water before it is added TO the manure. 1t then forms
with the ammonia the sui phate of ammonia, the very
salt recommended to be used for the formation of
artificial guano, and the very salt TO which SCOT owes
its chief value, and which is therefore now sold at a
high price, as before mentioned, under the title Of Es-
sence of SCOT. %Sulphuric acid may be purchased in
Bristol at Id. per pound. Various salts have been
proposed for the purpose Of fixing ammonia; amongst
these, the best appears TO be gypsum or ~sulphate of
lime, when this is presented TO a solution containing
ammonia or to the vapOur of ammonia in a moist
state, suIphate of ammonia is formed, and the carbo-
mic acid of the ammonia goes over to the lime and
forms a carbonate. Perhaps the best acid, iii could
be procured cheap enough, would be the phosphoric,
since phosphate of ammonia forms a most valuable
manure" both ingredients being highly favourably to
vegetation. To render these advantages as available
rs possible, Mr.. Lawes of London prepares an article
called the superphosphate of lime, which he sells,
| think, at As. sd. per bushel, and which goes a long
way. 1t is 4 formed by adding s%ulphuric acid to finely
broken bones, 80 parts by weight of acid to 100 of
bone. The bones containing a large proportion of
phosphate of lime, a certain proportion of the sulphu-
rio acid enters into combination with a part of the
lime, and forms sulphate of lime, of course discharg-
ing the phosphoric acid from that portion of lime;
this again combines with the other part of the lime,
which thus obtains two portions of phosphoric acid,
and so becomes Il uperphosphate. The Duke of
Richmond and other eminent men have shown that
farmers may readily procure the advantages of this
expensive article, by adding for themselves ~sulphuric
acid to the bones destined for their felds-the increas-
ed value is great.
When, again, this superphosphate is brought into
contact with fresh ammonia, a large proportion of the
phosphoric acid, if not all of it, enters into combina-
ton with the ammonia, and forms a phosphate Of
ammonia, which affords, as has been said, two imp0r-

forgotten that we learn from Sir II. Davy that {" urine
contains all the essential elements of vegetables in
solution"
There is yet another sourse of great loss which we
entail upon ourselves, which | am anxious TO point
ont. In a former letter, | quoted authority to show
how very high, in the scale of fertilizers, stand flesh
and blood-aay that they are, by a great interval, at
the head of the list. This will be more apparent if we
consider that as animals derive the constituents of
which they are formed from vegetables, so they are
best adapted to return to the soil the elements which
pens that most estates lose annually, by death, a great
many cattle aud horscs-more's the pity! The car
casses of these animals are, | believe, universally
thrown down pits and guIies, as the least objectiODa-
BILE receptacleS of such things. We might just as
we'll throw away so many cartIoadS of manure, or
SO many dOlIars-for it is moneys worth that We thus
thro away-instead Of carefully placing such matters
SO that, as they decay, the elements into which they
are resolved should be communicated to other matters
where they should not be nOxious, but most fertilizlng.
| can not think that such n waste could for a moment
be justified upon the grounds Of delcacy or squeam-
ishness; for | know shat, as the flesh of these animals
decays, it is in fact only resolved into those very ee-
ments with which we are constantly in contact, and
which we carefully collect embodied in the excre-
ments of these acknowledgements of which not only
do we ourselves consist, but of which our food con-
sists. Nay, when we reflect that sugar is refined by
means of blood, surely there can be no reason why
it should not be grown by means of flesh. Further,
ifa plant lives and grows by means of the ammonia of
the atmosphere (as it undoubtedly does), generated in
a very large degree by the decay of animal surfaces on
the face of the earth, surely there can be no reason
why we should not apply this ammonia to its roots as
it is generated from ~decaying flesh. Fish is often
used in England as a fertilizer and not always skilfui

or influence. Men are solicited to lend
their names in a manner that cannot be
justified by honor.
The fact is now notorious that men
have put the signing of their names out
OF the ordinary code of morality. Men
will sign merely to get rid of aman. They
will recommend a book which they know
nothing about rather than hurt some ones
feelings by a refusal. They will recon-
mend men as highly fitted for positions
which they positively know they are ut
terly untitled for. Nay, men will give to
candidates the strongest letters for an
office, and then write secret letters to
headquarters to say that the letter is not
to be regarded. Indeed, it is said that in
certain cases politicians find it necessary
to have it understood at headquarters
that no letter is to be regarded unless it
have some distinctive signs upon it which
have been agreed upon.
Is there not need of a better public
sentiment on the subject of signing names?
The laXity of practice is fast taking all
value from documents bearing eminent
names. Such a loose policy as is now
pursued ought to be ranked with false
hoods, receptions and conspiracies to de-
fraud.-N, Y. Ledger.

strength of a Mothers Love.

