foot stalks, where even common weeds-
woufd refuse to grow, and xsjhere no
grass would Vegetaie, unless it be the
ever intrusive Quack. VVc once planted
some mi.-erable puny roots of the Pie
Plant in rich deep soil. The conse-
quence was, the next year the size of
the foot stock increased one-half. The
following Autumn before the setting in
of frost, we covered the bed some
three or four inches deep with fresh
horse manure, This kept the.roots in
fine preservation through the winter;
and early in the Spring, when the ground
was faii‘fy.settfed, the manure was mixed
with the earth by a deep and thorough
forking. No wonder that the vigor of
our plants was increased in a wonderful
proportion! As soon as any buds ap-
peared they were taken off——ihe leaves
were cut as often as they became large
enough for use, The next Autumn we
gave the usual protection of iiiniiure, and
the following spring we torlrecl it. in.—
This course we have followed for four
years with soiue plants we took from
neglected grass lands. Now mark the
result: from the iniserabfc, puny leaves
and stalks of the first ye:ir’s growth,
when the stalks were not more than six
inches long and proportiouably slender,
we have how large, broad leaves, and
stalks so strong that all who see them
are enquiring where we got our new
variety of plant, so luxuriant, strong and
beautiful, The answer is coiicfusivc:
cultivation has done it; and the simple
process we have followed, if pursued by
others, \vill, on a small piece of land,
and with very little labor, furnish them
with an abundance of pie material at
the season when, witli iiiniiy,.tfiei'c is
the greatest dearth ill the article. If
gypsum is sown on the young leaves
when the dew is on, it will push their
growth finely by aiding the manure at
the roots in giviiig them nourishiiient.
\Vc have no doubt but this article can
be raised in the way we have adopted,
so as to furnish it to culiivators at the
rate of ciiougfi for a pic for half a penny.

SAVING lVlANURES.——l\f[L‘-1‘ the hay
harvest is over farmers have leisure time
enough to attend to the making of coin-
posts. Stable manure must. not be suf-
fered io lie fongiu heaps without mixing
it with much other inattciz That from
horses in particular will beat to excess
in a few days, provided it lies ligfit and
at fruits the air to the heap.
But even this kind of maiiure will not
heat in case it. is troddeu down to exclude
the air. Let a horse in a stable, twelve
feet: square, stand on his manure and
tread it close and there is no danger of
lieaiiiig. It is on this principle that
when we want to prepare muiinre for the
field early in the Ppring, we overhaul it
often and throw iiup aslightas possible.
This is a good time to gather weeds
and sods and peat mud to increase the
compost heap. All the scrapings should
be gathered, for all will he wanted for
September seeding or for spreading on
grass lands in October.
As to the barnyard that may be plow-
ed before the compost matter is carried
out. But we doubt much of the propri-
ety of the practise of plowing oftenin
the summer in barn yards We only
expose the strong pOl‘[lOl1S.Of the manure
to evaporation. And if the c0\v yard in
the spring was well covered with foam
or other matter, it may lie to September I
to be enriched by what is dropped by the
cattle.
VVe object not-in the use of a plow in
the yard a few days before carting out
to the field, for this makes the labor of
shoveling easier and also serves to mix
up the iiigredicnts. It isa good practise
to cover all the fresh manure by throw-
ing on a little foam each morning.——
Have two or three heaps. of foam in dif-
fcreiit parts of the _vard,and use. a shovel
instead of a plow.-——1llass. Ploug/imrm.

