Wearing out Soas.-It is an idea conceived in
profound ignorance, that tho soils Of u country
must necessarily wear out, or become less fertile
by long continued cultivation. With proper care
aud ludiclous culture, the SOIL instead Of wearing
out, must necessarily improve. How s it in Eng
land, IN France in Germany and Italy? A por-
lion OF these countries has been in cultivation Tor
centuries. Instead of becoming less fertile, they
produce more ahundantly than they did an humid
red or u thousand years since. This has been eff
lecied by manures, rotation OF crops, ludicious
culture, and good management. 1t is easier to
manure field than cleur one, and when manfred
will produce more and is easier cultivated. Eve.
ry farmer knows the difference between plough
ing in fresh field with stunps and roots, and
ploughlng one where he encounters none ofthoss
obstacles.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT


Into my heart Il silent look
Flashed from thy careless eyes,
And what before was shadow, took
Tho light of summer skies.
The First-burn Love WINS in that look
The Venus rose from out the deep
Of thoso inspiring eyes.
Fly life, like some lone, solemn spot
A spirit passes o'er,
Grew instinct with II glory not
In earth or heaven before.
Sweet trouble stirred the haunted spot
And shook the leaves of every thought
Thy presence wandered DER
Ny being yearned, and crept to thine,
As il, in times of yoro,
Thy soul had been a part Of mine,
Which claimed it back once more.
Thy very self no longer thine.
But merged in that delicious life,
Which made us one of yoro.
There bloomed beside thee forms as fair,
There murmured tones az sweet,
But round thee breathed th' enchanted air f,
Twas life and death to meet.
And, hencei0rth, thou alone vert fair,
And, though the stars had sung for joy,
Thy whisper only sweet!

MISSISSIPPI LAW. The Gaalin Signal, Of The
10Th, furnishes another of those Characteristic in
stances OF Mississippi law, Tor which The repudia-
ting State has become notorious. Two negroes,
the property of II Mr.. Bennett, were taken from
the premises OF that gentleman, about seven miles
south of Galialin, aud hanged by mob, without
The benefit OF clergy, judge or jury. The neglect
of the civil authorities TO arrest the negroes for
some crime with which they were charged, is al
legged as an excuse for this 90 murder.

Abou Ben Adhem (mny his tribe increaso)
Awoke one night from deep dream Of peace,
And saw within the moonlight In his room
Making II rich and like Il lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold
And TO the presence in the room he said,
UWhat writost thou ~ The vision raised its head,
And with look, made Of all sweet accord,
Answered, " The names OF those who love the Lord
"And is mine one 20 said Ahou. =" NAY, not yor'
Replied the angel Abou spoke low,
But cheorly still, and said | pay thee, then,
Write that loves his fellow men "
The angel wrote and vanished The next night
II again, with great Weakening light,
And show tho whom love Of God had hest,
And 10 Ben Adhem's name led all the rest

Breaking Steer, IF the Trick of Running G,ody.
farmer who had exchanged oxen with another,
found that he had come into possession of pair
OF real cut and run" follows a pair that were
not slow neither, nor very particular as to the
time occasion of showing their speed to their
new proprietor.
Beng in the woods one day, and Just ready TO
hitch n log, they started Tor home, md he after
them in pursuit. The oxen having many feet the
start of him, and more feet apply locomotives,
soon won the race, and wouldn't hcaye 10" ill
the barn-yard brought them up. The owner said
nothing 10 them when he arrived, but supplied
himself with an extra number Of chains, and
drove them quietly down again TO the woods. He
then put all tbs chains he hnd together, put one
end round tree aud backing The oxen up he
hooked them on-and then turned away to other
business. In a few minutes the oxen started l.
gain, and being ealed with their former success,
started with more "sleam" Than at first little
! thinking that they were moored by chain cable
They had made but leap or two, and began al.
most TO shout for victory, when crack o they
came 10 n dead stand, and their necks were almost
broken by the audiences of the check. The far
mer then moved Them to another uee-iastened
one end as before, and coed the slack OF tho
chain at The roots.
AS soon as the pain was little over they thot'
they would try new "gallopade." Hardly had
they got fair start when the chain began 10
straighlen, aud they were brought up again " all
standing" This was too much for even he "pa-
tence OF an OK" aud one OF them roared right
out' with pain and yexaion, and they probably
mentally resolved TO reform their habits, for they
never tried 10 run nway again. Maine Farmer

day afternoon, OF Il most noble aud benevolent
character. A lite girl about seven years of age
was sitting nj Tho corner of Washington and State
streets, upon a small piue box, with basket by
her side, containing some half dozen apples,
which she was patiently waiting TO sell, though
