Col GREEN: There are so many peo.

and, at the same time wondering tha,
they did not advance in the world as

hearing an old man remark the other
day, that "this plank road business,
about which there is so much talk now
a.aays, is Just guIl-trap, set by The
rich TO catch the poor, and all such
folks want The road for is TO make high
interest out of their money, by the high

on it,"
That all those who have taken this
view Of the subject (and presume thai
there are some more of the same stripe)
may be informed upon this toll subject,

FACT FOR FARMERS.

DR.. T. Baldwin has recently made
public the result of several years inves'
legations and experiments upon ma
nures, and the various ways of ferllliz
ing the soil. He states that the best
and speediest way to feriilize any soil,
is 10 cover il over with straw, bushes
or any raw material, so as completely
TO shade il. The surface Of the earth
thus being made cool, dark, damp and
close, soon undergoes a chemical pro-
cess like pu,rifaction, and becomes
highly fertilized., This plan of feriiliz'
ing, he says, may he applied with sue
cess TO any soil whatever, no matter
how poor, and the result will be aston
ishing

FINISHED EDUCATION.

Giobon truly says that the best and
most important part of every mans cd.
ucalion, is that which lie gives himself.
Many OF our youth Of both sexes feel
that their education is finished when
their school days are over. No idea
can be more destructive to the progress,
OF true improvement. Our education
is never finished till we are in our
graves The discipline acquired in cot.
Iege or in school is given TO US only
that we may be better able afterwards
to educate ourselves. We have only
then crossed The threshold of a course
OF improvement that must last US our
lifetime. Such discipline is important;
indeed. absolutely essential, 10 start US
Alright in the lIfe-toil before US: but 10
suppose that il completes all tina, must
be done for our intellectual or moral
welfare, is absurd. The bes! part of
mans education is then TO come, and
upon the manner in which each one
uses for himself the arrangement made
for him IN his early life. will depend the
character of his future. Much, too, is
said abou, mans having reached matu-
rity, and that he needs no more disci
P!ine or education. A false idea, pro-
duclvc of much mischief 10 real men
tai Improvement There is no period
in the history of the mind, in which it
is incapable of any farther progress, as
long as the body retains its health. No
man, who has lived TO the age of sixty,
in the constant employment Of his men
tai faculties. but sees that he is every
day acquiring greater powers, a great.
Ell control over what he does know, and
an accumulation Of new ideas. It IS
ucrcr TOO late in Nfe to learn.
