Your weddin; ring wears thin, dear wife ; ak,

Sine* I put it on your ?rger firtt, hara pasted'
o'er mo and you ;
And, lore, what changes we have seen-what
cares and pleasures too
Sine? you became my own dear wife, whee this
old ring waa new.
0! blessings on that happy day, the happiest of
my life,
When, thanks to God,-your low, tweet "yea"
made yew my loving wife :
Your heart will say th? sam?, I know; that day's
as dear to you.
That day that made me your's, dear wlf?, wb?a

How wall do I r?m?mh?r new, your young, sweet

How fair you were-how dear you were-my

Bat did I lore yoe mort than BOW, whea this old
ring was new ?
No-BO; no dearer wert yo? thea than at this
hour to me,
And dear as life to me this day, how dearer could

As your sweet fae? might b? that day ts.now it
is, 'tit true.
Bat did I know your heart as wall whoa this old
ring wai new ?
01 partner of my gladness, wi''?, what care, what
grief is thar?,
Por me you woald not bravely face-with me you
would not nh ar? !
01 what a weary want had er*ry day, if wanting
you,
Wanting the loro that Ood mad? mia? whea this
old ring was new.
Years bring fresh links to bind us, wife-small
voices that ar? her?,
Small roices round ?ur fire that makes their
mother's yet more dear
Small loring heurts, your caro oaoh day makes
yet more like you,
Sf ors Ilk? tho loring heart made raine wheo this

The past is dour ; its sweetness still our memoriet

The griefs we've borne, together bore, we would

Whatever, wife, tte future brings, heart unto

A Flan for Doublingthe Amount of Con*
to Each Plow Horse.
Let every farmer proceed at once to break
bis landa intended for corn to the greatest
possible depth. This preparation will be great
Jv facilitated by the very deep freeziugof the
late cold woather. Immediately before plant
ing, introduce a two horse harrow, and con
tinue the operation until the earth is thor
oughly pulverized and smooth as a plaut bed.
Then check with a boll tongue both ways
before planting, at distance? regulated in
refereuce to tko strength of the land, tak
ing care that the dropper pursues the furrow,
first laid off, instead of those that cross them,
which will c*u*e the plant? to stand iu a di
rect line both ways. As soon as the corn is
up, commence plowing with a buzzard, pr
M weep, (as they are called by manr,) not leis
than twenty-two inches in width, so construc
ted as to skin the surface only au iach deep,
aud with two furrows to each row. The next
time cross plow with the same instrument,
and so on uutil the crop has attained age and
size sufficient to need co farther attention.
ITS A UV A N Ta J KS.
1st. Each plow horse can cultivate forty
acres on this plan as eis ?lr as twenty in the
common way, simply because two furrows an
swer the purpose of four, and the dr^ft is be
lieved to be lightened fifty per cent.
2d. This plan Of surface cultivation imposes
no drawback upon the plants from a lacera- !
tion of their roots. The light reflected upon
this subject by thc science of vegetable phy- !
siology, and facts founded on experience of
late years have convinced many close obser
vers that they have plowed too much. It ?3
through their roots that the plants obtain
their nourishment from the soil, and hence it
is that frequent plowings, that tear away at
least hali of them at each operation, must ex
ert a very retarding influence over their
growth acd development. Every observing
man has seen very promising crops almost
ruined, especially at tho laat plowing, by the
destruction of their roots or feeders at the
very time their united contributions were re
quired to perfect the ea?.
lid. Corn thus cultivated, upon a soil deep
ly broken, will be less injured by drought.
Very few of the suriace roots are destroyed,
and the plants obtain the requisite moisture
from those that hare penetrated more deeply
into the earth, none of which are injured by i
the Hurface plow.
4th. A crop thus cultivated attains earlier
maturity, and exhibits silks and tassels about
ten days curlier than in fields plowed iu the
usual way.
5th. Tn? use of the hoe is scarcely requir
ed wiiere the crop is dropped and planted as
directed.
nth. From planting time until the crops
are matured, no outlay for the repair of im
plements is required. Thc sweep or buzzard,
thc only one used, actiug ou a soft and well
pulverized surface will last for years.
7th. The rrop has a firmar foothold in the
soil, ?nd will be found eroct after gales that
prostrate fields where tho plow Las been
uacd.
i adopted ibeabova pUuof cultivating the
own crop on ?ll we?i broken lauds, some len
years since, and with tile most encouraging
result* at all times, s.ud ululer overy variety
of seasous, and with scarcely mor;: than half
the labor-tor tuan and Dorso required hy the
c?mmon plan. Plowing with thc sweep ta so
easily and BO cuickly done, and the field? ao
often pa*sed over, that the plowman will ba
pleased lo discover thu instead of killing
grass and weeds his effo. ta have effectually
prevented them.
It will be objected that teoaciou3 clay landa
are liable to became too hard. This will not
happen if well broken before planting. Heavy
rains, followed by hot sunshine, will break
the surface aud form au indurated crust. But
let any gantletuaa commence boring with his
finger, as I have often done, and fae will dis
cover thia ernst is seldom half an inch ?hick,
whilst all below is. in a condition favorable
to the expansion of thc roots of plants. Skin
ning the surface an inch deep soon after heavy
rains on such soils, pulverizers this crust and
imparts to it anew the power of absorbing
J ammonia, and " othr r atmospheric fertilisers,
so exhilarating to the growing crop.
Profoundly impressed with the importance
I of provision crops the coming year, ia the
present condition of our country, I have been
j induced to submit the results of my observa
I tiona, "backed by a aeries of well tr jed experi
! meats, to the consideration of the (armers of
tho country. It is conceded on all aides that
there is an alarming deficiency of horse pow
er in alllhe agricultural Districts, and hence
the necessity of making that power available
to the fullest extent, in supplying the wants
of the people. Others will do as they maj
think best, but J, as heretofore, will continue
to prove my faith by my works.

