ment Wendell has been suffering ter
ribly for months under the load of debt
which the publication of the Union en-
tailed upon him, the President. who
suspected him of worshiping after false
gods and of being opposed to his re
nomination at Charleston, having re-
fused to allow him the usual printing
patronage heretofore enjoyed by that
paper. That patronage consists, am
told and believe, of upwards of $780,
900 per annum, including the Post Of
flee blanks and the binding of execu-
tive documents. The profit on this
work is from twenty-five to thirty per

dollars year. The sale, as / under

And Then?
A youth told proudly his hopes and plans,
With his own strong hand all his future drew,
To the calm old man, earth-tired, heaven-bound
Who answered, from all that his great heart
knew, PEE.
Only these words, 'And then?"
With steady foot and a willing hand
will climb to Earth's treasure-hold
And claim my share of the wealth she boards
For her favored-the brave and the bold:
And then?"
And then with this wand in my happy hand,
I'll gather ber gems at will;
I'll summon each draught of her pleasure-fount,
Till it fail. or my goblet fill: A
"And thens'

From the noble old laurel wreath;
This I'll cherish and keep, tits old Earths choicest

ment.
Regular rotation of crops and deep
plowing are working wonders upon
some of the CID and long-worn-out
farms of New England! In the dis
cussions Of Maine State Board of Ag-
riculture, which met at the seat of gov
eminent in January, many of the dele
gates bore striking and uniform testi-
mony to the value of both these prac-
tees, especially upon lands that had
been cropped hard. One of the men,
bers mentioned field of fifteen acres,
+" badly bound out" which was plowed
three inches deeper than ever before,
and after an application of three BUSH
els of plaster of Paris, produced yield
of 600 bushels of oats. This is forty
bushels to tho acre. Another reported
yield Of s3 bushels shellcd corn per
acre (56 pounds to the busheD from
field similarly treated.
Results very like these could be OBJ
tanned from the old fields of Kentucky
which now grow nothing but sedge and
briars, if deeply plowed, and applica-
tion of plaster were substituted by
generous quantity of birn yard manure
or compost of which the base should
be stable dung and scraping from the
woods.
We have our minds eye now upon
and old field twelve miles from Louis
vile, which was treated in this manner
three years ago, and gave yield of
corn in return which more than paid
expenses. Without further preparation
il was seeded to grass sown upon the
corn stuble, and will, this coming sea-
son, be more than fair pasturage or
meadow, forone Of which it is designed.
The corn in this experiment was ma
nured in the hill
Our farmers complaints are without
reason. Every farmer who keeps
merely two or three horses, four or five
cattle, half dozen sheep, and dozen
hogs, if he will only litter his stalls,
pens, and barn yards, with the sheep
litter afforded by the woods short dis
tance from his dwelling house, in guam
titles enough to furnish his animals
with comfortable bedding, he can have
