An old settler writes the following
substantial facts to the Burlington
Nowa) Argus
II see by the papers that some
writer's think they never saw such q
backward spring as the present, but a
little reflection will show the contrary.
The spring of ls43, when Miller
prophesied the end of the world. was
fully as backward as this. seemed
as though warm weather never would
come, and stock suffered for want Of
food. Again. the spring Of 1857 vas
very backward. The ground was
frozen solid till the last week Of April !;
then it began to moderate. but was
cold for the season. The leaves did
not put out-till the last week in May.
No apple blossoms till the last of MAY.
That spring the world was to have
been destroyed by comet. The
summer was rather dry, but everything
grew well, and produce and feed was
plenty in the fall. No frost till the
18th Of October, when ice froze one
half inch thick the same night. This
spring seems to be about as backward
as the two alluded to, and the Second
Adventists prophesy the end Of the
world in June next. Now, for the
sake Of better seasons. let prophecy
ing cease"

The Des Moines Register answers
the question. by referring to what has
been accomplished by q gentleman 10
Grundy county, Iowa. He ccmmen-
ced on a farm Of GAO acres. in the
year 1856, and his sales of produce
the last year amount to the very COM
Portable little sum of $4,000. But
we will let the Register tell the story
in its own way.
"He commenced BY pitching mus
lin tent on the centre Of his tract, i'm
mediately started in his "breaking
teams,' and put out what's called
crop of "sod" corn-and succeeded in
planting over two hundred acres in
this manner. This was fenced, only
by constant watching, but when the
harvest came, the corn vas sold for
lumber which put fence around the
entire farm in time TO protect the
next seasons crop. The following
season saw more Improvements. and
the plow was kept moving until over
400 acres we're put in annual crops,
and until the return had made their
owner abundantly able to build him
. splendid residence, tie finest and
largest barn in the State, and made
other improvements cortespondingly.
The figures given above show what
this farm brought its proprietor last
iear in produce alone. Other sources
Of income, such as stock growing and
speculation will increase this income
at least one-half. These figures speak
for themselves, and need no comment
from US. The farm is situated on
high rolling prairie. and from it can
be seen beautiful panorama twenty
five miles in circuit There are at
present thirteen miles Of fence divid-
ing the farm into different fields.
The barn is sixty by one hundred
feet; has twelve feet stone founda-
tion underneath it all affording splen-
did stabling for stock. On the wall
are sixteen feet posts ; the siding is Of
matched pine and the -roof-lO6 feet
long l56 feet wide running measure)
contains 5000 shingles. which with
the pine siding and finishing lumber
were hauled distance of fifty miles
ty teams-the barn having been con-
structed before the extension Of the
d. 4 s. G. X. r from Cedar Falls.

The Agricultural College.

In recent visit to this institution
We found that great change has
taken place in the general appearance
and management of the farm, under
the superintendent Of Hon. Fl. M.
Thompson. He has begun a system
attic method Of farming. which Is at
once visible to the most careless OBJ
server. The farm buildings and fences
are being put in good repair, the land
thoroughly cultivated, crops put in
the ground in good season, and the
fine blooded stoch we'll cared for. The
large young orchard which had been
sadly neglected, has been thoroughly
renovated and protected from the
destroying insects which prey upon
fruit trees.
The College Building is progressing
finely under the supretendence Of M.
Owens. who is directing a strong
force Of Carpenters, bricklayers.
stone-cutters. and laborers employed
by Mr.. Reickard, the contractor.
There is an immense quantity of lum-
Der, brick, lime, sand, cut-stone, &c,
surrounding the walls, which give the
visitor some idea Of the magnitude of
the building when completed.
The contractor has a steam engine
put up on the ground, which propels
the various kinds Of machinery used
in cutting out and fitting the vast
quantity Of lumber which is needed in
the structure. The walls Of the South
wing and main part Of the building,
are now up nearly to the height Of
the second story. and the stone work
Of the north wing is about completed.
The cut stone for door and window
caps and sills, 10 nearly all dressed,
the frames made and seasoned. Most
Of the brick and lumber necessary 10
complete the building are on the
ground, and the walls are going up
rapidly. The building will undoubted.
ly be completed before the first Of
January next, and next to the Insane
Asylum will probably b. the largest
and finest public edifce in the State.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
NM GARDEN.
BY EALPH WALDO EMERSON.

BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
If ! could put my woods in song,
And tell what's there enjoyed,
All men would TO my gardens throng
And leave the cities void.
In my plot no tulips blow,
Snow-loving pines and oaks instead,
And rank the savage naples grow
From springs faint flush 10 autumn red.
Ny garden IL a forest ledge,
Which older forests bound
The banks slope down to the blue lake cd &C.
Then plunge in depths profound.
Here once the deluge plowed,
Laid the terraces, one by one;
Ebbing late whence it flowed,
They bleach and dry in the sun.
The sewers made haste to depart,
The wind and the birds which sowcd it,
Not for fame, nor by rules Of art,
Planted these ard tempest flowed il.
Waters tha' washed my garden-side
Play not In natures lawful web,
They heed not moon solar tide
Five years clapse from food to cbb.
Hither hasscd, in old time, Jovc.
And oil the gods-nonc did refuse;
And be sure at last came Love,
And after Lo-e, the Muse.
Keen cars can catch a syllable,
As if one spa.e 70 another,
In the hemlock- tall, untamable,
And what the whispering grasses smother.
Eolian harps in the pine
Ring With the song Of the Fates:
Infant Bacchus in the vine
Far distant yet his chorus waits.
Canst thou copy in verse ono chime
OF the wood bells peal and crys
Write in book the mornings prime,
Or match with words that tender sky
Wonderful verse Of the gods,
Of one import, Of varied tone;
They chant the bliss Of their abodes
To man imprisoned in his own.
Ever the words of the gods resound,
But the porches Of mans ear
Seldom in this lew life's round
Are unsealed that he may hear.
Wandering voices in the air,
And murmurs in the void,
Speak what can not declare,
Yet can not sll withhold.
When the shadow fell on the lake,
The whirlwind in ripples wrote
Air-be Of fortune that shine and break,
And omens shove thought.
But the meanings cleave to the lake,
Can not be carried in book or urn;
Go thy ways now, come later back,
On waves and hedges still they burn.
These the fates Of men forecast,
OF better men than live to-day;
If who can read them comes at last,
He will spell in the sculpture, Stay"
