TANNING. A recent discovery in the art of tan
mng leather has been made by DR.. Turnbull, OF
London which is said ina French paper " to pse
everything that has been discovered in the pract-
cal arts for these hundred years" The process is
described in a communication to the Academy of
Sciences. When membrane intervenes between
two liquids of different de1sties, they produce two
currents, the one outward called eXtosmoss, and
the other inward called endosmosis. BY this new
physical law the currents interchange until they
become of the same specific gravity; thus DR.
Turnbull, by sewing up a hide filled with one Ii
quid of certain specific gravity and then INNER
sing the hide in another liquid of greater or lesser
density, keeps up this reciprocal action until such
time as the hide is thoroughly tanned BY the Or
binary process of tanning it requires eighteen
months to tan an OK hide, and four hundred pounds
of bark. DR.. Turnbull tans the hide in fourteen
days, and with only one hundred pounds of bark.
This process gives an extra weight of leather va
rying from fifteen to twenty-five pound per cent
Calves skins which under the old process require
an immersion in the vat of five, six, and seven
months, are by the new process tanned in two days
This rapidty of execution is by no means attend
ed with interiority to the leather produced. On
the contrary, it is said to become much better, all
the saturation required for the production of good
leather being as fully effected by the new as the
old process.

PROMISES AND PERFORMANCES.

He that is true to his word, has the happiness
always, to be credited and relied on, and is much
valued upon it while the man that is regardless
of it, fails of the advantages accruing thereby al
the lime it should stand him in the greatest stead
When we promise, doubtless our performance is
expected and if we fail in it, we throw high in
dignity on those we break with, and instead of a
blessing, are likely to have curse thrown upor
ourselves.
Many times a mans whole stock of ~ orldly con
ISOLATION is laid upon promise, which broken, his
anchor is gone, and he is lett wreck on the bolster
Gus waves and winds of adversely. This many
times takes off from the bengnties and pleasures
of life and crowds him down to the horrors Of sad
defeat, which compels him to desperateness that
may prove Of very i'll consequence.
He that loosely promises, as if i. was light af-
fair, and of slender consequence, and is negligent
Of performing what he has promised, overwhelms
himself in more veXations than can, without diff
Guilty, if at all, be removed.

INDIAN CORN


This crop has generally been thought to be one
of the most expensive crops raised in New Eng
land but we have long been of the opinion that
if fair play" was given it, the cost need not be so
much above other crops as TO lead to relinqulsh-
ment of its culture We recolect that the state
ment was made some years ago 10 committee OF
the Ken. Co. Agricultural Society, by person who
applied for premium on this crop. The cost was
then put down at two shlings many disadvantag-
es attended the cultivation of it, which enhanced
the cost
We once kept debt and credit with an acre of
corn. The year was not very favorable and we
charged the VIII ole expenses TO the crop The eX-
pense per bushel, came up to AZ cents, Corn, with
us, then, sold at IS cents.
There is an idea that it is an uncertain crop that
either drought of summer, or frosts of autumn in
jure it. Now, we doubt if there is any surer crop
among us. We wish we could obtain history OF
the early hard lross that have taken place for the
last twenty or thirty years, with a view Of oscer-
tanning how often this crop has suffered by frcss.
We dare say that it has ripened as often as any
crop that we cultivate.
Farmers would do well 10 plant an extra acre
next year, for the sole purpose Of grinding up corn
and cobs together. The Improvement of mills for
this purpose make it quite an object to provide
an abundance Of this kind of feed-!uaine Far.

From the Southern CultiYator.

Mr.. CANAAN IL had field of 10 acres, natural
" very poor. $50 much So that the first natural pro-
ductlon was poor growth of sheep sorrel, GER
tain indication of sterty) which intended to put
in wheat The summer was something like The
last, excessively dry When the time arrived for
breaking up this field, it was so hard that plough
with two horses could not be got into the ground.
-Four horses were then attached TO the plow and
tired without success. a coulter was tried with
two horses, but the draft was to great, and four
horses enabled the plowman to break up the field.
The weather continued dry, and when it was
time to SOW the wheat, the plows were put into the
field plowed with the coulter, and it plowed well.
The wheat was sown; no manure was applied
The wheat when harvested was very toerable
crop-for such poor land, very good-an there
were many places from 10 to 20 yards square. COW

been on the land, and how it came to grow, can
only be solved by future experiments.

