The so calk-d red spiders which are jbor.aful to' ptosis, are not true sliders j but are a* ipecies of mite ? sma*!, indeed ? but mighty o?ten iu numbers and eject. The true spiders, such as spin visible webs and are found in dar.-: corncrs about buildings, are predacoms in their habit.-*, and live upon flies and such in-? sects as may prove injuriou; to vtgeta tior. Their presence may" not be apprc. ciated, becausc o? the prejudice which* many have against them, bat they ace' j frieu h in the conservatory rather vhan foes. Th?v should not be classed with the little mite known as red spider.? LaJietr Urns Gompinbn. THE HEAT OF A HOTBED. There is one necessary element of growth in the germination of seeds (this will be fully explained on another -Occa sion) besides moisture and warmth, and this is air. If a seed is buried too deep ia the soil it doe3 not germinate. This is a matter of common experience, as when land is plowed deeply f,y dug up from a considerable de^th, seeds ger minate that have laic m the ground foo many yean. Almost all seeds contain a Urge proportion of oil, and this is a pro vision of nature for their preservation. This oil reiists decay and prevents rot ? tin? of the'seeds. The manure from an old hotbed spread out on the surface of the ground the next spring will almost al ways produce i?any weeds, and e3j>ec ially grasfc and closer, the seeds of which have remained sound in it from the year before. The same is true of a an lire heaps a year old. ? New York Times. POTATO VISE BOREK. Ia the past five or *ix rears there has appeared in this section, writes Dr. A. G. Chase of Kansas, an enemy of the po tato that is seriousiy affecting the yield. It is a borer, about fn inch and a quar ter long by two lines in diaraater, pink ish brown on the back,* with a fight yel low, narrow stripe on the sides. Indeed, I think there may be more tbaa one kind of these borer*, although I have never found but this one in the potato; but' I have found* another and different wirrf in squash and pumpkin-vines and in the common ".careless" or hog weed, hs it is of tea r alio. I. la the potato vine they do their work chiefly from the middle of June to July 1U> They generally enter, a few inches above the ground and work up and down, holloaing out the pith and, pushing their chips out through the ^ntracce hole, like the hickory and other wood borers, and the vine soon dies. With the early crop of potatoes thei* work does little damage, but second eariy and late ? unless very late?' he ; reduce the yield from one-fourth to oue-hatf, by checking the growth. Ic my potatoes this year every third or fourth hill had a borer, and mm/ of the vine* were dead Au just 1 that ought to have beau in vigorous growth. I am not an entomol ogist to recognize the moth, or to hatch tf?e worm. I have thought that two or three sprayings of the vine* with Paris green might prevent the laying of the egg; or, wiiat is more prolxlble, two or three tiptgpugh dusting* pith insect pow der, bvU I have not tried either. ? Amer icanj&fricuUurut. COUNTRY BF.EF CLX'BS. We ustd to be fooli-'u enough, in this j neighborhood ? Philadelphia, Mo. ? to ! -sell all our nice fat beef to the butcher ! for city people to eat, and we would eat ; Ofd saiiy bacon, except Late in the tall 1 we would kill our winter beef. That way is channel now. We have, in this neighborhood an J other neighborhoods j in this county, organized beef club?, which annually kill fifty to sixty beeves, inside of a ra I! us of eight mile?, 'oefore freezing weather comes. Usually eight person* or families agree to furnish a yearling heifer. Then Eone one is chosen or agrees to do the killing, divid ing and keying of booksi, and is paid by the elub $1.25 to $1.50' for each beef killed au I thus divide J. If, in cascone ehhth of a beef is too much for one famdy, they either sell par; or take in another partner. We begin killing about the middle of September, or as soon as "nights are c>oi enough thor oughly to cool o5 the bfeef. We kilf yearling heifers because th*y make bet ter beef than steers, and sire not worth as mttcb money. Heifcrsj sell at two cents and two and one -quarter cents per pound, gross. That makes our beef net us four to four and one-half rent-!, and gives us a chance to get rid of a I bad colors and low grade cattle. ? Journal of Ayricuilur&r i-/ j ^ ?! o T3P. HESSIAN* PLY.

Save the best bay for the season "when your horses will have to work hardest. The best poultry breed is the one you have tested aud tried and is best adapted to your purpose. Two by four-inch scantlings placed , two feet from the ground or lioor make perches for fowLs. Pekin ducks are easily raised, grow rapidly, and make ilesh twice as fast as a fast-growing chicken. A breed generally has oulv one dom inant talent and seldom excels in more than one characteristic. By keeping fowls through the winter i in good condition their usefulness in the spring i? greatly increased.

