He was pa ticularly successful in his representation Lord Dundreary, the English dude, in To Taylor's comedy, "Our American Cousin He played this part for one hundred ai forty consecutive nights in New York, an having gone to London in 1861, he appear* in the same role for four hundred and nin ty-six nights. One day Sothern invited party of gentlemen to dine with him. T1 hour had arrived, and, with one exceptio so had the guests. "We may as well begin said Sothern, " is sure to come, and 1 would rather we would not wait for him.'

Withoutar objection, and trusting to Sothern's wit f some comical denouement, the unsuspectii fellows hurriedly crept under the table ar awaited results, totally ignorant of the fa that their wicked host had not follo\v< their example, but had quietly continm his soup. The belated guest came in full of apolof for his tardiness. "Don't mention it," sa Sothern ; "It isn't of the slightest cous quence: we are only at the soup; sit dov and be helped." The gentleman did so, but with a puzzl* look at the empty chairs about the tabl "Oh !" said Sotnern, "you miss the othi gentlemen. They are all here, but, for son extraordinary reason, they all got under ti table. What they are doing is more than know." It is easier to imagine than to describe tl variety of expression upon the faces of tl deluded victims as one by one they can crawling sheepishly out from under the t ble. In 1874 Sothern returned to New Yor and played here and in various large citi of the Union. He died in 1881, aged 51. Fritz's Dog Story.?There was silern for a few minutes, which Fritz took advan age of to remark: "I subbose you dinks dose American to; vas schmart, but dose togs must go to scho sometimes yet before day comes up m dose Schermany togs vat ve have in de o counthrie." The audience did not agree with Frit They insisted that the German dogs boi and bred under a monarchical form of go ernment were inferior in intellect to tl free and intelligent canines of the Unit* States, whereupon Fritz told a story abo a dog once owned by Fritz's uncle, B ron von Schimelp>feng.

What Lands Need Drainage ??A1 3h j lands that contain more water than is need LC_ ! ed by thecropsgrowing upon them. If yot Lr_! intend to raise corn or wheat the land wil of! need more draining than if intended fo m grass. Even grass lands need not be verj wet, as, if too wet, the growth of aquatii jd plants and grasses take the place of the cul d tivated grasses and ruins the hay and pas tures. "e_ Loose, porous soils, underlaid by sand oi a j gravel, are drained by nature; but all lant ie i that is underlaid by clay, rock or other im n? | pervious material needs draining. ? ! What is to be gained by underd rain age' I The surface of the water in the soil is lower > ed. The roots of cereals and grasses maj 1(j penetrate as far as the surface of the water 0f but never into it. It is necessary to draw n> the water off to such a depth as will give th< 0; J roots of growing crops plenty of room t< i rlnurnwnrd for flint, nourishment tha' is necessary to their growth. If the watei 0vr is only one foot from the amount of soi jg from which to gather nourishment, with th< Kj disadvantage of getting their feet wet by ca ct pillary attraction. Only aquatic plants grow well with their feet in the water. The lowering of the water below the sur face prevents a large amount of evaporation rV and its effects in cooling the soil. The watei i(l being removed, air and warmth are admit e_ ted to the soil. :n Drained lands are, for this reason, readj for planting at least two weeks earlier in the }(l spring. The growth of crops is quickened e through the summer by the increased terner perature of the soil, which amounts to sevie eral degrees, and the injurious effects of earie ly frosts are prevented in the same manner -r' Pmne orp thprnfnrp. civen an increased pe riocf, in which to make their growth, of al ie least two weeks. This is certainly a very ie important gain. a- Renting Farms.?Of all that appertain.' to agricultural matters that of renting farm? k, is the most unsatisfactory. In 99 cases oul es of 100 both the landlord and the one whc rents the farm are not satisfied with the result. It matters not how good conditior ce a farm be in, a year or two of renting wil it- have destroyed its productiveness. The tenant maybe the very best kind of a farm gs er, the result will be the same. It is a kinc ol of law of nature that renting of farms i; lit unprofitable to the owner as well as to th( Id occupant. In journeying through the rura districts, a farm that is rented can always z. be selected from those which are workec rn by its owner. The dilapidated state of th< v- buildings, the broken gates, the tumble fie down fences, the mammoth crop of weeds sd the unthrifty general appearance?the ail ut of desolation and destruction, are all to( . j i * 1 rni ?