the law and present them." The grand jury, previous to being discharged for the terra, submitted its report. In relation to the lynching of Moore, the report says: "In reference to the case of Miss Heaten, to which your Honor called the particular attention of the grand jury, we should find it difficult to excuse ourselves if we refused to state that we have been informed and believe that the testimony submitted to the jury of inquest which was held over her body, established the guilt of John J. Moore as the demon in human form who outrageously murdered this young woman while she was defending her virtue. This is the greatest of all possible crimes, and too shocking to be recited in this renort. The moral sentiments --[* of the community have been so outraged that the criminal has been seized and put to death by the indignant citizens of the vicinity in which this atrocious murder was committed. They acted under the sudden impulse that the great end of the law is the administration of simple and exact justice. The question, then, arises, has any injustice been done this offender by such summary punishment? It is an established principle that the murderer deserves Jn die, and hence, in putting him to death, those citizens have done nothing more than a simple act of justice. But it may be said that they have taken the law into their own hands; and for this they should be punished. This is plausible, but it springs, perhaps, from a too contracted view of expediency. That the murderer deserves to be put to death, is the "law of God written on the heart." This is the supreme law; expediency is merely a subordinate rule, and should always give place to the awful dictates of justice. In putting this murderer to death, therefore, those citizens acted in obedience to the dictates of justice, and merely anticipated the sentence of the law of the laud. We have witnessed such manifestations in other parts of our country, and have shuddered with indescribable horror at the exhibition of its terrific power. In one of the most enlightened cities of our Union, have we seen learned men, and intelligent men, burning with the desire to gratify this feeling of vindictive wrath. We have seen them seize their victim, reeking with the blood of his fellow man, and drag him to the stake, nnrl there hnrn him to ashes. The iudere who """"v ~ J 0 decided upon the merits of the burning above referred to, held it to be a case of "justifiable homicide," public opinion, said he, is the source and fountain of all human law; and the act in question was a "clear expression of public opinion." We do not admit, however, that lynch-law under any circumstances ought to be administered ; though we do not deny that there are cases where the criminal escapes from the too great leniency of juries in capital felonies, and this is the overflowing source from which all lynch-law springs. Yet we should struggle to preserve, even to the last resting place of hope, the right of trial by jury, for all look to it for safety and protection." The Spartan says that Judge Pressley, in commenting upon the report, expressed his dissent from the views entertained by the grand jury, and urged the great necessity of stopping all lawlessness and unauthorized executions. The Spartan suggests that the report of the grand jury "is the last thing that will be heard of the Moore case in the Courts."

Our territory extends through i 197 degrees of longitude, or 17 degrees more ! than half way round the globe. The Rocky \ Mountain Presbyterian, in commenting on ! this fact, says: "When the sun is giving, its good-night kiss to our westermost isle, on 1 the confines of Behring's Sea, it is already flooding the fields and forests of Maine with ' ts morning light, and in the eastern part of i ;hat State is more than an hour high.

