If we have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin, 'Tis better we commence at home, And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he's fairly tried ; Should we not like bis company, We know the world is wide. Some may have faults, and who has not ? The old as well as the young ; Perhaps we may, for aught we know, Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of a better plan, And nnd It works full well; To try my own delects to cure Before of others tell; And though I hope sometimes to be No worse than some I know, My own shortcomings bid me let The faults of others go. Then let us all when we commence To slander friend or foe; Think of the harm one word may do To those we little know. Remember curses, sometimes, like Our chickens, "roost at home;" Don't speak of others' faults until We have none of our own. liumsMus gepartratnt. A NEW SUMMER RESORT. The Detroit Free Press has discovered a new summer resort, and allows the would-be host thus to describe its attractions: He came to this office to see about getting out an illustrated catalogue. He was a nice old man and honest in his convictions. He lives out from the city about eight miles on Jfapoleon Creek, and it suddenly occurred to him the other day that his place was a beautiful Summer resort, and that his facilities for taking a few boarders should be published. "Fust," he began, as he removed his ancient tile, "Napoleon Creek flows right by the door, and there's alius at least a foot of water in it all Summer long. Nicest place in the world for wnmpn lpam in swim eViarba allirrn. tors, or snakes to bother 'era, and they kin splash around in harmless glee." "Any fish in it?" "Yes, sure there be. They are small, to be sure, but all you've got to do is to catch more of 'em in a day. Napoleon Creek can't be beat, sir, for an attraction, and it furnishes the best kind of water for washiug clothes. We save six bars of soap every week bv using this water." "Well?" "Wall, then there's a hill in the distance? over Squar' Fuller's farm. I tell ye that hill looks lovely to a boarder sitting on the back verandy! It's kinder bold and defiant, and kinder soft and pleadin', and the sight makes a man feel sort o' awed and humbled. The hill's a big thing, sir, and it's going to draw." "Yes." "Then there's the medder and a white school-house beyond. Then, on 'tother side is the big stub that was struck by lightning. Boarders can take home all the splinters they want to, and my boy Dan can tell 'em all about how the pieces flew. This stub is goin' to git 'em, sir?can't help it. It combines romance and the power of lightning together, and boarders will stand around thar with their mouths open and tongues hanging out." "Anything else ?" "Anything else ?" he repeated, in an injured lone. "Well, I should say there waal There's sheep gambling o'er the lea, and they are going to draw; there's cows wading through Napoleon Creek, and that will fetch 'em; there's an old tanning-mill which the childrenkin tarn, and they'll cry to sit up all night; there's a grove with more'n forty birds in it, and boarders kin take the kitchen chairs right out thar'; then I'm going to break two colts this Summer and have a lightning rod put up, and 'tween me'n the old woman we'll, make it a perfect paradise around thar." "And your prices?" "Wall, bein' that this is the fust year, we shan't b'ar down very heavy. I want to git folks in the habit of comin' out there, and kinder advertise her up, and bimeby we kin take sumthin'. Don't forget to say that we have family prayers twice a day. That'll be another big draw, you see. Dan he sings bass, my wife sings a sort of soprano, I sing awlto, and Sophia Jane she accompanies us on the melodeon, and I tell you it's sweet. That'll git 'em hard ; and on extra occasions I kin prevail on the Edson boys to come over , , and help us. One plays the bass-drum and the other a mouth organ, and they can't help but draw. You jest orter hear 'em play 'Baby Mine' once!" "Beautiful, is it ?" "Beautiful! Why, it just melts you right down, and you don't care whether there's flies in the milk or not! - Wall, good-by. Work 'er up strong, and don't forget Napoleon Creek and the women in swimming." He Wanted to "Compromise."