Very lew limestones or .halks consist entirely of lime and carbonic acid. The statutory marbles, or certain of the rhomboidal spars, are almost the only pure species; and the different properties of limestones, both as manures and cements, depend uj>on the nature of the ingredients mixed with the limestone; for the true calcareous elements, the carbonate of lime, is uniformly the same in natare, in properties, and effects, and consists of one proportion of carbonic acid, 41.4, and one lime, 55. When a limestone does not copiously effervesces in acids, and is sufficiently hard to scratch glass, it contains silicious, [sandy,] and probably aluminous, [clayey,] earths. When it is deep brown or red, or strongly coloured of any of the shades of brown or yellow, it contains oxide of iron. When it is not sufficiently bard to scratch glass, but effervescesces slowly, and makes the acid in which it effervesces milky, it contains magnesia. And when it is black, and emits a fcetid smell if rubbed, it contains coaly or bituminous matter. Before any opinion can be formed of the manner in which the different ingredients in limestone modify their properties, it will be necessary to consider the operation of pure lime as a manure. QuickTime in its pure state, which in powder or dissolved in water, is injurious to plants. In several instances grass has been killed by watering it with lime-water. But lime, in its state of combination with carbonic acid, is a useful ingredient in soils. Calcareous earth is found in the ashes of the greater number of plants : and exposed to the air, lime cannot long continue caustiG, for the reasons that were just now assigned, but soon becomes united to carbonic acid. When newly burnt lime is exposed to air, it soon falls into powder; in this case it is called slaked lime; and the same effect is immediately produced by throwing water upon it, when it heats violently, and the water disappears. Slaked lime is merely a combination of lime, with about one-third its weight of water; i. e. fifty-five parts of lime absorb seventeen parts water, and is called by chemists hydrate of lime ; and when hydrate of lime becomes carbonate of lime by long exposure to air, the water is expelled, and the carbonic acid gas takes its place. When lime, whether freshly burnt or slaked, is mixed with any moist, fibrous, vegetable, matter, and they form a kind of compost together, of which a part is usually soluble in water. Bv this sort of operation, lime renders matter which was before comparatively inert, nutritive; and as charcoai and oxygen abound in all vegetable mat. ters, it becomes at the same time converted into carbouate of lime, Mild lime, powdered limc-stone, marls or chalks, have no action of this kind upon vegetable matter; they prevent the too rapid decomposition oi substiuice already X IIC uuiun Hl^ u livill mv. 41V>1-AV>I> tor, and part of the system of British Husbandry; extracted from that Journal.?Sou,T ern Agriculturalist. OF THE DIFFERENT SPECIES OF MINERAL MANURES. Alkaline Earths, or Alkalis and their Combinations which are found unmixed with the remains of any organized beings, are the only substances which can with propriety be called fossil manures. The only alkaline earths which have hitherto been .applied in this way, are lime and magnesia; though po-assa and soda, the two fixed alkalis, are both used to a limited extent in certain of their chimerical compounds. The most common form in ichich lime it found on the surface of the earth, is in a state of combination with carbonic acid or fixed air. If a piece of limestone or chalk be thrown into a fluid acid, there will bean effervescence. This is owing to the es/.nrKnnic r?r?irl <roc_ The lime Ul UU l/VIKV UV1U * ,.w ... becomes dissolved in the liquor. When limestone is strongly heated, the carbonic acid gas is exj>el.ed, and then nothing remains but the pure alkaline earth ; in this case there is a loss of earth ; and if the fire has been very high, it approaches to onehalf the weight of the stone; but in com. mon cases, limestones, if well dried before burning, do not lose much more than 33 or 40 per cent, or from seven to eight parts out of twenty. When burnt lime is exposed to the atmosphere, in a certain time it becomes mild, and is the same substance as that precipitated from lime water; it is combined with carbonic acid gas. Quick-lime, when first made, is caustic and burning to the tongue, renders vegetable blues, green, and is soluble, [*". e. dissolves,] in water; but when combined with carbonic acid, it loses all these Dronerties, its solubility, and its taste; it re dissolved, but they have no tendency I form soluble matters. It is obvious lrot these circumstances, that the operatioas ( quick-lime, and marl, or chalk, depen upon principles altogether different. Quicli lime in being applied to land, tends t bring any hard vegetable matter that it cot; tains into a state of more rapid decomposi tiori and solution, so as to render it a proj er food for plants. Chalk, and