Profi THE EFFECTS OF DWAIXING.. lessor Norton says : "When the drain is made and covered, the water which falls upon .*the> ground does not remain to stagnate, and ^^r^fn?t ruri away^ over the surface, washing-ofT the best of :he soil, but sinks gradually down, ^J^to&ta'tn* roots. of plants any fertUiring matter which it may contain, and often wash* ,ing.out aom&hortM.aatetajces..As it dej ^^ kir tme? warmth follow it.

"7. Much of the ram is evaporated. And lastly, in answer to this objection, ft is of im? portance to state, that in our climate a very. large proportion of the rain that falls does not I sink through the soil, even where there are] drains beneath, but rises again into the air in the form of watery vapor. Experiments in Manchester have shewn thai of 35 inches of ] j&ara which fell there in a year, 24 J evaporated; j while in Yorkshire of 24 inches of rain which fell, only five inches run off through pipes? kid at the depth of 2 feet 9 inches, the rest being evaporated: There is little cause, there-1 'lore,-for the fear expressed by some, that the draining, of the soil will cause the fertility in any perceptible degree to diminish, in conse? quence of the washing of the descending rains. They may, as I'fcavesaid, improve the subsoil by washing hurtful substances out of it; but, in. general,, the soil will have extracted from the:water which filters through it, all the valu? able matter it holds in solution, before- it has reached the depth of a thjeefeet drain.'

Some one asked Mrs. Cady Staaten if she thought that girls possessed the physique ne? cessary for the wear and tear at a college course of study; Her reply is both sensible and sar? castic. "I would like to> see you/.' said Mrs. Stan ton, "take thirteen hundred young men, and lace them up, and hang ten to twenty pound weight of clothes to> their waist, perch them upon three- inch heels, cover their heads with ripples, chignons, rats and nMce, and stick ten thousand hair-pins into their scalps; if they J ean stand all this, they can stand a little Latin and Greek." ? Nbw-a-days it would greatly embarrass most ministers of the gospel to-have their peo? ple rise and propound questions and seek a? ewerso^wt this was the custom in, the early church; and \t served greatly to its edification. Ttifc Wvlving of this custom might sharped some of'the preachers, as well as the people. ' ? -Aflittle girl, after noticing for some time the glittering gold filling in her aont's front teeth, exclaimed, "Aunt Mary, I wish I had coppertoed teeth like yours." ( A House Where Men Nerer Laugh. How do yon think you would like-to live, fearing every moment being blown up; not daring to'speak loud, to. jar' anything, for fear of starting an explosion that would send you in an instant to the other world ? You*don't think it would be very pleasant? Well, it isn't; yet hundreds of men live in just that state, work, receive pay, and live, year af? ter year, in the very sight of death, as it were; all, that the world may have gunpowder. You can easily guess that those men go about very quietly, and never laugh. You^ow that gunpowder is very dangerous in a gun, or near a fire, but perhaps you don't know that it is equally dangerous all through the process of making. 1 ? A powder-mill is a fearful place to visit, and I BtrangerS are very seldom allowed , to go into one. They are built far from any town, in the woods, .and/each ;branch of the work ;is; done in a, separate building. These houses are quite a disl^colrpm each other, so that if .one blows up, ii;won't plow up the rest .Then the lower parts of the buildings are made very etrcr while the roof* are very lightly set on. So tt if It explode*, only the roof will suffer. spite of every care, sometimes a Wheii ._lp?f $e powder, tt?ttTwill W ;ofal ^^?.ina^;^;e^,;T^ge pf.fy work of years wiU be swept away in aiew.wc onds. ,. I But though yon feel like holding your breath to look at it, it is really a very interesting pro* cess to see. It is made, perhaps you know, of charcoal, saltpeter, and brimstone. Each of these articles is prepared in a house by itself; but the house where they are mixed is the first terrible one. In the building is: an immense ; mill-stone, rolling round and round in an. iron bed. In this bed, and nnder the stone, are put the three fearful ingredients of tnhpowdei". 'Thet? they are thoroughly mixed and groun together. ? This is a very dangerous operation, becaus if the stone comes in contact with the iron bed it is very apt to.strike fire, and the merest bus picion of a spark would set off the whole. Th materials are spread three or four inches'tihicl in the bed,; the wheel, which, goes by water 4 power, is started, and every man leaves the, {dace. The door is shut, and the machinery eft to do its terrible work alone. When it. ha' run long enough, .the mill is, stopped, and th men come back. This operation leaves th powder in hard lumps, oc cakes. The next house is where these cakes arc.br' ken up into grains, and of course is quite dangerous as the- last one. But the men can' go away from this, they are obliged to attend to it every moment; and you may be, sure no laugh or joke is ever heard within its walls.?