Nothings in that contest, have since
1855 abandoned thatparty and limited

We believe the Democratic strength
Of this District is even greater now,
when thoroughly aroused, than in the
Presidential election in 1856. And
in our opinion the recent contest in
Virginia, has demonstrated the fact
that the Democracy Of Virginia,
when properly organized and arous-
Jed, are no less strong and invincible
than lin 1856, when we carried the
State By 10000 majority. But in
order to POLL the full Democratic
strength, complete organization and
unity Of purpose are Indispensable.
We hope to see such organization and
concert Of purpose in the contest Of
1860, and in all future contests.

How Drought Benefits the Soil.

"Dry and hot Hot and dry! How
much everything suffers for the want Of
rain p exclaims the farmer rs the empty
clouds melt day by day from his sight;
but chemical science shows us that
drought is one of the material causes to
restore the constituents of crops, and reno.
vate long cultivated soils. The "why and
wherefore of this we may here repro
duce, condensed from n paper by Prof.
Higgings, chemist of the State Agricul-
tural Society of Maryland:
The loss of mineral matter from the
soil results from the fact that it is taken
up by growing crops, and also carried
away by the surface water flowing into
streams and thence into the sea. These
two causes are always in operation, and
were there no sources of supply, would in
time render the earth q barren waste.
The dimunition Which arises from con-
tinued cropping is in part restored by
manures, and the same is true of the con-
stituents washed from the soil by surface
draining; but this supply is small, upcer.
tain, and of limited application and
Providence has provided natural means
to restore lost mineral constituents to our
arabic land. AT intervals, droug hts occur
to bring up from the deeper under-soil
food for the use of plants when the rains
shall again fall to dissolve and bring them
into action.
A drought acts upon the moisture in
the earth as follows; During, dry weather
continual evaporation takes place from
the surface soil, above that supplied by
rain and dew, which creates q vacuum
ESQ as far as the water in the surface soil
is concerned } that is at orlce filed by
water rising from the subso:l-
deeper and deeper as the drought eontin-
ues and the moisture is inhaled-a circu-
lation Of water in the earth the reverse of
that which takes place in wet weather.
This progress to the surface of tie water
in the earth manifests itself strilkingly in
the drying up Of springs and wells, and
streams which are supported by springs.
Not only is water thus brought to the
surface of the EARTH, but also all that the
water holds in solu ton. There are salts
Of lime and magne sia Of potash and soda,
or indeed whatever the subsoil OF top
strata of the ca nth may contain. The
water on reachin & the surface is evapo-
rated, but leave behind its lime and
potash, its pho sphates, silicates, carbo-
mates and salts all Indispensable to the
growth Of tie vegetable products of the
farm. Rain wi tier, as it falls, will dissolve
but very sma II portion of some of those
substances; b. at when it sinks into the
earth, it then becomes strongly imbued
with carbonic acid from the decomposi-
tion Of vegetable matter in the soil, and
thus acquires the property Of readily dis
solving minerals on which before it could
have little efaet-Scicntific Artisan.

THE ANGELS OF THE HOUSE.

IT'S said that ever round our path
The unseen angels stray,
That give us blissful dreams by night,
And guard our steps by day.
But there's an angel in the house,
Meek, watchful and sincere,
That wispers words of hope to us
When none beside are near:
IL is tho one, the chosen one,
That's linked 10 us for life;
The angel of the happy home,
The faithful, trusting wife.
'ris said that angels walk the earth
I'm sure it must be So
When round our path scarce seen by u.s.
Such bright things come and go.
Are there not beings by our side
As fair as angels are?
As pure, as stainless, as the forms
That dwell beyond the star? d.
Yes there are angels Of the earth,
Pure, innocent and mild;
The angels of our hearts and homes,
Zach loved and loving child.
