The World on an "Average."?"What
I was gwine to remark," said Brother Gardner,
as the back end of Paradise Hall grew
quiet, "was to say to you dat de pusson who
expects to enjoy dis life must make up his
mind to strike de world on de gineral average.
He who neglects to do so will meet daily sorrows
and disappointments. Doan' expect dat de
man who happens to agree wid you on de
weather is saritin to agree wid you on politics.
It doan' foller dat de man who agrees wid you
on politicks will feel bound to accept your
kind of religion. De fack dat you lend a
nay bur your shovel doan' bind him to lend
you his wheelbarrer. He who looks for honesty
whar he finds gray hairs will be as sadly
disappointed as he who argues dat an old coat

in human natur', an yet be ebber ready to
doubt. I expect to meet so many mean men
in de course of a year. I expect de summer
will be hot and de winter cold. I expect to
have chilblains in December an' shakes of de

fine talk; reject no man for his old clothes ;
stand him out in de sunlight and average
him. You will be sartin to find suthin bad
about him, but you will be sartin to find sunthin

How was it, Anyhow ??One summer, in
the years agone, while a camp-meeting was
in progress in Eaton county, Michigan, there
arrived on the ground a bully named Miller,
who had made a vow to lick Elder Johnson
and break up the whole business. The Elder
heard the pews with calm composure, and as
soon as at liberty he hunted up a worldly
friend of his own, and asked :
"Friend Smith, didn't you use to fight in
your younger days ?"
"Ab 1 Elder, I have had many a turn with
the boys."
"And what is the effect of a sudden blow
between the eyes ?"
"It astonishes and humbles."
"Is there any danger of killing a man by
such a blow ?"
"Never knew a case of it."
The Elder went his way with a serene smile
on his face. Miller had his coat off and was
hunting for him, and they met face to face
as they turned a wagon. Miller started to
crack his heels and crow, but he never finished.
The Elder took him one square blow between
the lookers without stopping the pace,
and it took twelve rowdies, three dippers of
water and two quarts of whisky to revive the
patient ana get mm on me grounas. uue
day, a year afterward, he met the Elder, and
seriously asked:
"Elder, some of the boys say I was kicked
by a horse, and others stick to it that I was
struck by lightning; but I've always had a
suspicion that you hit me with a provision
stand. How was it, anyhow ?"
A Child's Notion About Thunder.?It
is seldom that any but distant rumbles of
thunder are heard here in this part of Nevada.
The sharp, rattliug peals that reut the air
yesterday were, therefore, something new and
astonishing to most of the youngsters of the
city. While some rushed to their homes with
eyes distended and hair flying, others darted
forth into the open air and begun gazing
about to see what had "busted." One bright
little fellow who was standing on a porch
watching the descending hail as it rattled
upon the ground, when the first heavy crash
came, pushed indoors, crying : "Oh ma, ma!
Who's a-shooting ?"
"God, my dear," quietly said the mother.
"What did He do it for ?"
"Well, I presume to show us that He is
abroad in the storm?that He is everywhere."
"Well?well," with eyes fairly popping
from his head, "I'll bet?I'll bet "
"What, my dear ?"
"I'll bet He busted His gun that time !"?

Just a Common Liar.?"Old B." says that
some years ago in a Carolina town a crazy man
was brought before an examining board to settle
the question as to whether or not he should
be sent to the asylum in Columbia. After the
doctor got through with his examination one
of the committee, an old farmer, said :
"My friend, did you ever borrow any bags
or jugs ?"
"Yes, lots of them."
"Did you ever borrow your neighbor's newspaper
?"
"Yes, many a time."
"Well, now, what became of the jugs, bags
and newspapers V"
"Why I carried them all back."
The old farmer gave a blow almost as loud
as "Nancy Hart's" whistle, and said :
"Gentlemen, he's no lunatic ! Just simply a
common liar, and all the asylums in the world
won't cure a man of lying."?Hartwell Ga.,

Stir the Others Up.?"Excellent sermon
this morning," said Deacon Good Will to his
neighbor, as they lingered in the vestibule to
shake hands with the brethren.
"Well, purty good ; purty good. Ain't
quite up to old Parson Slocura. He used to
give it to 'em straight. He preached agin
wickedness in the land."
"To be sure, but this man preaches right to
us, personally."
"That's jest the trouble. I go to church to
hear other folks pitched into. I don't want
to be rankled up myself." Just then the minister
came along, and with a dubious shake of
the head he cut short his remarks.