?Young Bilkins went to serenade his girl on Twentysecond Street. The amateur orchestra of which he is a member had hardly squelched out the first two bars of "Come where my love lies dreaming," when the second story window went up, and old Boggs, Amelia's father, stuck his head out and remarked : "Is there no way of compromising this thing ?" "What?w?what ?" gasped Bilkins. "I say, can't we make some arrangements to get out of this matter? How does four dollars and an old gas-stove strike you ?" "Why?this?this is a serenade!" exclaimed Bilkins. "Exactly, so I see. Now. suDDose I were to stand the beer and car-fare all round, wouldn't you go out in the suburbs somewhere and work off the rest of it in front of some deaf and dumb asylum or other ?" "Well, I'm blowed !" ejaculated the crushed lover. "I should think you ought to be, hitched to the end of that big trombone. Don't point it this way, for heaven's sake; it might go off." "Come down here and say that a like a mafi!" roared the big drum, who was full of beer and fury. "You bald-headed old pelican, come down 1" "I?I?think we had better?better go, as it were, boys," murmured the mortified Bilkins; and the disgusted band walked sadly off, scornfully ignoring Boggs' parting injunctions to reform ana lead better lives until the thing blew over. A Palpable Hit.?Not long ago, in a country town, a barrister was examining a lady witness who would talk, and who would not let any of the lawyer's quibbles get the better of her. The forensic advocate grew irate at the old lady's loquacity, and, as she stepped down after her badgering, remarked, "You see, your Honor, these old women will talk. They are very troublesome, and will waste the time of the court." His Honor looked up, relieved himself with one of his peculiar sighs, and replied, "Ah, Mr. , there are other old women in this court who waste time, besides that respectable old lady who has just left the witness box." The lawyer collapsed, his honor looked very serious, but every body else enjoyed the luxury of a broad grin, the hit was so direct. Jokes on the College Graduates.? The Louisville Courier-Journal gives the following as a portion of the brilliant answers given by young collegians in recent oral examinations : "Will you name the cheapest and most common metal?" "Coal." "Do all mosquitoes bite?" "No; only the females." "How can you distinguish the females?" "You can tell them when they bite." "What is excusable homicide ?" "When a man kills - himself in self defense." "What is a perennial herb?" "One that grows continually but dies annually." "Will you give us the plural of forget-me-not ?" "Forget us not, J sir." "Mention six animals of the Frigid j Zone ?" "Three polar bears and three seals." j fpswltowfltts fading. JULY CROP RETURNS. ALABAMA AMD MISSISSIPPI. The following is the cotton crop report Alabama, as reported from 47 counties in 83 letters: The weather since June 1st is reported dry and generally favorable in all the counties except two?Cleburne and Fayette, and as compared with last year more favorable in 26 counties, equally the same in 11 and less so in 10. There is no change in acreage. The stands are fair to good, and the plant is forming and blooming well. The present condition of the crop is good, and as compared with last year good to better, with the exception of being a week to ten days later. Mississippi?28 counties, 31 letters: The weather since June 1st has been favorable for the growth of the plant, and as compared with last year more favorable in all the coudties except Monroe. There is no change in acreage. The stands are fair to good, and the plants are forming and blooming well. The present condition of the crop is good, and compares favorably with last year, with the exception of being ten days later. VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA. The Cotton Exchange crop report shows twenty-eight replies from twenty counties in Virginia and North Carolina received. Twelve report the weather in June very dry and cold ; sixteen say favorable ; twentv-four more favorable than last year and four not so favorable; no increase or decrease in lands . planted since last report; stands are generally good and forming well, but rather early for blooms. The condition of the crop is considered good and better than last year. Lice are reported in three counties. LOUI8IANA. The Cotton Exchange crop report for June is compiled from 104 answers received from thirty-eight parishes. The weather during the month has been very dry compared with last year. It has been more favorable to cultivation, enabling planters to get the crop well worked. There has been a slight decrease in acreage since last report on account of the drought and scarcity of labor. Stands are reported good except in bottom lands. Plants, are small but forming and blooming well. Its present condition is good aud clean, and compares with last year favorably. Many complain of lice and locusts, and there is general complaint of drought. Many par isbes reported no rain fall for six or eight weeks. Crops are backward in growth, blooming and forming prematurely about two weeks later than last year. In Mississippi 128 re plies from 33 counties average date June 30th. The character of the weather has been dry and favorable to cultivation, more so than during the same period last year. There has been no material change in acreage. The stands are generally reported good. The plants are blooming and forming well. The condition of the crops is good?on the whole, it is better than last year, but the plant is immature