Patriotism.

were several Hungarians, on their way to
take part with their brethren In their
struggle for freedom. They have sacrifi-
ced good and valuable farms to obtain
means with which to reach their father
land, to fight her battles. One of the num-
Der said he felt confident that at least one

Instinct.

We see anecdotes of animal acuteness,
occasionally going the rounds. The fol-
lowing coon trick, related to us by a friend,
is as keen as we remember to have heard.
A raccoon was chained up near tavern
door in the country, in the neighborhood
of which sundry chickens were scratching
about. The coon wanted one amazingly,
but they kept beyond his reach. A pelce
of biscuit was dropped near the varmint; an
idea struck him. He Dit the biscuit into
crumbs, and scattered it within reach OF
his chain, laid down and covered up his
eyes with his paw. One of the chickens
soon came within reach of the sleeping
beauty and was snatched up IN an in
slant.

Slirrillg The Eirlh.

In frequently stirring the earth, there
are several and important advantages. 1t
loosens the soil, AMI makes it permeable to
roots of plants, reducing the sods and
clods, and mixes the different kinds or
layers of soil turned up by the plow to-
gether, and mixes the manure finely with
the soil. We have plowed green sward
TOR immediate sowing with fine seeds, and
oy manuring, and the frequent use of the
harrow and cultivator, we have made 1t OF
fine rilth, and well adapted to tender plants,
like old, mellow soil.
By stirring the soil often, so as to pre-
sent new surface 10 the air, il becomes
enriched by the elements inbibed from the
atmosphere. But if the earth is allowed
to rest, crust is formed at the top, and no
improvement of consequence takes place
in this way. Hence, in blowing and
cullivating land often, in order to kill witch
or couch grass, sorrel, or other noxlous
plants, the soil becomes improved by the
means used to eradicate the weeds with
which it is infested; SO that the whole
labor is not spent to destroy the cumberers
of the ground. The soil that is turned
up in deep-plowing, or that works up
moderately in subsoil plowing. becomes
greatly improved on exposure to the at
mosphere, and frequent STIRRING.
By stirring the soil, weeds are destroyed
in their tender age, before they become
large, to rob the plants of nulriment, or
require great deal of labor TO destroy
them. If the farmer can keep ahead OF
his work so as to Stir his tillage land often,
Just as the weeds have started, he will save
loal nf labor hpSIGaS
advantage i'll having his land Ill the best
condition in other respects for good cfop.
Some writer says, Ill regard TO manurlng:
Feed your crop, and your crop will feed
you;' and it may, with equal proprieiy, be
said, Protect your crop against the weeds,
and your crop will procect you against
want
Frequent stirring the soil is the cheap
est ami most ehecluat protection OF crops
against drought. The soil that is often
stirred, In a dry time, is moist almost to
the surface, while that which is neglected,
or lands in grass or small grains, which do
not admit of this operation, are dry to
great depth; and this is one reason why
wheat sowed in drills. and cultivated as
other crops sowed in ,he same way, yields
more than that which is sowed broadcast.
At another time, we may make further
remarks on this subject.
Every good cullivator is aware of the
important advantages in stirring the soil
often, and he practices on this pr.nclple
with excellent success. Let those who
have any doubts on the subject, select
part of lot, give it extra culture, and mark
the result.-Ne,o England Farmer.

The Ye4lllan.

The man who stands upon his own
SOIL who feels, that 6y the laws of the land
in which he lives-he is the rightful and
exclusive owner of the land which he tills,
is by the constitution of our nation, under
a wholesome influence, not easily lm5ioed
from any other source. lie taeis-other
things being equal-more strongly than
another, the character of man as the lord
of the inanimate world. OF this great and
wonderful sphere, which, fashioned by the
had of God, and upheld by his power, is
roll ng through the heavens, portion Is
his, his from the centre TO the sky. 1t Is
the space on which the generation before
him moved in its round of duties, and he
feels himself connected, bv visible link,
with those who preceded him, and he
is also, TO those who will follow him, and
to whom he is to transmit home. Per
haps his farm has come down to HIM from
his fathers. They have gone to their last
home; but he can trace their footsteps over
the daily scene of his labors. The roof
which shelers him, was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some inter-
e ting domestic tradition is connected with
every enclosure. The favorite fruit tree
was planted by his fathers hand. He
sported in boyhood, by the side OF the
brook, which still winds through the
meadow. Through that field lies the path
to that village school of his earliest days.
He still hears from his window, the voice
ofthe Sabbath bell, which called his fathers
and his forefa.hers to the house Of God,
and near at hand is the spot where he laid
his parents down to rest, and where he
trusts, when his hour is come, he shall be
dutifully laid by his children. These are
the feeling of the owner ofthe soil. Words
cannot paint them; gold cannot buy them;
the flow from the deepest fountains of the
heart; they are the life-spr!ng of fresh,
healthy generous national character.-Ed-
avard EUerett.
