This question is just now revived in our mind by a letter from an esteemed subscriber, in which he uses the expression, "Grass is king." Located, as he is, in the heart of the tobacco belt of Virginia, we at first were somewhat startled by such a bold and progressive utterance. For a longtime in that locality, and possibly it is true with most farmers, tobacco was the ruling agricultutal sovereign, whilst grass, in the shape of clover, on a few small lots, was, and is now, made to pay homage to its king. Looking, however, over the whole of our great country, and viewing the subject in all its aspects, it will be seen that our friend is right, and that farmers who acknowledge the fact and practice on it, will profit by it. Grass clothes the fields with verdure^ affords grazing "to the cattle nn a thousand hills." makes the hay for their winter food, whilst they in turn digest it, and return it back to the land for its improvement; its sod, in decay, yields the vegetable matter which feeds the crops; its roots sink deep and bring to the surface mineral substances of value to plant growth, and its blades absorb the nitrogen and carbon of the atmosphere to promote and sustain their own growth, then turn them over to the soil for crops which are to follow. It will be instructive to look at the money value of the leading farm crops as given in the last published annual report of the United States department of agriculture : Corn, $635,674,610 Wheat, : 275,820,390 Barley 32,867,696 Oats,- 179,681,860 Rye : 12,594,820 Cotton, 269,889,812 Tobacco, 43,265,598 Potatoes, 78,173,403 Hay 389,752,873 It will be admitted, we think, that the value of grass for pasturage, and in other ways mentioned, is fully as much as its commercial value in hay, so that by doubling the last figures in the table, we have the sum of $779,505,756, or a total annual value above corn of $143,831,126. Which, then, is king? A great agricultural truth | is laconically asserted in theadage, "Without grass, no cattle; without cattle, no manure, no crops." Spring time has now arrived, aud with it farmers should sow as much grass seed as possible. To this end, wheat fields should have attention. If the land has been packed by winter rains, run over the wheat a sharp, two-horse harrow, following up the harrowing closely by sowing one gallon and a half of clover seed, and one peck of timothy, or a bushel and a half of orchard grass on each acre. The * - 1 x u.?4. ...:n barrow does doc injure me wiieai, uut win make a good seed-bed for the grass seeds, which will be sufficiently covered by the first gentle rain. If the land is light and puffy, sow the grass seeds, and follow with an iron field roller, which will greatly benefit the wheat by compacting the surface, and at the same time sufficiently cover the seeds. As a general rule, either of these operations is best done in our State about the middle of March, and proportionately sooner, farther south, this being the time winter freezings are over, and the wheat is ready to commence its spring growth. The best catch of grass is frequently secured by sowing with spring oats. After the oats have been sown, and neatly harrowed in, sow the grass seeds on the fresh lands, and lightly brush them in, or depend for a covering by the first rain. Grass will take best if the oats are sown only moderately thick?say, not more than five pecks to the acre; and according to our general theory of seeding, the crop of oats will not be lessened thereby, but may be increased. As soon as the wheat and oats are reaped, and while still in shocks on the fields, the young grass will be greatly benefitted by sowing broad cast on each acre a bushel and a half of plaster, and if the farmer can afford it, 200 pounds of some soluble phosphate, but by all means the plaster. No permanent improvement of our southern lands will take place until farmers become fully sensible of the fact that there must be a proper system of rotation of crops, in which grass shall haye a fixed and prominent position?Southern Planter. A Boy on a Farm.?It is my impression that a farm without a boy would soon come to grief. What a boy does is tne me of the farm. He is the factotum, always in demand, and always expected to do the thousand and oue things that nobody else would do. Upon him fall the odds and ends, the most difficult things. After everybody else is through he is to finish up. His work is like a woman's?perpetually waiting on others. Everybody knows how much easier it is to cook a good dinner than to wash the dishes afterward. Consider what a boy on a farm is required to do, things that must be done, or life would actually stop. It is understood, in the first place, that he is to do all the errands, to go to the store, to the postoflice, and to carry all sorts of messages. If he had as many legs as the centipede they would tire before night. He is the one who spreads