One night some- t how it slipped down, and as the Judge was t restless it worked its way down toward the t foot of the bed. After a bit, while he was t lying awake, his foot touched it; it felt very \ cold ; he was surprised, scared, and jumping 1 from the bed, he said: # r "My gracious, Maria, there's a toad or t something under the covers. I touched it t with my foot." . Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream and was on the floor in an instant. r "Now, don't go hollering and waking up the neighbors," said the judge. "You get a i broom orj something, and we'll fix the thing, ( mighty quick." g "Mrs. Pitman got tho broom and gave it to J the judge with the remark that she felt as though snakes were creeping up and down | her legs and back. ; "Oh, nonsense, Maria! Now turn down the covers slowly while I hold the broom . and bang it. Put a bucket of water along ( side of the bed so that we can shove it in and , drown it. ' Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and gently , removed the covers. The Judge held the ' broom uplifted, and as the black ribbon of the silver watch was revealed, he cracked . away at it three or four times with the broom, . then he pushed the thing off into the bucket. . Then they took the light to investigate the . matter. When the judge saw what it was, he said: : "I might have known ; it is just like you . women to go screeching and fussing about nothing.. It's utterly ruined." ; "It was you that made the fuss not me, "said ( Mrs. Pitman. ; l> You needn't try to put the blame 011 me." ; Then the judge fell in and growled at Maria until he fell asleep.?Farmer and Manufac- , turer. ^ The Use of the Capital I.?When Gen. j Alexandria Ogle served Somerest's "frosty ? aons;pf thunder'' in the Pennsylvania Legisla- J tttwfit fell -to him to write, in behalf of the ^ kk Democratic members, a letter to Gen. Jack- j HL son, then stepping across the Presidential threshold. Such work-of the scribe was a la. bor of love, and in submitting to the caucus what he had written, Gen. Ogle said : 4'Gentlemen and members of the Democratic party, I hold in my hand a letter addressed by GTfen. Alexandria Ogle to Gen. Andrew Jackson, and I have no helit&tiCn in saying that it is a damned able paper." The members gathering round, agreed that the letter was just the thing to make.Old Hickory's heart thump with satisfaction, and all except one, a dapper little Philadelphian, spoke words of praise. Tiiis dandy of the House, fixing his glasses and scanning the page with the critic's smirk, ventured to remark : "Pardon me, General, I do not wish to assume to make a suggestion to so distinguished a gentleman as yourself, but I cannot refrain from saying that it is customary in the East, and I may say in almost all of the civilized countries ct Europe, to write with the capital I, instead of the little 'i' in j , using the personal pronoun in epistolary cor- , respondence." Gen. Ogle drew down his heavy brows, piercing the dandy's marrow with the fierce shaft of scorn that shot from ( his eyes. ] "Sir," he said, beginning with a hiss and i ending with a roar, "When I write to such a I great, such a towerin'_man as Gen. Andrew ( Jackson, Democratic President 01 cue uniteu States, I abase myself, I abase, sir. I use as small an li' as I can put down on paper; but, sir, if I should ever get to such a low pitch as to have to write to such a damned little snipe as you I'd use an 'I,' sir, that would fill two sheets of foolscap, so help me God !"?Philadelphia Times. Breaking a Merchant's Heart.?It was a clothing dealer on the Bowery, and as the slab-sided young man opened the door, he rubbed his hands over each other, and said : "Come in, my frent. I guess you vhas looking for an over-coat. Try on dis one for $7." "Thankee, I've got about $80 in my pocket, and I thought?" "Ah! Mine frent, you vhas come to the right blace. How you like a blue suit for $10?" "I've got about $80 in my pocket, and was looking for? "Take dis gray for $14. You never had such a bargain in all your porn days." "As I was saying, I've got about $80, and I want to buy a pretty fair one." "Here is one all wool for $12; shump right into it." "A pretty fair one with suver-piaiea nan- ] dies," continued the young man. < "I've got 'em I I'm der only dealer in New < York who keeps oafergoats mit silver-Mated < handles." 1 "I don't mean overcoats." "No!? < "I mean coffins ! Let's eee your latest fall < styles." 