TERRIBLE WALL STREET GRIEF,

and his face was the picture Of despair.

picture of happiness; 50, smiling, I
said

what makes you 50 sad ?'' I asked.

"What is it, Charley ?" I urged
alphabetically.

dead ~ and then he broke down. Pref
ty soon he continued: eyes, I'm

OUR PUBLIC MEN.

Jefferson died comparatively poor ;
indeed, if Congress had not purchased
his library, and given him for it five
times its value, he would with difficult
ty have kept the wolf from the door.
Madison saved money and was COM
paratively y rich. 70 add to his for
tune, however, or rather to that of his
widow, Congress purchased his manu-.
script papers and paid $4,000 for
them.
James Monroe, the sixth president
Of the United States, died in New
York so poor that bis remains found a
resting place through the charity of his
friends.
John Quincy Adams left some $780,
900, the result Of industry and inher-
itance. He was man of method and
economy.
Martin VanBaren died very rich.-
Throughout his political life he looked
out for his interest. It is not believed
that he ever spent thirty shillings in
politics. His party shook the bush and
he caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered a million
in his life, the product of his profess
sional and political speculations. He
died leaving property to his children
and debts to friends. The former sold
for less than $4,000, the latter e1.
ceeded s250,O00.
Henry Clay left handsome estate.
It probably exceeded 100000. He
was prudent manager and scrupu-
lousy honest man IN all his transactions.
James K. Polk left about $50, 900 ;
s50,000 of which he saved from his
Presidency of four years.
John Tyler left $4,000. Before he
reached the Presidency he was bauk-
| rupt. In Office he husbanded bis
means and then married rich wife.
Zachary Taylor left s150,000.
Millard Fillmore is wealthy man and
keeps bis money in strong box. 1t will
not be swallowed up in speculation no,
squandered in vice.

Here is painful story of clergy
man, j. T. Harcourt by name Who
died in the Tarif7ille (Conn.) aims
house recently. He was over 20 years
old. He was forced, 16 years ago, by
the failure Of his voice, to give up
preaching but he obtained . CON.
mission as a colporteur, working for
IA years at a salary of 5000 = year.
Becoming too feeble for this, be tried
to live by selling books. This failed,
and he found himself in Middletown
| without friends or money. With some
difficulty he got into the poorhouse, as
he had no legal residence in the town.
He seems to have been rather harshly
treated, and finally he vas carried to
Tari&ville as a State pauper. Well
his troubles are over now.

The New York Time. draws the fol-
lowing contrast between the conduct Of
Grant and Greeley during tho war.-
Mr.. Greeley cried out for submission
Gen. Grant captured Fort Donaldson.
Mr.. Greeley coquetted With rebel ennis
saries; Gen. Grant captured Vicks-
burg. Mr.. Greeley lost heart and de.
clared the war failure; Gen. Grnnt

maturely shouted con to Richmond r.
Gen. Grant, in his own impassiye good
time captured the whole rebel army, =,
and entered Richmond in triumph.-
Mr.. Greeley fomented sectional strife
Gen. Grant assured national union.-
While Grant was accomplishing through
good report and through i'll report, his
colossal and magnificent task of saving
tho union, Greeley was doing al he
could to inspirea conviction of the hope
lessness Of that task, and to disheart.
en- the country with "saucy doubts aud
fears" The Tribune's fire in the rear
on our gallant army was almost inces-
SAINT, and entirely in accord With the
wishes and requests Of Mr. Greeley's
conte 1erate correspondents in Canada

to disc courage President Lincoln and
his cabinet, as we'll as the brave fellows

~ Will uy eyes 1ull OF tears and
my hand all of a tremble? I don't
even know why l am sitting down at
my desk now unless i: is habit that
keeps me to my old every day task, in
spite OF all the grief and fear which
seem to unfit me entirely for per-
forming it,
The people Of the house were asleep
and lazy on that dreadful night, and 1
was the first to open the door. Never,
never, could 1 describe in writing, or
even say in plain talk, though it is so
much easier, what I felt when 1 saw
TWO policeman come in, carrying be-
tween them what seemed to me to be a
dead girl, and that girl Mary! l
caught hold of her and gave a scream
that must have alarmed the whole
house; for frightened people came
oEowdlog downstairs in their night
dresses. There was a dreadful con-
fusion and noise of loud talking, but
heard nothing, and saw nothing, till I
had got Ter into my room, and laid her
on my bed. Istoopod down, frantic.like,
to kiss her, and saw an awful mark of
blow on her left temple, and felt, at
the same time, feeble Autter of her
breath on my cheek. The discovery
that she was not dead seemed to give
me back my senses again. / told one
of the policemen where the nearest
doctor was to be found, and sat down
by the bedside while he was gone, and
bathed her poor head with cold water.
She never opened her eyes, OF moved, or
spoke; but she breathed, and that was
enough for me, because it was enough
for life.
The policeman left in the room was
Big thick.voiced, pompous man,
with horrible unfeel,ng pleasure in
hearing himself talk before an assembly
of frightened, silent people. He told
US how he had found her, as If he
had been telling a story in a tap.room
and began with saying, 81 don't
think tie young woman was drunk"
Drunk My Mary, who might have
been a born lady for all the spirits she
ever touched-1runk! could have
struck the man for uttering the word,
with her lying, poor suffering angel, SO
white and still and helpless before him
AS it was, gave bim look; but he
was too stupid to understand it, and
went dronlng on, saying the same
thing over again IN the same words.
And yet the story of how they found
her was, like all the sad stories I have
ever heard told in real life, so very,
very short. They had just seen her
lying along on the curb-stope, a few
streets off, and had taken her to the
svav1vu- uuusu. Iuere sne uau ueen
searched, and one Of my cards, that I
give to ladies who promise me en-
ployment, had been found in her
pocket, and SO they had brought her to
our house. This was all the man
really had to tell. There was nobody
near her when she was found, and no
evidence to show how the blow on her
temple had be n inflicted

