The Use of Salt

One of our substantial subscribers be-
lieves the earth needs salt as much as
man and other animals. Has been in the
practice of watering his garden once or twice
week with week brine-about half the
ordinary strength-and has seen moss
beneficial results therefrom. Cabbagcs.
beets, turuips, in fact all garden vegeta-
bles grew wonderfully after the applica-
ton. In one instance he applied it twice
during the growing season, to several rows
of corn, leaving others along side upon
which no application Of the brine was made
and the 70 rs that had received the salt
water produced third more corn than
those not so watered. ..taA
Another subscriber, a most careful and
exemplary farmer-purchased last spring
large quantity of damaged salt for
dressing. 1t was applied to grain and root
crops at the rate oft bushels to the acre,
being spead broadcast after the grain was
sowed, and narrowed in. It's beneficial
effects were quite marked, especially upon
a crop Of peas, although the gentleman
informs US he believed himself that be
used larger quantity than was necessary.
If other subscribers or correspondents have
had any experience with salt as a fertili-
ger, we should be glad to hear from them.

The Gulf Stream.

There is river in the ocean in the
severest droughts it never fails, and in the
mightiest foods it never overfows i is
banks, and its bottoms are of cold water,
while its current is of warm. Tho Gulf
of Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is
in the Arctic Seas. 1t is the Gulf Stream.
There is in the world no such other ma
jestie flow Of waters. Its current is more
rapid than the Mississippi or the Amazon,
and its volume moro than a thousand
times greater. It's waters, as far out from
the gulf as the Carolina coast, are Of an
indigo blue. They are so distinctly mark
ed that their line Of junction with the
common sea water may be traced by the
eye. Often one-half the vessel may be
seen floating in the Gulf Stream water,
while the other half is in the common wa
ter of the sea, so sharp is the line, and
such is the want of affinity between those
waters, and such, too, the reluctance, so
to speak, on the part Of those Of the Gulf
Stream to mingle with the common water
of the sea. The warmest in the Gulf
Stream is also the lightest. As it rises
to the top it is cooled both by evaporation
and exposure, when the surface is replen-
ished by fresh supplies of hot water from
below. Thus on winters day, the wa.
ter at the surface Of the Gulf Stream off
Cape Hatteras may be at 500. and at the
depth of 500 fathoms 5000 feet, as ac-
tual observations show, the thermometer
will stand at 75o. Following the stream
thence off the cape Of Virginia, 100 miles,
it will be found-the water thermometer
having been carefully noted all the way
that it now stands degree or two less at
the surface, while all below is cooler.
In other words, the stratum Of water at
$40, which was 5000 feet below the sur
SAGE off Hatteras, has. in course Of 120
or $50 miles in horizontal direction, as
ccaaed vertically 600 feet. that is, this
stratum has run uphill with an ascent Of
FIVE or six feet to the mile One Of the
benign offices of the Gulf Stream is to
convey heat from the Gulf of Mexico and
to dispense it in regions beyond the At
lantic.

THE INDEPENDENT FARMER.


Let sailors sing of the windy deep.
Let soldiers praise their armor,
But in my heart this toas. I'll keep
The Independent Farmer.
When first the rose in robe Of green
Unfolds its crimson lining:
And round his cottage porch Is seen
The honeysuckle shining;
When banks of bloom their sweetness yield,
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field,
When the skies are soft and sunny,
The blackbird clucks behind the pillow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
Yon orchard hides behind its bow
The home he loves SO dearly
The gray and old barn doors unfold,
His ample store in measure,
More rich than heaps of boarded gold.
A precious, blessed treasure:
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wife the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all his land
The Independent farmer.
10 him the spring comes dsncingly,
To him the summer bushes,
The autumn smiles in yellow ray,
His sleep old winter bushes.
He cares not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him.
His little flock is linked in love,
And household angels round him;
lie trusts to God and loves his wife,
Nor griefs or ill may harm her,
He's natures neblsman in life

Flight Of the Eagle and her Yonng.