5 "My frent," whispered the dealer, as he took ' his arm, "I don't keep goffins. Vhen I realize ( dot you liaf $80 in ypur pocket, und I haf no i coffins to sell, I feel dot I might as vhell gif ] oop dis mad struggle for riches. Haf some pity on a broken-hearted man, und take two bed quilts at $3 abiece, and let dot goffin go." ( Wall Street Daily News. I In a Worse Fix.?Old Gen. Stapluke, a ' well known gentleman of Arkansas, approach edthe Supreme Justice the other day, and, saluting the judge in his military way, he I said : "Judge, I am greatly in need of money. . * "My health is very bad and I am unable to ] work. In fact I don't think that I am going 1 to live very long. Now, I want you to lend . me a thousand dollars for a year. I do not , desire to give security, as I want this transaction between two friends." 1 The Judge reflected for a moment and said : 1 "You say, General, you want the money for i a year ? Suppose you were to die before the ; money was refunded, what would become of 1 me ?" "That is not the question, my dear Judge. ] What would become of me is the question. I If I die before the money is repaid I'll be in a f worse fix than you, and you'll have no cause ; for complaint." ; "That's a fact," replied the Judge. "Here's j ?i check for the money."?Texas Siftinys. i 1 Tiie Time for Women to Vote.?"Gem'- ? len," replied Brother Gardner, "it 'pears to < me dat when de men of dis kentry make a 1 failure of de bizness of runnin' it dar will be 1 an opportunity fur de wimen folks to take ? hold.

When the negro r steals a hog from a white man it is an unjusti- c fiable attempt to draw the color line; when a ^ "white man steals a hog from a negro, there is a no donbt that the crime is committed on ac- ^ count of color and previous condition." t a A Husband With Poetical Heels.?A h lady who had married a dancing master was o discussing the subject of matrimony with a s female friend. The latter a spinster in whose t heart the frosts of forty winters had not with- t ered the tender flowers of sentiment, declared s that nothing but a poet for a husband would b satisfy her, and added : "I could never have married as you did." "You forgot there is n poetry of motion," returned the other ; "my p husband writes poetry with his heels." n ?? ?? c "When is yer gwine to Fredericksburg ?" ti asked an Austin darkey who had learned to I read, of one who had not acquired that accomplishment.

Ililgard, late of Mississippi, >ut now of California, contributes a paper to he Atlantic Monthly, in which he assumes hat most prominent among the factors thdt tave contributed toward the extraordinary development and prosperity of agriculture in the Jnited States is, unquestionably, the great lative fertility of soils, as yet unexhausted in he newer States and Territories, which are ' 7 ( hits enabled to pour out upon the East and ipon Europe the accumulated soil treasures of nany ages. That these cannot hold that foriver ; or even for many years to come, is an nexhonorable law of nature ; and the steady liminution of production per acre in the States east of the Mississippi river, resulting n their increasing ability to compete in the 'rowing of cereals with the newer States, has 1 ong given warning that the experience of the Did World is being repeated on the new contilent and that the old and ever-recurring (pies- i ;ion is upon us of maintaining profitable proluctiveness by means of systematic culture md returns to the soil. Whether this question shall be allowed to issume the aspect of the menace that annually confronts the European agriculturist?"No nanure, no crops"?or whether an ounce of ( ntelligent prevention shall forestall the heavy jurdens that will otherwise rest upon the com? ? A? ta f 1?A Hooiir* Ilg geildctlfJUU (lliu HO 1UUIIOU11U0, 10 IIIU loom ;hat must largely be determined by enlightened government action, in the face of the already inveterate bad habits of the vast majorty of American farmers, that are, as usual, promptly adopted by the European immigrant. The ravaging of the virgin soils by heavy cropping, without change, or even the slight- ' ;st attempts at returns, followed by the 'turning out" of the "tired" land, and, too )ften, by the washing away of the surface soil < 'rom the hard plough sole formed by shallow ullage, not uncommonly resulting in the de- ( initive ruin of the land for agricultural pur>oses, is repeated more or less in eyery newlylettled region; Deserted homesteads, and 1 nelancholy old fields scarred with gullies, mar ;he face of the land in the rear of the pioneer 'armer ; and impose upon his steadier succes- ( lor a heavy tax in the way of reclamation, on (oils that, if rationally