SPEAK PLEASANTLY.

We have read somewhere, that Language
was given to US that we might speak pleasant
things to each other )" but, alas how often it
is usel for other and haser purposes A kind
word, or even an affectionatc lock, is balm to
the wounded futtering heart, when it turns
toward you for consolation in the hour Of mis-
cry Were we to moderate our voice to a
slvery tone and thought only of the good we
see struggling up in those who surround us,
brothers and sisters in humanity, how much
like Paradise would this world become A
harsh. iliy7advised expression or adjuration has
crushed many an aspiring spirit-wounded to
the death many noble soul-and the utterers
have passed on their way, unconscious, per-
haps, or the evil they have done. Let US aim
then, at pleasant thonghts, and, above all,
pleasant speech for it is the langnage of the
angels, and has more virtue 10 it than wine of
Cypress, or balm of Gilead.

Some mention has been made in the papers
of q man by the name of Eldridge, who
died recently in the town Of Chatham, ou
Cape Cod, from starvation. This man lived
more than seuenty days without food or nour
ishnent of any kind. \ friend of ours, who
resides in Chatham, has given us some facts in
this extraordinary case, which. were they not
received from undoubtcd authority, would be
beyond belief. Mr.. E!dridge was uHdoubtcd-
iy insane, but there was method in his
madness such as has rarely been evincel by
any human being.
He was man in full possession of his
health and strength, aud his vital power far
exceeded that of ordinary men, which accounts
for his long endurance under the circumstances
to which most others would have much sooner
succumbed. He had often expressed his de-
termination to commit suicide, but acknowl-
edged his lack Of courage to do it in the ordi-
nary modes Of drowning, hanging, &c. Every
means that could be suggested by his friends
TO persuade him to desist from his purpose
we're used but to no avail. No stratagem that
coud be devised no force that could be used,
was left untried to supply the starving man
with sustenance. He successfully resisted
every effort to that end.
When asked if he was not hungry, be
would reply, o yes I could eat with as good
relish as ever" He would sit down by the
family, while they were at their meals, and
would look wistfulIy at the table, but nothing
could induce him to admit particle Of food
into his mouth. He would go into the cellar,
and, standing over the pork-barrel apostro-
phza it thus :" will eat you all up." He
retained his strength, during all the seventy
days sufficiently to walk about the house, until
the last fortnight, when nature finally sue
cu!nbctl, and he took to his bed, never to rise
again. He gave no reason for this singular
conduct, except that he had lived long enough,
and was Of no use in the world. 4 more ex-
traorciinary instance of strong selfwiIl and su
perhuman power of command over the appe-
titc probably is rot OF record.-Lynn Rep.

Drainage-Its Importance and Results.

The following is from one of the numerous
letters written by our correspondent, John
johnson, in answer to the many private inqu-
ries addressed to him. We copy it from the
Chester Co., (Pa.,) Gazette, to which paper it
was communicated by the gentleman to whom
it vas addressed Country Gentleman.
c. T. TAYLOR, Esq-In answer to your
question respecting the increase of crops by
drGining, you must be aware that it will de-
peBd wholly upon how wet the land is before
draining. For instance purchased ten acres
from neighbor of mine some fifteen years ago,
in order to get an outlet for number of my
drains. That land would not produce any
kind of grain, at least, not half enough to pay
the cost of tillage. My first crop, which was
corn, was very large one, and the proceeds
therefrom were sufficient TO pay the cost of
drainage, as the cost of land. On a field of
twenty acres which have owned for nearly
thirty-nine years, | could neither raise or win
ter wheat before draining; but my first crop
after draining, yielded over thirty-three bush
els to the acre, and that is great crop for this
part of the country. In fact, don't think it
was equalled for the same number of acres to-
been drained twenty years, and last harvest l
got plump thirty bushels of wheat per acre,
which was sown on barley stubble, once plow-
ed.
Ny neighbor, from whom bought the ten
acres above referred to, was greatly opposed to
drainage at the time; bnt when be saw the
corn and wheat raised on the land after thor
ough drainage, he commenced draining his own
land, with equally good success. Almost every
farmer in this neighborhood has done more or
less tiledraining We have great many tile
works now-I believe eighteen within about
six and hnlf miles from where write. Some
of the machines are worked by steam power,
some, by horse power, others by hand-and
yet a great many more tiles would be used, if
they were made. Some farmers are draining
with stones, where they cannot get tiles; ; but
the latter are by far the cheapest, because the
ditch for stone drains has to be a great deal
wider, and costs about double of those for tiles;
then, the laying of the stones cost twice as
much as tiles cost here. ...

what is . pemaeoeuea 2

The following from the Newark IN. j.
Advertiser we commend to our readers:
Why. what is a demagogue? Is he not ii
parasitic living on the public and sucking the
life blood from its body, which nourishes and
keeps alive his useless existence? He has no
industry, no profession, no vocation, no bust
ness, but that of politicians, selfelected TO
public affairs and shape them so as to reward
himself and his friends
He thinks of the broad. general welfare
about as much as he does Of Saturn and his
moons and so devourcd is he with his person
al interests, as to have wholly lost the power
of parceiviug even what those of the public
are and, in fact, does not believe 1t has any
separate from his own.
This trader on the public good exists
among us i'll great numbers, and deceives the
community by his tongue and pen as much as
ever ClGOn did and one great misfortune is,
that where demagogism fourishes, it Is hun
CRY weed, that fattens on the soil, and keeps
ont better growth. Honest, good men and
demagogucs cannot grow together. The fat
weed 0verpowers and chokes the wholesome
useful plant. What. for example, but the
spirit Of demagogue inspires men to hunt al
Ter the Presidency for Il series Of yeart, TO
live for no other object. and to shape all their
opiuions and conduct so as 10 catch the popn-
lar gale to blow them into power? Who
vii; say that the Ameaican republic also has
not its dcnagogues? What else dstracts the
nation at this moment? Let no such mann re-
eeive The vote Of New Jersey. Who is this
demagogue We have not named him, and
if any one supplied tnat Of Douglas it will
not be our fault.