Flight OF the Eagle and her YOnng.
In the Book Of Deuteronomy we have
a very animated and beautiful allusion to
the eagle, and her method Of exciting her
eaglets to attempt their first fight, in that
sublime and highly mystic composition
called Moses Song. In this, Jehovah's
care Of his people. land methods Of instruct
ing them how to aim at and attain heav-
emily objects, are compared to her proceed
ings upon that occasion. "As an eagle
stirreth up her nest, futtereth over her
young, spreadcth abroad her wings, talk
eth them, beareth them on her wings so
the Lord alone did lead him." Duet
xxxii IL, 12-) The Hebrew lawgiver is
speaking Of their leaving their eyrie.
Sir Il. Davy had an opportunity of wit
Messing the proceedings Of an eagle, after
they had left it. He thus describes
them -
81 once saw very interesting sight
above one OF the crags of Ben Nevis, as
was going, on the Goth of August, in the
pursuit of black game. Two parent ca
giles were teaching their oAspring-two
young birds-thc maneuvres Of flight
They began by rising from the top of q
mountain, in the eye Of the sun; it was
about midday. and bright for this climate.
They at first made small circles, and the
young birds initiated them; they paused
on their wings, waiting till they had made
their first fight, and then took second
and larger gyration, always rising towards
the sun, and charging their circle of
flight, SO as to make gradually-extend-
ing spiral. The young ones still slowly
followed, apparently flying better as they
mounted and they continued this sublime
kind of exercise. always rising, till they
became mere points in the air, and the
young ones were lost, and afterwards their
parents, to our aching sight"
What an instructive lesson to Chris
tian parents does this history read ! How
powerfully does it excite them to teach
their children betimes to look towards
heaven and the Sun of Righteousness,
and to elevate their thoughts thither, more
and more, on the wings of faith and love !;
themselves all the while going before
them. and encouraging them by their own
example.

Many thousands of dollars are lost 4

Many thousands of dollars are lost an
nually, in consequence of planting poor
seed. Acres of old worthless carrot, beet,
onion, and similar seeds are sown every
year, which might be avoided if every one
who is growing such crops would take the
trouble of testing few of the seeds pre-
vious to sowing. The loss Of preparing
the ground and sowing is usually far more
than the cost of the seeds, and generally
when their worthlessness is discovered the
season is too far advanced to remedy the
evil. is very easy matter to start
few seeds in pots or boxes, and determiae
what proportion will grow. without ran
ming the risk of loosing crop in addition

Peanuts.

The profits on crop of peanuts appear
to be astounding. According to a para
graph going the rounds of the press, it is
set forth that five hundred and forty acres
on the farm of General Bryan Grimes, at
Washington North Carolina, are devoted
to peanuts. Fifty bushels (and 600
bushels is not an exaggerated estimate)
per acre. at the moderate price of So per
bushel, will be $54, 900. Two thousand
five hundred pounds of long forage to the
acre will make 100000 pounds, worth
at least fifty cents per hundred pounds.
making $6.720. The peas that are left
in the field with the pops which are
unsaleable, will fatten 600 head of hogs,
averaging $50 pounds, which will be co.
900 pounds Of pork, which at So per
thousand pounds for fattening, will give
$27, 900, Total, $S7, 900 for the crop.
The waste lands of Virginia and North
Carolina could pay the whole national
debt in two years at this rate, if brought
under cultivation in peanuts.

OA hACN "a LII. ld W.
A few days ago, as report has it, a
novel procedure took place in this city in
the nature of the chastising of newly
married man by the brides mother.
From what we can learn of the case
the gentleman deserved all he got, and
we trust it has made a lasting impression
upon his mind if it did not upon his face
and head. 1t seems the gentleman, who
was widower, wooed, won and married
an industrious young lady, who formerly
resided in the lower part of this State
and who was engaged in the business of
of dressmaking, but who moved to this
city short time before. became
acquainted with her. She was doing
a good business in the above line W hen
he married her. The honeymoon had
hardly passed before the husband blasted
the bright prospects, as we'll as the faith
full promises he had made to her, by get
upon one of his old time DRINKS; and when
in that condition filthy in his habits as
drunken man can well be. He continued
on his sprees, despite the pleadings of her
whom he had promised to love and cher
ISL, until forbearance ceased to be virtue,
and she laid her grievances before her
mother, who thought she would try an
other style of argument; so she supplied
herself with pair of weapons known
as steel knuckels, and visited the residence
of her unfaitful son-in-law, and proceeded
to chastise him in manner that brought
him to his knees. and he promised to do
whatever she wished. He begged his
wife's pardon for the past neglect. His
mother-in-law had Bible brought forth
and made him take an oath to abstain
from the intoxicating cup. How long he
will keep his oath we will see.

Alone I walked the ocean strand,
A pearly she'll was in my hand;
Istooped snd wrote upon the sand
My name, the year and day;
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away,
And SO methoaght twill quickly be
With every mark on earth from mo!
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
Of time, and be 10 me no more;
OF me, my day. the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the water in His hands, s.s.-a

Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
Ofall this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.
