DR.. Jayns's .4ieraiipe.-We have
been informed by Mrs. Rose, of a cure performed
on her by DR.. Jayne's Alternative, which proves
lis superiority over every other remedy of the
kind. She has been afflicted for the last sixteen
years with Netroses or White Swellings, atlcn-
ded with alterations and cXfoliation of various
homes, DUNG which time many pieces have been
discharged from the frontal bone Of the Uranium,
from both her arms, wrists and hands, and from
both legs, and from the left femoral bone, and
from the right knee, besides painful ulcers on
other parts of her body, which has bafiled the
skill ola humber Of the most eminent ply scians
of our city During most Of the time her suffer.
ngs have been circulating and Jeplorable.-
About three months since, she was induced to
try Dr. Jayne's Alternative, which has had an as.
tonishngly happy effect upon her, by removing
all pain aud swelIinss, and causing the ulcers to
heal, while at the same time her general health
has become completely restored, so tina, she now
weighs some D pounds more than she did before
she commenced the use of this truly valuable
prepaTanon.--N atipe Eagle.

AGRICULTURAL.

SUBsoIL PLoUGHING.-We extract the
following from the address of Mr.. Newell
before the Essex. Massachusetts agricuI-
tural society:
The experiments Of subsoiling which
have come to my knowledge have not ena-
bled me to form any definite opinion of its
effects. In Mr. Colmar's last report of
European Agriculture, he gives the result
OF certain experiments in subsoiling upon
a stiff clay soil. One distinguished farmer
says -" Until there is an escape for the
water through the subsoil, any opening of
it but provides a greater space for holding
water, and will rather tend tof9 injure than
improve the soil" Other good cultivators
complain of its being Intellectual from the
soil being too adhesive and heavy, and
soon running together" Another says ::
''He expected from the complete breaking
up of the subsoiI that the parts would have
remained distinct for years, but such was
not the case. They all had ran together,
and were as compact as when fist moved
by the plough" 1t seems that the English
agriculturists agree that, on an adhesive
soil, subsoiling Is not recommended until
after a thorough draining, but that all shall
low soils of the lighter kinds will be ill.,
proceed by it.
have used a subsoil plough for two
years. thought last year that the land
SUBSIDIZED and in corn stood the drought
better than that not SUBSIDIZED. On the
grain crop this year | could perceive no
difference. 1t has occurred to me that the
principal benefit to be derived from subsoil-
ing will be in keeping the surface mellow
and porous, thereby enabling the subsoil
to retain moisture to be impaired to the
suflace soil, as the exigencies of the plants
may require; and if this should prove to
be SO, whether a more shallow surface
ploughing would not furnish the crop with
vegetable mould equal to its wants. If
this be settled, then the surface soil may be
made richer. The same manure incor-
with four inches ofmould, that now
within six or seven, would make a ma
terial difference with the crops. Judge
Buel, on his land near Albany, found four
inch ploughlng deep enough to give the
best crop he could obtain from those lands.
| speak with no certainty on this point. /
have succeeded best with deep ploughing,
butt know of no reason why the subsoiI
should not obviate the necessity of
deep surface ploughing, if a shoal surface
Of rich mould will perfect the plants better
than deeper one Tess rich; and provided
that the loss, if any, by evaporation is
equal in both cases.

SONG OF THE AMERICAN
SOLDIER.
BY DIR, STEPHENSON.


My song Is Of this happy land,
My sword is for its glory;
Now comrads fll-my toast is for
The warriors of her story;
May fame around their temples Irvine
The wreath which nought can sever,
And may their proudest motto be
THE Unions flag forever"
We own no sovereign but the law
The sovereign people made it
No titled despots stain its code
No lordling tops degrade it.
The "great republic Cthus we style
This mighty land of %frcedom.)
Has warrior sons to guard her rights,
And warrior chiefs to lead them.
And beauty smiles throughout the land,
To charm and caress us ;
And who would spurn, the soldiers lot,
When beauty deighTSs to bless us
Before the worlds ~appIauding gaze
The gallant soldiers duty,
Is first to stand for native land.
And then for native beauty.
My song is of this happy land
My sword is for its glory:
Now comrads fill--my toast is for
The warriors of her story.
May fame around their temples 'rwlne
The wreath which nought can sever
And may their proudest motto be
The Unions flag forever"
