American Instructions.

Since the close of the Revolution there
have been fvc armed Instructions against
the Government, and in each Of them there
has been political faction to uphold them.
What became Of the insurrcctionists and their
party friends? The first was Sbay's insurreo-
ton in Massachusetts,, supported by large
body Of disconteuted people. 1t was prompt
ly put down by General Lincoln, and no man
since has been willing 10 own his sympathy
with it. The second was the Whiskey Insur-
rection in Pennsylvania, This was put down
bv General Washington. Tho third was
the South Carolina publication in 1872, when
that State called out 1000 men to resist the
laws of the United States. This was put
bown by General Jackson, who would have
hung Calhoun and the other conspiriators but
for the mistaken clemency of Clay. Had the
Democratic leader of that day, Jackson, been
allowed to carry out his own views, there
would have been no yebelian, and no blue
lights held out to aid it. 1H
The fourth insurrecton was that Of Dorr
in Rhode Island. The "old wheel horses" Of
the Democratic party, men who have neither
sense nor sensbility to perceive and feel the
waves of popular patriotism were then sym
pathiziug with Dorr and his insurrectionists
Nay tho word Democracy went farther then
than it does now. 1t threatened to send
thousands Of men from Five Points to Rhode
Island to help Dor and his rebels get their
rights. They did get them. The bapreme
Court of the United States settled the prin

"All true lovers Of the country will rejoice

Special Propsssies of Lims.--Lime, or OK
ide Of calcium, is q white, porous substance
which is highly caustic, and possesses great
affinity for wator. Whom water is first added
to caustic lime, it first absorbs il and then
combines with it,; during this process grea,
heat is evolved. II slaked lime be exposed
to the air, i gradually absosbs carbonic acid
from the atmosphere, parts with some Of its
water, and becomes reconverted into carbonate
Of lime. ojs1q ris U .res
To what Soil and Plants IL is BEST Adapt-
ed.-Lime should be applied to clays, loans.
peats, &C., indeed, every firtiIe soil contains
lime. The only soils that do not require lin,
ing arc sandy ones. aud those deficient In or
gauic matter All plants which we general
ly cultivate extract lime from the soil. It is
usually applied to the wheat and barley crops,
also to pastures.
It's Mcds of duplication. The most usual
modes are to apply it in its caustic state, and
In the form of compost; the latter is tae most
expensive and perhaps the most efficient for
several other fr.iliziug substances are added
with the lime to the soil t.a aaH
i THE Duration Of its Fertility Its dura.
tion depends upon tie kinds Of land, the
depth Of the soil, the quantity of vegetable
matter it contains. and upon tho species of
culture to which it ia subjected. When the
land is wet or not we'll drained, il must be
frequently applied, aud in heavy doses. On
the other hand, when the soil is dry, a small.
er application at longer intervals will suffice.
The Chemical Effects. The chemical eff
fects Of lime upon the soil are chiefly the fol-
lowing: When caustic lime is laid upon the
land, it combines with all the acid matter it
may contain, and in doing SO, the soil is very
much improved; several CT tho compounds
thus produced enter into the roots, and feed
the plants. 1t also decomposes some of the
compounds Of potash, soda and amonia, by
which these substances are set free, and placed
within the reach Of the plant Another
action is to destroy the salts of manganese,
iron and aluminium, and to render them un.
hurtful to plants. It's presence in the ca, s
tic state ha'tens the decomposition of organ
ic substances. s3"a 1Iaa 5
