The Anaerican AgrjcMtarist says
that some farmers keep their cattle
out as late as possible in the fall, and
even in the winter The pastures are
gnawcd very close, and even the after
math Of moving fields, as If they cX-
pccted never to get another crop Of
grass from them. This is very bad
husbandry upon any land. and esp9-
cially upon that recently seeded
with hcrds-grass. This grass, asis
well known to all careful observers.
has bulbou5 root, and the fine roots
that shoot out from the bottom arc
not as strong as the roots Of most
other grasses. 1t is, therefore, CX-
cccdinglv liable to he torn out by tie
roots by grazeing cattle, especially if
the grass is cut short. In a close crop
ped meadow where this grass has been
sown, nothing is more common than
to sec thousands Of these dead bulbs
lying upon the surface. We doubt
the economy Of grazeing a herds
grass meadow at any time. But If
done at all it should not 5e cropped

latitude.
The roots Of all grasses are design

and stalks during the winter. These,

alternate frccziHgs and thawings and
bring them cut in good condition in

saves now, he loses next season in
the diminished yield Of the pasture or

with Us instead oil against Us. This is
one Of the evils Of ovcrstocking farms.
The farmer is afraid that he has not

A TRuTHFuL PASSAGE.

We copy the following beautiful passage
FROM the speech delivered by Hon. Charles
Gibbons, al the National Union meeting, held
III Philadelphia, the evening of the h inst.
This is a war on our part for the poor man.
Because it is war for the maintenf ice Of tie
only government on earth that freely cnencs
to him aud his children the way to prosperity
and honorable distinction. The school house
- is. .frces Conscience is free. Every business
avenue is free. He finds no gates TO exclude
him from any Of the high roads 10 fortune or
TO fame. The doors of every profession open
at his summons, and his children are welcomed
at every portal. No privilege is deuicd him
that is accorded to the rich; no restraint i'm
posed upon him from which others are exempt.
Ii is here, under the protection of govern
tment now beset by armies in the South and
armies in the North, who try TO conceal their
hostility under the broad mantle OF Democracy,
that every poor man may raise, if he viii, TO
the full stature Of his manhood, and, a man
among men, a sovereign among sovereigns,
breathing The invigoraling air of liberty, may
dead his children forth, free as the Hedeed
eaglets Of the mountains, TO try the strength
of their pinions, upward ard still upward in
the pure atmosphere of Republic. The
career Of President Lincoln Illustrates the ar
gun,ent. Beginning life as poor and friend
less boy-as poor and frendless as this ragged
little hoy who stands before me; in carly man
hood a laborer in the fields by day. and a stu
dent at pight by the dim light of tallow
candle; then respected member of an honor
able profession; next faithful representative
in Congress, and now in the highest station on
.carth-the President of the United States of
America. If the poor man would fad bet
ter friend than such government as this, am
sure he must seek him in another and higher
sphere than any within the dominons of man
kind. And if he would find a worse enemy
than the party demagogue who seeks to divert
him from his loyalty by stirring up evil pas
sions and criminal prejudices against the friends
of universal liberty. who freely ofTr heir pro-
perty and lives for the defence of tie govern
nent he must seek him, Elt on earth but in
