FARMING WELL--The great difficulty
in the way of good farming iS too much
land Farmers are so hurried in the getting
in, and in the harvest of their crops, that
they have really no time to devote to the
improvement of the soil. Let any one visit
some Of the teu-acre farms in the neiphbor.
hood Of Cincinnati, and the truth will soon
become apparent, that more profit can be
made from ten.acres, properly titled and
manured, than can be realised from one hun.
dred acres run over in the usual negligent
manner. The occupants of these " ten acre
farms" are growing richer every year, while
many who occupy large farms barely "hold
their own."--Ohio Valley Farmer.

STRANGE DIsEAsE.-A singular and fatal
disease has made its appearance in Rhode
Island, which is thus described BY the Prov
ijence Post:
1t commences az little dark red spot on
the face or hands, with perhaps singing or
pricking p9in, on which spot there soon APP
pears pustule or vesicle, seated on hard
infamed base, in which is formed a slough
OF charcoal oackness, where modification
commences. The cases are attracting the
earnest attention of the physicians. The
only effectua mode OF treatment is sad to
be, to burn the pimpe out in its early stages
with hot iron or with caustic. In view of
the underlined nature of the disease, we
would suggest that it is eminently desirable,
if any one is troubled with a pimpe swell
ing Of an unusual character that physician
should be at once consulted before it is tam
pered with Although there is no cause for
general alarm, q disease of this malignant
type cannot be checked too early. We
learn by Saturday mornings paper that a
man died on Friday afternoon, in Providence
from the effects of this disease.

NEVER DEsPAIR.- Whether in the midst of
Affections decreed by Providence, or beset by
troubles OF our own conjurng, we can not
have better.mQtto than "never despairSH
! He who confroiits ebstaeles.sand ioalamities
| with the .spiSit of this motto fn.his soul, eau,
never be Wholly, overcome. thousand
plaguiug shapes fly nthas.f .,ef persistent.
courage, which drive the tYiifdl to wtetched- J
ness and DEATH Despair remedies no i'll,
rights no wrongs, cases no burthen. The re-
corded lessons of human experience are am
pie to show the folly of despairing. The
story of Bruce in prison, sick at heart and
well-nigh hopeless for himself and his coun-
try, until he saw spider in his cell return
again and again in fruitless attempt to spin
its web TO desired point, when finally, as
the fit reward of an undaunted will, 1t sue
ceeded in its obiect--this touching story, the
incident of which liberated u nation and gave
crown to hero, is an inspiration never to
despair
Suppose Columbus had despaired under the
rdicule of courtiers and the reflections of kings,
or when mutiny threatened to cut short his
career-a continent might have remained un-
discovered for centuries longer, and perhaps
forever. Suppose Washington had despaired
under the storm Of the Revolution, when even
the bravest might have found seeming warrant
for despair-our projected independence would
doubtless have been trampled in the dust. And
so of many immortal names of men who have
stood forth to vindicate the rights, and pro-
mote the welfare of the human race. All the
great army Of discoverers and developers, who
have suffered for truth and knowledge, in dun
geons or at the stake-dsrkness and woe to the
world, had all these desPaired when peril Of
life stared them in the face.
1t was just at that point where balf- breed
heroes despair, that the great heroes began
their grandest triumphs. The Romans had not
yet learned to despair, when the all-cOnquer-
ing Hannibal Numbered down the gorges Of
the Alps. Rome might be desolnted, but she
should be undespaired of while Roman sur
vived. This spirit has saved and founded
States--has won victories in the very jaws of
defeat. This spirit ruled the three hundred
who made Thermophyla glorious--was with
Tell when the tyrant's host paved the way to
Switzers freedom. 1t was the spirit "never
despair" that formed the first forl,rn hope,
and that will never cease to stand in the breech
where the noblest causes are redeemed and the
nobest triumphs won.
How many yield to pitiful obstacle and petty
glooms. How many, whose instincts are to
dependency, while there are sources Of cheer
left-how many, who despair without an ap
peal to hope. Do these know tho proverbs,
founded in wisdom-"It is always darkest just
before day." "There is no night without a
morning." "There's silver lining to every
cloud;" "Wait, and the storm will pass" "No
i'll ever was, but there may be one greater;"
"Trust in God, doing your duty, and fear not
the worst!' 1t is not only cOwardly, it is
wicked to despair. While there is life there is
hope, and woe unto him who plucks out his
life as refuge from despair.
