DETERIORATION OF THE SOIL.

The Baltimore Rurol Register says:-"In
this new country, upon which the first Euro
| pean settlements were made but a little more
than two centuries ago, go where we will, east
| OF the Allegheny mountains, we are constant
| ly meeting with old fields, worn into gullies.
or covered with sedge, and perfectly valueless
in their present condition for agricultural pur-
poses. In England, on the contrary, during
the last half-century, the crops instead of di-
minishing in quantity, have been increased in
the product to the acre by mere than so per
cent. Yet the land there has been under cul-
tivation more than thousand years. Now it
has been repeatedly demonstrated that by pur-
suing similar system, eur soils are capable of
raising as large an amount of grain or hay TO
the acre as those of any other country. The
remarkable decrease in our agricultural pro-
ducts which statistical tables indicate, can
proceed from no other cause than careless and
slovenly farming. The fatal defect in the old
system of farming with us was. that it did not
take into due consideration the injurious infiu-
ence excited by our climate Hpon surface con-,
stantly exposed TO an almost tropicaE heat in
the summer season. At an earlier day tobas-
CO was our staple production. IL was what
wheat has since become--the planters money
crop; and high prices and steady demand
stimulated him to cultivate in negligent
manner as many acres of ths plant as the num-
Der of his field hands would admit of putting
under the piow. A succession of crops taken
from the same held, without rest or intermis-
sion, speedily wore the life out of il. Fresh
lands were cleared. which were subjected to
the same ruinous mode of treatment, until in
the course of a few years, thousands of acres
OF as fertile soil as the world could boast be-
came but little better than a sterile waste
Where the fields were not sufficiently exhaust
ed to be thrown entirely out OF cultivation,
corn succeeded tobacco and shallow plowing,
and the sun, the wind, the rain, and the frost
acting continually upon the exposed surface,
completed the work of destruction which reek-
less tillage had commenced. II there had
been instituted, from the beginning, proper
rotation of crops; if ftap-rooted plants had been
allowed to succeed. fibrous-rooted plants; il
the manure OF the barn-yard and the wood
ashes of the house fires, had been husbs nded
If shells, or lime, or mari had replaced the al
kaline constituents which had been taken from
the soil by previous crops; if plaster had been
permitted to exert its singular influence upon
the growing clover, and if the latter, instead
of being cut and carried off the land had been
turned under it, those fields now looking so
barren and forlorn would have been more fer
tile at this day than they were when the plow
turned the first furrow in the virgin soii.''

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

Live for something, be not idle
Look about thee for employ
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for these has many duties
Active be, then. while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway,
Gentle words and cheering smiles,
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief dispelling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine falleth,
Ever on the grateful earth,
60 let sympathy and Kindness,
GLADDEN. well the darkened earth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary;
Drop the tear of sympathy,
Whisper words of hope and comfort,
Give, and thy reward shall be,
Joy unto thy soul returning,
From this perfect fountain head.
Freely as thou freely givest,
Shall the grateful light be shed.

CLOSING SCENES AT CHICAGo.-A Lincoln
man who could hardly believe that the "OId
Abe'' of his alteration was really the Republi-
can nominee for the Presidency, took chair
at the dining table at the fremont House, and
began talking to those around him, with none
of whom he was acquainted, of the greatness
of the events of the day. One of his express
sion was, 'sTalk of your money and bring on
your bullies with you 1.-The imm ortal princ-
pies OF the everlasting people are with Abe
LincOln.;' ssAbe Lincoln has no money and
no bulties, but he has the people, A servant
approached the eloquent patriot and asked
what he would have to eat. Being thus recall
led to temporal things he glared scornfully at
the servant and roared out, $50 to the de'il-
what do l want to eat for? Abe Lincoln is
nominated, and l am going to live on air-the
air of Liberty But in moment he inquir-
ed for the bill of fare, and then ordered ssa
great deal of verything''-saying if he must
eat he might as well eat ssthe whole bill.'' He
swore he felt as if he could ssdevour and di-
gest an Illinois prairie.'' And this was one
of thousands.

English journals record an instance in which,
upon the trial of will case, the witness had
the best of it. He was Mr.. Gale, and on be-
ing put upon the stand, declined to an
swer any questions until he had received his
fee. After a long wrangle as to the amount
to which he was entitled the Court ordered
that he should be paid, for time and expenses,
fl6. As another witness was ready, Mr.. Gale
stood aside but, on being again called and
questioned, declined to answer because he
had not received the money. The amount
was finally handed to him, and then the ques-
tion was repeated-when it appeared that he
knew nothing whatever on the subject. 1t is
needless to add that Mr.. Gale was lawyer,
and sharp one at that.

