DEAR S1n-Below find replies to your enquiries
as to the kind of manure used by me- and how
much, and to what crop applied, &c. l used o
mixture of Soluble Pacific and B Phosphate on a
rather sandy soil, on cotton, applying it ct the rate
of about 200 lbs. to the acre, about the lst Of
April, putting it in the drill and bedding on it as
we do with barn yard manure. We had the early
part of the season wet and afterwards drought
Of about five weeks, commencing about 18th July
Its application has doubled the crop, and believe
that, had applied double the quantity, it would
have paid in proportion. Yours, Sc,
P.S.-Mr. Ford is good planter, and has paid
more attention to the results than was in my power
to do. . THOMAS IL. MCCANN.

still OH the sunny side OF forty, asserts lnaI
the average Of all the time he has been able
to devote to study during his life has been
considerably less than tive hours per day.
Let any mechanic at the age of twenty con-
slider how much advantage the above ac-
ouirements would be to him at the age OF
thirty, should he obtain them, and then go
to work and get them. The requisite books
can be obtained for less than many young
man spends for cigars during six months.
Twelve years since We were in a ma
chine.shop in the centre of New York
State, where we were having model con-
structed. The young man to whom the
foreman and proprietor had assigned the
work attracted our attention from some.re-
marks which seemed TO indicate q higher
state ofcultivation than is usually met with
in young men occupying similar positions.
Thereupon we set ourselves to draw him
out We found him familiar with the high
cr mathematics, an expert draughtsman,
and thoroughly posted in natural philoso-
phy and the chemistry of the metals. He
had commenced French and German. All
these accomplishments were the reward of
evening study, pursued steadily since the
date of his apprenticeship, commenced at
the age of sixteen. This young man was
at that time just past twenty.one, in ap-
parently perfect mental, moral, and physi-
cal health. He has since risen by successive
steps to foreman, and is now partner in
the same establishment, man of wealth
and influence.
The essential character of recreation is
that it transfers the strain from one part
of the vital machinery which needs rest to
another that does not, thus equalizing
wear. But the human system is not like
lathe or steam engine, incapable OF re-
pairing itself. AS soon as rest rs given to
any part of it, if healthy, it commences to
repair itself. But a condition Of perfect
rest is that the mind shall be wholly with
drawn from the. consideration OF fatigue,
that toll should be forgotten in the absorb
ing character of the recreative occupation.
What, we ask, is better calculated to ac-
complish this result than proper course
of study ?-,SicntJfc american,

of rocks and projecting spurs of ice,
he broke his fall, so that he reached
the bottom alive, but only to face
death in more terrible form. On
either hand the icy walls rose up to-
wards heaven, above which he saw
only a strip of blue sky. At his feet
trickled n little stream formed from
the slowly melting glacier. There
was but one possible chance of es-
.cape-to, follow this rivulet which
might lead to some unknown crevice
or passage. In silence and terror he
picked his way down the mountain
side, till his farther advance was
stopped by giant cliff that rose up
before him.. while the river rolled
darkly below. He heard the roaring
of the waters below, which seemed to
wait for him. What should he do ?
Death was beside him and behind
him, and he might fear before him.
There was no time for reflection or
delay. He paused but an instant, and
plunged into the stream. One min
ute of breathless suspense-a sense of
darkness and cOldness, and vet of
swift motion, as if he was gliding
through the shades below, and then a
light began to glimmer family in the
waters, and the next instant he was
among the green fields and flowers
