#0R' TflE JOURNAL. The following thoughts on TtoMyht, ] ?both the prose and poetry, I find c copied in an old scrap-book. They may p fie found digestible by some of your t readers, especially the sentimental.? t You cau take them for what they are a worth: J>1. d "The sun ht.d. already sunk behind <j fhe mountains, whose undulating forms t were thrown into dark shadows, against a Che crimson sky. The thin crescent of 1 the new moon floated over the eastern ? hills, whose deep wood glowed with the 5 rosy glories of twilight. Ou the peak c of a purple mountain, glittered the soli- t tary stat. of ovening. As the sun I dropped, universal silence seemed to p pervade the whole face of nature. The t voice of the birds was stilled; the breeze, s which' had refreshed them during the q day, died away, as if its office were t completed;and none of the dark sights s and sounds of hideous night yet dared f to triumph over the death of lay. * * * I What heart has not acknowledged the s influence of this hour?the sweet, the p * * * /* ? 7i iL. 1 .f sootnmg nour or iwuiyni?rue nuur ui s iove, the hour of adoration, the hour of t rest t when we think of those we love, t only to regret we have not loved more i: dearly; when we remember our enemies, f ?uly to forgive them I" i I love thee, Twilight.tas thy shadows roll-'' 8 The calm of evening steals upon my soul, t Sublimely tender, solemnly serene, f Still as the hour, enchanting as the scene. I love thee, Twilight, for thy gleams impart Their dear, tiheir dying influence to my heart, 0 When o'er the harp of thought thy passing F wind, d Awakens all the music of the mind: a Antfjoy and sorrow, as the spirit burns, 0 And hope and memory sweep the cords by turns, While contemplation, on seraphic wings. ? Mounts with fie flame of sacrifice ar d sings. ? Twilight, I love thee; let thy gl >on s increase f Till every feeling, every pulse is peace, Slow from the sky the light of day declines, Clearer withfn the dawn of glory shines, Recalling in the hour of Nature's rest, 1 A world of wonders in the Poets breast, c ? Deeper, 0 Twilight, let thy shadows roll, 0 An-awful vision opens on my soul." f Dead Animals?Anitnal matter contains every element tbat is necessary to grow every plant known. In it are r phosphate and carbonate of lime, am- ^ -mooia, carbon, in short, in the best from, c ail the essentials of vegetable growth. n Whenever a fowl, cat, dog, sheep, pig, r Horse, or cow dies let the carcass be cut 11 f and' added to the manure heap. The carcass of a single horse will turn loads 11 of useless muck or peat into manure, 11 richer than any ordinary barn yard dung. Why then suffer it to decay uselessly 8 and annoyingly ? It is true it is not lost, 11 for the gases that taint the air are ap- ^ propriated by. plants, but the farmer ^ who owned the animal gets but a small portion of what should be all his own. 5 Why will he waste the deal energies of the horse when he has lost the living ones ? i If our readers will heed what we say, fcboy will not suffer dead animals to annoy the eye and disgust the nose hereafter. Bury them in-the manure heap; add ^ some quick lime to hasten decay, and y. charcoal dust or plaster to absorb the _ gases, and much will be gained in (_ the good appearance of the farm and in the quality of the manure. If your I neighbor be so improvident as to waste ' a dead animal, beg it of him, that it ^ may not be detrimental to health and useless to vegetation. Laws should be passed to compel the saving of this most powerful of fertilizers, when common sense and decency fail to do it. Whenever it is desirable to hasten decay, and rapidly turn animal matter into manure, sulphuric acid may be used. This would be too expensive, (although * the-acid' is cheap) for farm purposes, ^ but may be employed for gardens, where * expense is not so important. It is fre- c quently desirable to have a rich manure a in the garden, and it is not at hand.? i' Animal matter put into sulphuric acid 8 will in a few hours furnish it. Every ? hnn?r> toil! Bnnri?Tr rr>nr?t> rofneo nnimnl P. ?? ?ffj .v.v.?v II matter. To this, rats, mice, feathers, p hair, bones, horn, etc , may be added. t: If the garbage of a slaughter-house can a be got, it should be. All these will soon jj f 1 i . ? - oe reauceu to an available state, be in- y offensive, anil add great fertility to the f< soil where used. The requisite quantity of acid may be ascertained by experiment?about ten or fifteen pounds is a usually allowed for one hundred pounds a of animal matter.?Ruralist. If you plow down your weeds before ^ they go to seed they will prove a benefit to your land iusteud of a curse. If they are allowed to go to seed they will be a source of endless trouble. Plowed under, they are worth as much as a dress- j ing as manure. [Besides enriching the 5 soil they tend to keep it loose. Efforts for a Cotton Sltfly.? t is said that the Cotton Supply Association in England is preparing to make ;reat efforts to stimulate the growth and rade in cotton from India. A rcsolnion was passed at a late meeting of this ssociation, to the effect that the speedy levelopmentofthe railway system in Inlia is necessary in order to facilitate the ransportation of cotton in that country I 1 - * /* ? ?_ a. t? 1 nd toe importation 01 u^mto J'jiigiauu. The reason given for this was the insuficiency of the supply from the Uuited Jtates, and it is said the stock of Amerian cotton is not large enough to keep he mills of Lancashire fully engaged. Iitherto the great efforts and vast exlendiiure of money by England to meet he falling off of American cotton conequcnt upon the war, and the subsc[ucnt disorganization of labor, have not icen adequate to the exigency, notwithtanding the large increase which has ollowed the stimulated production in ndia and Egypt. American cotton is till indispensable. Our long staple especially, so far as is known has no subtitute in the world. There is acombilation of natural advantages here for its irndnntinn wliieh is not believed to ex st anywhere else. The cotton manuacturers of England have been changng their machinery to suit the short taple artie'e of India and other counries. There will no necessity, however, or such a resort, the Baltimore Sun reaarks, if there can be such a restoration if the Southern States to their normal lolitical relations as will inspire confilence, introduce capital enough to cnblethe planters to extend their planting iperations, and re-organize labor and ender it reliable Efforts, as is well mown, are making to introduce in the louth a large emigration of laborers rom China, but whether this shall prove uccessful or not, there is labor enough here now, if relieved from the demora!zing influences of intermeddling politial adventurers, to produce as a crop f cotton as was raised in any year beore the war.? Columbia Phoenix. Southern Manufactures ?The ecent exhibition of textile fabrics in Cincinnati, it is stated, shows that the louth is largely extending its cotton aanufactories. According to the latest > eports, Georgia has forty-seven cctton lills; South Corolina, forty; Missouri, wenty-seven ; Alabama, eleven; Tcnicssce, forty; and there arc also many aills in North Carolina and South Caroina. The produet*generally is fine hirtings and sheetings, and the spcciaens exhibited at Cincinnati compared avorably with the goods from the New Cngland manufactories. WITH CAROLINA RAILROAD, Gen'l.
