ROTATION OF CRoPs. following
principles are laid down by Chaptal for a
rotation of crops
l. All plants cxaust the soil. They are
partly supported by the earth, the juices
from which constitute an important part Of
their norrishtnent
2. All plants do not exhaus. the soil
equally. Air and water help to nourish
them; different kinds of plants require the
same nourishment in different degrees.
3. Plants Of different kinds do NOT ex-
haust the soil in the same manner. Plants
with spindle or tap roots draw nourishment
from layers Of soil in contact with the low
er part ofthe root, while those whose roots
are spread near the surface exhaust only
that part Of the SOIL
4. All plants do rot restore to the soil
either the same quantity orthe same quail
ty of manure. The grains exhaust soil
most, and repair the injury the least
While some leguminous plants restore te
the soil great portion Of the juices they
receive from it.
5. All plants do not foul the soil equally
Plants are said TO foul the soil when the,
promote or premit the growth Of weeds
Plants which have not large leaves fitted t,
cover the ground, foul the SOIL
From the above principles Fhe following
conclusions have been drawn
|. That however well prepared the sol
mayb e, it cannot nourish long succession
OF crops without becoming exhausted.
2. Each harvest impoverishes the soil tc
certain extent, depending upon the de.
gree oil nourlshment which it restores TO the
earth.
). The cultivation OF spindle ortap roots,
ought to succeed that Of running superficial
roots.
a. 1t IS necessary TO avoid returning too
soon to The cultivation of the same, or an
alogous kinds Of vegetable, in the same
SOIL
5. 1t is unwise to allow two kinds of
plants which admit OF the ready growth of
weeds among them, to be raised ia SUCCESS.
sion.
g. Those plants that derive their prin-
ciple support from the soil, should not be
sown excepting when the soil is su hiciently
provided with manure.
7. When the soil exhibits symptoms of
exhaustion from successive harvests, the
cultivation of those plants which restore
most to the soil should be resorted TO-

preston Of friendship. This kiss SO far as
it emanates from sincerity of heart, is COM
mendable ; but where it is only performed
through cold formality, and then, too, at
every meeting of neighborhood friends, is
truly nauseous. So hallowed thing as a
kiss, should not be sacrificed TO the hollow
heartedness Of the world
However, of all others, the ssstolen kiss
is the most estate, and soul stirring. An
amateur should describe it. We can saw
nothing of it except by it effect. To drink
in its rich melody, imagine the pouting OF
those rosy lips-the bewitching black eye,
that half looks anger, half good bumor-a
countenance half chagrined, half pleased,
putting on at the same time deeper and
more lovely hue aud then the object, one
that you had almost dared to love, and you
have it. This kiss is often perpetrated
though mere wantonness, or species Of
fancled CALAMITY, and the donor depends
solely upon the charity of the recipient for
pardon which to the honor Of these spe-
cies, is ever granted, unless it is too often,
and uncoureously performed. The kind
and generous hearted maiden, will not i'm
pose very heavy penance for SO slight a
SIN. We think the poet undoubtedly allu-
dcd to this kiss when he said:-
There's something in kiss,
Though cannot reveal it;
Which never comes amisS--
Not when we steal it.
The virtue Of kiss evidently depends
upon the motive 1t should be guarded
with Vestal care and never sacrlegiously
offered up ON the altar of impuri,y, or pal
sled by the icy touch of blinded formality.
AS custom indicative Of the fervency
of the affections, it should ever be tolera-
ted for whatever tends to keep them alive,
perpetuates some of the noblest characters
tics of the human frame.

WORMS WORMS! WORMS i!

h OF all diseases to which children are exposed,
none are SO fatal to them worms. Unfortunately
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of almost every other com
plant, they often produce alarming effects without
being suspected. Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves but by their irritation aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from one part of the
body to another winding themselves into large balls,
and obstructng the bowels, and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death. The best
remedy ever yet known is
DIR. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,
which is perfectly SAFE and pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t effectually DESTROYS
WORMS; neutralizes acidity or sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts general
and permanent Tonic, and is, therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remittent Feyers In
digestion, &c., and is n certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE.
1t not only destroys Worms, and invigorates the
whole SYSTEM but it dissolves and carries off the SUI
perabundant slime mucous SO prevalent in the
stomach and bowels Of children, more especially OF
those in bad health. This mucous forms The bed or
nest in which worms produce their young; and by
removing tit is impossible for worms to remain in
the body. f#s"
1t is harmless in its effects on the system, and the
health of the patient is always improved by its use
even when no Worms discovered. Numerous
certificates Of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary to
publish yet to give the reader idea of its vermi.
flge powers, he will mention few cases. He gave
it to his little nephew not four years DID, and in
few days he discharged upwards of ninety large
worms. He alsogave it to his daughter, then about
three years old, when it brought away thirty worms
in one night 44
Josiah Thompson, near Salem N j., administered
this Vermfuge TO child between two and three
years old and says that in few days she discharged
one hundred and twenty-seyen large Worms.
MT Joseph A. Lents, of the Penn Township Sa-
mgs institution in this city, gave it to Of his
chdre, and says that after the sixth dose II brought
long. '' 90 ~ nos
:, Mr. ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this
Vermiuge lor DYSPEPSIA, and in the course of
two weeks discharged upwards Of thirty neces Of
TAfE WORM, and was thereby perfectly cured
Another gentleman of this city had it administered
to his little daughter, about three years old when |
she had number of discharges from her bowels
composed entirely of little white thread worms. He
says, they came away from her, not only by hnn
dreds, but may truly say, by thousands separately
and in solid balls as large as hickory nuts, composed
entirely of dead worms.
