ward is sure" Neighbor Wilkins opened
his eyes in astonishment at his own igno-
rance, and said, 81 see see! \ feeble
starved man cannot work much. A poor
starved field cannot bear much" Common
sense might have taught him, but it had not.
Thousands, like him, "scra,ch gravel' for
naught all their days. Wilkins saw where
he missed it. The next year he planted
four acres Of corn after he had coated the
field with all the fertilzing material he could
gather during one short winter. He told
me that che had scraped all creation" No
vember told true story. Two hundred
and sixty bushels Of corn made him laugh.
His wife made puddngs without grumbling
and his children ate with pleasure. Thus,
friend Wilkins went from field to field, and
fed it as he went In its turn it fed him, his
family, his cattle. His barren farm became
productive, his naked fields became clothed
with herbage. He became rich. His farm
was rich. Peace dwelt in his household,
plenty filled his granaries, and fortune smil-
ed upon him. Are you an unfortunate farm
er, cursed with poor land and stinted crops?

DREAMS.
Oh, have had dreams, | have had sweet dreams
Of chldhoods bright and sunny hours,
When wandered all day by the sparkling streams
And culled for my mother the gay wild flowers
When wove her a wreath ofthe green woodbne
And twned in it berries and buttercups gay,
And | crowned her pale forehead and she kissee
mine;
All! she, like the flowers, have faded away!
She has faded away-faded away!
I've had bright dreams of the old elm tree,
Beneath whose branches, spreading wide,
have sported away in childish glee
The aeet-winged hours ofeventide
have dreamed of the friends once gathered there,
To folic away the livelong day,
Untrammeled by fear, unwearied by care;
But they, like the rest, have faded away
They have faded away-faded away!
have had sweet dreams of fairy form,
That was around me there,
OF her brd-li voice, with its silvcry charm,
Floating away the evening air;
But alas, for the flush and the wasting breath
Alas! for thy power, Decay!
An angel beckoned her home from the earth;
Like the mornng-star she faded away
She has faded away-faded away.
have had bright dreams as wandered alone,
When still midnight in silence reigned,
When my own pale star shone bright from its
throne,
And in visions of hope my soul was chained;
But the cares of earth would come again,
bo,r sic wit,
And the visions wove ofmy destiny then,
All they like the rest, have faded away
They have faded away-aded away!

GUANO VS.. FERTILIZERS"
CLIFTON FAcroRY, Sept. II, 1850.
Mr.. EDIToR.-The time is now al hand
when farmers should be preparing their land
and beginning to sew their crops Of wheat,
and would beg leave to trespass little
upon your time and patience TO say few
words in regard TO manures, humbug, etc.
In April, 1S49, with view 10 test the re-
lalive value of different kinds of manure,
made tie following experiments The very
poores, part of my field being selected for
the purpose, five acres of land were prepar-
ed for corn. On lot No. /, seven bushels
Of ground bones were applied, broadcast,
at a cost (including freight, bags, etc.) OF
abou, S4,OO Lot No. was dressed with
Chappell's "Ferlilizer," at cost Of 1926
every thing included. Lot No. 3 was man
ured with Pa,sgonian Guano, at cost OF
$4,OO. Lo, No. received Peruvian Guano
to the amoun. of $500. Lot No. 5 was
erun upon its own hook" crop Of old
fashioned tow-grass being the only dressing
it enjoyed. The result, by actual measure
ment, under my own observation, was as
follows: Lot No. l produced l-2 bbls
ofgood sound corn; lot No. 2 ('.Fertilizer''1
yielded within trifle Of 3 1-2 bbls.; 10, N o
(Pat. Guano) produced bbls.; lot N 4
(Per. Guano.) 6 bbls.; lot No. 4, (tow-grass,>
3 l-2 bbls You will doubtless be able ia
calculate the advantages derived from the
application Of the "Fer,ilizer.'' Some per.
sons might have been satisfied Of the worth
lessness Of the article from this experiment
but being determined to test the efficacy o
its fer,iliziug powers thoroughly, concIud
ed to send up and get few barrels more
with view 10 applying it to wheat. The
article was sent as ordered, and the bill a
the same time, with the usual charges o
drayage, commission, ETC., ETC., etc., etc. !
was applied (he Fertilizer" not the bill ,

