ing his ox.carl from the fields, loaded with pO'a-
toes and apples, with grapes and pums, wllhnpts
and berries, and stuck with boughs of hemlock
and swee, brinr, with ferns and pond-es which
the chlldred have gathered, But lei US not quar-

too quaint and elegant. What them 1t ia long
since we have had us good lyrisr; i, will be long
before we have his superior. 'Godiva' is noble
poem that will tell the legend Of thousand years,
The poem Of all the poetry Of the present age, for
which we predict the longest term, is 'Aboun ben
Adhem' Of Leigh Hunt. Fortune will still have
her part in every victory, and 1t is strange that
one Of the rest poems should be written by man
who has hardly written any Other. And 'Gldya'
is parable which belongs to the same gospel
'Lockscy Hall aud THE Two Voices are medi-
talivc poems, which were slowly written 10 be
slowly read. ''rhc Talking Oak though little
hurt by lis wit and ingenuity, is beautiful, and The
most poetic Of the volume. Ulysses belongs 10
high class Of poetry, destined to be the highest,
and to be more cultivated in The next generation.
| 'Unone' was a sketch Of the same kind. One Of
the best specimens we have Of the class Is Words

can possess equals the total merit Of having select
such subject in such spirit.

ASHES UPON SOIL.

The manner in which ashes act on soils is de-
pending in great measure on their condition,
whether they have been lea ched or not. Ashes
act on soils chemically and mechanically. The
potash contained goes to form sca,es; hence the
great effect of ashes on grass ands siicates being
essential 10 the grass They act chemically, too
in nculraIzing acids existing in the soil and pro-
ducing bad growth of weeds or plants not desired
Their mechanical effects arc found in their rem
derns them more suitable for crops, The chemi-
cal effects Of leached ashes are less than those Of
uncacled, while from the additional lime they
contain, their mechanical effects are greater So
far as regards the phOsphntcs which exist in ashes,
and which act so important a part in their action
on sois there is little difference between the leach
ed and the uneachcd.
As TO the soils on which ashes arc tho most val
liable, experience and observation show that ashes
are most clicacous on soils that are naturally dry,
or have been made so by draining. On wet soils
leached ashes produce little or no effect, but we
have found the best results on moist meadow land
Nv SoNV3 uHIciCHcu uSlleS over lne surface III tilt
rate Of twenty or thirty bushels per acre. 1t had
the effect of partially destroying the MOSES and
coarse grass which occupy such lands to the ex.
clusion of good grass and i, gave very heavy
crop for Two or three years after its application
Old pastures on light land are materially ben
Gifted by leached ashes, their effect being on such
soils hut little inferior TO gypsum, though large
quantity must be applied. Some ten years since
we applied heavy dressing of lcached ashes Il
about an acre of land in tho center of u field, and
the beneficial effects the last season, was clear
dlscernlble In the roa crop grown on this field -
This was not light land, but wet. 1t has beer
twice well mlnured in this interval, yet the ashes
land appeared to maintain its supremacy, feelin;
the manure as much as thai, to which no ashes ha {
been given. The cllac, Of ashes arc unquealion-
bly, most valuable, and should always be made
available where ashes can he had. Too many
farmers are in the habit Of selling them from their
farms miserable policy, as no such manure SHOULD
be allowed to leave the farm. Ashes are exceed
ingy useful in making compost from swamp muck
or other vegetable matter, where an alkai is nee
essary to promote decomp osiou.-.Aibany Gull
