"Oh, I don't know. I haven't any
faith in those sudden reforms." '
Mrs. Partlet was Silent ; she thought
thankfully that after all Luke had not
spent the dollar bill in liquor. .
Six months -six years -the time sped
along, in clays and weeks, almost before
busy little Mrs. Partlet knew that it was
gone. The Ituddiloyee had gone back to
Sequosset. • • •
Luke had made his fortune as the
story went, in the. far away El Dorado
vaguely phrased "Out West" by the sine
ple Sequosseters.
!"They do . say," said Mrs. Bucking,
ham, "that he's bought that 'ere lot
down opposite the court house, and is go-
ing to build such 'a house as never was." °
"He must have prospered greatly,"
said the gentle Mrs. Part l et.
"And his wife -wears a silk gown. that
will stand alone with its own richness,"
said Mrs. Buckingham; "I can remem-
ber when Luke Ruddilove was nothing
but a poor druns ken crea•ture."
"All the 'pore credit to him now,"
said Mrs. Partlet, emphatically.
"It's to be o' stun," said 'Mrs. '
Buckingham, "with marble mantels and ,
inlaid floors. And he's put a lot of pap- !
ers and things under the corner one. ,
"The corner what ?" said Mrs. Part -
let, laughing. "Floor or mantle ?" -, -
"Stun, to be sure," said Mrs, Buck-
ingham. “Like they do in public bilild-
ings, you know."
"That is natmal enough."
"Well, it's a kind o' queer, but Luke
Ruddileve never wan't like nobody else.
Folks thinks it's dreadful strange- lie
should put a one dollar bill in with the
other things."
Mrs. Partlet felt her cheeks flushacar-
let ; she glanced up to- where the squire
was checking off a; list of legal items in
the bill h?, was making out against some
client. But he never Jooked. around, and
Mrs. 'Buckingham went on -with her
never -ceasing flow of chit-chat, and so
the color died awayonheacheek. After
all the money had been, her own to give,
and the old oil -cloth in front of the din-
ing room stove had answered. very well.
She met Lu ke Rad dile ye that afternoon
for the first tine since his return to Se-
quoiset-Luke himself, yet not himsnlf
-the demon of intemperance crushed. out
of his 'nature, and its better, nobler ele-
ments triumphing at last. He looked
her bri,ghtly in the face, as he .held ant
his hand.
"I am gla.d to see you. back here again,
Luke," she saidtremulously. •
"And well yOu may be," be rejoined,
"Do you remember the night you gave
me -the dollar bill, and begged_ me not to
go to.the tavern ?"
•
"That night was a pivot on ,wlei.ch my
whole destiny filmed. You- were killer
to me when every one spoke coldly ; you
trusted me Yellen all other faces were
averted. • I vowed. a vow to myself to
preye worthy of your coatidence, and I
kept it. I did not spend the money -I
_
treasured it up -and heaven ha,S. added
niightily to my little store, put the
dollarbill under the corner stone of my
new house, for the house has r:sen from
it alone. *I won't offer to pay you back,
for ,aan afra,id," he added smilingly,
"the luck would go froni me with it ;lout
tell you what I will do, Mary ; .1 -will
give money aud words of trnst and en-
couragement to some other pear wretch
as you gave tome."
And Squire Partlet never knew what

To the Editor of the Huron Expositor.
