way. My experience in this manure shows, that
the manner it is used and the land upon which
it is applied, will alone determine its value. 1t
is the most active of all manures the large
quantities of ammonia it contains, and its eva
nescent nature renders it necessary that some
thing should be used to fix and retain if posi-
bic the ammonia in the land; and it is conceded
by some that plaster is the best of all known
agents in fixing it-plaster being the sulPhate
Of lime, the sui phuric acid having more affinity
for ammonia, readily combines with and forms a
sulphate Of ammonia, which is less volatile, and
will remain in the land to feed the plant. Guano
should never be applied as top-dressing, owing
to its volatile nature but ploughed in the land

raked in; nor do believe it will improve land

upon which guano was applied, produce most
luxuriant clover. Upon light and sandy land |
believe its effect will not be half so apparent, nor
do I believe it will pay as good per cent; but
upon the close and baked soils, which seem in
winter to be as compact and hard as the winters

A BEAUTIFUL AND AFFECTING ScENE.-As the
steamer Ben. Frankling passed the town Of Ri
sing Sun, Indiana, on Thursday last, on its way to
Louisville, with thesacred remains Of Henry Clay
on board, thrty-one young ladies, representing
the different States of the Union, stood in con.
spicuous view on the wharf, in front Of the crowd
of citizens that had assembled. All, save one,
were, dressed in virgin white, their heads covered
with black veils The one excepted was robed in
deep heavy mourning and represented Kentucky,
and occupied the centre of the line How touch
ingly beautiful the scene, and what pride-sad
pride she must have felt, as in that galaxy Of
beauty, she found herself the representative of
that State whose broad land, from one extreme
to the other, was believed with tears!
The whole scene was rendered more expressive
ly solemn by the dcathly silence that universally
prevailed on board the steamer, and on shore,
as the vessel hoated noiseless bv bearing its pre-
cious charge onward to its lastrepose.-Cin. Com.

GsMs OF THoueHr-Help and give willingly
when you have any thing, and think not the
more Of yourself and if you have nothing, keep
the cup Of cold water always at hand, and think
not the less of yourself.
Avarice in old age says Cicero, is foolish; for
what can be more absurd, than to increase our
provisions for the road, the nearer we approach
to ourjourney's eLd.
If half the pains were taken by some people
to perform the labor allotted them, that are ia
ken by them to avoid it, We should hear much
less said about the troubles of life, and see much
more actually completed. -.
A sensible writer says, that to occupy ones mind
with matter that stands out in open antago'
nism to common sense and all the principles that
guide us in the affairs of life is to tre with the
faculties which the creator has given to us for a
wiser and better purpose

Too Much FOR HUMAN ENDURANcE.---zWe
heard pretty good story, a few days, since,
about good old deacon somewhere outin York
State and was something after this wise: He
was one Of those upright dignifed sort Of men
who make it rule to perform their duty and
then make the best of the matter, however the
event may turn out; but every thing on his farm
was kept in the neatest Of order. 1t had got to
be quite late in the season for moving, and still
the deacon had fine piece of grass, which he
had been unable to cut on account Of the press
of other matters soon one beautiful day he put on
large force, and by noon he had it all done and
spread about in nice order, when there came up
a shower and wet it. After the shower, the old
gentleman came out and walked about perfectly
cool, and the next day he had it again spread to
dry; about noon there came another shower; well
out came the deacon again with long face, and
the dignifed air becoming one'in his station,
looked at the hay and walked into the house
The next day being pleasant, he had the hay
dried, loaded and driven into the barn, into
which they had got, just as another shower, had
begun to fall. The deacon congratulated himself
that he had finally secceeded in securing the hay
when gust of wind struck the barn, gushing
through completely sweeping the hay scattering
it to the four quarters, and tearing the barn doors,
from their hinges, one of which, hitting the old
gentleman, Frustrated him in the mud, and fell
top of him. After the door had been removed,
from him, hesurveyedthe ruins for a few moments
and then exclaimed:-"Well, think it time for
lne to express my sentiments. p Westerly Echo.

POETRY AND PRosE-Poets are noted for
their not-to-be-expected choice Of wives. Lady
Scott, for example, was as prosy and practical IN
her character as Sir Walter was poetical and ro-

Lady Scott stroled forth to enjoy walk around
Abbotsford. In their wandering they crossed a
field where a number Of ewes were enduring the
frolics of their lambs. "Ah," exclaimed Sir Wal

ages, have made the lamb the emblem of peace

TEE LOST CHURCH.
BY JAMES MONTGOMERY.


Here stood church-a house Of God,
An earthly temple built with stones;
Its courts our fathers footsteps trod,
It's graves received our fathers bones;
The hymn of praise, the voice of prayer,
The Gospel trumpet sounded there;
And ransomed spirits, in heavens bliss,
MAY round the throne remember this.
But earthly temples must decay
By slow or swift destruction fall;
And time or tide will wear away
The stateliest tower, the strongest wall:
Here both conspired in one dark hour,
To sap the wall-brng down the tower;
To storm the sanctuary, and to sweep
Its very ruins to the deep!
The river rushed upon the sea-;
The sea the rivers rage repelied;
All the wild winds at once set Free,
War with the warning waters held.
On Ere with foam the surges seem,
While vehemently beat the stream,
And rocked the fabric to and fro,
AS if an earthquake heaved below.
Till as in the dead ofnight. the flash
Oflightning issues from cloud,
Chased by thunder, crash on crash,
Down to the deep the temple bowed;
Bowed, for moment o'er the spot,
Another moment and was not!
Ger the lost church the pillows doomed,
And in its wrecks its tombs entombed
aThus far, no farther shall ye go!"
The river heard that voice and fled:
Spanning the armament, Gods bow,
The sign of wrath retiring spread:
Promise of future glory gave,
Ofresurrection from the grave,
When circling seasons had fulfilled
The term his sovereign counse!s wiiled.
The fullness of that time behold!
Nine generations, in their haste,
Have passed where stood that church OF old,
Yet left the ground a hallowed waste;
Ye who where once they breathed, now breathe
To your posterity bequealh
OF your existence here well spent,
A house Of prayer, as monument.
From granite rocks the pile renew;
From Cambran mines the ores be brought |;
From ancient woods the tmbers hew;
TO body forth creative thought;
And bid the second temple rise
a land and sea mark TO all eyes,
Which shall outshine the first as far
AS harvest moon the morning star.
aThere is a house not made with hands,
Eternal in the Heavens" for them
Who travel singly or in bands,
TO seek the New Jerusalem:
With them may all who worship here,
Age after age in turn repair,
Where that which men call death on earth,
Spirits may deem their better birth.
