Lime anti Salt. Prof. Johnson recommends for fer tilizing purposes, to mix 1 bushel salt and 2 bushels dry lime under cover, and allow the mixture to decompose gradually, thus forming an intimate chemical unison of the two materials. For this purpose the mixture should be at least 6 weeks before use, br, still better, 2 or 3 months, the heap mentioned being turned over occa sionally. This salt and lime mixture, when applied at the rate of 20 or 30 bushels per acre, forms an excellent topdressing for many cr< ps. It act? powerfully on tho vegetable matter . of soils : *56 bu?lol? applied to a tur nip fipld have produced as largo n crop as barnyard man T* i- dso very destructivo to ins .. | grnba in soil.

Salt and plaster mixed are also said to bo a very good top-dressing on some, while on others they, do no good. Plaster does well on some soils and is worthless on others. The same is also, true of both lime and salt, as it. is of most other commercial fertilizers. Let tbese facts bp care fully heeded by farmers and gar deners. -? ? ??-??? From the Ocala (Fla.) Banner.

HORACE GREELY. If there ever was a time for the young men of the country to show of what material they are mane, that time is now upon us. The enforcement of the emancipation policy at the close of the late disastrous war : " 1 pecuni ary to politicfl ruin, ojildndid es tates, the accumulated earnings of generations of economy, industry and skill, hive, by a simple proclamation of the President, "taken to them selves wings and flown to the utmost parts." Distinguished families, long known and honored for their culture,' talent?, ?md spl enJid hospital i ry, have seen their hundred slaves liberated, . their broad fields lying waste, and their style reduced from opulence to rigid simplicity. Old men, with heavy and sorrowful hearts, mourn the loss of their sons and grand sons fallen in the great struggle. The days of their youth and manhood have in vain been spent in labor and toil, and a dreary and comfortless old age is their only reward. Their habits form ed, their labors lost, and their slaves free and impudent. To such, life is indeed cheerless, and their forlorn condition would extort a tear of sym pathy from the most obdurate. Much allowance should" be made when such persons worry and vex themselves at the times, and show great impatience and irritability at the freedmen. ? None of. these alleviating circum stances apply to the young. .

'.Lins fact will become more apparent in a few years than it is now. Men, henceforth?:will be esteemed, not for what their fathers have done forthwn, but for what they do for themselves :tn3 their country. ; An ! what better and nobler deed can they do, than lay hold of the ar and plough, and aid in repairing tho waste and ravages of the '.var? It' every young man . iu Florida would go at once ro work, and thus encourage the freedmen to work, leading them forward and set ting them the example, our countrv would soon be redeemed and disen thralled. The waste. places would bo built np, and the lipids again smile with the rich harvests. Fine, unen cumbered estates would som b<i KV. quired, and our people become able to exhibir their pres ti ne culture and hospitality. A solvent, enterprise >. and industrious aristocracy . won soon spring rp, to honor and ?' cn j labor, and infuse into the .. ? spirit c! independence arid vii . . This most desirable end citn Ix. passed by honoring every /here ti. industrious laborer. All :. rsons influence and position should mark the idle, insist upo:; his going to work to help himself and family and his country. When such persist in indo lence und loafing, brand him with in famy and social di-grace ! Warn and caution your daughters against such, though they display the beauties of Apollo, and dress with the taste and elegance of a gay Lothario. Tiie scavenger on the streets, if he be inT dustrious and honest, should be es teemed above any idler, of however great pretensions. Honor everywhere iiie industrious, honest laborer. Al ways put him infinitely above loafers and loungers 'about bar rooms and hotels. Thc young ladies in particular could do much good. They should bestow their sweetest smiles upon the hard working, honest man, whatever be his condition. They should shun, with ineffable scorn, every idling tup ster. They should go farther. They should give their. hearts and hands to the poor, honest laborer, in prefer-, ence to the extravagant, penniless ? loafer. Until the laborer receives his just honors and rewards, and the idler his merited derision and scorn, our land will be afflicted with an idle, indolent, and vicious population. The wheels of industry and enter*' prise will be clogged with dead weights. Our country will contiirii? bankrupt, im;;.United, and impov?r- . ished.

