The . Rejected Stone. ' j
1 have heard a story I cannot tell wheth
er it is true or not out of some of the Jew
ish rabbis ; it is a tale concerning the text :
"The stone which the builders refused, the
same has became the headstone of the com
er." It is said that when Solomon's temple
was building all the stones were brough
from the quarry, ready cut and fashioned,
and there was marked'on all the blocks the
place where they were to be put."" Among
the stones was a very curious on"; it seem
ed of no describable shape, it appeared un
fit for any portion of the building. They
tvhd it at this wall but it would -not fit;
VfcQ ti-; it ir nnnthor. but it could not
be accomplished; so, vexed and angry, they
: Tho tpmrde was so many
I I 1 1 V V ' J w ' 1
years building that the stone became eoverea
With moss, and grass grewsfftmnd it. Every
bv lano-bed at the stone ; they
Mul'Snlnmnn was wise, and . doubtless all
the other stones was right : but as for that
1.1, wl- i Vwitr l-nirht oa woll spnd it back to
tin. (iiinrrv for it was meant for nothm
Vrnr fCtov vpar rolled on. and the poor stone
ii- the builders constantly
refused it. The eventful day came when
the temple was to be finished and opened,
nnl tho multitude was assembled to eee the
sight. The builders said, "" Where is the
topstone? "Where is the pinnacle ?" They
little thought where the crowning marble
was, until one said, "Perhaps that stone
widen the the builders refused is meant to
bo the' topstone." They then took it, and
hoisted it to the top of "the house ; and as it
reache 1 the summit they found it well
sidanted to the place. Loud hosannas made
the welkin ring,-"as the stone which the
builders refused thus became the headstone
of the corner. So it is with Jesus Christ.
The builders cast him away. He was a
plebeian; lie was a man of poor extraction
ho was a man who was acquainted with sin
ners, who walked in poverty and meanness;
hence the worlUlv-wise ciespiseu nun. u-.
when God shall gather in all things that are
in heaven and that are in earth, then Christ
shall be the glorious consummation of all
tilings.
"Christ reign- in Ileav n th topmost s one,
And well deserves the praise."
He shall be exalted; he shall be honored;
his name shall endure aslong asthe sun,
and all nations shaU be blessed in him, yea,
..ii cl,ol1 .oil him blessed. IleC. C.

The Land vs. The Sea.
Tlie Boston! Advertiser says:1 EucfUnd is
gradually approaching America. If the
process which has been going on for many
hundreds oi years contmues uncneeKca t ior
manv thousands, the inhabitants of the
State of Labrador many look across the
gradually; narrowing waste of waters in tne
year of odir Lord 1 1 ,87 1 , and se the west
coast of England so near that the Atlantic
CD . . 1
will be reduced to a strait. It is a well
known fact that the sea is encroaching slow
ly upon the east coast of England, and that
on tne west the land is gaming in me sea.
The latest startling reminder of - this is a
landslip at Whithy, a town on the sea to

that their real estate was about to be "con

tory to the owners. The alarm spead, and
bv moonlight the people prepared to remove

the whole of the village graveyard had been

cliff. " Foutnnately the motion of the caving
earth was so slow that there was no loss of
life, but the destruction of property was
great. It is eighty-three years since a
similar slip occurred'near Whithy, but else
where on the coast the progress of the sea
has been greater and not less preeeptible be
cuase unmarked by extensive caving like
that which has just taken place. On old
Yorkshire maps are still to be seen, beyond
the present coast line, the names of a dozen
nlnpPB "lost in the sea." and authentic record
exists that Hornsea, now a coast town, was
A,lf.n ton miles inland. A similarly hostile:
movement of the ocean is destroying with
irresistible attacks a portion of the coast of
New Jersey. ,

Legal Witticisms.
In tho Albany Law Journal we find these
little chirpings:
"The remarks of an exchange, 'that many
of our successful lawyers commenced life as
preachers, is gracefully corrected bv one ot
the legal gentlemen referred to, who hegs
leave to state that he began life as an infant.
A country justice of the peace, on having
his attention called to the fact, as he was
about to enter judgment in a -certain case,
that he had not jurisdiction on account of
the amount involved being over two hun
dred dollars, promptly responded: 'The
n,.- bo thnuo-ht, of that, and discovered a
reined vv The Court will enter judgment for
tl. fnll nmnnnt,. ad then 1S5UO tWO CjCCil-

