nIt's Me,Ug

Passing neat little residence, we hap
pened 10 see man waiting at the door Tor
admittance. At the instant, a green blind
above, just opened little way, and by
the gas.light, we caught glimpse Of a
pair OF brilliant eyes. and q flutter Of some
thing white, when bird-toned voice soft
ly said:
"Who's there?''
"It's. me-" was the brief response:
The eyes and the futier disappeared
from the window. like stars in cloud, and
we almost fancied as we passed on. we
could hear the paiting Of two little feel
upon the stairs winged with welcome.
Htwas triHe, it all happened in an in
stant, but it haunted as for an hour. lt's
me! Amid the jar Of the city, those words
fell upon the quick ear aloft. and met a
glad response.
It's me! And who was ''meq" The
pride Of hearts life, no doubt; the "de.
fender Of the faithful in the best sense o.
the word?
It's me! Many there are who would give
I half their hearts, and more than hall the
hope in them, for one such recognition in
this, "wide, wide world" On Change, in
the Directory, at the Post Office, he wa.
lkno~f, as A. B. or C. Esq; but on the
Threshold, and within those walls, it's me
and nothing more; and what is more, there
one would love TO be-.
Few Of all the hearts that beat so wild
Ily, sadly. warmly, slowly, but recogniz,
a true soul amid the din and darkness o
the world, in that simple but eloquent, it,
line. AS if he had said:
aNow I'm nothing to all the world,
/ For I'm all the world to thee"

Depth for Burying Manure.

Depth for Burying Manure.
Men are divided as to the proper depth Of
butying msnure.s Some hold tha. it sinks
in ihe soil, is washed downward by the
ledching rains, and should therefore be
applied near or at the surface. Others as
sert that its volatile and most valuable
parts rise by fermentation. and that con-
sequen.ly il should be buriedsdeep. Now
itus6ally happens when doctors disagree
TIA. both are partly right and partly wrong;
butt ihe present instance. they are both
kttlein thelright; and great deal in the
wrong. - - ''s's E saE a5f5
Manure usually stays very nearly where
il b put. Y buried near the surface, it
remains near the surface; if buried Deep.
thsrssit remains; il plowed under in large
Jumps, il has but little power to rise, sink
or.in any other way to intermix itself, and
hence the reason that thorough pulveriza..
tion orharrowing before manure is turned
under gives result inlarge crops.
The,power which clay has to absorb the
fsrtilizing portions Of manure, is very great.
Soils which possess q medium amount Of
clay; or loan, with medium degree Of
senacitys will absorb all that is valuable in
ordinsry manure. equal 10 nearly their own
bulk. Forty .loadsi of manure 10 the acre,
forms : heavy coa.ing yet this is only one
lold 70 four square rods. constituting a
dspsh, whore spread, Of only one third Of
an inch. sssiqk i
Consequently when q coating Of forty
loads to the acre is plowed under. the
volatile parts have only to pass one third
of-sn inch or So, before they are all alb
sordsds BY the soil. Hence the error Of
surprising that they can possibly, in or
dihsry2 soils, rise, or sink to any6practi-
cable depth. And hence, also, the great
importance Of mixing manures very ia-
simstely through all parts Of the soil, il
plsnts are to GET their full benefit and not
be over.fsd at one part and their roots
starved ii another. ss.Fs' -
There are many proofs Of the correct
nsss 6fths position here taken. We have
made large piles Of compost, consisting Of
one third rich stabls manure, and two
thirds 81 loan and turf. VI. all The odor