~ a- flagrant not to ne ooserveu. xut rtmei as farm is free to be plucked in every possible in manner. It is like the poor boy at th< as frolic, it has no friends. In plowing, th< h- object is to "cut and cover." The whole ob :ih ject, too, is to secure the utmost drain on tin p- soil?get everything off without returning er. any of the fertilizers necessary to make itpro er ductive. No, if a man has a farm ana he id cannot work it he had better let it remair p- idle rather than rent it. We can speak un ?r, derstandingly on this subject. We have id tried it.?farm, Herd and Home. r's ? Salt for the Throat.?In these day; d- when diseases of the throat are so universal ry ly prevalent, and in so many cases fatal, re 'le marks an exchange, we feel it our duty t< 118 stiy a word in behalf of a most effectual, i . not positive cure for sore throat. Formanj ri" years past, indeed we may say during tin whole of a life of more than forty years, w( -'Is have been subject to a dry hacking cough which is not only distressing to ourselves m but to our friends, and those with whom we n" are brought into business contact. Last Fal v" we were induced to try what virtue there was in common salt. We commenced bj using it three times a day?morning noor and night. We dissolved a large teaspoon rt ful of pure table-salt in about a half a snial tumbler full of water. With this we gar 3n gled the throat most thoroughly just before meal time. The result has been that during the entire winter we were not only free from ooiifh.s and colds, but the dry hacking cough had entirely disappeared. We attri bute these satisfactory results solely to th( use of salt gargle, and most cordially re commend a trial of it to these who are sub in ject to diseases of the throat. Many person.1 who have never tried the salt gargle havt ?' an impression that it is unpleasant, but af ter a few days' use, no person who loves ? ot nice clean mouth and a first-rate sharpenei 111 of the appetite, will abandon it.?Exchange n- 1 er Keep the Biildixgs Painted.?Tin . manufacturers of paints keep almost everj description prepared for use, and in suitabk .' cans to be transported, with such brushes as may be needed for domestic purposes. Some of the paints which would answer very wel for outside work, can be purchased at mod erate prices. Hence there is 110 reason tha there should be found among farm dwelling: and out-houses so many of them going t< decay for want of a little paint, which tin , owner or his boys could readily apply with 'j, out difficulty, thus not only adding to tin to ?eneral appearance of the buildings, bu greatly tending to their preservation. Ir comparison with this the cost of the pain and labor is a mere trifle and not wortl . counting. It is the wood work on the out ..." side of the building which suffers, present ing a most unsightly appearance, and begin early to decay. A good coat of paint a often as may be neetled, would preserve i for at least twice the length of time tha P" would be the case in the absence of the paint This fact is worth serious consideration, a it will be found that, instead of causing ai expenditure of money that many must thinl i " is thrown away, to look at the shabby ap " pearance of their buildings, it will prove at r' absolute saving. It should be remeinberet that money wisely spent, in cases like this is doubly saved.?Germantown Telegraph. 4 lst A Good Farmer.?According to a write in London Farm and Home, a good farme he must combine the judgment of many differ ent vocations; he must be a good financier's on a small scale, to be sure, but a good one also a good manager of labor; must com bine the judgment of the grazier, th< en butcher, the gardner and the merchant; h< must also have that judgment about tin is' condition of the land and crops for whicl ty there is no written rule, and which carefu in observation only gives; and in addition t( us all this he must have that quality for whicl there is no name, but which generally adapts means to ends, and accompli she; n- things?which seizes the right moment t< d, do the right thing?which knows when t( of finish one thiug at a time (which is gener or ally best), and when to leave that thing anc as do something which needs doing morels, the faculty which keeps his whole busi .rs ness together. This judgment is the far or mer's first and greatest need; it is the Iligl e- Court which must pass upon all that i; p, brought before it. The only man whose sue iw cess is hopeless, and who will never aquin 10, it, is he who thinks he knows it all in tin it. beginning. Top dressing Winter wheat is one o the very best means of using manure. Souk farmers draw manure from their barnyard! in Winter as fast as made ; but it is gener ' j ally better to throw it in heaps and allow i to partially ferment. Putting it on in clod: v* should be avoided not only as wasteful, bu because the clods sometimes smother tin wheat plants on which they fall. With j yr manure spreader one load of manure will g( as far as two spread by hand and be less lia ble to injure the wheat. v?_ | ed A very simple relief for neuralgia i; tr- to boil a small handful of lobelia in hal ik a pint of water till the strength is out of th( lie herb, then strain it off and add aspoonfu ir- of salt.

