A Just Aaa-A Just man is always simple.
He is man Of direct aims and purposes. There
is no perpeXity in his motives, and thence, there
is no Earring or DISCREPANCY in his character
He wishes to do right, and in most cases he does
it; he may err, but it is by mistake of Judge
ment, and not by perversity or intention. The
moment his judgement is enlightened, his ac-
ton is corrected. Setting before himself always
a clear and worthy end he will never pursue it
by any concealed or unworthy means, We may
carry our remarks for illustration, both into pr-
vate and public life. Observe such man in
his home: there is a charm about him, which no
artificial grace has ever had the power to bestow;
there is a sweetness, had almost said music
in his manners, which no sentimental refine
ment has ever given.
His speech, ever fresh from purity and recti-
tude of thought, controls all that are within its
hearing, with an unfelt, and yet resistles sway
Faithful to every domestic, as to his religion and
his God, he would no more prove recreant to
any loyalty of home, than he would blaspheme
the Maker in whom he believes, or that he would
forswear the heaven in which he hopes. Fidel
ity and truth, to those bound by love and nature
to his heart, are to him most sacred principles;
they are in the last recesses of his moral being
they are imbedded in the life of his life; and to
NlOldte IuGlll, Of even lullh VI Ili6u
would seem to him as a spiritual determination
the suicide of his soul.
Nor is such man unrewarded, for the good
ness that he so largely gives, is largely paid
back to him again; and though the current of
his life is transparent, it is not shallow; on the
contrary, it is deep and strong. The river that
fills its channel glides smoothly along in the
power of its course it is the stream which scarce
ly covers the rappednesS of its bed, that is tur-
bulent and noisy. With all this gentleness there
is exceeding force; with all this meekness, there
is imperative command; but the force is the force
of wisdom; and the command is the command
of love. And yet, the authority which rules so
effectually, never gathers an angry or an irrita-
BILE cloud over the brow of the ruler; and this
sway which admits of no resistance, does not
repress one honest impulse of nature, one mo-
ment of the souls high freedom, one bound Of
Joy from the hearts unbidden gladness, in the
spirits of the governed.-GiJes.

Editing a Paper.-The veteran editor of the
National Intelligencer says:
Many people estimate the ability of newspa-
per, and the industry and talent of its editor, by
the amount of editorial matter it contains. 1t
is comparatively an easy task for frothy writer
to pour out daily columns of words-wOrds up
on any and all subjects His ideas may flow
on in one wishey washey everlasting food and
his command of language may enable him to
string them together like bunch of onions;
and yet his paper may be meager and poor
concern. But what is the toll of such a man,
who displays his loaded matter largely, to that
imposed on iudicious, well informed editor who
exercises his responsibilities and duties, and de-
votes himself to the conduct of his paper with
the same care and assiduity that a sensible law
yer bestows upon suit, humane physician
upon patient without regard to show or dis
play.
Indeed, the mere writing part of editing pa
per, is but small portion of the work. The
care, the time employed in selecting, is far more
important, and the tact of good editor is bet
ter known by his selection than anything else,
and that we all know is half the battle. But as
we have said, and editor ought to be estimated,
and his labors understood and appreciated by
the general conduct of his paper, its tone, its
temper its uniform consistent course, its princi-
pies and aims, its manliness, its dignity and
propriety. To preserve these as they should be
preserved, is enough to occupy fully the time
and attention of every man. If to this be ad-
ded the general supervision of the newspaper
establishment which most editors have to en-
counter, the wonder is how they write ia all.

Help One 4nother.-It is the law of Providence
for the allotment of mankind to be various. The
general wisdom of this arrangement is apparent in
fbe adopton of all classes and in the ability of the
Gospel to give contentment in ife II is the duty of
all to render to each other that assistance which God
may put in our power grant In the language of Sir
Waiter Scott,the race of mankind would perish did
they cease to aid each other From the time that the
mother binds the chlds head, till the moment that
kind assistant wipes the death damp from the brow
of the dyingwe cannot exist without mutual help

Hov to raise Sir Tons Of Hay per acre.-lt
was stated some time since, at meeting, at the
State House, in Boston, that in Massachusetts,
they had raised tons Of hay to the acre. The

how it was done, the following response was
given, by the New England Farmer.

sixteen inches deep, spread on twenty-five loads
of good and well-composted manure; pillow that

quarts of herds grass, one bushel of red top and
six pounds of clover seed to the acre, and with
heavens blessing upon it, if you don't get six
tons to the acre in two cuttings, why then you
won't get as much as we believe Mr.. Clapp, of
Greenfield did, to whose statement you refer, and
which we heard and reported in these columns

'In Congress, June IA, l777- Resolred, That
the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternately red and white; that the
Union be thirteen stars, white, in blue field,

AS new States were added to the Union, from
time to time, new stripes were added to the flag,
till the number had increased to fifteen Or TWEEN

were reduced by act of Congress, to the original
number of thirteen.

Plaster o" Wheat IN tie FaH-Many farm
ers in New York, SOW plaster on their wheat in
the fall. One of them, in Niagara county gives
the following reasons:-Wheat, when plastered
IN the fall, contains more root and is thus ena-
bled to stand the frost better; it has the assis.
lance OF the plaster at season of the year
when it is almost impossible to go over the fields,
and when it is most needed-namely, the very
earl spring; it gets its growth and ripens in good
time; whereas, when applied in the spring, the
wheat continues to grow late, sometimes to the
injury of the crop-a superabundanee Of straw,
falling down, rust, &C., oftentimes being the con
sequence.

