"Fire. fire, fire."

The mistress Of the mansion, awak>

hurriedly began to dress, gazing a

was conscious only that her husband
was absent. She was recalled to some

was pointing, with terrified gesticula-

We have for years been endeavor-
ing to impress upon our readers the
propriety Of ploughing all sound land
that Is, ell land that is not ref, deep.
Nv, for most crops. Besides pIoughine
eight inches In depth. we would subsoil
from eight to ten inches more. We
have repeatedly stated the rationale ol
the thing. and shall content ourseIf now.
with giving ihe results and benefit q at
tendant upon deep ploughing, as tes-
ted By several distinguished practical
farmers in different States and on diff
ferrnt soils. However tcnablc or phi
Iosophic theory may be, there is no.
thing like giving facts, as they speak
= practical language, which those who
are even welded TO old customs will
not only listen to. but properly apprc--
ciate. We have seen some statements
wade by farmers. where eren 1sf lands
were benefited by deep ploughing: we,
however. never have been able TO dis.
cover the propriety of deepening such
lands. until alter the operation u drain
ing has been performed, and the land
given time enough TO be relieved of its
surplus water.
Permit US now to- direct your atten-
ton to the following facts and opinions
illustrative of the benefits of giving
growing crops ample pasturage:
Mr.. Stephen v. II. Tro@bridge, a
Michigan wheat grower, says. in speak
ing of the preparation Of the land for
wheat:
"We plough from eight to ten inches.
| find deep pIoughing indispensable to
a good crop."-Pa. on. Report.
Mr., ]. q. Wilson, Of Fort Wayne,
Allen county, Indiana, in giving an
account Of field Of 20 acres that ave-
ragged 40 bushels of ,oheat to the acre,
saws:
"The yield is an increase as we
plough deeper. and harrow oftener and
ibetter,-thoroughly to pulverize the
ground with drag or harrow, being the
great secrets in raising wheat. Pat.
OH. Report.
Mr.. Isaac Kinlcy, another Indiana
farmer. in speaking Of the products ol
his part of the State, says:
"Deep ptoughing is becoming much
more common; the effect Of which is
abundantly evident in the iacrease ol
crop."-Pm Off, Report.
Mr.. WV. BRUNEI of Wayne coun'
| ty. Indiana, says:
"Some experiments this season. il
deep ploughing, more than doubly repay
the labor, both for corn and ,oheaf.'

THE DEATH or INFANTS.

Those who have never lost child,
are unable to understand how great
void the death Of one little one can
make. There is, we think, nothing ON
earth that can cast SO long and wide.
and black shadow as small coffin.
1t is emphatically the shadow Of death
which freezes the parents heart
\ Small as is an infants tomb, it some>
times is capacious enough to hold the
brightest hopes and dearest joys Of a
whole family circle. The little child
is often the bright focus, where all the
rays Of gladness in household centre,
aud from which they are reflected again
over happy hearts and when this CEN
tral light is ecIipsed, great darkness
falls upon all.
How many there must be in hea-
ven, gathered up fro all climes, even
from heather shores, VINO have died SO
young as to retain no memory Of earth,
and to whom that world of glory seems
as their native land whose souls we're
washed and regenerated SO early, that
no stain OF this world was ever visible
upon the soul
Whatever wound of sin there NAV
have been, has heal0l without scar
their every thought has has been mould
ed by the society and scenery Of heaven,
and they stand continually before the
face Of the Father. In how large q
sense may We say, !" Of such is the
kingdom Of AeavenSm

that the large increase of the Mexican army