Change tin cloth as soon as cold till the pain is gone then cover the place with soft dry covering >r. till perspiration is over, so as to prevent tak be ing cold. lis th 88F An agricultural writer has found sail ,n- sprinkled on a manure heap an excellenl application both for Summer and Winter He says: "In warm weather it attract' ?" | moisture and keeps the manure from fire I fanging or burning from excessive ferment ," ation.

' 1 [Original.] , r! THE JUDGMENT. ] 71 ' i The resurrection of the dead, the changing ' 2 j of the living who may be on the earth at 1 "! that time, and the final judgment are events 1 ill which we are all interested. In the Scrip- 1 tures the time when these events will take 1 J place is called the "last day," and some 1 times "the day of the Lord." The subject { is calculated to inspire us with feelings , which are partly sublime and partly awful. l ' Three things in connection with this subject ; ' demand our attention: 1st, Will there ever i be a general judgment? 2nd, What will be < ; its character? 3rd, When will it be? i There are two ways by which we may sat- ' ' isfy ourselves, beyond a reasonable doubt, ( t that there will be, at some period in the fu- ] r ture, a general judgment. The first is the * I light of nature, the second is the teachings of 1 . the Bible. The light of nature teaches us that j [ one of the essential attributes of God is jus- ; " tice. No man will assert that even-handed 1 justice is meted out to any one, much less to every one, in this world. If so, the distine- J tion between virtue and vice is certainly, 1 1 to a large extent, fanciful. In the provi- 1 ; dence of God there is not a manifest exhibi- ' tion of equity. It is true that punishment, 1 r though moving slowly, never fails to over- 1 ; take the transgressor; but it is also true that ' [ the punishment is not in every case, or even t in any case, in exact proportion to the crime. 1 ' The light of nature, as well as the legal enactments of all nations, declare some sirs more heinous than others. On this princi- < [ pie all penal statutes are based. The more ] " heinous the crime the more severe the? pun- j ishment, is a principle which receives the ' approbation of all men. They may differ ' as to what is crime, but not in the degree in which crime should be punished. Persons * who are proven guilty of some crimes are ( fined in small sums, those who have been . 1 proven guilty of other crimes are fined in < J large sums, while those who have been i * proven guilty of having violated the law in | some respects have inflicted upon them some ( [ corporal punishment. The severest punish- J ' raent which can be inflicted is death. Take ( [ from a man his life and you take from him . | everything within your reach. All crimes, ; which, by statute, arc punishable with death, i : are by no means equal. If the individual 1 J who, in cold blood, murders one man is pun- ( .5 ishable with death, the man who murders , \ two men is, or ought to be, punishable with j i two deaths. Equity demands this, but when a man's life is taken from him once, 4.un., n.-..-! fUnxn nil Vnimnii loil'c OVirl luiTVinn I < r officersmustcea.se. They can go 110 further, j they can do no more. In those governments | whose laws are admitted to be wise and 3 equitable and justly administered, there are , 3 serious defects which cannot possibly be 1 3 remedied. The innocent are, at least, some" times made to suffer, while, not unfrequeni;- 1 3 ly, the guilty go free. For this, neither 1 > judges nor jurors are to be blamed. The ' [ defect, if defect it may be called, is in the 3 very nature of things. It is a part of the ( 1 imperfection of the present state of things. , ^ Such being the ease, in every country and 3 in every community, we instinctively look 1 forward to a. nerinrl when all these defects 1 and imperfections will be remedied and jus- ! 3 tice administered with an even hand. It is evident, that in the ordinary disper. sations of providence, God does not make a > full and final settlement with men. He, in f mercantile phrase, permits their accounts to 7 run on from year to year, now and then de- . i manding a payment, so that their accounts ? will never run out of date. No one, who ; > will carefully look into the matter, will ever . conclude that God, in this life, ever makes i J a full and final settlement with any of the i 1 human family. Justice demands that some * thing more be done before the books can be 1 7 closed and a final receipt given. Instinct1 ively some long for that period to come - when they will be rewarded according to I the deeds which they have done, while oth- j - ers contemplate that period with fearful ap- , * prehensions. i > It is admitted that there are some persons i who regard death the end of man and that > there will be no general judgment, other ' than that which is taking place everyday. J It is a waste of time to reason with the in" dividual who calls in question the percep* tions of his own senses and the decrees of ] 5 his own conscience. It is vain to attempt : } to reason with the man who denies that . ' grass is green, or who asserts that that is : 1 right which his own conscience condemns. r We are, however, not left to the necessity * of concluding from the light of naturealone, that there will be a general judgment. We i J have, on this