Fall Flowing.

The Importance Of the subject in
duccs US frequently TO refer to the adj
vantages which, we are satisfied,
would accrue to the agriculture Of the
South, from turning under the surface
of our fields in the fall. For the pur-
pose of fertilizing, there is no single
operation so easily accomplished and
SO universally at command, that we
think would so certainly repay the Ia
Dor of the planter, as fall plowlng.-
We mean, Of course, where the cir
cumstances of the soil are such as to
demand it, for we do not intend to say
that in every case the results would
follow, or even that the operation
would be advisable at ALL A sandy
soil, which has been closely dePastur.
ed, covered with a very slight if any
coat of vegetable matter, instead OF
being benefited, might be injured by
fall blowing.
The advantages offall blowing over
the same operation in the spring are
apparent from several very obvious
considerations. 1.-THE object be to in
corporate vegetable matterin the soil,
it is very apparent that there Will be
a greater amount OF it upon the sur
face in the fall, than in the spring, al
ter the field has been exposed to the
run of the stock, and the action of the
winds and rains of winter.
And it is equally apparent that the
vegetable matter will be in a better
condition to benefit the land if plowcd
under in the fall, before it has dried,
than it will be, after all its juices have
been cvaporated, and nothing but the
dry woody substance Of the stalks left.
Whether, therefore, reference is had to
the quantity of vegetable matter, or
the quality Of it, it is clearly better to
pillow it under in the fall than to wait
until the succeeding spring.
There is yet another consideration
in favor of fall blowing, which has Il
good deal of force in it. When veget-
able matter is plowed undcrin the fall,
in a green or sappy state, it readily
undergoes decomposition, and s,there-
fore, readyto be appropriated by the
growing crop next spring. This is an
advantage of 70 small consideration.
We all appreciate the Importance of
gaining an early start for the crop in
the spring, and we think there is no
more certain means of securing this.
than by judcious fall blowing.
Still another recommendation of fall
blowing is the benefit which results to
the land from action of lrosts and free
yes of winter upon it. Every farmer
appreciates the beneficial effects Of a
freeze upon his soil! These benefits
are greatly enhanced when the land
has been previously well plowed. Es-
pecialIy is this an important consider
alton with those who cultivate stiff
soils. They are rendered much more
frable, and are, therefore, in better
condition for the work of preparing
the land with the pillow next spring.

The Dying Mozart.

Wolfgarg Mozart, the great German
composer, died at Viena in 'Ic yea
l79l. There is something beautiful
and touching in the circumstances OF
his death. His sweetest song was the
last, the Reaguicm. He had been en-
pIoyed upon this exquisite piece for
several weeks. his soul filled with the
richest melody, and already claiming
kindred with immortality. After S'y'
ing it its last touch and breathing into
it that undying spirit Of song which
TO consecralc it through all time
as the "sysnean strain" he fell into
gentle and quier alumbcr. At length

"Come hthcr.' said he, "my Emelie
my task is done, the Rcquiem-my
Requiem is finished
Say not 50, my dear father" said
the gentle girl, intcrruptjng him a.
tears stood IN hrreycs, "lou must be

YOUR cheek has a glow upon tt am

.Do not deceive yourself. my love.

Spirit! thy labor is over!
Thy term Of probat on is run,
Thy steps are now bound for the intro ldcr

Pause not on the threshold Of limited lille
TO mourn for the day that is set.
Spirit! no letters can bind,
No wicked have power to modest,
There the weary like the wretchcd shall fin
\ A heaven, mansion OF rest.

For which thou art now on thy wing,
Thy home will be with thy Savior and Goo