POETRY.
THE MUSIC OF THE CITY OF Col


Flow on, flow on, We hallow'd solemn measures
Mysterious Language of angelic peace,
Still singing of high pleasures,
And long the lonely soul your uyng accom- Ueasutes'
Flow ON, flow on, and never cehsej
Till all Is peace and love on earth,
And man be turn'd to virtue strong;
And mindful of your awful song
Foregoes his low-bred and mirth,
In thoughts that unto you belong
Flow on, How on, yo tones of sweetness,
Till all the discords Of our cline
be swullow'd in your march sublime,
Wherein the eternal bride advances
Wherein the sorrows of our hcetness'
Widowed hopes, and evil chances,
Are lost in the eternal chime.
Lin the Ambrosian hymn sublime,
Or deep Gregotan chant of plaintive undor-chimc
For solemn, deep and awiul-ton'd
Must be the sounds that speak of God,
Of heaven and hell of Christ in Judgment thron'd,
And of the path the saints have ttod
Sounds worthy of the words the Psamist sung,
And which in Christ have found a tongue,
And all his saints among;
Like cars of fiery steeds, when angels Blended
To take them to their rest
Flow on, flow on, yo tones of sadness
Until the heart hath wopt her stains awayi
She waketh now from all the madness
Which DER her spirit hath had sway,
And seeks puco to weep
But there are sounds more grave and deep,
Which conscience shall awaken from har sleep;
She looks around,
Rous'd from the spell which long hath bound,
And bears the Judgment wheels in thunder FILLING,
While nearer as they draw, like lightning now,
The judges eye the heart appalling,
Brings memory forth upon the brow
Ring out, yo tones sad and long,
With that deep solemn undorsong
That wakes stern grief and penitential fear
Flow on, flow on yo tears and signs
Such are the strains most meet
For them who in their exile long and drcar,
Sit by the of Babylon proud seat
While ponitence therein her alteTd brow describes.
Where Hood of light upon her steals,
And all the unceau heart reveals,
wake your accents sad, and solemn closes,
Until the soul to angel songs may rise,
And in their quiet haven it reposes.

BENEFIT OF PRESSING THE EARTH.

4 correspondent OF The Michigan Farmer Wrltes
A few years since was employed to make a
garden. The soil was grayelly loan. Among
the beds made, was an onion bed, about 8 feet by
90. The earth for this bed carefully dug to the
depth of ! inches, and with garden rake made
very mellow. The next day, the seed was sown in
drills being about inches apart. Immediately
after sowing the seed, one half of the bed was
stamped down as hard as the weight OF lad Is
years of age, by pressing once or twice, would
make it. The other half was light. Shortly after
the onions were up, they were wecded and careful
ly thinned, so as to stand about 3 inches asunder
in the drills all over the bed. The SOIL during
their growth was not moved any more than was
incident to the pulling up of the weeds. With re-
gard to the result suffice it to say that the onions
which grew on the part of the bed which was
stamped, come up first, and grew more than double
in size and quantity than those on the other half
being, in fact, as good Weld as ever saw.'

When we see female standing for hours before
the glass, to make a splendid appearance in the
ballroom, that she may dance away the midnight
hours, with characters she would scorn to speak to
in the street. we confess we can see nothing beau
titul in her But when we see women around the
couch Of pain, bathing the feversh brow and allie
waiting distress when see her in the novels of
poverty and want--there we behold angel beauty
and loneliness We care not whether she can
dance or play but we do care whether she has a
heart of sympathy for the unfortunate of Gods
creatures. When the heart has been imbued with
pious feelings and Christian benevolence, woman
becomes an angel of mercy, and the hosts of Heav
en- look upon her course with smiling Appreciation
