LIBERTAD:-CANro 2.
It seem'd as if it had been made in turn,
The last resort of some marauding knight,
For its huge walls in parts were scath'd and torn
AS by the force Of rage assaulting might
OF conquering victor; who had won the fight,
SoVe Norman chief perhaps, or gallant Scot,
Who there in combat met and turned in flight,
His stalwart foe who by experience taught,
OF former feuds this strong VALID tow'r Of refuge
sought.
And as a fortress it stood strong and free,
Browning dismay upon each venturous foe,
Save on the side which LOOKED towards the sea,
Where wild st. Lawrence tumbled far blow;
And up that none but heroes dar'd to Cos
For grim destruction there in ambush Lads
With lifted arm, to strike the fatal blows
To all who would that narrow pass invade,
In which pale terror fanfd his eyes and shook his
head.
Between this fortress and the whirlins food,
In bold relief there is rocky steep,
Which juts below in awful. threat'ning mood,
To rush down hcadlong On the roaring deep,
And crush the banks that proudly riding sweep,
Its yesty waves: or when at anchor laid:-
Their carnival Of wo mid nights scpulchral shade,
While dreful sounds of arms ring nightly thro' the
glade.

With dashing stream and mountain steep and wide,
There art too rear'd her mound-like parapet,
To awe with fear grim ruins houseess brood,
Still proudly strong that ancient rampant stood,

Defying confiagration, siege and flood,
The thunder's bolt. and wars tremendous shock
And both the assaults OF time and violence did
mock.
And it had pass'd thro' factions slipp'ry age,
As cnvious kings to conquest how'd the knee,
While Wanting France on England spit her rage,
And rous'd up millions struggled to be free,
While the world heav'd like some wind-driv'n sea,
Jumbling her States and Kingdoms all in one,
But Albion jealous of her liberty,
Rol,d her vassals on the Bourbon throne,
The Bourbon wept, with wrath; his States were
overthrown.s
The mad ming tide Of umult rex'd the deep,
Lash'd with its briny waves Columbia's strand,
And peace-lul.'d millions rous'd themselves from
sleep,
As rapine's hungry horde o'erran their land,
Aud troubling faction, rais'd on high her hand;

While strife and murder hurrd at their command,
Discordant brands; from battles fiery car;

WHEAT--RusT.-The Mediterranean
wheat in Athens county, Ohio, escaped
the rust this year.
Italian wheat grown this season in
Trumbnll county, from seed discovered
several years ago, by member Of con-
gress, among the straw in the box which
came out from Rome enclosing Grenough''s
statue Of Washington, remained entirely
exempt from rust, while other kinds Of
wheat suffered badly from this disease
This wheat is described as follows by the
Trumbull Wing: 4ee
''Two years since Mr. Ewalt obtained a
few heads, which yielded him, last sum-
mer, three quarts of seed. This was again
planted, and this year he has the extraor-
binary crop of two bushels and half Of
wheat. This ratio would produce fifty
bushels TO the acre. The grains are
large, and each head contains from six to
eightrows. 1t is very long bearded, while
the straw is much larger and different from
that of ordinary wheat.
This grain is doubtless very similar to
the Mediterranean wheat now beginning be.
be quite extensively seeded in the west al
though it may not be identically the same.
An agricultural correspondent Of the
Winchester { Va Republican, states that
in that part Of Virginia the Mediterranean
wheat escapes rust better than any other
variety.
The wheat crop of Washington county,
Pa, will not be more than half an average
yield this year, in consequence Of rust

ErrEcrs OF CRorpISG UpcN THE Soil.
May soil which is naturally fertile be
rendered barren by continual croppage !?
Yes. If the same kind of cropping be
carried on for a long time, the land will
gradually become less and less productive
Give me an example. 1.-THE same field
be cropped year after year with wheat or
oats, it will at last become unable to grow
either Of these crops.
Why is this ? Because these crops
draw certain substances from the soil in
great abundance, AMI after a number of
years the soil cannot furnish these sub
stances in sufficient quantities.
What substances does grain especially
draw from the soil? The grain Of our
corn especially exhausts the soil Of phos-
phoric acid and Of magnesia.
How would you remedy such special
exhaustion? By returning to the soil the
particular substances my crop had taken
out.
How could you return the phosphoric
acid, for instance | would apply bone
or guano, or some other manure in which
phosphoric acid abounds.
But with any kind of cropping may not
fertile soil at length be made an unrro-
ductive one ? Yes. If the crops are car
ried off the land, and If what they with
draw from the soil is not restored to it.
How is this explained? Every crop
takes away from the soil a certain quaint
ty ofthose substances which all plants re-
quire. If you are always taking out of
a purse, it will at last become empty.
Then you liken exhausted land to an
emyty purse? Yes. The farmer takes
his money out Of the land in the form of
crops, and il he is always taking out and
putting nothing in, it must at last become
empty or exhausted.
But if he puts something into the soil
now and then, may he continue TO crop it
without exhausting it? Yes. II he puts
in the proper substances in the proper
quantities and at the proper time, he may
keep up the fertility Of his perhaps
forever. f H
How much Of everything must the farm
er put into his land TO keep up its pre-
sent condition? He must put in at least
as much as he takes out.
But II he is to put into the land as much
or more than he takes out, where is his
profit TO come irom3 His profit consists
in this, that he takes off the land what he
can sell for much money, and he puts in
what he can buy for comparatively little
money.
How do you mean? mean that if l
sell my oats, hay or turnips, can get a
better price for them than l afterwards
give when buy them back again in the
form Of horse or COW dung.
Then the farmer can really afford to put
as much upon the land as he takes off, and
yet have profitp He can. He puts in
what is cheap and takes off what is dear.
What do you call the substances which
the farmer puts into his land? They are
called manures-and when putting them
in the farmer is said to manure his soil
