the pent-up atmosphere of a crowded city. To
such we would say, shake olfthe delusion! The
gided drapery of fashion, the pride and pomp Of
goated wealth may, for moment, dazzle the
eye, but when we look around us for the COM
fort and quetude of our own peaceful cottage,
we will soon perceive that these trappngs cannot
give ease to an aching breast, or slumber to a
troubled conscience. We love the countryside
green, open country-and would rather go forth
to the field, with spade in hand and earn that
we eat' than chew the food of idleness" or
bask in the smiles of fashion. Our theatre is
there-our dome is the heavens-our curtain
the dark blue sky-the sweet scented honey
sucke and the green grass are the carpet on
which VIC tread-roses are strewed before US
the tinkling bell awakes us, and the rising sun
points to our work. action, that great propeIl-
er Of the human heart, nerves us for our labors
and as the scene is disclosed, our senses are
saluted with sweeter songs and views, than were
ever witnessed by the votaries of jewelled halls
with their most enrapturing songs. Who would
not live in such a country!-V Valley Farmer.

The Bright Side Of Humanity.

There are good men everywhere. There are
men who are good for goodness sake. In OBJ
security, in retirement, beneath the shadow ten
thousand dwellings, scarcely known to the world
and never asked to be known, there are good
men, IN adversty in poverty, and temptations,
amid all the severity of earthly trials there are
good men whose lives shed brightness upon the
dark clouds that surround them. Be it true if
we must admit the sad truth, that many are
wrong; and persist in being wrong, that many
are false to every holy trust, and fathess toward
every holy affection; that many are coIdIy self
ish, and meanly sensual yes, cold and dead to
everything that is not wrapped up in their own
little earthly interest or more darkly wrapped up
in the veil Of Aeshy appetites. Be it so but
thank God that this is not all that we are obIig-
ed to believe. No there are true hearts amid
the throng of the false and the faithless There
are warm and generous hearts, which the cold
atmosphere ofsurrounding selfshness never chills,
and eyes unused to weep for personal sorrow,
which often overflow with sympathy for the sor-
rows of others. Yes, there are good men and
true men; thank them bless them for what
they are God from on high doth bless them,
and gVeth his angels charge to keep them; and
no where in the holy record are there words more
precious or strong, than those in which it is
written that God loveth the righteous ones. Such
men there are. Let not their precious virtues
be dlstrusted AS surely and as evidently as
some men have obeyed the calls of ambition and
pleasure, so surely and so evidently have other
men obeyed the voice of conscience, and chosen
rather to sufier with the people of God than to

To make Hens Law PerpetnalIY.

Hens will lay eggs perpetually if treated in
the following manner: Keep no ROSTERS; give
the hens fresh meat, chopped up like sausage
meat, once day, very small portion, say half
an ounce day to each hen, during the winter,
or from the time insects disappear in the fall till
they appear again in the spring. Never allow
any eggs to remain in the nest for what is called
nest eggs, When the roosters do not run with
the hens and no nest eggs are left in the nest,
the hens will not cease laying after the produc.
ton of twelve or fifteen eggs, as they always do
when ROSTERS and nest eggs are allowed; but
continue laying perpetually. My hens lay all
winter and each from seyenty-6ye to one humid
red eggs in succession.
If the above plan were generally followed
eggs would be just as plenty in winter as in
summer. The only reason why hens do not lay
in winter as freely as in summer is the want of
animal food, which they get in summer in album
dance in the form of insects. have for sever
al winters reduced my theory to practice and
proved its entire eorrectness.-Er

the pulpit that might resist with success the
evils ofproAigacy and infdeIity, and that might
bear every blessing of science and civilization
around the globe. From those lips which now
give utterance to horrid bIasphemy the gospel,
" in strains as sweet as angels use" might

hands that will soon tremblc as if palsed by age

Mari consists Of calcareous matter, clay and
sand, or some two of these earths, (ofwhich lime
and chalk is always one, in various proportions.
The sand mari should be applied to clays; and
clay marls. to sands. Sandy soils are dressed
with clay and calcareous matter, from eight to
one hundred loads per acre, and the beneficial
effects have been known to continue for thirty
years. Limestone is calcareous All sand soils
are much the better for being married. (cayed)
A stiff moist clay is called cold Sand and
lime loosen its texture. The proper season for
marng is Summer, as this kind ofmannre is then
dry, and more easily reduced to powder. Pre-
vious to maring, the land ought to be cleared Of
weeds, and rendered level, so as to spread the
mari equally over the surface. 1t may, however,
be spread during the winter frosts. Afterwards,
draw bush harrow over it to spread it eqnalIy.
Artificial mari may be formed, by mixing equal
quantities of pure clay and lime in alternate
layers, so as to form heap which should be ex-
posed to the winter frost This is well calcuIa-
ted for light lands; but if the soil be strong and
heavy, it will be necessary to substitute loan and
sand, for the clay. Natural mari is found under
moss, or peat, or low sunken s.-Practical