The wild deer on the glassy bed,
Wakes from his dream of‘ breaking davf
Listens and lifts his antlcred licad.
Snuffs the hot blast and bounds away.
Where that destroying angel goes,
Borne on the wings of‘ Autumn’s wind.
He leaves no grass, no prairie rose.
But all is scorched and black behind.
But when spring comes, a flowery belt.
Across the prairie’s bosom thrown.
Shows us that where his foot was felt.
The angel dropped a icweled zone.
But there’s a fire along whose track
Spring never scatters flowers in bloom ;
No Spring e’er follows—all is black
As midnight in a hopeless tomb.
Alike upon the low and high
Falls this strange fire ; it feeds a"d plays
On beauty’s check, in wisdom’s eye,
And melts down manhood in its blaze.
And youth and age—it§ power is such~—
Blossom and fruit alike are burned ;
And every virtue by its touch
Is shrfvelecl, and to ashes turned.
Quench, Holy Father, by thy power,
_By love and law, with spring and well,
With stream and cistern. flood and shower,
In mercy quench this fire of hell.

Deck of the Outward Bound.
How seldom we dream of the mariucr's grave,
Far down by the coral strand ;
How little we think of‘ the wind and the wave,
When all we love are on land !
The hurricane comes and the hurricane goes,
And little heed do we take,
Though the trees may snap as the tempest
blows,
And the walls of our homestead shake,
But the north-east winds tells a difi'crciit talc,
With a voice of a fearful sound,
When a loved one is under a close recf’d sail,
On the deck of an “ outward bound.”
How wistful then we look on the night,
As the t:hreat’ning clouds go by ;
And the winds got up, and the last. taint light
Is dying away in the sky!
How we listen and gaze with a silent lip,
And judge by the bonded free.
How the saiiic wild wind might. loss the ship,
And arouse the mighty sea!
Ah I sadly then do we meet the day,
\V'licii sigiis of stornis are found,
And pray for the loved one far away,
. On-the deck of an “ outward bound."
There is one that. I cherished, whc.-ii linnd in
hand.
We rovcd o'er the lowland li-a ;
And I thought that my love for flint one on the
land,
Was as earnest as: love could be ;
But, now that he hath gone out on the tide,
I find that I worship him l1l0l‘(‘_.
And I think of the \\'llt('1';\‘ deep and Willi‘.
As I l)'.l.."l{ on the flowers on :<hoi'o'~.
I have wateliml the wind. I have watclicd the
stars,
And sfiriiiik from the tempo.-:l. sound ;
For my lieart-st-riiig's :1 re Wi'c-atlicil with the
Fl0l1(l0l' spurs,
That cairry the “ outward bound."
I li-ave slept when the zcphyrs forgot to creep,
And the sky was without. a frown.
But I started soon from that fearful sleep
With I! dream ofa ship going down.
I have sat in the field wlien the corn was in
shock, .
And the reapers hook was bright,
But my fancy conjured the breaker and rock.
In the dead of n. moonlight night,
0, I will never measure affection again,
While treading earth’s flowery mound.
But wait till the loved one is far o’er the main,
On the deck of an “ outward bound.”
Send this to your Lover.
You ask me, love, how many times
I think of you :1 day,
I frankly answer, only once.
And mean just what I say.
You seem perplexed, and somewhat liui-t._
But wait and hear the rl_iyme _;
I’r:i.y, how can one do more than mice.
What one does all the time?

A Hungry Carpet Bu.g.—Tlie Buf-
falo Express refates an ainusiiig incident
which occurred at Erie :1 few dayssince
A gentleman left Cleveland for New
York quite early in the moriiing with-
out his breakfast, and being very finn-
gry upon the arrival of the train at.
Erie, entered the dining room, and pla-
ciiin; his carpet bag upon a chair, sat
down beside it and commenced a valor-
ous attack upon the viands placed before
him. By and by the prodrietoi of the
establishment came around to collect
fares, and upon i‘euchiug our friend, ejac-
ulated “Dollar, sir.” "A dollar!" res-
ponded the e:li.lll),‘ man, "21 dolfarl tho’t
you only charged fifty cents :1 meal for
mic——eh E” “That’s true,” said 1Wecm-
rzess, “but I count your carpet-bag one,
since it occupies -.1 seat.” (The table
was far from being‘ crowded ) Our
friend CXpOS[lllIll18tl, but the landlord in-
sisted, and the dollar was reluciunify
liroiigfii forth. The landlord passed on.
Our friend deliberately arose and open-
iiig; his carpet bag, full in its wide mouth
discoiirscd into it, saying, “Carpet.-ling,
it. seems yo...’i'e an iiiilividual—~:i human
iiidividuzif, siiicc you eaL”~—upou which
he seized evcrytfiiiig caiublc within his