the grass as the men cut it; he stows it away in the barn; he rides the horse to cultivate the corn, up and down the hot, weary rows; he picks up the potatoes when they are dug; he brings wood and water and splits j kindling; he gets up the horse and turns out the horse. Whether he is in the house or out of the house, there is always something to do. Just before school in the winter he shovels paths; in the summer he turns the grindstone. And yet, with his mind full of schemes of what he would like to do, and his hands full of occupation, he is an idle boy who has nothing to busy himself with but school and chores. He would gladly do all the work if somebody else would do all the chores, he thinks; and yet, I doubt if any boy ever amounted to anything in the world, or was of! much use as a man, who did not enjoy I the advantages of a liberal education in ! the way of chores. Points on Onion Culture.?The land ! should be drained, and well manured, j with hog, hen, cow or horse manure, and sowed the first week in April, with good seed, in rows fourteen inches apart?four pounds to an acre. A liberal top-dressing of wood ashes is good. As soon as seeds j are up apply wheel hoe and "scuftlers;" I pull up every weed. About 200 pounds of I superphosphate to the acre will now help | much. Thin but little, if at all. Onions j do best grown year after year on the same j ground. The farmer who desires to excel and make his business as profitable as possible 1 must not only endeavor to enrich his soil, 1 so that he can grow large crops, but he ! must have in view the care and improvement of his live stock. He must not only i breed so as to improve his herd in general, j but he must give such care that he may j make the most profit out of every individual member of that herd. There is noth- ; ing that will pay better for time and money expended than to card your cattle every morning. It cannot be repeated too often that the stomach is the fountain which supplies every part of the body. If the stomach is sick, the brain, heart, lungs, liver, bowels, kidneys, and spiue are all sick. The trouble may all be felt in one spot; it may be the stomach itself, or it may be in the brain, or in a rheumatic muscle. It will be felt in the weakest place. Every link in the chain bears the same strain ; it is only the weakest points.that give way. In this country nearly $3 worth of milk, butter and cheese together are sold and consumed to every dollar's worth of beef. What is more there is not much uanger inai me mantei iur uair.y piuuutia will ever be less than it is now?it is practically inexhaustible. All tins should be washed quickly after using in clean soap-sud, scaldpd and wiped immediately, and they will not need scouring. Frequent scouring, even with whiting, wears them out. Honey sometimes has an onion flavor from the bees gathering from fields of onion seeds. If allowed to set a few weeks, the unpleasant flavor will pass off. fUMingfo* ifeJfoMxtk. CONDUCTED BY RKV. ROBERT LATHAN. I [Original.] THE JUDGMENT.?Matthew 25:31-^0. There is a remarkable transition in the character of the words and works of our Saviour during his ministry hereon earth. During the first part, and by far the longer ! period of his ministry, his words and works were full of mercy, with scarce a semblance of judgment. He fed the multitudes, healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, opened the ears of the deaf and loosed the tongue of the dumb. All these merciful acts were performed with apparently little or no reference to the moral or i.ni;?inno i.huronfor nf flip npr^nns who 4 VI IV/UC VllUAUVkV* ?/ ?> v . . were made the recipients of the blessings. After his transfiguration the words and miracles of our Saviour begin to exhibit mercy tinged with judgment. Even in the early part of our Saviour's ministry, he occasionally asserted his prerogatives as a judge. At Jerusalem, duringthe first passover which he attended after beginning his public ministry, he drove the moneychangers and those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, out of the temple, pouring out their money and overthrowing their tables. The prevailing characteristic, however, of all that our Saviour said and did, during the early part of his minislry, was mercy. As he approached Jerusalem, on his last journey thither, a remarkable change took place in his manner. The transition at first is scarcely perceptible. Xearly all the parables spoken by our Saviour during the last six months of his ministry, have, if closely examined, a more distinct tinge of judgment than those spoken before. The same is true of the incidents which occurred in his life during that period. The parable of the unjust-steward is full of judgment. The same is true of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. About six days before his crucifixion, our Saviour entered Jerusalem in triumph, the people