Rotation Of Crops.

The Country Gentleman says that james
Beatty and Sons, successful farmers in Cay
uga county, N Y, adopt the following ro-
tation:
Their fields successively lie in meadow two
years in pasture the third the fourth, corn
is planted on the sod, the manure having
been applied the previous autumn, and the
sod plowed just before planting. Corn is fol-
lowed the lth year by barley, which is seed
ed to clover by rolling. This clover is pas
tured with sheep, the pasture thus obtained
being equal to the expense Of seeding until
the following summer, when it is converted
to summer fallow for wheat. The droppings
of the sheep, and the crop of clover, furnish
an excellent preparation for this grain, which
is harvested the sixth year. 1t is followed
by growth of timothy and clover, which
constitutes meadow two years and pasture
one year, as already mentioned.
Undertaking and this rotation "have
more than doubled the crops in the aggre-
gate" during the last ten years.

A Hint to SOIdiers-II0W TO Have a
Warm Tent.

A soldier of the Second Rhode Island reg
iment, now in service in Virginia, writes to a
Providence paper the following account of
Yankee contrivance for adding to the comfort
of q tent:
A hole is dug in the centre Of the tent a.
bout two feet in depth and diameter. This
s walled with stones laid in soft clay and
covered at the top with the exception OF
small aperture for the introduction of fuel
For this aperture there must be close fitting
door or cover, which can be opened and closed
nt pleasure. Across one side of the tent
trench is laid and covered with wood and
earth, through which the cool air is conveyed
freely to the bottom part Of this subterranean
fireplace. From the top of the same and
across the opposite side of the tent, another
trench is laid and carefully covered with stone
| and EARTH through which the smoke and sur
plus heat is carried off. This is the whole
machine The merits of it are obvious. 1t
is universally practicable. 1t can be intro
duced easily into any tent or dwelling. The
economy of it, cost, only few hours work
for three or four men. The convenience Of
it: being entirely under ground, it takes up
none of the precious room of our small tents.
The utility OF it: it dries and warns the earth
within and even beyond the entire circuit OF
tho tent, and thus prevents those damp, cod
and unhealthy exhalations from the earth
which are probably the chief cause of i'll
health among soldiers. The tents are thus
also furnished with moist and genial atmos-
phere, the heat of which can be easily in
creased so as to meet the exigencies of the
coolest part of the season.
To realize the importance of this, you must
remember that the walls of our houses are
only thin canvass-that they are so read
lily penetrated by cold, or heat, or moisture
that the atmosphere within follows rapidly
the changes in the condition of the atmos
phere without. Indeed, SO far as this is con-
cerned, there is very little difference between
living under tents and in the open air. With
out some such centrivance, what, therefore
could persons do, who, until within a shor
time, have been accustomed to live in clost
and warm houses? had rather, it is true
r take my chance for long and healthy lif
, in open air. both by day and night, rathe
than in close room, and upon the bare eartl
rather than upon woo!len carpets; but thel
wisdom must be exercised, and time must b
y taken for gradual change. The effects c
= this expedient upon this regiment are easil
traced The cases Of illness from severe colo
: and intermittent or bilious fever, which hav
recently sprung up among us, are, l believ
, all in the tents not thus protected.

Death Changes.

Have you seen, my reader, the face that
had grown old in life grown young after
death? The expres sion of many years since,
los. for years come out startingly in the fea-
lures, fixed and cold. Every one has seen it,
and it is sometimes strange how rapidly the
changes takes place. The marks of pain fade
out, and with them the marks o age once
saw an aged lady die She had borne sharp
pain for many days with the endurance Of a
martyr she had to endure sharp pain till
the last. The features were tense and rigid
with suffering, they remained so while life
remained. 1t was beautiful scene to see
the change that took place in the very in-
start of dissolution. The features sharp for
many days with pain in that instant recover
ed the old aspect of quietude which they had
borne in health: the tense. light look was
gone. You saw the signs of pain 60 out
YOU felt as if suffering was over. 1t was no
more, of course, than the working Of physi-
cal law but in that case it seemed as ii
th ere were further meaning conveyed. And
so it seems to me when the young look comes
back on the departed Christians face. Gone
it seems to say where the progress ofage shall
no longer bring age or iecay. Gone, where
there are beings whose life may be reckoned
by centuries, but in whom life is fresh and
young and always will be SO. Close the aged
eyes. Fold the aged hands in rest-the
owner is no longer old!

Our hearts are with our native land,

Her warriors wreath is in our hand,
Our lips breathe out her story,
Her lofty hills ani vaIies green,
Are shining bright before US;
And like rainbow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving DER us.
And there are smiles upon our lips,
For th Sc who meet their foeman,
For glory's star knows no eclipse
When smiled upon by woman.
For those who brave the mighty deep,
And scorn the threat of danger,
We've smiles to cheer and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our songs are for her freedom;
Our prayers are for the gallant band
Who strike where honor leads them.

Wen twine for him an endless wreath,
Who scorns tyrant's power.

Of nymph's of Shannon's waters;

Though lords around them hover,