All this pi‘0viii_9,' of no avail, we said we
hnil got a double barrcilcd gun and per-

some morning after a niooivfigfit lll_1{l)f.,
somebody’s cat wou|dn’t come home to
breakfast, or if it did it. would he troub-
led with the dumps. WV: gave fair ll0-
ticc of our gricxraiiccs, and what. we in-
teiuled to do al)0l1l.tllCm.
VVefl, the moon came up on Monday
uiglit, with her great rouiid face, and
went walking up the sky with a quceniy
step, throwing her fight, like a mantle of
brightness, over the whole earth. \Ve
love the calm of :1 moonlight night, in
the still Spring time, and the cuts of our
part of the town love ii. too; for they
come from every quarter——lrnm the
sheds around the National Gardt-n——-from
the kitchens and the stables-creeping
stealthily and softly along the tops of
the fences, and along the sheds and clam-
bering up the boards that lean up against
the out-buildings they sat tf.emsefves
down, more or less of them, in their old
Lrysting pface——righL opposite our win
dow. To all this we had, in the abs-
tract, no objection. If a cat. wishes to
take aqiiiet walk by moonlight——-if he
chooses to go out for his pleasure or his
profit, ii; is no particular business of ours
iid we havn’t a word to say. Cats
ave rights, and we have no disposition
to interfere with them. Bur. they must
keep the peace. They must: get up no
disorderly meetings, no unlawful assem-
blies. If they choose to hold It conven-
tion, they can do it for off of us———but
they must go about it. rleeciitly and in
order. They must talk matters over
calmly; il1e1‘et‘lll1&tl)E no rioting. no
figfiting. They must refrain from the
use of profane language-—tliey rnusn’i;
swear. There's law against all this,
and we warned tlieiii long ago that we
would stand no such nonsense. VVe
said \ve’d let drive among them with a
double barrclled _;uii loaded with powder
and buck shot, and we nieaiit li.. lint
those cats didn't believe a word we
said. 'l‘hey didii’t; believe we find any
powder and shot; they did_u’i. believe
we had any gun, or how to use it if we
bad. And one _!1l'CfllL Maltese (with eyes
like ten plates and a tail like a lfiologiin
:<nii.snge,) grinned and sput.t.ei'cd, and
Spit in derision and defiance at our
threats. “Very well,” said we, “very
well, Mr. Tom Car, very well indeed .'
On your head be it, Mr. Tom Cat. Try
lLOll, Mr. Tfiomus Car, and sec who
will get the worst of it.”

f‘l.'l;Z,t-ES and cart-‘ had cen.<erl in ifieswect-‘
and the scream of’ the ll) o’c.fock train
had died away into silence, with a quiet
coiisciencc, and in the coiifiilcuce that
we would find the repose to which om-
who has wroiiged no man during‘ the
day is justly entitled.
Ir, may have been 11 o’cfock, possibly
iiiidiiigfii, when we were awakeiied from
a pleasant slumber by a babel of uii-
earihfy sounds in the rear of our chain-
her, VVe knew what those souiids
meant-—they had cost us fuel enough to
have lasted us a week. \Ve raised the
xvindow, and there, as of old, rigfit
opposite us on the north end of that
long shed, was an assemblage of all the
cats in our part of the town.
VVe won’t be precise as to numbers,
bntit is our honest belief that there
were less than 300 of them. and if one
among them was silent, we didn’t suc-
ceed in discovering which it was. There
was that some old lV1alieso,wiib his
great saucer eyes and sausage tail, and
over against him sat a monstrous brindle
and off at his right was an old spotted
rauer; and on his left was one, black as
a woff’s month, all but his eyes, which
glared with :1 sulphurous and lurid
brightness; and dotted all around, over
a space of thirty feet square, were doz-
ens more of all sizes and colors—and
such growling. and spitting, and swear-
ing, never before broke, with hideous
discord, the silence of lllltllllfjllt.
VVe loaded our double barrcflcd gun
by candle light, we put. plenty of pow-
der and a handful of shot into each bar
tel. \Ve adjusted the caps carefully,
and stepped out of the window upon the
narrow roof upon which it opens. We
were then just eighty rods from the cat
convention, and we addressed oiirscff it)
the chairmuii, (the old Maltese) in a dis-
iinct and audible voice, and cried ‘Scat.’
l-le didn’t recognize our iigfit to the
floor, but went flgllb on with the lillSl-
nose of the meeting, “Scat!” cried we
again, more emphatically than before,
but were answered by an extra shriek
from the UllB.ll'ifl{lll, and a ficrcer scream
from the whole nsseiiibly. ‘ Scat once,‘
cried we again, as we brought. our giiii
to a present. "Scat twice I” and we