shouting Hosannah to the Son of David. The night after this triumphal entrance he spent at Bethany, and on returning, the next morning, to the city, he cursed the barren fig tree. In this act there is apparently no mercy; it is all judgment. The parables spoken by our Saviour, after this, are, most of them, a marvelous weaving together of mercy and judgment. Gradually mercy begins to fall out. The last step in the transition from mprpv tn indfrmentis taken at the twenty fifth chapter of Matthew at the fourteenth verse. In the passage which stands at the head of this article, mercy is not visible. The Son of Man does not appear as offering mercy, but as a judge pronouncing sentence of acquittal and condemnation. The series of parables contained in the twentyfourth and twenty-fifth chapters of Matthew, was introduced by the disciples asking their master what would be the sign of the destruction of Jerusalem and of the end of the world. Our Saviour was, at the time, sitting on the Mount of Olives, his eyes fixed upon the city of Jerusalem. The parabolical feature of the conversation gradually falls out and our Saviour individually announces that the Son of Man will come in his glory and all the holy angels with him. The contrast between our Saviour's first coming and his second is most striking. There was much that was truly marvelous in the entrance of our Saviour into the world. It was at a remarkable period in the world's history. It was in the fullness of time. Morally the world was in a most deplorable condition. The gods of the heathen were fast falling into decay. The Jews, God's ancient people, were corrupt beyond the power of words to describe. In this critical period Jesus was born?humble and obscure. Still his birth startled the rulers, onri tn psranp tha murderous desiens of Herod, he was, by divine direction,'taken down to Egypt. When he first came God manifest in the flesh, wise men from the east came to do him honor ; but when he comes the second time he will come in his glory and all the holy angels with him. It is impossible for the human mind to comprehend the grandeur of our Saviour's second coming. We have no knowledge as to the number of angels. They are spoken of as "A innumerable company of angels." Again the number of them that John saw in the vision on Patmos "Was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands." All these will accompany our Saviour when he comes again. When ourSaviour was born there was "no room for him in the inn," and he was laid in a manger. For a period of.about thirty-three years he went about I doing good, but lived and died without a home, and his lifeless corpse was laid in the grave of another. When he comes again it will be as the judge of the world, and he will take his seat on the throne of his glory. There is a marvelous contrast between the death of our Saviour on the cross and his second coming to judge the world. With the exception of a few individuals, who were very poor, obscure and without influence, he died friendless. All forsook him and fled, and between two thieves he died a most ignominious death. When he comes again, he will take hi-s seat on the throne of his glory, and before him all I nations shall be gathered. We can form j no estimate of the number of human beings who will be present. Just think of j the countless multitudes who have, since the creation, lived on the surface of our earth, and whose lifeless bodies have been deposited in its bosom. The number is so great that the human mind cannot grasp it. All these will be gathered before him who was once reproachfully called the Gallilean. Since the fall of man the righteous and the wicked have been the common sharers of the blessings of God's providence. They have lived in the same community. The same cloud has watered their fields, and the same breeze fanned their fevered cheeks. Often they dwell beneath the same roof, eat at the same table and recline on the same bed. They socially mingle together in all the affairs of life, rejoiced and wept together. They were bound together by many tender ties as citizens of the same country, as innaouanis 01 me same community, as husbands and wives, as parents and children. Together they lived and together they were buried. When the Son of Man comes again, he will not only call all nations before his throne, but he will separate the righteous from the wicked as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats. This final separation of the righteous and wicked will present the most sublime scene ever wituessed by created intelligence. No doubt all the holy angels will gaze on the wondrous spectacle in mute amazement. The righteous will all be taken home to their father's house, and the wicked will all be driven away from the holy angels, and from redeemed men, and from God, into that fire prepared for the devil and his angels. This suggests that while