In a quiet shady spot, Just peeping through,lhalf hid from view, Stands a little moss-grown cot; And, straying through at the open door, The sumbeams play on the sanded floor. The easy chair, all patched with care, Is placed by the old hearth-stone; With witching grace, in the old fireplace, The evergreens are strewn; And pictares hang on the whitened wall, And the old clock ticks in the cottage hall. More lovely still, on the window-sill, The dew-eyed flowersirest, While, 'midst the.leaves on. the moss-grown eaves, The mrtin builds her nest; And all day long the summer breeze Is whispering love to the bended trees. Over the door, all covered o'er With a sack of dark-green baize, Lies a musket old, whose worth is told In the events of other days; And the powder fiask, and the hunter's horn, Have hung beside it.for many a morn. For years have fled with noiseless tread, Like fairy dreams away, And left in their fight, all shorn of his might, A father, old and gray; And the soft winds play with his snow-white hair, And the old man sleeps in his easy-chair. Inside the door, on the sandy floor, Light, airy footsteps glide, And a maiden fair, with flaxen hair, Kinesis by. the old man's side An old oak wrecked by the angry storm, While the ivy eligs to its trembling form. 14eation of'Crops Essential to Keep up Fertility of Soils. The necessary steps toward an improved husbandry are: 1. To cultivate less land. 2. To make that which is cultivated rich in plant food, so that it may produce large crops. 2. The practice of a rigid system of rotation of crops, and mixed farming. 4. The culti vation of the grasses and less of hoed crops and feeding upon the farm the most of its products. 5. Enriching the land by turning oin der green erops. All observation and experience go to show that *those sections of the oouatry are most prosperous where~ a mixed&sys temn of farming prevails.. The farmer who Ands.t his owa~garners that whiqh is n.eeded to sapply his daily wants, is far removed from the 'eexation and losses attendant upoa outside purchases, which so severely tax his means. It is not unfrequently the case, when he produces but a single article for the market, that it commands a *price which but poorly compen sates him for his labor, while he has to pay exorbitant prices for that which he is compelled to pur chase. This is "selling the hide for a penny, and buying back the tail for a shilling," which surely is not a profitable transaction,. Mixed agriculture necessarily leads to a system of rotation of orops which is the key to successfuil farming. That there is a vasb recuperative power in lands where a succession of dif ferent crops is grown no one can deny in the light of universal ex perience. Thousands of those who have hitherto devoted themselves to a single production-cotton, tobacco or grain-now acknow ledge this error. Successive crops of the same character exhaust lands of the par ticular food they require, with great rapidity. The aid which nature so freely renders, where crops rotate, is withheld in such a system of cultivation, because the farmer is violating her l,aws., To fight against gam is to war at fearfu.1 odds, and it is not difficult to forecast the result, To work in armony with her, insures a com paratively easy victory. One of the most beautiful of'her provisions is, that while one crop exhausts the soil of that element which enters most largely into its rcomnposition, advantage if we expect her aid. As an illustration of this principle, we know that clover does not suc cessfully follow itself, although it leaves the ground in the best pos sible condition for corn or wheat. One crop, therefore, restores, in a measure, what another has taken. By raising continuously the same plit, you interfere with this beau tiful contrivance of nature to re build her wasted strength. Nature, therefore, will do much of our work for us if we only second her efforts, and give full scope t. her beneficeut laws. It is, there fore, a question far the farmer to determine whether he will by a rotation of crops, have soil thus enriched by drafts on nature's treasury, or draw entirely upon his own. I do not mean to argue that there is nothing for the farm er to do to make his lands produc tive. Far from it. But I do argue that he may make ;nature a co worker with him in attaining a de sirable end. - Change is a promi nent feature in nature's economy. Gut down the forest of hard wood and the pines succeed. Again, re move the pine and the hard wood reappears. One kind of grass suc ceeds another, and nature supplies the seed. These changes give the soil rest, to the end that the pro cess of re-invigoration may go on. Day and night succeed each other, and each performs 1l its function in promoting vegetable life. Eternal sunshine ~would result in eternal blight. The falling dew brings with it the nitrogen from the air to gladden"vegetation. The sun appears. ;Its light and heat liber ate the acids and gases which en ter upon their work of usefulness in preparing a variety oi vegetable food. Winter and summer follow each other. Frost disintegrates and renders the earth porous, open ing the way for the heat and mois ture. of summer, so that chemical laws may work out thgir beautiful results. Thus unceasingly year after year, the silent agencies are at work preparing the earth for man's use, that it may bring forth abundantly of everything which is necessary for his support.-Judge William Fullerton in New York World. WARTs ON ANimALs.-Inq~uiries are made for a "cure for warts" of different kinds on horses, mules and cattle. Many remedies are prescribed-many barbarous and cruel to the animal. I will give you a remedy often tried and never known to fail. Annoint the wart three times with clean fresh hog's lard, about two days between times. I have had warts on my horses bleeding warts of large size, rat tling warts and seed warts, to the number of more than one hundred on one horse's head. I have never been able to find the warts for the third application of the lard. Al] disappear after the second applica tion. I have sent-this prescription to several agricultural papers, hop ing it would be of some use to farm ers. But they all seem slow to be lee; perhaps because the remedy is at hand and costs nothing. It ought to be at the head of the vet erinary column of every agricul tural paper. I own I was slow to believe myself, but having a fine young mare with large bleeding warts, that covered parts of the bridle and girths with blood when ever used, I thought there would be no harm in trying lar d on them. When the mare was got up for the third application there were no warts, and the scars are there now, after more than fifteen years, with very little change.-German town Telegraph.