The lack of :-'tirriiig news from "Se-
hnsiopol by the Atlantic was very an-
noyiiig [0 the I/will mmcs ; it is becom-
ing more and more apparent; that the al-
‘ IIPS have hceii egyegiousfy disappointed

believe that if Lnllis Napoleon or .,tho
Iiiisgfi.-fi Govcrnrucnt. had anticipated

tfu.,+ii' troops stiff outside of Sebastopol,
iimy u-‘mild l1.'l\‘t: sanctioned the enter-
prise which St. Arnaud commenced so
imspicioiisly and in such dashing style.
The 1's.-{ii fm-.L is, that the science of en-
giiiceriiig hu:- taken a new start under
the guidance of Todlebeii; and the be.-
.-ieggeil, iiisreud of conienting themselves
as fins hitherto been the custom, with
attempting to repel the besiegers , by
abiding within their fortifications, have
iakeua leaf out of the besiegers’ book
and have bestirred themselves to meet
the field works of the assailants by sim-
ilar field works equally effective for re-
pulse. That it was possible, has been
known, theoretically, for a century past,
[0 military men, but until the siege. of
Sebustopol, it has never been tried.-.—
l
As the lidiiiburgli Review says, ."the
power of a small number of guns in the
field, to destroy a larger number in the
form, is the key to the whole mystery.”
It had come to be a settled point, among
military men, that any place, properly
besieged, must in time fall. But the
great Russian engineer, satisfied,-lilte
our Sam Patch of American notoriety.
that “some things can be done asvvelf
as others,” has knocked all the old plan
into rubbish. So thoroughly had - the
whole system of Fortificaiion been.r_e-
cluced to a science that the British engi-
neers had published in a tabular form,
the "Duration of Resistance possible to
the various forts, built on various sys-
tems_ They said Vauban’s first-system
would stand a siege of nineteen days;
his second and third, 21 siege of twenty-
nine days. Carmontaigne’s forts would
stand thirty days ; Montafemben’s, the
same time; Carnot’s, eighteen days;
the German system, single line, twenty-
four days ; double line, thirty-four days,
and so on. But to quote the Edinburgh
Review again:
“Men learned that the true, secret. of
defence lay in the power of offence ;- -
defensive armor was abandoned, and
the soldier taught; to rely wholly on
the bullet and the bayonet for his means
of safety. Fortification alone still to-

l-‘.»r Luruiiig again to‘Sir John Jones,
we find that in those cases where the
ordnance of the place must be silenced
by direct fire from the besiegers trench-
c.-‘, such fire, to be effectual, ought: to be
at least equal in weight and quantity to
that lt is intended to silence, and further
‘ when ordiiaiice can be procured,double

l‘n‘<‘:LllI'e should be brought into the tren-
cfi-es.’
‘in other words, if the guns of the fort
are pieced so as to meet those of the at.

may are at least equal, and practically
uic superior to those in the field, so that