"All right. Won't you come in and

The door was opened, and policeman
Badger entered, and found the inmate
to be very gentlemanly looking man

"Come right up to the stove, police
man. Excuse me moment"
BE took the ash.pan from the bot
tom Of the stove, and carried it down
the cellar and emptied it, and when he
lad returned and wiped his hands, he

And the man in the duster produced
black bottle and tumbler.
Policeman Badger partook, and hav.
ing wiped his lips, and given his fingers
a new warming, he left the store and
resumed bis beat, satisfied that oil was
right in Drayton & Fogg's.
But the morning brought new re-

been robbed, during the night, Of $4,000

tends to take off; and if he farmer should still be in
cIiued for The opinion of a practical man, and should
travel to those districts where his brethren are in the
habit Of using gypsum Gas in Kent and Hampshire) to
their clover lands, lie will find that experience has
taught them that two cwts. is Just about the best quau-
lily 10 appiy-the crop receiving that amount, and not
being able to make use of more. These facts" SAYS
Mr.. G. Johnson, in his excellent treatise on the use OF
gypsum, 81 can attest from the results OF my I0ng-con-
tinued observations and experience. In an old grass
paddock, of about seventy acres, IN the vale of Kenneth,
the grass had for many years gradually become less
and less productive, and this, in spite of all kinds Of
applications, such as farm-yard compost, &c. in liberal
quantities. But it was found at last that the peat ash
es of the banks Of the Kennett, when spread at the
rate of about forty bushels per acre, produced the best
resultS-morc than an additional ton per acre. Upon
examination, it proved that these ashes contained more
than two cwts. of gypsum in the forty bushels. This
quantity of gypsum, atone, Was subsequently tried, and
the result was fully equal to that produced by the ash
es. Indeed, beyond the increased quantity, there was
a marked Improvement by the spontaneous growth of
white clover and other su perlOf grasses" On the aC-
ton of gypsum upon the grasses, Sir Ii. DaVy has very
properly remarked, that it is evident that this sub
stance is actually a part of the food Of the plant, and
posed those plants which are most benefited by gyp-
sum always afford it an analysis. Clover and most of
the artificial grasses contain ii; but 1t exists in n very
minute quantity only in barley and wheat. According
ly, it is found that the application of gypsum to soil
growing these latter crops is nearly or quite useless;
whilst these no less require in the soil other particular
substances which enter into their composition, as silica
fail without a due supply of them-and yield addi-
tional return In consequence of such a supply. ''Thus."
again to quote the words of MIR. Johnson, 'those plants
which yield carbonate of lime never flourish in soils

dunn, calcium, magnesium, ALUMINIUM, silicon, and
manganese. II, now; we examine organic bodies, we
shall find that they also are composed of those very
same elements, in various forms and combinations.
And here | may mention the processes which, for the
most part, chemists adopt for discovering the constl-
tnIion o! organic matter: they first of all pass them
through Il process OfdrY Installation, which drives off all
the gaseous ma tiers, which are carefully preserved, eX-
amlned, and measured; they then burn the remainder,
and carefully preserving the ashes, they examine them
also and measure the proportions of the various mat
tiers which they contain. By these means, they are en-
abled accurately to state the composition of any given
organic body to a fraction, which is truly astonishing.
From this species of investigation, it appears that OK
ySrn, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon enter so con-
stanlly and largely into the composite on of organic bo-
dies, that they are spoken of rs their essential princi-
Piles; whilst The other elements, which [ have enumer-
ated, enter into their composition less uniformly and
IN mlnuter quantities, and therefore spoken of as their
ancl6ent0k elements, though this term is, no donbt, not
strictly correct; for, however minute the quantity OF
any one or more of them which may enter into the
composition Of any organic body, they are not less es~
scutial to the w~eIl-being if not to the very existence
of that particular body. In fact, We shall find that
strict attention to these less abundant materials is of
great importance to scientific agriculture.
This leads me to explain, at once, in a more parti-
cular manner, in what way it is that chemistry has
been rendered Subservient to agriculture. 1t is, ia fact,
simple enough in principle, thoagh requiring much re-
search for fixing the details which are to be service
able to the practical man. By chemistry, we first as
certain accurately the constituents of the plant which
it is desired to cultivate, and of these we make a table.
We then argue, that inasmuch as plants have no pow
er Of creating ne0 elements, they must necessarily find
such as are needfuf for their OWE healthy growth some
where; and we know thai, when they have found them,
