Happy Thoughts.
If Manhood's waves have borne our bark (
Far distant froiKthe shore,
Whose pleasant scenes were dear to us
When life its blossoms bore? 1
Tis sweet, wheniwe come back again, i
To find each spot we knew, ,
Decked in the ^elf-same joyous garb
Our youth around it threw.
I
If time hath laid his hot:d upon 1
The things about our home,
Ando-'sr.ltiem all the mournful shade
Of deep sad change hath come?
Tisiweet to know in our breasts. i
The self-same hearts beat on,
And that while change rules all without,
Within, we're chilled by none.
Yet, sweeter than all this, it is , ,,r
To me?t, when We ate men,
The friend wc parted wiibin youth, '
The selHsame now as then?
-Tofeel that hearings back, through-mists
By time and absence east,
The light of that same kindliness'
\ That warmed the blissful past.
The roses that with gaTish bloom,
In pleasure's garden spring,
? Have, e^ah within- its painted leaves,
Some insect that will sting?
And po 'tis doubly sweet for us,
- ' "And life's heartless joys,
To catch the blush' and fragrance back,
'.:Of flawrra we culKd when bove. ' <
AGRICULTURE.
? . . What
our Soil Needs.
t-JL correspondent of tho Farm, and
"Garden tbus discourses on the intemperate
use of Guano:
Mr. Editor : I feel constrained to
eaution you and your ' readers against
guanoi- Used as the majority of our
farmer^ uso it, it is a humbug?worse
than that, it-is a orying evil. We do J
not fish any -lboger to farm after the <
old system of farming what land we own <
to death, and "tben throwing it aside as
old field, for the purpose of clearing up
' ttt . a '
a new-grouna or moving vvesr. uur
land# are susceptible of high improve- .
merit, and hereafter we must look to
th^seaa' boupdjto last us our lifetime,
and still be fit for our great-grand children
fd cultivate." 1 .
,Now,.^ir, the way our farmers use t
guano is afffer the miserable, old, cxplo- i
ded system of land murder. Put on ,
without any other manure, guano is a <
positive injury to land; and will wear \
it but is one-half the time that no mahuro
at aH' would.- It is a stimulus, (
and nothing more. It adds nothing to ;
|ha permanent ingredients of the ?i il;
it forces the whole strength of the soil 1
into action, which activity will be followed
by years of barrenness. i
The soil certainly needs two things ,i
besides elbow grease?possibly three? .
It needs food and fesf?bossiblv stitiiu- '
Jus. To use a parable: We have hired
a laborer, aDd set him to~ work at }
ctriydbwof Het works till late at night i
without any intermission, without even <
food. The moon conjes^out, and we
say to him, "Work away, my lad; work J
away; the night ,ie beautiful and time
is precious." All _ night he toils on,
with neither sleep ner food, and in the
morning the poor fellow is completely j
broken down. But' we come out after
our own .comfortable rept, and say,
"Here, rfwaHowthis drink of whiskey,
and work on, my boy." .He drinks, and
becomes excited, and works finely till
the influence of the liquor leaves him,
when he finds that he is completely
worn out. So we treat our land. We
give no appropriate food of lime, plaster,
bone, &c. We give no needed
rest, and then, when the strength of
our land is almost gone, wo make it
throw out its little remaining force, un- .
der the stimulating influence of gu- '
ano.
I admit that guano is an excellent
thin? to use when the land is in a very
highly manured condition; but then,
and only then. I have tried guano, and
have made excellent turn outs, but it
leaves tbe-grouud comparatively
exhausted qf Hp humusi It is not, however,
against guano, but against the in
1 v .L-x T i_:?
temperate use 01 11, mat x uumpimu.
Whiskey is not food, neither is guano
manure?there is something else needed
besides the stimulus. Guano may
be used with great profit on rested land
by itself, but nowhere else, unless cornpasted
with manures.
; I give above the result of my expe- ,
neoee. It differs, I know, from the 1
ideas of some of your readers, but I am j
right, *nd I know it."
The Cultivation of Barley.?
A'travelling correspondent of the Greenville
Enterprise speaking of the crops
above and around Newberry, says:
Dr. Moses C. Tapgart, of White Hall, (
is a great advocate for barley culture, j
He says he made lt>0 bushels on three
acres of laud. It is of great value?
cc[iiri to corn, or better to feed stock,
soaked or ground; and thebtrrley in the
winter and early i-pring, growing on rich
land, makes a fine pasture, or maybe
cut and fed green. The barley on well
prepared lands is the mast certain of
all other crops. It is never injured by
cold or wet or dry, m>r by rust oriiijlr: '
dew, like other grain. It- makes itsolf
earlier than any other crop, being the
first to come to the relief of the:farmer
who likes plenty. Everybody ought to cu'tivate
barley in this codntrya's a partol
their erop-;;bnt it;, is no-use-to do so
without euwcbiug the land ^first then it
will suroly pay. Mr. Taggart sells his
this y.car for 83.50 a.busbcl toaa brewer
in Columbia. Tt is to be converted into
lager beef. Dr. Tuggart uses the turning
and subsoil plough freely in the
preparation of his lands for vurioUB crops
especially for wheat .and barley, and of
course manures freely with home made
and also the commercial, and finds it
profitable to do so. IIo is not particular
in ' these respects. -Abbeville has
many of tho samo sort of enlightened
and-progressive planters. ':
