God speed the keel of the trusty ship
That bears ye from our shore.
There is little chance that ye'll ever glance
On our chalky sea-beach more.
You are right to seek a far-off earth,—
You arc right to boldly strive
Where Labour does not pine in dearth,
And the-honest poor may thrive.
God speed ye all ! ye hopeful band,
O'er your boundless path of blue ;
But you'll never forget your own old land,
Though wealth may gladden the new.

You'll often think of the blackthorn leaves,
And the dog-rose peeping through ;
And you'll never forget the harvest sheaves,
Though the wheat was not for you.
You'll often think of the busy ploughs,
And the merry-beating flail ;
You'll sometimes dream of the dappled cow
And the chink of the milking-pail.
God speed ye all ! ye hopeful band,
With hearts still high and true;
But you'll never forget your own old land,
Though wealth may gladden the new.

And perchance you'll sigh, with drooping eye,

God speed ye all ! ye hopeful band,
With hearts still high and true ;
But you'll never forget your own old land,
Though wealth may gladden the new.

Conrocation : a Sermon. Birkenhead : Cross

A Sermon preached by the Rev. R. P. Blakeney,
LL.D., in Christ Church, Claughton, Birkenhead,
on the 19th of Sept., on the subject of Convocation.
The text is taken from St. Matthew, xviii. 17.,
and, in addition to the Sermon itself, which enters
at considerable length into the question of General
Councils and Convocation, there is a profusion of
notes in which various authorities are referred to,
and the subject is also introduced with an energetic
preface.

The Farmer's Magazine. London: Rogerson and Co

The current number of this well-known magazine
contains the concluding chapters " On the Science
of Manuring," by T. Rowlandson, C.E., F.G.S.
The remarks relating to the probability of obtaining
a cheaper substitute for guano will be read with
great interest. We quote the following :

" Reviewing the whole question, it therefore appears
that in our present state of knowledge no other chance
exists of obtaining a rival to guano than the establishment
of some such a manufactory as that indicated in a former
part of this paper : one in which all the resources of
science shall be brought to bear so as to economise and
utilise products often now wasted, and, in some instances,
the driving off which is a source of expense, adapting
these and other waste materials and products of inferior
value to the purposes of husbandry. Great as the im-
provements have been in manufacturing chemistry during
the last century, it ought not to be forgotten that the
temptation to the exercise of ingenuity arose mainly from
the circumstance that objects of large and growing con-
sumption, and at continuously enhanced prices, owing to
such increased use, attained not only high prices, but
were gradually advancing. In the case of manures, how-
ever, we have two articles required of an expensive cha-
racter—ammonia and potash—which relatively, as com-
pared with the power of consumption in the form of
manures, are only of very limited production ; whilst, on
the other hand, the demand for them for manures at a
low price would be to practical purposes unlimited. It is
on account of these reasons that the composition of a
good and cheap manure is surrounded with so many diffi-
culties—not insurmountable certainly, but to overcome
which requires a somewhat rare combination of practically'
scientific, manufacturing, and commercial knowledge on
the part of the superintendent on whom the management
of such an establishment may be entrusted."