In its gi ordinances and mode of worship, it is adapt- fc ed to the circumstances and pecuniary condi- lu tion of the poor as well as the rich. The w ODly sacraments are baptism and the Lord's Supper. Both of these ordinances are sim- tli . . .1 /. . m VI pie, ana yet tney are very signincani. iney are not like all the services of pagan wor- 0] ship, mere idle ceremonies. They are de- R signed by the king and head of the church to subserve a particular purpose, and the means are suited to the end contemplated. sa The symbols used in the sacrament of the ^ til Lord's Supper are bread and wine. The ' bread represents the body of Jesus Christ, ol broken for sin, and the wine represents the T blood of Jesus Christ, shed for the remission ^ of sins. The design for which the Lord's ni Supper was instituted, was "to show the !l Lord's death," or for a remembrance of the ^ Lord's death. This is not an inference. It e is the plain and positive declaration of the w Scriptures in a number of places. The church ^ is commanded to perpetuate this sacrament ^ until Jesus Christ shall come again?come at E the last day ; come to take all his people to U1 heaven to be with him at the right hand of t( the Father forever. Wherever in the world bi there is a Christian congregation, there the Lord's Supper is to be observed in remem- g] brance of the death of Jesus Christ. gi Several things are worthy of note concern- ^Jl ing the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. jr One thing is, it was given to the Church by p< Jesus Christ himself. Consequently, it is not 01 a matter of indifference with the Church ^ whether this ordinance be observed or not. 01 The Church must celebrate the Sacrament of e( the Lord's Supper. It is just as binding on ^ the New Testament Church to keep the pass- hi over supper, as it was upon the Old Testa- & rneut Church to keep the passover. What is true of the whole, must be true of all the parts. This being true, we conclude that each si individual member of the New Testament ^ Church must, as opportunity is granted, ob- a] serve the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. e( In other words, to celebrate the Sacrament of ^ the Lord's Supper is a positive command, ad- c. dressed to every member of the Church of n Christ. Every individual who makes a pub- d lie profession of Christ, and lives a life consistent with the precepts of the gospel, is entitled to the great privilege of publicly celebrating the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, m But it is more than a privilege?it is a com- as manded duty. If one member of the Church ^ may, without sin, neglect to celebrate the Sac- w rament, then two may, and then the whole, ni This would make the observance of the ordi- w nance wholly optional, and, consequently, not jj a command of the Saviour. It is doubtful ti whether the Church could be perpetuated ai without the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. ^ If such be the case, then those professed Christians who are habitually absenting them- 0] selves from the communion table, are doing 01 what they can to root out the Church. hi No doubt, some persons of tender con- di sciences neglect to observe the Lord's Supper s' because of their supposed unfitness. It would be wrong to advise any one to disregard the ?{ warnings of conscience ; but it should be re- aj membered that conscience is not always a safe it guide. Conscience is right when its admoni- pi tions are in harmony with the teachings of li< the Scriptures. Otherwise, it is wrong. Those 0( persons whose tender consciences keep them C( aloof from the Lord's Supper, may find en couragement in the character of those to whom onr Lord administered the supper. They p, were those whom, for wise and holy purposes, ir the Lord, at the beginning of his public min- v< istry, had chosen to be eye witnesses of his tl mighty works. They were poor and unlearn- I)( ed, with very indistinct notions of the Mes- j* siah's kingdom, and, withal, weak in faith. They loved the Master and to them was administered the Lord's Supper. It is clear, 0] that it would be an easy matter to require so t( much as to effectually deprive all of the priv- c: ilege of celebrating the Lord's Supper, and g< still not require a great deal. No professed j;l Christian should neglect to go to the table of j' the Lord because he really feels that he is a sinner. All who have professed faith in Je- p sus Christ, and are sorry at heart on account ir of their sins, and are conscious that they love lo the Saviour, should be encouraged to come to fa the Lord's Supper. l.e Others keep themselves out of the Church because they think it an unpardonable sin to * take the Lord's Supper unworthily. They e, found this notion on the language of Paul, in t( the 29th verse of the 11th chapter of the 1st n Corinthians. The following is the language: di "He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself." Whoever will consult the whole passage, will j? find that in the 26th verse, the Apostle states the design of the Lord's Supper is to pro- n, claim the Lord's death. This is to be a per- tc petual ordinance in the church below. The n< death of Jesus Christ was a great victory. In 111 his death, Jesus Christ conquered death, and ^ him that had the power of it. The infer ence, as stated in the 27th verse, is that who- fs ever eats this bread and drinks this wine, un- y( worthily, is guilty of the body and blood of la the Lord. Now, this does not mean that tl these persons are as sinful as if they had ac- l'l tually put to death the Lord of Glory. It simply means that they incur guilt; that is, expose themselves to punishment because they ^ treat with contempt the victory gained by the death of Christ. Since then, blessed results w follow the worthily receiving of the Lord's t;i Supper, and liability to punishment follows a the unworthily receiving of it, he admonishes II us in the 28th verse to examine ourselves be in fore we eat and drink. The 29th verse as- ^ signs the reason for self-examination. If we ^ eat without self-examination, making no dis- tc crimination between the Lord's Supper and cl an ordinary feast, then we eat and drink w damnation to ourselves. a Now, damnation, in this instance, cannot is mean that we cut ourselves off from all hope I11 and seal our everlasting ruin. This is mani- j" fest from the fact that the import of the word w* damnation is fixed in the next verse, by spec- it ifyiug what things it comprehends. They are ai weakness, sickness and death. It is a great fo sin *to eat and drink the emblems of the I l'l broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ unworthily ; but it is not an unpardonable sin. It will, no doubt, relieve the minds of some W( to inform them that the word which is trans- fn lated damnation, more properly means judg- to ment. The judgments which follow unwor- of thily celebrating the Lord's Supper, are stated to be bodily calamities, such as weakness, 111 sickness and sleep, which in this passage most probably means death. None are permitted ^ to treat, with even neglect, the Lord's Supper; ' . . 1 . ? . T l'ti much Jess are any permitted to insult desus i jri Christ by treating unworthily that ordinance ! 0[ which is designed to be a public proclama- ne tion of the victory which he won on the cross, su Still, multitudes have eat and drunk uuwor- m thily and were pardoned. Whoever has 110 ^i< better reason for keeping out of the church j than the fear that by unworthily eating and j j" drinking the bread and wine which represent q, the body and blood of Jesus Christ, he will i cii cut himself off forever from God's pardoning | re mercy, is simply wrongly interpreting the ' ne Scriptures. It is admitted that it is a sin to ' 0,1 eat and drink unworthily, but the Church of ; God has great reason to be thankful that it i ^ is not the sin against the Holy Ghost which j JU will never be forgiven. Were that the case, pe there would be none saved. 1 Q Ibe Jam awd Jittsidc.' SUBSTITUTE FOR CORN. Editor Southern Cultivator:?Having come to ie conclusion that on light sandy lands, (such 11 now own), corn is the dearest stock food e can raise, I have been experimenting for a :ar or two to find substitutes. My first noon was, that lucerne, small grain and the asses for pasture were the thing. I soon iund that it took heavy manuring to make cerne pay. Besides, the early spring months ere not utilized altogether. My reason for eferring lucerne to clover was that it could ? cut so often. I next tried peas, and being vimniiior L-inrl worn lint.

