That proIane and irreyrent use OF
the name Of the Creator and Redeem
er OF the world is a coarse vulgarism
not to be tolerated in the society oil
ladies is universally admitted. Even
among the more refined Of the other
sex, such language is only employed
out Of their company tor the occasion
alpurpose Of adding point or empha-
Sis to their most earnest conversation.
Bat many persons who reProbate the
practice reserve to themselves the
privilege OF using such language on
special occasions, and are willing to
tolerate in others that which they will
not altogether abandon thcmselves.---
BY the customs OF society. therefore,
it appears to be considered sufficient
" gentcci to utter the most impiouS
language in the presence and defiance
OF the omnipotent Jehovah, porrided
that ladies are not within hearing, and
the occasion seems 10 call for more
than ordinary carnestness of express
sion.
1t is not necessary to stop to inquire
whether such Difference TO female
taste is not itself insulting, by compar-
ison, to the majesty of Heaven. Pro-
fame laguage is directly and immedi-
ately impious. 1t is a clear. emphat-
ic and undeniablc declaration of the
individual that he does not pay
decent respect even to his Creator
and Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
In the category of human crimes it
stands next to that form of blasphe-
my which the scriptures teach US new
er can be forgiven.
We are persuaded that the general
prevalence of this custom is due to the
impression that it is a sign of manly
courage. 1t is, however, very ques.
tionable whether the courage it is sup.
posed to indicate is genuine. One
thing is certainly true, that is no dis.
honor to man TO fear his Maker
Far better would it be to endure the
imputation Of cowardice like this, than
to expose one's-self, by habits of out
rageous blasphemy, to the special
Vengeance of heaven

How to make one Farm equal to
Three.

In a recent address by G.. 4. Stew
art, Esq, before the Ohio Agricultural
Society, he thus speaks on this sub
ject:
Many farmers arc destroying the
produciiycncss OF their farms by shall
low work. As they find that their
crops are diminishing, they think on
v Of extending their acres Of surface,
as ii they supposed their title deeds
only gave them a right to six inches 0;
earth. If they will take those deeds.
study their meaning, and apply the
lesson to their fields, they will soon
realize in thrcc-loId crops, the fact that
the law has given them three farms
where they supposed they had only
one in other words, that the suh-solI,
brought up and combined with the top
soil and enriched with the atmospheric
influences. and those other elements
which agricultural science will teach
them 10 apply to their ground, will IN
crease three-told the measure Of its
productivcness.
TO show to what extent the fertility
of the soil may be increased, | refer
10 a. statement in the last Patent Office
Report. In the year 1850, there were
nine competitors tor the premium corn
crops of Kentucky, each OF whom
cultivated ten acres. Their average
crop was about l22 bushels per acre.
At that time, the average crop OF
wheat per acre in the harvests OF
Great Britain, on soil cultivated for
centuries, was about double that pro-
duced on the virgin soil Of Ohio
Why is this Simply because British
farmers are educated men and apply
work wisely. They pay back to the
earth what they borrow; they en-
deavor by every means in their power
20 enrich their ground, and in turn it
-nriches them. If orr farmers instead
If laboring TO double their acres,
would labor to double their ,crops,
they would find it vast saving OF
time and soil, and an increase OF
profits.

thousand scperate poems, full Of indl-

Of feeling, and golden recolIections,

TO the halo of their own fond affection.
The eye of a stranger rests coIdly on
such revelations; their simple pathos
is hard to be understood; and they
smile oitentimeS at the quaintness OF
those passages which make Others
weep. With the beautiful instinct OF
true affection home love retains only
the good. There We're clouds then,

Cnltmre Of ASparagHs.-We are fire.
quentIy called upon for information
upon the subject of preparing the
ground and planting asparagus roots.
In order to grow this delicious escuIent
to perfection, the ground should be
either trenched or plowed not less
than eighteen inches deep: and two
feet would be better, working in a
plentiful supply OF old stable manure.
The proper time for planting is as ear
~ in the spring as the ground is in a
suitable condition to work. The
plants should be two years old, and
should be set six or eight inches be-
low the surface, in beds four feet wide,
with a space Of two and n half feet
between the beds. The plants should
be set one foot apart. with four rows
in each bed. A light, rich, sandy
loan, constitutes the best soil for as
paragus. The ground can hardly be
too rich. An occasional sprinkling OF
salt upon the asparagus bed promotes
the growth of the plants.
