Bugle SonS.-BY TENNYSoN.
The splendor falls castle walls,
And snowy SUBMITS old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract shakes in glory
Blow, bugle, blow set the wild echoes flying;
Blow, bugle; answer echoes, dying, dying, dying
o bark, o hear how thin and clear,
And thinner, clearer, further going
o sweet and far, from cliff and scar
The horns of Elfand family blowing!
Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying;
Blow, bugle; answer echoes, dying, dying, dying.
0 love, they die in yon rich sky,
They faint on hill, on field. on river;
Our echoes roll from soul to soul,
And grow forever and forever
Blow, bugle, blow; set the wild echoes flying;
And answer echoes, answer dying, dying, dying.

in order to learn their true value The agricuturist
should have correct idea of the necessity of help
ing the land which is to help him. Among the mil
lions of farmers in this extended republic how many
are willing to help the land as much as the land
helps them? We fear not one in thousand. Nine
plantations in ten lack lime; while not one planter
in ten supplies the lacking mineral. On many plan

in supplying caleareous matter; and we commend

Threatened Revolution In Mexico.

Telegraphic reports have intimated that evidences
of project for revolutionzing Mexico are now on
fjot. That something unusual is going on in Mexi-
co, we do not doubt. Our Poris correspondent an
the purchase, by Mexican officers, of large
number of muskets in of the towns of France,
and we know of several movements by Mexican cti-
in this city, which confirm our suspicious that
enterprise of one kind or another is on foot -
Within the last three months, an unusually large
number of Mexican gentlemen have visited the
North, and have been engaged in making contracts
OF various descriptions. Some of these have been
represented connected merely with peaceful mea-
sures but it is impossible to say to what uses such
merely commercial enterprises eventually may be
directed Every breeze from Mexico brings ruinors
of various kinds, which may end in something more
than smoke
1t cannot be concealed that the acquisition of the
mining region Of Mexico is favorte theme
with many persons in the Southern and Western
StateS-that MANY Mexicans are in favor of coming
within the jurisdiction of the United States and that
population in California desire to extend their
golden pursuits into those regions which have been
specifically explored and which may yet yield
large metallic treasures. On the whole, viewing the
state of Mexico and all the interests which are
centrating together to bring it under the regimen

red to anticipate revolution Of some kind. 1t may
he bloody one, or it may he moral and CONNER

Deep Flowing.

The farmers of Ohio, as we learn from the Guilt
vator, are waking up the subject of Deep Plow-
ing. Numerous premiums offered for implements
that will turn burrows from nine to twelve inches in
thickness and many break the subsoil six inches
deeper by running the subsoil pillow Immediately af
ter the surface pillow. Experiments have demonstrate
ed the utility of stirring the earth to the depth of
inches; and JUDI ng from the energy of American
character expect to see deep tillage become pop
ular and generally successful. The Legislature of
Ohio has done much to promote improvements in
agriculture, by appropriating s9.25O year for the
support of efficient Agricultural Society in every
county in the State. Its Board of Agriculture acts
as working head and the whole machinery is get
ting into active operation.
The mechanical part of farming needs reform
quite as much the theoretical but while many
striving to got to the root of the matter in plow
ing, should be taken not to extract from the
soil vastly of the elements of fertility than is
replaced therein. Our Buckeye friends may dig and
scratch and skin their land in way that will rem
der deep blowing curse instead of blessing Sup
pose all the raw material for making corn and
wheat oats and potatoes be removed from the
face of the earth to the depth of two feet; what
then This raw material forms about one part in
thousand in the soil, regarding potash and phos-
phate of lime as the test ingredients Can skinning
mother earth Is inches deep be better for her
than if the operation performed to the depth of
six inches onlye If good deal of the elements of
crops consumed and wasted less must remain.
Having stated the case fairly, so that all may see
that something more than deep tillage is needed,
we still contend that no one can give good reason
for blowing four inches deep, that will not apply
with equal force in favor of blowing eight inches
Ground broken eight inches is less liable to wash
than it is when plowed only four inches. Men of
experience will confirm the truth of this remark in
all the States and all must admit that the elements
of crops vaueess except to form the products of
rural industry. The grand defect in American ag-
riculture, now conducted, is, not so much in the
mechanical part of the business in the neglect to
husband the things that really make human food
and raiment. In the popular understanding, bag
of cotton weighing 400 pounds is nothing before the
plants grow that yield the cotton 100 bushels Of
corn in the crib can be seen and comprehended by
all but the ingredients consumed to form the grain
which existed in the SOIL very few stop to consider

A Compost for Corn.

10 bushels of ashes,
bushels of bone dust,
l bushel of salt,
Is pounds of sulphate of magnesia and

few weeks prove to be efficient manure for an acre
in corn, any other grain root crop, would 400
pounds of guano, or 20 loads of stable manure Re-
sort then to your shores, your marshes, and your
woods for the raw material to be manufactured into
manure. If you have no ashes, and cannot conven-
ently get any, but have mari substitute the ashes by
100 bushels of marl provided your land needs lin
ing. If you think there is lime enough in your SOIL
substitute or E loads of barn-yard stable ma
nure for the ashes
If your land is sandy, and clay convenient an ad-
dition of from to 10 loads of that earth to the
bove quantities will greatly add to the value of the
compost
To be taxed with the regular profit nay, with
three four fair profits an article, and to have
to stand shave of 240 lbs on each ton of guano be-
sides, is enough to you the most energetic
resistance against such imposition. The most eec-
tual resistance you can offer is to work zeaousy,
collect your domestic resources convert them into
manure, and place yourselves in position that will
render you Independent of extortioners.

A deep and mighty shadow
Across my heart is thrown,
Like cloud in a summer meadow,
Where the thunder wind hath blown?
The wild rose Fancy dieth,
And the sweet bird Memory fieth,
And leayetE me alone.
Alone with my hopeless sorrow;
No other mate knowi
strive to awake tomorrow,
But the dull words will not flow
pray, but my prayers are driven
Aside by the angry Heaven,
And weigh me down with woe!
I call on the past to lend me
It's songs to soothe my pain;
bid the dim future send me
A light from its eyes-in vain!
Naught comes but shrill cry starteth
From hope as she fast departeth-
