Praying and Saying Prayers.
Jemima was a little girl
Who many prayers could say ;
But O! she had a wandering heart,
And, therefore, did not pray.
She kneel’d beside her little bed
“ Our Father ” to repeat.
The while she twisted into knots
The corner of the sheet.
Her roving eyes, as there she knelt,
Were never closed at all;
She’d count the roses on the rug,
The stars upon the wall.
And, “gentle Jesus, meek and mild,”
Her careless tongue would say,
When all her thoughts were of the doll
That on the pillow lay.
Ah! ’twas no wonder that she grew
111-tempered, proud, and rude,
For if a child should never pray,
How can a child be good f
Dear readers! shun Jemima’s fault,
And heed the words I say;
When you kneel down to sav your prayers,
Be certain that you pray!
The Half-Eagle.
“ Uncle, see what I have found!” said Henry
Morgan, as he came running home from school
one pleasant Summer afternoon. “It is gold,
and it is money : how much is it ?”
u It is a half-eagle,” said Mr. Morgan, tak
ing the coin and viewing it carefully.
“ How many dollars is it worth ?”
“ How many dollars are there in an
eagle ?”
“ Ten.”
“How many in a half eagle?”
“ Five.”
“ Never ask a question that you can answer
yourself. Where did you find it?”
“In the middle of the road, at the foot of
the hill. There was no body in sight.”
“ So you don’t know to whom it belongs?”
“It belongs to me, because I found it.”
“Suppose the owner should come along
, and claim it!”
g, “ 1 suppose I should be obliged to give it to
|bin>. Do you think it is likely that he w ill
SEfne along ?”
BkNot very.”

money, I dare say,” said
. coin more narrowly than his father had done.
“It’s gold, if it isn’t brass or something else.”
“It is gold. Your father says it is gold ;
Und don’t you think he knows ?”
Boys are very apt to affirm that a thing has
been said, when, in reality, something like it
has been said.
w‘ What are you going to do with it?”
“ Buy things with it.”
“ You may find the owner of it.”
“ I shan’t try very hard.”
“If you had a piece of gold of your own,
and should happen to lose it, would you not
want to find it ?”
“ Os course I should.”
“ Suppose one should find it and should
keep it a secret?”
“If he knew I lost it, he would be as bad
as a thief.”
“ i agree with you.”
The boys walked to the house in silence.
John had given Henry something to think
about, and did not disturb his thoughts by any
remarks.
Henry began to see that his desire that the
(owner of the coin should not be found was
not a very honest desire. The first impulse
he felt on finding it was to keep it a secret,
so that he would not have to restore it to the
owner should he appear to claim it. That he
had not yielded to that impulse was owing
partly to excitement, and partly to the fact
that he did not see how he could account for
having so much money. The more he thought
of the matter the nearer he became being
convinced that he had felt like a thief.
That was not a very comfortable feeling.
At Supper Mr. Morgan asked Henry :
“Have you made up your mind what to do
with your money ?”
“ Yes. sir,” said Henry.
“ Weil, iet us know.”
“I shall put it in your hands to keep, for
the owner if he turns up ; and, when you think
there is no chance of his appearing, you mav
let me have it, and I will devide it with
John.”
“John didn’t help vou find it.”
“That’s so; but he helped me think about
it.”
A blush followed the last remark, which
Mr. Morgan noticed, and deemed it wise to
say no more.— Child at Home.

