HIS LAST WORDS.

death he called out in his delirium: "Order A.
z. Hill to prepare for action. Pass the infantry
rapidly to the front Tell Major Hawks" :"
Here the sentence was left unfinished. But soon
after a sweet smile overspread bis face, and he
murmured quietly, with an air of relief: Let
us cross the river and rest under the shade Of

out any expression Of pain or sign ofstruggle, his
spirit passed away.

WHY A ROTATION OF CROPS Is
NECESSARY.

writer in the Country Gentleman gives a
very clear explanation of the reason why land re-
quires a regular change of crops-a matter which
is SO much talked about, but little understood.
Speaking of the steadily diminishing yield of po-
tatoes in this country, he says:
The reason is not difficult of discovery. It ex-
lists in law of nature, embracing animal as well
vegetable organisms. These all have execre-
tory as well secretory functions. All throw off
effete matter and this eete is hateful to the sec
retory vessels on which vegetables depend for
their Development. Fmany crops in succession,
of the same vegetable, are grown, the effete mat
ter increases in proportion TO the nutritive, and
finally overcomes all efforts at successful culiva-
ton. The food decreases and the poison increases
with every crop. Ifmanure, general or special, is
acded to the soil, it increases the food, but does
not necessarily diminish the poisonous effete mat
ter One hundred years ago potatoes were but
little cultivated, and most grounds were left fresh
for their production. Then and long afterwards,
400 bushels was not an extraordinary yield.
Now the increased taste for its use, and ability
to purchase, have made it necessary that great
breadths of land should be used for its growth.
In consequence, not only has much of the land
tired Of growing it, but the plant itself has be-
come weakened to degree that invites destruc-
tive enemies to feed on its substance-to take
advantage Of its weakened organization. Hence,
the rot, so called, and other ailments. Mother
earth is good mother, but like her sex generally,
she has taste for variety in outer adornments
She will change her dress, even the most durable
of her fabrics-her forests. These are ever vary
ing in composition, and finally thrown off alto
gether for grasses. These again have their round
of varieties and in long course of years give
place to other plants Mother earth will have
her way, and those of U.S. her children who best
understand her requirements, will partake most
largely of her bounties.

MARRIAGE OF FIRST COUSINS The Com
missioners of the Kentucky Institution for the
education and training of feebie-minded chill
dren have just made report to the Legislature
in which they call attention to practice which
is quite common in Kentucky-the marriage of
blood relations. They add their testimony to
the abundant evidence already collected by ply
sicians and philsnthropists, that a large per-
centage of deaf mutes and of the blind, limited
percentage of lunatics, and no doubt much
larger one than either Of feeble minded or idiotic
children, are the offsprings of the marriage of
first cousins. The charitable institutions Of the
State are all the time filled with children whose
parents are SO related-some as many as four
from one fauily-and in the case of idiots, of a
still larger number in family. 1t is fearful
penalty to which persons SO related render them
selves liable by forming the matrimonial rela-
ton, and which they, in nearly every instance
incur The commissioners urge that as the
State is compelled to support the issues of these
unwise unions, they should be prohibited by
law

COMPOST.

A correspondent ofthe Germantown Telegraph
gives the following sensible advice: -s.rssi
"a majority Of farmers do not attach impor-
tance enough to the subject ofsaving and making
manure and compost To them manure and la
Dor are what capital and credit are to the mer-
chant. They think they cannot afford to pay
five and six dollars per cord for manure, and it
does seem high price; but one thing they can do,
they can take better care of what they have, and
prevent the waste of what is the most valuable
part. Many hog pens are bullion sloping ground,
the manure sinking away TO some drain and lost.
Now with proper care the manure of every hog
raised and fattened is worth twenty dollars to put
in corn hills. 1t is better not to let hogs walow
in the manure, as most of farmers do, with the
view that the hogs will work fine the course trash
generally thrown into pens. Make tight board
floor to the pen to prevent the leakage OF the
urine and manure, then throw in the absorbents,
such as weeds, straw, shavngs, sawdust, leaves
chip dirt, briers and in fact almost fine hickory
brush, clean the sly out once week, and throw
the manure into square pile exposed to all the
rain that falls, and in dry time keep the manure
moist by the addition of water, or cover with
damp earth to prevent the "blae blazes." BY
this arrangement, with ten hogs and plenty of
material, farmer will make near two hundred
dollars worth of manure ready for the land in
good condition, and have better hogs than if he
allowed them to wallow at pleasure in the mass"

DRYING FRUIT.

