From the Country Gentleman
NV YeFbGnaS.

MAY 2Sth. l have been completely
upset for the last three or four days, so
that l scarcely know eff he or no."
The first blow to my self-posession was
struck last Monday by a most extraordi-
nary announcement. Zone hundred Yer
benasr ~ And for me! Me, my own
self One hundred? l could scarcely
credit my eyes or my ears. But eyes and
ears at length carried the day, and the
next thought was one of mpatience-oh,
if Mr.. X. had but waited two hours, be-
fore starting for Rock Island, he might
have called at the express office, and ar
ranged to have them brought up. But it
is good thing to be obliged to curb ones
impatience, and have no doubt my char
aCter was considerably strengthened, that
day and the next; for on the next day we
sent down by the hack, and | succeeded
tolerably until toward five o'clock, when
we expected it back, not mentioning ''my
Verbenas" oftener than once in half
hour, l suppose, during the earlier part
of the day, nor oftener than twice every
fifteen minutes afterwards. How strain
and looked down the road, and came home
and sat by the window and watched
Five o'clock came. Five minutes-ff-
teen minutes-half an hour passed. Six
o'clocki and I then learned that my eyes
had not been sharp enough to see the
hack when it came, and that there was
nothing at the express office for me. An
other day dragged on; this time we did
not see the hack 60 down. The next dav
l had headache; but l heard the stage
90 by, and | said to myself, "no VERDE
mas to-day" So it was like an entirely
new announcement when | was called out
to witness the opening of the box. Talk
of the bliss of Loye's young dream ~
what is it to the thrilling ecstacy with
which caught my first glimpse of the
interior of that box! The very first
thing saw was the exquisite truss of that
little darling, the Imperatrice Elizabeth.
| had only seen Mr.. Sanders descrip-
ton of it, in the Country Gentleman last
winter, but knew it instantly. The next
thing that caught my eye was Shows
catalogue, and | forgot my headache for
awhile in sorting the kinds, and deciding
which should 60 in the bed which no less
important affair than such an arrival of
Verbenas could have induced the owner
of this pet piece of turf to have cut in it,
right under my window, my verbena win
dow
Now, all is satisfactorily arranged; l
nursed my patience in a most uncommon
manner, from the time of their first an
nouncement till these verbenas came,
then needed it just as much till had
them all safely in the ground, and now,
how can wait till they are in blossom

VOL. Ill. CITY OF BROWNNlLLE, NEMAHA Coz
Canning Fruits,

The following method is reliable, and
in every way superior to the old method
of putting the fruit in the cans before
heating, and then immersing in boiling
water. 1 have preserved in this way,
tomatoes, peaches, cherries, pears, quin-
ces, apples, and pumpkins for pies, and
find all to keep for two years as fresh as
when put up.
Select good, sound, ripe fruit, and put
it up as speedily as possible after It is
gathered. Peaches, pears, sweet pump
kin for pies, tomatoes, and berries of all
kinds, can be preserved for years if the
directions are observed:
Prepare the fruit by pairing, and ston-
ing, or coring, when necessary, and put
it over Il slow fire in a brass or porcelain
kettle--the latter is better as it does not
discOlor fruit--with sugar enough to make
sufficient syrup to fill all the cavities in
the can when the fruit is in. Have rea-
dy your cans, and as soon as the mass is
thoroughly heated through, skim out the
fruit and put it in the cans quite hot, and
pack it as tight as practicable. Then pour
in syrup till it is full as it can possibly be
to permit the covering to be soldred on.
used round tin cans holding about a
quart each, with a round aperture in the
top from two to three inches in diameter.
have circular pieces of tin cut little
larger than the aperture in the cans, with
hole punched in the center of each. As
soon as the can is filled, solder the piece
of tin over the aperture, then drop of
solder over the little hole in the center,
and the thing is done. / think the old
fashioned tin cans, soldered as | have de-
scribed, the most reliable, though it is,
perhaps, a little more trouble to use them
than some of the self-sealing cans, as they
are called. The object is to have the ar
ticle preserved, thoroughly heated, and
to fill the can as near full as possible; and
if these two requisites are observed, and
the can then sealed, | think the fruit will
keep as long as the can remains perfect
ly air-tight. 1t is necessary, sometimes,
when the fruit is not sufficiently juicy
to form syrup enough to fill the cans, to
add a little water. Tomatoes need no
sugar or water. 1t is very convenient in
filling, to have a very wide-mouthed fun
mel that just fits the aperture in the tops
Of the cans; and it is best not to use the
iron ladle or skinner to stir or dip out
the fruit, as it will discolor peaches and
some other fruits.

