CHANGE.
By ELLA H.


CHANGING, is indellibly inscribed on every
object beneath the broad blue canopy of Hea.
ven. The saffron tints which illuminate the
oriental MOI ming; the imposing beauty of the
noon-day sun the rosy clouds of evening. are
subject alike to mutabiity. The verdant grass,
the fragile flowers, the stalwart trees, the
blooming meadow, the quaking forest, the
dancing ril, the murmuring river, the foaming
ocean-all are changing. To-day clouds may
obscure the beauty of the rising sun to-mor-
row those clouds will have passed away, and
the brilliant luminary bursts upon our enrap-
turcd gaze in all its golden glory.
So it is in the intellectual, as well as the
physical world. The restless mind of man is
primarily as unsculptured marble, pliable to
any impression which the skillful artist may
choose to engrave-an impress which cannot
be erased, though the storm of adversely may
beat in all its fury. 1t is an incondite mass
till education tunes the hearts Tyre and rears
it to the attention of the great and good. The
untutored mind of a child is susceptible to
any magnanimity which the being of re1ec-
tion may wish to inculcatc anG that infal-
lible as the frail barque of humanity, and
fades only with the intellect. Line after line
is indited on the page of imagination and men,
ory, till the unthinking, defcnceess child be-
comes the thoughtful, powerful man of refine
ment, intellect, greatness, education and hon.
or. We, too, are changing we are fast pass
ing away; the thoughts, the feelings, the sem
timents that predominated over yesterday,
have fied and others, new and strange, which
rule our hearts to-day, may exert no influence
on action tomorrow. 1t is well that empires
and Kingdoms, forests and fields, flowers and
fruit, streamlets and seas, as well as thought
and opinions change. Were they always the
same, the human mind, fond of variety, would
soon weary Of the monotony. Now we may
bask in the sunlight of Friendship, and rejoice
In the smiles of prosperity and happiness; to-
morrow dark clouds may dim the lustre of our
social horizon; We may be called to shed the
bitter tear of sympathy or sorrow over the ru-
ins of some beloved object or admired friend,
to see our cherished hopes drowned in the vor-
tex of oblivion. Let us be preparing for a
more glorious, happier, better, greater
change, one that will sever the CALLING fetters
which bind us to Earth, try to forget the sor-
row, the wrecks of mutability in the past, and
live in the enjoyment of the present, ever re-
membering there are bright and elevating, as
we'll as gloomy changes in life's varying drama.

or prairie people, have cotton-headed or fax
en-headed children.
Low indeed is the lowest class of the white
people in the southern States, but nowhere
else have l found them so degraded as in South
Carolina. sPoor buckrah,'' s'poor whita
folks,'' are the terms by which the negroes
designate th,m, and in the ''poor" great
deal is meant in this connection. 1t includes
not only pecuniary poverty, but ignorance,
boorishness and general degradation. The
Southern negro never applies the word to any
who has the manners and bearing of
gentleman, however light his purse. sPoor
white man'' is an object he looks down upon
an object of pity or contempt
This sketch very well offsets the beggarly
description given by Southern journals of
Northern mechanics and laborers-with this
difference. The condition of the latter (the
mechanics) is too independent and prosperous
to be tolerated by the aristocratic feelings Of
the slaye-drivers who seek to drag them to
level with their slaves while the Sand d-hiiers
are the low, degraded and barbarian product
of Slavery domination-the remainder in this
problem of ssSouthern Society,"

AGRICULTURAL.

IMPORTANCE OF LAND DRAIyING.-We havo
recently travelled over considerable portions
of the country, says the Taiiey Farmer, and
noticed in many places that the wheat crop
has been more or less winter r-killed. This is
owing, in the first place, to late sowing, in con-
sequence of the dry, unfavorabc weather at
the proper time of sowing; and when winter
set in, the plants were small, with weak slen-
der roots; the earth has since been filed with
moisture, and the succeeding frosts have, in
some unfavorable locations, entirely killed out
the wheat.
The corn cropis very important one to the
American farmer. Upon the fiat and other
wise wet lands, corn is usually retarded in its
growth several weeks in consequence of the
excessive moisture in the soil during its early
growth. Corn is tropical plant and requires
great heat to insure quick and vigorous
growth, but while the excess of water is pass
ing off by the slow process of evaporation, tho
| natural warmth of the soil is reduced thereby,
eight or ten degrees, and the consequence is,
for the first month more the corn makes q
slow, sickly growth whereas, upon a drained
soil it starts vigorously with the commence
ment of warm weather, and becomes Well root
ed and far advanced towards maturity before
the drouth of summer sets in. What is true
of corn, is also true in greater or less degree
of other crops. 1t is an established philo-
sophcal fact, that every gallon of water that
is carried off by evaporation from the soil, re-
quires as much heat as would raise five and a
half gallons from the freezing to the boiling
point, so that it may be clearly seen that the
| immense amount of water that must necessa-
rily escape from such lands by evaporation,
| carries with it great amount Of heat, when it
is most required by the growing crop.
Within the last few years, there has been q
very marked improvement in the various de-
partments of agriculture in the United States,
and we know of none more important that now
demands the attention of the American far
mer than that of land draining. In few
States, understanding has been adopted to
some extent, and the result has been an in
crease in the yield of crops cultivated from
one hundred to two hundred per cent At the
prices to which corn and wheat have advanced.
and which are now likely TO be sustained this
| increase of product viii pay all the cost of
draining in from one to three years-frequent-
ly in one year ; nor is the increased produc-
tiveness all the advantages that result from
draining. The soil is less likely to wash and
run into the valleys during heavy rains, and
the health and longevity of the inhabitants in
the drained districts are greatly promoted. It
is the excess of stagnant water in the soil,
which can only escape by the slow process of
evaporation, that causes much of the bilious
diseases that prevail in our country during wet
seasons. Another advantage is, drained land
is better prepared to withstand the effects of
drouth than that which has been saturated with
water and firmly packed during winter and
spring.