The FIRST VINE.-When Noah planted the
first vine and retired, Satan approached and
said, ssI will nourish you, charming plant. "
He quickly brought three animals-a sheep, a
lion, and hog-and killed them one after a
mother near the vine. The virtues of the blood
of these three animals penetrated it, and are
still manifest in its growth. When a man
drinks goblet, he is then agreeable, gentle
and friendly that is the nature of the lamb.
When he drinks two goblets he is like lion.
and says ssWho is like me?'' He then talks
of stupendous things. But when he drinks
more, his senses torsake him, and he wallows
in the mire like hog.

DOMESTIC BEARs.-Once upon time there
lived couple known far and wide for their
interminable squabbles. Suddenly they chang

patterns of conjugal felicity as they had for

to know the cause of such a coversion, asked
the guide wife to explain it. She replied, 81

POISONED BY SNAKE.-The AbbeviIle, S.
O., South, of the 18th instant, says that some
three weeks ago son of Peyton W. Bailey,
residing near Sylvan Grove post office, in Dale
county, being in the woods with his dog, sup
posed by the barking of the animal that he
had pursued rabbit to a hole under clay
root. Putting in his hand to feel for the rabbit,
he was bitten by snake: which had taken
refuge there. The lad, feeling his danger,
bound his arm tightly with one of his suspen-
ders above the wound, and ran for home, but
fell from the effects of the poison before he
reached there. His cries, however, attracted
the attention Of the family, and he was borne
home and whisky freely administered, until it
produced its usual effect. His arm, however,
below the bandage swelled, turned black and
burst, and after living two days he expired.
The snake was dug out and dragged from its
den, and found to be very old rattlesnake,
full of poison, large quantities being forced
from its mouth by the pressure of the rope
around his neck, used to draw him out.

Typographical errors come in odd some
times. The other day we were reading des-

great Victory may be achieved, and the coun
Try may be redeemed from the pernicious in.
nuences that are hurrying it to ruin. Amer.
leans! Republicans! Shall not all this be
accomplished?
HANNIBAL HAMLIN.-Hannibal Hamlin. who
was nominated by the Republican Convention
at Chicago for Yice-Presdent, was born in
faris, Oxford Co., Maine, in August, 1909
ana Is now in the 51st year of his age. He is
Dy profession lawyer, but for the last twenty
Tour years has been, for much of the time, in
political life. From 1886 to 1910 he was
member of the Legislature of Maine, and for
tnree OF those years he was the Speaker Of its
House OF Representatives. In 1S43 he was
elected member of Congress, and reelected
Tor the following term. In 1847 he was again
member of the State Legislature, and the
next year was chosen to fill vacancy, occa-
stoned by the death of John Fairfield, in the
United States Senate. In 1851 he was re-
elected for the full term in the same body,
but resigned on being chosen Governor of
Maine IN 1901. In the same month he was
again elected to the United States Senate for
slX years, which office he accepted, resigning
the Governorship. He is still a member of
the Senate. This record is an evidence of the
confidence with which he has always been re-
garded by his fellow-citzens in Maine.
Up to the time of the passage of the Kansas
Nebraska bill in 1854, Mr.. Hamlin was MEM
Der OF the Democratic party. That act he re-
garded as proof that the party, with which
he had been all his life connected, no longer
deserved the name of Democratic, and was
.reacherous to the principles he had so long
cherished. Thenceforward he gave his sup
Port to the Republican party, of which he has
ever since continued Il faithful and distinguish
ed leader.
Mr.. Hamlin is man of dgnified presence,
of solid abilities, of unfinching integrity, and
great executive talent. Familiar with the
business Of legislation, he is peculiarly adap-
ted, by the possession of all these qualities,
to fill benefcially for the country, and to his
party's honor, the high post for which he has
been nominated. The name of Hannibal Ham
lin Of Maine is fit second to that of Abraham
Lincoln of Illinois.

In the o. S. Senate, on the 2Sth uIt., Mr.
Hammond, Democrat, advocated the restora-
tion of high rates OF postage, on the ground
that the Post-Offiee Department does not pay
its expenses. OF course it does not, when
Democratic Postmasters, like Isaac V. Fowler
OF New York city, steal at the rate of $50 900
apiece. Wouldn't 1t be better to stop the
stealing rather than add to the taxes Of the
people We should think SO!

never deposited on any surface except it is
colder than the surrounding atmosphere. Most
dew is deposited in clear nights when the