Difference in Soils.

Soil is the earth wherein crops of ev-
cry kind are produced. The component
parts are argill, sand, water and air.
Argyll is the soft and unctious part of
clay Argyll and sand contain each, in
nearly equal degree, the food Of plants.
There are different kinds of soils, which
may be divided into four classes, namely:
clay, sand, gravel, and what is termed
peat earth. There is, however, another
kind of soil called garden mold, but, as
it is mainly of artificial creation, it can
hardly be ranked with natural or origi-
nal soils. Loan, too, has been consider
ed by some as an original earth, but in
reality it is an artificial soil, produced by
calcareous matters, and animal and veg
etable manures. In process of time the
strongest clay may be converted into a
loan, by repeated applications of the sub
stances just mentioned. Sandy soils may
also be converted into light loans by the
application of lime, chalk, mari and clay.
And even peat may be turned into black,
soft loan, and rendered fertile and pro-
ductiye,
A clay soil differs from all other soils,
and is tough and coid and requires a good
deal of labor to render it fit for bearing
artificial crops of corn or grass. When
once wetted it does not soon dry, and if
thoroughly dry it is not easily made wet.
When 1t is plowed in a wet state it sticks
to the plow like mortar, and in a dry sum-
mer the clods can scarcely be broken by
the harvest roller.
Sandy soils are managed with much
less trouble, and at an expense greatly
inferior to what clay soils require; but
the crops which are produced from them
are generally of smaller value. There
are several varities of sandy soils, and in
some, plants will not thrive, unless por-
ton of good earth is previously mixed
A true sandy loam resting upon a sound
subsOll, Is called the most valuable of all
soils upon which all kinds of grain may
be raised with advantage, and no soil is
better adapted for turnips or grass. San.
dy soils thoroughly invigorated with clay
and mari, by judicious management, vii
produce the largest crops.
= Gravelly soils feebly imbibe moisture
. and part with it with great facility. From
: the ightness of their texture, they are
t neither expensive nor difficult in the
means Of cultivation. They are usually
: barren, but by frequent application o
5 manure, and by frequent returns of grass
: they may be made fertile and prolific
: Deep blowing is essentially necessary, ST
t that the surface soil may be augmented
1 and greater room given to the growth o
r plants cultivated on them. If shallow
f plowed, it is either burned up in da,
or two of drought, or equally injured b,
2 excessive rain.
0 Peat earth, probably, is an artifcia
/ soil, produced by certain substances de
p posted upon the surface of the earth
Philosophers, however, disagree on thi
t point. By one it is called a primitiv
1 earth, by another a vegetable, whic
o grows and increases and continues t
increase tillit destroys all other soils; an
by third, that it consists of Hgneous an
aquatic plants. 1t has been said that on
Nebraska advertiser. [volume] (Brownville, Nemaha County, N.T. [Neb.]) 1856-1882, 1858-08-05

fourth of the habitable globe is peat or
moss earth, and it is, perhaps, surprising
that so little is known on a subject of so
much importance. This soil is friendly
to the growth of oats, if previously it has
been summer-fallOwed and enriched with
manure. A heavy crop of wheat, if the
season is favorable, may also be obtained.
AS to the uses to which soils may be
most adyantageously applied, it is requi-
site thatAlay soil be kept rich and full of
manure, which qualities it for carrying
crops of wheat, oats, beans and clover
Usually, clay soils require great industry
and care, and a thorough knowledge in
the dressing, to keep them in proper
condition. No soil is so ungrateful as
this one, if allowed to get into a sterile
condition; but if manured profusely with
an occasional sUmmer-fallowing it will
yield the heaviest and most abundant crop
Of any soil.
Upon light soils the case is somewhat
different. The facility with which they
are cultivated, furnishes encouragement
to keep them under the plow. Grasses
flourish the best, and summer-falIow is
rarely required. The best method, per-
haps, of procuring wheat, is to sow upon
clover stuble, which gives an artificial
solidity TO the soil, and is thereby rem
dered capable of sustaining this grain I'M
til it arrives at maturity.