marl, ?i carbonate of lime, will only improve th texture of the soil or its relation to absorj: tion; it acts merely as one of its earth ingredients. Chalk has been recomrnende as a substance calculated to correct tli sourness of land. It would surely hav been a wise practice to have previously as certained the certainty of this existence c acid, and to have determined its nature, ii order that it might be effectually removed The fact really is, that no soil was ever ye found to contain any notable quantity o uncombincd acid. The acetic and car bonic acids are the only two that are likeh j to be generated by any spontaneous decern position of animal or vegetable bodies, an< ; neither of those have any fixity when ex I posed to the air. Chaik having no powe of acting on animal or vegetable substance can be no otherwise serviceable to land thai as it alters its texture. Quick-lime, whet it becomes mild, operates in the same manne as chaik, but in the act of becoming mild it prepares soluble out of unsoluble matter Bouillon La Grange says, that galctine ox ygenized becomes insoluble, and vegetable extract becomes so from the same cause now lime has the property of attracting oxy j gen, and, consequently, of restoring th< property of solubility to those substance, which have been deprived of it, from acorn i bination of oxygen. Hence, the use of linn I 011 peat lauds, and on all soils containing ai i excess of vegetable insoluble matter.?Gris j enthicaitc. Effects of lime on wheat crops.?Whet ! lime is employed upon the land when j there is present any quantity of anima | matter, it occasions the evolution of ; 1 quantity of ammonia, which may, perhap j be imbibed by the leaves of plants, and af I terwards undergo some change so as ti | form gluten. It is upon this circumstance that the operation of lime in the prepara | tion for wheat crops depends ; and its efii j racy in fertilizing peat, and in bringing : into a state of cultivation all soils abound Jinginhard roots, or dry fibres, or iner i vegetable matter. General principles for applying lime.? | The solution of the question whether quick j lime ought to be applied to a soil, depend upon the quantity of inert vegetable inatie | that it contains. The solution of theques , tion, whether marl, mild lime, or powderei i limestone ought to be applied, depend upon the quuutity of calcarious matter al ready in the soil. All soils are improvei j by mild lime, and ultimately by quick-lime I which do not effervesce with acids, an J sands more than clays. When a soil, defj j cient in calcareous matter, contains mor soluble vegetable manure, the applicatio ! of quick-lime should always be avoided, a | it either tends to decompose the solubl I matters by uniting to their carbon and oxy gen so as to become mild lime, or it com j bines with the soluble matters, and form compounds having less attraction for watc J than the pure vegetable substance. Tli I case is the same with respect to most ani ! mal manures, but the operation of the lim ; is different in different cases; and depend j upon the nature of the animal mattei j Lime formsa kind of insoluble soap wit -!1_- ... ?

It combines likewise wii the animal acids, and probably assists thci decomposition by abstracting carbonac( ous matter from them combined with 0x3 gen ; and consequently must render ther 1 less nutritive, it tends to diminish, lik< wise, the nutritive powers of albumen fror the same causes ; and always destroys, J a certain extent, the efficacy of anim; manure, either by combining with certai of their elements, or by giving to them ne< arrangements. Lime should never be a[ plied with animal manures, unless they ar too rich, or for the purpose of proven tin noxious effluvia. It is injurious when mi? j ed with any common dung, and tends t render the attractive matter insoluble. Ac j cording to Chaptal, lime forms insolub! ; composts, with almost all animal or vegeU ! hie substances that are soft, and thus de? 1 troys their fermentative properties. Sue : comnounds. however, exi>osed to the coi j tinued action of the air, alters in course < I time, tho lime becomes carbonate, the an ' mal or vegetable matter decompose, by d( : grces, and furnish new products as veget; j blc nourishment. In this view, lime pn j sents two great advantages for the nutr ' tion of plants; the first, that of disposing < certain insoluble bodies to form solubl compounds, the second, that of prolongin the action and nutritive qualities of sul I stances, beyond the term which they wou retain them if they were not made to ent< j into combination with lime. Thus the ni tritive qualities of blood, as it exists in tl compound of lime and blood, known as st gar bakers' scum, is moderated, prolongei and given out by degrees: blood alone aj plied directly to the roots of plants w destroy them, with few or no exceptions. Lime promotes fermentation.?In thos cases in which fermentation is useful I produce nutriment from vegetable substai ces, lime is always efficacious.