and 10 to 14 days later. A number of complaints have been made of cold nights in the early portion of June impeding the growth of the plant. The weather is complained of as too dry. ARKANSAS. Our report is made up from 69 replies from 27 counties, average date June 30th. The weather during June has been, with few exceptions, very dry, and comparison with same time last year is decidedly more favorable for cultivation of crop,owing to the excessive rains at same time last year. There has beena-alight decrease in the acreage since last report in some localities owing to the excessive drought. Stands are reported good. The plant is small but blooming and forming well. The condition of the crop is clean and free from grass and weeds and more favorable than at this period last year. Rain is very tmuch needed throughout the State, many reporting no rains for from six to eight weeks. The crops is from ten to fourteen days later. 80UTH CAROLINA. 1-1 t , 1 ftrt Charleston Exchange reportea oz replies from 30 counties; of the 33 in South Carolina, the weather is reported too dry and less favorable from 55; more favorable from 17 and 10 about the same without additional planting; stands are generally good ; blooms are just beginning; the forms have been retarded by drought; the plant is healthy and clean while small and two weeks backward, with complaints of hail from one county, the appearance of lice in six counties and insufficient labor in three are reported. ? GEORGIA. The Savannah Cotton Exchange reports for June give the following: Georgia 102 replies from 56 counties. The weather since the first of June has been too dry, with nights too cool, and not as favorable for the plant as last year. There has been little or no change in the area. The condition of the plant is good and clear of grass. It is small, and needing rain, but is blooming and fruiting well, and the stands are good. There is some complaint of injury occurring while cleaning off grass after the wet spell during the first part of May. As compared with last year, the prospect is not so promising for the farmer. Owing to the cool nights the plant has been troubled with lice, and owing to the late season of getting the plant under headway and dry weather, it looks small. From southern Georgia there are several complaints of the caterpillar. FLORIDA. Twenty eight replies from thirteen counties since the 1st of June, state that the weather has been seasonable with the exception of too cool nights, but not so favorable for the development of the cotton plant as last year. The area dovoted to cotton remains the same as last report; the stands are good and the plant blooming and forming well. The present condition of the plant is good, though small, and as compared with last year, backward and not as promising on account of the following various drawbacks: first, too much rain, then lice and now the want of rain. Caterpillars are reported in several counties, but no injury threfrom as yet. In the Sea Island section the prospect of the farmer is more cheering in every respect than last-year, which was bad throughout. The stands are reported in good condition and the plant blooming and forming well. An Anecdote of Jackson.?Long years after the. capture of Stony Point, when Andrew Jackson was President, a visitor at the White House remarked that the postmaster in his town (who "held over") was an enemy to the President?had even been heard to call him "a scoundrel," and urged the removal of the ill-mannered officer. "What sort of a person is he ?" inquired the President The visitor admitted that the postmaster was an aged and an honorable man, and incidentally remarked that he was one of the survivors of the battle of Stony Point. "What!" said the President, rising from his chair, "Was he really with Anthony Wayne at Stony Point?" "Hetertainly was," replied the visitor. "Well, then," said Old Hickory, "by the Eternal! be has a perfect right to call me a scoundrel every day in the week, and to be postmaster during his natural life." For Sore Throat.?One ounce of camphorated oil and five cents' worth of chlorate of potash. Whenever any soreness appears in the throat, put the potash in a tumbler half full of water, and with it gargle the j throat thoroughly ; then give the neck a good rubbing with the camphorated oil at night be- : fore going to bed, and also pin around the throat a strip of woolen flannel. !

