to that produced by fire. From this point it spread over
the whole face, which became So swollen, that tor several
days she was blind. She has been in this situation three
times IN the last five years. Its effects sometimes appeared
in small cracks in the skin, commencing back of the ears
and thence extending over the sides Of the head. so sore
and painful were they that at night it was lmposslble t"r
her To allow them Ia touch the pillow. The discharge from
these sores was 81 pr0tlse, that it frequently wet through
the dressings. and run down the sides ufthe neck and SO
acrid was it, that when it came in contact with the SKIN,
the effect was the same as that Of boiling water. She had
a running sore on her stomach and breast, which had been

Fixed Facts in Agriculture.
These may be considered as fixed facts

These may be considered as hxed lacts III
agriculture .....
|. All lands on which clover, or grasses
are grown, must either have lime in them
naturally, or that mineral must be artificial
Ily supplied. 1t matters but little, whether
it be supplied in the form of stOne.lMe Oys-
ter sAeli-lim or, mari.
2. All permanent Improvement of land
must look to lime as its basis.
3. No land can be preserved in high
state of fertility, unless clover and the grass
es are cultivated in the course of rotation.
4. MoulH is indispensable in every soil,
and healthy supply can only be preserved
by the cultivation of clover and the grasses,
the turning in of green crops or by applica-
ton of coDposts rich in the clements of
mould.
5. All highly concentrated animal ma
unres are increased in value, and their ben
efts prolonged by mixture with plaster, salt,
or pulverized charcoal.
6. All grain crops should be harvested 7
or 10 day. before the grain is thoroughly
ripe.
Z. Clouer as well as the grasses intended
fer hay should be moved when in bloom.
g. Draining of wet lands, and marshes,
adds to their value, by making them produce
more, anu better crops-by producing them
earlier,-and by improving the health Of
neighborhoo-s ......
8. A bushel of plaster, per acre, sowr
broadcast over clover will add one hundred
per cent to its produce.
10, Periodical applications of ashes, tend
to keep up the integrity of soils, by supply
ing most, if not all, Of the inorganic subst1n-
ccs.
II. Young stock should be moderately
fed with grain, in winter, and receive gen
ercus supplies of long prov2nder it being as.

A Good One.

Ludicrous blunders will occasionally &C.
cur in cases where ignorant persons attempt
the use of language about which they know
nothing. The following is a case in pelnt;-
Not long since while travelling from Puts
burgh TO Cincinnati, two rather verdant
specimens of the female sex came on board
the boat at one of the landings, who, for
the sake of distinction, we will call Mary and
Jane. Now Mary had cut her eye teeth.
or, in other words, was acquainted with the
rules and regulations which govern gcntecl
society. Jane the younger, had never mix
ed to any great extent, and was therefore IN
bliSsful ignorance as to any of the rules
which govern more refined persons. Her
language, too, Y as only such as she heard
among her rustic associates. Mary was
aware of this fact, and had therefore eau
toned her to observe how she Nary acted,
and to govern herself accordingly. Jane
promised implicit obedience. Shortly after,
while seated at the dinner table, the waiter
asked Mary what part of the fowl She would
have. SSShe informed him, that it wa, "per-
fectly immaterial." He accordingly gave
her a piece, and then inquired of Jane what
part she would choose. The simple mind
ed glrl replied, with all the self assurance
81 believe I'll take piece of the iD'ma-
tsriat too" "The scene that followed this
declaration is beyond our pen to dscribe,
The assembled company were compelled to
give vent to their surcharged feelings in
peals of boisterous laughter, whilst the poor
girl, her face sufused with crimsoned blush
cs, left the table, declaring as she filed tc
the ladies' cabin, they won't ketch me
aboard of one of these pesty steamboats,

The Sabbath.

ITS INFLUENCE ON PRODUCTIVE LABOR.
l. BY afording needed weekly rest, in
furious exhaustion is prevented, and the re-
treshed md invlgorated laborer can renew
his work to accomplish more than he could
have done without such a day of rest.
g. The honored Sabbath influences are
hostile to those vicious indulgences which
waste the strength oflaboring men and di-
minish their power of endurance in their
work, p. .... ..r.
8, The Sabbath most powerfully enforces
all the principles of temperance and sobrety,
and encourages all these virtues which ami
mate the minds cheerfulness and elasticity,
invigorate and strengthen the body.
A. The well kept Sabbath produces that
of the concieace and strength of
moral principle which secures faithfulness
in laboring men, and therefore gives greater
value to their labor.
s. Sabbath influences produce public
sentiment which makes idleness shameful
and odius; and by diminishing its amount
augments the quantity of productive labor.
6. One of the ablest medical gentlemen
thus writes, Il have firm belief that Sab
bath keeping people are able to do more
work, and do it in better manner in six
days, than if they worked the whole seven.
The breathing of the pure and sublime at,
mosphere Of religious Sabbath, refreshes
and inv!gorates the Spirit 1t forms an epoch
in our existance from which We receive q
new impulse, and thus constitutes the bes
preparation for the laborers of the following
week" r ~ N
7, Nothing can be clearer therefore, thar
that it is for the interest of all who employ
the labor Of others. to use their best inhu
ence to cause all employed by them to re-
member the Sabbath day, to keep it Holy