The reputation it has attained, in consequence of the marvellous cures it has produced during the last half cen tury, is a suflicient assurance to the public that it will continue to realize the happiest results that can be desired. In almost every section of country there are persons, publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use. All who have tried it ac knowledge its superiority; and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates as to what medicine to employ to re lieve the distress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary affections. CHERRY PEC -ORAL always affords instant relief, and performs rapid cures of the milder va rities of bronchial disorder, as well as the more formidable diseases of the lungs. As a safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which b)eset the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it is invaluable; for, by its timlely use, multitudes are rescued and restored to health. This medicine gains friends at every trial, as the cures it is constantly producing are too remarkable to be forgotten. No family should be with out it, and those who have once used it never will. Eminent Physicians throughout the country prescribe it, and Clergymlen often recommend it from their knowl edge of its effects. PREPARED BY Dr. i.

'HE SUN FOR 1880. THE Srt will deal with the events of the -ar 1'0 in its own tashion. n1w pretty well lerstood1 Ib y everybody- From .January Cintil Decemllber 31 it will be conducted as newspraper, written in the English lan atg,e. and( print ea for the people. As a newspaper, TIE SrN believes in get ng all the neWs of the worll promptIy.and r,senting it in the most intelligible shape tihe shape that will enable its readers to rep well abrcast of the age with the least 11)roltletive expenditure of ltine. The at4"-t interest to the greate-t nounber ::t is. the law controlling its daily make p. It now has a circulation very much u:ler thin that of any other American ewspaper, and enjoys an income which it at all times prepared to spend1i liberally >r tlh benetit. of its readers. People of all )n1,litiois of life and all ways of thinking V :nd read TilE SUN : and I hey all derive itistaction of :O11e sort from its colUmn111s, )r they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments on men anti affairs, THE rN believes that the only guile of policy oill be coulnon sense, inspirei by gen i111 Anerican principles ani baked by onesty of purpose. For this reason it is, ui wiil continue to be. absolutely ide em ient of party. class, clique. organization, r interest. It is for all. hut of none. Itw ill rmttintte to praise whats is good and repro ate what is evil, taking care that its I1an uage is to the point and plain. bCyond the ossibility of being misunderstood. It is nintluenced by motives that do not ap ear on the strtace; it has no opinions to ell, save those which may be had by any urchaser with two cents. It hates in ist.ice and rascality even more than it hates nnecessary words. It abhors fratuds, pities >ols. and deplores nincompoops of every pecies. It will continue throughout the ear 1$0 to chastise the first class, instruct ic second, and discountenance the third. 11 honest men, with honest convictions, dhether sound or mistaken, are its friends. tnd THE SUN imakes no bones of telling the ruth to its friends and about its friends rhenever occasion arises for plain speak rg. 'these are the principles upon which THE UN will be conducted during the year to ome. The year 1580 will be one in which no pa riotie American can atlord to close his eyes o public affairs. It is impossible to exag erate the importance of the political events rhich it has in store, or the necessity of re olute vigilance wn the part of every citizen .ho desires to preserve the Government hat the founders gave us. The debates and .ets of Congress, the utterances of the press, he exciting contests of the Republican and )enocratic parties now nearly equal in trength throughout the country. the vary ng drift of public sentiment, will all bear irectly and effectively upon the twenty ourth Presidential election, to be held in lovember. Four years ago next November he will of the nation, as -expressed at the olls, was thwarted by an abominable con piracy, the promoters and beneficiaries of whieh still hold the oftices they stole. Will he crime of 1876 be repeated in 1580 ? The iast decade of years opened with a corrupt, xtravagent, and insolent Administration atrenched at Washington. THE SUN did omnething toward dislodging the gang and reaking its power. The same ien are now ntriguing to restore their leader and them elves to places from which they were driv :n by the indignation of the people. Will hey succed? The coming year will bring he answers to these momentous. THE SUN ill be on hand to chronicle the facts as hey are developed, and to exhibit them learly and fearlessly in their relations to pediency and right. Thus, with a habit of philosophical good tumor inlooking at the mlinor affairs of ife, and in great things a steadfast purpose o maintain the rights of the people and lie principles of the Constitution against all .ggressors, THE SUN is prepared to write a ruthful, instructive, and at the same time ntertaining history ot 1880.

It is finished soft as the cotton from which it is made; it has no waxing or artificial fin ish to deceive the eyes; it is the strongest. smoothest and most elastic sewing thread in the market: for machine sewing it has I no equal; it is wound on WHITE SPOOLS. The Black is the most perfect JE T BLICK t ever produced in spool cotton, being dyed by a system patented by ourselves. The colors are dyed by the NEW ANILINE PROCESS rendering them so perfect and brilliant that dressmakers everywhere use them inlsteadI of sewing silks. A Gold Medal was awarded this spool cot tou at Paris, 1878. for "great st rength" and "general excellence" being the highest award given for spool cotton.