the righteous are to be separated from the wicked, they are, in some sense, to be associated together. In some way, we know not how, Moses and Elijah were associated together when they appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration, and, although they appeared on earth, they appeared in glory and they talked to the Saviour. If they tnlUo/-! flio Qq vinnr wh\r nnf tflllr iau\cu wuii i>11v u? ? IUUI ) u IIJ t?w ???.? with each other? And if Moses and Elijah talked with the Saviour and with each other, why may not all the redeemed hold holy conversation in their father's house? A countless multitude of redeemed will be collected from all regions of the world, and of all generations, and of all classes of our race. All these will be called by the endearing name "Children of God." On the other hand, while the wicked will be forever separated from the righteous, and from holy angels, aud from God, they will be crowded together in a place, called in the Scriptures, "A lake that burns with fire and brimstone," and their companions, throughout an endless eternity, will be lost spirits. Wherever the place is to which the wicked will bp driven, and whatever it may be, it, we are positively told in the Scriptures, was prepared for the devil and his angels ; not for men. If the thought of being associated with God and holy angels forever cheers the heart, the thought of having to live and suffer forever in company with lost spirits, J ! is awful. There are many things in this world j which seem to indicate that the present ! state of things is not final. Gpd, in time, i does not punish sin as it deserves. The most heinous sinners are not the most severely punished. Those who violate the ! second table of the moral law are sometimes punished and sometimes they are not punished; and, when punished, are not punished in proportion to their transgressions. All murderers are not put to death, and even if they were, all murder io nnt o/inallir afrnfMfinS Thf* SPVPFPfit IO UUU V>\^ UU1IJ UVi ? ? W ^ ? _ _ _ . punishment that can be inflicted upon any one is to take away his life, but there are some crimes which are so atrocious that taking away the lifeoftheindividualswho committed them is no satisfaction even to human law with all its defects. Justice demands that there be a final reckoning. The thing which will determine the character of individuals when the Sun of Man comes in his glory and takes his seat on the throne of his glory, will be personal connection with the judge himself, or the want of personal connection with him. Then it will be manifest to an assembled world that the righteous have a personal relation to the judge that the wicked have not and neverdid have. That such a connection exists will be tested by deeds, in themselves, exceedingly simple. So intimate is the relation between the judge and his brethren, that w hat is done for them is regarded as beingdone for the judge. The righteous are called by the judge the blessed ones of his father, and are welcomed into the kingdom prepared for them before the foundation of the woild, "for," says the jud?e, "I was a hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; naked, and ye clothed me; I was ' in prison, and ye came to me." These are the things, which, at the day of final ac, counts, it will be seen that the righteous have done, and to have done them to the judge of the quick and dead, because they did them unto the least of the brethren of the judge. These little acts of kindness indicatea personal relation to the Saviourjudge. They were not performed to be seen of men, but so silently that those who performed them were not conscious of the fact. The absence of these little acts of kindness to the brethren of the judge, will constitute the badge by which the wicked, at_the day of judgment, will be known. The test of Christian cnaracrer is uiwe acts of kindness. The Pharisees paraded the streets, preceded by some one blowing: a trumpet, and a herald proclaiming that such a rabbi was going to distribute alms to the poor. All this was to be seen of men. There was not a particle of love for the poor in it. It had its origin in pure, unadulterated self-love. Such acts are called, among men, great and praise worthy, but such acts will be heard of in the day of final accounts only to condemn. The day of our death is practically the day of judgment. In death a change is made which is irreversible. It is this . fact that gives to death all its terrors to the wicked. What may appropriately be called dying grace is given to the righteous in the hour and article of death. To the dying unbeliever death is the bridge over which he passes to a world of unmitigated pain and anguish. To the right. eous, death is the door that opens td'admit them into an eternity of ineffable bliss. Ipl W fcROYAL PSCMJ J* ^ fell Hi /Hife i POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