In my letter which appeared in your
issue of the 22nd ult., written in reply to
"J. A. 's". communication on the disuse of
the Bible in our common .schools, I ar-
gued : Eirst-That the use of the Bible
in our common schools was opposed to
the principle of non -established church -
ism, now recognized as a fixed principle
Of Canadian legislation, and admitted,
not onlYby the great 'ema-jority of the
people, but by "J. A." himself --if I may
judge from the whole scope of his corms-
pondence--Ch allenging him to explain the
difference in -principle between State
churchism and State paid schools where
religion was 'taught. Secondly -I show-
ed. that the introduction of the Bible into
our schools, as a class -book, necessarily
involved religious eectarianism, which
"J. A." so emphatidally disavowed, .un-
less school tea,ching of the Bible were re-
duced to useless routine and cramming
the young with a mass of baran
knowledge. And, Thi9-dly-That, as it
was wrong to impose on any section of
the people, a religious test and subject it
to -civil disabilities on acootint of religi-
ous or speculative opinions, in the dis-
charge of a public function, a doctrine
cOmmunication' ; and he appears to be so
possessed with this spirit, that he be-
comes quite heedless of,the question at
issue: • `J. A." does not make it clear
what bearing either that'opinion. express-
ed with unassuming candor, by the
"arch-intidel, Tom Paine" or that ex-
pressed with an oratorical flourish by
some dreaming theologian in a fit of pious
enthusiasm i has on the I argument. , Be
has peintedto the creettiles of the Inclia•n
rebellion as an argument that national
morality an Biblical instructions are in-
separably cennected ; but the looseness
of his reasoning, his dednction of an-*
portant pridiple from the slender evid-
ence of an isclated illustration, without
a critical examioation of the -facts. is like
an -attempt to stand a One on its apex
and merits Onlysea. smile of contempt.
Whatever were the .cruelties which the
Hindoes committea. at that time, it must
be admitted that they Could offer some
extenuating ciectaaneterices for these
cruelties in the historical recollections of
the injustice, cupidity and inhumanities
with which an alien ancilBible spreading
nation marked its march of aggression
and conquest. But lam obliged to stop.

A New Writer on the Bible -hi -
School Question.
To the Editor. of the flurom .Ezepositoi.
SIR, -In your issue of December 8th
" Anti -Sectarian " complains that the
main issues in his letter of November 22,
remain unteached: Felten -lately in his
second letter be is a little more precise,
so that one can get at his aatt meaning,
and. lience not be under the necessity of
attacking him in flank. In the first
place he states that 'the morality of a
people is not necessarily dependent upon
the Bible being taught ill schools. Mor-
ality and religion go hand in hand.
Without the belief in a }God, anct of fu-
ture rewards and. punishments, the 'only
governing principle among . men will be
self-interest of selfishnets. There can
be no such thing as right and wrong, un•-•.
less there be some law to tell us what
actions are right and -what are wrong.
There can be no sin unless there be law,
and law implies punishment: Law im-
plies also a law -giver, and a definite code
of laws. These laws which regulate the
morality of mankind are contained the
more fully in the Bible, God himself be-
ing the law -giver.
History shows us that the more the
Bible is read and meditated upon the
more civilized the people- are. As I.
think Dr. Chalmers exprqssed it, "Were
in ancient Greek or Roman to wrap him-
sey in his ecattereci ashes, and to de-
mand cf me the blessings shed upon
Britain by the gospel, I would point him
to our lazaarhotises, to our asylums, .to
our penitentiaries, and I would ask him
AinIthoqt fear of an -answer in theaffirma-
tive, if such, things were known in Re-
publican Athens, in Imperial Rome." It
may be true that sonie infidels have been
mieral, so far as their cOnduct towards
their fellowmen is concerned, but these
infidels have been brought up in Chris-
tian .countries, (although perhaps they
would not admit it) their morality em-
anated from the gospel and was not in-.
dependent of it. Socrates, Confucibs,
and spme other heathen:I-might besolue-
-what; moral, but was the - morality of
heathen nations ever equal to that of
cheistian nations ? Even the most civil-
ized heathen nations are barbarous when
compared with those which profess the,
most corrupt -forms of christi anity. It
is true christian nations, land individuals
who have been educated directly in
Bible truths have done many wrong and
wicked things; but was it because they
were .so educated that theyedid so, or was.
it not rather because they acted indirect
opposition telts precepts? • If so the fault
cannot be laid. to the but to the
innate depravity of theirewn natulre. it
is true that with an active, energetic
Sabbath- school agency, the religious
wants of the young may, be overtaken,
but is it dniug so fully ? And is it not
the fact that a number of the youth are
neglected. by their parents, do not attend
Sabbath school,. and. Bo ere left to grow
up Without any knpwledge of religious
truth. - And with all that has been done.
by Sabbath Schools, with all that can he
done by Sabbath schools; and they have
done, and axe doing m1:14, it is not equal
to the familiarizing tho minds of the
youth with the sacred texts of Scriptu re
in their daily exercises in school. Be-
sides thefaet that re1ig4a. is. almost en-
tirelY excluded from wheel is apt to lead
them to the impression that it is a thing
only to be engaged: in din the Sabbath.
whereas all our actioes. and all our
underta,kin s ought io e under its -in-
fluence. In the nekt place he Ltales that it is
impossible to teach the Bible in our pub-
lic schools Without makine --thtm Rectal. -

that it cannot be said that the different
translations of the Bible differ V817/ ma-
terially. In the fourth place he states
that in Ontario where Church and. State
are separated, the Government ba i no
right to compel the subject to support
any religion whatever, which it would
be doing were it to associate the roitading
of the Scriptures with our educational
system.