cultivated, would not lave felt the need of manures for scores of rears. JFor want of the most rudimentary cnowledge of agricultural facts and principles, ;he planters of the South have for three-quar;ers of a century wasted nine crops of cotton tor every one made, by failing to utilize the ;hief products of their fields?cotton seedtor returns to the soil, which needs but little nore to maintain its full productiveness forjver. Such a crying evil as this would hardly lave been allowed to exist so long fn any jountry less averse to the least semblance of paternal government without something more ;han the faint warnings and remonstrance ut;ered from time to time in the periodical press )r in Government documents. The great perfection attained by agricultural implements tor large scale culture, under the hands of A.merican inventive skill, serves but to add to the rapidity with which the process of soil devastation is carried forward into new fields. Land Washing.?In an experience of nghteen years in agricultural matters we lave found nothing to exercise our ingenuity uid perseverance more than trying to control ;he tendency of our rich, loamy soil to wash. 3wing to its peculiarly loose and crumbling ;endency and the prevalence of hard rains, )ur soil is much given to not only a wasting iway of the rich mold, but the formation of aideous and repulsive ditches and gullies. We 3an find parcels of real estate, which- in estimation are lessened one-half in value from this cause. Like most other evils, this can, if taken in time, to a certain extent be controlled. But, unfortunately, procrastination aften proves fatal. For remedies, never plow 3r cultivate in ravines or low places inclining to form a current. Such places should be seeded to red-top grass, which forms a sod on which water makes no impression. If ditches have already formed it will tax your skill to prevent their deepening ; but we have done it in this way: Get long brush of any kind, commence below and work upward, fill the ditch, say two-thirds full, lapping the brush after mannei; of laying shingles ; take coarse manure or similar substances and fill in closely between the brush and bank at the edges, leaving the litch thus hollow or trough-shaped in. the bottom. The water here has something hard to wear upon, and will not cut away the dirt. Stakes should now be driven in every few feet to hold all firmly. Then the edges of the bank may be trimmed and smoothed off; the first rain will then wash in dirt enough to fill the arush and form a bed on which don't fail to sow the red-top seed. If this is done in early spring it will prove a complete success; it will cost some labor, but remember there can oe no excellence and good work without labor, ro make brush-dams by throwing in brush or stones promiscuously or plow loose dirt into jullies is a waste of time often indulged in, md proves that experience is a dear school. With small cullies we use coarse manure that contains hayseed, which forms a sod ; but fou should never fill a gully or ditch entirely cull. Home-Made Fertilizers.?The following formulae for the manufacture of chemical fertilizers are contained in the recent report of the Secretary of the Vermont Board of Agrijulture : "Take 200 pounds of bone meal (dust), the finer the better. Sift, if you can get a fine sieve, so as to save 100 pounds of the finest. Put the coarse part of it into a tub or box, and wet with water until it is moist ; it will take three or four pailfuls ; then slowly add two gallons of sulphuric acid, which weighs at least 14 pounds to the gallon. Stir continuously ; it will foam and boil. Let it stand 12 hours, then add another gallon of acid as before, and while it is hot, so that the lumps break easily, and the other 100 pounds of bone meal. This will then weigh about.350pounds; add to it immediately 1050 pounds of dry loam, woods dirt, muck, or, if these are inconvenient to get, you may add sand, though I like woods dirt or muck best. This, of course, has been previously pulverized and sifted. 1 Should you choose, put all together mix per- , fectly and you will have a ton. It has cost ^ou about ?8, and, as far as my experiments 1 ?o, and others that have tried the same way, ! it is equal to any ton of nitrogenous fertilizer i used. I use about 200 pounds of this to the < acre, and find it as good as any fertilizer I ev- j jr used costing $45 a ton. I find it better than . Done cut with sulphuric acid until it contains 15 per cent, of soluble phosphoric acid, such ' ... It, liic irlrlruccpQ lms ltuf. ilnwn I lO X I Ul?