A very prominent bee isecper seems to doubt the statement. * i Poultry raising as aa exclusive business has only in exceptional cases proved a success; tue principal dependence for both eggs and poultry is upon tiio farmer. There are rmgbone3~ that cannot be cared, unless a skilled veterinarian exam ines the case; however, there is no way to tell that, except by trying the usuii remedies of blistering and firing. A reliance on old and tried varieties ol fruits is the proptr thing for a novice in fruit culture... Many of these old fraits are as prolific and profitable as they were a generation ago.

There's not a farm where grain has been feci, especially cotton, or huseel meal, but the evidence may be read in the fertility of the soil. These grains are so rich ia plant foon that the ani mals take but a small per cent, in its passage through the body. If you kno w that d i n and sire are without weaknesses, we would siy to a correspondent, there is no danger in close iubreedin:;. Tae trouble, is that^it. is difficult to know that. It is not to be forgotten that our improved breeds are largely the result of inbreeding. Some men will plow and work arouii a bowlder for half a lifetime. The cheapest way to dispos? of it, if it is too large to be hauled off, is to dig a pic an! topple it over into it. We have seea many an unsightly, botbeoo ne stoud effectually disposed of in this way. Pigs-eannot be grown profitably on whey alone, but when fed with cnrnmeal and shorts there is a marked saving. Seven pounds of whey about equal one of cornmeai when they are fed together, and therefore when the former is worth twelve dollars per ton whey it worth eight cents per hundred. A growinghog will, if of good breed, increase fully one pound in weight every cav of its life. If it does this it i3 pretty sure to leave a profit over cost of i seeding aside from its addition to the , manure pile. If it does n^t, dispose of it in some way. and get pigs that will do this. Tnere are several breeds that can ! be fed with prorit an ! the grades of i these for feeding are goo 1 as the pure j blood.

Text: m There teas sUence in heaven | about the space of half an howr.n ? Revela tion viii., 1. The busiest place ia the uniyerseis heaven. It is the center from which all good in fluences start. -It is~the goal at which all good results arrive. The Bible represents it as active with wheels and wings and orches tras and processions mounted-or charioted. Bnt my text describes a apace when th* wheels ceased to roll, and th? trumpets to sound, and the voices to chant. The riders on the white horses reigned in their chargers. The doxologies were hut&ed and the processions halted. The hand of arrest was put upon all the splendors. "Stop, heaven f cried an omnipotent voice, and.it stopped. For thirty minutes everything celestial stood still. 'Tiiera was silence in heaven for half an hour n .from all we can learn it is the only time' heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as other cities for the night, for there is no night there. It does not stop for a plagu". for the inhabitant never says, **I am sick." It does not stop for bankruptcies, for its in habitants never fail. It does not stop for impassable street", for there are no fa'.lea snows nor sweeping rreshets. \V hat, then, stopped Jt for thirty minutes? Grotius and Professor Stuart think it was at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem. Mr. Lord thinks it was in the year 311. tertween the close of the Diocletian persecution and the beginning of the wjrs by which Constantino gained the throne. But that was all a guess, though a learned and brilliant guess. 1 do not know when it was and 1 do not care when it was, but of the fact that such an in terregnum of sound took place, am cer tain . '"There was silence m heaven for halt an hour " - And first of all we may learn that God and all heaven honored silence. The longest and widest dominion that ever existed is that over which stillness was queen. For an eternity there had not been a souni. World making was a later day -occupation. For unimaginable ages it was a mute uni verse. Gol was the only being, and as there was no one to speak to there was no utterance. But that si;euce has beeu all broken up into worlds, and it has become a noisyuniver*. Worlds ia upheava.?, worlds in congelation, 'worlds in" bonflagratioo, worlds in revolution. If geologists are right ?and I believe they are? there has not been a moment of silence since this workl began its travels, an 1 the crashings, and the * splittings, and the uproar, and the hub bub artf.ever in progres3. $ But when among the supernals a voice cried, "Hushf ana for half an hour heaven was still, silence was honored. The full power of silence many of us have yet to learn. We a*e told that when Christ was arraigned, "He ans were.! not a word." That silence was louder thai\ any thunder that ever .shook the world. -oftentimes, when we are assailed and misrepresented, the might iest thing to s&y is nothing, and the mightiest thing to do is nothing. Those people who are always rushing into print to get themselves set right accomplish nothing but their own ciiagnn. Silence ! Do right and leave the results with God. Among the grandest lessons the world has ever learnel are the lessons of patience taught by those who endured uncomplainingly personal or domestic or socia! or political injustice. Strouger than any bitter or sarcastic or revengeful answer was the patient silence. The famous Dr. Morrison, of Chelsea, ac complished as much by his silent patience as by bis pttg and tongue. He had asthma that for twenty-five years brought him out of his couch at two o'clock each morning. His four sons and daughters dead. The remain ing child by