THE SOCIAL AFFECTIONS. Genuine friendship's soft control, Averts life’s iils, and ctiarrns the soul. Explores the thought, explains the eye. The sweetest solace when we die. It smiles away the glist’ning tear, Infuses joy 'mid trembling fear. Despondency and darkest gloom. With cheerfulness and light relume. Oh ! Friendship, friendship, peerless rayf To life’s bewildered—winding way. When darkest waves of trouble roll, Thou art the Polstar of the Soul. And then should fortune, wealth and fame, Unite to bless and gild our name. The climax of our joy would be, To have our friends’ society. Oh! who hath friendship, pure, sincere. Our pain to soothe, onr joy to share? ’Tis not with those who smile and jest. That truly have it in the breast. For rivals, seeking wealth or fame, When absent, blur each other’s name. But, when together, jest and smile, Each other’s interest to beguile. Nor cherished by inferiors For those who are superiors, For envy basely fills their hearts, And from their tongue detraction darte. Nor is it with the rich and great, To condescend to low estate; They think themselves supremely blessed, Without ignoble friendship’s test. No wonder, then, so few enjoy This precious boon without alloy. Since adverse interest still procl^pi, That friendship is an empty name. ’Tis unity of heart and mind. With mutual interest all combined; In every age, in every clime, That makes this priceless jewel thine. Of similar ages pleasures o.ie, From aged sire, to youngest son ; Spontaneous friendship, artless chart, Is read in sister’s, brother’s heart. Oh do not think it “ passing strange,” If I should say—here, in LaGrange, I often see two sisters prove, The paragons of social love. In sweet feclusion’s calm delight, Or evening walk they both unite; Alike their minds and feelings are. Each charming sister’s love to share. Oh loving, lovely, happy pair ! May not your love some other’s share? Von need not love each other less. And yet, each may some other bless.

Where the Jirst object there fore, in the farmer’s practices is, so to use his crops as to enrich his land, he will soonest effect it by plowing them i in the green state. Another important result is, that the beneficial action is also immedi ate. Green vegetables decompose rapidly, and thus the first crop which follows a green manuring, is benefit- ted and increased by it. But partly for this reason, the green manuring of grain-cropped land, if aided by no other manure must generally be re peated every second year. It is said that grain crops which succeed a green manuring, never lodge —and that the produce of grain is greater in proportion to the straw than when manured with fermented dung. But it is deserving of separate con sideration, that green manuring is especially adapted for improving and enrichingsoils which are poor in ve getable matter. Living plants contain in their substance not only all they have drawn up from the soil, but also a great part of what they have drawn down from the air. Plow in these living plants, and you necessarily add to the soil more than was taken from it in other r.vds, you make it richer in organic matter. Repeat the pro cess wilh a second crop, and you make it richer still—and it would be difficult to define the limit beyond which the process could no further be carried. The soils only are beyond the reacit of this improving process, on which plants refuse to grow at all. But for those plants which grow nuturally upon tlio soil, agricultural skill may substitute others, which will increase more rapidly, and produce a large quantity of green leaves and stems for the purpose of being hur ried in the soil. Hence the selection of particular crops for turning in— those being obviously the fittest which in the given soil and climate grow most rapidly, or which produce the largest quantity of vegetable matter in the shortest time and at the small est cost, Johnson's Lectures on the.

Novel method of Making Salt.

The propri etor has contrived to separate the gas from the water; and while the water is conveyed into the boilers through one set of pipes, the gas is conveyed in another set under the boilers where it is inflamed, and evaporates the wa ter !
