and humane. let them beware Of that tu.
mutuous sea into which they purpose to
leap.
But Ws do no, believe that such an issue
awaits Us. The pliancy Of miserable
scra,nbIers for political preierment has
caused these violent gus,s. Thus hitherto
have victories been gained for Slavery
Thus they are sought again. Firmness is

will cdsr few practical views, spiced with
. little theory, upon green nanuring by
which ! mean The ploughing in Of plants
or vegetables in their green state. either
growing Or spread upon the land for that
purpose.
Every observer knows that air and We
ter are peculiarly impor.an, to the decom
position oforganic matter. AZ green veg.
stable substances contain great quantity
Of the latter, they much more readily
decompose than those which hsvs been
dried and therefore their effects are sooner
realized when mixed with the soil. The
healthy plant under the influence Of air
and light receives large amour, Of its
nutrition from The atmosphere in the form
Of gas-carboIic acid, which il returns 10
the soil. if buried in its green state, bu.
which is sgain se, free il allowed to decay
On the surface-also portion Of The saline
matter Of the green vegetable 10 carried

restored to the land therefore, buried ma.
nure in The form Of a growing crop, difa.
ses both organic and inorganic substances,
more equally through the soil than 10 any
other known process in which it can b
done.
Another principle upon which the ef7ica.
c. Of green manuring depends. 10 the
growing plants, while performing ,hei,
healthy functions. bring up. % far as their
roots eTtnd, those substances which are
useful 10 vegetation, and re:uin them in
their leaves and stems. When these plants
are ploughed under, there 10 that restored

soil, t!fen. is evident, a. the green planl

from the air and q greater or less depth
below. aud place it within the reach OF the
crop which is desig gned TO come TO maturi

Vegetable manures are moi, of course

England.

The article from the London News 90
our FIRST page, shows that our English
neighbors are at length beginning 10 realize
the indisputab!e fact that the British EN-
pire has reached The eliminating point Of
its power and glory. Bu, aside from the
general growth and development Of the
United States. there is one measure in
progress that. when completed, will Of il
self be the death blow to EngIand's com.
mercial supremacy-which is the founda-
iion of all her wealth and greatness-and
that is The ship canal across the lsthmus Of
Panama. We shall then. from our position,
leave England in Are back ground, and
become at once, and for centuries continue
to BE-, the foremost commercial power on
earth. The commerce Of the world will
pass through that creates, channel Of trade
which mankind have ever known, and will
most Of il BE- in our hands and under our
control. Our location and resources make
this a natural and unavoidable result. A
future Of wealth and prosperity will thus
open up before us, such a. the world new
er yet witnessed. or even dreamed Of.
But although England herself, in her it,
dividual existence. may perish, yet the
essential elements Of her power and glory.
will live after her 10 olher lands. and un-
der other forms Of poli,y. As Ralph
Waldo Emerson beautifully said. 10 re-
