On the Improvement of the Soil
by Draining.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

As draining is the first and most perma-
nent mechanical operation Of improving the
soil, beg leave to offer a few remarks
through the medium Of your highly circu-
lated paper, and to point out those advanta-
ges which are to be derived from a judici-
Gus system of draining.
lst,-It is evident when too much water
exists in the soil, it keeps it constantly cold.
The heat of the Suns rays which is extend.
ed by nature to warm the soil, is expended
in evaporating the water from its surface,
and thus the plants never experience that
general warmth about their roots which SO
much favors their rapid growth.
2nd,-In wet soils that food Of the plant
which the soil supplies, is so much diluted
that either much greater quantity Of fluid
must be taken in by the roots, much more
work done by them. that is, or the plant
will be scantily nourished The presence
of SO much wafer in the stem and leaves
down their temperature; also, when the
Sun shine appears, an increased evaporation
takes place from their surface. A lower
natural heat in consequence prevails in the
interior of the plant, and the chemical chan.
ges on which its growth depends procured
with less rap. dity,
3rd,-Evaporation always induces cold
as the amount ofevaporation is always equal
to the amount Of water the soil contains. -
Consequently, it improverishes and peEishes
the plants growing suCn SOIL. Draining
therefore remedies this evil by carrying Of
the surplus water.
4Ih-VegetabIe matter becomes Of double
value in soil which is thoroughly drained
and filled with atmospheric air. Wher
drenched with water this vegetable matter
either decomposes very slowly, or produce.
acid compounds more or less unwholesomt
TO the plant, and even exerts injurious chem
zeal reactions upon the earthly and saline
constituents of the soil. In drained lane
this vegetable matter decomposes rapidly
produces carbonic acid in large quantity
as we'll as other compounds on which thu
plant can live; and even tenders the inor
ganic constituents of the soil more fitted t.

SABBATH EVENING.
By GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

'Tis holy time! The evening shade
Steals with soft control
Der nature, as thought Of Heaven
Steals DER the human SOIL;
And every ray from yonder blue,
And every drop of falling dew,
Seems to bring down to human woes
From Heaven a message of repose.
Der Won rock the solemn trees,
A shadowy group, incline,
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And DER them now the night winds blow
So calm and still, the music low
Seems the mysterious voice of prayer
Soft echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth,
Rise to a God beloved,
And Ger the waters move as erst
The Holy Spirit mhved;
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn,
Seem the fair notes of seraphlm,
And all earth's thousand voices raise
Their song of worship, love and praise
The gentle sisterhood Of flowers
Bend low their lowly eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears of dew
Upon the holy skies;
And the pure stars come out above,
Like sweet and blessed things Of love,
Bright signs in the eternal dome,
To guide'the parted spirit home.
There is a spell ofblessedness
In air, and earth, and Heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
OF young saint forgiven;
Oh! who, at such an hour Of love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And not kneel down upon the sod
With Natures self to worship God

Jenny Lind and the Archbishop

When Jenny Lind was in Ireland, the
Archbishop of Dublin entertained her in a
very handsome manner, and had all the
learned pundits, peers, and generals in
Dublin to meet her. When the Nghtin.
gale expected to hear the grave and reverend
dinner party plunge at once in philosophy,
the Archbishop startled her by asking aloud
the Vice-Provost Of Trinity College, who
faced him at the table. why white sheep
eat more than black sheepl" The Vice
ProViot and his brother sages puzzled them
selves for long time, giving one reason
more learned, aud therefore more foolish,
than another for the phenomenon, until
General BIakeney, thinking of Charles the
Seconds proposition to tie Philosophical
Society about the dead cat, exclaimed with
exul'aton, "But the white sheep don't eat
more than the hi~-L- ~l.~~P, y~>.- &c.,

Prize Ham--How Cured,

At recent Agricultural Fair in Mont
gomery equity, Mass, prize was awarded
to Nathan Waite for the best ham. This
gentleman's mode Of curing is as follows
The pork should be perfectly cold be-
fore beng cut up. The hams should be
sailed with fine salt, with portion of red
pepper, and about gill of moIasses to each
ham. Let them remain in salt five weeks,
then hang them up and smoke with hickory
wood for five or six weeks. About the first
of April take them down and wet them
with cold water and let them be well rubbed
with unleached ashes. Let them remain
in bulk for several days and then hang
them in the loft again for use.--SdtGrdggv