Mexico.

The city of Mexico was much excited
recently by a decree of the government
imposing a forced loan of one per cent
on the capital of foreigners. Mr.. For
syth, the United States Minister, formal
ly protested against the enforcement of the
decree, and recommended American cit
izens 10 "decline to pay any contribu-
tions which may be assessed upon their
capital by the commissioners provided for
that purpose" The French Minister
sustained the action of the government.
The English minister asked time to con-
slider and advise with his government, be-
fore the contributions should be enforC-
ed. A letter from Mexico says: "All
classes of foreigners focked around the
United States Legation; and if it had
been possible to take oaths of allegiance
to the Star Spangled Banner, and to
grant protection at the same time, the
number of American citizens would be
much larger at the present time. A
correspondence took place between the
government and the British minister, in
which the latter repeated his request that
the law should remain imperative until
he could consult with his government, and
stated that, if the Mexican authorities
should proceed to enforce 1t, they would
DO so at their peril. The end of the mat.
ter was, that the action of the law wa:
set aside for three months, which is con
sidered as equivalent to knocking it OF
the head.-Defroit Free Press.

Labor Essential to Excellence.

Lord Brougham, has like Cicero, dis
coursed largely upon his art; and not
Cicero himself has insisted more strenu-
ously upon the absolute necessity Of in-
Cessant study of the best models, and the
dilligent use of the pen. His speeches,
a selection from which, in two volumes
has been recently published, are an evil
denCe that he has done both in his own
person. His familiarity with Demosthe-
nes is attested by his imitation of some
of his nOblest passages; and he is gen.
orally understood to have written several
of his celebrated perorations again and
again. No man has spoken more fire.
quently of-hand, or has had more mex
haustible supply Of language, knowledge
and sarcasm at command. He, If any
one, might have been supposed capable
of dispensing with the preparation he has
practiSed and enforced; and we could
desire no stronger illustration of the ex-
ternal truth, that excellence and labor are
never disjointed. In the speeches of Pitt,
Fox, Sheridan, and Canning, we seek
in vain for specimens of orator which,
when separated from the context, would
give an adequate idea of their powers,
and do Justice to their renown. Their
most perfect pages would disappoint those
whose opinion of their genius is chiefly
derived from traditionary fame. In the
cases of Lord Brougham, the best pane
gyric of his highest eloquence is to tram
scribe it. 1t is thus that he winds up his
speech on Law Reform, in 1928:
"YOu saw the greatest warrior of the
age-conquerOr of Italy-humbler of
Germany-terror of the North-saw him
account all his matchiesS victories poor,
compared with the triumph you are now
in a condition to win-saw him Contemn
the fckleness of Fortune, while in spite
of her he could pronounce his memorable
boast, 81 shall 90 down to posterity with
the Code in my hand ~ You have van
quished him in the field; strive now to
rival him in the sacred arts of peace -
Outstrip him as a law-giyer, whom in
arms you overcome! The luster of the
Regency will be eclipsed by the more
solid and enduring splendor of the reign,
1t was the boast ofAugustus--it formed
/ part VI INT Sldl6 III WulCL tlG ptIAu4eS
of his earlier years were lost-that he
found Rome of brick and left it of mar
bic. But how much more noble will be
the Sovereign's boast, when he shall have
it to say that he found law dear aud left
it cheap; found it a sealed book, left il
a living letter, found it the patrimOny of
the rich, left it the inheritance Of the
poor; found it the two-edged sword Of
craft and oppression, left it the staff of
honesty ana the shield of innocence"
Nobody needs to be told that this con-
clusion must have been labored in ad-
vance, because it is not within the COM
pass of human intellect to have sustain
ed the anGthesis in language so fehci-
tous and condensed by any extensive eff
fort.-Quarteriy ReUier.