A little Boy moves a great Ship.
We have somewhere read that at an En
glish dockyard a great ship was to be launched:
an immense multitude assembled to see it
glide down the slides that were to carryltinto
the water. The blocks and wedges were
knocked away, but the massive hull did not
stir, and there was disappointment. Just then
a little boy ran forward, and began to push
the ship with all his might. The crowd broke
out in a laugh of ridicule, but it so happened
that the vessel was almost ready to move, the
few pounds pushed by the lad were only
needed to start it, and away it w ent into the
water. This teaches an important lesson to
every boy and girl. You often think the
tittle you can do is of no account. You don’t
know that. A little word, a kind act, however
small, may be, and often is, the turning in
one’s own history, and often of great impor
tance in its influence upon others. A good
deed, or the resistance of a temptation, may
start up good thoughts in the mind of a play
mate, which may suggest other thoughts and
deeds. The train of thoughts in one’s mind
is like a train of cars. The little frog or
tongue on the tracs, no larger than your finger
at its point, may direct the locomotive
upon the right track, or if wrongfully placed,
it may turn the.engine aside and hurl it down
a steep bank to fearful destruction. So the
smallest word may start the mind on a right
or wrong track. Dear young friends, your
little words, little thoughts, and little works
are important. Strive earnestly to be right,
noble, generous at all times, in secret and in
publ-c. When, in the future, we come to see
the great map of human action and influences
spread out, it will then be found that you are
daily and hourly exerting an influence that is
telling upon the of your brothers,

sisters, playmates, upon your parents, upon
all you come in contact with. Give a good
push at the ship, do a good deed, no matter
how trifling, whenever and wherever you can,
and trust to God for the result. —American

An Honorable Boy.
A minister of the gospel had an interesting
little son, on whose mind he was daily trying
to make impressions that would form his life
according to the Bible. He taught his little
boy to avoid sin, and to keep out of the way
of sinners. He carefully guarded him against
the popular and fashionable vices of the day.
Nor did he tire in his work. He knew it was
by little and little that he was to make lasting
and indelible impressions upon the mind of his
son.
A short time since, this father left his son
with a friend to spend a few weeks. The
gentleman with whom he was left was pleased
with his charge, and did all he could to make
the little fellow happy and contented. One
day he carried him to a neighboring village to
see a cireus, without telling him where he was
going. The unsuspecting boy went cheerfully
along, and was very happy, and much pleased
with his ride. The gentleman took him to
the enclosure under the canopy, and getting a
convenient scat, placed him by his side. The
little fellow looked round upon the crowd of
spectators, and gazed upon the immense can
vas umbrella spread before him, aild then in
quired, “ What is this, sir ?” “ Where am I?”
The gentlemam replid, “This is a circus .”
“A circus?” said the little boy, “ then 1 must
go out, for father says a circus is a bad place.”
“Wait,” said the gentleman, “and you will
soon see some fine horses and fine dressed
gentlemen and ladies, and you will be delight
ed with them.” “No, sir, no,” said the child,
“ I cannot stay ; I must go out, and go away
from here; for father says, a circus is a bad
place, and not fit for little boys.” The gen
tleman tried in vain to satisfy the boy’s con
science ; but nothing would do, and he was
compelled to take him out and return home
with him.
This was a noble boy. The little fellow
did exactly right. He determined to obey his
father. “ Children, obey your parents in the
Lord ; for this is right”
Little Mart’s Thought.— Little Mary
had just come from the window, w here she
had been gazing out with evident pleasure,
and sat down on her little stool at papa’s
feet.
It was just at sunset; and a most glorious
sunset it wa<. The western sky was mantled
with clouds of the most gorgeous hues, upon
which the little girl gazed with thoughtful
pleasure.
“ Papa,” she said at length, “do you know
what I think when I see those pretty
clouds ? ”
“ No, what do you think of them, Mary ?”
“ 1 always think they are God’s vails.
Doesn’t he have beautiful vails, papa to hide
him from us?”
“ True enough, little one,” thought 1; “The
clouds which vail Him from our sight now
are beautiful. There is a rainbow on them if
we will see it; they shine with mercy and
truth.”
Was not that a pretty thought of little
Mary’s ? and does it not remind you of the
time when the vails shall be parted, and He
shall come with clouds, and every eye shall
see Him?

