Peal after peal of laughter greeted the
conclusion of the deacon's narrative, and the
little lawyer was dumb. Next morning he
left as he could not answer the question,
"where do lawyers 60 to"

LONG AND RorrrN WITH MANURE

LONG AND RorTEN WITH MANURE
Were we not guided by experience,
perhaps we should be led to imagine
there would not only be saving of the
ammonial salts, phosphates, ETC., by ap-
plying manure fresh to the soil, but that
soils would be equally benefited by being
thus treated. Not so. The chemical
action Of the manure will be equally eff
cacious on light and heavy soils, but this
is moro than counteracted by injurious
mechanically action. While unicrment-
ed dung will prove beneficial to clay, half
rotten dung will be ellicacioas to soils of
medium texture, and rotten dung to
our light ones Decomposed farm yard
manure is no better adapted for every
soil than one man is adapted for every
profession.

THERE is no book so cheap as news

self he was ready for the issue at any
moment and did not believe it could be,
postponed much longer with honor to the
State, or safety to ourselves. And whist
he made this broad declaration, he would
not counsel rashness or precipitation.
We have fallen upon time which more
than any other in modern times requires
GOODNESS, resolution, and a profound
political wisdom. One element, without
which all is lost, is union amongst our
selves. Let us take care, lest in dividing,
among ourselves, we become the most
efficient agent of our enemies. Hthere'
are any then, who desire to wait yet
little longer, he would say to them
let US not separate-but by our united
strength, shape our course so as to COM
mand success when we do act. 1t is
more important to accomplish the great
design of redeeming our country from the
ruin which awaits her, than that we should
begin the contest unprepared and with
divided people. Let us at all events keep
the State up to the color line, determined
to triumph or perish, and when the proper
moment arrives, to strike whatever blow
the rights of our country shall command,
and leave the consequences to God. He
would commit violence upon the feelings
of none. The difference which prevails
amongst us he hoped and believed, is on-
ly as to the mode by which we are to
free our country from bondage. The
North are united almost TO man against
us. Shall we not profit by the example
of the enemy, and unite too to protect
ourselves from their, assaults
tits the design Of our enemies to divide
and conquer us, and the darkest omen of
the times is the fact thar our enemies arc
united in solid phalanx, whilst the South
is distracted with intestine divisions. This
condition of things has.ever preceded the
fall of states and empires. Greece could
not unite to repel the invasion of Phillip,
because Phillip gold had preceded the
4 march of his cohorts. 1t is much to be
!. feared that federal SO i'd snow perfoEmina
similar work for US, and let Us beware it
does not produce same disastrous results.

that the eternal word has said, truth and
right will prevail.
We repeat again, go on; although sub,
