Deep Planting A patron of ours inform-
ed us few weeks since that while taking
his fodder, he discovered great dltier-
,ence iu appearance between two fiecesd
corn, which were planned at The same
time, and in the same kind of soil. Tho
fodder on one piece Of ground with strip
ping it before it was entirely burnt up, TO
use the common pharse. On going 10 the
other piece, he found it green to the ground
and in good plight for stripping. He was
struck with the difference in the TWO lots
of corn; and OH reflection recollecied that
on getting ready to plant bis corn in the
spring. he ran f,rrow with large shovel
or bar-share plough, after which he fol-
lowed with small plough called a bull
tongue, runningit pretty deep in the same
furrow. till he got perhaps half oser the
piece, when he concluded 10 plant the baA
lance in The single forrow. and disconlnu'
ed the use Of the bull tongue. The result
was, that the part planted deep in the
opening made by the small plough. where
The larger one had previously been run,
produced third more fodder, and Of
better quality than that planted in the
shallow mark made by The large plough
alone; besides the great difference there
must be in the weight oflhe corn, the lat.

be remembered by farmers, and the e.

since all seem to think the seasons are be-
coming shorter, and much dryer than for

TnE TEMpEKAScECAUsE.-When con-
te erpaIins the wonderful work upon 'hi.
subject abroad, we may at The same time
express The qualification that every phi
lanllropist must feel al The steady progress
of the cause at home. The following
article, from the Christian Advocate, is
undoubtedly cHHerestng-6rsl from the
facts stated IN The Outset, and spcondariIy.
from tho brief biographical sketch given Of

instrument of the cause in This vicinit,:-

and obtained during the last year, with
bnr few exceptions, all were OIL the total
abstinence principle. The last report
shows, also, very gratifying decrease of
liquor importalions; and that much has
been effected in regard 10 the license law
and milk question.
The semi-annual meeting at Green

Welrch. of Brooklyn, Rev. Mr.. Adams.
Rev. DR.. Dewitt. and The senior editor of
this paper Mr.. Welch we cannor but re-.
gard as memorable instance ofthe Gospel.
Most of his years he has led a sailors life.
distinguished above his fellows in nothing
but his accomplishment. to use his own
words, in the sailors well known vices.
A reckless boy, he sought slcalthiIy berth
in man of war, and, in the course of twen-
ty.6ve years, served the kings of Brrain.--
Atlength, finding himself ashore in Ameri-
ca, he entered The service on bourd u.
States frigate; and while his ship was at
the Brooklyn station. some one who cared
for The souls of seamen found him, and
was the means ofhis conversion. But no
one can, like himself, tell. his story; and.
we were about to say, no one like himself
can plead the cause oflemperance; for, as
he told us, he knows NIL the windings of the
drunkard's path. "He had tried going ON
