The Glory OF the Farmer.

The benefit conferred upon mankind NV
the farmer, and the pleasure which attach.
es to his vocation, are charmingly portray
ed by Ralph Waldo Emerson, in one of his
essays, as follows
The glory of the farmer is that, in the
division of labor, it is his part to create
All the trades rest at last on his primitive
authority. He stands close to nature he
obtains from the earth the bread; and the
1ood which was not, he causes to be. The
first farmer was the first man, and all his.
torlc nobility rests on the possession and
use of land. Men do not like hard work,
but every man has an exceptional respect
Tor tlllage, and feels that this is the origi.
nal calling of his race, that he himself is
only excused from it by some circumstan-
ces which made him delegate it for a time
to other hands. Ifhe had not some skill
which recommends him to the farmer,
some product for which the farmer gives
corn, he must himself return into his due
place among the planters. And the pro-
fesslon has i'll all eyes its ancient charms as
standing nearest to God, the first cause
Then the beauty of nature the tranquility
and innocence Of the country, his indcpen-
dence and pleasing arts, the care of bees,
poultry, sheep, hogs, the dairy, the care of
hay, of fruits, of orchards and forests and
the reaction of the workman in giving him
strength and plain dignity, like the face
and manners of nature-all men acknowl.
edge. All men keep the farm in reserve as
an asylum, in case a mischange, to hide
their poverty, or as solitude in case they
do not succeed in society. And who knows
how many chances of remOrse are turned
this way from the bankrupts of trade, NOR
titled pleaders in courts and senates, or
from the victims of idleness and pleasure2"

Oats as n Manuret

A Kentucky farmer writes: ~ have fro.
quent inquiries how to reclaim old and
worn lands. A quick and cheap plan is to
sow the land in oats early in tho spring;
as soon as ripe, pillow under, keep off the
stock, and you will have a tremendous fall
growth of oats. Plow them under in Oc-
tober, or, if South, the first of November,
then sow rye. grazing in the spring and
feed down; or, when ripe pillow under, and
you will see one of the finest rye fields you
ever saw or, ifyou wish, sow clover on
the rye the first spring; it is very effectual
and cheap. l saw the above tried in Ten
ncssee when l was boy the land was so
worn that the oats did not exceed knee
high they were plowed under when ripe,
and again in November. The land was
planted in corn the next year and made
large yield; it was before the days ofclover.
l have tried it repeatedly since with sue
cess.

CosT OF DRAlNs.-Judge French, in an.
swer to question as to the cost of drains
in different kinds OF soil, writes
"In the writer's own field, when the pick
was used to loosen the lower two feet of
earth, the labor of opening and filing
drains four feet deep, and of main width
of fourteen inches, all by hand labor, has
been, in mile of drains, our first expert
ments, about one days labor to each three
rods of drain. The excavated earth of such
drain measured not quite three cubic
yards. In subsequent work in sandy
SOIL two men opened and filled fourteen
rods in one day, the main width being
twelve inches. In the same season the same
men opened, laid and filled seventy rods
of four feet drain of the same width of
twelve inches, in the worst kind of clay,
where the pick was constantly used. 1t
cost thirty-tive days labor to complete tho
job-being fifty cents per rod for the labor
alone"
Geo. Z. Warnins estimates the average
cost per rod at forty-three cents for the la
Dor, twentyone cents for tiles, and ten
cents for filling in, making seventy fonr
cents all done.

Managing a Vicious Horse.

A beautiful and high-spirited horse
would never allow shoe to be put ON his
feet or any person handle his feet without
a resort to every species of power and
means to control him. At one time he was
nearly crippled by being put in the stock;
he was afterwards thrown down and letter.
ed; at another time, one of our most expe-
rienced horseshoers was unable to manage
him by the aid of as many hands us
could approach. In an attempt to shoe this
horse, recently, he resisted all efforts kick
ed aside everything but an anvil, and came
near killing himself against that, and final
ly was brought back to his stable unshod.
This was his only defect in all other res
poets he was gentle and perfectly docile,
and especially in harness. But his defect
was just on the eve of consigning him to
the plough, where he might work barefoot,
when by mere accident, an officer in our
service, lately returned from Mexico, was
passing, and being made acquainted with
the difficulty, applied complete remedy
by the following simple process: He took
a cord about the size of common BEDFORD,
put it in the mouth of the horse like bit,
and tied it tightly on the animals head,
passing his left ear under the string, not
Palnlully tlSnt out tight enough to keep
the ear down and the cord in its place.
This done, he patted the horse gently on
the side of the head and commanded him
to follow and instantly the horse obeyed.
perfectly subdued and as gentle and obedi-
ent as we'll trained dog, suffering his feet
to be lifted with entire impunity, acting in
all respects like an old stager. That simple
string thus tied made him at once docie
and obedient as any one could desire. The
gentleman who thus furnished this exceed
ingly simple means of subduing very
dangerous propensity intimated that it is
practised in Mexico and South America in
the management of wild horses. Be this
as it may, be deserves the thanks of all
owners of such horses and especially the
thanks of those whose business it may be
to shoe or groom the animal.-New York

A bud of rarest, sweetest bloom,
Had opened in garden fair.
It's snow-white petals lit the gloom,
That gathered round the homeioy there
Fer while without in purest pride,
This white Queen held her triumph glad,
Within the home at sweet Brookside,
= Life's scene was closing brief as sad
As angels circlcd round the Bud,
Our lily-bud of tender grace;
Dropped on its stem and dropping died,
Clasped close in Loves most fond en-
brace
Out in the garden, thro' the mist
OF tears that on the waXcn face
And folded, dimpied hands at rest
Had fallen, we looked upon the place;
Where late in beauteous regal state,
Our floral treasure held her sway;
But 10! our garden lily's fate,
Was cmblemed by our Babes short stay !
For dropping, dying in her bloom,
Our garden-Queen in all her spendor,
But decked her own most royal tomb,
While dropped our lily-bud SO tender!
We though as gazing on the wreck,
OF flower so fair, and human blossom,
How like they bloomed, and broken dropped
In peace upon earth's peaceful bosom!
Yet not alike Our lily-bu
Tho broken on its stem so fragile,
Shines on with angels glori6ed
In beauty fadeless as eternal
But for our lily full of light,
And softest, magic power and glory,
No hand shall ever reunite
It's broken thread of life's bright story
While far beyond the fields of blue,
Full of star blossoms, pure and holy;
Springs fresh in his re- gathered bloom
Our broken bud Gods spotless lily
