WOOD ASHES.

Ashes, whether " live" or leached, consid-
ering the certainty, uniformity and power
with which they act, well as the perma-
meucy of their action upon vegetation, may
well be ranked among the very best manures.
The tact of thissuperiority over other ma
nures is very generally understood: the reason
of this superiority appears quite obvious
,hen we reflect that they are composed en-
trely of organized matter, reduced to the
consolidated form, and when, further, we
learn from chemistry that their chief bulk
consists of the very material which enters
most largely into the finer grains and grasses.
Yet, stIange as it may be, no inconslderable
portion of this priceless article is suffered TO
he lost to all the purposes of cultivation, be-
mg permitted to lie waste about our dwei
lngs, to disappear as useless rubbish To
this remark. however, we find (l,y going to
he sure great way off for it, one very stri-
hing exception. Even leached ashes, trans
ported thither from every State in New Eng
land, and all the way from the Canadas,
are brought up on L. Island at an expense
of from 50 to so cents bushel, and consider
cd profitable investment at that. Gull.

The most profitable use Of this manure,
when applied directly to crops, is probably
on light silicious sOils-ashes being admira-
lily calculated not only TO improve the text
ure of such soils, but to furnish to them Just
mat kind of organic matter in which they
are most liable TO be deficient. They may
he applied however, with certain benefit 10
TO any soil, and that either by spreading them
upon the surface of grass or grain lands, or
lv applying them to the hill or drills in the
ease of hoed crops. The practice of drop
ping a handful in the hill at the time Of plant
ing has been practised by many farmers, and
with excellent result. But perhaps their
highest value will be found in the compost
bed, since being capable of liberating large
amount of nitrogen, they will greatly pro-
mote the process of fermentation. "One
bushel of ashes contains 5 l-2 lbs. of potash,
quantity sufficient to decompose 200 lbs.
Of peat earth."-G. ay's Ell mems, p. 3l9.

ed in the way of experiment, by several of
lur enterprising farmers, and in some instan-
res with signal benefit to the crops TO which

SOUTHERN MICHIGAN.

The valley the St. Joseph river in south
western Michigan and northern Indiana, has
long been famous among travellers and emf
grants for its wonderful fertility in the pro-
duction of wheat. II has been no uncom-
mon thing in the early settlement of that
country to raise three crops of this valuable
grain from one sowing of the seed. This re-
suit was the effect of the little value of the
crop the scarcity of men to harvest it and
the fact that one settler could cultivate five
times as much land as he could gather the
fruits, in the short period in which wheat
can be harvested Under such circumstan
ces the only alternative was for the farmer
to gather what he could, and plough in the
balance for the next years crop.

For the Peoples Press.
VOICES OF DEATH.
Death hath a voice that chills the heart,
And stills the trembling frame,
While faltering groans, and ghastly looks
LIES latest ihroe proclaim
But gentler notes, in kindness breathed,
Forewarn us Of that hour;
And oft the thoughtless, and the gay
Have felt their startling power.
The lifeless form, the solemn knell,
The coffin, and the bier.
The open grave soon to receive
The last Of one most dear
Hush all the thoughts of mirthand joy,
And force the tender sigh,
As DER the spirit steals the voice,
Thou, mortal too must die,'
And when at twilight's quiet hour,
We walk among the dead,
Why are the cares of earth, its joys,
Its hopes, So quickly fedl
The messy sod, the marble stone,
And the oerwaving yew.
Whisper that we must soon lie down,
And bid the world adeu
The wind that signs through leahess trees.
When summer days are past
The cloud that wells the setting sun,
Too beautiful to last
The whitening foxer-the fitting shade
The sweet,y closing song
All tell us Of the dreamy life
We must resign ele long.
Our life is but a &c name to live"-
A dim and ficke, ing light
That burns above the darksome tomb,
Soon quenched in its deep night
Then, mortal, heed Deaths warning voice,
Ere thy short day is fed;
Do quickly what thou hast to do
Prepare to join the dead