point, revelation clear and * vi+.i/l 71, flir, <11/1 Toutaniunf munu mis -in uiv \yivi xwvivui\.?vj J sages are found which teach the doctrine di5 rectly, and others are found which teach it i indirectly. Of the first kind is Ecclesiastes 1 12:14, "God shall bring every work into - judgment, with every secret thing, whether t it be good, or whether it be bad." Of the * same kind, is Psalms 50:3?6, "Our God ) shall come, and shall not keep silence; a , i fire shall devour before him, hnd it shall be - very tempestuous round about him. He 3 shall call to the heavens from above, and to t the earth, that he may judge his people." i Paul, in Romans 14:10, quotes Isaiah 45:23, t to prove the doctrine of the general judgi ment. No one who has read the New Tes tament, will deny that the doctrine of a gen eral judgment is taught in that volume, s One single passage from many will be quos ted, "God hath appointed a day in which he t will judge the world in righteousness." t Acts 17:31. From the light of nature and . also from the word of God, we conclude that s there will be a general and final judgment, i The next thing in which we are interested ? is the character of the judgment. The two - things which give character to every judgi ment are the judge and the person or per1 sons iudged. Among the first questions , which are asked with regard to a court is, "Who is the judge." Tne judge in that grand court,which is to settle forever the afr fairs of the world, so far as man's eternal desr tiny is concerned, will be Jesus Christ. - This fact we learn from the Scriptures, - "The Father judgeth no man, but hath ; committed all judgment to the Son." John - ">:22. See also, Acts 10:40, and II. Timo3 thy 4:1. 3 For the discharge of the duties of a judge 3 Jesus Christ is eminently qualified. He is i divine, and consequently, possessed of all 1 the attributes necessary to lit him for this ) high position. He is Omnicient and no i deed, or word, or even thought, can be conr cealed from him. He isalso inflexibly just. 8 Righteousness is the habitation of his throne. > He not only will do right, but he cannot do ) wrong. He is also Almighty. Xo one will - be able to escape through his weakness, and 1 from his righteous decisions no one will - dare appeal. Rut Jesus Christ is not only eminently qualified to act as the judge on the day of 1 final assize, but this is a part of his mission 15 into this world. He came into the world to destroy the worksof the devil. I. John J: 8. 3 This world is in a state of revolt against the 3 authority of God and his Christ. To crush this rebellion, Jesus Christ came into tin; world. So long as sin remains in this world f the work of Jesus Christ will be unfinished. 3 At the general judgment his work will be i finished, and the world restored as it was . - when it came from the creative hands of its t maker. It will be completely saved from ( s the curse of sin. Xot only is judging the | t world a part of the mission of Jesus Christ, i 3 but this high honor is due to him as a rei ward for what he became, did and suffered, i ) "He humbled himself and became obedient 1 to death, even the death of the cross; there- ' fore God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name; j i that at the name 01 Jesus every Knee suae, f bow." Phil. 2: 8, 9, 10. i Another character of the general judg1 ment is that it will be universal. The par4 ties to be judged will be angels and men . t All the angels will be judged and all men } will be judged. At the general judgment., ; those holy spiritual beings, which we call an [ gels, will be openly acknowledged as having 1 been faithful, while those which sinned will: be openly condemned and visited with thai: | punishment for which they "have been re--1 t served in everlasting chains and darkness," j t until that day. All men will appear before the judgment ; 3 seat of Christ. The countless millions of ' the human family from Adam, the first of i - the race, down to the last of his descendants i(, i will present themselves. That will be the I,, 3 grandest assemblage that earth ever saw. j i As they approach the judgment seat of the j udge, instinctively this vast multitude will | livide into two companies. One part will [ ille off and take its position on the right | liandof the judge, while the other part will irrange itself on the left of the judge. ! rhose on his right hand will be openly acknowledged, while those on the left will he sentenced and turned into hell. Those on the right hand will shout for joy, saying 'by grace we are saved." Those on the left liana will utter a wail of grief and say, "we knew our duty but did it not." That day ivill wind up the affairs of earth. Time will then cease. The righteous will be saved, the wicked all damned and God's eternal! government approved. The third inquiry is, "When will this ( general judgment be?" The reply is easy. | No one knows. God has seen fit to conceal it from all his creatures. This is not the inly thing that an all-wise God has seen tit to conceal from his creatures. No one snows the hour of his final dissolution. No me knows when his spirit will quit his nortal body. We are told in the Scriptures i :hat -the judge will come as a thief in the \ lirrhf- \"n iuw? aim II PYlinptimr llim "O"" A"' " " Practically, the destiny of every human icing is irrevocably fixed at death.
