PERSEYERE,

Has fate around thy pathway shed
Few blessings which can joy impart
Has sorrow deep thy mind o'erspread,
And grief weighed heavy on thy heart?
Let not the weight thy spirit check,
Nor with thy prospects interfere,
Thy plans of life will seldom wreck,
If thou wilt ever perscvere.
If friends in adverse hours should fail,
To greet the with the welcome true
Let it not cause thy heart to quail,
But try again" for friendship new!
And when dark hours shall hover round
- To rob thee of thy wonted cheer,
Yield not the mind to grief profound,
But raise thy hopes and pcrseyere!
When clouds of dense and deep afliction,
Shall cast their shadows DER thy frame,
Then seize on hope with strong affection,
And make Excelsior thy aim!
No cloud too CRATE to cause thesun
Forever from us disappear,
:, No care too great for thee to shun, y
: If thou wilt ever perseverc

Fences without Rails.

Three years ago last September, when
commenced farming, L built SIXTY rods
of wire fence. En- thefrst place built
a dyke by blowing andscrsping twice on
each side of the intended line of fence,
making a ditch about one foot or four
teen inches above the natural surface.
then set posts eight feet apart, three
feet in the ground, four feet above; put
on four wires of No. 8, and at the top a
board 8 l-2 inches wide. The wires
were fastened at each end of the sixty
rods to large wrought spike, and at
tached to the other posts by wedge
shap iron pins made of common nail-rods,
with hole through the head, through
which the wires were drawn. When the
wires were strained, the pins were driven
into the posts sufficiently to bind the
wires and prevent slipping.
When this fence was completed, | was
about as sick person as you often find.
1t looked like the shadow of nothing, but
it has stood the test three years and a
half, and not had ten minutes repairs.
The most breachy animals fail to make
any impression on it. I never have
known anything to get through it except
hogs, and it is hard work for them-they
have to root away the dyke, and crawl
under. intend to make more the COM
ing season, and shall put board one
foot wide at the bottom, and the rest
wire, and that will stop anything COM
monty kept in an enclosure.
Now as to the expense. The dyke
was two days work of three persons and
one yoke of oxen, So; posts l20 pieces
cost SO; setting 2 days, work $3.50;
wire, Sl4; top board, So; putting on
wire and boards, 2 days, $2;-making
the entire cost, S37,60.
This brings the expense at something
over fifty cents rod, but the actual ex-
pense to me was much less. had some
boy help, and the prices in this estimate
of work are higher than paid. The
scraper used in making the dyke was
made of l-2 inch stuff about six feet
long, two feet wide, and edged with an
old mill saw it would scrape very rapid,
ly, and do it's work better than an Irish.
man with shovel. The actual expenses
of such a fence need not exceed 10 to 45
cents per rod.
This fence, with the wires we'll painted
will last longer than any other fence
usually built on q farm, require less re-
pairs, and is, think alittle safer, or more
SO.

How TO Grow MAGNIFICENT: PEACH.
Es.-Mr. J. C. Thorwell, of Metuchin,
New York, presented us basket of the
finest and largest Crawford Melacatoon
Peaches we have seen this year. His
method of growing them is very simple,
and may be easily followed by others
His soil is graveIly and stony, and for the
peach orchard, he chose the highest part
Of his farm. Before setting out the trees,
he plowed deep, say 10 to II inches, and
top dressed heavily with lime, then cult
vated in the usual manner. He thinks
deep plowing is the great secret, and says
it would have been still more beneficial to
have SUBSIDIZED his orchard ground. Farm
ers, please remember this. Large peach
es bring three to four times as much in
this market as small ones. Picked Nor
ris whites brought as high as ten dollars
per basket, this season. These are pre-
served by the purchaser, who will sell
them for 25 cents each the coming winter.
Peach growers, think of this.-The Plow.

Be KIND TO THE UNFORTUNATE.

BY P. H. BREWSTER.
In the dark dungeon, desolate,
With clouded heart and brow,
Full many poor unfortunate,
Is sadly weeping now!
They hear no soft and tender tone,
To drive one care away;
No kindred there-they weep alone,
Alone they kneel and pray!
Oh! cheer them in their state forlorn,
By kindness, magic power;
Oh, pity them, for oft they mourn,
Away the midnight hour!
Perhaps few long years ago,
By mothers they were blest,
Who sought aud soothed each bitter wo,
That panied the anxious breast.
But now no mother pities them,
No soothing voice they hear
Misfortune blights full many agcm,
Full many promise dear;
Then seek the dungeons fearful gloom,
And cheer the prisoner there,
Go cheer him to the lonely tomb, 4
BY word and ardent prayer!
Be kind to the unfortunate,
2 Who groan beneath the load
Whichpoverty and toll create,
Along life's dseary road!
give to them thy friendly aid,
BY cheeful word and decd;
Thy kindness will be well repaid
.;Oh give to tenn that need!
BE kind to the unfortunate =
Ina poor world like this,
We all should share each others fate,
For life hath little bliss q!
The helpless, hungry, let US feed,
And cheer the broken heart;
Our Maker will repay each deed,
Each balm that we impart!

SrRAwBERR1Es.- secret OF grow
ing Strawberries six months in the year,
continuously, has been discovered and
practiced by Charles F. Peabody OF
Columbus, Georgia, one of the editors OF
the Soil of the South for several years,
not as theory, mere experiment, nor
accidental production, but as a science,
study of time successfully carried out
for profit; for he sends his market wagon
into the city, loaded with luxury, from
March till September, and last year his
vines continued to ripen fruit until Christ
| mas.
What is the secret our fair readers
exclaim. What new variety9 No other
than Hoyey's seeding, impregnated by
early scarlet and never manured but kept
continually moist by artificial watering {;
for which purpose he uses a graden
engine.
For four years, Mr.. P. cultivated the
same variety in rich garden mould,
manuring literally every year, and at any
time during summer could have moved a
heavy swathe of green luxuriant vines,
which have made very good hay-but
that was not what he wished to grow.
Failing to get fruit by garden culture, he
commenced the experiment which for six
years has proved so eminently successful.
He cleared off strip Of low land along
little rivulet, the soil of which is coarse
sand loose gravel, intermixed with clay
lightly, and Of course, covered with for
est mould, digging out the roots of a
thick growth Of bushes sufficiently pre-
pared the land. The vines were then set
in rows, six of Hovey and one of scarlet,
and the surface has never been disturbed
since, by spade or hoe, except so far as
going over the ground once or twice a
year to cut here and there decaying
vine or bunch of grass or weeds, few OF
which however, in consequence of using
no manure, ever made their appearance,
neither do the plants run to vines, spread
ing all over the surface every year as they
did in the garden. The whole strength
seems to be exerted for the production Of
large rich berries to such degree that
the ground is red with fruit-not green
with leaves; and this not upon a little
plat but over field of five acres.
And does he never manure them ? is
undoubtedly asked by every tyro in the
Business of growing strawberry vines.
MI. P. grows roots, steams and fruit. /
repeat he never manures, never digs the
ground nor turns under the old roots to
give place to new ones. In autumn, he
gives a light dressing of the surface soil
Of the forest, and covers the ground with
leaves these remain until decayed, and
served to keep the berries clean during
The long bearing season. This, and the
watering every hot day when itdoes not
rain, is the grcat.secret ofgrowing straw
berries, not only six months but last year
he actually had them upon his table every
month but two-January and February.
Of course, at the North, the bearing
season could not be of equal duration,
but it may be greatly extended by the
slme course of cultivation.-Scott's