O ' From the Mother's Magazine, i- PARENTAL AUTHORITY A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. ir In the last number of the Magazine, une der the title "Ministerial Authority a linndred Years Ago," an incident was related, v taken from the manuscript of an aged clerd gyman of Connecticut, recently deceased, e going to show the superiority of ministerial e influence at that day, to what it is at the i. present time. From the same manuscript, if it is proposed, at this time, to extract, with ii some abridgement, an incident in the life of . the clergyman himself, illustrative of the t views of ilparcnlal authority" prevalent to ,f some extent, and perhaps generally, in the . same state, not far from a hundred years f ago. The father of the above clergyman himj selfalso belonged to the sacred profession. . He was a divine of great eminence in his r day?one whose opinions were formed only s after much research and deliberation, but, i when once settled, were not readily relin1 quished. r The son, at the time my story begins, I, was a member of college, and with him, in . in the same institution, was a younger broth. cr. At that day, it was customary for the 2 young people for fifteen or twenty miles ; around Hartford, the then capital of the . state, to celebrate the general election with a 2 variety of amusements. In some places, a s play was acted which was concluded by a . ball. In this manner the election had frequcntly, in consecutive years, been celebrai ted in the town of , the residence of . the above clergyman, in conformity to tnis usage, on the occurrence of the election in i the year , it was proposed bv a num. g her of scholars in college, who had been fit,1 ted by the clergyman, to learn a tragedy, i and to act it in the above town, at which s it was expected that the young people of the place would be present, and would unite, 5 as was customary, in the ball. According, t, ly, a tragedy was selected; the parts were . assigned ; and a correspondence held with . several young men,residents in the place, as t to to the necessary arrangements. Among those to whom parts were ast sighed, were the two sons of the clergyman ?-? ?v? rwl r ! -%r\ r\r%r% iirrnnno r\f tliD mruuuy IMIULU. wu uiu wvuiivuw vi mv vacation, which commenced a week or more previous to the day assigned for the "capis tal acting," the several scholars assembled, r agreeably to previous concert, in the above town. A room was engaged; the scenery :j provided; the rehearsals made, and the coms pany invited. [. On the morning of the appointed day, the j eldest of the above sons informed his father , of the proposed amusement, and, rather as j a matter of form than otherwise, asked peru mission to attend, and act the part assigned e him. (1 Judge his surprise, when the father pcs remptorilv refused his permission, and di.. rected him to inform his younger brother ? O that neither should bear any part in the thek atrical transactions of the evening. This s was a severe and unexpected prohibition to r the brothers, who repaired to their father, c and expressed their grief and disappointj. menf. To their inquiry, whether he had e not known about their plans and arranges menst, he replied :? UI have not been ignorant of your plans, h nor am I now acting without reason ; but upon the authority which God has given me as a parent, I forbid your taking part in the j, tragedy. For the present, I have no expla[r nations to make, and, without explanation, it is your duty to obey. You may attend up% on the other amusements of the evening." 11 Although thus peremptorily forbidden, the j. brothers were reluctant to relinquish their n object, and now repaired to their mother, to / o whom they made known their disappointil mcnt, and dwelt upon the mortification which n they must experience, concluding with a iv request that she would intercede with their >. father. Like a tender mother, shesympac thized with them in their disappointment, but g expressed her surprise that, having received i. so direct and explicit a refusal from their o father, they should solicit her interference. > This she would deem highly improper, as It* their father had a right to direct, and doubtu less had his reasons, and it was their duty s. to obey. h Not satisfied, however, they again sought )- the presence of their lather, and requested, at least, his reasons for his strange prohibii tion. He replied, "that the subject was no >. lnnorr>r nnon for discussion?it was seitled : v"?~? ~| t -- ^ , i- that lie was acting from the convictions ol > duty; but as to reasons, for the present he i- should assign none. He wished them to }f yield obedience, as dutiful sons, to the comic mands of a father." n In the evening, the company assembled at the appointed place, and the brothers were there. When the tragedy was about -r to open, the actors were informed bv tlic J* brothers of the prohibition of their father, ,c and their consequent determination to abide by his decision. The general disappointment was great, as may be conceived, and ellorts were now made to induce tite young men to change their determination, and perform their parts- General secrecy was ;e solemnly promised, if they would consent, lo The temptation was powerful, and, under i- the influence of flattery on the one hand, le and ridicule on the other, the younger hrothth er at length yielded ; but no considerations id suggested, for a moment prevailed with the s- elder brother. Come what might, he said, ic lie would not disobey his father. The conlt sequence was, the tragedy was not pera funned. i- Several years passed by ; the eldest son sf was settled in the ministry, and a sren1! fam ily clustered around him, at the time of which I am writing. The father made the family of his son a visit. One morning, . while there, the eldest child was required by < her lather to do something, with which she ; refused to comply. The father attempted, j by reasoning and expostulation, to induce : her to do it, but in vain. During the dis- t cipliuary process, the grandfather sat calm f and thoughtful, watching the result. The ( child, at length, having complied, was dis- i missed, and left the room. I The grandfather, upon this, addressed the I son : "My son," said he, t4vou manage your r children differently from what I did you. { Do you recollect