GOBSIPING.
It is not alone in small neighborhoods
that scandal exclusively oporates. Out
in the world it interferes with a thou
sand things, causing unbounded troublos.
In trade, in friendship, in politics, its
effects ave seen; and half tho evils of
life that one encounters, is caused by the
obtrusion of some hand in his dish be
sides his own. Ilow much heart-burn
ing is eaused by it, how much bifterness,
how much hatred, how much ansoyance !
And yet'those who meddls most ave
often very good people, who would not
‘do any harm for the world, and are quite
‘shocked at the resuits which theiv abom
‘inable interference has brought about.—
Everything is heard to bo repeated, and
suggestions are made by them which
afterwards become affirmations of your
own, that de all manner of harm. And
yet the meddlers do not know what they .
have done. They might indeed woep ]
with you over crushed hopes that their
very propensity has caused and bear no l
malice in their hearts towards anybody ;|
as an innecent colt might, in his excess
of lovingness, kick his owner's and best
friend’s brains out. If peeple would but i
mind their ewn business, there would be
less bankruptey of cowmfort in seciety,
and the machinery of life in all its de
‘partments would run smoothly.
MONEY. |
Men work for it, beg for it, steal for "
it, starve for it, and all the while from
the cradle to tho grave, nature and God
are thundering in our ears the selomn
question: “What shall it profit a man if
he gain the wholo world and lose his
own soul ¥ The madness for money is
the strongest and lowest of passion; it
is the Molock of the human heart before
whose remorseloss altar all tho finer at
tributes of humanity ave sacrificed, It
makes merchandise of all that is sacred
in the human affections, and -often traf
fics in the awful solemnities of the
otornal. :

MANURES, .
Agriculture was coeval with the fixed
proper and settled habitations of ‘man,
which usually followed, although they
semetimes accompanied, the pastoral
life. According to ihe fible, Cain, the
first born of woman, was a “‘tiller of the
ground.” Noah, considered the seg¢and
progenitor of the race on departing from
the ark, “began to be a hushandman.”
‘l'he Beyptians aseribed the inveation
of agriculture to supernatural power, and
worshiped the ox in reward for his la
bor and as symbolic of the art. Moscs
ordered, “Thou shalt net plow with an
ox and an ass together” Job spoke of
those “ihat plow in iniquity.” And
Isaiab, of beating swords iuto plow
‘shaves aud gpears into pruning hooks.”
Among wany Greek authors, at various
} periods, on husbandry—Hesiod, in the
‘age of Homer, perhaps—gave a poem in
which allusions were made to the cart
(ox 1) with low whoels; to the rake,
and other implemeénts of the farm.—
Xenophen' made a discourse on rural
cconomy. And Theophrastus, the “di
vine speaker,” the philesopher, wrete
nino volumes on the “History of Plauts;”
and is regarded the father of botany.—
He also described six principal manures
to be applied, but suggosted, as u good
substitate, the mixture of carths—as of
clay and sand,s About the same period,
Mago, a renowned Carthagenian, pub
lished twenty-eight books on n.gricurtur
al topics, held in such estcem that they
were translated from the FPunic in
to both the Greek and Latin languages.
Jiminent in arms and jurisprudence,
the Romans attained equal exeellence in
the practice of husbandry., It was es
teemod the highest of the liberal employ
ments. ‘T'hoso tribes living without tze
city, and cultivating theic patrimonial,
‘acres, were deemed the mest honerable.
From these, sprang such men as Camil-
Jus and Cincfnnstua. Some 'of tho
‘proudest, and historically tho most cde-‘
brated families assumed the narmcs of
}plants, in whese cultivation the vfuugd.qr,{
or at least an ancestor, had shown dis-i
‘tinguished skill as the Leutulii from ths
“cmil-—-tlm Fabi, from febaa bean, and
Cicoro from cicer a voteh, In his
‘Georgics, Virgil is famiiiar with the on
tire round of agricultural operation;
and gives directions in plowing, plant
ing, fullowing, irrigating and enviching
the land with animal manures, and with
‘ashes. - Celumelia, in twolve books fur
‘nished a complete treatise on rural af
fairs. Their implewonts, including the
“coulter, and the single and doable mould
board plows weie not dissiwilar to those
‘employed during many subsequent cen
turies. Their sourcos of manures wero
‘as various and as numerous, and proba
bly wero as judiciously applied as those
of the moderns up to the 10th century.
