Be Nor sEDucED.-Here is what Secretary
Boutwell, said to the Republicans Of North Caro-
liza, and it will snswer FOR all localities
Be not seducsd by the idea that the democrats
are supporting a republican fer President. If
their candidate could offer what he cannot offer
- consistent life in the psS;-ss pledge Of
his policy in the future even this would be with
cut value in the presence of the fact that nearly
all Of his supporters are from the democratic
party The government ia machine. Its chief
power is in the will Of the party that conducts
it. The democratic party will never legisa;e in
aid Of or for the protection Of your rights under
the constitutional amendments. Without legis-
lstion those amendments are powerless The re-
publican party offers you President. Senate,
House Of Representatives, courts, and above all,
public opinion, ready snd snxious to give you
protection in all your righs. liberties and i'm
muniiet; al this the democratic party denies by
its history, Its declarations, and By the votes Of
its representative men. But do you say Is not
their candidate sufficient for us answer, be
va, net sufficient for bimself, and be will not be
sufficient for you. For the bauble OF nomina-
tion to the Presidency a; the hands Of his enc

The Use OF Concentrated Fertilizers,

The cause of failure in the use of the
concentrated fertilizers is often due to the
panhtr III Which they are applied. 1t is
difficult for those who have been accus-
TONED 10 use bulky nanures to realize that
lhe lall ierlllizng potency of bushe of
animal ezcremtnt may be held in a large
sized table spoon, and that handful OF one

The Is grain powder will affect the hu
man organism AS powerfully as ten times

Eetlul ol ''ppfenctes' rs to administer as
much or even one quarter a. much, of the
NhIte concentrated powder as of the bulky
dark one, We should destroy our patients
Ilie, or at least do great injury to his health
80, II IN the use of genuine superphosphate
or guano, or ground bones and ashes, we
forget their power, and amply too much, or
apply them too directly, we endanger the
life uf our plants.
An experiment made upon corn affords an
illustrative case in point. At the time of
planting, upon a field divided bv narrow
strip OF sward land, we directed that on
one side tablespoonful of the mixed bones
and ashes should be placed in each hill. and
well covered with soil upon the other, four
rows were to be treated similarly, and up
ON he remainder the hills should receive a
double quantity. 1t is curious to observe
the effects. The first field and the four
rows are remarkably thrifty. The corn
came up well, and has manifested remark
able vlgor from The start. On the other
hand, the oYerdosed corn appeared for a
long While as if it had been paralyZed by
some wasting disease. 1t could not bear

Tree ammonia was formed at he start than

ana many OF them persisted from over stim-

growing finely, and will no doubt afford a
large yield. Now, if this had happened in

reach conclusions; We must examine close

urning Cows to Grass.

La turning cows to grass, the question
often arises whether it is better TO keep
them confined to 4 small incl0sure, until
grass becomes so large and plenty that they
can NIL themselves readily, and subSist
wholly upon 1t, or to give them the range
OF the whole pasture, or a large share of il,
ana let then change gradually from hay to
grass, as the latter slowly comes forward
These questions annually occur to every
dhiryman. and are Wered, sometimes
one way and sometimes the oLner. They
are questions that ought to be carefully
considered. Those who favor the practice
OF keeping COWS yarded and entirely away
from grass, till they can live upon it wholly,
urge that the appetite OF the COWS is 50
much affected by taste of grass, that they
will so far lose their relish for hay as not
to eat enough to keep up their flesh and
strength, and consequently are best OF not
to taste 1t at all, till there Is enough for
them to subSlst on wholly. This is one
view Of the question. Those who prefer
letting their cows run over a wide range
and nip the grass as soou rs it starts, say
that 1t is better for them, or anv other
stock, to change from dry feed to green,
gradually and that the season for dry food
always too long, is stretched to its utmost.
by prohibiting taste of grass till it is
plenty enough to live upon.
There IS some force in this reasoning. A
sudden and radical change OF food, either
for man or beast, IS always attended with
i'll consequences. The condition of the
stomach and bowels, aud the quality Of the
digestive agents, adapt themselves 10 the
nature of the food To break up at once a
long established order of things, deranges
all the operations OF the system and inpairs
their functions. Iu turning milch cows
suddenly TO grass they are usually made
sick for several days They become un-
nerved and weak ard their milk is often so
much affected as to work badly to the
che2sevat, for Il week Or more A diar-
rheei sets in and the loss Of flesh, by scour-
ing, is often greater than that occasioned
by loss OF appetite for hay. l have always
found dairy cows 10 do better, the season
through, to make the change from dry food
to green, a gradual one. If there should
be any tendency to falling away from scanty
food, it Is better to keep them up by the
use of little grain, than to make too sud
den change. Live Stock Journal.

Lost Little Ones.
BY A. A. HOPKINS.

| sometimes look beyond the gateways golden,
When sleep comes silently,
And there within the Saviour's arms EMBODIED
The little ones see
The little ones that in the glad times olden
We're kissed by you and me.
| see no longer in their tender faces,
Upon their dimpled cheeks
No touch of care has left its fearful traces,
No pain for pity speaks;
Rhey laugh and sing in happiest of places,
Through all the Sabbath weeks.
! wonder if amid their gleeful singing
Perchance they ever miss
The mothers soft caress around them clnglng,
Her frequent, loving kiss;
Or if they wait her coming for the bringing,
OF yet sweeter bliss.
And then, when sleep has fed, and with ii
dreaming,
lie with open eyes,
Aud weep to find 80 real thing wasi seeming,
In sorrowful surprise,
Till through the darkness there does come u
cleaning
From out the smiling skies.
And softly then voice saith TO my weeping,
"'TWas not dream you had,
Your little ones are safe within my keeping,
So wherefore then, be sad?"
A nd DER my heart holy JOY comes creeping,
Which makes me strangely glad.
