CHEMICAL EFFECT OF UNDER DRAINING.-A
paper on drainage by the well-known agricultu-
raj engineer, Mr.. j. b. Dentor, has forcible
paragraph On the result of this process, worth
remem bering: :. f cry one must have observed
how our cultivated plants, crops and trees,
dislike stagnant water; and how their roots trav-
ell along its surface under ground directly they
reach it. The existence of stagnant water i'm
plies the absence of air which is essential to the
development of vegetable growth in the soil az
it is to our existence above the surface, and there
tore we can readily understand how essential II
is to render the depths of the soil which our
plants require for their perfect Development,
percolative permeable, free or active. Thil
is not only required because roots will not pene-
trate bed of stagnant water, and will prosper
organic AMI inorganic ingredients which require
alterations only to be effected by the absorption
of gases rom the atmosphere. By drainage you
not only afford to plants the deeper to sustain
them, at the rate of 100 tons per acre for every
inch of depth gained, but you correct the inhu-
ence of injurious constituents of the soil; and
what is more, you carry into the deepened bed
those iertiliziDg ingredients which are constantly
associated with fresh air and moving water"

The TRICHINA CASE IN DBTRoIT.-The Chicago
Journal says the case of trichIna in Detroit 1.-THE
only one believed to have taken place in this
country proves on investigation to have been an
exotic The victim German woman who
had been infected before she left her native coun-
try. 4" After her death post norton examln-
alton was held, which has resulted in proving,
beyond doubt, that the disease was trichina.
A small portion of flesh, about the size OF PIN
head, was examined through a microscope, and
found to contain large numbers of animalculas
wound round and imbedded IN the fbres of The
muscle, exactly similar in appearance to the
trichina spiralis. Meantime people are very
shy of pork-sO much SO as to seriously affect
the markets. The Chicago papers inform US
that load of pork put on sale at Peoria, Hi
nois, last week, was examined mlcroscopically,
and two OF the hogs were alive with trichine.
Dressed hogs examined at Dixon were also dis
covered to be inhabited by these intinitessimal
creatures. The St. Louis papers OF Saturday
announce the poisoning of two families in that
city from eating . diseased pork, though no
attempt appears to have been made To identity
the death of these persons by trIchinas. There
are, however, people who have great power OF
inferrng, and consequently the unusral preJu-
dice against the - uncieau animal Of The Scrip
ture.'

.Breethings of Spring.


80 Thou givest flowers, thou gvest me sonr-bring
back the love that have LOST.
What v.k.st thou Spring sweet voices tn. woods,
And reed-liks echoes that have long been mute
Thou bringest back, to All the soIitudes,
The laxks clear pipe & be cuckoo's viewless nute,
Whose tone seems breathing mournfuiness or gee,
Fen hearts may be.
And the gree, thee, spring-the joyous leaves
Whose trsmbings gladden. many . copse and glade,
Where each young spray . rosy flush receives,
when thy south wind hath pierced the whspery shade
And happy murmurs. running through the grass,
Tell that thy footsteps pass
And the bright vAteIs-they too hear thy call,
Spring. the awakener thou hast burst their sleep!
Amidst the hollows of the rocks their fall
Makes melody. and in the fore deep,
Where sudden sparkles az d blue CLEANS betfay
Their windings the day
And dovsrs-the fairy peoped world of flowers
Thou from the dust hast sent that glory Tree,
Cooring the cowslIP with the sunny hours
And pencing The wood
Silent they seem-yet each &c. though tful eye
CLOVIS with mute poesy.
But what awakest thou in the heart, Spring!
The human heart with all its dreams and sIghsf
Thou Ii at giyest back many q buried thing,
ResIorer Of forgotten harmonies
Fresh songs and scents break forth whereer thou ART
What wakest thou in the heart?
Too much oh there too much--ve know well
Wherefore it should be thus, yet used by thee,
What fond strange yearnngs, the souls deep CELL
tiush for the faces may see!
How are We haunted, in thy winds low tone,
BY voices that gene!
Looks Of familiar ove that never more
Never earth, aching eyes shall meet
Past words Of welcome household door,
And VANISHED smiles and sounds 0 parted feet
Spring. midst msrmurs OF thy Towering trees,
Why, why reyivoet thou
Vain longngs for the desd-why come they back
With thy young birds, and leaves and living bloom
oh is it not, that fro m thy earthly
Hope to thy world may look bebond the tonnbs,
Yes gentle Spring; dus thine air,

CAUSE OF THE Blue Color OF THE SKY.-It Is
generally supposed that the blue color of the
sky is due to moisture in our atmosphere, and
the idea seems to be confirmed by the intensity
of the color during the moist weather of SUM
mer, when com pared with the sky OF the more
dry weather of winter. 1t has recently been
shown by Prof. Cooke of Cambridge, in paper
read to the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences, that this view is correct. He has
found, by means OF the spectroscope, very
delicate instrument of analysis, by which the
most minute substances, even when at DIS
lance, can be detected, that the aqueous vapol
of the atmosphere absorbs most powerfully the
yellow and red rays emanating from the sun
leaving the blue rays to be transmitted, anc
thus accounting for the color of the sky. Th'
instrument also proves that the color Is due 10
simple absorption of these rays by the water
and not to repeated reflections from the surfac
of an infnity of drops, as has been supposed.

Instantly, with this apparatus, he

ladies, who stood on the edge of the

urged them to spring, and catch the

they hesitated. The negro lay calm

them safely to the shore. For an

REMARKABLE EsCAPE.-On the Ber-
lin side of the river at Montpelier
there was a remarkable escape on the
night of Nov. I'd. Martin Day had
been to the theatre with a young lady,
and at its close carried her home to
the house Of Mr.. Markham. As he
was helping her out of the wagon the
horse started backing, and backed off
into Langdon's mill-pond, the young
lady being caught in one forward
wheel, so that she was carried in too.
Day followed and seized her by the
hair Of her head, whereby he man.
aged to keep her head above water a
part Of the time, but was not able to
extricate her. L. Lawrence, a neigh.
Dor, was alarmed by their cries. jumped
from his bed, ran to the pond jumped
into the water, with nothing but his
shirt, on, seized the horse, which was
swimming down stream, by the head
led it ashore and the lady was saved.
Too much credit cannot be awarded
to Mr. Lawrence for his prOmptness,
courage and presence Of mind, as but
for the display of these qualities by
him, one or both must have persisted.
