A good photograph is equivalent to an examina tion into oue’a conscience. It places under the eye more than one secret foible, that we are loth to ac knowledge. That man of fifty, or sixty If you choose, if he be sincere, does not murmur when looking at his photograph, “Gracious heaven! how old I am!” How, (ill these wrinkles mine“ What, this sad, worn, furrowed face belong to me One is stupitled, and this is increased in a very disagree able manner when showing this picture to some friends. One bears them exclaim: Oh, how per fect. It is you. Now you have a portrait that looks just like you.” Thank you. Although we may believe ourselves to be sensible and philosophical, aud despite all our endeavors to pluck from our hearts all its illusions of vanity, yet we always have Inode of us a portrait of ourselves much finer thun the reality. The luuer man is always young. Do we come across an interesting book, aud feel the same enthusiasm as at twenty Does a touching story bring tears to our eyes Does a beautiful face'charm us as it did at twenty Then wo believe that we are onlv tweuty. 1 am sure that when the old men of Troy, standing up before Helen, cried out, "Henc beautiful she is ’”they forgot their age: they believed themselves to bo young.

Some farmers practice seeding down on the sod, that is ploughing up an old ex hausted tield ann harrowing lightly and sowing grass seed immediately. It is not so effective as summer fallowing and seed ing in the fall, but it will succeed gener ally. Mr. Lewis, of Herkimer county, New York, stated before the State Board of Agriculture, as appears by the Secre tary’s report: 1 have repeatedly turned- over a poor sod. and have made a tine, nice sod by seeding at once, with the old sod undis turbed'. But if I had land that was foul, either with this witch-grass, Canadian thistles, bushes, breaks or anything that was obnoxious, I should prefer, by all means, the summer fallowing. It tits the land the most perfectly for the reception of seed of any treatment 1 ever saw be stowed upon it, and the crop is almost sure to grow. By summer fallowing you prepare an immense amount of form for the grasses, and in its most available form for the grass roots to reach it. There is no loss of time. When you count a num ber of years forward, I think there is a gain of at least a year in the rough sum mer fallowing. But you can turn land over and knead it almost any time of the year. I have sowed every month in the year, except December, January and Feb uary. I sowed j grass tor several years with crops, supposing that I had got to sow a crop if I sowed grass seed; but for twenty years i nave put anytning wnn my j grass seedwhen I resowed it. I give the grass seed full sweep, and I find that I can seed as late as the 28th of May, and get a very good crop of grass by the 28th of September, turning the sod right over. Hut, as I said before, 1 am sorry that this friend of mine regards it as the loss of a whole year. I repeat, I have never seen any treament of land equal to that of thorough summer fallowing, for a perma nent meadow or permanent ploughing. Nothing that I have ever seen will pre pare the land so well. The Popular Excitement on the subject of hydrophobia is baseless. Within the last few days,.I have been summoned to attend four persons who were dying of fright pure and simple. Two nights ago my door bell rang furiously. The servant who answered it was confronted by an in dividual in a tumult of excitement, who demanded to see me. When I came down stairs the gentlemun ctied out: “Doctor, save me from madness, I was bitten by my pet poodle, three weeks ago, and I am now unable to see water unmoved. I live on the Jersey Heights, and when I got near the river I closed my eyes and rush ed to the ferry-boat, and hid myself out of sight of the hateful water.” When I heard that the dog that had bitten the gentleman three weeks before, was not dead, I knew that he was not sufl'ering from hydropho bia. Hydrophobic victims die within twenty-four hours. This I impressed up on him so strongly that he went away calm ond hopeful.—[Dr. W. A. Hammond ZENAS THOMPSON, JB., (Successor to J. M.