Church and State are separate, but the
State has its own duties to perform. It
has to See that justice is done between
man and man andindoing so has to ad-
minister oath's. Then how can the State
with any show of justice administer an
oath unless it have, the power to teach
the aature of au oath.? To administer air
oath to an individual who does not know
its meaning ia simply a mockery. The
oath usually administered expresses the
belief in a God, a great day of judgment,
and of future- awards and punishments.
Then, how can the State perform its
own proper functions unless it also have
the power to teach its subjects some-
thing! of the nature of God, something of
the -future state which awaits us, and
something of the future consequences of
good and bad. conduct in this world, and
where can it be got so pure and so per -
feet as in. the Bible itself ? The State
punishes when men do wrong, it ought
also to have the power to teach men
what is right We say often that the
State itself *does wrong.. Then how are
we to know unless there be some stand-
ard of right and wrong? And where is
it to be got unless from Divine law,which
is fully given in the Bible ? Mr. Editor,
I consider it unfortunate that on account
of the divisions among Christians the
Bible is now so much -disused_ in our
schools. I believe Her Majesty was
right, when in speaking to a heathen
Prince on the greatness of England, she
presented a Bible to him and said, "This
is the secret of England's greatness,
England's glory." I believe that by
righteousness a nation is exalted, and if
we wish our country to prosper, every
effort should be made to instil the prin-
ciples of righteousness into the youth: of
onr land, and not to have them brought
up with simply secular instruction(which
can be turned to a good or bad use ac-
cording l -o the inclination of the individ-
ual) instilled into their minds. I believe
that the more the Bible is used -and read,
the mare righteous will the people be,
and consequently think that instead. of
trying to put it into a corner, every ef-
fort should be made - to get it better
known and more generally read than -at -
present. I am, ete.,

To the Bailor of the Ilurdn Expositor. -
DEAR SIR :---I se* some time ago, in
your journal an invitation th the farm-
ers of _Huron to , discuss dairying and
-other kindred subjects. .
f therefore presume, it may not be out
of place for me to make a few remarks.
I will giye my opinion on the lest two
questions asked by "Inquirer"
The method I would adopt to clean lend
of thistles and other noxious - weeds'
would. be to plow with three -horses
abreast, in the tall, as deep as it could
possibly be done, leave it as rough as pos-
sible, for the r ction of the frost, let it lie
until the ',spring work is all dope, and
the growth well advanced, then give it a
good. plowing,- then take a cultivator and
pull-up all the roots to the sun. These
operations -must be performed. in dry
weather. After ealtivating and harrow-
ing well, allow to lie two or three
weeks, until the growth sets in again,
then plow, &c„ before. have never
'known this te fail, if properly performed,
and the land seeded. down with the next
crop. I always seed with clover and .cut
it early, so that if any thistle root be left,
cutting them in the grass will prevent
their spreading.- Second -With regard
.he system of cropping in aomeetion
with dairying, I would clean the land.;
and manure it welfbefore seedieg down ;
then seed down thickly with Reed aud
AJisike clever•mixed with timothy; cut
for hay the first crop ; pasture the next
season ; then break up and sow: with
peas ; then sow with fall wheat ; then
take a crop of oats ; next put a goodeoat
of manure on it.in the fall, put it in roots
and other sorts. of green feed for the
COWS, then seed down with the next crop:
If this system is followed, and drains put
in wherever the land. is wet, We think
there is no danger of success in dairy
farming. -We hope some of your read-
ers, who may have different methods
from.' mine, will give us the benefit of
their expenence, for as "Inquirer" sug-.
,gested, one object is to learn.
