Extra Hazardous.?A certain officer received a report of a policy written, covering, among others, this item: $150 on her wigs, braids, puffs, rolls, curls and other hair for her personal use, etc. The presiding genius of said office exhibited an alarming ignorance of the subject in writing the agent as follows: "This is an uncommon item, and, as we find no blanks for an appropriate survey, you will please speedily answer the following interrrogation : What is the color of her hair ? and, if red, decline. Is assured married or single ? If not single, is her husband quick tempered? Does she "fire up" quickly herself ? If single, has she beaux, and do they smoke ?" Does she use a spark arrester ?

Couldn't Really Waitfok the Hanging.?"What's all this crowd around for V" asked Mr. Mclver, of Texas, when the captain of the regulators caught up with him. "The've come to see the hanging," said the Captain; "man going to be hanged in a minute ; better wait and see it." "'Fraid won't haVe time," said Mr. Mclver. walking side ways and keeping his hands down. "Got a horse out here in the brush I want to look after ; 'fraid she's got a spavin comin'." "That's it," the Captain said. "Little sorrel mare, with blaze face and two white feet? my mare and you're the man. Guess you had better stay for the hangm'." "Can't" said Mr. Mclver, "I've got to go to the shootin'." So saying he got his hand on his gun, filled a couple of regulators full of holes, and, witli the sardonic laugh of a man who "couldn't stay to the hangin'," he disappeared in the brush to look after that spavin. Amusing Mistakes.?Many an amusing mistake has been made by people hard of hearing. We are told that a certain Dean of Ely was once at dinner, when just as the cloth was removed the subject of discourse happened to be the extraordinary mortality among lawyers, "We have lost," said a gentleman, "not less than seven eminent barristers in as many months." The Dean who was deaf, rose just theu at the conclusion of these remarks, and gave the company grace: "For this and every other mercy make us devoutly thankful." On another occasion, at a millitary dinner in Ireland, the following was on the toast-list: "May the man who has lost one eye in the glorious service of his beloved country never see distress with the other." But the person whose duty it was to read the toast accidentally omitted the important word "distress," which completely changed the sentiment, and caused no end of merriment by the blunder. A Georgia Marriage Ceremony.?"Do you agree to take this woman to be your lawful and wedded wife, to freeze to her through thick and thin henceforth and forever ? Do you agree to cut stove wood, make fires on cold mornings, furnish rations regularly, and be a model husband in every respect V" Such was the ceremony employed by an Atlanta, Ga., justice of the peace, who officiated at a marriage in that city. Inasmuch as the young man answered "Yes," it is not necessary to say that a negative answer would have placed him under bonds more irksome than those of a hymeneal nature. A Narrow Escape.?Neal Dow, the great teiujierance reformer of Maine, had a narrow escai>e the other day. For a whole generat ion he has been regarded as a consistent teetotaler. But a tramp solemnly swore that he and Neal Dow stood at the same counter, and imbibed brandy and water. Tilings looked a little serious for awhile, and the temperance folks in that far off region felt that even the greatest of us will once in a while have a fall. The tramp, however, on the cross-examination explained that he drank the brandy and Neal Dow the water, and the whole State of Maine breathed freely once more. The Professor's Philosophy.?Prof. Zweibeer is a rather dissipated old man, who gives lessons 011 the iiute for a living. Gilliooly who feels a kindly interest in the old man, took him aside and said to him: "Professor, if you were to quit drinking and keep sober, you would be engaged to give lessons in some of the first families in Austin, and make a great deal of money." "Dot ish all hum bug," said the old man, indignantly. "I give lessons so I can get drunk, and now you vants me to keep sober so I can give lessons. Dot is all humbug."?Texas Siftings. Tiie Boy's Riddle.?In a Vermont village a tall and awkward beau called to see his young lady and found her engaged with other company. To set matters right, he gave them a riddle. '"There was two boys playin1 on the sidewalk, and a man asked whether they were relations. The boy replied, "Sir, that thare boy's mother and mine was twin sisters, and yet we haint cousins." The girls guessed at it half an hour and then gave it up. "Is there any solution to it, Mr. Brown V" one of the girls asked. "Oh, yes," he replied, "its easy explained. That boy lied." A Man With a Retentive Memory.? "Talk about memory said an Arkansaw man, I've got the most retentive memory of any man in the country. I can remember things that occurred when I was a child." "I don't think your memory is so very good,"said an acquaintance. "You borrowed $10 from me some time ago and you have forgotten the circumstance." "No, sir, you are wrong. You have doubtless noticed that I keep out of your way. Well that's on account of my memory." Making it Unhealthy for a Husband. Mrs. Samuelson, an Austin lady, did not know that Mrs. Flapjack was a widow, so when the latter spoke of her late husband the former remarked : "My old man came home late once when we were first married, but he never risked it a second time. You should make it unhealthy for your late husband to stay out late at nights, and then you would have him just where you could put your hands on him after dark." A Greatly Relieved Woman.?A South End woman received a telegram, and her face blanched and her band trembled as she held the unopened envelope before her. Giving it to her daughter, she said : "Head it." The girl obeyed. "Papa has broken his leg and gone to the hospital," she said. The mother's face brightened, "Thank heaven it is no worse," she said ; "I feared he might be going to bring somebody to dinner."?Boston Post. - * Miserable Married Men and Bachelors.?The statistical fiend has calculated that 07 per cent, of marriages are unhappy.