| Every on* who goes in has to take off his boots, and put on rubbers, because one grain of the! powder, crushed by the boot, would explode the whole in an instant I The floor of this house is covered with leath-1 er, and is made perfectly black by the dust of the gunpowder. It contains a set of sieves; each one smaller than the last, through which the powder is sifted. And an immense groanj ing and laboring mill, where it is ground up] while men shovel it in with wooden shovels.?: The .machinery makes a great deal of noise, but the tuen, are silent, as in the other houses. The reckless crashing of the machinery -even seems to.give greater honor, and one is very glad td get out of-that house, ? . '.-p.. I f The glazing-house, comes next. Glazing i; 'donVby'inixing black lead with the powaer, 'tx [give it a black and shining look. The powder is put into barrels, which revolve for several : hours. Thai.polishes the grains by their rub j bmg-together.- Then black lead is pot vrfth them, and they.revolve several hours more. Of course "the1 flust flies from all these operations) and all the workmen, silent like the rest, look [like very [black negroes, working in the black - I "sst of powder; in a rpom whose walls and floors) '.'are blacker than the rest, if penible. It has a I very si ngular look to a stranger, and, added to the horable silence,.makes one feel' that the whole world has gone into mourning. Often; the gunpowder, revolving so rapidly in the bar? rels, gets very hot; so this too is a dangerous operation. The stoving-house is the next on the list, and there the gunpowder is heated in wooden trays. It is very hot, and no workmen stay there.? From there it goes to the packing-house-, and is put up in barrels, kegs, and canisters. Safely through all these houses, it goes at last to the store-house. One feels like drawing a long breath, to see.the fearful stuff safely packed away, out of the hands of men in this .curious house. You've heard of things being dry ass pow? der-house, but you wouldn't think this house dry; It is almost imbedded in water. The, : roof is one big tank, kept full of water. Did you ever hear of a water-roof before ? Instead of steps to go in there are shallow tanks of water, through which every one must walk hoi the door. In none of these powder-houses is any light ever allowed, except sun - light. The wages are good, and the day e work is short, ending al? ways at three or four o'clock. But the men have a serious look, that makes one think ev I ery moment of the danger, and glad to get away. Though cariority may take a man once to I visit a powder mill, he has no desire to go the [second time; and he feels all the rest of his I life, that for once he has been very near death. Take Case of the Land and Practice Economy.?This motto should be written .upon every farmer's door in the State. It is the key? note of success and will insure competency, honor and contentment wherever practiced. It is especially necessary now. Ho who earns one dollar per day and saves fifty cents, is hap Eier and enjoys the blessings of life in a much igher" degree than he who earns fifty dollars per day and spends fifty-one. It is the amount ' saved, not the amount made that gives satisfac? tion and enjoyment. Without a proper attention to the wants of the soil there can be no profit in its cultivation. The soil is like a bank ; if you invest freely in it you may draw freely from it. Like every valuable thing it requires constant effort to pre? serve it It is much less labor to double vour crops by doubling the fertility of your land, than by spreading your labor over do?blc the quantity of land. An acre of rich land is as easily cultivated as an acre of poor land, while the profit Of cultivation increases at a greater ratio than the yield. An acre of land that will produce fifty bushela of corn per acre, or a thousand pounds of col ton, will nay five times as much clear profit as an acre tliat will only produce half as much, for a great portion of the first half is required to pay expenses. It is by far better to own and cultivate ten acres of very fertile land than fifty acres only half so fertile. The cost of labor, team, utensils, fen? cing, etc., is only one fifth as great, while the nett profit on the ten acres is just the same as on the fifty. Poor land not only insures pov: erty, but it perpetuates it. It does more : per? sons Hving on it for generations 'deteriorate physically, mentally ana morally unless there is a counterbalancing stimujaat of manufactu? res. Food, population and health, according to a recent statistician, go together. Abun? dance of food will secure an abuudttneeof pop? ulation. The first doty of a good citizen, then, is to take care of the land?to enrich it?to make food and multiply population. But an abundance of the means of subsis? tence, even, will avail but little, if extrava? gance and a want of economy and systematic and hardy industry prevail "in the State. If artificial wants and the means to keep up de? ceptive appearances have to be provided for; if false notions of decpney or respectability;, or a reaching beyond the limits of income takejios scssron of our population, the result is disas? trous* both to the State and its citizens.?Nash? ville Union and American. ?