The most gifted intellect, the highest accomplishments, the pres tige of family, and the ' all-powerful influence of .wealth, will fail to inspire your countrymen with permanent res pect if you show by a life of indo lence, profligacy and vice, that you have no exalted aims and aspirations. There may be a few young men whose wealth exempts them from the necefsity of labor. " These must now be but few. To such it is not intend ed the severe remarks above should be app'iied fully. But even such should not be idle* or encourage idle ness.

BEeaiiug Away Tour Neighbor's Servan! s. We copy below from the Atlanta Qmstifution, an excellent article on the labor question, giving well con sidered a id valuable advice upon a subject of our duty to our neighbor, which has been for some time very imperfectly understood. Wecom mend the advice to the attention of employers of servants generally. If hey follow it, not only will they im prove their morals but benefit them selves materially, for they may de pend on it that in the employment of negro labor, as in every thing else, honesty is the best policy : " We write a few words' for the housewives. Labor, both for the field and the house, has been, since the war, notoriously unreliable. The employers have much to do with it. The practice of seducing good ser vants away from their employers is ?00 common, and it works perni ciously. A'family gets a good ser vant. Liberal wages are paid, there is mutual satisfaction, and "ill goes well. An envious neighbor, with less tact to manage help, goes to work tc get away the coveted servant. Eve ry secret means is adopted-higher wages offered, the servant's mind poisoned . against the employed by tales of abusive language^ and dissat isfaction planted by instilling wrong" notions ot work. With the credulous, ignorant ser vant, the poison works. A good place is given up for the delush i a bet ter one. The better one proves to I; worse. The servant is permaii^iitly demoralized. And thus it goes. Dis honorable employers and demoralized . labor break down our system of do mestic servitude. Let it stop. There can be no great er crime against society than this wicked s?duction of servants. It is unueighborly in the worst sense of the world. It is a matter of repre hensible interference with other peo ple's affairs. It is a thing of inde fensible deception. ? -1-?-o?> ? ? Farmer's Sociables!

A PLEASANT FERTILIZER FOR GAR DES PL AKTS.-Many persons, par ticularly -ladies, dislike to use the ordinary, fertilizer .from the bam or poultry yard, on flowers . and other house plants. " One who- knows,'' sends the following, which is good not oniy tc-, stimulate house plants, but for out-door plants 'of almost ev ery kind. . ? " Dissolve one-half to three-quarter ounces of sulphate of ammonia .(ob tained cheaply at the drugi;-;'s) in one gallon of water. Apply ii OJ b once a week,- and then only to grow ing plants. It may be used with great benefit on beds of strawberries, on peas, on dwarf pears, grape-vines, dahlias, and for all kinds of pet-plants. This mixture increases the size of the foliage of plants, and gives a dark, shining green color. The flowers also are improved in proportion. And, not least important, this fertilizer will do no harm. One Way of Improving Land. . It perhaps has occurred to but few ! farmers to employ. the roving herds of Summer at manure-making. It may bo done thus : Select a spot adjoining an outside 1 fence, and enclose it well on the three j remaining sides. Haul leaves from i the woods, muck from pond? or i swamps,.or anything that will rot into ^ a good manure in ten or twelve < months, andspread over this lot three < cr ?our inches deep. If thero are i veral trees in this lot, make j shfelt ers for shade by placing poles j .bri:?, putting a floor of rails 1 across thpse.poles, aud coyer thicjriv e w?h pi ne tags".' Enclose >?rge'*pi?ces' ? of ground alum salt in boxesh?ving ? a hole, in their tops large:enoug]> for : c cat tie 'to, get-their tongues in conve- ' niently. Place these boxea ??t??Lj?l hp?u.i'Ocls i^Pi? over the loi: Make a gap in the oaitside;; fence, thai eve rybody's cattle that come alon?.may walk in. As soon as they fina out the salt, this lot will become a grand? congregating place for all the cattle of the vicinity-a perfect camp-: ground of the bovine specie*. They, will make the shelters their resting place, hy day and by riigrtf i&nd wlfl continue to come so long as the sup ply of salt (which must be added oc casionally), ?J?oids out. Of course, they will "drop their manure here ; and by Winter you.;will haye the .sat isfaction of'owning, at least, one lot that has been well manured, at small expense. So long as cattle run at. large, we think it right that somebpdy should ha ve-the. benefit of thelmur mire, if they can get it. >?/?r* in the Man than in th* Land I knowedaman,^MehhGliv6idiU^n??.