She has a pet poodle by the name of Fido. Yesterday, Mrs. Schihsky's little boy, Bob, asked his mother : "Shall I give Fido this piece of sugar he is "begging for ?" "No, my child, it might spoil his teeth. Fat it yourself, Bobby."

When the farm annually yields to its full capacity there is extracted from the soil those elements that principally constitute its riches or fertility, and unless the soil is fed with matter containing those elements *of fertility it will in the course of time fail to repay for the labor and capital required in its ,cultivation. Most farmers are aware of that fact and use barnyard manure and commercial fertilizers in order to supply the deficiency. We have within our power, however, the means by ; which the soil can be recuperated and restored to fertility, and every prudent farmer takes advantage of such opportunities in order to bring his farm to the highest degree of productiveness. The practice of a rotation of crops is essential to good farming, and it is by such system that the most fertile sections have been kept to their standard condition. How rotation accomplishes so desirable a result is not a hard matter to solve, for plants, like animals, differ in their methods of growth and feeding capacities. When a field is occupied by clover, the crop, when plowed under or fed to stock on the farm- and again returned in the shai>e of manure, adds additional matter to the soil. When fed to animals, only a portion returns, but when the whole crop goes under, the quantity is very large. But, as a crop of clover is something too valuable for the plow, we still have the advantage of knowing that the sod and roots are very enriching. Clover is a lime and potash plant,'requiring but little nitrogen to make its growth; and yet, by shading the soil, and through its power of utilizing the nitrogenous materials of the soil and atmosphere, it returns more nitrogen to the soil than those crops that depend largely on that substance. Nor does it take from the soil a disproportionate quantity of phosphoric acid, which is another advantage in its favor. As clover takes from the soil lime and potash principally, it leaves the ground, when removed, in good condition for some crop that prefers nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Experience has taught farmers that wheat or corn is capable of Idling a place in the rotation, and such system is general on well-cultivated farms, wheat, clover and corn following in successive order. In some sections the practice is a hoed crop, that is, in addition to the use of the cultivator, the hoe is passed once through the cornfield, which more thoroughly eradicates weeds. It calls for more labor on the corn, but saves it on the weeds. The rotation is not, however, complete without a root crop of some kind, and this, joined with the hurdling of sheep, as is done in England, will bring an almost barren field in the course of a few years to a fertile condition. Our system of rotation is too narrow and should take in other crops that are profitable, in order that the elements of plant-food should be distributed ;is evenly as possible when removal by crops. Another advantage in rotation is that all soils contain fertility to a certain degree. Even in the best of soils there are dormant or insoluble substances valuable in composition, and when they are not being appropriated by an occupying crop are gradually being reduced and rendered soluble as plant food for the succeeding crop, and that rotation not only prevents the loss of particular substances in excess but converts the locked-up elements of the soil into free and assimilable matter. In this country no system of rotation is complete without clover; in England it must contain the cultivation of root crops and sheep pasturage. That we may learn a valuable lesson by combining both practices it becomes the duty of ever farmer to make experiments, even if only on small locations. A Dairy Cow.?A dairy cow never reaches perfection in her line until she has arrived at maturity ; and she must reach this period of her life with all her faculties unimpaired if we expect her to be as good a cow as nature intended her to be. She differs in this respect from the best beef-growing animals, which are mature, as it were, from the start, and whose organizations, instead of being impaired for their business by generations of high, early feeding, are rather more and more adapted to it. We all know that the oldest and best family of Short-horns are not remarkable for constitutional vigor and elasticity. They have not very great muscular strength, are not nervous, and powerful in their movements, and are deficient in the procreative facilities. A good dairy cow should possess the appearance of strength and firmness without being too compact, and she should possess no palpably weak point if she is expected to endure well in the work of the dairy. She should not be selected for a breeder unless she possesses as an inheritance that shape which indicates strong vitality and that quality which indicates active secretory functions. In her vv-ull vUitmwl strrm<r IipikI tviilc rnnv/le tnilrl eye, broad forehead, small waxy horn, slender neck, straight and slender foreleg, sharp chine, loose shoulder, broad ribs, open-jointed backbone, mellow skin, preponderating