CLOVER AT THE SOUTH.

We feel very much inclinea to keep

OF soil, without much artificial aid, we
shall no, attempt to insist. But that we
have much soil, and many places in which
1t Will do well, VIE cannot doubt, and we
are quite as sure, that with a little helm il
might be introduced very extensively, and
with how much benefit we can hardly at
tempt to esti,nate:' Its value for hogs and
other stock, when it Is made to succeed,
would be very ample compensation for
all that II would cost. But the largcs.
benefit, would he to the land. With such
constant culture with the plow and hoe,
rs our crops demand, in cotton country,
our lands must wear out, and that very
rapidly. Now, il VIC can end some friend
ly asant, which could build up and restore
our exhausted fields for us, while we were
eyhausting and wearing out another por.
ton with our cotton crops, we eshoulL feel
that our case hail beer exactly mot. III
his couM'iiof perhaps be promised by the
clover crop; but nothing else, We suppose,
could come so near to il, and with its aid.
and such additional help as good mana.
gers might provide, VIC might expect to
see our lands grow no worse, and hone for
improvement. While at the State Fair
At Montgomery, It was our privilege to
have long conversation with Col.
Croomo; whose esperidneb on his farm in
Green County, Ala, has not been very
short one in the use and cultivation OF the
Red Clover. He reports his success as
uniform and complete. His experience is,
that before the introduction of Clover on
his farm, he was meat buyer, but that
now lie has one hundred pounds of pork
to the hand, FIR saic,n naftef ample SUPPLIES
for tie negroes on the farm, and that il
costs him so little, that he scarcely knows
where it comes from; and besides this, he
has corn for sale, and makes very full
cotton crops. 1t is demonstrations like
these, that make us urge its claims and
insist on n fair trial. We learn, moreover.
that after the land has been in clover a
few years, that it, productions are increas.
el to An almost incredible extent. We
do not ak that any body shall hur, them.
selves by the trial, but We do insist that
it is worth the effort to make a small ex.
pertinent, so that he who fails shall not
suffer much loss while he that succeeds
shall have discovered a great price. The
ilrst OF February is good time for sowing.
slack lime lands are tho best. Tie plow-

a McA TER EDGER,
NO GOOD FROM PASSION

:" WIN putting ones self into passion
mend the matteri" said a venerable tll
man to boy who had picked up stone
to throw at dog. The dog on barkcd
at him in playfulness.'
Yes it will mend the matter" said
the passionate boy, and Immediately
dashing tho stone at the Dig.
The animal thus enraged sprung ut the
boy, and bit his leg; while the stone
bounded against shop window, and
brokca pane of glass. ~:..'-'.'.: -
Out ran the shop keeper, and seized
the passionate boy, and made him pay
Tor the broken pane.
The passionate hoy had mended the
after finely, finely indeed!
' 1t was the other day that saw n little
boy fall down; and | should have helped
him on his legs again, but he sat up such
believing that | left himself, that he
might find out whether ,ha, would mend
the matter. '''. s'.
Take NY word for it, t never did, and
It never will mend the matter to Get into
a passion about it. IL the thing be hard
to bear when you arc calm, it will be
harder when you are III anger.
If you have met with a loss you will
only increase il, and increase it sadly too,
10y being willing to lose your temper.
There is something very lttle-mindcd
and silly in either men or boys in giving
way TO sudden passion. DO set yourself
against j, with all your heart.
Try then to be calm, especially in tri-
fling troubles, and when greater ones
come, try TO bear them bravely.