A correspondent of the Buhu i jV< u Yorker, furnishes that journal with his and Bis friend's ideas as to the best breeds of Poultry, feeding, clean liness and care of houses. He says : In a recent conversation with a few friends, the " question was asked, " What breed of fowls are now tak ing the preference ?" This broadsid ed question is often asked-broadsid ed, because we may as consistently ask what breed of horses are the best, without specifying whether we v:ant draft horses or old trotters. We, Yankee fashion, undertook to reply to the inquiry by asking. ;>For what particular purpose? For lay ing, sitting, for market, winter lay ers, summer layers, or do you want a fowl possessing all the good qualities, without any bad ones ?" " Yes, all combined," was the re P^' Now no one individual possesses all of the graces. Each one is blessed with more or less, but no one with all of them. Vaiiety characterizes all of God's works,, both animal and vegetable-all of the works of nature and mankind.. When Noah of old eutered^the ark h?;took with him of." everykind" and trna implies a gre?trariety. Then why may we 'not eOucludi that this variety was expressly designed to accommodate the y ario us climates on the face of the earth. That the " kind" intended for- the South will not thrive so well at the North, and vice versa. .- .- r *? ' " E'! expressed .his opinion, based on experience, that, poultry would not thrive if confined in ? limited sp.ic-e with f?i?? access to food. 'This is an e kabUsEed fact! . Thc- greater the range the better. And it is just as impracticable to keej. feed before them as it'is to keep ourselves, our horses, cows.pigs, &o, in .the same way. It-is a golden rule that over feeding is a much more fruitful sourc* of disease and failure in poul try keep ing than all. other causes combined". Over-feeding produces barrenness, stupidity; apoplexy, causeB fowls to eat feathers and eggs, and induces mischief generally, just as an idle, over-fed horse will take to cribbing, and thus injure , himself moro than by over-work.

What might be called a very tal] wedding came off to-day at St George's Church, close to Trafalgai Square. Captain Van Buren Bates, who is said to have served in the Confederate army, and who is eight feet high, and weighs four hundred pounds, and Miss Nora Swan, a Nova Scotian lady, some inches taller than the Captain and about the same weight, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony is thus described by an English witness : The hour fixed for the solemnity was ll A. M. ; and the affair having pot" wind, there was, long before the momentous question was put by the priest, a goodly number of those spectators to whom any. kind of wed ding is always gratifying, and a mon ster wedding a joy forever. At 10'] exactly the bridegroom arrived and walked composedly up to the-al tar. Ile dui not wear the uniform of that corps of Anakim, in which he is un derstood to hold a Car-tain's cominis* .-'ion, but ar. ordinary dress, if ww ex cept au exceedingly blue tie. At 10:60 loud whispers, succeeded by a dead silence, announced the ap proach of the bride, who, pale of ?ace and clad in a few acres of "white samite, mystic, wonderful," and, with her veil thrown back,. moved as'ina j?stically asherpeculiar circumstances or cin,iimterencesi admit of, up the nave, and stood in front of.her afli anced husband, and looked down upon him from her superior eminence with the ghastly smile 'proper to the occasion. She had been preceded by the two-headed nightingale combi nation,"' whose misfortune naturally caused a buzz of comment and much hilarity. The service wa-read amid ai reverential scene of whispering, .giggling and climbing over pews; and when it was over the usual signing uf names appeared to occupy much more than the legitimate time. As the reason could not be the length of thc names, which by no means correspond wi h, that of the owners, one-is driven to the conclusion that children of Anakim, like some other great folks, find writing a laborious and difficult operation. At last, however, the pair ?ot! Titans en?e?ged from: Me? vestry and strode arm in arm, followed by ^be sympathising " combinations'-and . accouroanied by the straiiLS of the, '.