THE STOCK LAW-SOILING CATTLE.
One of the best evidences we have of the
progressive spirit of the farming and planting
people of the Southern States, is shown in the
onward march of the stock-law. County after
county has adopted it and others will follow
this summer. The question then as to the
most economical method of ke.eping stock
under the changed condition of tilings involved
in the adoption of the stock law, is just now
an important one. Of course this will depend
very much upon the circumstances surrounding
each individual. Some may have
ample natural or prepared pasturage for their
stock. Those who have the pasturage and
can afford to use their lands in that way, live
nothing to do except to fence in a sufficient
area to support the amount of stock thev
propose to keep, and provide food for winter.
In either case, whether the stock are soiled
or pastured, ensilage is the cheapest means
of supplying winter forage. If the soiling
plan is adopted it is important to provide a
succession of crops to be cut and fed through
the entire season. For winter and early
spring nothing equals barley and rye. Tli's
may be followed by lucerne, which is ready for
cutting in April and again every month 01
two, according to the character of the season
as to a supply of moisture. This is a forage
plant which is not properly appreciated in the
South. It affords early, continuous, late and
abundant cuttings of stock food unsurpassed
in nutritive properties. It should be sown
in drills, fifteen inches apart in September on
well manured and thoroughly prepared land.
In favorable seasons it may be cut as often as
six times between April and November. Next
to lucerne, the oat crop may be used in a green
state, to l>e followed by clover and grasses,
corn forage, the millets, comfrey, etc. No one
who has not tried soiling has any idea how
small an aera of fertile soil is required to
furnish an animal an abundant supply of
green food throughout the year, if it is kept
constantly occupied, following each crop
promptly with another. Those living in counties
in which the the stock law has been
adopted, should try this system.
Cattle really do better, if kept in a comfortably
shaded lot or any airy shed and soilfed,
than if allowed to run out on such pastures
as are generally accessible 011 the commons.
Besides this, the owner, has choice of
the parentage of the calves?a matter of no
small consideration?when it is remembered
that a half Jersey heifer calf is worth from
ten to twenty times as much as a scrub. We
know farmers are naturally averse to adopting
new systems, but as their surrounding
circumstances change, they must adapt their
practice to them.?Southern World.
The Increased Acreage in Grain.?
The increased acreage devoted to wheat and
oats, estimated from reports made by the reliable
corps of correspondents of the Department,
who are farmers themselves, must be
gratifying to all the people of the State. It
indicates future progress and prosi>erity ; it
means that our people have determined to be
producers as well as consumers ; it means that
they intend to live at home and not depend on
other sections to supply them with the necessaries
of life ; it means that we are to be a free
people, and release ourselves from the thraldom
of debt; it means that we will show at
least our high appreciation of the great blessings
nature has conferred uj>ori us ; it means,
the speedy development of our unlimited resources?and
it means future prosperity une
qualed by the past.
If the unfavorable seasons of last year
taught our people the futility of the exclusive
culture of cotton, what was thought to be almost
disastrous to the agricultural interests of
the State will not be an unmixed evil. Blesssngs
sometimes come in disguise, and if the
increased attention to home products has been
Caused by the losses of last year, it may be so
in this case. There is no reason why we
should not produce all the breadstuffs we consume,
and there are many reasons why we
should.
In addition to the increased amount of wheat
and oats raised at home this year, the straw
will be of considerable value if properly
housed. But the great advantage to be derived
from a larger production is, that the
money that has heretofore gone abroad will
remain in the State, to enrich our own people.
Whenever we shall produce all the necessaries
of life, as we can do, we may be assured that
our financial redemption is at hand?and we
note with sincere pride and satisfaction that

