Death-Bed Repentance.
Not long since, a Congregational minister,
Yrlio had been forty years in the ministry,
said in my hearing : “ I have never, in all my
experience as a pastor, known of a single in
stance in which a repentance on what was
sup|>osed to be a death-bed, proved to lie of
any value whatever, after the person recover
ed." This was strong language. I involun
tarily excleimed :
*• Have you known of many such cases ?”
“ More than I dare remember, and as ma
ny more, perhaps when the person died, yes,
full as many more.*'
“Then did not the bitter failure of these
death-bed repentances to bear the test of
time shake your confidence in their value
under the tests of eternity ?”
“ It did. it does!" said the clergy man, with
tears in his e v es."
The conversation made a deep impression
on my mind. It was strong evidence, from a
quarter in which I least looked for it, of the
utter paltriness and insufficiency of fear as a
motive when brought to hear upon decisions
in spirital things. There seems to be no
words strong enough to stigmatize it in all
other affairs except spiritual. All ages, all
races, hold cowardice chief among vices. No
ble barbarians punished it with death. Even
■ ■civilization, the most cautiously legislated
for, does the same thing when a soldier shows
"“cowardice in the face of the enemy.” Lan
guage gathering itself up and concentrating
its force to desorilie base behavior can do no
more than to call it cowardly. No instinct
—of all the blessed t*dv guard of instincts
born with us seems in the outset a stronger
one than to Iw noble, one must be brave
almost in the cradle. The baby taunts or is
Xaunted by the accusation of being afraid,
nnd the sting of Ike t&Kut lies in the proba
bility of its truth. Fw i;t all men, alas ! is
born a certain s<d£.sh weakness, to which fear
‘Can address itself. Rv.t liow strange docs it
appear tlwat tliey wire wish to inculcate no
blest action, rise to most exalted spiritual
♦condition, should appeal To this lowestof mo
nivoa to help them. We believe that there
m e many death-bed repentances among hale,
hearty sinners, who are approached by the
same methods, stimulated by the same consi
'doratftwus, frightened by the same conceptions
•of possible future suffering, which so often
make the chamber of dying men dark with
terror. Fear rs fear all the same, whether its
■dread be for the next century, the closer the
♦enemy, the swifter it runs. This is all the
dinference. Let the enemy lie surely and
plainly removed, and in our instance it is no
more—as if it had never been done. Every
thought, word or action based upon it has
come to an end. I was reminded of the con
versation above quoted, by some observations
I once had of making at a Methodist camp
meeting. Much of the preaching and exhor
tation consisted simply and solely of urgent.
OTnp*>si*oned appeals to the people to repent—
not becan.se repentance is right; not because
'God is Iwe, and it is base not to love and
♦obey him:; not because godliness is in itself
tgrewt gain, -and sinfulness is, oven temporar
ily, ! >wss and ruin; hut because there is a
wralVi o*o*s which will inflict terrible and
unending suffering on the sinner : he is to flee
fo? his life from torments indescribable and
eternal, he is to call on Jesus, not to make
him holy, but to save him from woe; to res
cue him from frightful danger; all, and eve
rything else rs subordinate to the one selfish
idea of escaping future misery. The effect
•of these appeals, of these harrowing picture*,
on some oftlie young men women and children
ns.r.lmost too painful to he borne. They were
in a ’hysterical condition—weeping from
■sheer nervous terror, when the excitement
Iliad reached its highest pitch an elder rose
:nnd told the story of a wicked and unpeni
tent, man whom he had visited a few weeks
before. The man had assented to all that he
he told him of t.he necessity of repentance,
but said that he was not at leisure that day
to attend the class-meeting. He resolved
and promised, however, to do so the next
week. That very night, he was Taken ill
with a disease of the brain, and after three
days of unconsciousness died,
I would not like to quote here the empha
sis of application which was made of this
story to the terror of Urn weeping young peo
ple; under its influence several were led,
almost carried by force, to the anxious seat.
It was hard not to fancy the gentle Christ
looking down upon the scene with a pain as
great as that with which he yearned over Je
rusalem. 1 longed for some instant miracle
to be wrought on the spot, by which there
should come floating down from the peaceful
blue sky, through the sweet tree tops, some
of the living and serene words of balm from
his gospel. Theologians may speculate and
theorize, and good chistians may differ (they
always will) as to the existence, extent and
nature of future punishment; but the fact
remains indispdtnbly clear that, whether
there be less or more of it, whether it be of
this sort or that, fear of it is a base motive to
appeal to, a false motive to act? from, and a
worthless motive to trust in. Perfect love
does not know it; spiritual courage resents
it; the true Kingdom of Heaven is never tak
en by its violence. Somewhere (l wish I
knew where and I wish I knew from whos *
lips) 1 once found this immortal sentence. A
woman went through the streets of Alexan
dria bearing ajar of water and lighted torch,
and crying aloud, “ with this torch I will
burn up heaven, and with the water I will put
out hell, that God may he loved for himself
alone.”—“//. 77.” in Racine Agriculturist.