sunstroke made insane. Tna - afflicted man said, "At this moment therd is not an inch of my body that is not filled with agony." Yet, he was cheerful, trium phant, silent. Tiiose who were in his pres ence said they felt as though they were in the gatea of heaven. Ob, the power of patient silence! Eschy Jus, the immortal poet, was condemned to death for Writing something that offended the people. All "the pleas in his bshatf were of no avail, until his brother uncovered the' arm of the prisoner and showed that his hand had been shot off at Salamis. Tbat siknt plea liberated him. The loudest thing on earth is silence if it be of the right kin i and at the right time. There was. a quaint old hymn, spelled in the old style, and once sung in the churches; j, The race Is not forever got dj mm a-j isciee: ran?, \ Nor the Battel by ihoa peopett That shoot with the longest zaa*. My friend?, the tossing Sea ol Galilee j seemed most to offend Christ by tne amount 1 of noise it made, for He said to'it, "Be stiil !" ] Heaven has been crowning kings and queens | unto God for. many centuries, yet heaven never stopped a moment for any such occur rence, but it stopped thirty minutes for the coronation of Silence. "Phftre was silence in heaven for half an hour." Learn also from my text that heaven must be an eventful" and active place, from the fact that it could afford only thirty minutes or recess. There have been events on earth and in heaven that seemed to demand a whole day or whole week or whole year for celestial consideration. If Grotius was right and this silence occurred at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem, that scene was so awful and so prolonged that the inhabitants of heaven could not ^ave done iustice to i\ in many weeks. Arter leartui Das; element or tne two tor Iressesof Jerusalem? Antonio and Riopicus ? had bc. en going on for a long while, a Roman soldier mounted on the shoulder of another soldier hurled ia?o the window of the tem ple a firebrand and the temple was ail aflame, and afw^covering many sacrifices to the holiness oT God, the building itself became a sacriiice to the rage of man. The hunger of the people in that city during the besiegement was so great that as some out laws were passing a doorway and inhaled the odors of food, they burst open the door, threatening the mot nor of the household with death unless she gave them food, and j she took them aside and showed the u it was her own child she was cooking for the gnast- 1 ly repast. Six hixndred priests were destroyed on. Mount Zion because the temple being gone j there was nothing for them to do. Six thou- j sand people in ons cloister were consumed. ! There were one million one hundred thou- j sand dead, according to Joseplius. Grotius . t inks that this was the cause of silence in ; heaven for half au hour. If Mr. Lord was j right and this silenc.} was during the Diocie- [ tian persecutions, by which etght hundred j and forty-four thousan I Christians suffered ! death from svpord and lire and banishment and exposure, why did not heaven listen j throughout at ieast one of th">se awful years? ] No! Thirty minutes! Tlio fact is that thi ! -"'celestial programme is so crowded with spec- ] jaete toat it can afford only one recess in ail ! tternity and that for a short space. White there are ?reat choruses in which all heaven can join, each sou! there has a \ :-torv cf divine mercy peculiar to itse'.f au 1 ~vt must lea i?olo. llow can heaven get through with ail its recitatives, with all j its canto?, with all its grand marches, with all its victories? Eternity is too short to utter all the praisr. In my t:-xt heaven spared thirty minutes, but it wili never again spare one minute. In worship in earthly churches, wnen there are many to take part, we have to counsel brevity, but how will heaven get on rapidly enough to Jet the one hundred and forty-four thou sand get through each with his own story, ; and then the one hundred and forty-four million, and then the one hundred and forty-four billion, an i then the one hundred and forty -four trillion. toXot only are all the triumphs of the past be commemorated, but all th? triumphs to come. Not only what we i:o-.v know of God, lot wbat we wili know of Him after i veras-tine study of the L>eitic. If juy text had said t ere was silence in heaven for thirty days, JL would not have been startled at the announcement. but it indicates t-Uirty mi?>utes. Why. there will be so many friends t ) hunt up; so many of the greatly good and useful that we will want to see; so many of the inscrutable things of earth we will need explained; so many exciting earthly exper iences we will wan: to talk over, and all the ?' other spirits and all thi a^es will want the ?ame,that there will be no more opportunity for cessation. *" How busy we will be kept in having pointed out to us ttie hnsrees an f heroines that the world neve^ fully appreciated ? the yetfonr fever and cholera doct>r.s wbi died, not fiym^ from their po-t4; th ? female nurse^who faced pestilence in the lazarettos: the railroad engineer* who staid at th:*:r places in orier to save ths ti'am t!-->u.;h they themselves perished iinbirt Gofliu, the master miner, who, san'ting fnrn tne bucket at ill? b:?ttom of. the mine, just as he bear 1 the watjrs rush ax, and when one jerk of tbe rope would have lifted him into safety, put a Wind miner who wanted to go to his'sick child in the tucket and jerked the ro:>? for him to be vn led up, crying. *?fe!! them the water Las bar st ift^nd weare^pbabb- lost, out w at-will seels refnge at the other end ot tbe right gal leryr1 andjhen giving the oomataud to the other miners tiil they digged themselves so near out that the people from the 'outs ids ?pouid conie to their rescue.

