Providence.

"What strange Providercr, 5l.c5 moth
er should be taken from her children" Was
it Providence No; Providence had as
signed her three score years and ten term
long enough to rear her children, and SO see
her children's children but she did not obey
the laws on which life depends, and, of course,
she lost it. A father, too, is cut off in the
midst of his days. He is useful and Dis
tinguished citizen, and eminent in his pro-
fession. A general buzz aries on ever, side,
"What a striking Providence p Tiis man
has been in the habit of studying haif Of the
night; of passing his days in his efiice, Or in
the courts; of eating luxurious timers, and
cry day violated the laws o, which health
depends: Did Providence cut him OFF,
The evil rarely ends her, The diseases of
the father are often transmitted; and fee
bic mother rarely Leaves behind her vigorous
children. 1t has been customary in some of
our cities for young ladies 70 walk in thin
shoes and delicate stocking in mid-wnter
A healthy, blooming young girl thus dressed
in violation OF heavens laws, paid the penal
ty-a checked circulation, colds, fever and
death. "What sad Providence !" exclaim-
ed her friends Was it Providence. or her
own folly? Look at the mass of diseases
that are incurred by intemperance in eating
and drinking, in study or business by neg
lect Of exercise, cleanliness or pure air; by
indscreet dressing, tight lacing, etc.; and ali
is quietly imputed to Providence. Is there
not impiety as well as ignorance in this p
Were the physical laws strictly observed,
from generation to generation, there would
be an end to the frightiul diseases that cl.

make life torment or a .ia,. Itis the opiu-
ion of those who best understand the physi-
81, system, that this wonderful machine, the

The Demand for Illinois Lands.

1t is estimated that 100000 inhabitants will
be added to the population of Illinois the
present year. The demand for Illinois farm
ing lands has never been greater than it has
this season.
Much of the improved lands in the south
ern and central parts CT the State have been
and are now being sold to actual settlers
Where there are ten acres sold to spectators,
hundreds are sold to the settlers.
In 1850 the number of acres sold under
cultivation in the State was 5,029,543, which
has since increased to about 100000 acres
leaving still some 25,0OO,OO0 acres to be re-
duced to cultivation.
This enco uraging state of things is attribu-
ted to the fact, which agrculturalists general
ly are satisfied of, that Illinois is destined to
be the greatest agricultural State in the
Union. Her soil is richer and more produc-
tive, in the aggregate, than that of any 9TH
er State, and the facilities of getting produce
to market are equal to those of any State in
the Union.
The man who owns q farm in Illinois is
possessed of a mine of inexhaustible wealth,
and may we'll consider himself among the
most fortunate of carth's creature :.-.Monnt
Carmel Register.

Farmers Omnibus.

There is 5 pounds Of pure sulphur in every
100 pounds of wool.
Carrots consume 1919 pounds of lime to
tho acre turnips but 90 pounds
A cubic foot of common arrable land will
holm 40 pounds of water.
1t takes five pounds of corn to form one of
beef. Three and half pounds of cooked
meat will form one pound of pork.
To add one per cent. of lime to soil that
is destitute of it, requires 10 tons of Stacked
lime, or caustic, to the acre.
Clay will permanently improve any soil
that is sandy or leachy. Lime and leached
ashes will also benefit leachy land.
A ton of dry forest leaves produce only 500
produce ton of plants.
Clay, applied to sandy land, is far better
than sand to clay land. 16O tons to the acre
will give an inch in depth.
Pure phosphorus is worth from four thou
sand to five thousand dollars ton and as it
comes from the earth, it shows how scarce it
is.
A rich mould formed by rotting clover, is
worth more than the same number of pounds
of clover. 400 pounds of dry plants will
yield one hundred of mould.
Swamp muck, or peat, when dry, will take
up, without dripping, four times it's own
weight of water. Hence the necessity OF
thorough drainage.
Limestone sand retains the heat the long.
est; black, peaty soils radiate heat most rap
idly, consequently cools soonest, and is first
to experience frost.
The reason why peas, beans, and clover ro-
tate so successfully with wheat is, that these
crops draw comparatively very little SILICA
from the soil, but leave it for the wheat.
Mangel wurtzel consumes 160 lbs. of COM
mon salt to the acre. If it is not in the soil
in the form of chloric acid and sodium, salt
must be applied to the soil, or a poor crop
will be the result.
Guano contains salts of ammonia, alkaline
phosphates, and other mineral substances
necessary to produce the grain of wheat, but
is deficient in the elements necessary to form
roots and straw.
Wheat sown in December has ripened and
ready for harvesting by the middle of May in
Georgia, while that sown in September is
not ready to harvest before July in Maine
so that as many chemical changes take place
in Georgia in five months as in Maine in ten.
These changes consist in decomposing both
organic and inorganic substances, and in rem
dering them soluble for the use of plants

The UPPER Ten IN TRoUBLE.-The re-
vulsion affects to degree of which no con-
ception can be formed the fortunes and annu.
al incomes of the upper ten. During the
present year neither banks, nor railways, nor
any other species of joint stock enterprises,
will yield anything like their usual dividends.
People who have been living on incomes de-
rived from investments in those concerns will
be cut off from their accustomed resources
and thrown on their beam ends. This will, of
course, tend to diminish the business of the
fashionable hotels during the winter, and to
depreciate the value of real estate in the fash
ionable parts of the city. Houses in the fifth
avenue and in the squares will lose one half
or at least one third, of their former value
Mansions that year ago would have fetched
from fifty to sixty thousand dollars, will
PROBABLY in the next few months be sold for
from twenty. five to thirty thousand dollars.
The cheap bargains will not be confined to
dry goods and crockery.-Nsw York Herald.

The GAS LAMps.-Although the last three
or four nights have been very dark, not q
lamp in the whole city has been lit. While
citizens are being taxed to pay for the gas,
and lamps are on every corner, it looks ridic-
ulous for them to go about at night Nth lam
terms in the streets.
On Wednesday night several accidents oc-
CURED from this cause. On East Seventh
street, a team ran over some distractions in
the street, although the lamps stood near by.
and pitched the driver out ran away, smash
ing things up. 1t is wonder they were not
killed, as the night was pitch dark.
A team also ran away near the winslow
House, and as the driver could not 500
length ahead, ran into something, and broke
his wagon. A lamp had to be lit to enable
him to fix things up.