The Wisdom of Moses.
After having, in his farewell address, con
tained in Deuteronomy, warned his people
against all forms of idolatry; and having
time and again impressed on them the duty
of a moral life, he closes his paternal admo
nitions with the words of our text: “ The se
cret things belong to the Lord our God,”
which, transcribed in modern words, mean,
‘We do not know how the future life is con
stituted/
The Mosaic books contain three words
which forever reconcile it with every possible
progress of science and civilization. They
ore, “In the beginning God created Heaven
and earth”—in the beginning. When and
how this beginning was, neither science nor
theology will ever be able to answer. It is
one of the questions which will burn like the
thornbush that is never consumed.
And the second word is the answer to the
question, What is God ? ‘I am what lam !’
Let modern science, with its theory of evolu
tion and struggle for existence, advance as
far as its praiseworthy researches may allow,
it will be ordered to stand still for a final
cause which underlies the whole development,
and no better name can be given to that final
cause than ‘I am what I am,’ which again
translated iuto our modern mode of expres
sion, means : ‘The finite man can never grasp
and understand the infinite I’— Rev. Dr. LiU
linthal, o f Cin.
THE FARM
The Farm.
Many circumstances during the last few
years have combined to make farmers con
tented with their lot. Many of them have
learned the great lesson that while the few
get rich by speculation and chance the many
figure largely in the list of Failures and in
the Court of Bankruptcy ; and that while the
profits of farming are slow they are neverthe
less sure. Tims by a tithe no reasonable
man can dispute the Farm is coming to be
regarded as a sort of haven—a secure retreat
from the destructive storms that sweep over
the financial and commercial world.
Take for instance the financial effect on
merchants and farmers of the last months
blockade of mud. The farmer was forced to
stay at home—could not market his grain
and pork and could not buy from the mer
chant as usual, and hence could not pay
promptly the debts lie owed. Now mark the
result of this state of things. Because the
money produced on the farm is not set in
circulation at the time expected, the mer
chant’s shelves are piled high with goods
that lie must carry over until the next year
and as he bought them “on time” his bills
are falling due. He can neither sell for cash
nor collect what is owing to him. If that
la-ge note of his discounted by the bank is
not paid when due it goes to protest and the
merchant into Bankruptcy and away go the
hard earned savings of years, and all from
the seemingly slight disturbing cause of bad
roads for a mouth.
Now how does this state of things affect
the farmer. It puts him to inconvenience—
possibly compels him to sell his wheat at a
few cents a bushel less—his wife can't gel
the new bonnet in time for Christmas—the
children may have to wear the old shoes a
little longer, but it is warm and won’t hurt
them, and the old Imnnet may he made to
do another year, and perhaps by that time
the style will change so it will be all right,
and a real saving he made.
Although the weather is had there is much
work that a prudent farmer can manage to
be doing. If he cant market his pork he
can at least Ire feeding his cheap corn to the
pigs and make them a little fatter. In any
case the result to him is not bankruptcy and
ruin. He is master of the situation for he
has made, produced the Dollar which Trade
is bawling so lustily to have set in motion—
it is deposited in a bank not likely to fail,
his pig-pen, barn or granary, and he can wait
until it stops raining. lie proposes to set
that mighty Dollar in motion just as soon as
the mud dries up or it freezes up. He can
wait for he belongs to the independent class,
the producers of wealth.
Again compare fanning with mining.—
Take for instance the State of Nevada where
gold and silver mines and cultivated farms
lie side by side. Statistics show beyond
question that, money invested in farms pays
a better and surer return than that invested
in mines. For one paying gold mine there
arc fifty that cither do not pay, or totally
ruin the owners. On the contrary there is
hardly one farm that docs not pay a fair
return and many that pay richly for good
management.
In the fact that these great lessons of the
worth of the farm are being learned and acted
upon lies our hope of better times. There is
going to be less and less talk among the
boys of “leaving the farm” and the tide of
migration of young men from the over-crowd
ed professions and pursuits in the city to the
fertile fields of the great South-West, will*
rise yet higher.
Peace and plenty come only by persistent
prudent toil. To expect outside influences
to better one’s social or pecuniary condition
is a delusion and a snare. It is an old story
but a true one that the first battle of the Re
public was fought by farmers. It was the
“embattled Farmer” who “fired the shot
heard round the world.” The farmer who
feeds the world will always rank equal with
those who house and clothe it.
