Do moi waste Manure.

Manure is worth more than money; be-
cause il will produce large crops of grain
and grass Grain and grass in turn will
produce beef and mutton. But money
never will do either. Do not allow the
rain from the roofs of buildings 10 wash
it away. Manure is the farmers revenue.
Mingle the horse manure and other man
ures together. The horse manure is dry,
and will soon become FIRE fanged, if col
lected in heap. But let it be mingled
with the droopings of neat cattle, and it
will absorb the moisture from that; and
both will be preserved, and make much
better manure, than if each kind we're
kept by itself. The subject of manure is
receiving very much attention among
American farmers; and those who make
the most of it, and apply it judiciously,
find they are always well paid for their
trouble, providing they have prepared
their soil beforehand, by understanding
it where there is an excess of water. Far
mers need to think more-talk more
read more-and plan more about manure.

About Salt.

Do cattle need it3 Sometimes they do
and sometimes they do not. Whether
they need it or not, and how much, if
any, depends upon their food and the wa
ter they drink, upon the soil and season,
upon distance from the shore and the di-
rection of prevailing winds, and other
circumstances, too many and too compli-
Gated for any mortal TO estimate. You
cannot tell whether an animal at any CIV
en- time and place needs salt or how much.
You must not undertake to measure 1t
for him; let him measure it himself
His instinct is an unerring guide. Place
salt within his reach and he will take It,
if he needs it, but otherwise not, and he
will take neitheEs too much nor too little,
but Just enougK.c There is one exception
TO this rule, and but one. an animal that
has been long deprived of salt, may pos.
sibly take too much when first introduced
TO it. But this will happen in but one
case in ten thousand; and with this
triAing exception, the only safe rule is to
keep salt always before animals, and lei
them take it when and IS much as they

Conntct I'm xunnery.

A Jewess of Lemberg, sixteen years cid,
disappeared from the house of her Pc
rents, and was said to have voluntarily re-
paired to the nunnery TO ,6pbrsce the
Catholic religion. The girl q still mi.
nor. The Jewishc ommunity protested
against this step, and the parents demand
ed that she should be restored. But the
archbishop remained inexorable. The
day before the baptism, the sisters, pa
rents, and some other relatives repaired
to the nunnery and demanded an inter
view With her. This was granted; in the
course of the conversation the gil ex-
tended her hand to her relatives through
the lattice. The latter would not let her
hand go, lest the nuns should sgain gAin
the ascendancy over her. A contest nov
ensued between the visitors and the nunS.
and the police had at last TO be called II.
But the girl returned with her parents.

EasI,ionabIe Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion Is a
greater transgressicn to the laws of wo-
mans nature, a greater injury to her phys
icdl and mental constitution, than the
hardships of poverty and neglect. The
slave woman at her task will live and grow
old, and see two or three generations of
her mistresses fade and pass away. The
washerwoman, with scarce a ray of hope
to cheer her in her tolls, will live to see
her fashionable sisters all die around her.
The kitchen maid is hearty and strong,
when her lady has 10 be nursed like sick
baby.
Ii Is sad trlth that fashion pampered
women are almost worthless for all the
good ends of human life. They have but
little force of character; they have still
less power of moral will, and at little physi-
cal energy. They live for no great pur-
pose in life; they accomplish no worthy
ones. They are only doll forms in the
hands of milliners and servants, 10 be
dressed and fed to order They dress no
body; they feed nobody; they instruct
nobody; they bless nobody. They write
no books; they set no rich example of
virtue and womanIy life, If they rear
children, servants and nurses do all, save
TO give them birth And when reared,
what are theyf What do they ever amount
10, but weaker soions of the old stock
Who ever heard of fashionable woman's
child exhibiting any virtue and power Of
mind for which it became eminent. Read
the biographies of our great and good
men and women. Not one of them had
a fashionable mother. They nearly all
sprsng from strong minded women, who
had as little TO do with fashion as with
the changing clouds.

aIr. vallandIghan.

No better or more apparent argument
is needed to prove the leniency Of the
Government towards its Northern enemies
than the fact that the neck Of the
scheming and rebellious Vallandisham
has remained 50 long unwrung. Not sat
isfed with the cold shoulder that has
been turned upon him by every sensible
and rejecting man in the loyal States, he
still futtels on the ground with straining
effort, ike the wounded vulture. 70 ale
7ate himselfagain into popular favor, and
pecks at an annoys. with power lesseninR
hour by hour, the loyal sentiment Of the
people. That dog has seen his day, end all
the petty snarling of his lawless and dis-
appointed ambition is Of no aysi.-The
verdict there can be no appeal.
His name will surely descend 70 poster
ity amid the scowl Of contumely and
howl of universal execration, as that ~
ture generations will find, as we do, the
necessity for penal code on our statue
books. What but treason would impel
man, nurtured By the best Of Govern
ments, to stir up the riotous mobs Of Day

newspaper Office was ransacked, to make

who, by language and conduct, are always
melting these outrages." We do not en-
dorse the action of mohs under any cir
cumstances, but there is always Just
and efficient law to appeal to.
Yet these proceedings on the part Of the
returned soldiers show one thing, that
with whatever sentiments they may have
entered the ranks, they there learned the
power and the meaning of the word tra&
tor. There they saw their own comrades
shot down, or, worse still. imprisoned IN
the filthy dungeons of Richmond, and
learned to love the Government that gave
protection and peace to their friends IN
the North. They learned what every
man must learn before the war is brought
to close, that he who is not for his Gov
ernment is against that Government, and
that tho people should not countenance
the efforts of those desperate politicians
who would consider nc sacrifice too great
that brought them again into the admin
istration of our laws.
The whole career Of this Vallandigham
has been stain and a blot on the AmeT-
lean nation. In Congress and out Of Con-
gress his tongue and his pen have been
tireless in an effort to stir up and divide
the Northern sentiment. Like Sampson,
he has thrown his arms around the pill
lars of our institutions, until he has
sprained his back in the attempt TO send
the whole structure crumbling down into
ruinous heaps.-PhI. Telegraph.

at Paducah, not the Idaho, "a we we're

further particulars of the raid on Padu-

who were on board, OF their money and
the best of their clothing, deliberately set
fire TO the boat and destroyed her.
Mr.. Oliver lost $50, his partner 500,

cook of the boat was robbed. Not over
twenty buildings were burned, mostly by
the Federals, 10 uncover rsharpshooters.-

the rebels in displaying flag of truce,
which caused slight cessation OF firing

A late London letter to the New York

You have heard much, and will hear
more of the depopulation of Ireland, but
curious changes are also taking place in
English populations. The entire popula-
ton of the country is increasing in spite
of heavy emigration; but it appears 10
be gathering into towns. London increas-
es at the rate of &C, 900 year. Many OF
the large towns are growing rapidly; but
the agricultural population is falling OF.
In ten wears the number of farmers and
glaziers has diminished twenty per cent.
The farms are larger in size. There are
4,000 fewer proprietors than there were
ten years ago. All the land in England
is now held by about &c, 600 persons, and
the number Of laborers has diminished in
fully as great proportion, partly by the
increase Of grazizg farms. sss
