DEAD UNTO SIN.
Is it possible for us in this life, to at
tain to that perfection of Christian char
acter, wherein we shall have a consci
ousness that we walk with our Savior,
sinless?
Dead unto Sin ! How these words do
echo through the chambers of the soul,
awaking it as to the immediate joys of
Heaven ! Dead unto Sin ? O what vi
sions too bright, too glorions for earth,
flash upon the fettered and earth-bound
spirit !
We look away to the bliss of Heaven ;
wo breathe its atmosphere of untainted
purity ; we behold its unsullied holiness
—spirits robed in righteousness—the
Sinless One, the Savior of a fallen world,
crowned with the Father's glory, with
arms extended, saying, "Corné,"— the
Father's smile and love sanctifying all ;
and, while the words still tremble pn
our lips, "May I come ? Can I come?"
wo feel the serpent-coils of sin still
around onr hearts, and with tenr-flllod
eyes, we can only say, "Jesus Thou
knowest we would come, but Thou
alone canst bring us."
We would be free from sin !
We would be wholly thine J

THE WORKS OF MAN.
When wo look at the monuments of
human greatness, and the powers of hu
man iutelleot, all that genius has inven
ted, or skill executed, or wisdom matur
ed, or industry achieved, or labor ac
complished ; and when we trace these
through the successive gradations of
human advancement what are they T—
On these are founded tho pride, gtory,
dignity of man. And what are they?—
Compared with tho most insignificant
works of God, they are nothing, less
than nothing. Tho mightest works of
man are daily and hourly becoming ex
tinct. The boasted theories of religion,
morals, government, which, took the
wisdom, the ingenuity of ages to invent
have been proved to be shadowy theo
ries only. Genius has wasted itself in
vain ; tho visions it has raised have
vanished at the touch of truth. Nothing
is left but tho melancholy uncertaincy,
that things human are imperfect, and
must fail and decay. And man himself,
whose works are so fragile, whoro is he ?
Tho history of his works is the history
of himself. He existed ; he is gone.
Sr ARKS.
A Faithful Bishop.
Goorgo IV., wishing to take the sacra
ment, shortly before his death sent for
the Bishop of Winchester. Tho royal
messenger having loitered on his way,
a considerable time elapsed before tho
Bishop's arrival, and bis Majesty, on
leurniug the cause of so unusual a delay,
rebuked bis servant sharply, and hav
ing peremptorily dismissed him from
his service, turned to the Bishop, and
said he was now ready for the sacred
offices. His Lordship then, with digni
fted calmness, remarked that while any
irritation remained towards a follow
creature he must decline to administer
tho ordinances ; and tho King, sudden
ly recollecting himself, sent for the of
fending party, and cordially pardoned
him, saying to tho Bishop. "My Lord,
Aon aro right!"
Acknowledging God.
Popo Adrian blasphemously put the
inscription upon tlie college he had built,
"Utrecht planted me, Lourain watered
mo, but Cfcsar gave the increase."—
Upon which some one wrote underneath,
"It seems God did nothing for man."
-Though Christ were born a thou-
sand times in Bethlehem, and not in
thee, thou remainest, nevertheless, eter-
nally lost.
-Always have a wcJrd with God be-
fore you enter into conversation with
men.