The students of Virginia University, during the sessions of 1866-7-8, will, many of them, doubtless remember C. T. Hill, Esq., of Co? lumbus, Miss. Generous even to a fault, affa? ble and courteous, brilliant in the social circle of friends, by whom he was esteemed and ber loved for all the higher and ennobling traits of | character that give grace to manhood and lend a charm of more than transitory interest to life's career, he was indeed a true type of a man. Leaving college well prepared for the more arduous tasks of life, and with the warm wishes of his classmates for success, he settled at his home in Columbus, Miss., and was re? garded as a young man of exemplary habits, and one whose progress was onward and up? ward to all that is bright and successful in the practice of law. In the latter part of last win* ter a gentleman from Mecklenberg county; Virginia, by the name of Harvey Chambers! who was also a student of law at the Universlj ty of Virginia, while Hill was there, and ber tween whom ensued a friendship which, the sequel shows, was more lasting than the pleasj ant days of college life, came out to Missisaipj pi, and ere he had been there long became inj ToWed in a difficulty with two persons by the name of Moore and Gewen at Okalona, Kuowj ing full, well his danger, and that one friend there was who would readily and faithfully render assistance. Chambers immediately sent to Columbus for Hill, who, without waiting fo<| more information as to the nature of the ocj casion demanding his services, afTonce left for Okolona, where he dhad no sooner, arrived al night/and registerefafcihe hotel, than, he was accosted by several persons, amopg Ehem Moon and G&en, who several! times asked ham if he were Mr. Hill, frjim Columbus. -BUl aaswerec in the affirmative, but4he questioning, as to his identity, continued ' several minutes, until he was2&irrounded by the parties, who, now sei cure of,-thejLT victim, extinguished." the lights! and (?tamejiced fijing?flall without, a warning; InnoceaJ and t unsuspecting, in the dark of night, ?t-Slnly by toe:dea&-flash of the de-j mons* jiistolvhe fell; ? weljeriing in his owi life's hjBod.' Friends and others present rush ed to his assistance, but, alas! too late. Th angel of death had .placed its signet on hi brow, aSd ere two.hours had passed,;his soul, brave ~gad generous^ man; had .also' fled ana Eassed ?ivay from-friends and those who knew im bu?to love. Many hearts we re-bowed ic grief, and the whole community, by "whom he was so Highly ancTtr?ly esteemed, were shock? ed and deeply, OI how deeply pained j no words could tell, no pen describe. Columbus was robed in grief, and the citizens, one and all, testified as to his worth, and expressed their loss in his death by draping their homes ana houses in mourning. But there was one, a gentle, loving maiden, with whom he was soon to be married, whose heart was racked with an? guish, that yet weeps for the noble dead, with a grief that is as pure and unfeigned as their love was deep ana lasting. At the time, friends, and those who knew young Hill, vowed ? deathless vengeance on the murderers' heads. The guilty parties were arrested and tried by a jury composed of two white men and the rest negroes. A mis-trial or a conviction and new trial granted, we are not exactly informed which, was the result; suffice to say they were acquitted. Hill was assassinated about the 10th of March, and was tenderly placed under the sod. Flowers were spread above his grave 1 kind hands placed them there, and weeping friends watered them with tears. By some the event was passed away and lost in the back? ground. The trees had budded and bloomed, the grass had grown and withered above thej Srave of the silent, but not unwept and remem-j ered dead. Vengeance?the vengeance of! justice was only sleeping, for on last Thursday! two weeks ago, at or near Okolon a, Gewen him-', self was murdered by an unknown hand. From! an unseen place death's messenger, grim with! horror and terrible with the memory of its deed of sin and guilt, once more winged its stayless flight and rested on the soul of him who was deemed a living shame of criminal degradation.
