Early imports of American cotton
from America into England. Cotton
Is said to be Indigenous in the lower
Missippian region; it is said to have
been used extensively in the western
parts Of South America as a material
for clothing before the discovery of
those regions.by Europeans. Our first
accounts of it as a staple article of com
MERGE is in St. Domingo before 1926
and in Surrinam before 1888. We
find that the cotton patches were COM
mon in Carolina. about the end OF the
seventeenth century, and that there
was exported from Jamaica 1000 bags
of cotton in 1853 and in l16S to the
United Kingdom, 22ll bags. 4i2 200
lbs. and to North America 252 bags.
The first imports of cotton wool the

A French BEE SToRY.-The following
rather tough narrative comes to US from
across the water -
A curious circumstance occurred few
days back at Guilevllle, Eure-et-Loire. A
small farmer had in field about $50 bee
hives, containing 4 vast number of bees
He sent man with cart, drawn by five
horses, TO remove some earth from the wall
near which the hives were placed. The
carter, having occasion TO go to the farm.
house, tied the horses to tree Almost
Immediately after, multitude Of bees, Ell
ther irrtated at the shaking of their hives
by the removal of the earth from the wall
or excited by the electricity with which the
atmosphere happened to be charged, issued
from their hives, as if in obedience to a
given signal, and with great fury attacked
the horses, In an instant the poor animals
were entirely covered with bees from head
to foot even their nostrils were filled with
them. When the carter returned, he found
one of the horses lying dead on the ground,
and the others rolling about furiously. His
cries attracted several persons; one of them
attempted to drive away the bees, but they

Thinning out Vegetables.

There is greater loss in suffering vegeta-
bIeS to stand too thick, than most cultlva-
tors are aware of. 1t does require consid-
cradle nerve to commit indiscllmnate
slaughter upon fine growing plants. For
instance, here are ten beautiful melon vines,
just beginning to run, with fruit blossoms
forming. Now, who has the bold hardi-
hood to draw them all out but three or four,
and throw them willing away? Who can
take the beets just as their tops give eVl.
dence of roots below, and separate them 10
ten inches? 1t is hard matter, we must
confess, and is not properly done one time
in twenty; but to have bulbs, top roots, mel
Gus, cucumbers or squashes, it must now be
done, and the increased vigor of the re-
naming plants will certainly repay the
trouble Then fall to aud spare not nc
top.rooted plant or bulb should stand SO
thick that the hoe cannot pass freely be-
tween them. No vine should have more
than four or five plants left to the hill.
Snap-beans look so pretty growing thick,
that we hate to disturb them; but if you
would have the bushes yield their pendant
treasures, thin out to ten incnes. We know
nothing that will bear as thick planting as
English peas in place of thinning them,
shade the ground around them; now that
they are in bloom and in pod, they will con-
tinue in fruit much longer the shade en-
riches the land, and saves culture. 1t is
not always those that make the earliest and
the best, but those who thin udiciousy and
cultivate Understandings Most gardeners
plant seeds too thick, trusting 10 thinning
out in their growing state; but alas they
look so inviting, and plead so eloquenty for
lie, that degenerate, inferior plants are the
rewards of our false philosophy.

SIRs EDIToRs. 1t seems desirable that
farmers should better understand the prn-
cples of rotation-that they should possess
more thorough knowledge Of the prop
critics of the various soils, so as to be able
to investigate and explain scientifically the
the adaptation of all soils to crops best suit,
ell to each, as at present we are moving
bIlndfold, in hap-hazard, hit or miss prac-
tees, and at variance with any thing like
a judicious system. All we know is, that
we derive an advantage by change of crops
upon the same ground, but the way and the
wherefore remain unexplained. With this
regard, the extent of our progress seems to
consist IN the stereotyped nomenclature,
that cold, wet soil is best ad apted TO the
grasses, and warm, sandy loan, more suit
ed TO corn. Some one has remarked Lew
errier, think that no one can pursue far
ming successfully, unless he is skilled IN
agricultural chemistry and capable of anal
wing soils. In reply, it may be stated that
not one of hundred has even remote
conception of the science, yet the farmers
Of Maine move steadily along, get gain, and
are in the enjoyment of their full share Of
temporal blessings; but doubtless, if more
science were applied, greater profits would
be realized from the same amount of labor
but what we lose at the spigot is made
up at bung in other words, lack headwork
is made up with bone-labor.

a Liebig, or a Silliman, could have deter
mined at once, by chemical analysis of
the soil, what crop would best follow, or
what best to apply to restore certain lost
propetes-whether ammonia, gypsum, lime
or ashes. but with US it is perfect broad
cast business, and we can only arrive at the
conclusion, that it is reasonable to pre-.
sumo that the soil is exhausted OF certain
qualities essential to the growth of the
carrot, and that some other crop must sue

THE DYING SLAVE.

The following is from one of our distrct-school
girls only twelve years old. For that
age, where shall we find better? Id.
Nearest thou that mOurnful wailing,
Low and trembling thine ear?
Think'st thou tits from heart that's quaiing,
OF couchant coward pale with fear'
Bend thy steps to yon plantation,
Where the cane is growing high;
Hearst thou no burst of Indignation
No halEheaved, halfsmothered sigh'
And seest thou that maiden dashing
Tears from off her sunburnt checks
And sees thou her dark eyes flashing
AS their gaze yon recess seeks'
Thinkst thou, there's no bosom swelling
Meath the skin of ebon hue :
Is not that deep silence telling,
More than any words could do?
In that grove where trees are growing
High and green, and proudly wave,
There the purple streams flowing
From the wounds of that young slave.
Fale she les-no word spoken
By that noble, high-bon one
Her prond spirit, crushed and broken,
Now is signing to be gone.
Comes there yet humble maiden.
Bending DER the dying now,
With a cup of water laden,
Fol the young girls feveged brow.
Her bosom heaves--alOne tits telling
Life still fingers in her veins;
Her pure hearts best blood is yelling
Forth in those deep crimson stains.
Africs princess nov is dying,
Once the pride of home and land
Pale and cold she is lying
Crushed by cruel slavey's hand.
win We see the tyrant wearing
Out the life blood Of the slave
Willye still be thus GOrbearing,
Freemcn rouse ye, and be brave
Tyrants beware a storm is lowering
O'er the land whe,e heroes bled
Soon to burst with overpowering
Vengeance Gu the oppressOr's head!
