To Young Men.

That'll never do, young man No use
to stand on the side walk and whine
about hard luck, and say that everything
goes against you--no such a thing. 1t
does not think of you. You are like all
the rest of us--a mere speck on the sur
face Of the earth. Were you this moment
to go down into the living tide. but a
bubble would linger for moment upon
the surface, and even that would vanish
unnoticed.
The heart is full Of hope and ambition,
but ii is not missed when it ceases 10 beat.
One such as you would not leave ripple
You are coward--coward in the bat
lie. There's no fight in you: you have
surrendered without struggle. and now
whine because you are beaten! You are
not worthy Of IA triumph. for you have not
yet earned it G.rret, hut, and dripping
cellar, are ten thousand heroes who would
put you to shame. They must toll or
s;arve.
The strife isa desperate one with them;
for they wres.le with want, while ragge d
and despairins ones wa:ch At the lone
hearth the con es,. S.robs men look deaf h
in the eye when their sinews are strung BY
the wall of hungry CHILDHOOD.
Shame on you. In the full viyor of
health and manhood. no mouth to fill but
yourown, and no back but your own to
cover, and yet crouchiag under the first
searchings of adverse fortune You know
nothing of the storm. for YOU have seen
but the summer. One cloud has frishten-
ed you, aud you think you are hardly dealt
by. You will be lucky if you find no
darker shadows across your path.
Stand up. young sir. pull your handker-
chief from your pocket, throw off your
coat, and take fortune by the throat. You
may be thrown again and again, but hang
on. Put away the nonsence that the world
lS against you. QW SO! our O0S-
Tiny is in your own strong arm. Weld it
like man! With an unbending will, and
honor and truth for guide, the day is
your own.
No capital, eh? You have capital
God has given YOU perfect health. That
is an immense capital to start on. You
have youth and strength--all invaluable
Add a will to put your sinews in motion,
and win. A man in full health and
strength should never despair. because
fortune does not put stream Of gold eagles
into his pockets. If you have no money,
work and get it. Industry. economy.
and integrity, will do wonders. From
such beginnings fortunes have been rear
ed. They can be aga.n. Will you try,
SO that you may walk dry shod into
the Ell Dorado of wealth? Or you will
meet the waves deiantly, and be the
achievcr of your own fortune?
Ty-it is glorious to conquer strife.

Fixed Facts in Agriculture.

The Prairie Farmer says the following
facts hit the right nail on the head and
reminds Farmers to learn the value of
the material furnished from the barn
yard.
All land on which clovers are grown
must have ether lime in them natu-
rally, or that mineral must be arti6ciallv
supplied. 1t matters but little whether it
be supplied in the form of stone lime,
oyster lime or mari
All permanent improvement of the land
must look To lime for is basis.
Lands which have been long in culture,
will be benefited by The application Of
phosphate of lime; and it is unimportant
whether the deficiency be supplied in the
form of bore-dust. guano, native phos-
pha;e Of lime. composts of fresh ashes,
or that of oyster shell lime-or marl-if
the land needs lime also.
No lands can be preserved il a high
state Of fertility. unless clover and the
grasses are cultivated in the course of re-
tation.
Mould is indispensable to every soil,
and a healthy supply can alone be preserv-
ed through the cultivation of clover, and
the grasses. the turning in of green crops,
or by the application of composts rich in
the elements Of mould.
All highly concentrated animal manures
are increased in value, and their benefits
prolonged by the a mixture with plaster,
salt, or with pulverized charcoal.
Deep plouyhing greatly improves the
productive powers of every variety Of soil

Subsoiing sound land, that is, land that
is not wet, is also eminenlly conducive to
increased production.
All wet land should be drained
All grain crops should be harvested be-
fore the grain thoroughly ripe.

Shallow ploughing operates to impov-

By stabling and shedding stock through
the winter, one fourth less food will answer,
than when the stock are exposed TO the
inclemencies Of the weather.
A bushel of plaster per acre. sown

Editing a NeWspaper.

The m,jority Of realers seem to think
that nothing can be more easy or pleasant
than to edit newspaper; but Of all the
different employments by which men
make their bread and butter, there is none,
we firmly believe, that SO taxes the mind
temper and flesh, as that Of editing a pa
per- There is none that requires nicer
tact. quicker wit or kinder heart A
churlish temper could never succeed as an
editor; nor narrow minded man, nor an
ignorant one, nor an unforyiving one. An
editor must, of necessity. turn hims elf
inside out to the public. He cannot be a
hvpocrite any more than a husband could
be a hypocrie to his wife. He must ex-
pose himself in all that he does, as much
in selecting the thoughts Of others as in
publishing his own. and therefore the bet
ter way for him in the outset is to begin
frankly. to save himself from future con-
tradiclion and modification. Whoever
succeeds tolerably we'll as an editor, is
something more than an ordinary man.
let his cotemporares think Of him as they
will.

EV An official rerurn states, that the
total number Of the British troops which
landed in the East prior to the breaking

killed. AMI ,648 died of their wounds

were carried off by sickness. The number

Parting Words.

We are partlng-we are parting.
We have parted oft befor:;
But twas with hope to meet again,
And that is ours no more.
o. could we meet, it would but be
To mark each other changed
To feel the blight of withering years
In hearts and eyes cstranged.
We are parting-we are parting,
o, let us bury now
The memory of our former love,
And many former vow.
Let Times effacing tide sweep o'er
Each mark so deeply set;
Where nothing'S left US Of the past,
'Tis better TO forget.
We are parting--we are parting,
Our paths mus. henceforth be
In search OF fame-;n search of gold
Severed OH land md sea;
Hou IistN 81 VIII weary wealth.,
That my wear the crown;
Both lonely, in the sun and shade,
In fortunes smile or frown.
We are parting-we are parting.
We were cradled side by side.
Neither will watch the others bier,
Death may still divide;
For one may join the angel throng,
To sing with seraphs high,
One may utter with the lost
The last despairing cry.
We are parting-we are parting!
Dark and gloomy fears
Are gathering thickly DER my heart,
Too deep to speak in tears.
We, that have loved, without sigh
Our farewell word hath said
Such partings-oh. they make the heart
Like marDle-cold and dead.

The Light at Home.

The LIGHT at home! how bright it shines
When evening shades around US fall!
From the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love. and rest and comfort all.
When wearicd with the tolls of day,
With strife Cor glory, gold or fame;
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanderer homeward HES,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies;
1t is the light at home; he feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
When safely through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that Danish care,
Around the light at home.
The light at home! whene'er at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm,
He feels no more the chilling blast
That beats against his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fed,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss;
But the sad tears which then she shed,
Will now be paid with rapturous bliss
Around the light at home.
The light at home. how still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls of day are o'er;
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart;
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart,
Around the light at home.