hindquarters, long hind heel and broad fore foot, ample carcass, well shaped udder, large superficial veins, soft hair, she should indicate a capacity for converting food into milk, as distinguished from that cow whose rounder and fuller form and heavier bone and smoother joints and narrow head and heavier quarters show an especial aptitude to take on fat.? Prairie Farmer. Puke Bked Stock.?As a rule pure-bred stock is not the most profitable for farmers to keep. Many who have tried to breed a herd of pure-blood animals have failed. The cost to begin with is large. The writer recently visited a herd of Jersey cattle, some of the cows in which had cost many hundreds of dollars. The product in flesh and milk from these animals is not so much over that of the grade cow as to warrant the prices paid. The management that such close-bred stock requires is much greater than that of grade stock ; that is cross between the nnre blond and native stock. Pure blood animals and herds, like the one above mentioned, are of value as breeding centres, from which the great mass of common stock can be built up. At a low estimate the value of the grade product can be raised $15 or $20 each the first season. It may be that a farmer with a large herd of grades thus produced can '.fford to keep two or three pure-blood animals for further improvement of the herd, but in many cases it will be better to replenish the pure blood from one of the centres of such stock. It is a na- ' tional blessing that "fancy farmers," as they are sometimes called, are pleased to make such large investments in pure-blood stock, for by this means the supply of any breed is kept up. ( It would be a calamity if from any cause these carefully managed herds should all be broken up and scattered. It is through them that the whole live stock of the country is to be ' improved by a gradual process of grading. In i this important work the less fortune-favored stockmen may find a profitable field of labor. The Reason Why.?A writer in the Mich- : igan Fanner closes an article on "The Distri- 1 bution of Seeds," as follows : We often hear it remarked?and the fact passes for a mys- \ tery?that when one kind of timber is cut ( away another variety will spring up. This is . true in a restricted sense. The nut-bearing 1 trees do not spring up so universally as the ^ trees with winged seeds, as the maple, or the pine or others confer. "Cut away beach j timber and maples will grow,"simply because the maple seeds have been scattered there by ' the wind and so with pine. A hickory nut, ' an acorn or a beech nut may be carried some I 1 distance and buried by a squirrel or a wood-j1 mouse and an accidental tree be the result, j i In every instance where a different species of j ( timber has sprung up to replace that cut i. away, it has been the winged-seed species, and i v when this is -remembered, there is no mystery i' about it. In fact there is 110 mystery in any \( of the plantings of nature if we but open our 1 i eyes wide enough. It has been said that what j ( we term weeds are only plants out of place. ! j Some of them will persist in occupying the . places we have devoted to other plants which we can utilise ; that is the trouble and they * attend to their own seeding. ?

To make an atonement for his people and to intercede in their behalf constitutes the two principal functions of the priesthood of Jesus Christ. In their logical order, the atonement is first. The word atonement occurs only once in the authorized version of the New Testament. Rom. 5:11. In this place it means the same thing as the word reconciliation. In the Old Testament Scriptures, the word atonement is of frequent occurrence. As used now by theological writers generally, the word atonement means the satisfaction which Jesus Christ, as a priest, rendered to the demands of God's law. It is made to include "both the preceptive and penal demands of the law. In other words, it denotes all that Jesus Christ did and suffered to satisfy the claims of justice. Hence, it includes both the obedience and death of Jesus Christ. The word is of recent origin among theologians, and, it must be confessed, is liable to some objections. The proper meaning of the word to atone, is to be, or cause to be, at one. Ilence, in strict propriety of speech, the word atonement is too limited to denote the perfect satisfaction which Christ rendered to God's law. It includes only his sacrifice of himself, leaving out the obedience which he rendered to the precepts of the law of God. By the word atonement, however, as already stated, is meant all that Jesus Christ did and suffered to satisfy the claims of God's law, both in its preceptive and penal demands. There are four things which Jesus Christ must possess before he could be capable of rendering satisfaction to God in the room of sinners. (1). His being chosen and appointed by the Father, acting in behalf of the Godhead. (2). The possession, on his part, of the nature of those for whom he undertook to make satisfaction. (3). His subjection to the law to which those for whom he engaged to render'a satisfaction were subject. (4). That he be absolutely sinless and incapable of sinning. It is evident that unless Jesus Christ was chosen and appointed by the Father, he could merit nothing, and unless he obeyed and suffered in the