The almost superhuman strength and
courage of woman under circumstances
of great peril, or when the maternal in
stinct is reused to the utmost for the
preservation of their offspring, has been
recently exemplifed in a most extraordi'
nary manner at SegGno, small village
south of Milan. A child of four years,
playing near an old well but carelessly
covered over, went too near the insecure
edge, and, before an elder sister could
reach her, was precipitated to the bottom.
The frightened child ran screaming to
her mother with the fearful news. The
latter, a workwoman in the factory,
stood for a moment as if paralized,
when, as If realizing the full danger of
her little one, instantaneously flew across
the court, and with her eyes fixed upon
the water below, pallid, mute, teeth hard
set together, she thought only of rescu-
ing her child, and, clutching the old
coping OF the wall let herself down from
stone to stone until she reached the wa
ter, where an inner row of stones gave
her footing. The little one caught by
its clothing to this jagged wall, and the
brave woman reaching far over, firmly
grasped the child, and lifting it free,
held it safe above water with one hand,
while with the other steadied herself
against the damp, slippery wall.
In the meantime the alarm had been
given and the workmen who had come
to the rescue let down ropes to which
the woman was to attach herself and
child. But this was impossible to ac-
complish without letting go of the child.
The poor woman could not again bear
the terror of losing her baby for an in
slant, and with look of baffled, hope
less despair thrown up to those who
waited breathlessly for the result, was
about to resign herself TO her awful fate,
when sudden grasping of the rope be-
low gave renewed courage to the specta-
tors. The undaunted woman had made
another effort for life, and successfully.
Slowly lifting the child to her mouth,
she had taken in her teeth a portion of
the dress, and safely held it, until she
made fast the rope to each, This COM
municated to the people above, shout
went up as one more fearless than the
rest, at the risk of his own life, went
down to the rescue of mother and child,
which he accomplished by intrepid cool
ness and undaunted courage, amid the
hearty braves of the men, and the half
frenzled, hysterical shrieks of the women.

ANOTHER OF UNCLE ABE's ANEC-
DoTEs.-The subject of the war was be-
ing discussed, and Mr.. R--was asked
his opinion by the president as to the
contemplated policy of coercion or war.
Mr.. R., being state rights man,
suggested that. to prevent the effusion of
fratricidal blood and strife, "the way
ward sisters be allowed to depart in
peace" or at least bloodshed should be
avoided. Mr.. Lincoln replied that,
whatever his sympathies and feelings
might be for the people of the South, he,
as president, was sworn to protect and
defend the constitution and laws of the
United States. He said he was in the
condition of the boy who went out in
company with party of coon hunters,
when a small young coon was caught,
tied with string, and the young lad re-
quested to hold the coon until the return
of the party from the pursuit of more
game. The coon tugged at this string
to get loose; looking wistfnlly at the
neighboring woods and then at his guard.
whose sympathies for the little prisoner
were thoroughly aroused. After witness
ing the vain struggles of the coon for
some time, with feelings of sorrow fully
aroused, he soliloquized aloud as follows );
Coony, l am sorry for you l was told
to hold you promised to do so, and
can't let you go; but | do wish this
string would break. "-Kent4cky Paper.

Evils of Gossip.

! have known country society which
withered away all to nothing under the
dry rot of gossip only. Friendships
once as firm as granite dissolved to jelly,
and then away to water, only because
of this love that promised a future as
enduring as heaven, and as stable as
at truth, evaporating into a morning
mist that turned to a days long tears,
only because of this. A father and a
son were set foot to foot with the fiery
breath of anger that would never cool
again between them, only because of
this; and husband and young wife,
each straining at the hated leash which,
in the beginning had been the golden
bondage of God-blessed love, sat
mournfully by the side of the grave
where all their love and Joy lay buried,
and only because of this. | have seen
faith transformed to mean doubt hope
give way to despair, and charity take on
itself the features of black malevoIence,
all because of the spell words of scan
dial, and the magic mutterings of gossip.
Great crimes work great wrongs, and
the deeper the tragedies of life spring
from its larger passions but woeful and
most melancholy are the uncatalogued
tragedies that issue from gossip and de-
traction most mournful the shipwreck
often made of noble natures and lovely
lives by the bitter winds and dead salt
waters of SANDER. So easy to say, vel
so hard to disprove-throwing on the
innocent, and furnishing them as guilty
if unable to pluck out the stings they
never see, and to silence words they
never heard. Gossip and SANDER are
the deadliest and cruelest weapons man
has for his brothers hurt.-AU the Yeaa
Round.
