ABOUT SECESSION.--A writer in The
N Y Tribune Of Saturday takes the fol-
lowing philosophical view of the secession
movement:
The failure to secure Republican
majority in the House Of Representatives
gives-to my mind, at least-a very toll
cradle aspect to the secession spasms Of
Alabama and South Carolina.
Suppose the secession Of those States.
and even of Georgia, Florida, and 1Iissis-
sippi, the only States whose secession is
among the possibilities. immediately
thercupon 10th lie Senate and Iiouye Df
Representatives become completely REpUn-
LICAN.
Congress and the President, wisely
acting upon your excellent idea of inac-
uvlty as To coercion of the sccedents,
will find nothing in the way of their
speedily passing liberal Homestead bill,
an effective Pacific Railroad bill, and Il
Protective Tariff act
''Then what can the secedents do to
prevent the business interests of the coun-
try from springing forward, in a career of
accelerated prosperity, such as will max e
the UNITED STATES the foremost power
and the happiest and most prosperous ma
ton In the world ?
10 me, the prospect ahead seems of
the brightest, whatever may be the course
OF South Carolina disunionists."

Filings Down South.

The Secession Movement in the Cotton
States remains in about the same condi-
ton that it was last week. The excite
ment is blowing over, and sober reason
will soon resume her sway. Although
South Carolina, Georgia and few other
Southern States seem determined to leave
the Union, it is probable that they will
wait until after Mr., Buchanan goes out of
office. If these States really wish to Sc
cede, they should strike while the iron is
hot-before the people have time to con-
slider the consequences of the jump they
arc about taking-for
IF they tarry till it's later,
They will never 90 at all"
We believe that the South will make an
extraordinary fuss for few days, and
then quietly subside.

Spirit Of Democracy,
THE ROYAL PROCLAMATION.


Ye nations all on you call;
Come heal this declaration,
And don't refuse the glorious news,
OF Jesus and salvation!
To royal Jews, came first the news
or Christ the great Messiah,
As was foretold by prophets old,
Isaiah and jeremiah.
To Abraham the promise came,
. And to his seed forever
A light to shine, is Isaac's line
By Scripture we discover,
Hail promised mornl the Saviour's born
The glorious Mediatorl
Gods blessed words made flesh and blood
Assume our human nature.
His parents poor in earthly store
- 70 entertain the stranger,
They found no bed to lay his head,
But in an oxen's manger, 1ae e
No royal things, as used by kings,
We're seen by those who found him,
8 But in the hay, the infant lay,
With swaddling clothes around him.
On the same night, a glorious light,
To shepherds there appeared
Bright angels came, in shining fame,
They saw and greatly feared
The angels said, "Be not afraid,
Although we much alarm you;
T Wedo appear, good news to bear, zs
A. now We will inform you.
The city's name is Bethlehem,
In which God hath appointed
This glorious morn, the Saviour's bonn
For him hath God annointed;
BY this you'll know, if you will go
To see this little stranger,
This lovely charm in Mary's arms, 7es
Both lying in manger. i ii .sss
When this was said, straightway was mad
A glorious sound from Heaven
Zach flaming tongue, an anthem sung,
'sTo man Saviour's given,-- s
In Jesus name, the glorious theme
We elevate our voices,
1t Jesus birth, be peace on earth,
Meanwhile all Heaven rejoicesl''
Then with delight they took their flight,
And winged their way to glory;
a'The shepherds gazed and were amazed,
To hear the pleasing story.
To Bethlehem, they quickly came,
The glorious news to carry,
And in the stall, they found them all,
Joseph, the Babe. and Mary.
aThe shepherds they returned again,
. To their own habitation,
With joy of heart, they did depart,
Now they had found salvation,--
Glory!" they cried, s'To God ON high,
Who sent his son to save us,
This happy morn, the Saviour's born,
His name,it is Christ Jesus

Leather Scraps.

The manufacturers of Feather, boots, shoes,
harness, whips, and port-monaies affords a
good deal of waste material that might be
turned to good account in village gardens
The shoemaker has always pile Of leather
scraps in front Of his shop-door. Sometimes
they lie several feet in thickness in the street.
These wastes are among. the most valuable
fertilizers for grape-vines, and for all fruit
trees. In some parts of England these wastes
sell as high As four cents pound. They
decay slowly In the soil, and like bone impart
their nourshment to the trees for longterm
Of years. In this country not one in q hun
dred knows any thing of their value The
shoemaker probably buys manure from the
stables, and throws moro valuable manure
into the street. Nothing can be easier than
the gathering Of these wastes. They can be
had in most villages for the carting, and the
owner is glad to get rid Of them. Put these
wastes around your vines and fruit trees, and
they will soon turn into purple clusters and

Arsenic In Agricultural Plants.

DR.. E. w. Davy has detected arsenic in
peas, cabbage, and Swedish turnips, which
had been manfred with super-phosphate OF
lime. This fertilizer is very extensively man.
ufactured in England, especially for use on the
turnip crop, from various phosphate minerals,
and from bones, by the help Of ARSENAL oil OF
vitroil. The arsenic, being thus proved to
enter vegetation, may very easily and nat
urally pass into animals, and be retained in
their organism. This is another striking,
presumptive proof of the worthlessness Of
that theological evidence which hangs a man
on the strength of minute traces Of arsenic
being found in working up several pounds Of
flesh and viscera.

Wet lands are always improvd by drainage.
1t is stated that at the home farm Of the Duke

years, and after being thoroughly drained,
were again laid down on the most approved
principles. These meadows arc now produ-

The American Agriculturist says: We
mean to repeat a thousand times, or at least,
till what we say have some effect upon our
countrymcn, that pound of lean, tender,
juicy, mutton can be produced for half the
usual cost of the same quantity of fat pork !;
that it is infinitely healthier food especially
in the summer season, and those who eat It
become more muscular, and can do more work
with greater ease to themselves than those who
eat fat pork. We know nothing more deli
cious than smoked mutton hams, of the
southdown breeds Of sheep. Venison itself
is not superior.
