AGRICULTURAL.
From the 7eaneSsee) NlturoList. Agricultural Chemistry.
CARBON.

All substances in nature contain a large proportion of carbon. It is found pure alone in the diamond, but charcoal is pretty nearly pure carbon. Agr- cultural readers are aware that wood confined ill any way, with enough air merely to keep the flame alive, till all the watery and airy particles are driven of, forms charcoal. Though prepared in the best manner, there will be small amount of earthly and saline matter coll tained in it..
 Charcoal heated in the air. burns with very little flame, and wholly disappears, with the exception of small ash resi- dum. When burnt, it is converted into carbonic acid gas, which ascends, when not confined, and minglcs with the atmosphere. It is light aud porus may be seen through with micros cope, and can be very easily blown through. The diamond and backlead, or plumbago, which are carbon in all. other form, are much more dense, and consequently much heavier The form is times. and the latter 9 l,2 hea- vier than charcoal. The diamond may be burnt in oxygen gas, and, like char coal, it disappears III the form of car bonic acid gas.
 All plants, in a dry state, countain about fifty per cent. of carbon.
 lCharcoaI serves several important pur- poses
 l. From their porosity, they are ca pablo of absorbing, in large quantities, 'the gaseous substances and vapors which exist in the atmosphere"
 9. They also separate from liquids all impurities. Even port wine passing through charcoal will be rendered col oress, and casks with inside charred. will preserve water considerable lime.
 3. Putridty in flesh will be removed by the use of charcoal and disagreea- ble ordorsal also destroyed : as is evin- ced by combining it with night soil. which by its use is converted into DOT table and most valuable manure. There is little doubt also that charcoalS con- centrate the amonia of the atmosphere. and thereby contribute to the growth of plants. They act mechanically in keeping land porus, and hence charcoal beds are the most permanent manure heaps. As the carbon is converted in- to gas, of course, plants are supplied with it by means of the atmosphere.
 OXYGEN.
 On this important subject, avail my self of the aid of Prof Johnson :-
 "Oxygen is a substance with which we are acquainted only in the gaseous or erlform ' By the unaided senses 1t cannot be distinguished from common air, being void of color, taste, and smell. But if a lighted taper be plunged into it, the flame is wonderfully increased both in size and brilliaucy, and the ta- per burns away with grea, rapidity.
 The effect of this gas upon animal life is of similar kind. When a living animal is introduced into large vessel filled with oxygen, the rapidiiy Of the circulation is increased, all the vnal functions are stimulated and excited, a state Of fever comes on, and after time the animal dies
 By these two characters, the oxygen is distinguished from every other ele- mentary body It exists in the atmos- phere to the amount of 2i per cent. of its bulk, and ill this state of air is pe-

New Terms of Advertising.

The accumulation on our books of debts due us in other countless and m other States amp the great difficulty attendant upon their colIec- tion-to say nothing of the tax thereby imposed on us, and the losses we are forced 10 sustain. by many of our distant debtors DeglectiDg to send us the amounts they may severaly owe forces on us the necessity of adopting mode of computing the cost of publications to be made in our columns, which can be easily under- stood, and which will enable our patrons 10 en- close, with their advertisements, the money to pay for them. Our new terms will not vary, materially, from the old ones and where there is any change it will be found to be in favor of the advertiser For example, we propose to make 80 words, or less, one square more than SO, and less than 160 two squares; more than l6O. and less than 24O three squares, &c, Under the old system the square averages about 75 words.
 The price of advertising will not be changed; the change in the mode of computing tbe quan- tity of matter in advertisements, is adopted spe. cially with view to relieve 0nrself from the evils of the credit system.
 These rdIes we propose, shall apply in all cases where the persons making publication re- side Ont of this cry, except they be Sheriffs, Coroners, Registers in Chancery, Clerks of Court, or other public officers.
 Where we open an account with officers or court and others of that class, we reserve to our self the right to charge the old prices.

they were very unlike. Both were called
sgood women,o both were members of the
Orthodox church, in "good standing" yet

the other was not. The reason why Mrs.
Jones was not thought more Of was this
she was always in worry about something

Her husband wouldn't come for his breakfast
when it was ready, or her children would

would but half do their work, no one had
half as many vexatlons "to worry her life