In a recent action against the corporation
of Canterburv, -ingland, to recover uama-
ges for injuries received oy tne piainuu, uc
havinc been thrown irom nis carriage in im-nio-htlime
by coming in contact with a pile
- .. . . .1 . U 4-
of stones leit in the highway, tne somew uai
singular defence was set up that 'the acci-
n-i-.nl -! nnt bavo occurred m the day
time, and that, as darkness was the act ot
God, so was the accident.' The Lord Chiei
Justice is said to have ruled against this
point with some warmth.
Some years since, while a judge, who now
occupies a very high judicial position in the
State, was holding circuit court in oneui wc
western counties, a case of trivial character
was called on. His honor, somewhat 'riled,'
remarked that such suits, instead of taking
up the time of the court, would be more pro
nerlv disposed of by submitting the same to
a jury ot old women. ine plulIlull, .moi

After breaking and subsoiling, I harrow
the ground well, and then lay - off tho rows
three and a half to four feet apart, by run

plant the potatoes about eighteen inches
apart in the rows.
The culture is very simple, but must be
done in time. As soon as the plants are all
up, the ground ought to be stirred, either
with a cultivator, or in a small patch with
the hoe. Wheu the plants have reached
seven to eight inches, th.'y ought to be hoed
again and tilled well. This is the last work

the property of adhesiveness, and they have
but little auinity for water, which escapes
from them almost as soon as it falls, 'ihey

which are ditfused through them; they are
loose in their texture, and may be plowed
at any time with equal advantage, provided
tlie sowing or planting is to follow imme
diately. .
As clav soils are much benefitted by a
mixture of sand, so likewise are sandy soils
oreatlv improved by the addition ot clay,
yet in'a much higher degree ; for though it
would never pav, as a general rule, to add
sand to clay, yet the audition of a lew loads

feuch a dressing on a light, crawling land
is more than equivalent to any equal quanti

which are essential to a good soil ; and that
will always be found the best, which has

Sandy soils are improved by the frequent
use of a" heavv roller; it cannot be used too
often. They require to be made more com

Acre. An acre is a quantity of land con
taining one hundred and sixty square rods
or perches; four thousand eight huudred
and forty square yards; and forty-three
rl tiv hundred and six tv square
feet. This is the English atatute acre. Axx a
measuring an acre by yards, the iuual prac- -tice
is to trace off seventy yards in length '
and seventy in width ; this in a rough way
may be consiaeren near enougu 101 iuwpw
practical purposes in laying out a farm?
but as seventy yaras eacu way ivm
thousand nine hundred yards, they e-xceed
one acre by fifty square yards. To deter

will be an acre wauting a few inches, btill
greater accuracy will be attained by meas
uring off two hundred and nine feet one way
and "two hundred and eight feet five and
one eight inches the other. This will be
precisely a square acre, or exceeding it only
two-sevenths of a square foot. Tim acre of
Scotland contains six thousand one huudred
and fifty-one and two-fifths square yards.

The French arpent or acre is nearly equal
to the Scottish acre. The Irish acre is seven

Be a MaS. Foolish spending is the
father of poverty. Do not be ashamed of
work, and hard work. Work for best sal
siries or wages you can get, but work for
half price rather than be idle. Be your own
master, and do not let society or fashion
swallow up vour individuality hat, coat
and boots. L)o not eat up or wear out all
you earn. Compel your selfish body to
suare something for profits saved. Be
stingy to your own. appetite, but mercilui
to others' necessities. Help others and ask
no help for yourself. See that you are
proud. Let vour pride be of the right kind,
lie too proud" to be lazy ; too proud to give
up without conquering every difficulty: too
croud to wear a coat that you cannot afford
to buy ; too proud to be in company , that
vou 'cannot keep with in expenses;, too
proud to lie, or steel or cheat ; too proud to
hi
be stincv.
The Sexton and the Doctob. -A good
Massachusetts doctor met a sexton in the
street one day. After the usual salutation,
the doctor began to cough.
"Whv, doctor." said the sextion, "you
have got a cold. How long have you
that 'r"
'Look here. Mr. Sexton,' said the doctor,
with a show of indignation, "what is your
charge for interment
'One dollar," was. the reply.
"Well'Vontinued he, -'just come into my
office, and I will pay it. I don't want to
have you round, and bo anxious about my
htaltll." . , i V
The sextion was soon even with him, how
ever. Turning round to the doctor, he re
plied. "Ah, doctor, I cannot afford to bury you
vet. Business has never been so good as
it has been since you began to practice." -
