Grass on Sandy Soil.

4 correspondent of the Rural Neao Yorker
asks what kind of grass is best to SOW on
sandy soil, and Is answered as follows:
That must depend upon condition. If sandy
land has been properly enriched with vegeta-
Die matter-with leaf mould, muck or coarse
manure-a mixture of Orchard grass, Red
tops June grass, Red clover and White clover,
equal parts, makes a good sod, and yields a
good crop for both pasture and moving But
II the soil Is not rich in humus, we should Gas
We have) seed more heavily with red clover.
The red clover roots, and the foliage which
Will fall, will help to enrich the soil and ren-
der 1t productive. If rod clover alone were
sown first and plOwed uuder IN June or July,
about the time it is in blossom OF just before,
ana then a mixture such as we have sOwn /;
permanent grass land would, in our judgment,
be secured.
Since writing the foregoing, we dnd that
Flint in his Grasses and Forage Plants" ya.
eoHnends the following mixture for moving
on light lands Orchard grass, 4 lbs; june

There Is nothing to be said against this mix

The blessing Of To-day


Stran:e. ys never prize the music
TILT. Sect voiced birds have flown;
Strange. TIA It we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange, that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half So fair
As when wintcr's snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the air
I,ips from which the seal Of silence
None but Gsd can roll away.
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth to day.
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume.
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let US gather up the sunbeains
Lying all around our path;
Let US keep the wheat and roses.
Casting out the thorns and chat;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings Of the day.
With patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

"Just Cot In and Trust"

I was once talking with a man in humble cir
cumstaucss, plain. hard d-working miner, OH the
snbisct OF personal salvation. l had long thought
him one OF Gods children. His outward walk.
"a far as l knew, was consistent, and he bore a
good name, free from reproach, unusually 70 for
one in his situation. asked him to tell me can
didlv il he hoped he was christian, and the rea-
son for the hope that was in him. He answered
"You know am no scholar; but I'll tell you
the best way can what hope in. It is not what
do but what Christ does for me. You've been
down in the shaft. Now, for a long time Ia been
trying to do what was right, to live ought to.
and was trusting in my own self. And yet all
the while felt as If were in the bottom of tho
shaft, and oil could do didn't get me out Of the
pit. God showed me that all my righteousness
was but filth and rags as the Bible says (his own
words). Well, how can get out of the shaft 7
Why, Just get in the bucket when it comes down,
and trust to the men at the windlass ito draw me
out. And 10 it is about the soul. can't draw
myself out, but trust in Christ's plan, and leave
it all to him. I used to try and do right because
was afraid Of God and the Judgment day; but
trv now because love him."

not err therein" Was not this ignorant mans

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION met
at Georgetown yesterday and did its work with
an enthusiasm and an inspiration greater than
has characterized that party for a number of
years. The proceedings are recorded elsewhere.
The Convention worked up its business in the
main nharmoniously, except when it was feared at
one time that something might be accom-
plished in the interests of clique or ring,
some excitement was manifested, but when ii
was found that none such were trying to pre-
vail, the utmost harmony and good feeling was
restored. A vigiant watch to nip any such
move was manifested by all in the convention
and determination to end them in the Repub
lic1u ranks was the only occasion for the
excitement.
The candidate is other than was expected
and desired by many in the Convention, bu
VIII vi. animation was effected the vote Il
make it unanimous was given not only will
universal assent, but with widest shouts O
appreciation, the friends of Mr. Bird, as ais
those OF Judge Houston, vieing with thos
Of Maj Lofland. Among the latter wer
noticeable goodly number of Democrats fror
Milford and other parts of Kent and SUSSEX
Maj. Lofand is a native of Milford. lawyt
by profession, and man of great persons
popularity. Many Democrats were in the Coz
vention working for him, and are promised
support him. He was admitted to the b,
about 1850, and was elected Clerk Of Il
Senate the same year. He was also elected
member of the Constitutional Convention
1852, in which he took leading part He w
appoint ed Secretary Of State by Gov. Caus
in 1854 and served during the official term
that Executive. He has been throughout
staunch Republican, and is a popular pub
speaker.
The friends Of Judge Houston, thoul
anxious for his nomination, found an obstaC
in the way of such result which many
them preferred not to meet. His nominate
would require him to either resign the Ben
or trail the Judicial ermine in the dust
partizan politics. The latter he could not
and to do the former would bo to give up

warmest supporters therefore gave their 81
