Dear Sir,-In compliance with your request,
I suggest few ideas on a subject of no small
importance for success in farming depends
principally on the quantity Of manure that is
made. And in fact, locomotive may well
be propelled without steam as a person have
good success in farming without manure. There
are various ways by which manure may be in
creased. Cellars under barns for the reception
of manure are highly important, as its value is
,npcb inc:,asedl nv being preserved from drench-
rains .ra dr,;,o Winds Also, the quantity
NAV be much increased by hauling m"; - 'o''
or throwing in hay, straw, or some othe, '''a'e'
rials to receiye and suck up the urine, as this is
supposed to be worth nearly rs much as the
droppings. suitable place for cow yard Is
of no small Importance. 1T should be much
following IN the middle the sides SO elevated
as to prevent the water from running in, conse-
quently there viii be but little TO run out, to
wash out the manure. large quantity of ma
nure may be made from such yard, by hauiine
in mud, SOIL or some other material and plough
ing or pitching it over occasionally. But it il
said; we have no meadow from whence to ge
muck there are scrapings in the road to bt
coflec'eu ueEe'ore, we nave nothing to A"A'
compost of. But l would say, if they have
nothing else, take the soil from the field, anc
with little additional manure, the field may b.
restored to its former fertility Another object O
some importance is to have the manure apple
in the best manner. I have until recently bee
of the opinion that it is best to be applied in
green state, and have the fermentation TAX
place in the ground but of late have had
different opinion, although have tried no e'
pertinent that is satisfactory in my own mind
would suggest the idea of Recommending
premium to be offered for tho best experinel
on the application Of manure, that it may
ascertained which is the most profitable to app
manure in a green state, or to make a compost

Shocking Suicide through Gambling IN Paris
We have taken the pains of making the fol-
lowing abridgement of long and interesting
story in the French papers-"A young woman !,

beautiful, and perhaps virtuous as fair, before
she became involved in the temptations OF Paris,

but ever since she had been visitor Off her
luck at cards had been growing worse. She no
longer DOS sessed the too ready means which she
once had of compromising for her losses at play,
rnd she became forced to dispose of all the
moyables which she owned, trinkets, furniture,
and even clothes. At length, every thing was
gone, and few evening ago, she threw her las
stake on the table, and lost it. SIhe game is

HELP ONE ANOTHER.

We have too often noticed propensity among
individuals of a compact 81 flourishing village, TO
make purchases and to trade generally with
strangers, in preference TO fair and mutual
interchange, neighbor with neighbor. This is
an evil, and we can only account for it by sup
posing that the individual who will not encour-
age business in his own village, is possessed OF
envious feelings toward his neighbors, and dis
likes to see them prosper. When such feelings
are cherished between man and man, they soon
render the most fourishng village desolate, and
parayze the efforts of those who sincerely wish
for the prosperity Oft place where they chance
to dwell. Help one another is the motto for
every Country Village, and when the inhabitants
will throw aside all little petty differences,
which always exist in every community, and in
defiance Of personal feeling trade in their own
viliages, and let what little cash they may have
to spare, go to support their own folks, instead
of driving off dozen miles at the expense of II
dollar, 10 save AGENT in trade, that village will

cation Of the great prediction. The Clergyman
alluded TO almost emphatically noticed the pro-
gross Of events, which he considered to be Of a
character that portended the approach OF some
mighty change. Our attention has been called
20 the subject more particularly just now, in
consequence of seeing an able and deeply inter
esting article in late number of the London
Quarterly Review, and another from The pen OF
Major Noah, in the N, Y. Star, upon the same
topic. Thus, the matter is not only agitated in
the pulpit and in religious writings, but also in
religious and even political publications. The
very minds OF men seem to be called towards
the jews their movements--ther conversion, and
the Holy Land The introduction of steam has
done wonders towards opening to that part Of
the world, rapid communication with christian
countries; and affcrding great facilities TO chris
tan travellers. The evident influence ofChristian
powers over the policy OF the Sultan of Turkey,
ana the Pacha OF Egypt also tend to create a
belief that some great political change is about
to affect The East, and Mahomedan countries in
particular; and it will be remembered that Pal
esne has been in the possession of the followers
of Mahomet ever since the last of the Crusades.
The article in the Quarterly is both eioq uent
and argumentative. The writer emphatically
observes that since the battle of the five Kings
against four, recorded IN the 18th chapter of
Genesis, nearly 1000 years before the time of
our Saviour, until the Of Napoleon, 1900
years after it, this narrow but wonderful region
has never ceased 10 be the stage of remarkable
events. He also observes that very recent
English traveller has encountered many Jews on
the road to Jerusalem, who invariably replied to
his inquiries, that they were going thither 10 die
in the land ofther fathers.' The belief that the
ultimate gathering together of tho nations upon
that cherished spot, is very general among the
Jews of every section of the world. Though
they have seen the temple twice, and the city
six times destroyed, their confidence is not abaed
nor their faith gone. For 1900 years, their belief
has sustained them, without King, a prophet
or priest, through insult, poverty, torture and
death. And now, sn the 10Th century, in the
midst of the march of int llect, and what is far
better, in the greater diffusion OF the written
word OF God, both among Jews and Christians,
we hear from all an harmonious assent TO The
prayer that concludes every Hebrew festival
The year that approaches-Oh! bring us to
Jevusaem
