? ? IT NEVER l'A\y. It never pays to fret and growl When fortune Beems our foe; The better bred will push ahead And strike the braver blow. For luck is work, And thoso who shirk Should not lament their doom ; But yield the play, And clear the way That better men have room. It never pays to. wreck the health In drudging after gain, And ho is sold who thinks that gold Is cheapest bought with pain; An humblo lot, ? A cosy cot, Ha'tfo tempted even kings { For Btation high, That wealth will buy Not oft contentment brings. It never pays! a blunt refrain Well worthy of a song, For ago and youdi must learn this truth, That nothing pays that's wrong. The good and pure Alone are sure To bring prolonged bucccss, While what is right, In Heaven's sight ts always sure to bless. A GRICULTURAL.

Jt@T" In view of the universal opinion that the corn crop of present year will be short, wo suggest that preparations be made to sow a full oat crop this Fall, to make up the deficiency. Wo have received from our cor respondent "Observer," (too lato how ever for the present issue) an article on "The Toad," which wo will publish next week. We think it wilhuear testimony to the good qualities of an almost univer sally despised animal. "Observer," who is a planter of large experience, has well chosen his "Nomine do Plume." Tile Eukal Carolinian.?The July number of this invaluable monthly is on our table. Its contents are varied and of the most interesting character.? Tho agricultural public arc greatly in debted to the publishers for their unceas ing efforts to maintain the present high standard of the Magazine, ranking as it does, first among the Agricultural publi cations on this continent. Wo feel that we cannot too often urge such of our readers as are not already subscribers to the "Rural," to loso no time in sending in their names. The terms of subscription nre $2 per annum, with liberal club rates. Address the publishers, Walker, Evans & Cogs well, Charleston, S. C. com m un icatkd. Mit. Editor :?I sec a fair Enquirer has her curiosity awakened upon tho subject of Agriculture, and Mr. Editor, two papers havo been since issued and her curiosity not gratified. Arc you not awaro wluU a diro calamity has followed ungratificd curiosity in that sex ? Then ?in addition to have to run so after chick ens this hot weather, and she perhaps, alas perhaps, a Hebe in form and condi tion. Fie, Mr. Editor, how is it you havo have so long neglected her. Then there was a storm on Friday evening again, and no doubt the garden paling was blown down, und she all this timo suffering under that greatest of afllictiohs to the female sex, an ungratificd curiosi ty. She seems to think agriculture some thing very nice too. There arc visions of line dinners when at "Farmers Meet ing." They tilled themselves with blackberry jam, Ham and rice, green peas and lamb, Then wonians' rights looms up in her brain, "And what is agriculture?"' she cries again. Of course, my dear, it is womans rights ?both Agriculture and the Agricilltu 9 raiist. Ever sinco the day our gran dum Eve, made Adam eat that apple aud he was turued out to follow agricul ture. But it is a Bpfccial right, and not general. It is a right which only vests in the married women. I will endeavor , to explain it according to Dr. Johnson: Agriculture means "the art of cultiva ting the ground." Agriculture, like the butterfly, has passed through two stages, and is now in its third. First it was fol lowed as a curse. Then it was when our great and talented ancestor was turned out of Eden?without a plough or hoe, or knife, or axe,?in short with only his hands, cold, naked, and hungry ^ to itiak? his bread by the sweat of his brow. Oh! think what a hard time he must have had, whilst woinans rights sat under the shade, pinning fig leaves together. It culminated in tho death ef Abel and the brahdiug of Caiu. Second, it was followed as an art.? Wnen man had learned to mako the plough and other agricultural implements and reduce animals to obedience and Use, thus shifting [the burdens from his own shoulders, agriculture ceased to be fol lowed as a curse, and as a mere means of subsistence, but rose to the [dignity of an art. It was then followed for profit.? We see it in tho exclamation of the rich mau. "Now soul take thino ease; cat, drink, and be merry." Then it was when "Farmers Meetings," were in vogue* And after dinner they sat around, To joke and brag, chew tobacco, and spit upon the ground. , It is now i4 the third, the butterfly state, and is now followed as a science Wo have all tho improvement art can furnish in use, and now have seized science and made it a handmaid. There is much runniug to and fro, and knowl edge is on tho increase. Tho agricultu rist who stays home, will be left entirely behind. If thero is a discovery, he juust bo there seize it. It is moving in the steam car and on tho telegraph. It is in tho town and at tho Fairs. It is abroad over the laud and. tho next telegraph may bring us tho discovery of science putting the chemical ingredients into a bottle, and with a few shakes pouring out milk, or sugar, and roll out a barrel of scientific Hour or potatoes. We go?uto town to learn how to make crops without growing them. Vegetables without palings. Wo are learning how to grow rich in a day, and live without labor. Wo hope to fee at somo Fair or find in some essay the philosophers stone. It is all agriculture. F. communicated. Mit. Editor :?For sorno time past I have been using commercial fertilizers to some extent and have been a pretty close observer of their effects on cotton, tho re sults of these observations leads me to tnko the position that the Atlantic Acid Phosphate or any of the Charleston Phos phates of tho sumo grado by analyses: Say two hundred pounds Acid Phosphate witli fifty pounds of Guanapo Guano, or two hundred pounds Acid Phosphate composted with tcu bushels cotton seed, will produce more cotton per acre, every thing else being equal, than any other commercial fertilizers now in use. That it is tho purest and cheapest manure. I challenge any and cvory ono to prove to the contrary. If I aiu wrong I want to know it, and would thank any ono to put me right. All commercial manures will pay when u.^cd with vegetable matter, such as land rested and broken up early in the Fall and all weeds and grass turn ed under, or rough trash from the horse and cow lots, or from the woods. I do hopo that our farmers will with their present cotton crops take notes of their manuring, working, &c, and report the result of their practical observations through tho columns of the Times, this Fall. At some future time, I may have some thing more to say in referenco to tho Charleston phosphates. Very truly yours, W. F. BARTON. Notice. Contract advertisers may change monthly.