SEASONABLE HINTS. After trying for a number of years, almost in vain, to raise good celery on ordinary dry garden soil I finally borrowed the use of a little patch of reclaimed swamp land?deep black muck, well drained but moist, and for the two past seasons have grown on it very fine celery with but little labor. So I shall never again attempt to grow this vegetable on common garden soil without some cheap and easy method of irrigation. WASH FOR GRAPES. It is the belief of observing ones that the seeds or spores of mildew exist during the Winter and Spring on the bark and buds of vines, ready to vegetate anew wheu suitable weather occurs in Summer. As a possible check to this, I aui about to wash most of my vines?before the buds open?with carbolic onon aiiHs T think this will nlan tend to lessen the mischievous work of the steel beetle on the buds.?M. B. B., in the Ohio Farmer. SUPPORT FOR RASPBERRIES. I am also using grape wire as support for raspberry bushes, setting strong stakes in the row of bushes, say twenty feet apart and about three feet high, according to the average growth of the bushes. Fasten the wire by a turn around the end stake, and by a clinch nail bent over it on the top of each stake in the row?the stakes being of uniform height, and cut squarely at top. Two persons can put up such support very rapidly. The canes or bushes need but little tying to the wire, as those which are sloping to the right or left only need to have their tops pushed under the wire so that they will press against it on the side opposite to their natural inclination. Those which are bending in the direction of the line of wire of course need to be tied. REMEDIES FOR THE CABBAGE WORM. ? I have tried most of these, that have been given in the papers, but have found none of them both efficient and easy of application. I have had the best success with hot water, but it requires some care to have the water hot enough to kill the- worms and not hurt the cabbage. I have found one hundred and sixty degrees of the thermometer efficient and safe if rightly applied, through a sprinkling water-pot, and not continued too long, nor so as to have the hot water lodge in the heart of the plant. If it is cooler than one UtittsJ nn/1 olvftr rwonv nP fKo laVDQp UUUUICU emu OIO.VJ will not mind it?as their skin sheds water like a duck's back. I have tried adding to the water a little coal oil, also carbonic acid, salt, etc.,'but none were quite effective owing to the difficulty of wettiug the skins of the pests. Occasionally I have found them moist with dew, so that the powdered hellebore or black pepper dusted over them would stop their mischief. Who has found a satisfactory remedy ? STABLE MANURE THE StAND-BF. The constantly increasing use of commercial or chemical manure in this country is an indication of progress in agriculture ; but it is well to do things with moderation, and to hold fast the old that is proved, while acceptiog and utilizing to our best advantage the good things that are new. Prominent among the old that should not be neglected, is stable manure, not only its use, but also its careful manufacture; we should not merely utilize what we cannot help making, but we should make as much of it as we can profitably. It will, of course, not pay to keep animals solely as machines for working hay, straw and roots over into manure, and then to sell them at a loss; but while the vicissitudes of the local markets may occasionally reduce the price of stock to so low a point as to produce this result, we do not think that any fairminded farmer will contend that as a general thing he cannot sell a well-fatted beeve, or a good heifer, or a sturdy brace of steers that he has raised for more than their cost. If he has fed them poorly and they are lean and scrawny, he may not find buyers; if he has fed them well, somebody will take them at a paying price; and the more liberally they are fed, the better their manure. And when the farmer has this manure he knows just what it is good for, and what he can do with it, if he has had any ordinary amount of experience to guide him in his business; and it is of all manures the least likely to give him the go-by, with the plea that the season was unfavorable for its work. Used properly, as every good farmer knows how to use it, it can never do any harm, notwithstanding some of the foolishness that is | occasionally seen in -the papers about the matter. In an article Which has lately come under our notice we are treated to several assertions as to the bad effect of stable manure on the quality of certain crops for which we believe there is very slight foundation, if any at all; and when there are not assertions as to harm that has been done, there are sug; gestious, supplied by the writer's fertile imagination, of greater harm that may be done. It is asserted that vegetables are more watery, and otherwise of a poorer quality, when manured with stable manure than when chemical manures are used?that pig's dung imparts a flavor of its own to roots and to tobacco; and it is suggested, that the decaying animal matter of this manure may cause disease in animals that feed of grass produced with its aid. Farmers should learn by practice how to make profitable use of chemical fertilizers; but they should not be led by any such wild statements and hints of these to give up stable manure; it is, after all, the staple feeder of the crops