Now this other stone, of a bright yellow color, is Topax, and was the second gem in the first row. Each gem was set in gold of the best quality and workmanship. Here is another stone called a Carbuncle.” “Oh, what a splendid dark color, and how it is polished ! See, papa, I can look away down into the stone, and it glows like little bits of fire in it.” “Now hero is an Emerald.” “Greeu as grass,” said Harry. “That’s a beauty,” said his father. “Now let us see what else is here." So he took oat a paper and un wrapped it very carefully, and at first Harry could see nothing iu it. Presently*, something glittered like glass, and he said, “Oh, a diamond I like that in mania’s ring; a real dia mond, papa!” “Yes, my sou, and a diamond was the sixth stone in the breast plate.” “Have you any more, ;»Apa f* “No, Harry. I should have seven more to make the twelve gems used.” “The plate must have been so beautiful, papa, all set in gold and glittering gems. You have told me so much about the Jewish worship, the High Priest’s splendid dress, and the graud and solemn service, with the jierfume of the incense fllliug all the air arouud, that I often wish 1 had been a little boy then. It seems to me I could have been m good." His lather smiled, and said, “My dear boy, tlie Jewish ritual was grand, solemn and beautiful, but was only a type of what yon now enjoy. The Jewish boy had to look forward hundreds ol years to a coming Christ, upon whom to tlx his faith aud holies. We look back to the dear Savionr that did come aud suffer and die for us upon the cross, to save qs from hell, if we love him. It is really much easier to be a good boy now than then." , “How so, papa f* “Why sow you can go right to Jesus, and tell him all yoqr wants and wishes; right into his ear you can wbisjier your own prayers. The Jew had to stay away from tlie most holy place; nobody but the High Priest could go there. Little chil ciren had no Saviour to whom to tell their nightly prayer.” “1 did not think of that, iupa.~ ' “Then the robe of the I*riest was rich aud costly rand flue, but the robe of Christ is white and sixties*. It is called ‘the robe of righteous ness,’ and cost far more than the Priest’s did, even the precious blood of Jeans! The breast plate of the Priest glittered with gems anil gold, and was beautiful to see, but we have a breast plate far more bounti ful, which is called ‘the breast plate of Faith and Love.’ It shall glitter anil shine when earthly gems and gold shall fade aud sink to dust! The Christian church has ftir greatei privileges than tlie Jewish |>eople bad. Children have the Sablmtb- school, good books, churches, kind parents and teachers to teach them the way to heaven, where the Jewish boy had none of these things. So I think, Harry, that there is uo excuse for children now to neglect being Christian children, for they have far more light and knowledge than the Jews had, and God will hold them responsible for the right or wrong use that they make of these great privileges.” “Well, dear pa;»a, 1 know all you say is true, and I am trying to lie a Christian boy.” Harry kissed his father and went out to play. B. Boys, be Careful. Be careful, because you never know upon what tiny circumstances may be poised your whole future lives, their success or failnre.’ It is told of Lafitb, the famous French banker, that he owed his rise to a very trivial actiou. He went, when a poor boy, to beg a situation from a rich merchant in Paris. His appli cation was refused. On leaving the bouse, he chanced to see a pin ou the ground, and notwithstanding his grief aiul disappointment, he stoo[>ed down, picked it np and carefully put it in his coat. Next day he received a letter from the merchant, saying that a situation hail beeu made for him. The merchant had observed his care of the pin, and was struck by it as an indication of character that was valuable. Laflth became clerk, senior clerk, partner, and head of the firm. The merchant was right. Trifles are indicative of character. Show me the boy who speuds his time at home lonugiug about the steps, teas ing his little sisters and brothers, setting the dog on the cats, grum bling wheu asked to do anything, relnctant at his lessons, and only roused to some appearance of healthy vitality iu prospect of a dog fight or a rabbit hunt—such a boy, it is not hard to foresee, will make an unsuc cessful man of business. You will see him at twenty-five, out of em ployment, having tried aud failed at half a dozeu different callings, still banging round his father's house, still surly to his mother and sisters, useless aud uuamiabls aud soured. Boys, be careful. Take care wbat habits you are fornnug. ~ -, Miscellaneous. The Cultivation of Wheat Any one who has paid any atten tion to the wheat product of the United States, comparing