TO Er MOTEM.
Ormr, rvo heard fall from thy lips,
The touching tale of Jesus' love
And oft thou'st told thy prattling boy
To seek a home in heaven above.
I heid. thy words and gentle tone,
They fdl like music on my heart.
I cherished them in boyish days
- In manhood's, they shall not depart.
-weet spirit of tho sainted dead,
Wilt thou cast but one look on me?
Tell me if I, thy will have done
And am I yet beloved by thee.
C4h!Mother, from those blissful realms,
Look down upon thy lonely boy;
e still to him a generous friend,
That all he does may give thee joy.
Stay mother in that heavenly clime
Thy words will e'er remembered be,
l'ill time shall cease to be no more,
And then thy boy will go to thee.
- tea, in that grand terrific day,
;'Thy boy will oe'r earth's ruins soar,
-And join in that realm of bliss,
To part with thee dear one, no more.
-THE XODEST Cr.
Not long since, there came to our city an
anassuming young man, whose delicate
-fiealth had prevented him from entering the
ministry, and made it advisable that he should
'codmence business as a merchant's clerk.
lEtitering an establishment here, he found
himself the room-mate of the head clerk, a
znoralistand proud of his virtues, and of a
-second clerk, kind, but gay and thoughtless.
-And now came the first struggle of duty.
Should, he retire without reading the Scrip
tures and prayer! Conscience told him his
duty, but his fears answered, " Give me any
cross but that."
After two months of disquiet and remorse,
days of ceaseless unrest and nights of sleep.
less trouble, he drew forth his mother's Bible
from his- trunk, and endeavored to extract
consolation, from it; but alas, he saw that
those who would find rest must take.the
yoke.; and every passage seemed addressed
-to-him, summoning him to take up the cross,
-however great the sacrifice. He resolved to
obey. That night; however, his companions
'enteted the room unusual gay, and amid
laughing and trifling and varied conversa
tion, there seemed no place to introduce de.
votional exercises. He anxiously awaited
t6 favorable moment, but it came not; and
when sleep succeeded to silence, he had
failed of duty, and was again in distress.
The night was spent in penitent confession
and secret-resolutions for the next evening.
These resolutions he determined nothing
should thwart.
As the trio were again brought together
1their-:room for. retirement, he saw the
die had come. With trepidation and trem
*Uti,- he said to the eldest clerk, " Henry,
We havre been room-mates for a long time,
itd have niever prayed together. Let us
negsst Ithis -duty no' longer. I have done
wronid delaving as I have." The moralist
Wasisatruck dumb with amazement. The
other cerk& was silent also. *He opened that
dar Bibles of:hirsmother, read,- kneeled by
-hishhair fand thefwas verified the promise,
4Ihimlonse to pasa'that before they call,
.frilLaza~er-:-and whilethey are yet-speak
inigA -ivilbinia." Night after night the
threelsks' bent tleeknee in prayetx. The
snoralistr asknowledged a power he knew
idthiog o> .Conviction ensued, and he is
wd ejoicing in-the hope which maketh not
inhamed, and ascribes flis first impressions
to thatyprayer of the trembling junior clerk.
Howv heavy-the cross when it is a cross in
anticipation; how light the cross w~hen it is
the cross 'remembered. -How insignificant
the consequences when anticipation mea
sures them by her fears; how immense the
consequences -when the reality arrives.
[American Messenger.
NHow simple and beautiful, has Abdel
Madir, Ghillion, impressed us with the love
of~truth in':his childhood. After stating the
vision which made him entreat his mother
tiy go to -Bagdad and devote himself to God,
he thus-proceeds:
"I1 informed her what I had seen and she
wept.; then taking out eighty - dinnars she
told: me I:-had a brother, half of that
was amy -inheritance; she made me swear
when she gave it to me, never to tell a lie,
and-afterwards bade me farewall, exclaim
ing-" Go, my son, I consign thee to God."
:" I -went on well, till I came near Ha
manduia,- when our dafillah wvas plundered
bAffty horsemen. One fellowv asked what
ahd got."
w*Forty dinnars," said I, "are sewed
mnder my garments."
iPhefellow laughed, thinking no doubt 1
Whthave you gott" said another.