Then, as even now, pigeon manure,
(poultry) night soil and human orine
mixed with sweepings of the streets,
were regarded as among the best. The
signal advantages of recont times con

of chemistry, which supplies a magic |
‘ikcy to the vast storeshouses of natuve; {
by analysis unlocking the embraces of
fmuny compound substauces, which, .ini
other days, were supposcd to be simple
‘elements, and/the process of affinity ap- l
plied syntctically, uniting materials for
‘the largest yield of which the earth isi
capable. -
During long centuries of anarchy and l
wars, agriculture was neglected ;" its’
practices forgotten; the pastoral iyae
partially resumed, because property inl
stock could more casily be seeured on'
the approach of any enemy. Its prin- |
ciples, or rather precepts; were in a
measuce preserved everywhere by ‘the
;,;'iu:'hr)od around their ':lmnal.att:rica. y
The Normaa conguest of HEagland,
gavo ag impulse to the halfé%,
art, for many bold barous were distins
guished husbandmen, and the Flemish
immigrgnts aided with their better im
plements and indugtrious habits, It re
vived rapidly in the reign of the a
Henry, when the first English beek on
tho subject, by Fitzherbert, nppum
recommemling draining, fallowing,
manuring with lime and marl.
Farly,in the cighteenth century Joth
ro Tull, a noted Bergshire farmer, intro
duced, if ho did not invent, the drili
systom, and applied it to wheat, pe
tatoes aad turnips. In time it proved a
decided success., Turnips brought frem
Flandors produced a revolution in hus
bandry. They added so largely to the
provender for cattle, supplied by the
grasses, that their cultivation became al
most universal, and an era dated for the
increasd aud improvement of all breeds
of stack, The influence of the plan of
drilling gced waterially heightened this
effect. But Jethro Tull, eccentrie in
part of his practice, in his “ITorse Iloe
Husbandry™ denounced all manures, and
insisted on substituting for them addi
‘tional tillage. In the reign of Geurge
LII the two-horse plow superseded those
of four and six horses. Subsequently
the reaping and threshing machines
wero omployod ; the system of drainage
was begnn, and the sub-soil plow was in
vented by Mr. Deanston, of Seotland.—
Books innumerable were written on’ all
branches of agriculture, the most valua
ble of which, and still maintaining their
high xgputo, are Landon's Eneyclopo
dias, %cicnce onlightened Art, and the
Art, by’@o{h successful and unsuccess
ful expoertment, furnished bases for' the
advancémoent of Science. At present
the press in all countries teems with
agriculiueal litorature, The genius of
invention is quickened by the wonders
which its own efforts have achieved.—
Clhemistry, with striving eénergy, is un
veiling the arcana of nature. A fertili
zar from a distant sea, known and par
tially used for ages on its barren coasts,
but, until rocently, unnoticed and neg
lected by more enterprising people, has
accelorated the wheels of agricultural
progrese, and constitutes manuring, in
all its phases, and of the grand eveats of
this remarkable epoch.—Augusta Con
stitutionalist,
r EDUCATION FOR FARMERS,
It is a great mistake to suppose that
favmers do not need to be educated.—
Progress is sure in this direction, as in
all others, but it scems slow. The farm
er without an edueation sinke to & mere
drudgoe and can never hope to attain an
equal position in society with other pre
fossions; and he may boast as he will,
but hie canot make his farmy produce
like the intelligent, well read man; who
studics agriculture as a science,
The uneducated farmer wonders why
his sons and his daughters are so anx
ious to leave the farm, to choose other
occupations. Tho reason, my friend, is
obvious; for your sons cannot plow on
with you, if you persist in kupin%tlum
a century bchind the times. Young
men and women, of all trades and pro
fessions, are perfecting themselves in
thoir various callings—-attending scien
tific lectures, reading scientific beoks,
studying improvement in cvery depart
‘ment of labor ; and mark their "progross
in respectability, usefulness and work.
" "'o the intelligent gentloman the farm
holds out far move delightful induce
ments than any trade. He enters the
profession wifh a desire and determina
tion to elevate it ; and he sucoeeds, tos,
just in proportion to his gemeral -caiture.
Opportunities for agricultural training .
are opening over the whele couatry,
and parents would do well to place in
the hands of their sons, scientific boeks
and papers, if they wish them to remain
on the farm; alse, give them an’oppor
tunity to attend a courso of lectvres on
agriculture. i sl 1o
. Your children would soon look with
altored eyes upon the farm lifc; and”
what & differont aspect would ‘many @