Less Cotton* but More Food.?The Cincinnati
Enquirer of recent date, in an article
showing the condition of the crops has this to
report: "The falling off in the acreage of this
season's cotton crop may fairly be regarded as
a surprise. As reported by Bradstrcet'a Journal
on Saturday, the decrease compared with
1881, is 0 per cent. Yet we are told that this
falling off of some 070,000 acres is not due to
the heavy overflows from the Mississippi and
its tributaries last spring, as other reports
from that region had previously intimated.
"In the report published on Saturday, it
was shown that the decrease in cotton acreage
was heaviest in Georgia, being 232,853 acres.
In Alabama the falling off was large also, 181,897
acres; and in Mississippi, the loss in cotton
acreage was given at 102,387 acres. These
States, then, are credited with the heaviest
losses. Florida and Virginia are said to have
the same acreage this as last year, and in Missouri
the loss is of little moment. In the other
cotton States the decreases vary from 53,000
to 70,000 acres. There can be but one explanation
to this conspicuous contraction of the
cotton area, and that may be briefly expressed
as the necessity for "hog and hominy." The
acreage to wheat, corn and oats, has very
largely increased in the South this year, and
the indications are that the fanners are more
than ever determined to raise diversified crops.
This is the most welcome intelligence from
that region received since the development of
an "industrial South." If steadily pursued,
it must root out the oernicious svstem of
mortgaging crops, generally all one crop. This
will emancipate the Southern farmer financially."
The wisdom of this new departure will be
more apparent next winter, in both making
and saving money for the South. The outlook
for a large yield of corn in the west is not
promising.
? ? ?
Firming the Soil.?Mr. Peter Henderson,
one of the best authorities on matters of practical
agriculture and horticulture, has the following
to say c eerning the importance of
"firming" the soil about trees and plants, and
of the method generally adopted by the inexperienced
:
"The firming of the soil is even of more
importance in the case of plants than of seeds,
as their rootlets are more sensitive to the influence
of a dry, hot atmosphere.- The practical
nurseryman generally understands this,
but the inexperienced amateur seldom does,
and when he receives.his package of trees or
plants from the nurseryman handles them as
if they were glass ; every broken twig or root
calls forth a complaint, and he proceeds to
plant them, gingerly straightening out each
root and sifting the soil around them, but he
would no more stamp down that soil than he
would stamp on his mother's grave. So the
plant, in nine cases out of ten, is left loose
and waggling ; the air penetrates through the
soil to its roots, the winds shake it, it shrivels
up and falls to the ground, and then come the
anathemas on the head of the unfortunate
nurseryman, who is charged with selling him
dead trees or plants."
As all kinds of stock thrive better by
having a variety of feed, our reader should
not forget that any time within a month yet
will answer for sowing millet, which on rich,
clean ground in good tilth will produce anywhere
from two to five tons per acre, that
will serve the purpose of both hay and grain
for entile linrsps and sheen, vonny or old.
that they greatly relish. One of the largest
sorts, sometimes called "Golden," and sometimes
"German" millet (not Hungarian) is
probably best to yield either fodder or seed;
but unless an abundance of seed is used the
stalks will grow so coarse that nothing will
eat them. If from three to four i>eeks per
acre is evenly sown, the growth will be so fine
that all will eat them. \Ve have never known
of a case where loo muck seed was used, but
the mistake of using too little is very common.?

THE ATONEMENT.
t0 Jesus Christ came into the world to save
e. sinners. All the names given him imply this,
m lie is called our redeemer, and as redeemer he
ie executes the office of a prophet, and of a priest,
33 and of a king. As a prophet, he instructs his
people by his word and spirit; as a king, he
;1j rules over his people, subduing all his own enig
emies and all the enemies of his people. It
s, was as a priest that Jesus Christ made an
se atonement for the sins of his people. The
se principal functions of the priesthood of Christ
0_ are the satisfaction he rendered to the law and
justice of God's law, and his continual interer
cession in behalf of his people. The atoneis
ment was made here upon earth ; the interces- j
L" sion is made in heaven. The atonement was j
j complete in all its parts, and finished in every
tJ_ respect, when, eighteen hundred years ago, he
g. died upon the cross. The work of intercesle
sinn is still going 011, and will continue until