Not unfrequent- ( y it is hung in the horse stable exposed to the ( immonia generated from a pile of fermenting j nanure. The stable may be furnished at idd spells with bedding or absorbents of some find, but they are not promptly renewed, ? ,nd there is a great waste of the most valua- * ile; constituent or manure, xue narness nas lie benefit of the ammonia, arul the effect is j .bout the same as washing it with lye. The :> larness rots, cracks, and without frequent a iling comes to grief at an early date. The g afe way is to have a place for the harness in t he carriage house, or some building outside he stable. If the stable alone is available, it s hould be kept free from the smell of ammonia i y the constant use of absorbents, sawdust, j ods, road dust, straw, or refuse hay. A liar- 1 ess properly cared for and kept clean and i liable will last twice as long as one that is ! ' eglected. It is much cheaper to spend ten \ ( ents for neat's-foot oil, once in three months, j 5 han fifty cents at the harness maker's.? c Imerican Agriculturist for January. 1 . (, Headache !

CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original. QW3?9f3B??FT3J The scheme of redemption consists of two parts. The first part embraces all that the three persons of the Godhead did for man in arder to reconcile God to man. The second part embraces all that the Supreme Being has lone, is doing and will do in order to reconcile man to God. In what God did for man, man was passive, or did nothing. God devised the remedial scheme. He furnished the Saviour, mid the Saviour alone, met all the requirements of the divine law. The obedience and death of Jesus Christ reconciled God to his chosen people, but his people were still unreconciled to God. This is effected by the operation of the Holy Spirit. In the first part of the remedial scheme, God furnished the Saviour and the Saviour performed the work assigned him. This work consisted in furnishing for those chosen in Christ Jesus before the foundation of the world, a-righteousness by which they conld be justified, and suffering the i>enalties of the violated law in their place. By his obedience, Jesus Christ furnished a perfect righteousness for his people, and by his sufferings, which terminated in his death, he took away the guilt of sin, or the liability to be punished for sin. Both the obedience and suffering of Jesus Christ were vicarious. That is, they were for others. Not simply for the benefit of others, but they were in the room of others. In other words, Jesus Christ obeyed and died as the surety of his people. A moment's reflection will convince any one that none of the human family had anything to do in all that Jesus Christ did in reconciling God to man. Of the countless millions of the human family now on the earth, not one had an existence, save in the determinate purppse of God, when Jesus Christ obeyed, suffered and died. The death of Jesus Christ did not take place for four thousand years after the fall of man. During that period of forty centuries, God the Father, trusted God, the Son, that he would, in the fullness of time, accom- 1 plish the work he had voluntarily undertaken, in#1 fi/wl the. Ssnn trusted God. the Father. tbathe tvould fulfill his proraiy^to lpm. > That those chosen in Christ "Jesus 'may"be made partakers of the redemption which lie purchased, they must be made new creatures. It will not be denied that a great change is produced in some of the human family. All are shapen in iniquity, but some are made new creatures in Christ Jesus. All are, by nature dead in trespasses and sins, but some are quickened into life. This change, the Scriptures designate by a variety of modes of expression. In Deut. 80 :6, and Romans 2 :20, it is described as a circumcision of the heart. In Psalms 51:10, it is called the creation of a clean heart. In Eph. 2:10, it is thus described, "We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus." Jtris called a resurrection in John 5 :25 and Eph. 5:14. In John 3:7 and 1st Peter 1:23, it is called a second birth and being born again. In Titus 3:5, it is described as "the washing of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost." Strictly speaking, in none of the passages referred to, nor in any other passage of the , Scriptures is regeneration defined. It is described, but not defined. It is a spiritual