was the first stone that the Lord
said should be put into the breast
plate of the High Priest, a breast
plate tilled with gems and gold that
he wore in the worship of the Jewish
Church. 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

each other. Hence, as every good
funner knows, clover turned under is
an excellent preparation for wheat.