There is truth as well as poetry in the
lines of Whittier:
O Painter of the fruits and flowers !
We thank thee for thy wise design.
Whereby these human hands of ours
lu Nature's garden work with thine.
And thanks that from our daily need
The joy of simple faith is born ;
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold, and knaves their power;
Let fortune’s bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field, or trains a flower,
Or Plants a tree, is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blest;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who toils to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
And soon or late, to all that sow,
The time of harvest shall be given;
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall grow,
If not on earth, at last in heaven.
—Racine Agriculturist.
Petroleum Exports. —Five hundred and
fifty million gallons of petroleum were export
ed from this country from 1866 to 1871, which
brought an average price of 34 cents a gallon,
amounting to $187,000,000. From 1871 to
1876, covering the same period of five years,
there were shipped 1,100,000,000, or twice as
much oil, which sold at the average price of
13 cents per gallon, realizing $165,000,000.
The increased exports netted less money by
$22,000,000 than the shipments of the first
named period.

Irish Potatoes.
In planting potatoes, we presume that
your ground has been thoroughly broken up,
the next consideration is what manure to
use and how. Fresh stable manure, mixed
with partially decomposed straw, or leaves,
is very good. Some prefer fresh manure for
early potatoes. It forces the roots, gives
them strength as well as power to resist cold.
Some have been successful in the use of wood
ashes. A good quality of guano does well.
The best potatoes ever made by the editor
was by thoroughly spading rich, good ground,
opening the trenches, spading well rotted
manure in the trenches, putting in the pota
toes, cutting them into two or three pieces,
fill pretty much the trench with well rotted
wheat straw, and soil on top of this. After
the potatoes sprouted through the ground,
the weeds were chopped out, a wet season
selected, and the ground well covered with
leaves. The potatoes were not interfered
with until fall. Upon the removal of the
leaves the ground was moist, the crop abund
ant. and the potato mealy and fine.- It
shoul 1 have been stated that during the sea
son, the vines were topped. The scrapings
of hog pens. and hog hair, is also good for
Irish potatoes. The ground perhaps wa9
covered some fourteen inches with leaves. —
Ground for potatoes should be light or loamy.
Let it be made so. The Irish potato is a
valuable, profitable crop. Some persons
plant as follows: Turn up a bed with a
turn plow about a9 high as you can, a bed
four feet wide, open a trench with a weeding
hoe some six inches deep, put in your ma
nure, and put your potatoes on the manure,
then draw the dirt from the furrow of the
next row, covering the potatoes some five
inches. Continue this until your bed is full
and level it off. After the potatoes have
come up, and in fact, after giving them the
necessary work, a covering of pine straw,
leaves, or some kind of straw, will prove
beneficial.— Ag. Dcp. At. Const.
What is a Compost Heap?
The Baltimore Sun says : “We sometimes
hear the inquiry made—and among farmers,
too—what is a compost heap ? We answer
that it is a collection of decomposable mate
rials to undergo fermentation and decompo
sition to be used in the fertilization of the
land. It must be composed of weeds, spoiled
hay, straw, leaves, woods-earth, ashes, soap
suds, the hair, blond and offal of slaughtered
animals, carcasses of dead "animals, fish,
dish-water, chamber ley, coarse stable ma
nure, swamp muck and other materials ordi
narily thrown away and wasted. Such is a
compost heap, and no farmer should be with
out something of the kind from which to pay
back to his soil the fertility of which it has
been deprived in the culture of crops; and
now is a good time to be commencing one.—
If the farmer is not able to purchase other
and more expensive fertilizers he can at least
be scraping together all such decomposable
materials as are lying around loose in every
direction, and be making just such a heap.—
In the north nothing of that kind that can he
thus appropriated and utilized is lost, and
it is rather a poor commentary on the farm
ers of the south to see the vast quantities of
worn-out land lying idle and perfectly use
less, when there are so many materials ready
at hand to reclaim and render them product
ive.
In building a compost heap it is well to
add a little lime occasionally to hasten de
composition of the coarser materials, hut not
to apply it in such quantity ns will drive off
the ammonia. In heaps containing much
animal matter (and therefore the most easily
decomposed) considerable caut ion should be
observed and but little lime applied, otherwise
the ammonia will be rapidly evaporated and
lost. A bushel of unslacked lime, well-incor
porated with the heap, is amply sufficient for
a cord of decomposable matter; and then, if
the liquid manure from the stable-yard be
carefully saved in a pit for the purpose, and
occasionally added thereto, the value of the
heap will be considerably enhanced. On
almost every farm there are enough of such
materials, if properl}' utilized, to prevent
deterioration of the land, and the farmer who
neglects to so appropriate them shows a de
gree of carelessness and (we were going to
say) a lack of common sense not very com
mendable ; so that every farmer should make
it a point to build up one or more of these
heaps on his premises.”

