CONDITION OF MORMON WoMrN.-An officer
belonging to Col. Steptoe's command, now sta
toned at Salt Lake City, ia letter to the
Providence Journal, thus speaks of the condi-
ton Of the Mormon women :
with word about their melancholy con-
dition, | will bring long letter to a close. As
general thing, woman here, having satisfied
what we call 'lnsi, bet what the Mormons call
the holy desires, Of some righteous elders, is
left TO shift for herself; not the least support
does she receive from him to whom she has
been in many cases forced 10 prostitute herself.
Their condition is infinitely worse than that Of
the slaves Of the South. One Of the wives OF
the chief of the twelve Apostles washes for
boarding house here TO support herself. Two
wives of Farley p. Pratt, another apostle, have
repeatedly begged for work. Women here
have told me that their pretended husbands had
not visited them for months and years. One
of the apostles asked family of three girls to
marry him, and TO get them he would take the
old mother. They refused, and he has since
maligned them in every way. We receive
many requests for assistance to leave from We
men in every position, Their case is peculiar
ly hard, separated by hundreds of miles Of
plain and desert from the outside world, brought
here by false inducements, degraded aud OPP
pressed, with no hope of succor--they are in
great, very great numbers, entirely disaiiacted.
They abhor the very thought Of polygamy tho
very name Of Mormonsm. This is the honest,
simple TRUTH

CLOVER AND LIME ON OLD LANDS.

tbON III AND LIME ON OLD LANDEs
Lands, to DO most fertile, need a stratum Of
mold, such as they had when first cleared off,
viz a stratum of vegetable matter, still in pro-
gross Of decomposition--a black soil, contain
ing so much vegetable carbonaceous matter as
will cause them to smoke, if not to burn, when
heated If the land has been cultivated for a
short time only, this matter will have been as
completely decomposed and oxygenaied as if it
had been burned lis soluble parts will have been
absorbed by plants or would have been sunsen
into the earth by rains. II the tract shall have
been cropped some time then the soil will have
been exhausted more or less of such elements
as are particularly neelful to the article culti-
waited. but may still abound with the elements
needful 10 raise some other sort Of crop when
that crop should have been raised until it should
have used up all its peculiar food which might
have remained. Again, other crops might be
varied with the same general result until all
vegetable nourshment shall have been drawn
out, when the field is completely worn out and
must have its strength renewed before it can do
anything more. The question now is, how
shall this nutritive property of the soil be re-
newed What are the most economical and
efficient meansl Any vegetable matter will be

POETRY.


o Hon. CHARLES L. FIiSr, Secretary Of the Mas
sachusetts Board of Agriculture:
Sir:--Whilc fitting my corn-grounds to-day,
nd listening to the song of the prophetic "Plant-
lg-biri," your issued circular concerning birds
lne up 10 my mind, and for which please to nc
ept my grateful thanks. The accompanying vers-
followed my thoughts, and take the liberty to
,rward them to you, hoping they viii meet some
nswering chord in your breast.
ny THE "pEAsANT BARD"
DEAN slR;--I read your proclamation
with plcasurablc admiration.
Ye printers, speed il DER the nationl
May ye who read It.,
Feel under sacred obligation,
When read, to heed III
The birds the birdsl-what man may know
The vast amount Of good they do'
Fen the poor bann'd and bandit crow
(WRIr calls him rayen)-
Once fed prophet, long ago,
by will Of Heaven.
Now days crows pull some corn, Ills true;
They love it, so do and you;
But grubs and worms they likewise view
With mouths that "water,'
And wage upon the vermin crew
UnAinching slaughter.
Please keep before the peoples eyes
This truth, Of every bird that iics;--
Far more Of good than evil lies
To their account;
The evil S small; no money buys
The good amount.
How oft We quit my toll and run
To see what meant the Strengthening guns"
And IL I found some valiant son
OF blood and Mars
Shot birds, his shrt-tail dag was one
Of "striPes," not "stars."
What songs with those of birds can vie
From the bright gold-6nch that ON high
Swings his wee hammock in the sky,
To the dear thing
That nestlcs where the moses lie,
And grasses spring.
How blessed I Is so be awaking
To the bird-cloir, when day is breaking
When Phcebus IL the west forsaling,
No fne-spun sermon
Like theirs, could DER my soul be shaking
The dews of lIermonl
The bright May morn, from shaking spray
Yon bird outpours his PLANTING lay,
How sweetly, naively socially,
As late heard
dear-loved iriend-God bless her Say,
And save the Bird
Sir, count me ready to abet
You, in the work to which you re set.
I'm 10th to speak or pen threat,
But loafng rowdy
Who Kills birds on my farm, will get
Especial "goudy."
Yours most heartily for the birds,
josiah b. CANNING.