Its population ' has q^irupled, .sextupled, centupled. Heaven, fcas more on hand, more of rapture, more ofefcuoyvidse. more of intercommunica tion, more of worship. * There is not so much difference between Brooklyn seventy-five years ago, when there were a few-houses down on the East river and the village reached up only to Sandi street, i?s compared with what this great city is now? yea, not so much difference be tween New York when Canal street was far up town, and now when Canal street is far down town, than there is a difference be tween what lieaveu was when my text was written and what heaven is now. The most thrilling place we have ever been in is stupid compared with that, and if we now have no time' to spare we will then have no eternity to spare. Silence in heaven only half an hour. My subject a'so impress me with the im mortality of & halt" hoar. That half hoar mentions! in n>y text is more widely known ? than any oth.^ period in the calendar of heaven. N(5Ere^of the whole hours of heaven are measured off. none of the years, none of the centuries. Of the millions of ages past and the millions of age* to come not one is especially measured off in the Bible. The half hour of ray text is made immortal. The only part of eternity tihat was ever measured bv earthly timepiece was measured by the minute baud of my text. Oh, the half hours I The 7 decide every thing. 1 am not asking' 4fcat you will do with the years or raoathsuor days of your life, but what of the half hours. TeU me the history of your half hours and I will teJl you the stery of your whole life on earth and the story of youi* whole life in eternity. The right or wrong things you can think in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can say in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can do in thirty minutes are glorious or baleful, inspiring or desper ate. Look out for the fragments of time. They are pieces of eternity. It was the half hours between shoeing horses that made EHhu Burritt the learned blacksmith; the half hours between pro fessional calls as a physician that made Abercroinbie the Christian philosopher; the half hours between his duties as school master that made Salmon P. Chase chief justice; the half hours between shoe lasts that made Henry Wilson vica president of the United States; the half hours between canal boats that made James A. Garfield president. " The halt' hour a day for good books or bad books, the half hour a day for prayer or in dolence, thelhalf hour a day for helping others or bUming others, the half hour be fore you go' to** business and the half hour alter your rdfeirn from business ? taat makes the difference between the scholar and the ignoramus, between the Christian and the infidel, between tbe saint and Jhidepion, be tween triumph and catastrophe, between heaven and hell. The most tremendous things of your life and mine were certain half hours. The half hour when in the parsonage of a country minister I resolve 1 to become a Christian then and there; the half hour flphen 1 decided to become a preacher of the Gospel : the half hour when I first realised that my ton was dead ^t he half hour when I stood on the top of my house in Oxford street and saw our church burn; the half hour in which ? eutered Jerusalem, the half hour in which I ascenced Mount Cal vary ; t'ae half hour in which I stood on Mars hill; the half hour in which th3 dedi catorv praver of this templB was made, and\ about ten or liftmen olher half hours are the chief times of my life. You may forget the name oi the exact years or most of the ira portaniTvents of your existence, but those half hours, like the hulf hour of my text, wili^ beimmorca'. . I do not query what you will do with the Twentieth century. I do not % query what vou will do with 1*S9>, but what will you do with tbe next half hour? Upon that hinges vour destiny. And during that some of y<Ju will rcceive the Uospsl and make complete surrender, and during that others of you will make final ami fatal rejection of the full and tree an l urgent an I impassioned offer of life eternal. Oh, that the next half hour might be t ie most glorious thirty inin utesof your earthly existence. 1 Far back iu history a great geographer stood with a sailor looking at a globe that represented our planet, an I he pointed to a place on the globe where he thought there was an undiscovered continent. That un discovered continent was Am;rica. The geographer who pointed where he thought there was a now world was Martia Behaiin, and tbe sailor to w horn he showed it was Columbus. This last was not satisfied till ho had picked that gem out of tne sea and set it m the crown of the world's geography. Oh, ye who have been sailing up and down the "rou rh seas of sorrow and sin, let me point out to you anotner comment:, yea, anocner u?