CASK OF DESPERATION-An old lady went
to tho passenger depot, in Atlanta, tr few days
since, with a bundle of clothes and a little
bag of sugar, and seating herself, began a
soliloquy in this wi9e : " Wal, I hearn tell on
a good stealin' in this yer town, but they can't
steal from me,'" and after thus delivering her
self, carefully placed her bundles under her
head, and before she know it, dropped off in
to a snooze. After a refreshing nap, she
awoke, and discovering, to her great amaze
ment, that her dry goods and sugar had dis
appeared, the jumped up, and, standing erect,
with her face lifted skyward, exclaimed,
" Bless God, the Heaven's above me and the
eartha beneath me, and here I stand, just as
I am, without a rag ! Thank Qnd they can't
wear my petticoat, 'cau.e that's got my namo
on it, but they can eat my sugar 1"-Atlanta

DESECRATION or TEH SABBATH.-A corres
pondent of the Mississippian writes :
One of the most lamentable and alarming
signs of the times in our struggle for liberty,
is the unparalleled desecration of the Sabbath
day ; that day which God has commanded to
be kept holy. Mea may affect to. score such
old fashioned Puritanism and avail themselves
of every frivolous excuse for violating this
sacred day, but we have more to fear from
this and kindred evils that prevail in our land,
than we have from bankruptcy, starvation, or
?J1 the boasted armies of the enemy.
|ggr A STOCK SERMON-A young-man on
the ere of going to Australia, heard hin father
preach from the text, Adam, where art
thou?"
On his return, after a long absence, he
went or. the first Sunday, as wa3 proper, to
his father's church, when the old gentleman
read out the same text, " Adam, where art
thou ?"
" Mother," said tho son, who was BvmctTiing
of a wag, " hah father not fouud Adam >?.t ?"

Fall of Jackson.
Special to the Mobile Advertiser.
MERIDIAN, Feb. 9.
The ad rn nee of the enemy across Big Black
was at first successfully disputed by Rosa1
brigade, and the Yankees driven off the field,
leaving their dead and wounded.
Their infantry then came up, advancing
rapidly, and determined, slowly driving bnck
Leo's cavalry which opposed them.
Overwhelming numbers swept upon oar
forces, compelling their retreat to Jackson to
which point the enemy have so far' success
fully advance.
There has been no general engagement I
can learn of, but .pur forcea are concentrated,
and it ia probable that the enemy will.not at
tempt to advance further at present, but will
rest satisfied with the occupation of Jackson,
while reinforcements, and supplies can be
brought to his aid. He may nevertheless, be
dislodged.
It it believed in Jticbmond that Meade's
command has been reduced to twenty-five thou-.?}
sand men, and that it will soon fall back on Wash