Toombs as a Fighter.
WHAT GENERAL LONG STREET HAS TO SAY
ABOUT OUli 808.
In ft conversation with General Longotreet,
concerning the confederate generals with
whom lie was associated, lie said :
“Do you know General Robert Toombs,
of your state, was one of the bravest and
most dashing soldiers that I ever saw on any
field ?*’
“lie was pretty hard to manage, was he
not ?”
“Yes, sir; at first. He had literally no
idea of subordination. He was born to rule,
and hail been carrying out the purposes of
his birth pretty well, up to the time lie enter
ed the army. It was hard for him to give up
his lordly habits even then.
“ I remember a characteristic instance in
which General Toombs figured. I sent out
his brigade on picket duty once. Of course,
the discretion of placing the brigades was in
the hands of the proper officers. Toombs
had been out that day dining with a Mary
lander named Dennis, who had been one of
his colleagues during his congressional ca
reer. They had good old wine for dinner,
and Toombs was riding home feeling like a
lord.
“Suddenly he ran against his brigade on
picket duty. He was very much angered.
“Who put you here he shouted.
He was answered that it was the orders
from headquarters.
“Well, by G—d. my orders are that yon
come back to camp. I'm not going to have
all the picket duty of the army put on my
brigade. Come along !*’
And sure enough, he led them back to
their camp.
As soon as I heard of it, l of course order
ed him under arrest.
As was the custom, he was simply ordered
to ride in the rear of his brigade. I thought
everything was going off all right, when sud
denly an officer came to me and told me t hat
we should have a revolt in the army, if I did
not interfere. I asked him what he meant
and he told me that General Toombs was
riding along in the rear of his brigade, and
exhorting the soldiers against the oppression
that had been practiced toward them and
him. My informant said that the soldiers
were getting very restless.
I at once ordered General Toombs back to
Gordonsville. I kept him there a day or two.
when having received a very hand some letter
from him. I ordered him to the front again.—
He came as fast as his horse could carry
him.
b hen lie reached ns. Gen. and invsclf
were together consulting about the opening
of a battle, which was just then pending. As
Gen. Toombs rose up. and saluted, I stated
that I would take great pleasure in sending
a courier with orders restoring him to his
command. lie spoke up rapidly and said
that as a charge was imminent he should
like to head it. and hoped t hat he might be
the bearer of the orders himself.
lof course assented. In a few moments
Toombs’ brigade passed us. hurrying to the
charge, and Toombs flying in the front like a

A Good Temperance Tale.
From Ohio comes a capita! temperance
story. Judge Quay, the temperance lectur
er, in one of his efforts there, got off the
following :
4 All of those who in you'll acquire a habit
of drinking whiskey, at fort y years will he
total abstainers or drunkards. No one can
use whiskey for years in moderation. If
there is a person in the audience before tne
whose experience disputes this, let him make
it known. 1 will account for it, or acknowl
edge that I am mistaken.'
A tall, large man arose, and folding his arms
in a dignified manner across his breast, said :
* I offer myself as one whose own experience
contradicts your statement.’
‘Areyou a moderate drinker?’ asked the
Judge.
4 1 am.’
‘llow long have you drank in modera
tion ?’
‘Forty years.’
‘And you were never intoxicated?’
4 Never.’
4 Well.’ remarked the Judge, scanning his
subject close from head to foot, ‘yours is a
singular case, yet I think it is easily account
ed for. lam reminded by it of a little storv.
A colored man, with a loaf of bread and a
flask of whiskey, sat down to dine by the
bank of a clear stream. In breaking the
bread, some of the crumbs dropped into the
water. These were eagerly seized and eaten
by the fish. That circumstance suggested
to the colored man, the idea of dipping the
bread in the whiskey and feeding it to t hem,
lie tried it; it worked well. Some of the
fish ate it, became drunk, and lay helpless on
the water. By this stroke of strategy he
caught a great number. But in the stream
was a large fish very unlike the rest. He
partook freely of the bread and whiskey, but
with no perceptible effect.; lie was shy of
ever}’ effort of the colored man to take it.
‘He resolved to have it at all hazards,
that he might learn its name and nature. —
He procured a net. and after much effort
caught it, carried it to a neighbor, and asked
his opinion of the matter. The other survey
ed the wonder for a moment, and then said,
4 1 understand this case. That fish is a
mullet h<*ad ; it hasn’t got any brains.*
‘ln other words.’ added the judge, ‘alcohol
affects only the bran, and of course those
having none may drink without injury !’
The storm of laughter that followed, drove
the moderate drinker suddenly from the
bouse.
