sUBsoIL pLoUGHING.


Mr.. Charles A. Peabody. who has this year
succeeded in making such an extraordinary
crop Of cotton in region burnt out by drought
ATTRIBUTES the thriitness of his crop chiefly
to subsoil pIoughing. This is no new idea
with Mr.. Peabody, as we find BY reference
to the Soil Of The South, Of which he was the
Horticultural Editor. In the number Of that
periodical for October, 1856, we find the
following editorial in answer to the question
{" Why are gardens more productive than
fieldsi"
Because in many instances the gardener
has unwittingly sub-soiled his garden with
the spade. There are frequently good crops
Of vegetables made in ocr dry burning sum
mers.
What think you, kind reader, has produ.
ced theses Not manure alone, for unless
the manure was buried deep in the soil he
fore the seeds were planted, il had proved
an injury.
The gardener is anxious to get an early
garden, his measures are applied early, and
as the patch is too small TO pillow, il is turn
ed under with the spade. Now had il been
trenched two spades deep it would have pro.
duced better; and as the truck is small, the
hoe is substituted for the plow in the after
culture. Aud this simple and natural me-
thod Of culture is the reason why the garden
in dry season is more productive than the
field. When more general system OF sub.
soil plowing before the planting and surface
culture afterwards shall be adopted by our
planters, the crops Of the South will be dou-
bled from the same land We the past sea-
son planted some acres in corn; il is an un.
commonly productive variety. We subsoll-
ed the land thoroughly before planting the
seed, and never put pillow into the field al.
ter the corn was six inches high, but stirred
the soil frequently with the horse hoe, an i'm
pIement that answers all the purposes of the
pillow, without cutting the roots Of the corn.
The drought was very severe. SO much SO
that one OF my near neishbors cut up his en-
tire crop for fodder. MY corn has no doubt
suffered materially 10 the product. Yet |
have measured two acres, which have turned
me out one hundred aud eighty bushels ol
shelled corn 10 the twn acres. Now. although
it is a most wonderful corn, vet had we not
SUBSIDIZED the laud, and given it only surface
culture afterwards, we should not have real
iZed the crop that we have. Will il pay 10
cultivate a field upon Tie same principles Of
the gsrdenf Ii il is economy TO cultivate a
garden we'll. il surely IS economy to cultivate
field we'll, and this we believe to be the
true reason why gardens are more productive
I than fields.

GETTING TIME.

Some years ago numbered among nv
friends gentleman of high social position,
who was possessed of much benevoence and
kindness Of heart. He enjoyed uninterrupt,
ed health, and rejoiced in the prospect of
long lite. | often spake to him Of things
pertaining to eternal life. But he met all
my appeals with light words and his own
peculiar smiles. One day, in company, he
made remark so irreyerent, that | instinc-
lively drew ~ my breath with such force as to
arrest his attention. Quickly turning to me,
he said, in low tone with more seriousness
than he had ever manifested, 60, sup
Pose you think never care for these serious
matters that you have urged upon me; but
do think OF them-often think seriously
and when get time | am going TO read my
Bible and study into them"
Get time" and he looked earnestly AZ
me, as # to read the rush of thoughts that
swept through my mind. But l said no
more. aud with smile he turned away. Oh
had known that these two words Of warn
ing we're the last that | should ever give
him. | could not have have said to myself as
| then did, il can do no good 10 admonish
him.. Not long after. my friend stood upon
wharf, giving directions to men in his EN-
Ploy. He was in the strength Of manhood,
and the ruddy flush Of health was on his
cheek. But the winds Of heaven tore DER
rick from its apparently firm setting, ami the
ponderous shaft struck his spinal column,
crushing together the yitabra and silver
cord
SO he that could not get time to serve the
Lord was laid away in the tomb. Thus sud-
denly did his time OF probation cease. And
with many equally solemn warnings before
them, how many continue to delay The most
important action of their lives. " Now is
the accepted time"