as any long-settled country, and in the present condition of things the human population of the world cannot be fed and clothed without its assistance.?N. Y. Tribune. How Short Shall We Cut Grass?? There was true economy in the advice of the farmer who recommended that the lower joint of grass be left in the field for the old brindle cow, rather than be cut and cured for her. He was one of the numerous army of mowers who had learned that there was nothing gained by cutting too close. The testimony with respect to the height from the ground at which it is best to cut grass is conflicting and tends to ccnfuse and oftentimes mislead a novice in the hayfield. Cultivators vary in practice from one-half inch or as close as possible, to four inches. The general tendency is, however, to cut close, and many fine meadows have been seriously injured thereby. Close observation has taught that timothy cannot be cut low, in dry weather especially, without inflicting injury. All attempts at close shaving the sward should be avoided. Many of our most successful farmers cut timothy nearly or quite four inches from the ground. Others in gauging mowing machines for this grass take care to run them so high that it will not be cut below the second joint above the tuber. Close mowing of upland meadows ought to be avoided, as the action of the hot sun and dry weather following the harvest affects th? roots of the grass unfavorably when left without some protection. On the other hand low, wet mowing grounds will bear cutting as close as possible ; these are benefitted by the influences which would dry and burn up an up land meadow. Where the practice is followed of top-dressing immediately after taking off the grass, the mowing may be done low and a smooth surface left to cut over the next time. Generally speaking, grasses cut two inches high will start quicker and thrive better than when shaved close to the ground. The finer i grasses, when the season is not a very dry one, can be cut lower with safety than the coarser sorts.

Learned men have devised every means in their power to explain away the Bible account of the creation of the world and its countless inhabitants. These men have, without intending it, done much, both directly and indirectly, to establish'the truth of the Scriptures. For some time the German theologians have been busily engaged in attempting to explain away the Bible. The English and Scotch preachers are fast becoming Germanized, and even the American divines are, in some sections of the country, badly affected with the moral mania. The spirit of some American theological schools is imbued with German notions, aud the evident tendency is to oring men up, or rather down to that point where they will live by sight and not by faith. The Adam of the Bible is a very different creature from the Adam we find described by these modern theologians. The Adam of the Bible is a man?the first man?the father of the human family. From him descended the countless millions of human beings who people the globe. What the Adam of these modern theologians is, no one can tell. They leave the mind in doubt not only with respect to the nature of Adam, but-also with regard to his existence. In fact, the design of these modern theologians is, apparently at least, to explain away every thing. They go farther than the Sadducees of old. These did not believe in the existence of either angels or spirits, but some modern theologians, believe in the existence of neither spirit nor matter. No sane man will deny that the Bible teaches that there was once a creature on this earth called Adam; that he was the first man; that he lived nine hundred and thirty years. If the Bible account of the creation of Adam is not correct, no one can prove that it is incorrect. If all the human family are not descended from Adam the time has passed to prove the contrary. In whatever aspect we contemplate Adam, lie is an interesting character. His history is one of thrilling interest. Very few facts in his eventful life have been recorded, but those few are of momentous interest. His primeval purity and original suiTOundings, his subsequent fall and degradation, his original happiness and his subsequent misery all are full of interest. There is one feature, however, in Adam's character that is seldom taken into consideration, and still it is the most important feature of his being. Adam was a typical character. In the purposes of God he had a far more important taission to'fulfil tha^U to exist. He was a type of a far greater personage than himself. A type is a person, a thing or an event which represents or foreshadows some other person, thing or event. It is manifest that all the works of God pointed to the redemption of sinners .and to Jesus Christ the Redeemer. Since the fall of man this is easily seen, and we are warranted in concluding from the general tenor of the Scriptures that it never