Productiveness in Agriculture.

How DIMINIsHED--A CONSEQUENCE or
THE SEPARATION OF THE PLoUGH AND THE
LooM.-For five years past, the object OF
our whole system has been that Of clos
ing the mills, mines, and furnaces. and
during the whole increase of population
into the production of food and cotton,
under the mistaken idea that we could
find abroad market for food capable of
indefinite extension; and yet the fore
ign market now absorbs less food than il
did five years since. Nevertheless, the
prices of some commodities have been
higher than they were before, a conse-
quence of greatly diminished production.
We now produce less wool than we did
in 1916, and we have less pork and beef
To sell and the quantity diminishses from
year to year, as will be seen 10y the fol-
lowing statement of the quantities pass
ing over the New York canals:

What are the prospects for pork in
the next year may be seen from the fol-
lowing statement:-
"Ihe correspondents Of the Price
Current wriIe: in Terre lIaute the cut
ting season is closed, and the crop there
will be, 5000 short in weight, and 10000
in aumber; $3.50 paid lor small lots --
Letters from Cincinnati affirm that the
packing in the West will fall $50 OOo
short of last season, and that The gain in
weight is all mistake, not more than
one-hilh of an excess in this respect be-
ing now calculated upon. St. Louis,
Dec. 3l.-The crop of hogs in all this re-
glon leiH probably JdH short Of last year
one-third IN 'ceight, consequently more
than IN number. On the Mississippi RI
yer the crop will be about one-haif in
number, and on the Illinois one-third in
number
Throughout the world, and in all ages
agriculture has become more productive
aud the landowner has become rich. as
the spindle, the loom, and the hammer
came to take their natural places by the
side OF the plough and the harrow, as
was here the case under the tariff OF
1872 ; aud throughout the world, and in
all ages agriculture has become less
productive, and the landowner has be-
come impoverished, as the loom and the
plough became separated, as is here he.

President FiNnore.-"We learn" says the
Baltimore American, "that, as an appropriate
mark of respect for the President of the Uni
ted States a number of gentlemen, Senators
members of Congress, Judges of the Supreme
Courts, and citizens of both political parties,
have employed Mr.. d. STONE to execute bust,
in pure Italian marble, of Mr.. FILLMORE, with
the design Of having it placed permanently in
the Presidential Mansion, as an appropriate tes-
greatly adorned and digni6ed his high position
1t is to be regretted that likenesses of all the
Presidents have not been preserved in the same
manner"

The PRAYER of Patriotism,

The following glorious prayer, with which
Daniel Webster closed one of the noblest
speeches ever written by man, was fully reali-
zed by the great statesman. We can imagine
his soul in the hour of death recurring to this
grand invocation:
"When my eyes shall be turned to behold, for
the last time, the sun in Heaven, may not see
him shining on the broken and dishonest frag-
ments Of once glorious Union-on States dis
severed, discordant, beligerent!-on land
rent with civil feuds Or drenched it may be, in
fraternal blood Let their last feeble and lin
gering glance rather behold the gorgeous en-
sign of the Republic, now known and honored
throughout the earth, still full high advanced,
its arms and trophies streaming in all their ori-
ginal ustre, not stripe erased nor polluted,
not single star obscured, bearing for its motto
everywhere, spread all over in characters of liv-
ing light, blazing in all its ample folds, as they
float over the sea and over the land, and in
every wind under the whole heavens, that sem
timent dear to every American heart-'Liber-
ty and Union, now and forever, one and inse-
parable"

DEVELOPMENT of the Lungs.

Much has been said upon diet, eating and
drnding, but do not (says DR.. Fitch) recol.
lect ever noticing remark in any writer upon
bteathing, or the manner of breathing. Mu-
titudes, and especially ladies' in easy crcum-
stances, contract destructive mode of breath
ing. They suppress their breathing, and con-
tract the habit of short, quick breathing, not
carrying half way down the chest, and scarcely
expanding the lower portion Of the chest at all
Lacing the bottom of the chest also greatly in
creases the evil, and confirms bad habit of
breathing. Children that move about good
deal in the open air, aud in no way laced, will
breathe deep and full to the chest, and every
part of it. So also with most outdoor labor
ers, and persons who take great deal of ex
ertion in the open air, because the lungs give
US the power of action, and the more exercise
we take, especially out of doors, the larger the
lungs become, and the less liable to disease
In all occupations that require standing, keep
the body straight. If at table, let it be high
and raised up, nearly to the armpits, SO as not
to require you to stoop, you will find the en-
pioyment much easier, not one-half so fatlgu-
ing; whilst the form of the chest, and the SYM
metry of the figure, will remain perfect. You
have noticed the fact, that vast number of
tall ladies stoop, while great many short ones
are straight. This arises, think, from the ta-
BILE at which they sit to work or study, being
medium height; far too low for tall person,
and about right for short person. This
should he carefully corrected and regarded, so
that each lady may occupy herself at table
suited to her, and thus prevent the possibility
or the necessity Of STOPPING.

