"THE LAND WE LOVE,"
BY FATHER RYAN
Biand of the gentle atl'brave!
Our love is wide as the woe,
It leepens beside every grave,
Where the heart of a hero lies low.
Land'of thea-hrightiest of skies!
Our lovoglow. tiho inore'miel thy glootm,
Our hearts, by the saldiest of ties,
Cling closest to thee in thy doom.
Land where the desolate weep !
In a sor'row too deep to censole,
Our tears are but streams, making deep
The ocean of love in our soul.
Land where the victor flag waves
Where only the ldead ire tIe( free,
Bach link ot' the chain that enshives,
Shall bind us the closer to thee.
L-und where I lie sign of Lite gross '
Its shadows of sorrow halh shed,
We measure our love by thy loss;
Thy loss ---by the graves o0'our dead!

The following is from the U. S. Ecion

fair; candid'and truthful that it ought to

reflected upoithAl subjoet of the De.
claration of Independence, and ftually
have come to the sincere conclusion
that universal suffrage'was one of cue'
inalienable rights intended to be om
braced in that instrument by our fatho
ers at the tina of the decltaration -
and that they wei'd prevented from
inserting it in- the Constitution by
slavery alone.
They had no intention to abandon
if ea ouio of the finally enumcratctl'
riih .t, but bimply to postpone it.
The Comminittee on Iteconstruction
have inserted that provision with
great. naanimlity in the bill ad miitting
the State of Alabama into the Jnion.
The have finally resolved that. no
Ste'absall be admittcd ibto the Union

Origin of Terms.
"Vandialis.."-In the hitter part of
the fifth century, Ooneseric, command
ingal forde of Vandals, crossed from
Carthagc t'o floime, and do: troyed that
city, in iere waii'tonness of power. It
was this circumstance which originated
the term of "vandalism," as applied to
everything harsh and cruel.
Political N icknancs- 'IIegenot."
The,term "Ilugenot," applied to a sect
of 1"rench Protestant, is a iekname.
They were forced, from fea-r of the Cath
olics, to hold their meetings at night, in
caves and rocks. and wero on this ac
count ''llugenots," aft r King lingnown'
--the prince of "hehgoblins.'
"Aristocrat."-'I'ho term "Aristocrat "
is a political nickname, also, and is of
l+'reucl origin. Miiring a revodliti tt itt
Prance, the nobility, in (erision, called
the revolntion ists-who were compe:,e
chiefly of the lbvrer orttrs--a ille,
and they inl retaliation called the nobilhty
"Aristocrats.''
''W/i!/''-Thetwo epithbts, "Whig'1
and "'Tory," used in JE:nglan'd, origina
in a similar manner. The Rloyalist par
ty being displeased at something done'
by the Bepiblican patrty. applied the
term c'Wivhig",.o themi--a "cou0 isi ward
meaning a be'drage of sonuir' milk ; whilst
the Iepiblicans called h in 'Tories,'

CXL'lrian OF Oxioxs.--The main
crop, if not already down should be as
souln as possible, and as it. is a crop or
considerable importance, we offer a few
wo: ds of advice. The ground having
been plowed or trenched during the an
umn or winter, is allowed to renimtin'
that state until in a goo condition to
work, when it is levelled down and
marked out into beds three and a half
or fout feet wide, with spaces eighteent
inches wide. Before the seed is sown,
the beds are raised somewhat. above thim
ordinary level by thi& soil from the cigl:.
teen iieh spaces, and when the surface
has .become perfectly dry the seed is
sown and the beds rolled or trodden
down until tiey appea' as hard as a
gravel walk. A thin coating of soil is
then strewn evenly over the whole, ad
the roller passed over the beds. The
beds being narrow, enable tihe operator
to weed, loe and clean wiill facilit v,
without i:nhry to the plants. 'l'he ad
iantages of' the abo'o method of raising
onions are: the plan's have a greate'
depth of soil than usual, they grow wiit
greater sturdiness than those highly ma
nured upon low grounds, while the elc
vattion of the beds enables the sun to
penetratei a considerable depth into tle
earl h, thereby slightly checkin iig a
growth, and of course iindicin' c-irly'
maturity.