Colli) t 'Diversify—Commencement J'ter* Cl An abstract of the sermon delivered before the Boardman Missionary Society on Sunday evening July 19th by I’rof. Herr,an Lincoln of Newton Theological Seminary; The preacher took for his text “He must reign till he hath pot all enemies under his feet 1 Corinthians. 13:23. The kingdom of Jesus is universal, including all nations, all worlds, all time, lie foretold its triumph and promised his presence with bis disciples to the end. The text predicts its absolute tri umph. The tendency ot the age is to unity. Unity of matter, force, development, human ity. Scientific minds demand a similar unity in religion, an absolute religion, made up from a comparison of ancient and modern faiths. Christianity claims to be the absolute religion and supports the claim by teaching a unity of origin for the race Moses says “God made man in his own image.” Jesus taught “wlu n ye pray say but Father”. Chris tianity makes man the child of God, not the offspring of chance, or fate, or uatural selec tion, or evolution. The human heart, find ing utterance in the poets, yearns for this divine origin and will accept the only religion that teaches it. A unity of nature Most religions have national and local. Thiy have divided in stead of uniting the race. The Greek and Roman despised the barbarian. The Jew listed the Gentile. Christianity declares “God lias made ot one blood, all nations.” A divine parentage makes all brothers, and this idea of humanity born of the New Testament is outgrowing the old limits of nation and race and binding all men into one household. A unity of worship The classical religions perplexed devout minds. The Gods were many. New ones must be worshipped in new places. One coul l never be sure of pleasing all, they were antagonistic. Some were enemies because others were friends. Chris tianiiy has but one God, for child and arch angel; tor scholar and for peasant; tor Katie at the North l’ole, and Livingstone in Africa. The unity of redemption The modern idea of law is terrible. Huxley and Tyndall tell us nature pardons no mistakes; she pun ishes blunders equally with sins. Penalty is inexorable; there can be no escape from it. Christianity teaches forgiveness and recovery it gives a new nature and life and absolute deliverance from sin. It confirms its promise by its history. Unity of destiny: The march of humanity is from the garden of Eden to the celestial city.

Nervous weakness lias too frequently turned out to ho the prelude ol some serious malady to admit of any doulit iu the mat ter. Inactivity of the bodily functions as surely begets their derangement as cause precedes effect. it is therefore absolutely essential for the preser vation of health, perhaps id' iile itself, that this warning should b, promptly heeded. The case does not admit ol delay.

THE COLUMBIA CBEW THE WINNEBS. Dissatisfaction at the Itesult--.l*rospec» ol Another Trial. Saratoga, 18. About fifteen hundred persons assembled at the Iske this morning, to witness the uni versity boat race, set down for 10 A. M. The lake was as smooth as glass. At 9.45 o’clock the first gun was fired at 10.20 the second and the starting gun was fiired at 10.47. All the boats got off handsomely together, Colum bia at the half mile taking the lend, then Trinity made a spurt, overhaulrd Columbia, and at the eve ot the mile to- k the lead away from Yale, which had shot ahead, but at the moment failed and fell behind. Princeton came up close behind Trinity. The others were about even with each other. At the mile and a half Columbia came to the from Hgain, with the Harvard struggling sharply. The others kept their positions. At the two mile point Columbia was still in advance with Cornell making a spurt to overtake her, and passing Harvard at the two and one-half mile point, Columbia was still ahead witli Wesleyan, which now showed great vigor, pressing her sharply and stead ly. The last half mile was then one continued exciting pull between Cilutnbia, Weslcyans, Harvard* and Dartruoutbs, and they catne in in that or der, Columbia was ahead about two boat lengths, and making the distance in 1(1.50.— It was greeted with tremendous cheers. On reaching the shore B. Frank, captain and strok, fainted, and was seized by the crew and carried on their shoulders up the hill to Moon’s I.ttk -House. Before reaching the house he lud entirely recovered. The scene following the race was one long to be remem bered, and was only marred in its progress by the failure of Yale to participate in the race beyond the mile point, at which time she was taking the lead with a good prospect for keep ing it. Saratoga, 18 I*. M. The Columbia and Wesleyan crews march ed through the streets carrying the Symbolic Crown, and about 200 Yale men with Captain Cooke, borne on the shoulders of two men, at their head marched through the piazzas of the principle Hotels singing. The leeling between Yale and Harvaid is very bitter, and Cooke has challenged the winning crew to another race. It is impossi ble to say at this time how the fouls occurcd or who is to blame. At 3 o'clock the Judges held a meeting and it is believed that a second race will be* rowed. Later. The following claims of foul made to the referee were decided as follows: “Harvard vs. Yale,” and “Yale vs. Har vard.” The claims were dissallowed in ac cordance with rule 14. Yale’s claim was not entertained as Yale violated rules 7 and 8 un der which the race was rowed. “Woslyan vs. Columbia” was not sustain ed as the steering of each boat was somew hat wild gwith no apparent w ilful attempt to foul.