Super-Phosphate of Lime.
Bones are among the most potent fertilizers,
and should be carefully saved on every farm,
and in every city and village, for the enrich
ing of the lands of the country. Their com
position chemically is as follows: In one
hundred parts there are of earthy matter
sixty six, of organic matter thirty four. The
earthy part consists of phosophate of lime,
and the animal or organic is a substance called
gelatine or glue. Both of these are fine ma
nures, indeed the very richest. The bone is
unavailable, however, until it is decomposed,
and but few know how to effect this. When
ground to a powder the combined action of
air, and moisture, and earth will effect this
object—but the grinding is a difficult matter,
and involves considerable expense to prepare
for it; undoubtedly the best and cheapest
form of bone fertilizer is what is termed su
perphosphate of lime, (sulphuric acid and raw
bone). This substance is manufactured and
sold widely, and, where you can rely upon its
purity, we most heartily recommend it to our
readers.
We feel like giving our readers a simple
recipe, and if they choose to do so they can
manufacture it for themselves. Take 100
pounds of bones, break them as fine as you
can with a hammer, put them into a two
bushel tub; to fifty pounds sulphuric acid, add
twice its bulk in water, pour one-third of this
over the bones, and let it stand twenty four
hours, stirring occasionally ; add one third
more of the dilute acid, and let it stand another
day and night, and on the third day add the
remainder of the acid, stirring occasionally
until the bones have dissolved, which will not
usually require more than another day. Mix
this with any good absorbing compost or finely
pulverized to make it up and
hold it in a solid form. The water will evap
orate, and leave the mass dry and crumbly.
You now have some five hundred pounds of
the most powerful manure known. The cost
will be tor bones say one dollar, sulphuric acid,
from three to four dollars,-and your trouble,
which we are not prepared to estimate accu
rately. Those unacquainted with chemistry
may fear that the acid will destroy the pro
perties of the bones, we assure you however,
that it simply dissolves the lime and leaves
the cartilage or glue unhurt, and the same
form as before, until it is stirred up. Remove
a bone from the acid after a day or two, and
it will be of the same size and form, but soft
and flexible, a mass of jelly.— N. Western

Restoration of Lands—Wheat Growing, etc.
I promised to embody in this communica
tion some results and ideas gathered from
experience its farming. I shall be brief, how
ever, so as not to monopolize too much space
in your columns. I will recount my first ex
periment, and the result, in the use of a two
horse turning plow. I begun on a field that
had been thrown out for many years as too
wasted for cultivation. It was badly washed;
in fact, so much so that I feared to use horses
or mules, lest, in jumping over the gullies (as
they would be sure to do,) they might break
the plow, or worse, injure themselves, i used,
instead, a very steady pair of oxen. There
was no soil left—all had been washed off, and
the only vegetation was hamboo briars and
maypop vines ; and my neighbors laughed at
my undertaking as being very ridiculous. I
hauled a large quantity of trash—such as corn
stalks, pine tops, etc. —from other parts of
my land, and dropped them into the gullies.
I also cut hill-side ditches to drain the water
that might run off. I ploughed the land as
deep as the oxen could pull the plow, sowing
rye as l ploughed. It was soon observable
that the heaviest rain was disarmed of any
power to injure the land by washing. Instead
of running off, as before, the water was ab
sorbed by the loose dirt, and thus retained.
The following spring, I was rewarded by a
very scanty crop of rye! I sowed peas on
the iand, and turned them and the rye under
together. In the fall, I turned under a first
rate crop of peavines, and sowed wheat; and
gathered, the ensuing spring, good wheat. I
adopted this system of culture on all my old
lands, and the result is, lands that a few years
since were considered valueless, are now pro
ducing fine crops; and a like result will fol
low a like experiment, whenever and wherever
tried.
I noticed with interest the communication,
in the last issue of the Index, on wheat grow
ing. I believe Georgia can be made equal, as
a wheat growing State, to any in the world.
1 have raised fifty bushels of wheat per acre,
without fertilizing, and on land that is natu
rally no stronger than the majority of the
lands in Georgia. I notice that planters are
manuring pretty extensively this season as
they sow wheat. If, instead of sowing broad
cast, as is the usual way, they would sow
both wheat and guano in the drill, the saving
in the seed and guano would be considerable,
while the yield would be at least twenty-five
per cent, greater. When planted in this way,
the plants receive the undivided strength of
both the soil and the manure. By the admis
sion of the sun and air between the rows, a
stronger and healthiej- plant is produced, ar.d,
of course, heavier crops. The difference in
the appearance of the growing wheat, drilled
and broadcast, is illustrated in the following
engravings:
Drilled, the heads of the wheat are large,
plump and uniform, and the stalks likewise;
while broadcast, some are small, and none of
them even. “ Unity is strength,” is a pro
verbial maxim, and no less applicable here
than elsewhere. Condensed, the manure is
stronger; united, the wheat plants can resist
the thistle and other injurious weeds more
successfully.