the yield per acre in the past years with wbat It Is at present, can not fail to be struck with the fret that iu the best wheat growing regions of the older States the prodoot of grain per acre for a long time steadily declined, but that recently, through more jndioions cul tivation, the average yield, taking into consideration the area under cul tivation, has gradually but slowly in creased, although it has not yet reached, except in rare instances, tlie acreable product of the original soil. A quarter of a century ago the ave rage product of wheat in Maryland did not much exceed seven bushels to the acre. Since then the average in good seasons has risen to fifteen bushels, thus more than doubliug the crop. A similar decline and a simi lar iuqwovemeut is observable in the reports from all the older States since fertilisers have been more liberally employed, and a better system of cul tivation has taken the place of the old slovenly practice. But we are far from having reached the maxi- i mum yield. There are occasional in stances of the yield reaching thirty and thirty-five. bushels to the acre. But these instances are few as com pared with those which indicate re turns of teu, twelve ami fourteen bushels. The same results art- ob servable in the’Western State*. The best wheat growing rwgioux there are losing their former fertility, ami the wheat fields from which the heaviest supplies are drawu for sale in the Chi cago aud St. Ia>uta markets are those that have been newly opened to wheat culture. In short, the great wheat graiiary of the United States has been steadily moving further west ward and the cost of trau*|iort4tion to the eastern markets has increased iu proiNWtion to the distance* of the fields from which the wheat crops are drawn. The advantage to the i»h!er States lies in this—that they are occupied by a dense imputation; that the best wheat markets, whether few home consumption or forex|mrUitioa, which an* in their midst, are easily access)- w bit- both by rail ami water, ami the cost of trans|M»rtation is light, whilst the wheat offered for sale brings the highest market price-*. All these cir cumstance* are in favor of the wheat grower* of the older States, and even now teml to counterbalance the heav ier acreable yield of the newly tqs-uisl Western State*. But tlie re t* no earthly reason why the product in the Atlantic State* should not be equal to that of western soils. Land* are never exhausted except by rare lessiten* ami improvidence. When farmer* take everything off their land, even to the straw, and pot lit tle or nothing back upon it, at course by constant cropping the land will wear out. lint the lands of England and Germany ami France have be»*i under tillage for a thousand year*— we say nothing of the lands of Chi na—and since science has been brought to liear on the cultivation of the soil, the wheat crop in uutnerom* instances has been brought np to for ij-five bushels to the acre, and the average, except in bad seasons, ha* rarely fallen below twentj-fire. The climate in England e»(ieci*Uy, Is moreover, greatly against the farmer, whilst with ns it is exceptionable good. It is, therefore, but fair toaa> that if we pursue their method* ami lime aud and fertilise as liberally a* they do, that our crops should be at least equal to theirs. And, now, what have we to do to bring about this result f In the first place we must steadily pursue a sy* tem of cultivation and a system of mauurtug, which instead uf robbing annually the soil of a part of its plant food, slioubl add to it more than has been carried off in the crop*. We know by the analytical tables that have Uen so frequently given, that the essential constituents of a good wheat soil are potash, soda, phos phate of lime, carbonate of lime and sillicn. We throw out the sillies, fur that is su|>en»baiidant!y found in almost every’ soil. We have tbeu to look principally for potash, soda, phosphate of lime aud carbouate of lime, if these are present in good qualities, aud the soil is not too light, the wheat product is hound to l»e good in a good season and uudei* cleanly and thorough preparatory til lage. If these are deficient in quan tity, or if auy oue of them is missing, the crop will be light. Under such circumstances what is to be done f One of two means may be resorted to—First, liming and moderate ma nuring until the land will bring good crops of clover. This crop turned under will, in rotting, give to the soil all the constituents that a crop of wheat requires, for strange to say, the const it in-lit* of the ash of clover and those of the ash of wheat, both stem and graiu, ran parallell with each other. Hence, as every good funner knows, clover turned under is an excellent preparation for wheat. But this process would take several years to accomplish.
