Forgotten.
The following was cut from an Ohio
paper seventeen years ago. 1t has been
carefully preserved by one, who appre-
ciating its value, desires to have it re-
appear in the Independent for the benefit
of generation after generation
"Generation after generation" says
an eloquent modern writer, "have felt
as IRE feel, and their fellows were as ac-
tive in life as ours are now. They
passed away as vapor, while nature
wore the same aspect of beauty as when
her Creator commanded her to be. And
SO likewise shall it be as bright over our
grave as they are now around our path;
the world will have the same attraction
for offspring yet unborn that she had
once for ourselves, and that she has now
for our children. Yet little while and
all this will have happened The throb-
bing heart will be stilled, and we shall
be at rest. Our funeral will wind on
its way, and the prayers will be said,
and the grave-clods will be thrown in,
and our friends will all return, and We
shall be left behind to darkness and the
worm. And it may be for some short
time we shall be spoken of; but the
things of life will creep in, and our
names will soon be forgotten. Days will
continue to move on, and laughter and
song will be heard in the very chamber
in which we died; and the eye that
mourned for US will be dried and will
slisten again with joy;-and even cur
children will cease to think of US, and
will not remember to lisp our name.
Then shall we have become, in the
touching language of the Psalmist, for
gotten and clean out of mind

AYERS
Compound Extract Of SarsapariIIa,

the most effeetual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedals that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences,
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scroflla, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such EnUPrIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANrHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLA1Ns and BoIIs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIc and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYsPEPsIA, DEBILITY, and,
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in "inpwity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

ON COMPRESSION IN SPEECH AND
WRITlNE.

Talk to the point, and stop when you
have reached it. The flculty some pos
sess of making one idea cover quire of
paper is not good for much. Be COM
prehensive i'll what you say or write
10 fill volume upon nothing is a
credit to nobody. There are men who
get one thing into their heads, and but
one, and they make the most of it, You
can see it, and almost feel it, when in
their presence. On all occasions it is
produced till it is worn as thin as char
ity.
They remind us of blunderbuss dis
charged at humming bird. You hear
tremendous noise, see a volume of smoke,
bat you look in vain for the effects
The bird is shattered to atoms just
SO with the idea. 1t is enveloped in a
cloud, and lost amid the rumblings of
words and fourishes Short letters, SER
mons, speeches, and paragraphs, are fa-.
verites with us. Commend us to the
young man who wrote to his father,
Dear sir, | am going to be married.
ahd also to the old gentleman, who re-
piled: dear son, do it," Such are the
mon for action; they do more than they
say. ...
Eloquence, We are persuaded, will
never flourish in any country where the
public taste is infantile enough to meas
ure the value of speech by the hours
! it occupies, and to exalt copiousness
and fertility to the absolute disregard of
conciseness. The efficacy and value of
compression can scarcely be overated.
The common air we beat aside with
our breath, compressed, has the force of
gunpowder, and will rend the solid rock;
and SO it is with language.
y gentle stream Of persuasiveness
may flow through the mind, and leave
no sediment; let it come at blow, as
cataract, and it sweeps all before it. It
is by this magnificent compression that
Cicero confounds Catiline, and Demos
themes overwhelns -Fscbines; by this
that Mark Antony, as Shakespeare makes
him speak, carries the heart away with
a bad cause. The language Of strong
passion is always terse and compressed;
genuine conviction uses few words; there
is something of artifce and dishonesty
in long speech. =: MI
No argument is worth using, because
none can make deep impression, that
does not bear to be stated in single
sentence. Our marshalling of speeches,
essays, and books, according to their
length, deeming that a great work which
covers great spaee-this ''inordinate
appetite for printed paper which de-
yours so much and so ipdiscriminately
that it has no leisure for fairly tasting
anything-is pernicious to all kinds of
literature, but fatal to oratory. The
writer who aims at perfection is forced
to dread popularity and steer wide of it;
the orator who must court popularity is
forced to renounce the pursuit of genu-
inc and lasting exeellence.-Selected.

THE MYSTERIES OF CULTIVATION.

