How TO MAXI MANURE. In regard to the
management Of cattle and making manure,
| pursue the following course Ny barn.
yard is small for the stock, which consider
good economy for the reason that the manure
occupies small surface; consequently it is
not washed SO much by rains. The manure
is carted out on to grass land in the fall and
spread, which consider much better than
to leave il in heaps during the winter. The
yard is then filed to the depth Of IL to lS
inches with muck or turf, for absorbing the
urine and wash Of the solids. The stable
floors are taken up, manure taken out which
was put in the previous autumn, and filled
up to the floor with turf. This absorbs
the urine from the stables and makes rich
manure. My cattle are taken to the barn
from the 18th November to December LIST,
and are ted twice day with Us much hay
as they will eat in the stables, with little
meal, and the corn fodder is fed to them In
the yard when the weather will admit of it.
The straw is used for bedding stables and
sheds, except what is eaten naturally rs
change OF food. ! am Of the opinion that
straw is worth more for bedding and manure
than to feed stock, even if il be harvested in
the best condition.

Who shall roll away the Stone from
the door Of the Sepulcrel

The following letter under the above cap
tion, was written 10y MIS-. Stowe after the
death OF her son lew weeks ago:
Yes who! There it lics-hard, cold,
inexorable; the stone OF silcnce-thc
stone of utter hopeless separation. Since
the beginning OF the world there 1t has
been - no tears. have melted it
prayers pierced 1.-THE children OF men,
sursing and complaining in their anguish
OF bereavement, have dashed against 1t,
only to melt hopelessly backward as u
wave fails and goes back into the ocean.
Nothing about the doom OF death Is SC
dreadful as this dead inilexiblc sitenee.-
Could there be, after the passage OF the
river, one backward signal-onc last
word, the heart would be appcascd.-
There is always something lett unsaid,
even when death has come deliberately
and given full warning. How much more
when it has fallen like the lightning, and
the beloved has been wrenched from life
without parting look or word!
Walter Scott, after the death OF his
wife, wrote, What shall do with that
portion of my thoughts that | have al
wavs been in the habit of telling only to
her! And after death, for many aud
many weary day, the heart throbs and
aches with things unsaid-and which
can be said TO no other-ior each friend
takes away portion OF ourselves. There
was some part OF our being related TO
him Us to no other, and We had things to
saw to him which no other would under
stand or appreciate. a portion OF our
thoughts has become useless and burden
some; and again and again, with invol-
untary yearning, We turn TO the stone at
the door of the sepulehrc. We lean
against the cold, silent marble-but there
! is no answer-no yoicc-neither any
that regardeth.
There arc those that would have us
think that in oar day this doom Is re-
yersed-that there are meanswhich have
the power TO restore us the communion
of our lost ones. How many heart,
wrung and tortured with the anguish OF
this fearful silence, has throbbed with
strange, vague hopes at the suggestion.
When we hear, sometimes, OF persons OF
the strongest and clearest minds bccom.
| ing credulous votaries of certain Spirit
ualistic circles, let us not wonder. Ii We
inquire We shall almost always find that
the belief has followed some stroke of
death-it is only the indication of the
desperation OF that heart,hungcr which
in part it appeascs. 'a n'
All, rsre it true! were it indeed SO
tha, the wall between the spiritual and
material is growing thin, and u new dis
pensation terminating, in which COM
munion with the departed blcst shall be
among the privileges and possibilities Of
this our mortal statel All, were it 50
that when We 20 forth weeping in the
grey dawn, bearing spices and oiors
which We long to poar forth tor the be-
loved dead, We should indeed find the
stone rolled away, and an angel sitting
on il. '.i
But for us the stone must be rolled
away by an un9usstioaable angel, whose
coantcnance is as the lightning, who 7ex-
ecutes no doubtful jugglc, by pale moon

a TERRIBLE DEATH. Recently, in st.

OIL one OF the wharvcs in that city, when tine
tide was out. He groped his way along in
the mud, but instead Of taking a course
which would extricate himself from his un.
pleasant perdicament, he wandered up
among the splles beneath the wharf, whcru.
of course, he became more bewildcred than
ever. The ri,ing tide made him conscious
Of his danger, and by shouts and noiso le
was enabled to attract tho attention of Der.
sons passing in the vicinity, but too late for
success. As the tide rose he climbed to the
top Of the spiles, and through u small aper.
turc in the wharf sufficient for one Of lis
arms, he was enabled to inform them Of his
situation His position and feelings can 10
imagined, when the water was every moment
rising around him and he could not be ex.
tricated. He shook hands with his friends;
passed through the hole all the money and
yaluables he had about his person, and Just
rs The wafer was closing over him, after Civ
ing some directions concerning his family,
he bid his friends good bye, and the gurg.
ling water beneath announced that oil was
over. His body was recovered when the
tide receded.

FRuIrs OF RuN DRINKING IN BosroN. On
tho night Of the 9th inst. John Agin was
shot dead in Boston by Thomas Mead, on
the afternoon Of he l7th, John Hilton.
John Donovan and Jacob Todd were stabbed
by Henry l.. sutton, the former breathing
his last in less than half IN hour; in tho
gray OF tho morning Of the 18th, Ezekiel

Boston, was shot through tho head BY some
pcrson unknown and on tho evening Of
the same day Michael Jennings was stabbed
by an unknown drpemdo while standing
Peiceably in one Of the public streets. Tho
intelligent Boston correspondent Of tho
Springfield Republican says: "It Il easy

who had as much, honor, as cool courage.

cunning of the counsel, solaughing aloud
he exclaimed, "Gct, up, Mr.. harrington,

heart to hurt so droll head" 49,
The result was, that in less than an

breakfast, the latter only intent upon as
saulting a dish of smoking chops.
