Book FARMING.-One of the most
practical cases Of book farming that has
comoto acknowledge is told us by afriend.
A young Maryland farmer, a reading man
and = working man, got hold of Liebig's
great work on agricultural chemistry soon
after its publication, aud become convinced
Of the propriety, Notwithstanding that his
farm was limestone land, of making a fresh
application Of that fertilizer. After a good
deal Of hesitation on the part Of his father,
the lime was tried, aud after being tried,
continued. The improvement in conse-
quenco has been such, that where five and
six barrels of corn was the outside, as much
as fifteen per acre have been made, aud
other crops in proportion. A debt, the in.
terest Of which they could scarcely keep
down before, has been paid off, and they
have bought field after field with ready
money from neighbors who could not afforC
TO buy lime, or agricultural books.

For the Spirit Of the Age.
The past, present and future.
BY wa. n. oNNEH.
The past what is IL where Is it7
It's but a fading dream
That does Ger swiftly from us fit,
Down LIES great ceaseless stream.
The past; where is it who can tell 2
Bright scenes forever gone,
Upon which our thoughts love to dwell
And wander back alone.
The present; what is it, to-day,
No time were giv'n to spare,
We too, must quickly pass away
And DO Of " those that we're"
Never! never procrastinatc;
Each day we should improve
We may be idling at deaths gate
To-day, think, act, live, move.
The future that before us lies,
What Is 1t? who can say7
Vain are his efforts, who e'er tries
The future to portray.
Sweet memory whispers Of the past,
And teaches US TO know,
That time cannot forever last.
For Death, prepare cen NOW.

board aud tuition. We will credit a limited num-
Der of first class applicants, when necessary, with
the entire amount of their board and tuition.
II. We will credit many other deserving appli-
cants with ali the expense of their tuition, except
E twenty dollars a year. If they will pay their
board, and twenty dollars, annually. on their tu-
ition, and furnish their own books and materials

balance until they can teach and pay it. Boart
is So per month, exclusive of washing. Suct
young ladies as prefer it, can do their own wash
