AGRICULTURE.
TURNIP CULTURE.

As but few persons among us have
experience in the culture of this root,
or are apprised of its vast intrinsic val
ne, and the season is near at hand
when it should have attention, we deem
it not inappropriate to throw out few
brief suggestions, in regard to it.
The soil for turnips should be such
as will grow good corn. 1t should be
rich and dry, and, with these qualifca-
tions, the more sand the better. Clay,
or wet soil are least adapted to its
growth.
Preparation.-We would recommend
the deepest and most thorough pulveri-
zation of the soil that the means at
command will admit Of; SOW in drills
two and half feet apart, according to
richness of the soil and the variety to
= be sown. If manure is needed, deep
furrow should be opened and the ma
nure bedded on, and the ridge reduced
by knocking it off with board, or by
passing roller over it. If to be had
conveniently, I would recommend the
using Of a drill-barrow, which accom-
plishes with dispatch-at one time pas
sing over the ground, opening furrow,
dropping and covering the seed and
rolling it smooth, pressing the earth
close around the seed, and thereby fa-
cilitating their termination. There
should be but a slight elevation or ridge,
when the sowing is finished; they should
be reduced to stand at two workings,
in q similar manner to cotton. The light
est cultivation that will accomplish this
and leave the ground well cleaned, is
best. AS to the distance to be given
In the drill, 1t must be governed by the
kind cultivated, as they vary in size
from one to twenty pounds in weight,
and occasionally much larger. In this
climate, the different varieties may be
sowed to advantage from the last of
July till October as also some kinds in
early Spring. With good ground, or
thin land, judiciously manured, crop
of from 500 to 1000 bushels may be
safely counted on per acre, and its val
no estimated at from one fourth to one
half o. much as the same amount of corn
II fed to cattle along with their dry
food in winter. The prevailing idea
that they arsan exhausting crop to the
soil, is erroneous; as it is plant that
draws largely upon the atmosphere for
Its growth and development; and not
until it begins to go to seed does it
work an injury to the soil.-Southsrn

SPEAK GENTLY OF THE DEAD.
ARCHIBALD JOHNSTON.
Speak gently Of the honored dead,
Tread lightly o'er their clay,
And never let they tongue deridc
Those who have passed away.
In awful peace and silence deep
They sleep-and who can wake,
Then let their frailties also sleep.
And none their slumber break.
Unfeeling he who draws aside
The veil death casts around,
And, mockirg at the helpless dead,
Attempts their worth to wound.
o, sacred is the churchyard dust
Then softly Ger it tread,
o, man, be kind, be also just
Speak gently Of the dead

4 FINANCIAL REVOLUTION IN EUROPE.

A financial revolution Of mora or less
magnitude seems to be impending in
Europe-one which, though it may have
but little i1n,ucdinto effect in the United
States. is, nevertheless, Of considerable In
tercst. because it threatens the subversion
OF iong-estaLhshed ideas and customs in
connection with finances. Two causes,
acting separately and Independently, are
regarded as likely to result in chang ing the
financial centre Of the world by at least
taking it awny from London. The first Of
these is, that the Government Of Great
Britain proposes to sever its connection
with the Bank Of England. At pres
ent the receipts Of the government
for revenue are held by the bank TO the
credit Of the government-ia reality The
same as the balance to private individuals
nccount-and this balance the bank loans,
Ms fast as it accumulates, 30 that the large
payments for taxes and a1l other revenues
are never in fact withdrawn from the cir
cuiating capital.
But Of late feeling Of opposition 10 tho
bAnk has grown up in England It is
charged that the policy Of that institution
is narrow, and that. ike Ill arbitrary "reg-
! ulatorsr OF the supply of money and the

the story only from hearsay, but be adds
that it Was generally credited at Green

and, secondly, because the sto:y That TINS

one. Il We are not mistaken it would be
impossible to leave the Colorado River ut