nature of man, his obedience and suffering would avail nothing for sinful men, and if he were not made subject to the law he could neither obey nor suffer, and it is clear, if he were a sinner he could not obey and suffer in the room of others, so as to satisfy the law for them. All four of these prerequisites, the Scriptures inform us, Jesus Christ possessed. The following passages seem to place this matter beyond controversy. "God sent his son, made of a woman, made under the law." Gal. 4 :4. In this passage, the humanity of Jesus Christ and his subjection to the law, are positively declared. It is also asserted that God "sent" him. In the Epistle to the Hebrews, 2:14, we find these words, "As the children were partakers of tlesh and blood, he also, himself, took part of the same." In II. Cor. 5:21, it is said, "lie made him to be sin for us who knew no sin." The plain meaning of this passage is, that God made Jesus Christ his son, who knew no son, that is who was sinless and incapable of sinning, to be sin for his people. The matter of the satisfaction made by Jesus Christ, in the discharge of the functions of priest, consists of obedience and suffering. Those for whom he engaged to render satisfac^ /1/>1 <1 f 1?fA f a! /4 OOAOA f A f ho hull mcic UCUlUlOj 111 (v luw-iuiu autiot/j vu viiv. law of God. By violating the law they incurred the penalty annexed to the law, but they were not thereby released from the obligation to render a perfect obedience to the law. Adam and his posterity were as much bound to obey the law of God after Adam's sin. as Adam was before he sinned. The satisfaction which Jesus Christ rendered to the law consisted (1) in rendering to :it a perfect obedience, and (2) in satisfying its penal demands. Both the obedience and suffering of Jesus Christ were vicarious, or in the room and stead of others. He obeyed for others, and he died for others. When, however, it is said that he obeyed and suffered for others, we are not to understand that it was for others, in the sense that it was for the advantage of others. If this was all that Jesus Christ did, then he did only what martyrs in every age of the world have done. The outlaw, who drags out a miserable existence in a felon's cell, or dies upon the gallows, suffers or dies for the good of others. Jesus Christ was not a martyr. Ilis obedience to the law of God was a vicarious obedience, and his death was a vicarious death. The necessity of a satisfaction being rendered to the law of God will appear, if we contemplate the character of God as he is revealed in his word and works. When, however, it is said that a satisfaction was necessary, it is not an absolute necessity that is meant. In other words, God was not under any obligation to provide a Saviour for sinners, but having determined to save sinners, then it became necessary that the Saviour render a satisfaction to the legal claims against those whom he determined to save. There are some who hold that God could have pardoned sin and saved sinners without any satisfaction having been rendered to the law of God. Aside from the fact that i t always seems to be wicked to say that God might have acted in a different way from what he has done, many reasons may be given why a satisfaction to the law of God was necessary in order that sinners might be saved. To pardon sin without a satisfaction would have teen in direct conflict with all the attributes of God. Had this been the case then, contrary to the Scriptures, God is not so pure that he cannot behold evil and look upon iniquity, llab. 1:13. The Scriptures teacli us that "justice and judgment are the habitation of God's throne." Psalms 89 :14. It belongs to (tod's nature to reward the obedient and punish the disobedient. If God did not punish the disobedient and reward the obedient he would do violence to ins truth. lie has certainly promised to reward the righteous and threatened to punish the wicked. If he saves the sinner without a satisfaction of the violated law being rendered in his stead, we may ask what comes of the truth of God ? The theory that God could have saved sintiers without the obedience and suffering of lesus Christ, does violence to the holiness, to die justice, to the truth, to the goodness, and :o the wisdom of God. If the satisfaction ivliich Jesus Christ rendered to the law was lot. necessary, in the economy of grace, why lid God subject his son to so great humility, md so intense suffering ? The fact is, the scriptures teach us that the death of Jesus Jhrist was necessary (Luke 24:26), and it is n harmony with right reason. In the obelience of Jesus Christ, the sinner linds a per!ect righteousness, and in the death of Jesus Christ, the sinner finds that which shields him .'roin the avenging wrath of God. gsjr" Church fellowship, as a means, is to be lonored and improved ; but as an end of religion it is utterly worthless ; and if depended m for salvation, it will prove to be one of the mriimi i?v which the soul is enticed to | IIJIVUW*. .-..V...., ts own ruin. ??*Noman is ever off duty. In all places md at all times, lie is to be armed, watchful, eady for his work. The Scriptures make no )rovisions for "putting off" the armor of God. tjT Comforts, though alloyed, are more than 1 ve deserve; and, therefore, our complaints mist imt drown our thanksgivings.