PENN'S DRUG STORE: Special Notices. CONSUMPTION. ITS CURE AND ITS PREVENTIVE. Ey J. H. BOK50K, M. D. Many a human being has passed away for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect Of known and Indisputably proven means pf cure. Those near and dear to family and fri Ads are Bleeping the dreamless slumber Into walch, bsd they calmly adopted I>B, JOSEPH H, SCHEJ CE'S SIMPLE TBEATMEJir, and availed themselves of his wonderfully effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. ScnencK has In his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, (hat vitality, by hil medicines am. Ms directions for their nae, a quickened Into healthful vigor Injhta statement there- tanothlng presumptuous. To tie fal th o rte e Invalid Umade no^representation that ls not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Br. Beben ok's medicines Js as simple as lt ta un fining. Its philosophy requises no argument. It ta soif-aa enring, self-convincing. The Sea-we^d Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel -of tte malady t? assailed. Two-thirds ofthe cases of con sumption originate ia dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. "With this condition the bronchial tubes "sympathise" with the stomach. They re spond to the morbtflc action ofthe liver. Here th en comes the culminating result, and the setting in, with all Ito distressing symptoms of COKSUXFTIOS. The Mandrake Pills are composed of one of Ka? tur e's noblest gifts-the Podophilium Pel tatum. They possess ali the blood-searching, alterative properties of.calomel, but, unlike calomel, they LEAVE NO BTHVO BEHIND." Tho work of core ls now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits In the bowels and tn the ail m en tary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock, ls wound up. It arouses from Its torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and the patient begins to feel that ho ls getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD, Thc Sea-weed Tonic, in conjunction wi th the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. Ghylifl catlon Is now progressing without Its previous tor tures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure la seen to be at hand. There ls no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach. An app?tit ? sets In. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an Indulgent father to suffering man. Bcbenck's Pulmonlc Syrup comes In to parformita functions and to hasten and compl?te the cure. It enters at once upon ita work. Nature can not be cheated. It collects and ripens the Impaired and diseased portions of tho lungs.- In the form of gatherings, lt prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! in a very snort time the malady ls vanquished, the rotten throne that It occupied is renovated ana made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of re gained vigor, steps forth to- enjoy the manhood or womanhood that was ' -i ? . . GIVEN UP AS LOST. The second thing ls, tho patients must stay in'a warm room until they get wen ; lt ls almost Impos sible to prevent taklngcold when the lunga are dis eased, but It must be prevented or a cure can not ba ellected. Fresh air and riding out, especially ta thia section of the country, in the fall and winter sea son, are au wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose their patients, if their lungs are badly diseased; and yet, because they ore in the house they muse not sit down quiet ; they must walk about the room as much and as fast as the strength will behr, to get up a good clrculaUon orbl?od. The Satienta must keep in good spirits-be determined > get well. This nos a great deal to-do with the appetite, and ls the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such evidence of Its pos?, slbllltv in the worst cases, and moral.certainty in aU others, ls sinful. Dr. Schenck's personal state ment to the Faculty of his own cure was In these modest words: " . . Many years ago I was in the last stages of con sumption ; confined to my bed, and at one timo my -ohyslclans thoughttliat Icould not Uveaweek; then, Jke a drowning man catching at straws, I heard or and obtained the preparations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my Whole system. They soon ripened the matter In my lungs,and I would spit up more than a pint of offen sive yellow matter every morning for a long time. "As soon as that tx-gan to subside, my cough, fever, pal ns, andnlght-.sweatsaU began to leave SS and my appetite became so great that lt was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since. 11 was weighed shortly after my recovery," added the Doctor, ,rthen looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds; my present weight is two hundred and twenty-five (225) pounds, and for years I have enjoyed uninterrupted health." Dr. Scbenck has discontinued his professional visits to New York and Boston. He or his son. Dr. J. H. Schcnck, Jr.. s til i continue to seo patients at their Office, Na 15 North Sixth Street, Philadelphia^ every Satnrday from 9 A.?. to 8 P.K. Those who' wish a thorough examination with the Beep tro meter wUl be charged $5. The Bespirometer declares the exact .condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. . The directions fat taking the medicines are adapt ed to the Intelligence even of p chi ld. Follow ttiese directions, and kind ?.atuT M lo the rest, except ing that In somo cases tl M .adrake Pills are to be taken in Increased doses; the three medicines need no other accompaniments than tho ample Instruc tions that accompany them: First create appeUte. Of returning health, hunger ls the most welcome symptom., when lt comes, as lt wiU come, let the' despairing at once be of good cheer. Good blood at onoe fallows, the cough loosens, the night-sweat la abated. In a short time both of tnese morbid symp toms are gone forever. Dr. Schenck's medicines, are constantly kept in .tens of thousands of families. As a laxative or pur gative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard prepara tion ; while the Pulmonlc Syrup, as a cu re of coughs und colds, may be regarded as a prophylaeterlc against consumption In any of Its forms.