I tried them in hills, esult satisfactory in every way, only the yield > the acre was not enough. About this Jiime conceived the idea that millet, after small rain, would fill up a void. But millet was not itisfactory?it requires rich soil. My next lea was peas after small grain, (on stubble,) id beans before. But beans are unsatisfaetoI have tried sixteen different kinds. None : the snap beans or navy are fit for stock, hey require rich land to yield much. The nglisli bean will not pay. Artichokes, I have nir kinds.

I planted ten acres in speckled peas in pril. Drilled nearly two bushels to the acre, verybody thinks them too thick ; but they re doing well so far. My theory now, biued upon experiments up ) the present is, that it will pay better to roadcast them. Break the land with a turnig plough and harrow them in. More seed, nt more acres. My theory is to cut them like rass. Put in grain the same way.. Now with rain, peas and clover, I can keep busy in the inning season. What more do I want'? I in undecided between rye and oats.

The investment is one undred per cent, less, food the same (as reirds quality), and when they get old, can be inverted into beef, and thus return most of le original investment.

Most parents are prone to prohibit leir children from laughing and talking at le table; it is unphysiological; it is a cruelty, ayousness promotes the circulation of the bod, enlivens it, invigorates it, sends it tingng to the remotest part of the system, carryig with it animation, vigor and life.

Taking Cold.?IIow shall a person who is nsitive to cold, who takes cold whenever a lor is opened or a window raised?how shall ich a person acquire that hardihood which ill enable him to endure exposure and avoid iking cold? In the first place, he should spend considerable portion of each day out of doors. a should do this at all seasons of the year and i all kinds of weather. Secondly, he should atcli with the greatest care the temperature ! the room in which he spends the remainder f his time?both the living room and dormiiry. Thirdly, he should each day bathe his lest and neck, and, if he can bear it, his hole body in cold water, and follow this with vigorous rubbing with a coarse towel. What called the splash-bath is, perhaps, better than ly other for this purpose. It consists simply dashing water against the body with the uid. This causes a slight shock to the skin, hich brings the blood to the surface ; while causes an involuntary, deep inspiration of r, which expands the lungs and increases the rce of the circulation. This can be acconiished in a few minutes, and should be folwed by a little brisk exercise in a cold room in the open air. Of course, a person unacistomed to this should not commence in cold eather; but beginning in the summer, he will id, as the winter approaches, that his ability endure the bath will increase with the falling the thermometer, and that his susceptibility changes of temperature will be greatly diinished. if Whenever convenient, there is decided ; [vantage in mixing cattle and horse manure j ther than using each separately.
