MANAGEMENT of Soils.

A soil would never get exhausted if man.
aged with skill, but would continue to i'm
prove in depth and fertility in proportion
to the industry bestowed upon it. The food
of plants, it is true, may be exhausted from
the soil by repetition of cropping with any
one family of plants, if we neglect the appli-
cation of such fertilizers as may have been
taken from the soil by that family; but no
part of the growing season is required for
the soil to rest, or lie fallow, if judiciously
managed by successive varying of the crops,
or by supplying to them such food as may
be compensation for what has been taken
off by the previous crop. The first object
to be attained for securing certain and
profitable return of produce from the soil
must be the rough drainage; the next object
is, breaking into the subSoa 10 the desired
depth-not without first considering whether
it is proper and profitable TO shift or turn
I'D the subsoil at once to the influence of the
atmosphere, or whether it be best to break
into it we'll first, by shifting the surface soil
and allowing the subsoil to remain and re-
ceive-frst the beneficial influence of the
atmosphere, and then-at the trenching, a
portion of the subsoil may be safely stirred
up and mixed with the surface soil; this
practice continued for every succeeding
crop, will establish a healthy fertilizing sur
face soil to any desired depth.
If repeated STRINGS of the surface arc
adopted, according to the nature of the soil
and weather, every growing crop will con-
tinue in healthy luxuriance, without ever
suffering by receiving injury from too much
moisture, drought or frost. In addition, by
constantly scariiying, hoeing and forkine
the surface soil, not only obnoxious insects
and their larvae are expelled, but weeds
would never make their appearance, mucf
less have chance of committing their ac-
customed robbery of the soil and crops
Besides, by such repeated stirring, the sol
is always prepared, sweet and healthy, fol
succeeding crops-no mean consideration
either when we observe the loss of time ant
produce occurring TO such a ruinious extent
in some localities, by allowing weeds to rol
and choke the growing crops, and to shec
their seeds, productive of progeny SINH
larly injurious to the crops next in rotation.
The application of manure is most essen
i 4 I :.
when the soil is established in healthy con-
dition, and maintained thus by a constan
attention to surface stirring. Yet the appli
cation of manure is a secondary considera
tion; for though it may be very liberally
applied, and with considerable expense, ye
without first insuring the healthiness ofth
soil, much property and labor will be sacri
feed.

Death of Mr.. Daguerre.

The death of the celebrated discovercr OF
the daguerreotype took place suddenly at
Brie, village near Paris, recently. He
distinguished himself early as a scene pain
ter, by the happiness OF his effects in light
and shade. The chapelof Glenthorn, at the
Abigu, the Rising of the Sun in les .lEricians
were saluted by the audience with cnthusi-
astic applause. His inventive genius then
erected the diorama, Every one remembers
the series of cathedrals, of Alpine scenery,
producing almost the effect of illusion upon
the spectator, and diversified by magical
changes of light, which Mr.. Daguerre ex-
hibited in the Regents park London. Later,
he succeeded in immortalizing his name, by
fixing the images of the camera obscura, and
realizing, in an instant, effects which leave
at an immeasurable distance the most elabo-
rately finished engraving.

GYpsrYs.-A band of Gypseys lately
landed at New York, among the immigrants
brought from Europe by an emigrant ship
They are now encamped, with their COW
cred Wagons, in the neighborhood of Hobo
ken, and report themselves from the vicinity
of Durham and New Castle, England
The women and children are said to possess
the peculiar physical features oftheir strang'
race, having slender figures and an abund
ance of black hair. The men pursue th'
business of tinkcrs, and the females cool
their meals by fires made in the open air.

The Song of Death.

Irode on the wings of the hurricane,
And come on the evening air;
No voice disputeth my gloomy reign,
Nor fortress my power can dare!
How sweetly sleepeth the pallid form
When the vital spark is fled,
And the kiss Of love cannot re-warm
The marble brow of the dead!
come in the solemn hush of night,
And at twilight's thoughtful hour,
I come when the path of life is bright,
And when wrathful tempests lower.
leone TO the place of wit and wine,
And visit the home of care;
sweep over earth in the pale moonshine,
And sport in the noontide glare!
meet the youth of generous heart
As he mounts the steep of fame,
go--but he felt the stroke of my dart,
And sinks in reach of a name.
All ages are mine; but the tender child
Scarce feelcth my finger cold;
And the mothers anguish, deep and wild,
stay my flight to behold.
All places are mine; but most delight
In the noisy field of strife;
IT'S joy to hear the clang of the fight,
And to see the red tide of life
Bubbling in torrents strong and free
From many gaping wound,
And scarce restrain my boastful glee
As trolls on the dusty ground!
blast the oak, and blight the flowers
With pois'nous, whitening breath;
Wisdom and beauty, pride and power
Must fall at the stroke of death.
bring a test of the mortal life,
And the pure shall meet it well,
But pallid guilt shall shrink in the strife,
And cover beneath my spell.

PUDDLE AMONG THE Hoes AND FIsHEs.-
The medina (Ohio) Caicen is responsible
for the following:
We understand that about one hundred
and fifty of the two thousand hogs belong

was burnt a few days since, got on rcgu-
lar ''bender," and succeeded in acting almost
as silly as do their biped neighbors when in
a similar "iix." They partook of the fire.
water as it came flowing into their styes,
and as consequence, got most gloriously
befuddled. Three of the number died in
the ditch. The fish in Oak Orchard Creek
were still more unfortunate. The fatal
liquid mingled with their own pure element
and they drank and died by thousands
Ork Orchard Creek was converted literally
into stream of death.

common expression originated from the an

which he had drank and which was not ex,

THE FOURTH IN PARIs.-A party of
Americans dined together on the 4th of July,
in one of the principal restaurants of the
Palais National. The Republique states, that
band of music was present, which after
several times playing Ia .MarSeillaise, re-
ceived from the police the injunction not to
repeat it. But, says the Republique, the
Republicans of the Union did not ''give itup
so," but in defiance of the police, and after
the prohibition, shouted in loud chorus be-
meath the protection of the American flag
which was spread above them, the animatine

SoUTH CARoLINA.-The Laurensville
Herald says:
"The accounts ofthe drought from various
sources of our district are truly distressing
in many places there will not be as much
corn made as was made in lS45. Such is
the case, too, in the neighhoring districts
except Spartanburg, and we understand
their prospects were never much better
We learn, too, from our exchanges, that The

''Certainly: suppose a physician should
tell his patient that he must walk mile every
day in order to strengthen his limbs, and
that instead of doing it, he gets another per-
son to do it for him: do you think his limbs
would grow strong in consequence of the
other persons walking?"
"No sir. One would be very foolish TO
think so."
s'And the patient would be very foolish
to pursue the supposed course. But not
more so than the student who gets another

eff it is better for one to get his lessons
without help from any one, should think 1t

"John Gale has a Latin book which has
great many notes, and he always gets his

cause when he comes to anything hard, he
has nothing to do, but turn to the notes. He
gets his lesson, and then laughs at the other
BOYS, and tells them to dig away Once in a

not very often"
"He does them good by refusing to lend