Agricultural Policy of the South.
The opinion here given of the proper course
to be persued by Southern landholders may
ruffle the pride of some, and may conflict with
the ideas of others, as to the policy to be per
sued in the material reconstruction of the
South, but the writer, as one of the sufferers
himself, trusts he may be excused for the ut
terance of honest opinions dictated by the de
plorable condition to which the planting States
have been reduced, not only by the ravages
of war, but also by the industrial paralysis in
which they have been held since their subjec
tion.
That the entire agricultural system of four
teen States has been partially, or completely
overthrown, and that another, more in accor
dance with their future condition is to be
adopted, it is mere folly to deny, and the
sooner we make up our minds to accept the
situation, and make the best of it, the better
for all.
Under the new system, the first, and most
obvious change to be made is in the extent of
landed estates. These in most instances are
tar too large, and though it may wound the
honorable pride of the holder to alienate even
a portion of i is aueestrial acres, he had better
part with that portion by his own act, than to
lose the whole under the hammer of the sher
iff. To sell a part to obtain capital wherewith
to cultivate the remainder, is obviously the true
policy; but can this be done? Can it be <*f gener
al application? We fear not, where all are sell
ers, where are the buyers to come from? Under
present circumstances we cannot get em that
the North or abroad, for. neither capital nor la-
bor will seek a country whose political status
is undefined. Failing, then, in this, what is
the next best course to pursue? Why,clearly
to reduce the number of cultivated acres to an
extent proportioned to the diminished labor,
and increase the mowing and grazing land.
The system of enclosure should be done away
with entirely, and every man be compelled to
take care of his own stock, hut if this be too
abrupt a change we should at least get rid of
the cross-fencing by keepingthe grazing lands
in a permanent pasture, and this, by the way,
makes the best grazing. The older the sod,
the richer the grass, is in Europe an agricul
tural maxim. Another thing to be done is to
aim at a greater diversity of production.
Southern agriculture has been too long run
ning in one groove. Why should we confine
ourselves to four or five staples when we
might have a dozen ? Let us by stringent leg
islation get rid of the thousands of useless
curs that infest the land, and we will produce
more and better wool and mutton than the
Northern States. The whole of our middle
region, along the Blue Ridge, is the best
region on the continent. Most of the North o : n
States, including Wisconsin, are becoming
large growers of hops, at remunerating pF*£?s,
and yet there are hundreds of gardens in Vir
ginia and Maryland in which hop vines have
been flourishing from colonial times to the
present, without care or attention. But the
necessity of the moment is labor, and we
should seek to obtain it through legislative
action. No matter how great the debt of the
States may be, they should, as Maryland has
recently done, make liberal appropriation\.for
the introduction of foreign labor. State Bm
reaus should be established for the express
purpose, and capable, well paid agents sent
abroad to demonstrate the superior advanta
ges offered the immigrant by the Southern
States, with their superior climate, lands clear
ed, roads made, schoolhouses and churches
already built, and proximity to the seaboard
and large growing markets. The smallest rill
diverted Southward from the great tide of
immigration flowing to the wild lands of the
West, will soon swell into a great stream of
humanity, which will restore us to more than
our ancient prosperity.— Turf, Field and

What high Culture will do. —The South
Carolinian relates an instance in which the
wife of one of the chancellors in Marlboro
district, set apart a quarter of an acre of the
vegetable garden to cotton and cultivated it
with the house domestics. She made, in spite
of the unfavorable season, nine hundred and
eighteen pounds of cotton, or an average of
nearly three bales to the acre. What better
illustration could be offerid that the true pol
icy of our planters is to make up for the
scarcity of labor by high culture. A proper
application of artificial fbanures will make
our thin and equal to a
garden in productiveneMJß
