THE SANBORN PLOW.

/ not long ago saw the models Of two
Of Mr.. Augustus Sanborn's patent swiv-
ell plows, and have since seen one of the
one horse plows in use. Mr.. Sanborn
has devoted the greater part Of his life
to the manufacture and improvement of
plows, having made thirty nine different
patterns, and is now at work upon the
fortieth,-a middle size between his one
and his two-horse swivel plows. A few
the first-of these plows were made
last year, and a larger number this year.
Their chief recommendation is ease of
draft The common plows, after partly
lifting the furrow, press it over against
the previous furrow, the pillow thus being
forced, wedge-fashion, through the
ground, especially in breaking up. ;"
The plow made by Mr. Sanborn, by
raising the furrow above the previous
one before it begins to turn, and then
letting it drop over Of itself, obyiates
this difficulty and does the work with
less team-powers, | have never. seen
one of these ploWs at work on green
sward, but Mr.. Sanborn assures me that
they turn the furrow even better than
the common pillow. They are built ex.
prcssly for use on level land, and [ think
any one about to get pillow should SET
and examine them before gettinga land
side pillow. | am not writing this as {
puff for Mr. S., but in the interest of tn,
farmers who may read it, and if l were il
want of a pillow [ should not hesitate il
buying one of Sanborn's swivel plows
[ believe the inventor has done a goot
thing for farmers generally in bringing
out his plows, and merits good return

Pilgrim on life's rugged road.
fearful, fainting meath thy load,
On thy Lord thy burden roll;
He with strength renews thy soul:
Hath not Jesus said to thee,
''As thy day, thy strength shall be =
In the bitterness of grief,
Though thy prayer find no relief;
Bowed, forsaken, and forlorn,
Though thy signs prevent the morn,
Tarrying long, he comes at length,
To revive thy fainting strength
Though thy Saviour long forbear,
He will hear his peoples prayer!
What though He. when sorrowing sought,
Make as though he heard thee not !?
Watch, and without ceasing pray,
That thy strength be as thy day.
When temptation cometh in,
With surging food of sin,
And the burning pillows swell
From the lowest deeps of hell;
o my Saviour say to me,
GAS thy day, thy strength shall be''
Some, distrnstful of their Lord,
Fear to lean upon his word;
One day, by the hand of Saul,
They are fearful they shall fall
Still that word is sweet to me,
GAS thy day, thy strength shall be-"
What though his approach be late?
1t IS good on God to wait:
He will prove his promise true,
By his gifts, not small, nor few;
His salvation thou shalt see,
GAS thy day, thy strength shall be-"
When wild winds thy vessel sweep
Ger the dreary, boisterous deep.
And thy PROSTATE strength shall fail
AS she drives before the gale,
Then cry nightly, and say,
"Let my strength be as my day.
Dark may be the midnight hour,
With Deaths shadow covered Ger;
Yet, how drear soccer the night,
God hath said. "Let there be light p
Jesus can, if thou wilt pray
Turn thy darkness into day.
Art thou tempted oft to say,
God with thorns hath hedged my way
Dost thou sit alone and weep,
Dost thy heart sad vigils keep?
Weeping may endure night;
Joy shall come with morning light.
AS Thy people once were fed
With the heaven-descended bread,
Feed me thus in ri righteousness
In life's bowling wilderness;
And, when fainting by the way,
Let my strength be as my day.
o thou comfortless and lost,
In thy Lord and Saviour trust
Lo the dayspring from on high
Speaks thy great Deliverer nigh
Leave thy fatherless to me;
GAS thy day, thy strength snail be %
Oh when Death, with iron blow,
Strikes some dearly loved one low,
Vale of Shadows though Despair
: Walk in awful silence there;
Light in darkness thou may'st see
"As thy day, thy strength shall be !"

LIQUID ExcREMENT.-How strangely
we overlook the value of the liquid ex-
crement of our ANIMALS A cow under
ordinary feeding, furnishes in a year
10000 pounds of solid excrement, and
5000 pounds of liquid. The compare
tive money value of the two is but slight
ly in favor of the solid. This state
ment has been verified as truth, over
and over again. The urine of herbivor-
us animals holds nearly all the secre-
tions of the body which are capable of
producing the rich heterogeneous COM
pounds so essential as forcing or leaf
forming agents in the growth of plants.
The solids hold the phosphoric acid, the
lime and magnesia, which go to the
seeds principally but the liquid, hold
ing nitrogen, potash, and soda, is need
ed in forming the stalk and leaves. The
two forms of plant nutriment should new
er be separated or all allowed to be
wasted by neglect The farmer who
saves all the urine of his animals, doub-
les his manurial resources every year.
| Good seasoned peat is of immense SER
vice to farmers, when used as an absorb
ent, and the stalls for animals should be
so constructed as to admit of a wide pas
sage in the rear, with generous room for
peat, to be used daily for the excre-
ment.-BoSton Journal of Chemastrq.
WooD AsHEs.-A correspondent of
the Ioa0d Homestead finds wood ashes,
after fifteen years use, to be worth a
dollar per bushel for dressing fruit-trees.
Some years ago nurseryman of Onta.
rio County, New York, informed us hat
a good dressing Of ashes had doubled the
growth of his pear trees as compared
with the growth of trees without the
ashes. Others have made as favorabl,
reports. Yet the results vary in differ
ent localities and soils. We have ap.
piled ashes to young pear-trees in tn
same way precisely as the nurserymal
Just stated, with no visible result
, While, therefore, they are general,
more or less useful, the benefit must b
/ determined by trial in each locality.

Don't always be having the blues, and talking of h
times and signing,
But buy you Taylor and Farley Organ. that eve
body is buying;
And buy Domestic Machine for your wife, she wal
one you know, if you've tried her;
And buy you an orchard of the New Russian treesI
raise your apples and cider.
You don't want to go without music or fruit in 4
plentiful land
And you don't want your wife and your daughters
do all their sewing by hand;
And the youths who paternity claim, and are son
times inclining to roam,
VIII often contented remain when they see the att
tions of home.
And when you return from your labor, and the day
been weary and long,
Your evening repose will be sweeter if greeted vi

Then hurrah for the TAYLOR & FarleyI with their md

And hurrah for the Hardwick Nursery with big app

Hurrah for Mack the inventor of the Light RUM

So practical, faithful and true; powerful grand

And hurrah for the patent Green MoCntaini that

Takes the Rubber Ball thunder right out of the Will

Shall be retailed at fifty-fve dollars to gobble

to the Judgeship, in the vacancy soon to be
made by the retirement Of Judge Kent, is val.
liable as tribute from Mr.. Peters boyhood
home to his personal fitness for the place. o.
his professional qualifications no one can have
the slightest doubt. The only objection made
to him is that his habits and bearing have no
the dignity and sobriety which the position
demands, and this article meets the objection

A TERRIBLE FmE.-The Washington IN c.
Star of the 18th inst, reports that fire is rag
ing all along the lac of the Wilmington, Co
lumbia and Augusta Railway from three miles
beyond Fair Bluff to Pennington. Forests
have been swept over, fences destroroyed, and
in some instances houses have been burned
There has been great destruction among the
turpentine farms, and the loss to this industry
will be heavy. The fire, at the date the paper
was Published, was raging with undated fury,
extending back into the country as far as
the Charlotte road. The area thus far covered
by it is from twenty-five to thirty miles. The
fire originated through the culpable carelessness
of the railroad company, which suffered loco
motive which had lost its sm0kestack, to run
showers of sparks and cinders through the dry
woods. The people are very indignant and talk
of suing the road to recover their losses.