Transplanting Trees—The Best Time
and Way.
For most trees, especially fruit tree?, do
time is more propitious for transplanting than
the autumn. If the leaves are green they
may be either growing, or not yet in process
of decay ; the difference between these two
stages must be determined by experience and
a knowledge of the nature of the tree. The
state of the soil and weather is a much more
important matter than the condition of the
trees. The time should not be chosen in the
temptests of the late autumn nor the rains of
the late summer. In the one case the new
ly transplanted tree* mhy bo strained, the
roots loosened from the soil, and so injured or
laid open to ii jury from mice and mole as to
effectually kill them ; and in the other the
heavy rains may produce tho same result.-
be transplanted at almost any
time, as has been done in London and Paris
at tho World's exhibitions, where fall grown
}ree8 have been borne from one locality to
another without injury or any apparent det
riment to their growth.
If growing and full leaved, the leaves ought
tobe taken from the twigs, otherwise the
rapid evaporation of moisture from the roots
by means of these huge lungs will certainly
kill them. By the first of October in the
northern sections of the country our fruit
trees have ceased growing—such as cherries,'
plums, pears, etc. If the leaves are removed
they may be transplantad without injury.
But the soil to which they are transplanted
should be mellow, friable, and fine, so that it
can be sifted well fn among the roots and
leave
The roots should also be covered and the
stems buried to a depth of one or perhaps
two feet, with a mound covering the roots,
to be removed iû the spring .—Scientific Amer

Seed Wheat.
A correspondent of the Canada Fanner , in
discussing the subject of wheatgrowing makes
several points which may prove valuable tc
some of our readets. The selecting aud pre
paration of seed is of great importance, yet
rarely receives any attention.
Seed wheat should be tested by immersion
in water as the imperfect grains will float on
the surface, and is thus severed from that
suitable for sowing. These floating grains
are infested with fungi or parasites, and
though lights enough to float, have still suffi
cient vitality to germinate and produce the
pests which diminish the quantity and vitiate
the quality of the wheat crop. After the
floating grains
off, give the seed a good coating of lime,
which will render innoxious any emut which
may adhere to the wheat These precautions
taken as it is assumed that a crop of clean
wheat may bo safely relied upon. The sug
gestion is worthy of a trial.

O
What do you do with Soap Suds. P
There Is a large quantity of plant food of
the choicest kind in a barrel of soap ;and it
is more valuable after it has been dissolved in
the wash-tub j thin if it were applied to the
soil in the garden io an • undiluted condition.
For this reason, soap suds is an excellent
fertilizer. The Scottish Farmer says
subject: "
fit for being
the easiest and most expeditious manner pos
sible, they are nevertheless highly beneficial
vegetable feeders, as well ns useful insect
preventives. Hence they should never be
wasted, more especially by parties having
gardens, as their application to «be ground,
whether in winter or Bummer, will show bene
ficially not only on ordinary vegetable crops,
but also on berry bushes, shrubs, border
flowers, and even window potplants; while
poured or syringed over roses, cabbages, Ac.,
they will prevent, or at least mitigate, the
mischievous doings of the green fly and
caterpi'lars. "

French Method of Raising Tomatoes.
A s soon as a cluster of flow era is visible, the
stem is topped down to tjefe cluster, so that
the flowers terminate the stem. The effect
is ; that the sap is immediately impelled into
the two buds next below the cluster, which
soon push strongly and produce another clus
ter of flowers each. When these are visible,
the branch to which they belong is also top
ped down to their level ; aud this is done
five times successively. By this means the
plants become stout, dwarf bushes, not above
eighteen inches high. Ia order to prevent
their falling over, sticks
1
strings are
stretched horizontally along the rows, so as to
keep the plants erect. In addition to this,
all the later els that have no flowers, and after
the fifth topping, a 1 laterals, whatsoevsr, are
nipped off. In this way the ripo sap is direc
ted into the fruit, which acquires a beauty,
size and excellence unattainable by otuer
means.

To Cure a Kicking Horse.

the driver in holding up the foot whenever
the horse trios to kick, but discouraging

avoid any risk of being involved in many
times. With the etriog thus in your hand,
and a patient determination under all cir

Management of Butter.
Great care is required in salting or season
iug, whether for a distant or a hume market.
Over salted butter is not only less palatable
to the ta te but less healthful than fresh sweet
butter. The same care is needed as to the
box in which it is to be packed, whether it
be a firkin in which it is to remain till used,
or only in the box to take to market as fresh
lump butter. The best and richest flavo ed
article will be spoiled by sending it to fhe
