The second time he remained under water longer

sought TO Iaise him, but found it had caught in
something, making such thing impossible. On
Saturday evening, Green and another skiIul diver,

AGRICULTURAL.
Cultivation of Wet Lands,

+ We are continually applied to for infor-
nation as to the management of wet lands.
We answer, either under.drain, and sub.
soil plow them, or move to another locali-
ty. Subsoil plowing wet lands withou,
understanding them is useless. as the SUBJ
soil will again pack itself in a single sea-
son as perfectly as before blowing. Deep
blowing in wet lands is of but little use
Excess Of water is always unfriendly to
vegetation, and as the most wet lands have
outlets, much Of the matter held in solu-
lion may be carried away. The blowing
of one day scarcely benefits the growth
of another; for when all the surfaces of
particles are fabricated by water, the soil
soon settles to its original hardness. The
presence of water In the soil prevents ad
mission OF atmosphere, and therefore, the
chemical changes necessary to render the
roots Of former crops fit food for future
plants, do not occur. Acetic acid is form
ed, and the land becomes sour, full of sor-
rel, and other parasitic plants. Many
persons have stated that they have no out
let by which they can drain their wet land
but few instances can be found where the
digging OF well at low point will rot
furnish this desideratum. 1t is true that
occasionally we find soils in which well
will be continually full to its top. but in
seventy five cases in the hundred, within
lew feet from the surface, we will meet
with some strata capable of receiving and
carrying away large amounts of water.
Many wells of twenty feet or more deep
will furnish $40 gallons of water per day.
without redu, ing the height of the water in
the well; and the reason evidently is, that
the water for miles around occupying the
strata which supplies the well. is s,rug-
Cling to find its level. and therefore return
ishes any quantity which is taken out from
the bottom Of the well and (which went TO
disturb that level. For the same reason.
if we pour into the well one thousand gall
Ions Of water per hour, instead of taking
them out, they will only go to increase the
height of water in the well to the extent oil
that depth, after being spread through the
whole Of this strata perhaps for many
miles; and thus single well Of ordinary
width and not of extraordinary depth, will
often drain an entire farm, and the main
drains may be readily made to pass into
its mouth. Sometimes the ordinary Arte-
sian boring is found to be fully sufficient
for carrying off the results OF drains, and
these Can now be bored so cheaply that it
would be difficult to find wet field moi
capable OF being restored.

Tact.

What, in moral sense. is called tact. is
when joined to wickedness, the most hate
full, but when connected with goodness. the
most amiable quality belonging to man.
There is a rough, unfriendly manner of
doing kindness, which is unfit to be used
to common beggar, but which pains and
dusgusts the man Of honor. There is an
other, well meant. perhaps, but rude. in
delicate manner, whereby the benefit loses
its power to give pleasure. or to concili-
ate the one on whom it is bestowed; and it
becomes to him a new and often a more
oppressed burden than the one from which
it wassintended to relieve him.
Tho itrue secret OF benevolence is to
know how to hide, or at least to underval-
ue. the benefit, that the unfortunate person
may be.spared the modification of having
+ his necessity and his dependence under
stood; that there may be less the appear
ance Of making debtor. than Of putting
the donor under an obligation. By. spar.
ing in this way, the feeling of honor. the
most unimportant service may receive a
| value, power to attract and retain affec-
lions, which, without it, the greatest sacrl-
fees would not have.
"You are riding Nvery good and quiet
horse," said Turenne to one OF his officers
who was in fact mounted on an old and
worthless animal, but was too poorto pro-
vide himself with better. ''My horses are
for an old man like me, too fiery and spir-
tied; you will do me favor if you will ex-
change" 1t is perceived at once that this
exchange was present, and for man
like Turenne no very great one; but how
kind and graceful was the manner in which
it was made! How much must the officer
have felt bound to the man who united
with attention to his necessities so much
consideration for his honor!
Rebukes are from their nature mortify-
ing and humilating; and. when spoken
with the rude tone ofsuperiority, they must
embitter rather than improve those to
whom they are addressed. And here. too,
there is kind. mild way, by which the
reproof may lose its harshness, but not its
effect. Its effect, indeed, by such means
may be more sure and large. Turenne.
who understood so we'll the manner Of do.
ing kindness. did not less understand
the way to administer rebuke.
The soldiers under his command once
plundered castle, which they had taken
by storm. They found in it lady OF
wonderful beauty. and brought her. as the
best part Of the booty, to their commander.
| Turenne. who did not feel at all hattered
by their attention, sent Immediately for the
| |husband of the unfortunate lady. "Here.
Sir. "vsaid he, '.feceive back your wife:
you must thank my brave soldiers for the
preservation other honor. They were fill
ed with admiration for so much beauty;
and. to secure her from any harm from i'll
disposed persons. they brought her to me,
their commander."-I Day. .I1Esg