THE SUNBEAM.
BIZ MYRgHA NAY.

BY MNRRHA NAY.
The Sunbeam came down on q mission OF love,
To this cold, damp world of ours,
/ saw it first in the garden walks,
And heard It 'Inolg the flowers.
Il come" it sung from the land above
The dropping flowers 10 cheer;
Pcrchance they will raise their hanging heads,
When they feel my presence here"
As it sang and danced saw them raise,
Each languid and weeping face,
And it kissed them all it passed
And beauty was in that place
Thus, methought, sunbeam from kind hearts.
The Earth $ dropping ones might save,
Ere they sink to rise again no more
In dark sorrows stormy wave.

Kansas, by am eyewitness,

We find in the Pittsburg Post an ac-
count of an interview between the editor
and "a gentleman who had just arrived
from Kansas" in which the future of
that territory, both in political as well
as financial point of views, is most glow
ingly depicted. It's informant, the Post
says. is a "frce State man one of
that class that "build up the institutions
and prosperity of a territory; )" and in
has opinion there is not a shadow of
doubt of its being a free State 4! Nothing
can prevent that ultimate result, what
ever attempts may be made to form a
slavery constitution. He says hat large
numbers of the settlers who came from
the South are in favor of a free State.
and so far as the Leavcnworth district
is concerned, the general impression is
that the introduction Of slavery is neither
probable nor desirable. He thinks a
large portion Of those denominatcd
" border rufians' are among the best
citizens, and will quietly acquiesce in
the calm decision of the people on that
question. He believes those Abolition
Aid Societies of the Eastern States nave
been the main cause of all the distur-
Dances. They have sent men there who
do not want peace, and their conduct
has excited a counter movement that
would never have been heard of but for
them. The great mass of the people,
however, are conservative, and want
peace and order, and desire to devote
themselves to their own affairs, and to
the development of the vast resources Of
that most beautiful of all our Territories.
He believes there will be in the Terri
tory by next spring two hundred thous-
and people. The tide of immigration
is principally from the North, Pennsyl-
vania furnishing a very large share, and
of a good and substantial sort.

Iowa ctiO9--DemOcra Vic
tOrV.

The Dubuque (Iowa) Express of the
9th ult. gives the election returns from
forty counties on the State ticket, which
show a Democratic gain of eight thou
sand, i've hundred on the Presidential
contest, when Fremont carried the State
by about seven thousand majority. The
Democratic State ticket has about one
thousand majority thus far, which will,
1T Is thought, be increased to about three
thousand, as the opposition strongholds
are all in, and the counties to be heard
from are principally Democratic. This
victory IN Iowa is an unexpected event,
taken in connection with the sub.
stantial triumph in Connecticut, at the
opposite extreme of the Union, will cheer
and invigorate the friends of constitu-
tIonal freedom everywhere. 1t indicates
that the sands of Black Republicanism
are rapidly running out, and that the
humbug will be exploded even sooner
than the most sanguine Democrats an
tlcipated. The responses of Iowa and
Connecticut to President B~uchanan's
inaugural, and the organization of his
Administration, will be followed by 9th
cr and more important Northern States
when their elections come off. The
year 1857 will witness a series of Dem
triumphs all oyer the North

The Poisoning Case.

The CIcUeland Paindeazer, whose ed
ltor has recently returned from a visit
OF some weeks to Washington, in refer
ring to the late poison sickness in that
city, and the concurrent testimony of
numerous physicians in all parts of the
country that the symthoms could only
have been produced by poison, refers to
the fact that the malady originally broke
out during Sir. B~uchanan's first visit to
the hotel; it ceased when he left for
Whcatland, and upon his return, after
a fortnight's absence, became again more
violent than ever. The President elect
was warned by anonymous letters, not
to eat nor drink in hat house; and I'M
der the advice of friends, although he
returned to the hotel from a feeling of
regard for its worthy proprietors, he
never broke bread or emptied a glass
there, until he took up his residence in
he Presidential Mansion. Occasional
visitors who did not board there but
used the bar, where not afflicted while
nearly all the occupants of the dining
room were nor or less prostratcd.-
The Phaindedzer adds
In France, az internal machine is
used to dispose of Objectionable person
ages; in Spain the s%tiletto; in the United
States, the ballot box has heretofore
been considered potent enough. But
since preachers have turned politicians
and pulpits belch forth their anthemas
upon political parties, calling on God
to destroy, as with the bosom o destruc-
ton, what they are pleased to term the
political hereties of the day, it is no
wonder that the followers of such infat-
uated leaders should become themselves
infatuated, and do literally Mhat God
prayfully had so often been called upon
to do. This they could do under a sense
of religious duty and justify themselves,
as obeying the behcsts Of those who
ing by his authority Saul prosecuted
the Saints ''even unto death" and verify
thought in his heart that it was doing
Gods service. The New England Pu-
hung Witches, killed Quakers,
and banished Babtists, all for the glory
of God. The same i%nfatuation exists to-
lay, and has no doubt exhibited itself
n the attempt to destroy the life of an
American President.
The design might not have been lin
ted to the President alone, for it is we'll
that the Vice President and
eading men of the party would natur-
lily con9regate where the President was
advertised to stop; and true enough, j.
Jones, Samuel Medary, and 9TH
+ friends of the President, partook Of
lie poison and narrowly escaped death.
While several others less distinguished
at the hotel paid the forfeit of
heir lives.
