dung Of pigeons is the dearest anu
The Persisns use, and as they apply il
almos, entirely for The rearing of melons,
i! is probable, on thai account, that The
melons of lspahan are go much finer
lhan those Of other cities. Pliuy say s
tina, the invention of manures belong TO
Auseas, who was a GrecIan king. An
ancient historian (rheophras.us) names
six kinds of manures. Salt, either alone
or mixed in dunghill, is mentioned in the
New Testament. Jprdon annually over
flowed its banks, and left behind a rich
deposit, upon which seed was sown, in
a~llusion to which Solomon says, 'cast
thy bread (seed or corn upon the waters,
and thou shalt find it again after many
days.
The earliest mention made in tie Old
Testament Of a plough, is in Deui. xxi,
where The lsraelites are prohibited from
pIoughing with an OK and ass together
The plough, says Horne, appears TO
have been furnished with a shoe and
coulter, probably not very unlike those
now in usc.
According 10 the testimony Of tra'el
lsis the people Of Asia-Minor use goads
of large size, eight feet long and six
inches a! the larger end.
lIesiod mentions a plough consisting
Of three parts-lhe share beam, tie
draught pole, and the plough tail; but
historians are not agreed as TO lis pre-
else form. Cato says plougks were Of
TWO kinds, n for light soils. larro
mentions one with two mould boards,
and others with u coulter. The method
of managing the ground and preparing
it for lillage, was very different from that
at present pursued. The Grecian cul.
iure gave the ground three ploughings-
one in autumn, another in spring, and a
third just before sowing time when
manure was applied.
The Romans deviated from the prac
tice of ALLOWING. In general, a following
and a years crop succeeding each other.
The prophet jeremiah speaks OF break
ing up fallow ground; and Isaiah asks,
Doth the ploughman plough all day to
sow? When he hath made ll>in the
face thereof, doth he no cast abroad the
fitches and scatter the cumin, and cas-,
in principal wheat; and the appointed
barley and!lhe rye in their places?"

The PLAINS Northumberland
says that these plains produce some OF
the finest fruits in the world. A very
delicious peach has lately been introduced
into England, which has created a good
deal of excitement among nursery men.
The plains in the spring of the year are
covered with gorgeous flowers. Truf-
aes grow in great abundance, aud are
quite extensively used as an article Of
food. The hanging gardens of Baylor,
L.ayard says, were no fiction. He has
found pictured representations of them IN

UGLY MEN.

A cores pendent of the Aberdeen
Miss. Conservative states it as a singu-
lar fact, tina. ugly men have BEEN almos,
invariably successful s%uiiors, while pref
ty little figures, scented like the rose,
and alfred like the lilly, too frequently
meet with disappointment. In support
of his theory, he instances the success
of Vulcan with Venus, Epeas with
Dido, Ulysses with Penelope, and
CT 5oked backed Richard with Lady Anne;
but adds: ugly men, however, some
times entertain the erroneous opinion
that their ugliness is disagreeable to the
opposite sex. Such a delusion lost a
friend of mine a wife, and with her a
corpulsn. fortune. His good sense, ele
gance, native wil-nay. his very ugliness
had so won upon her tender heart hat
the prize was almost ready for his grasp.
The stars were shining and sof. winds
wers breathing. when our ugly man
prepared himself for the final act-'pop
ping the question: He had consulted
his mirror prior to his departure for her
residence. and found, 10 his chagrin, that
his prpbocis was unusually hideous. -
This threw him into considerable lrcpida
ZION. Goose! he should have gloried in
the longitude Of The organ. He arrived
at The home of his beloved; he was with
her in the same parlor. He looked into
the fair ones smiling face, and began his
suit. But unwelco.ne thoughts will in.
trude themselves at unreasonable mo-
ments. He thought Of his nose and
became confused. He looked at ,hai
member, and its hue was Of a fiery red.
TO his excited fancy it seemed like
q comet
"'ThatI fires The length of Ophiucus huge
In the Arctic sky"
As he looked, the organ SO increased
in size that he could tarry no longer
He fled, nurmnuring incohesently, and
saw the hei.ess no more. However,
one of my red-headed. freckle-raced
cousins married her. lie is now the
happy father of seven healthy, ugly
children. and grows apace in u~gliness
himself"

We are waiting, Spirit, waiting!

Mid the outer world creating

Gaze we for thy solemn wing.
Wherefore was thy mission given?
He who sent thee babe thee bring!
SPIRIT Of Death.
She is sleeping-softly sleeping
Like an infant hushed to rest,
Ger her bends her mother, weeping;

Can hurt the arns that fold her,
Wound the heart that loves her so?
Let her mothers eye behold her,
Yet a breath-and she shall 60!
The angels.
Lingering yet-and yet delaying
Still thy steps from Heavens dome:
Angels and archangels saying,
Call the wanderer 10 her home!
We have scattered flowers elysian,
Gather'd from immortal streams;
Show her, then, this lofty vision!
81 Fill her soul with scraph dreams!
Spirit Of Dacth.
She hath asked to see their faces:
And her heart is beating fast,
For those sweet and sad embraces
Which she knows must be her last!
l have breathed of angel blisses,
Told her spirit not to grieve:
Must | take her from their kisses?
From the last she may receive?
There were sounds Of hosts rejoicing
In that seraph realm above;
Angels and archangels voicing
Hymns OF triumph and of love!
There were sounds the midnight rending,
From a heart with anguish tossed;
Anda mothers prayer ascending
Weeping, wailing for her lost!
