Up from inertia, by efl'uaion Of protoplasmic evolutiou Through oysters, apes and myriad creature* Of varied forma and dive raw natures; impelled on epontamdc plan. To reach the ultimate in man. Why atop at man ? Is he perfection ? If not, your system needs rejection; For perfect thing* are Just ua real In concrete, aa in the ideal; And if envolved, and not creatod, Man must to higher aphere be gated. Where angel life succeeds the mortal, Within the higher temple’s portal. To shun the presence of that Being Who sees you, while yon are not seeing; Who is the spring of life, and motion, la but a circumventive notion; A shallow trick, a poor invention, Or blunder, if without iutautlon. He loves you still, with all your groping. If yon for higher bliss are hoping.

Haiti. D. W, Aiken in the Rural Carolinian.] Iu the Rural for August, 1874, I published an experiment with red oats, that several friends asserted was an exception, because "it was growing oats too cheap.” Another year has come and gone. I have re peated the experiment, succeeded equally as well, and am pleased to say I have witnessed a better success with more than one of my neighbors. Red oats can be grown at an expense of 250. per bushel upon any ordinary farm in the South, every such bushel will weigh thirty pounds, and a pound of oats will produce as much muscle and fat as a pound of corn. I have kept a horse for two years without ever feeding to him an ear of corn or a blade Of fodder, his daily diet being shelled oats and straw, or cut oats from the sheaf; he has ploughed, wagoned, been hacked about in a buggy, and ridden under saddle, and there never was a time ho was not ready and willing to do a full share of work. Any land that over I have seen in the South will grow two bushels of oats where it will grow one bushel of corn; each farmer for himself can calculate the cost of growing the two crops. Red oats will yield more grain to the straw, and more delicate straw than any oats I have ever grown. Sown in the fall, they will produce a remunerative crop on good land, even if frozen out during the winter to a single stool to every square foot. They are heavier than liny other and have never been known to take the rust. A few years ago I selected eight adjoining acres, and on them sowed a bushel to each acre of eight varieties of oats. Some were entire ly destroyed by the winter, some were ruined by rust, and all but the red oats were more or less damaged by this parasite. Not even a blade of red oats was touched, though the acre was in the midst of the most thoroughly ruiued. The time is upon its when they should again be sown, though they are remunerative if sown at any time between this and the first, of next March. I prefer to sow in cotton laud broadcast and plough in with three or four sweep) furrows. This lays by a cotton crop as well as sows a small grain crop, hence a saving of half the labor. It is cheaper to sow in the cotton field even if postponed to Sep tember or October, because cotton re quiring clean culture the land is in better tilth, and the fewer furrows are necessary. Thojhands while pick ing cotton during the winter will trample upon the young sprigs, and make them stool out better therefor. Sheep will winter on oats in a cotton field and never moiest the cotton till they have eaten up the oats. Tartar MupersUtlons. While in Khokand, Schuyler be came familiar with many Tartar practices, religious and otherwise, some of Which are extremely curi ous, - “For instance, I was shown how to cut a melon. According to the Ko ran, when an animal is killed for foodi its throat must be cut so that all the blood may-run out. By transfer of ideas, the melon is treated In the same way. First, its throat is cut, that is, a small incision is made in the end farthest from the stem ; then its bead is put off by slicing off a small piece; after that it is cut up lengthways, and with one or two dexterous turns of tire knife the flesh is removed from the rind and cut in to thin, small slices, which are push ed out alternately by the knife. When a mau drinks water, he should iirst take one swallow slowly, while repeating to himself the name of Allah, and then take two swallows, after Which he may gulp down as much as he pleases. When a person hiccoughs, it is common to -say: ‘You stole something from me.’ This is supposed to bring good luck. If you sneeze when I speak to you, it shows that lam right. If a person sneeze three times, it is very unlucky. Yawning is a most sinful and danger ous practice, and arises from an evil place in your heart, which is getting ready for the reception of a wicked spirit. Mohammed never yawned; for. when he was only five years old, he was one day seized in the desert by Gabriel, who pounced upon him like a bird, and cut out the evil place from his heart. If, therefore, you yawn, you should always put up the hand with the palm outward, so as to ward off all the evil spirits that will at once come to you. Among the more puritanical folk, laughter also is bad; and it is said that Hanify, one of the famous Mussulman doctors, lost half of Asia for Islam by laugh ing. Whistling also is bad. If a hus band whistle, something will happen to his wife; and' if children whistle, their father or mother will die. Whistling is also supposed to bring wind, and the Kirghiz frequently whistle for that purpose. A buzzing in one’s ears shows a man isdend, and a prayer is always repeated. There is a beautiful legend connected with this. In heaven there is a tree, on each leaf of which is written the name of some soul, and what men cal’ a buzzing in the ears is a rustling of one of these leaves as it fails from the tree. If the noise in your ears be a ringing, as of bells, it is a Christian soul whose leaf has fallen, and who* is to die, and thus for each faith the noise is different. There is a curious belief abouta little bird called the barlagatch. If, when you first see this bird in the spring, you dig a deep hole under the big toe of your right foot, you will find a coal. With this coal in your hand, go and stand in front of a mosque, bearing also a slim rod. You tnen watch every one who passes, and at last there will be a girl wearing a large hat. You touch her with the rod, and make her stop and go into the Mosque with you, and you can then obtain her hat, which will make you invisible, and allow you to wan der unseen wherever you please.” —‘‘Ho, all ye dyspeptics !” says a pa tent medicine advertisement.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably preductive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we fouud evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation', and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