THE PROMPT CLERK.-I once knew Young
man, said an eminent preacher. who was com
mencing life as clerk. One day his en-
ployer said 10 him, Now tomorrow that
cargo Of cotton must be got out and weigt.
ed, and we must have regular account Of
it,
lie was young mau Of energy. This
was the hrst time he had been intrusted to
superntend the execution Of this work: he
made his arrangements over night, spoke to
the men about their carts aud horses, aud.
resolving TO begin very early 10 the morning.
instructed all the laborers TO be there at halt
past four o'clock. SO they set TO work, and
the thing was done; and at about ten or
eleven o'clock ia the day, his employer came
10, and, seeing him seated in the counting
roon, looked very blank, supposing that his
commands had not been executed,
:" thought" said he. " you were reqnes-
ted 10 get out that cargo Of cotton this morn
ing
.lt Is all done" replied the young clerk.
and here Is the account Of it."
lie never looked behind from that moment
never! Ills character was fixed and con-
iidenre was established. lie was found to
be the man to do the thing with promptness.
lie very soon came 10 be the one who
could not be spared--he was as necessary TO
the firm as any one Of the partners. lie was
a religious man, and went through a life Of
Of great benevUenee, aud at his death was
able To leave his children an amp le fortune.

When he had arrived at the age of thirty four
years, he hit upon plan to obtain bis free
dom. He became acquainted with Mr.. John
Brandeburg, a merchant in Stanton, to whom
he made proposition that he (Brandeburgl
should purchase him and hire him out, and a
certain portion of his wages should go towards
the amount paid for his purchase. The mer-
chant acceded to his wishes. He Immediately
hired him out, and in four years hard labor he
succeeded in obtaining sufficient for his ran
som. But now came the hardest trial of his
life. He had a wife and five children, whom
he loved, and according TO the laws of Virgin
la he must leave the state within ten days, or
be sold back again into slavery He parted
with them, however, and went to Columbus,
Ohio In one year after his arrival, he was
able to purchase his wife and babe, for whom
lie paid $3.50. A few days ago he purchased
his youngest boy, Cornelius, who cost him

eighteen respectively, and boy, aged thirteen

This gentleman's second speech at Worces-
ter was a re hash of the first varied with new
personalities ; his audience as before, being
largely composed of democrats whose APP
pause was long and loud whenever the speak
er INDUCED in a sheer at the principles and
honored men OF the republican party, and that
was pretty often. In the course of his ha-
rangue he asserted that 2. Emory Aldrich,
Esq, had solicited his invitation to speak at
Worcester, from the republican committee of
that city, charging Mr.. Aldrich with a mis-
statement OF facts IN relation to the matter.
Mr. tucker, secretary of that committee,
states, in the Worcester papers, that MIR Al
drlch did not solicit the committee to call a
meeting for him, and was not with the COM
mlttee for any such purpose on any occasion
whatever, but that he Mr. Tucker was the
person at whose instance the committee called
the meeting. SO much for the question of We
raclty between Mr.. Thayer and Mr. Aldrch.
1t is well understood that the special agent
OF MI Ihayer TO get up meeting for him in
tltchburg, raised the funds tor that purpose by
something subscriptions of the democrats of
the place, without making any application
Whatever 10 the republican town committee.
Mr. George w. Gill of Worcester was in
tltchburg, as we are informed, canvassing in
behalf Of Mr.. Thayer. These signs indicate
very clearly from what sources that gentle
expects support, in case he fails of receiving
the republican nomination.
Mr.. Thayer, in his first speech at Worcester,
paraded a letter for Mr.. Hickman, as endors-
ing his views. The same Mr.. Hickman has
since made a speech at Westchester Pa, i'll
in which he says, that though he is in favor of
using squatter sovereignty to keep slavery
out of the territories, if that fails, lie is in
favor Of congressional intervention. The diff
erences between these two men is that, while
they have met on their respective paths, Mr..
Hickman is coming away from the slough of
democracy, and MIR. Thayer is fastening to it
with great speed.
Accidentally meeting Hon. Henry Wilson,
few days since, we mentioned to him the
boasts of Mr. Thayer that large proportion
of the leading republicans in congress endorse
his views, and that nOn-intervention will soon
become the policy Of the republican party
Mr.. Wilson Indignantly denied the truth of the
statement, and asserted that not one republican
member of congress is i'll favor of non inter
Vention or endorses the doctrine of Mr. rhayer;
and he added that the republican leaders every
where spurn the idea that non.interventon
will ever become the policy of the party
