And you, who have not yet given your hearts to the Lord, sutler, we entreat you, the word of exhortation. What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain tho whole world, and lose his own soul T Consider the uncer- tainty of life; and how fearful a thing it is to resist or trifle with the visita- tions of the Spirit of God. Think upon the compassion and love -f your Almighty Saviour, and the privileges of which you are depriving yourselves, ...... . . .it. whilst losing the unspeaivaoie joy oi his salvation. Turn ye, at the voice of him, against whom you mav have mercy endureth for ever. These great truths were proclaimed under the old covenant. But it is m the glorious gospel that their harmony is clearly unfolded, and thc way revealed where by fallen man may be made a par taker, through faith, of thc righteous ness of God. The offering of our Lord .Jesus Christ, as the sacrifice for sin, is the manifestation of thc holiness and love of God, in which He, the un changeably Just, proclaims Himself " the justilier of him that believeth in Jesus." Alay we deeply ponder the " The Word was made flesh ;" and accept with humble thanks- giviug all that belongs to His relation to us as mah, touched with the feeling f our infirmities, yet without sin; and all that is included in His attributes as God, ono with the Father, blessed for ever. From age to age the suffer- ings and death of Christ have been a hidden mystery, and a rock of offence to the unbelief and pride of man's fallen nature, yet to the humble pern- tent, whose heart is broken under the convictmg power ot the Spirit, lite is revealed in that death.

We disavow all TH-ofcsscd spirituality that is divorced from faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, crucified for us without the gates of Jerusalem. The work of the Holy Spirit is to convince of sin and to testify of Jesusj to lead in that course of spiritual experience in which wc shall more and more understand , the words. "Unto vou therefore which believe He is precious." : The Lord Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh nnto the Father but bv Him. Through Him acceptable worship is to be offered - i from broken and contrite hearts. He is iho Shonherd who leadeth the sheen into the pastures of life, and who, in tender compassion, secketh them that have gone astray. To him the poor, the sick, the weary, may freely come, iinicwi, tl.A lnn of liffi and the 11V J.O V ..vv I fountain of living waters. It is his ou me American comment..

The disappointment, however, is sometimes in the other direction. The oat crop is light in the Eastern, Middle, and South Atlantic States. It is not a full average in Michigan, Wis consin and Iowa. Iu the other States the product is above the average, the :nnrMMl- Z' cent., in Nebraska. In1 Wisconsin the . . . . . . . ueiieicncy is nine per cent. .Considerable iniury from frost to the com crop is reported in Xorthern Indi- 7 7 : umuuies. in some portions ot lowa ' T an estimate of two-fifths of soft corn is made.

The area in cotton is some what less than last year. Its culture has been better ; the preparation , for planti ng more complete, and labor more regular and reliable, as a general rule. Early in the season the promise was fine. Serious losses have of late been incurred, principally from the cotton caterpillar, or army worm, which have proved more general and severe in Georgia than elsewhere ; very trouble some in portions of Alabama and Miss issippi, and somewhat prevalent in the Carolinas and Arkansas. Heavy rains in Tennessee and the Southwest have caused. anxiety, but does less damage than was expected.

A correspond ent ofthe Rural Gentlemen, in Dela ware, writes strongly iu favor of ashes to prevent rust in wheat, and from ex perience has found them of great value. As to the effects of ashes, he says they have, like Shakspeaie's '8116- a three-fold operation: 1. The ashes operate as a manure upon the wheat, even in the limited quantity of eight bushels per acre. 2. They push the wheat forward several days, and in time to escape tho hot sultry days, which often prevail about the time of the " heading out" of the wheat j and . 3. They strengthen the stem, giving it substance and solidity. . : , ; I may add one or two more proiwr ties of ashes, they afford just that kind of pabulum or food, which is for tho development and perfection- of tho grain, and will, in my opiuion, also prevent the ravages of the fly in wheat. I would heio venture the remark, that whoever once tries this experiment will tbcreafter spread his wood ashes upon bis lieat as above indicated ; and, in so iloinS llc wiu effectually guard agaiiibt aim prevent " the rust77 in his wheat.

V Tanning. Some time since was tho inquiry, how to tan skins with the hair on ! Any one can succeed in doing so by taking two parts saltpetre and one. of alum, pulverizing them well together, spread the skin careful fur side dow iy before it has got dried, apply the mix ture evenly, being careful to touch every part, in sufficient quantify to thoroughly wet the surface after it dis solves ; double the flesh sido and roll it up closely, put it in a cool place out of the way of the frost, and let it re main three or four days, pei haps more, according to the thickness ; then un roll, and when it gets nearly dry, with a dull knife remove the fat that may adhere in spots, and a little rub- may inaKo it pnauie aim m ior i l i ? . i , .1 in. : t ..t-. ... Tile Moon asd the Weatuek. Professor Elias Loomis read a paper upon the Influence of the Moon upon the Weather, before the American As sociation for the advancement7 of Science, at Chicago, and at its close- exhibited a table of results which ho 1 had deduced from seven years' obser- - .

Bedbugs. A lady writes to tho Texas " Christian Advocate " that salt is is a sure thing on bedbugs. Wash tho articles and places, infested with the bugs with salt and water, and fill cracks and crevices where the vermin hide- they will give no more trouble. They cannot abide where salt is. Scratches in horses, it is asserted, can be cured by applying every morn ing a mixture composed of one drachm of sulphate of zinc and two ounces of glycerine.