>ri'', thai you may yourselves find a rap turous worl ;. and that is tbe world a half hour of which we now study. Ob, set sail for it ! Hero is the ship and here are the compasses. In other wori?, ninke this half hour, be ginning at twenty minutes to twelve by my vatch, the grandest half hour of your life and bf-come a Christian. Vray for a regen erated spirit. Louis XIV, while walking in the garden at Versailles, met Mansaf-d. the treat architect, and the architect took off his hat before t he k jug. "Fut 011 your hat," sard the king, ".'or the evening is damp and cold.*' And Mansard, the architect, the rest of the evening kept on his hat. Tae dukes and marquises standing with bare heads be fore the king expressed their surprise at Mansard, but the king said, "I can make a duke or a marquis, but God only can make a Mansard. " And 1 say to you, my hearers, God only by His convincing andconverting grace can make a Christian, but He is ready this very half hour to accomplish it. Again ray test suggests a way of studying ? heaveu ?o that we can batter uudersttnvl it. The word "eternity*' that we handle so much is an immeasurable word. Knowing that we could not uutTyrstaud that word the Bible uees it only once. We say, "Forever and e^erf but how iong is "forever and everr" lam (rial; that ray text puts under ?our eyes heaven for thirty minutes. As when you would see a great picture yoa put a sheet of paper into a scroll and look through it. or join your fftiefinger to your thumb and loo'x through the circl6 between, } in 1 th^ picture becomes more intense, so this masterpiece of heaven by St. John' is more impressive wh .-n we take only thirty minutes of it at a time. No-v we have some thing that we can come nearer to graspin-, and it is a quiet heaven. W hen wo d^ourse a bout the multitudes of heaven it Sfcst be almost a nervous shock to those who have all their lives be^.j crowde \ by many peo ple and who want a quiet heaven. For the last thirty- live years I have b?en ranch ot the time in crowds and under public scrutiny and amid excitements, and I have sometimes thought for a few weeks after I reach heaven I would like to go down in some ouiet purl or tiii realm with a few friends and tor some little while try com parative solitude. V^'hea tbero are those whose hearing is s"? ceifcuite that they get ?o sat i>f action when you de>nub^ the crash of the eterna' orcb.tj.-trn. and t aey'TwtJike ing, as a good woman in Hudson, r^vY , said, after hearing in.* sp.-ak ot' the mignty chorus of heaven. ** That must be a great heaven, but what will become pt my p$or head?' Yes, tins half hour of my text Jt a ' still experience. "Ther^ was M.'ence in heaven for half an hour." You wilt find tbio inhabitants all at home.

"Let me stay here in this place ? where they nev?r an, where ther never suf fer, where they never pert." No, no! 9ur time is short, our thirty minutes are almost gone. Come oo 1 We muit get back to the earth before this half hour of heavenly silence breaks up, for in your mortal state you can* not endure the pomp and splendor and reso nance when this half hour of silence is ended. The day will come when yon oansee heaven in full blast, but not no*. I am now only showing you heaven at tf^j r.ullest half hour of all the eternities. Com ?S*u ! There is something in the celestial appearance which makes me think that the half hour of silence will soon be over. Yonier are the whits ^ horses being- hitched to c'lariota, au 1 yonder are seraphs tin^erin;* harps as if about to strike them into symphony, and youier ara conquerors taking do*va tro:u th j blua halls or hwvor th?* trunaoets of victory. Remember, we are mortal yet, and cannot endure the full roR of heavenly harmonies and cannot endure even tao sLlent heaven i for more than half an hour. Hark! the dock in <tt>e -tower of heaven l*;?ns to strike and the half hour is euded. Descend ! Come back! Corns dawn till your work is done! Shoulder a little longer your bur-lea?! Fi;ht a little Ion ?er your battles! Weap a little longer your griefs! And then take heaven, not in its dulilest half hour, but in its.| mightiest pomp, and instead of taking it for thirty minutes take it world without i-nd. j< ' But how will you spend the first half hour of ypur heavenly citizenship after you have gone in to stay?
