AS much has been said in agricultural Jour-

nscertained from analysis, have come to the
conclusion that every farmer may make some
tons year of an equal fertalizcr, and at trihing
expense per ton, compared to guano.
Within the last twelve months, have prepar-
ed and applied several tons with satisfactory re-
suits. One instance will here state, after tel.

NINE Is THINE.

Mine is thine, and thine is mine
Such is Loves most holy sign
When the mothers bosom bare
Givcih milk to baby fair;
When the ailing infants cries
Bring tears to the mothers
Smile for smile. and eye for eye,
Tear for tear, and sigh for sigh
Then appears the ray divine
Mine is thine, and thine is mine.
Mine is thine. and thine is mine
Such is Loves mos; holy sign;
when the lover takes his bride,
Each shall share the same fircsidc,
Each the blue sky overhead,
Each the board and each the bed,
Each the night and each the day,
Each the toll and each the play,
Pulse to pulse and start for start.
Beat for beat aud heart tor heart;
Thus they show the law divine
Niue is thine. aud thine is mine.
Mine is thine, and thine is mine
Such is Loves most holy sign;
When the members of the State
Children are OF Mother great;
One in heart, and one in head,
Like two lovers ripcly wed;
When they each shall share as one.
Morning red and evening dun,
Each the spade and each the lutte,
Each the work and each the fruit,
Each the common table spread,
Each the blue sky overhead;
Then shall rule the law divine
Mine is thine, and thine is mine.

DEATH OF DURoC.
Napoleons greatest misfortune. that which
wounded him deepest, was the death ofhs friend
Duroc. As he made "a last effort To break the
enemys ranks, and rode again to the advanced
posts to direct the movements of his army. one
OF his escorts was struck dead by his side.
Turning to Duroc, he said " Duroc, fate is de-
termlned to have one of us to-day" Soon after
as he was riding with his suit in n rapid trot
along the road, cannon ball smote a tree beside
him. and CHANGING, struck General Kirgener
dead, and tore out the entails of Duroc. Napo.
leon was ahead at the time, and his suite four
abreast, behind him. The cloud of dust their
rapid movements raised around them. prevented
hn from knowing at first who was struck. But
when It was told him that kirgener was killed
and Duroc wounded, he dsmounted, and gazcd
long and sternly on the battery from which the
shot had been fired then turned towards the
cottage into which the wounded marshal had
been carried.
Duroc was grand marshal of the palace, and
a bosom friend the Emperor. OF noble and
generous character, of mistaken integrity and
patriotism, and firm steel in the hour of dan
ger, he was beloved by all who knew him.
There was a gentleness about him and purity of
feeling the life of camp could never destroy.
Napoleon loved him--for through all the chan
ges of his tumultuous life he had ever found his
affection and truth the same-and it was with an
anxious heart and sad countcnance he entered
the lowly cottage where he lay. Ills eyes were
filled with tears as he asked if there was hope.
When told that there was none, he advanced to
the bedside without saying II word. The dying
marshal seized him by the hand and said, g My
whole life has been cOnsecmted 10 your service,
and now my only regret is, that can no longer

IN this transaction2 Where in his conduct
is to be seen the delicacy Of the high minded
statesman in thus abusing the trust re-
posed in him, to vote money into his own

guilty and voted against it; let it be remem-
bered that Alfred Kelley, true to his own
selfish interest-and true to the domination
Of the Banks-by his vote enabled the whig