?r on God's "right hand, where there are pleasures
forever more." By atonement is meant
Pr that satisfaction which Jesus Christ Hindered
to the law of God in the stead of his people,
y, thus restoring peace between God and man.
It is manifest that no mere creature could
^ reinstate man in God's favor. The individual
iy who would undertake the work of making an
t>j atonement must, of necessity, receive the ap,v
pointment from God ; lie must be jiossessed of
or our nature ; he must be without sin, and yet
under the law.
The Scriptures teach us that God sent his
{e son into the world, that he was made of a woman,
that he was separate from sin, and that
is he was under the law. Jesus Christ, then, acslf
cording to the testimony of the Sciiptures,
kh possessed all the necessary prerequisites in orJj?
der to undertake the work of redemption.
Ij^ The question may be asked, What did Christ
be do in order to save sinners ? To this it may
? be replied, He obeyed the law.
One, and a very important relation, which
y* Christ sustained to his people was that of a
1(1 surety. A surety is one who stands for or in
id the stead of another. As a surety Christ was
rs made under the law as demanding obedience
and threatening death. The law was broken
*e by Adam, but this did not release Adam from
? the obligation to obey the law. All Adam's
t- i>osterity became involved in the results of his
th transgression. As a surety, Christ obeyed the
re preceptive part of the law, and" satisfied its
il" nenal demands. He was obedient unto death.
Christ was more than a surety, he was a subed
stitute. The law of God demanded blood,
e- Man, by his sin, exposed himself to God's
as wrath and curse. For sin, and in the room of
Bn the sinner, Jesus Christ died, the just for the
? unjust.
ut There are some persons who hold that sin
id cau be pardoned and the sinner saved without
th an atonement. If this be true^ we may safely
le, conclude that no atonement was made. God
never does unnecessary things.
^ The necessity of an atonement is involved
'a in the purpose of God to save sinners. It is
it true that no absolute necessity compelled God
'St to provide a satisfaction for sin. We may say
re that in the exercise of all the attributes of his
x" holy nature, he might have left Adam in his
,|g sins, as angels who kept not their first estate
ed were left. This he did not do, but purposed
ar to save sinners of Adam's race through a redeemer.
That this purpose to save sinners
re might be carried out, it was necessary that an
atonement be made. This was demanded by
\t the holiness of God. Such is the holiness of
al God that he cannot look upon sin without dises
approbation. To pardon sin or not to punish
sin, which is the same thing, without satisfaction,
would be doing a great violence to the
of holy nature of God. Both the guilt and ]>oli;
lution of sin must lie removed, or God never
ay can save the sinner; The necessity for an
n* atonement arises from the simple fact that
it is the purpose of God to save sinners, and
j,r this purpose must be carried out in strict acil.
cordance with the holiness of God.
lis The justice of God demands that an atoner
a ment be made, in order that the purpose to
^ save may be consummated. .1 ustice is that at^
tribute of God's nature which prompts him to
[ie do right. It is right to punish the wicked and
!' bestow all promised blessings upon the rightJk
eous. Mercy pleads that the sinner be spared,
re but iustice demands that he die. All that
; sovereignty can do is to provide a substitute
j?' for the sinner. God was under no necessity
M1 to provide this substitute, except the necessity
n- arising from the purpose to save sinners. In
at accordance with this purpose to save, the substitute
is furnished, and the claims of justice
are met, and the cry of mercy is heard. But
the goodness of God demands that an atonee
raent be made in order to the salvation of sinis
ners.
rk The object of goodness, as exercised by God,
le is to make his creatures happy. Happiness
and sin are incompatible. There can lie no
l0 misery where there is no sin, and where there
ix is sin there must be misery. To treat all alike,
es irrespective of their acts, would not be an evidence
of goodness. The remains of goodness
P* in man revolts at the idea of placing the obee'
dient and the disobedient oil a level. Were
;i! such a course adopted by men generally, it
x- would effectually remove all incentives to the
ie practice of virtue, and encourage vice and imJy
morality. The goodness of God, as well as
the justice of God, prompts him to do right,
j and right consists in bestowing all promised
5l rewards upon the obedient, and in inflicting
11- all the threatened punishments upon the disost
bedient.
11,
v- Design of the Ministry.?Let it bewrit10
ten in letters of light, that the conversion of
t, the soul of apostate man to God is the chief
le design of the ministry. The preacher of the
ic gospel is not merely a teacher of a sacred science
; lie is instruinentally the converter of
men's souls to God. And it seems to be evee,
rywhere taken for granted, in the Scriptures,
b- that the right means for conversion would be
it followed with the intended result. Hut for the
n- accomplishment of this end?real conversion
ie to God?we need a holy unction from above, a
i- yearning over souls, and a wrestling with God
id in earnest prayer.
11- Let him, then, who is not blessed in the confe
version of souls?who does not hear the quesie
tion, "What shall I do to be saved V" add resale
ed, and often addressed to liirn, by anxious ink,
quirers? say, and sorrowfully say, 4lI am loie
sing the end of my ministry. I am wearing
out my life without fruit that will follow me
a into eternity, and be my crown of rejoicing in
), the day of Christ Jesus."?J. A. Juhics.
o
Turn Your Face to the Light.?It had !
it been one of those days on which everything
i goes contrary, and I had come home tired and
y, discouraged. As I sank into a chair, I groaned,
Id "Everything looks dark, dark !" "Why don't

said my little niece, who was standing unperceived
beside me.
y "Turn your face to the light!" The words i
1- set me to thinking. That was just what I
' - had not been doing. I had persistently kept
6 my face in the opposite direction, refusing to
is see the faintest glimmer of brightness. Art- .
ss less little comforter 1 She did not know what

r. since then, but the simple words have never
ir been forgotten.
ir Give It A Wide Bektii.?Said a river!
n pilot: "I always give the point of that bar a j
ir wide berth. I've struck on it twice." Like ,
Is wisdom would often save God's people from i
ie sin. The places and people, and thoughts j
Is which have caused them to transgress are to be ;
ir avoided. We are not only to pray, "Lead us j
i, not into temptation," but to watch that we j
y "enter not into temptation." The prayer will j
,e do little good if he who prays goes straightway
e into the danger from which he asked deliverance.
