improvement Of the Soil by Mechan-
icaI Means.

IT must be evident to every one that,
other things being equal, the permanently
productive capacity of the soil will bear
direct proportion to its depth. BY deep
ening the soil the cultivator can change
the character of the land itself, and also
alter both its physical qualities and change
its chemical constitution, and thus fit it for
bearing other kinds of plants than those
which would be found naturally growing
upon its surface; if those should be con-
sidered desirable, he can very easily in
crease their productiveness. But he can
not deepen the soil without increasing his
labor, which is the first consideration of
the farmer and especially where it bears
so high proportion compared with other
countries; and in no other branch of bust
ness is the strictest economy so essential to
success as in the one we are treating of,
But here science comes to his aid, and war
rants the outlay, and suggests that If he
deepen his soil, his plants will have
wider range for their roots in search of
food, which will give increased growth
that the portion of the subsoil brought to
the surface by deep plowing will receive
the ameliorating influence of frost and
rain, by which previous, perhaps hurtful,
properties are altered and washed out +;
that in times of drouth these roots can
seek he grateful moisture, which is being
condensed from the atmosphere, within its
cooler depth; and he finds his account in
increased product of his crop.
The same science will suggest the fire.
quent stirring df the soil, to expose fresh
particles to atmospheric influence the use
of the subsoil plow, and, where necessary,
draining, which has been attended with so
much benefit wherever employed. Again,
the cultivator can improve his soil me-
chanically, by the use of different kind
of earth from the one to be improved.
Fifty loads of stiff clay to the acre, applied
in the fall, to light sand, to be sowcd in
the spring, and one. hundred loads of sand
applied to heavy clay land, and spread any
time before plowing, will be found to have
very beneficial effects and this mixing of
soils, where necessary materials are not too
far apart (Which very frequently is not the
case), affords one of the cheap means of
improving the soil, especially as the ope-
ration can be carried on at such times when
the hands and teams might otherwise be
idle. A still further advantage attending
this method is, that twenty per cent. less
of manure to the acre will be attended
with equal results in the production of a
crop--JourndI Of Chemistry.

Republican Achievements.

BoTH in war and in peace the Republi-
can party has marked its way by achieve
ments of most benefcent character. 1t
has wrestled with and overthrown ma
tional corruptions to which all other
parties were held subservient. Mightier
foes never confronted any party, and
grander or more complete triumphs were
never before gained by any party. That
party vanouished monster rebellion SYM
pathized with by powerful faction in
the loyal section as we'll as embracing the
entire force of eleven of the States of the
Union. 1t abolished slavery, restored the
national authority, established order, and
gave to the people of all races and of
every condition their proper places of citi-
zens and voters in free republic, making
us what no other republic has ever been,
a nation with no class of its male citizens
permanently shut out from share in the
government
The moral triumphs and the martial
victories of our cause have been grand
and glorious, but they have not been our
only achievements The Republican party
has given the country revenue system,
wisely adapted to the necessities and exi-
gencies of the times, which, without a
change in the principle which pervades it,
may be readiusted and modified as circum-
stances and contingencies may require
Under that system the country has been
prosperous and free from financial disaster
and revulsion to AN extent never known
for any ten years of our previous history.
Our cities have grown as if conjured
up by the power of Ithuriels wand.
Our manufactures have advanced to a
high degree of perfection. Capital has
found remunerative investments. and labor
lNaet h<Aw
been more highly remunerated than ever
before. The farmer has had ready sale
for all his products, with nearer markets
and better pay than he ever knew before.
And, notwithstanding the opposition and
denunciation with which interested COM
binations have met that system, the
country has grone forward with more
steadiness and less interruption than was
known in the days when the Democracy
bore the burdens of the government.
But not the least of the triumphs of this
party of reform has been vanqushing the
treacherous, inconvenient, heterogeneous
paper currency with which the Democracy
cursed the country. State banks, with
their currency, like the doctrine of State
rights was source of immense mischief
and loss. The currency of Ohio was at a
heavy discount in New York. The cur
rency of one State was sometimes by law
interdicted from entering another. Coun-
terfeiters then had their golden age. Bank
note detectors were household necessity.
Every mail brought news of bank failures,
and set every man to inspecting the con-
tents of his pocket book to see how much
the latest bank-break had cost him.
Happily forthe country, all this is changed.
We have safe national currency-good

The Lesson of Nature.

Torpor is the characteristic of winter. Vegeta-
ton dies or falls into state OF trance The whole
aspect of inanimate nature teaches us that there
is a paralyzing influence in the air, and ought to
teach us that our bodies require an increase OF
vital power to contend with it. Some of even the
warm -blooded animals bury themselves in the
earth and remain in a state of partial stupefaction
until the season IL over and the elixir of the spng
sunshine stimulates their stagnant blood, and re-
stores their vigor But man, although he feels the
influence of the season. can protect himself against
its inclemency. lie has fuel to warm him exter-
nally, and can tone and strengthen his internal
organization, and endow It with the extra amount
of vitality which the circumstances require OF all
invigorants that have ever been recommended for
this purpose, IIostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
purest and the best. Fortified by the daily use OF
this wholesome vegetable tonic, the human system
may defy the chills and damps of winter In any
latitude Its effect is to promote brisk and regu-
lar circulation OF the blood, and activity in all the
secretive organs. withoutthe slightest tendency
TO produce fever, it imparts a healthful glow to
the surface and stimulates the exterior vessels to
discharge, IN the form of gentle perspiration. the
useless matter eliminated from the blood. Thus
the system is kept unclogged. Fever and ague,
biousness, Indigestion and collie, all OF which are
the common consequences OF the searching damps
and low temperature OF winter, may be AVOIDED
(as well as curcd) by course of this genial tonic

sixty-four cents--you know they was big

you. When | got down to Fourteenth

to pay when they got out. SO he hands

Sing Away Your Grief.

WE can sing away our cares easier than
we can reason them away. The birds are
the earliest to sing in the morning the
birds are more without care than anything
else | know Of Sing in the evening.
Singing is the last thing that robins do.
When they have done their daily work
when they have flown their last flight,
and picked up their last morsel of food
and cleansed their bills on napkin of a
bough, then on a top twig they sing one
song of praise. l know they sleep sweeter
for it, They dream music; for sometimes
in the night they break forth in singing,
and stop suddenly after the first note,
startled by their own voice. Oh! that we
might sing evening and morning, and let
song touch song all the way through.
AS was returning from the country
the other evening between six and seven
o'clock, bearing a basket of flowers, met
a man that was apparently the tender OF a
mason. lie looked brick and mortar all
over He had worked the entire day, and
had the appearance of man that would
not be afraid of work. He was walking
on with a light step, aud singing to him
self as he passed down the street, though
he had been working the whole day, and
nearly the whole week. Were it not that
my good thoughts always come too late, |
should have given him a large allotment of
my flowers. If he had not been out of
sight when the idea occurred to me, l
should have hailed him, and said Have
you worked all day2" "Of course l
have" he would have said. Are you
singing?" "Of course am" Then take
tthese flowers home, and give them to your
wife, and tell her what blessing she has
in you"
OH that we could put songs under our
burdens. Oh! that we could extract the
sense of sorrow by songl Then these
things would not poison so much; Sing
in the house. Teach your children to
sing When griefs arise, sing them down.
Lift the voice of praise against cares.
Praise God by singing that will lit you
above trials of every sort. Attempt it.
They sing in heaven; and among Gods
people upon earth song is the appropriate
language of Christian feeling ng.-ErCItdllge.