Drying fruits has several advantages over can
ming or bottling. 1t is cheaper; it may be adop-
ted on an extensive scale; the fruit may be kept
with less care and being several times lighter
than when fresh, may be sent long distances, or
to foreign countries, at moderate cost. When
fruit-growers shall learn that dried fruit from the
highest favored sorts, is much better than that
from the poor unsaleable varieties SO often used
for this purpose, the best fresh fruit of the
sort exceeds the other, purchasers will also be
willing to pay much higher price for the best
article. When, superadied to this, the fruit is
dried rapidly as to retain clear, light color,
and perfect flavor, instead of the dark, half fer
mented fruit resulting from slow drying in bad
weather, there will be no difficulty in finding
ready sale for all that may be offered in market
When abundant seasons occur, the surplus ahould
be saved by drying and may be kept another
year. -.
In some parts of the Western States, houses
are erected for drying fruit, and are warmed by
fire heat, by means of furnace with fue ex-
tending around the building, similar to that for
merly used for greenhouses. This fueis covered
with sheet iron. An ample ventilator is placed
at the top for the free escape of the large volumes
of watery vapor which rises from the drying fruit.
Trays or hurdles, about two feet wide, six feet
long, and three inches deep, with small strips or
laths forming the bottom, are placed in three
tiers, one above .he other, with foot or more of
space between them. Long strips scantling, laid
horizontally, extending the whole length of the
house, and six or eight feet outside, form ii sort

TAKING A WHIPPING.

The Western Morning News, an English
journal, has the following fresh version Of an
old story:
| Mr. Dickens, in one of his books, is very sat
rical on American journalists. He represent
them as turning every incident into a report
with sensation leader so that even when the
editor got thrashed for personalities, he at once
brought out special edition with the flaming
announcement, "The Editor Cowhided Again. !"
1t is not, l think, generally known that Mr.
Dickens was referring to an actual case, which
is tolerably notorious in America, and is told
with great glee by the person most deeply in
terested That person is no other than the no.
torious James Gordon Bennett, Of The New
York Herald, and it is thus he tells his story to
his friends. The Herald had for some time
violently attacked certain actress. One day
the lady's husband, himself an actor, came to
the Herald Office, walked up into Benefits
room, and said, care you Mr. Bennett?" 81
am,' was the reply; stake a seat" "No, sir,
will not take seat; you have nsulted my wife"
"Who is your wife?" Name mentioned. "Never
heard of her, "But your dramatic critic has
insulted her." "That is his affair" "But I
hold you responsible" and thereupon the angry
husband took the proprietor of the Herald from
his chair, flung him on the floor, kicked him in
the rear, rolled him over, kicked him again,
clutched hold of his throat, and left the Office.
What did the victim do? He called upon one
of his employees, wrote out an account of the
affair." caused sensation placards to be struck off
Fourth Edition--Atrocious Assault upon

table, and to pocket it," The next day when
the actor appeared upon the stage, he gree
ted with cries of "W ho stole Benefits quarter?"
and whenever he appeared the same cry greeted
him, until he and his wife were driven off the
stage and ruined. THAT" adds Bennett, "was
my revenge"

WIFE VS.. LADY:--It is certainly not 10 good
taste for gentleman to speak of his wife as his
lady, or to register their names upon the books
of hotel, as '.John Smith aud lady," or to ask
friend, GLOW is your lady?' This is all fash
ionable vulgarity, and invariably betrays lack
of cultivation. The term pife is far more beau
tiful, appropriate and refined, whatever may be
said to the contrary. Suppose lady we're to
say, instead of ''my husband" "my gentleman"
or suppose We we're to speak of ''Mrs Fitz Mau-
rice and her gentleman" The thiog would be
positively ludcrous, and its diverse is none the
less so if rightly considered. A mans wife is
his wife, aud not bis lady, and We marvel that
this latter term is not utterly tabooed, 10 such
a connection, at least BY educated aud inteli-
gent people.