AGRICULTURAL.
From the American Farmer.

FROM the American Farmer.
VALUE OF CLOVER TO THE GROWTH OF WHEAT
&c.-As an opinion has been recently put forth.
in late Agricultural Address, adverse to the
benefits derivable from clover, as an improver of
the soil we shall copy from our Thoughts on
the Culture of Wheat" as published in Vol. vii,
July, 1851, page Z, for the benefit of our numer-
Gus new subscribers, as well as the old Ones
BY the extract which follows, &he Importance of
clover, generally, as a Moderator of the soil,
and especially as being adapted to the culture of
wheat, will be made too manifest, to need any
additional comments from us.
I'VE shall therefore, now present the views Of
DR.. Daniel Lee, upon the subject which comes
directly home ITO the bosoms and business of us
al:' Its an extract from paper from his
able pen, which originally appeared in his jour
nal, 1.-The Genessee Farmer, on p. Sc, vol. Z,
and was repubished in the May number, for
1851. 1t is an extract from one of series Ct
able articles con the culture of wheat showing
from his own chemical researches, the intimate
relation that subsists between clover and this
important cereal"
We give this on two accounts-frst because
it contains most important facts and informa-
tion,-and, secondly because DR.. Lee is one of
the most accurate analytical chemists in the
country He says:
"There are7 I It's ofashiu 100 lbs. f dry cIc-
yer. If this crop be taken from field for
number of years without making restitution, it
will be found quite exhausting, notwithstand-
ing the power of clover to draw its organic
nourishment from the atmosphere. An acre Of
stout clover when perfectly dry, has been known
toweigh 1894 lbs containing 284lbsof ash. This
is some so lbs. more than is removed from an
acre in a fair crop of wheat 1t is useful to
study the mineral eements'of this plant in con-
nection with those of wheat. In 284 lbs of the
ash of clover tbpra aro of

20 4" of Sulphuric acid, and

But it will be perceived, that he has omitted
in his tabular statement most important sub
stance, to wit, Lime, which we have shown, up
on the reliable authority of DR.. Lee amounts to
Is lbs. in an acre Of wheat the which omission,
in the formula given below, we shall attempt to
supply It may be said, that in Mr.. Prideaux's
formula, he provides the lime, in the bone-dust.
True, there is lime in bone-dust, but as in mat
ters ofmanuring, nothing should be hazarded to
the slow process of decomposition, which can
only be carried on actively under favorable
condition of the season, and as we are DESTROYS
of simplifying our recipe, we viii prescribe the
following for dressing for an acre of land to
be put in wheat, as afording the inorganic food
required by the plants:
II bushels of unslacked hardwood ashes,

2 bushels of salt-(that of the packers as
good as any,
bushels of bone-dust, to be dissolved in
Sulphuric acid, and
a bushel of plaster.
In the II bushels of ashes there would be
found some three bushels of lime, in state
equally as well adapted to all the purposes of
vegetable wants, as would be any other kind Of
lime, whether burned from shells or limestone,
saying the one or two per cent of phosphate,
which are found in shell lime, and that would
be found in ample quantity in the bone-dust,
besides the quantity existing in the ashes.

From South ADaerica.-The Panama papers
by the Falcon brings us some items of later in
teligence from the west coast of South America:
CHILI.-Gen. Flores had arrived at Valparai-
so, and taken up his residence in that CITY. We
understand he was received with much bospi
tality.
We are told that after Flores was refused per
mission to land at Callao, the agents of the
steamer finding him completely out of money
and unable to pay his way to Valparaiso decii-
ned giving the General a free passage: and the
passengers on board the Quito were Obliged to
raise sufficient, by SUBSCRIPTION, to purchase
ticket for him; rather hard story that of Brit
ish liberaity. We scarcely thought the compa-
ny would have charged such man as Flores
for passage, even if he had plenty of means to
pay for it.
The news from the mining districts are high
ly flattering. The expectation of silver from
Copiapo during the month of July, had ascen-
ded to $4,000 marks, and during the first six
months Of the year to l60,647 marks; total for
seven months 2O4,346 marks, not including
about 100000 marks of silver ore.
Several miners in COpiapo have collected spe-
cimens Of some of the richest ores, to be presen-
ted as a mark of esteem to Rear Admiral Fair
fax MoreSby, which will be presented to him in
Tie IHOnIH OF OclODef as q token OF respect,
and in gratitude for the services he has render
ed to the mining interest during the late cricis.
Thirty-one thousand dollars of the silver re-
ceived by the Quito are for England, in pay
ment of the Anglo-Chilian debt.
1t was proposed to commence the opening of
the railroad from Valparaiso to Santiago in Oc-
tober next.
PERU.-The question of the Islas de Lobus
tba IF of tba 1oI mi
ru, and measures have been passed in Congress
to defend the property of the Republic against
any foreign aggression. 1t has been resolved
that three steamers of war should be brought
and placed under the command of Gen. Deus
tun, to defend their interests.
They had the war steamer Remac and anoth-
er vessel of war stationed there. No vessels
were loading there at the time the steamer b.
gotta touched at the islands.