my peremptory prohibition < of your acting tiie tragedy, several years < ago V* s "I do, sir," replied the son ; "and it has a ever been mntter of surprise, not that you c should have been so decided, but that you < should have declined giving mc your reasons t especially as I was at an age to have un- i derstood, ana pernaps iiavo appreciated them." "You speak wisely, my son," said the father; "perluips you would have appreciated my reasons?perhaps not. Bat I will now do what I have long intended to doexplain to you my reasons for the course I took ; and from these you may gather my views on the subject of parental government, with which, if what I have just noticed in your treatment of your child be an expression of your views, mine are certainly not a little at variance. "It had for several years hern the practice of the students, you recollect, to get up a tragedy in . The effect of this up on our young people1 was decidedly had. 1 | \ felt the importance of putting a stop to the { practice. How to accomplish my object, i [ was at a loss, f well knew that it were far t better not to make the attempt, than to make \ it and fail. At length, when I found that you and your brother were to take parts, my plan was soon formed. From my knowledge ofyour character as a professor of religion, I concluded that you would not act your part, without first obtaining my permission. 1 early determined, although well acquaintainted with your plans, not to interfere until it was too late for any others to learn the parts which had been assigned you and your brother. As it happened, you delayed requesting my permission until the . .i...." j.. , was as I could have wished." > It is quite probable that, to some of the readers of the Magazine, the course pursued f by this father may appear stern and soi vere. That it was diilercnt from the tame and indecisive discipline of modern times, is conceded ; but was it unkind !?was it unscriptural ? As a father, no man, the writer has reason to believe, was ever more respected by sons. Those sons, now no more, were distinguished in church and state. They were men of integrity, firm in principle, and looked up to in the times in which they lived. The course of the father, when compared with that of many a parent of the present day, was severe; and even the mother would be censured by the sickly and indulgent sympathy of many a mother in the land. Hut again we ask, was the course pursued either weak or unkind ? Did not the result show a deep acquaintance with human nature, and a Christian firmness and sacrifice of parental feeling, which rebuke modern indecision and childish sensibility ! Hut to the manuscript again. Having thus developed the reasons of his conduct in the particular case alluded to, the father, in substance, continued :? i ?*It is a principle of great importance in j . parental government, that die pnrm* should morning ui ine uuy un which ine uujjl'uv { was to be acted. This was precisely as I 2 wished. When you made application, I i was prepared to lorbid you, and yet, my t son. it was one of the most painful acts of 1 my life. Nothing but a strong conviction ] of duty, a sincere desire to prevent a practice 1 fraught with evil to the young people of my charge, could have enabled me to accom- 1 plish my purpose. You expressed your 1 surprise then, and now, that I did not in- 1 form you of the reasons by which I was in- 1 fluenced. Had I done this, you now per- ; ceive, it would have defeated my object. I so well understood human nature, as to be : aware that, if it were known that my object 1 was to break up the practice, there would i have been revolt and reaction. You might not have appreciated my motives, for your feelings were ardently enlisted; or, could vou have felt the force of this, others proba- , blv would not; and I should have failed in _ " i* l: ...1 u 1 j nCCOinpilSIJiug tin uujt;i;i n I1ICII 1 utrc-irjfu highly important, and the failure would have been followed bv a loss of inllucncc, wliich , 7 it was important to my useful fulness to retain. My success was complete ; from that day, no tragedy lias ever been acted in the town of . Several who were concerned in the transactions of that evening has since requested an explanation of my conduct, and I have the pleasure to know they are now entirely satisfied. 4,I had forscen that an effort would he made to induce you and your brother still to act your parts. I had engaged a person in whom I could confide, to apprize mo, should such an effort be made. This he did. You may judge my anxiety lest the temptation should prove too great for you ; , yet I had a strong confidence that you would resist it. Your triumph was a noble one. and I even felt proud that I had such a son. I ; well knew, whatever your companions might say under the smart of disappointment, that they would honor you in their hearts. Several of them have since conversed with me i upon the subject, and you have not lost your reward. Had you yielded to their solicitations, it was my determination to have appeared in the midst of you, and to have withdrawn you and your brother. This painful course I was spared, and the result sometimes, at least, setttle questions upon his sole authority, without attempting to rea- J son with the child. You have just tried the 1 effect of reasoning with your little daughter, the and you have obviously failed. Instead of ant gaining, you have lost ground. As a pa- will rent, your influence is less with that child ers. :hnn it was half an hour since. I have known Popi similar instances. The policy I think inju- be Jicious; the object aimed at is defeated; the rood of the child is jeopardized, if not lost. Parents should act, in all cases, with reason; >ut they are not bound to disclose those If, easons. This is a principle of the Divine 93(>,< government. The Christian is bound to >bey God, upon his simple command, wheth:r he understands the reason of the requisition or not; so the child sl^mld bow to the nithority of the parent, though he may not :omprehend the propriety or justice of the ^ :ommand. This is right. God has confided sunt his authority to parents. It is their duty Aust lot to abuse if; they may not act arbitrarily ^und ?not 'provoke their children to wrath,'? >ut exercise judgment, having regard to the &ovc >est good of the child.