-When they were dividing the spoil, I. was
called to an eminence where the chief stood.
. "What property have you got, my little
fellow"uaid he..
"1I-have told two- of your people already,"
I veplied; "1have forty dinnars sewed in my
garments." -
He ordered them ripped. open, and found
my money.
" And how came you," said he in surprise,
to declarE so openly what had been so care
fully concealed?
- " Because I will not be false to~ my moth
er, to whom I have promised I never teill
tell a lie."
" Child," said the robber, "hast thou
such a sense of duty to thy mother, at thy
years, and I am insensible at my age of the
duty I owe my Godi Give me thy hand,
innocent boy," he continued, "that I may
swear repentance upon it."
He did so. His followers were all alike
struck with the scene.
" You have been our leader in guilt." said
they to the chief, " be the same in the path
of virtue."
And they instantly, at his command made
restitution of the spoils, and vowed repen
tance on his hand.-History of Persia.

AGRICULTURAL TRUTHS.
1. Unless a farmer feeds his land, his
land will not feed him.
2; All wet lands should be drained. B3
draining them, the most stiff and intractible
soils may be changed into friable ones; the
labor of culture will be reduced, the quanti.
ty of the products increased, and their quali.
ty improved; while the health of the plac
will also be improved.
3. Wet lands, which may need it, shoulc
always be drained before application ol
lime or marl, and time should be allowed
for the soil to become comparatively dry
before being plowed, or the lime or mar
applied.
4. Lands which may have been drained
by covered drains, should be plowed cross
wise the drains, until the soil which sur.
mounts them shall have become settled and
firm.
5. It may be assumed as a fact, that lands
which may have been in culture for a long
series of years, from a dressing or lime, ox
marl.
6. Stiff lands will bear heavier dressings
of lime or marl, than sandy ones. Stiff lands
which may have been in grass, will bear
more than those whereon grass or clover
had not been cultivated. First applications
of lime or marl, to his sandy lands, should
always be small ones, preceded by nutritive
manures; second applications of lime or
marl not to be repeated unless after such
lands have been in grass and clover, or re
ceived large dressing of manures compris
ing much organic matters.
7. Deep tilth is conductive to fruitfulness
in crops; but it possibly may be safest, tc
increase the depth gradually, manure with a
free and liberal hand, and to apply lime
each time the soil may be deepened; which
should never exceed more than one or two
inches of the hard pan, in any one year;
that to be regulated by the character of the
soil to be turned up. Such deepeninrgs
should always be made in the fall, to give
the inverted soil the benefit of the neutral.
izing effects of the lime, and the disinte
grating influence of the winter's frosts.
Twenty-five bushels of freshly slacked lime
per acre, spread over the upturned earth,
would answer for such purpose.
8- As to what is nutritive manure, it may
be defined to be, any animal substance, the
excretions of animals, or any vegetable sub.
stnce-as any thing which has had life,
has the power of reproduction.
9. All lands which may have been limed,
or marled, should be speedily thereafter set
in clover, or grass, as permanent improve
ment cannot be effected, without the soil be
so treated as to keep up a stock of organic
matter therein, to be wrought up into food
by the decomposing action of the lime, or
marl. The calcareous'element in each,
wvhich is the great principle in either that
renders it eflectiie, requiringt wherewithal to
work with.~
10. As the late Judge Peters ssid :-Far
mers should value manure as a miser does
his -strong box-should grasp- -after and
hoard it ats eagerly and' anuxiously as a cov
etous man accumulates-treasure.
11. One of the best methods of applying
lime to light sandy lands is to make a com
post of lime and clay, work it over well,
several times, so as to mix the lime intimate
ly wvith the clay ; top-dress the land with the
mixture, after being plowed, and then harrow
the compost in. Ten loads of clay and 25
bushels of lime thus treated, wotuld form an
excellent dressing for an acre of such land
and would have the double effect of supply
ing the soil with the necessary calcerous
principle and of amending its texture.