life, and, consequently, cannot be defined. This does not preclude our learning something about its nature. In the application of redemption, regeneration is, in the order of nature and grace, preceded by vocation or calling. The gospel is offered to all, but only those regenerated actually accept of the offer. The reason that the many to. whom the gospel is offered reject it, is because they are dead in trespasses and sins, and the reason that some accept the offer is because they are quickened into life by the Iloly Spirit. Their minds are enlightened, their affections are renewed and their wills subdued, and they are thus made new creatures I in Christ Jesus. ? ,y <, /- j It is evident that the offer of the gospel is j accompanied by something in some cases that it is not in all cases. The offer is to all, and it is made in good faith, but only the few accept it. The natural state of all is the same, and that state is everywhere in the Bible described by the word death. Every one knows that in the natural world death terminates all action. The senses become extinct. There is no more seeing, or hearing, or tasting, or smelling, or feeling. The heart and lungs cease to discharge their runcuons, ana uecay, putrefaction begins its work. The soul, dead in trespasses and sins, is incapableof action. The understanding is darkened, the affections alienated and the will rebellious. These faculties of the soul are, in regeneration, restored by the Holy Spirit. Those who were formerly in darkness are made light in the Lord. Eph. 5:8; "the desire of their souls is to the name of God and to the remembrance of him." Is. 20 :8, and they are made willing in the day of God's power. Fsalms 110:3. Regeneration may be called a restoration. In the fall, man lost the image of God in which he was created. This image the Holy Spirit restores in regeneration. The old man, which is corrupt, is put off and the new man is put on. From the Scriptures we learn that regeneration is absolutely necessny in order to salvation. Xo one who has read, with any care,, the Scriptures, will, for one moment, call this declaration in question. Ye must be born vgain, says our Saviour to Xicodemus. Faith is necessary in order to salvation. Only those who believe can be saved. The soul, dead in trespasses and sins, is no more able to exercise Faith in Jesus Christ, than the body bereft of life is capable of action. Regeneration is absolutely necessary in orler to happiness. The body dead is incapable if receiving any pleasure through the senses, it ceases to be sentient. In the same way, we conclude that the soul dead in trespasses and >ins, is incapable of holding communion with jod. The unregenerate are incapacitated to serve God here and to enjoy him hereafter. Siuce regeneration is a "creation," a "new jirth," a "being born again," its author is , Jod. In the Scriptures it is sometimes asjribed to the Father, sometimes to the Son, ind sometimes to the Holy Spirit. Tiiis will ippear from the following Scriptures : "The Jod and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Jhrist, according to his abundant mercy, hath legotten us again unto a lively hope." 1 Pet. L :3. "The Son quickenetli whom lie will." John 5:21. "It is the Spirit that quickenetli." ioh n 0:03. In the economy of grace, regeneration is the n-nner work of thellolv Spirit. God gave the . >on to redeem, the son was given by his own voluntary consent, to make an atonement for ;in, and the Iloly Spirit is given to quicken i he redeemed into life. The Holy Spirit does not operate upon the iouI directly but mediately through the word ead and preached. This position is positively woven by the following texts of Scripture. 'It pleased God by the foolishness of preach- [ ng to save those that believe." 1 Cor. 1:21. 'The dead shall hear the voice of the Son of f iod, and they that hear shall live." John i :2."). Paul, in Ileb. 4 :12, describes the word J f God as "life-giving and powerful," and the ? 'salmist (Ps. Ill): 50) says, "Thy word hath t [uickened me," and in Ps. 11): 7, he says, "The t aw of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. "1 The immediate result of regeneration is aitli. Or, to state it differently, faith follows egeneration just as action, in the natural vorld follows life. The evidence of regenera- 1 ion is obedience to the offer made in the gos- ( el.