THE MYSTERIES OF CULTIVATION.
We talk of the culture OF the earth
without realizing the deep and wonder
full significance there is in the term
But when we have brought our minds
to understand, in some degree, what cul
ture has accomplished, we look forward
to still greater achievements than have
ever yet been conceived of, until those
plants which we now deem weedy and
worthless shall have given up their Sc
crets: and the true design and capacity
for improvement of every member of the
vegetable kingdom shall be Known
Nothing was created in vain: ''In wis
dom Thou hast made them all"
A little less than three hundred years
ago, tuberous root was found in the
mountains and plains Of Peru-the Sol
anuna tuberosun,-which belonged to
family usually considered poisonous.
1t bore small, gnarly, bitter, unpalat-
able tasted earth fruit. 1t was taken to
Europe and submitted to the process of
cultivation, when 10! its character had
changed. Instead of the original pro-
duet, there was now delicate, mealy,
highly palatable, and nutritious farm
aceous substance. 1t was cultivated by
roots and by seeds until some two thou
sand varieties were known. 1t became
the food of nations, and is esteemed the
poor mans food. This is what cultiva-
ton has done for man in supplying him
with the indispensable potato.
So in the floral kingdom. In Mexico,
half century ago, Swedish botanist,
Dahl, while roaming on botanical ex-
cursion, discovered another tuberous
plant, which bore large single flowers
Of an unattractive appearance, embracing
many colors and shades Of colors. Spec
linens of this root he dispatched to Eng
land. Cultivation again took up the
plant, and behold the Dublin dahlia, in
all its gorgeousness and magnifcenee Of
variety, is the result.
These things show, in remarkable
manner, the obligations the world of
mankind owe to the wonder and power
of cultivation.

Lamartine,s Opinion OF women.

sl.amartine's Opinion OF Women.
80 Woman, with weaker passions than
man, is superior to him in soul. The
lGauls attributed to her an additional
sense-the divine sense. They were
right. Nature has given women two
painful heavenly gifts, which distinguish
them, and often raise them above hu-
man nature-compassion and enthusi-
BY compassion they devote them
selves; BY enthusiasm they exalt them
selves. What more does heroism
require? They have more heart and
more imagination than men. Enthusi-
asm springs from the Imagination, and
self-sacrifce from the heart. Women
are, therefore, more naturally heroic
than men. All nations have in their
annals some of those miracles of patri-
etism, of hich woman is the instrument
in the hand of God. When all is des-
perate in national cause, we need not
despair while there remains spark of
resistance in woman's heart, whether
she is called Judith, Clelia, Joan of Arc,
Victoria Colonna in Italy, or Charlotte
Corday, in our own day. God forbid
that l compare those that cite! Ju-
dith and Charlotte Corday sacrificed
themselves, but their sacrifice did not
racoil at crime. Their inspiration was
heroic; but their heroism mistook its
IN; it took the poignard Of the assassin
instead of the sword Of the hero Joan OF
Arc, who used only the sword of defense;
she was not merely inspired by heroism.
she was inspired by God.

AGRICULTURAL.
PLANTING APPLE TREES,


Never before have apple trees been
/. 30 extensively planted in this section as
during the past autumn. Farmers are
beginning to realize that raising good
fruit is profitable business. The ap-
pie crop the past season was not as large
as in 1860, but the prices, notwithstand-
! lug the high rates of freight, have been
good, and it is said that the fruit grow
ers have realized as much profit from
their crop as in the previous more plen-
tifnl years. We hear of cases where
S400 an acre has been paid for Baldwin
apples on the trees-the buyer to gather
the fruit. E..s.., e., --ssr.s
An intelligent farmer few days since
told us that he was going to plant |, 900
Baldwin apple trees, and remarked that
his only regret was that he had not done
SO ten years ago. He had no doubt that
this and other winter varieties will COM
mand fair price. Even if they do not,
he thought, lit would pay to grow them
to feed cattle and hogs.
The varieties planted most extensive
are the Baldwin, the Golden and Rox-
bury, Russet and Rhode Island Green
ing.
There can be no DO lbt that the soil
and climate of Western New York are
very favorable to the growth of apples,
pears, etc. The fruit is exceedingly fair
and will always command good prices.
A considerable quantity of winter ap-
Piles have been sent from here to Eng
land. We have no doubt that those
who have exercised due care in assort-
ing out all poor and bruised fruit, and
in seeing that they have been carefully
handled, will realize handsome profits
from their investments.
Many apples are also sent from this
neighborhood to Canada. The variety
which commands the highest price in
Montreal is the Pomme Grise. It will
readily bring 81 SO to S. 90 per bar
rel, while the Baldwin sells for 50 so
1t is most excellent apple, but not of
sufficient size to suit the pop
ular demand with us. 1t is favorite
with all who judge apples by their taste
rather than by the eye. The Bourassa
is also popular apple in Montreal
Both these varieties bear we'll in this sec
tion and should be more generally
planted, especially by all who expect to
send apples to Canada.-Genm. Farmer.
