WITH NOTHING TO DO.

What strange anomaly in creation
is a human being with nothing to do.
The most Insignificant object in nature
becomes him or her source of envy;
the birds sing in ecstacy of joy the
tiny flower hidden from all eyes sends
forth its fragrance of happiness the
mountain stream dashes along with a
sparkle of pure delight. The object of
their creation is accomplished, and
their:life gushes forth in harmonious
work. Oh, plant? oh, stream here in
man and woman are powers we never
dreamed Difficulties divine eternal
head to think, but nothing to consen-
trate the thoughts a hand to do but no
work done; talents unexercised, capac-
itles undevelOped, human life thrown
away--wasted as water poured forth in
the desert. Oh birds and flowers! we
are gods in such mockery CT life as

rHAcKERAY As A NEWSPAPER CRITIC.

Shortly before his death, Thackeray
amused party of literary friends by
recalling some early trials arising from
his brief connection with daily on
which he was engaged as literary re-
viewer. One of the first works submit
ted to the writer was Roscoe's Life and
Works of Henry Fielding, an author of
whose productions, with the single ex-
ception of Tom Jones, he was at that
time totally ignorant. Unwilling to
acknowledge his unfitness for the task,
the future novelist set to work, and af-
ter conscientiously reading every line
of Roscoe's bulky volume, sent in a
review for which he evidently received
a payment. that was poor remuneration
for the ten days of preliminary study
which he went through ere he took pen
in hand. Still suffering from the ex-
haustion consequent on tins ill-paid SER
vice, he was required to perform still
more Herculen labor. On returning to
his chamber from an afternoons walk,
ne found piled high upon his table, and
cnmbering all bis more massive furni-
ture, the entire series of volumes form
ing the new edition of the Encyclopedia
Brittanica. On his desk lay note from
his editor, requesting him forthwith to
review the terrifying array of closely
printed quartos. At this point of his
story, the narrator was interrupted
with the inquiry, "What did you do
with them?" "fhe only thing that an
honest journalist could do under the
circumstances, was the answer 81

ACTION OF LIME ON SOILS.

If there is one principle settled in ag-
ricultnre, it is that some convertible
salt of lime is essential to the fertility
of soils, and that certain crops cannot
be grown on a soil destitute of it,
When we consider the most favored
crop producing regions of the earth, it
cannot fail to be remarked, that the soil
contains portion of lime. A soil en-
tirely destitute of lime may produce
straw, but never good crops or graint
Lime loosens heavy clay lands, while
it renders more compact light and dry
soils. Mr.. Edmund Ruflin asks the
question, why the forest lands destitute
of lime are poor, while lime lands are
rich-each having been equally fertil-
lied by decaying leaves and trash, from
time immemorial? This fact may be
seen in Southwestern Georgia. Where
lime abounds, the soil is rich-where it
is absent, it lisa poor pine barren.
Lime, when applied to sand without
vegetable matter, makes mortar; when
to clay without vegetable matter, makes
mari. In either case, there is no inn
provement to the soil. On poor soils,
deficient in vegetable matter, feeble
results will be manifest; for there will
not be nutricious gases enough, after
vegetable decomposition, to produce
luxurient vegetation. Poor lands must
be manured as well as lined, before
they can be reclaimed. Laud havfnga a
thin coat of vegetable matter may be
enriched in time, by lining without ma
nure, if we are careful to give no more
lime than ouch lands can bear-a small
quantity decomposing and fixing the
vegetable matter in the soil as it aeeu-
mulates. But, if manure is applied to
the land with lime, lat different times,)
they are speedily rendered FERTILE

STORING POTATOES.

The surest protection against rot in
the potato, after being harvested, is air.
Stacked lime. Let the lime be spfink-
led over the bottom of the bin before
filling, and repeat the application on
each foot of potatoes as the bin Is filled
up. The quantity is what farnef
would call good sprinkling. Potatoes
should be excluded from the light, and
where convenient, covered with oldcar-
pet, etc. When buried out of doors, a
high, dry spot should be selected, which
can be thoroughly drained, and tItert
pursue the same course with lime as be-
fore. A vent must. of coarse be left in
the top for the escape of confined air.