12. Orchards, to ensure continued fruit
fulness and fair frunit, should be periodically
manured, in order that the fruit carried off
annually in the fruit, should he restored to
the soil. Six parts 'peat and two of lime,
or six parts marsh mud and twvo of marl,
would form an excellent dressing, in the
proportion of 20 loads to the acre; the cost
of which might b'e coveretd, by growing a
crop of corn, potatoes, or other roots there
on, the year of any such application.
13. Orchards should not be kept perma
nently in grass, as it answ'ers for a harbor
for vermin, w~hile it robs the trees of the
food that should be appropriated to' themn.

From the Southern Cultivator.
TOPPIG COTTON
Some of our readers, wte trust, wiill experi
ment on the benefits to be dlerived from
topping cotton. T1he question should lie
settled wvhether any advantage is attaina
ble by this practice; and if any, how much i
As a system of seasonable pruning, it
should be followed, if followed at all, with
sound judgment. It is not the largest weeds
or plants that always yield the most lint
and how to argument the growth of th'e
staple, as composed with the other parts of
the plant, is the knowvledge wvhich all plan
ters should aim to develope. If we had a
field of growing cotton, we should not only
experiment in topping a portion of it, but
apply ashes (caustic or undipped) to about
one or two hundred hills of plants in June.
A gill to a plant scattered about over a
foot or 18 inches square, and dug into the
soil might aid much in developing forms
and fillingthem with seed and lint. Guano,
and urine, ought to be tried in a similar
manner; and lime, plaster and salt, as well
as manure, may be worked in about the
stems and needy roots of cotton and corn,
when tilled in June,
The art of feeding cultivated plants on
scientific principles is in its infancy. Ex
periments are much needed to verify or
falsify the suggestions of agr-icultural chem
ists. All wvant more light, and all should
lend a helping hand to increase and diffuse
it. ' We are not to expect miracles in behalf
of improvements -in agriculture. Progress
is wholly impossible without effort. The
pursuit of the farmer has remained in sonme
nations without material change for thou
sands of years. Cultivators of the soil did
not try to improve either themselves or
their paternal acres; and therefore no im
provement in either was attained. Let our
friends be admonished in a spirit of national
progress, that if they stand still the world
will not. -Indeed, there is some reason to
fear that if one refuses to advance wvith this
advancing age, he will be trodden under
foot and cr-nshed intf' thie earth as a "om
berer of the grdund."--' .
G~O on'iE'u, .No' branch i
bandry is more neglocted than the garden.
Those farmers who liv6 too far from market
to indulge in the Inxnry of fresh meat are
still content to dine ontsalt- pork or beer,
with the addition of potatoes only, -rather
thin devote a few hours to the cultivation of
a kitchen garden. But health and good
taste demand that a' farmer's table: should
contain a full variety of vegetables. Rad
ishes, lettuce, cauliflowers,. beans, peas, to
matoes, beets, turnips, and indeed many
others, should be found thero.in the proper
seasons, vhile melons and the small fruits
will furnish the breakfast and evening board
with healthful luxuries.
Rasberries, strawberries and blackberries,
may be grown almost without labor, and
with due attention, their improvement in
quality will fully compensate for the pains
taken.
If farmers wish their children to be fond
of home, they should at least furnish them
with such luxuries as every journeyman
mechanic would purchase in the large citie
for the use of his family, particularly when
he can do so at compartively little cost.
[Working Farmer.
CONSISTENCY OF FARMERS.-We find in
a paper read before the Society of Arts by
Mr. Machi, the following home thrusts al
some of the inconsistence of farmers:
"Farmers dig their - gardens two feel
deep, but only plow their lands five inches
They take especial care of their nag horses
in a good warm stable but expose the farm
horses and cattle to all weathers. They
deny the utility of drainage in strong tena
cious clays, but dare not dig an under.
ground cellar .in such soils, because the
water would get in. They waste theii
liquid manure, but buy guano from Peru tc
repair the loss, and some practicle men
who are in ectasies with the urine of the
sheep fold, have been known seriously tc
doubt the benefit of liquid manure. But, ii
may be asked, " Where is the capital tc
I come for all these improvements ?" The
reply will be, " Where does the capital come
from to make railways and docks, to buil
steam veseels, to erect a whole town of new
squares and streets, and to carry out ever3
other useful and profitable undertaking I"