MIR Webster's Coffin and Corpse,

A correspondent of the New York Times
writing from Marshfield, under date of the 26tI
ult., says:
The remains of Mr. Webster have been plac
ed in one of Fisks metallic burial cases, which,
is covered with black velvet and ornamen1ei-
not profusely, however, with silver plated
mountings and handles. The inside is lined
with white satin, laid in small plaits. A plain
though massive silver plate upon the lid, con,
tains the simple inscription, Daniel Webster"
In his last hours Mr.. Webster gave instruc.
| tons for the manufacture of four plain gold
rings, to be presented to the following named
persons, who had served him faithfully for many
years, viz Sarah Smith, (he nursc,) Monisa
MacCarty, (his aged cook,) Ann Bean and VIM.
Johnson, domestos. Hc ordered the initials of
his own name and that of each of the benef-
ciaries, together with the date, to be engraved
on these tokens of regard.
Mr. John Taylor and wife, from the farm at
Franklin, N. H., reached Marsh6eld last eve
ming; and Chas Brown, the faithful and favor
ed colored man servant Of Mr. Webster for
more than thirty years, has Been telegraphed to
be present at the funeral.
The corpse is arrayed in such habments as
his compeers of the Senate have often seen him
in, when on bright summer morning he
sought the Senate hall, to pour the words of
wisdom and the light of truth upon some topic
Of surprising public interest. A blue coat,
with plain gilt buttons vest and pants of spot
less white are substituted for the shroud A
white neckcloth encircies the throat, over which
is turned the shirt collar. The feet are enca-
sed in slken hose and shoes Of patent leather.
The hair of the deceased is parted and dispo-
sed as in life; and his white -gloyed hands are
crossed upon his breast. The lips are slightly
parted, just as when about to speak.
1t is designed strictly to regard the dying
wish of Mr. Webster is respect to his funeral.
1t will be simple and unostentatious. No mill
tary will escort him to the tomb; and his only
drge will be chaunted by the sea, whose not
distant roaring now breaks the stiffness of the
evening air.

Some writer who has seen enough of men
and things to form just conclusions, gives
those who are engaged in "trade" and "traffic'
the following "nudge." If any are so incre-
duIour as to doubt its truthfulness, let them
glance at our advertising columns, and then
look at the prosperity of our merchants:
ut does not answer to dabble lightly in the
matter. A man may as well expect to wash
his hands by dipping fingers tip in the wa
ter, as to give his business sensible, clean
lift, by little advertising. The true way and
the profitable one is to pay for liberal adverti-
sing, and then use it. Keep the mill-wheel
turning all the time, and people will certainly
send you their grist after while. Depend up
on it, half the men who burst up,' might avoid
the painful and disastrous event by resofting
to the printers instead Of the shaver's aid, to
hold them up. Half the sum paid for shaving
and other folies, would make the foolish men
who pay for those Injuries, rich and comforta-
bic. Try it and see.'

Death Of English Kings.

| William the Conqueror died from enormous
fat, from drink, and from the violence of his
passions.
William Rufus died the death of the poo,
stags that he hunted.
Henry the First died of guttony, having eat.
en- too much of a dish of lampreys.
Stephen died in a few days, of what was call.
ed lilac passion, which we suppose may be a
royal word for prussic acid or something like
it.
Henry the Second died of broken heart, oc-
casioned by the bad conduct of his children. A
broken heart is very odd complaint for mon.
archs to die Of Perhaps "rat's bane in his por.
ridge" meant the same thing as broken heart
Richard Ceur de Lion died like the animal
from which his heart was named by an arrow
from an archer.
John died nobody knows how; but it is said
of chagrin, which, we suppose, is another term
for dose of hellebore
Henry the Third is said to have died anatu-
raj death" which, with kings in palaces, means
the unnatural death by which mortal can shut
file off his "mortal coil"
Edward the First is likewise said to have
died of "natural sickness" sickness which
would puzzle all the college of physicians to
denominate.
Edward the Second was most barbarously,
indecently murdered by ruffians, employed by
his own mother and her paramour.
Edward the Third died of dotage, and Rich
ard the Second of starvation, the very reverse
of George the Fourth.
Henry the Fourth is said to have died "of
fits caused by uneasiness," and uneasDess in
palaces at those times was very common COM
plant.
Henry the Fifth is said to have died "of a
painful affliction, premiturely." This is court
ly phrase for getting rid of king.
Henry the Sixth died in prison by means
known then only to his his jaiIor, and known
now OILY by Heaven.
Edward the Fifth was strangled in the tow
er by his uncle Richard the Third, whom Hume
declares to have possessed every quality for
government.

To Preuea Lamps from Smoking-Haying
tried the following remedy to prevent lamps
from smoking, in printing office, several years,
we commend it to the attention of our friends.
The fumes arising from oil are highly perni-
cious, particularly to asthmatie individuals, or
those who are troubled with any complaint of
the respiratory organs. This may be prevent
ed by taking new wicks, and sleeping them for
quarter Of an hour in vinegar before using
them. The whole should be thoroughly dry
before they are put to use. Bx. paper.