THE BEST WAY TO ENDURE
HIATRTMONY

I suppose there is modicum of romance in
most natures, and that if it gathers about any
event it is that of marriage. Most people
marry their ideals. There is more or less fic-
tion and fallacous glory resting upon the head
of every bride, which the inchoate husband
believes in. Most men and women manufac-
ture perfection in their mates by happy pro-
cess of their imaginations, and then marry
them. This, of course wears away. By the
time the husband has seen his wife eat heartily
of pork and beans, and with hair frizzled and
her old dress on. full of the enterprise of over
hauling things, he sees that she belongs to the
same race as himself. And she, when her
husband gets up cross in the morning, and un-
dertakes to shave himself with cold water and
dull razor, while his suspenders dangle at his
heels begins to see that man is very prosaic
animal In other words, there is such thing
and while the moon-shine lasts, the radiance OF
the seventh heaven can not compare with it
1t is very delicious little delirium-a febrile
mental disease, which, like measels, never re-
turns.
When the honeymoon passes away, setting
behind dull mountains, or dipping silently into
the stormy sea of life, the trying hour of mar
riage life has come. Between the parties there
are no more Illusions The feverish desire OF
possession has gone-vanished into gratifca-
tion-and all excitement has receded Then
begins or should begin, the business of adapta
ton. If they find that they do not love one
another as they thought they did, they should
double their assidous attentions to one another
| and be jealous of everything which tends in
the slightest degree to separate them. Life is
too precious to be thrown away in secret re
grets or open differences. And let me say tc
every one to whom the romance of life has fled
and who are discontented in the slightest de
| gree with their condition and relations, begir
this work of reconciliation before you are
day older.
Renew the attentions of earlier days. Draw
your hearts close together. Talk the thine
all over. Acknowledge your faults to one an
other, and determine that hencelorth you vii
be all in all to each other; and, my word fo
it, you shall find in your relation the sweetes
Joy earth has for you. There is no other wa,
for you to do. If you are happy at home yol
must be abroad !; the man or woman who ha
settled down upon the conviction that he O
she is attached for life to an uucongenial yoke
fellow, and that there is no way Of escape, ha
lost life ; there is no effort too costly to, max
which can restore to its setting upon the be
som the missing pearl amothy 11tconab.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Look on the bright side. II is the right
side. The times may be hard but it viii make
them no easier by wearing a gloomy and sad
countenance. It is the sunshine and not the
cloud that makes the flower. There is always
that before or around US which should cheer
and fill the heart with warmth. The sky is
blue ten times where it is black once. You
have troubles, it may be. So have others
None are free from them. They give sinew
and tone to life-fortitude and courage TO man.
That would be dull sea. and the sailor would
never get skill, where there was nothing TO dis
turb the surface of the ocean. It is the duty
Of every one to extract all the happiness and
endowment he can without and within him. and
above all he should look on the bright side of
things What though things do look a little
dark? The lane will turn, and the night will
end in the broad day. In the long run the
great balance rights ITSELF What is i'll be-
comes well ; what is wrong, right Men are
not made to hand down either heads OF lips;
and those who do, only show that they are dc
parting from the path of true eommon-sense
and right. There is more virtue in one sun-
beam than whole hemisphere of cloud and
gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look at the
bright side of things. Cultivate what is warm
and genial-not the cold and repulsive, the
dark and morose. The Iron Duke was right.
Don't neglect your duty look to the bright
side; live down prejudice.

land requires draining, still, much more re-
quires it than any man can suppose who never
drained any. A good way to prove whether
land needs draining not, is to dig hole OF
holes, say two and s half to three feet deap
and if, at the end of eight or ten hours, water
stands in them, your land needs draining and
will pay for it In pro,racted drouths. how
ever, the water may be dried out of land which
at other times would be too wet for tillagc
Believing that thorough drainage is the
foundation Of all good husbandry, and that the
farmers of this country are but half awake, as
yet, to th2 importance of it. am glad to see
the increased interest manifested in the subject
III different parts Of the country. Twenty-one
years ago, l was the only man using tiles on
this continent, and there was but one person
manufacturing them; now, the demand for
tiles wherever a machiue has been erected can
not be met.

THE SECRET OF PRACTICAL SUCCESS.

Twenty clerks in a store. Twenty hands in
a printing Office. All want to get along in the
world, and all expect to do SO. One Of the
clerks viii rise to be partner and make for
tune. Que of the compositions will own a
newspaper and become an influential and pros
porous citizen. One of the apprentices will
come to be a master builder. One of the vii
layers wiu get handsome farm and live like u
patriarch But which is destined to be the
lucky individual? Lucky? There is no luck
about it. The thing is almost as certain as the
Rule of Three. The young fellow who will
distance his competitors is he who masters his
business, who preserves his integrity, who lives
cleanly and purely, who never gets in debt, who
gains friends by deserving them, and puts his
money in savings bank. There are some
ways to fortune that look shorter than this old
dusty highway. But the staunch men of the
community the men who achieve something
really worth having, good fortune, good name,
and a serene old age-all go this road.