was the purpose of God that any of the human family should enter heaven only through a Redeemer. Such being the case Adam was not only4 the progenitor of the human family, but aiso a type of Jesus Christ, who, in the Scriptures, is called the second Adam. Paul, in the fifth chapter of Romans, expressly declares that Adam was a figure of him that was to come. Rom. 5:14. Adam did not become a type or figure of Christ after the fall ; but, on the contrary, he always was a t^pe of Christ. In other words he was made a type or figure of Christ, Him, who was in the fulness of time, to come for the purpose of saving sinners. This being the case, the fall of Adam was contemplated from the beginning. It was not an event for which I God had made no provision and for which he was unprepared when it did take place. So far from this being the case a Saviour was provided before Adam sinned, and Adam was created a type or figure of that Saviour. We may say that what is usually called the covenant of works was a feature of the covenant of grace, and that really there is 110 covenant of works, or that there is both a covenant of works and of grace, and that, in point of time, the covenant of grace was first. Adam was a figure of Jesus Christ in several particulars: 1st. Adam was the head of his race, and Chist is the head of his spiritual seed: 2nd. Adam was made lord of the lower world. In the eighth Psalm his dominion is stated as extending over the beasts of the field, the' fowls of the air and the fish of the J sea. This dominion Adam lost when he sinned; but his great antitype, Jesus Christ, as mediator, exercises universal dominion over everything. Even the wrath of man is made to praise him and the remainder of wrath is restrained. The mediatorial kingdom of the second Adam, who was typified by the first, has no end. All things are put under his feet. 3rd. Adam was a representative person. The Bible teaches that by Adam's disobedience many were made sinners and the experience of six thousand years fully demonstrates the fact. All men sinned in Adam and fell with him when he eat the forbidden fruit. The Bible teaching on this point is that all men sinned in Adam and fell with him because he was the representative of all men. Whatever Adam forfeited for himself he forfeited for all his race, and whatever liabilities he incurred were incurred for his posterity. He became a sinner and all his posterity are conceived in sin and brought forth in injquity. Jesus Christ was a public person. He represented others. He obeyed as a public j>erson, lived and died as a public person, rose from the dead as a public person, and as the representative of his people is their advocate with the Father. In fact the strength of the work of Christ is the fact that it was foi> others and not for himself. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth 011 him should not perish but have everlasting life." God gave his only begotten son for the world?in the place of the world. The whole work and suffering of Christ was substitutionary?in the room, intheplace?of others. The one great practical truth that ought to be driven over and over again into his own mind by every young man is, that he should not care a button for his likes or dislikes; but should do what ought to be done, in spite of any disagreeableness. The lesson of self denial is far beyond any other in importance. It must be repeated a thousand times over before it is really learned by heart; but oh, how well worth the pains! Happy is he who has learned not to seek for what is pleasant, not to shrink from what is painful, but to go on doing everything that he knows to be good, and kind, and right, in utter disregard of self. How a man might ennoble and invigorate his life if he would work this principle into .the very grain of his mind, and strenuously act upon it?invariably striving not after what would be pleasantest, but what would be best. In fact, it is the very essence of all that is good and great in human life; and not only ! so, but it is the true road to happiness. This doubtless is what our Saviour means when he says that he that hath left house and brethren for his sake shall receive a hundred-fold, even in this life.?Methodist Recorder. "RnuVm in a rpnent lecture on war, de *31/ """'""I * j claretl that the existence or wars in civilized | states was the fault of women. "I must tell you women this," said he, "if the usual course of war, instead of unroofing peasants' houses and ravaging peasants' fields, merely broke china upon your drawingroom tables, no war in civilized countries would last a week." John Ruskin is somewhat erratic in his judgI ments, but in this he is near the truth. It would be difficult to oven-ate the social influence of women. ^ "It may be a small matter to you," says Mr. Gough, "to say the one word to a youth which shall change his course for eternity; but it is everything to him.
