FARMING Recommendations
dig their gardens two feet deep, but only
plough their land five inches. They take
especial care of their nag horses in good
warm stable, but expose their farm horses
and cattle to all weathers. They deny the
utility of drainage in strong tenacious cIays,
but dare not dig an underground cellar in
such soils, because the water would get
in. They waste their liquid manure, but
buy guano from Peru to repair the loss ;
and some practical men, who are in ecstac-
les with the urine of the sheepfold, have
been known seriously to doubt the benefit
of liquid manure But, it may be asked,
"Where is the capital to come from for all
these improvements" The reply will be,
"Where does the capital come from to make
railways and docks, to build steam vessels,
to erect a whole town of new squares and
streets, and to carry out every other useful
and profitable undertaking "-Paper read
by Mr.. Mech at the SoSicty Of Artc.

by the time that reaches him, we shall have
carried the defences."
The event fulfilled in every particular this
calculation of master mind.
TIL elast illustration is from our own
history, and from one of its great names,
Judge Chase. This eminent individual
presiding in Baltimore, at trial of some
rioters, at the close of the proceedings, in
very crowded court, directed the consta-
bles to convey the prisoners to Jail. The
constables, appalled, by the aspect of the
assembled multitude, after some hesitation,
told the Judge that it was more than their
lives were worth TO execute his ORDER
Judge Chase Immediately sprang from the
bench, directed the clerk to enter Samuel
Chase as constable, and then approaching
the prisoners, bid them follow him-order-
ed the crowd to make way for their consta-
bIe-and then conducted them, without OPP
position OF difficulty, through the mass of
astonished citizens to their place of con-
fnement, In all these cases, superiority
and success were found upon the close OBJ
servation and study of human mind, and of
the causes which affect and control its ope-

AsHEs.-Take especial care of all the
ashes made on your pIace-don't permit
them to be exposed to the weather, but
keep them under cover. Five bushels of
ashes, mixed with two double horse-cart

will convert the whole into good manure.

A BARN OF GLAss-Wc understand,
says the Western Times, that Mr.. N. Tuck
EFT intends to cover large barn, ITO feet
long, and % feet wide, on his farm at
Heavitree, with a glass roof, after the model
of the Palace of Glass. The expense will
not be above two-thirds the cost of slate,
and he Anticipates several advantages from
this novel roof; among others, it may be
applied to drying corn. The corn can be
placed in the barn Immediately on being
reaped, where 1t will have the benefit of
the sun when it shines, be protected from
the showers, and also dried by artificial
heat, if required, and then stacked in ricks
under covered stack yard This will
enable the land to be Immediately plough
ed up, and sowed with turnPs or rape,
which will prepare the land for another
cereal crop the following year, so that he
anticipates three crops in two years.

Editorial Summary,
WITH AN OCCASIONAL COMMENT.

D Ell PAso is town upon the Rio
Grande, containing between and 5000 in

the chief food Of its people.
This town is in the diocese of the Bishop
of Durango, whose residence is 900 miles
distant from that place. A good ride for the
old man.
Its women are far more intelligent and in
dustrious than its men. Rain is seldom seen
in that country-thcy are sometimes without
it for eight or nine months.

SAFETY OF THE ATLANTIC.
New YORK, Feb. Is.
The American Steamer Africa arrived here
this morning, bringing thirteen days later. in
telligence from Europe, and the Atlantic's
passengers and mails.
The Atlantic arrived safely at Cork, Ire
land, where she now is on the 22d ult. When
nine days out, she broke her shaft and expe-
renced terrible weather, and her bulwarks,
paddles and machinery were much damaged.
1t will take two months to put her in repair.
Her passengers speak in the highest terms Of:
her qualities as steamer and as an excellent
sea boat. She had completed nineteen hum
dred miles when the shaft broke. The pas
sengcrs passed vote of thanks to Captain
WEST. Under sail she averaged one hundred
and fifty miles per day-not so bad consider
ing her bulk.
AT Liverpool, on the lst instant, American
Cotton had gone down I'D. further, and tho

Mountain Signal, Ga, (Which paper, bye the

aphysics. Boston Transcendentalism, or what
ever the reader may choose to term it.
"May not mind, in its mutations and chan

jects, and bye-gone ages, and scenes be
brought to bear upon its present state, in
lines of recognition, and yet not with suffi-
cient distinctncss to arouse distinct memories
sufficient to absolutely define the objects"
A writer in the issue, now before us, calls
upon the Press universal for an elucidation
of its meaning. We give it up. There was
once in our community an old man-(a very
old man, inasmuch as his birth dated back to
a time "whcreof the memory of man rum
meth not to the contrary,") and this old man,
(hc was good old man too, for he had been
every thing from metaphysician to preach
er0-this old man, we say, might, if he were
alive, give some light upon the subject. We
think he might have done so, because he used
to repeat to us, in our boyish days, the fol-
lowing as the key to his knowledge. Said he,

Mn. RICHARDS LECTURES,

WE perceive that the citizens of Charles
ton have been enjoying a rich feast of rca-
son" in the shape of philosophical lectures
and experiments by Mr.. w. c. RICHARDS of
the Literary Gazette. Columbia is also
about to come in for share of this enjoy
mcnt. Treats of this sort are some of the
very cnviable advantages cities. and large
towns have over our Villages. Circuses,
monkey-shows and an occasional half-handcd
concert, are almost the only sights and sounds,
out of the usual routine, that greet our eyes
and ears. These we frequently force our
selves to enjoy, and sometimes, to say the
truth, there is not so much of the forcing in
the matter either. For we have once or twice
known it to be the ease, after long deartb
of amusement, that common bag-piper or
man with dog" brought down the { (CourD
House, benches, prisoners box and all. AS
a general thing however, our people have
taste enough to detect hoax or failure,
and good humor enough not to grumble at
the price of admission after it's all over. We
will say more-they have taste and educa-
ton enough to appreciate things Of much
higher order than these Harlequin exhibitions.
And this brings us back to Mr.. RlcHARD's
Lectures. What we wish TO know is, how
large subscription would induce that gen.
tleman to come, with all his apparatus, and
give us set of these discourses? We are
in earnest, and hope, if he sees this, he will
reply either privately or publicly.