of 1-2 bbls. to the acre, amounting in dol

there is also some Of the milk sugar before
mentioned. The casein, like all other bodies
containing much nitrogen, is very liable to
decomposition. This soon ensues, there
fore, whenever it is contained in butter and
certain chemical transformations are by this
means soon commenced, whereby the mar
garne and elaine are in part changed to
other and very dissgreeabe substances :;
those which give the rancid taste and smell
to bad butter. The milk sugar is instru-
mental in bringing about these changes. 1t
is decomposed into an acid by the action Of
the caseIn, and decided effect upon the
fatty substances of butter, causing them to
become rancid. This action and consequent
changes come on more or less rapidly, as
the temperature is warmer or colder.
No matter how we'll the butter is made
in other respects, if bu,termilk be left in it,,
there is always from the causes above men
toned, liability to become rancid and Of

salt as to be hardly ea,able. Another sea-
son for so much poor butter, which is un-
fortunately too common, is to be found in
the impure quality Of salt used. This should
not contain any magnesia or lime, as both
iinjure the butter they give it bitter taste,
and prevent its keeping for any length Of
time. Prof Johnston mentions simple
method Of freeing common salt from these
impurities. 1t is to add to 80 lbs of sal,
about q,s. Of boiling water, stirring the
whole thoroughly now and then, and allow
ing it to stand for two hours or more. 1t
may be aferward hung up in bag, and al
lowed to drain, The liquid that runs off is
saturated solution of salt, with all the
magnesia and lime which were present.
These are much more soluble than the salt,
and are consequently Dissolved first.
Want of caution as to the quality Of salt
used, and Of care in separating the butter
milk, cause the spelling of very great stocks
Of butter every year; a large part Of .ha.
sent to Europe is sold for soap grease, and
for other common purposes, simply because
these points have been neglected. Prof:

THE DRUNKARD's WIFE.-Above all

THE DRUNKARD's WIFE.-Above all
others woman has the highest personal in
terest in the success of temperance for up
on none has the curse of intemperance fall
len more heavily. The sanctuary of home,
which she seems peculiarly fitted to adorn,
is the field in which she must reap most Of
her enjoyments. How awful then must it
be, when that little sanctuary is invaded by
the demon rum, and prolaned by the drum
kard's presence. IT'S not the drunken
husband, son, or brother, who feels all the
keen torments of such home. No, ii is
the wife, mother. or sister, who knows all
the trials and affections that cluster there.
Though the man drains the cup, still the
Ee can 60 into the world for companion
ship and comfort; she must find hers in
solitude al home. The excitemen.s furn-
ished by public amusemen.s and pleasures
are open to him; bu. for her there is no
relief save that found in tears at her own
lonely hearhstone.
II is not alone from these circumstances
that her keenest sorrows arise. Cold and
hunger, poverty and sickness could be en-
dured, if they were all but there are others
that she will tell you exceed these. II is
the loss of the love and companionship Of
him who had promised to protec. and de-
fend her. To have the consciousness that
he for whom she had left home, friends, and
fortune, and around whose heart she had
entwined the most sensitive feelings Of her
nature, was becoming senseless BRUTE
Give her companion whose feelings are
not destroyed by rum, who has pure and
warm affections, such as frs. won her from
the parental roof-and she will patiently
bear the loss of everything else. But tear
these off the domestic altar, and what has
the world to give her for them? Nothing
absolutely nothing. The freshness of her
heart will wither and die-.she will mourn
over her crushed hopes and bligh,ed pros
poets and life will be endured rather as
providental aflclion than as the source Of
happiness.

CAPRICE AND INcoNsTANcY.-Ther are
some persons who possess many amiable
qualities, yet destroy the effect Of them all
by one predominant failing, fund of caprice
and inconstancy. These persons rarely
succeed in gaining one sincere friend; on
the contrary, they seldom fail to disgust
those whom they had at first atac.ed, be-
cause they frequently receive with marked
reserve, one day, those whom they treated
with kindness the day before. On one oc-
casion those changeable beings will scarce
allow others to join in a conversation-the
next they will not by single word mani
fest desire to please. Their projects or
undertakings are as variable as their ideas,
and are never pursued with such steadiness
as would encourage any rational person to
Join in them nor can it ever be conjecIur-
ed from the projects of one day or hour,
what those of the next may be. They
eagerly seek one moment after those objects
which the next they dispise; and are one
dav dissolved in vain JOY, another oppress-
ed with melancholy. But what is worse is,
that this irrational capriciousness, beside
rendering them The jest of others, and bur-
den to themselves, materially endanger their
eternal salvation. Their ideas and feelings
or spiritual matters are jus! as variable as on
all other occasions their plans of amend
ment and regularity, though frequently en-
tered on with ardour, are as frequently
abandoned; consequently there can be no
persons so little likely to gain a crown,
which is promised only TO perseverance.
