TO KEEP A TRUE LENT.

BY ROBERT HERRIc.
Is this a fast-to keep
The iarder lean,
And clean
From fat of veals and sheepe
Is il to quit the dish
OF flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fishe
Is il to fast an hour
Or ragged go
Or show
A downcast look and sour?
No, tits a fast to dole
Thy sheaf wheat,
And meat
Unto the hungry soul.
1t is to fast from strife,
From old debate
And hate,
To circumcise thy life.
To show q heart grief rent
To starve thy sin
Not bin
And that's to keep thy Lent.

NITROGEN AND VEGETATIoN.-Our
foreign journals bring the usual NUM-
Der of accounts ot agricultural inves!i-
cations, particularly in the experiment
stations, of which some new ones have
been established in Germany.
Ritthausen and Pott, OF the station at
Poppelsdorf, in Prussia, have lately
been studying the influence of manures,
rich in nitrogen, upon the composition
Of plants fertilized by the same. Ritz
hausen concludes that by Increasing
the amount of nitrogen in the food
supplied to the plant the percentage of
nitrogen, both in the plant as whole
and in its different parts, may be in
creased.
Deherain has investigated the rela-
tions of atmospheric nitrogen to vege-
tation by experiments on the absorb
ton OF nitrogen by carbonaceous mat
tiers, as glucose, decayed wood, etc.,
mixed with alkalies. He concludes
that atmospheric nitrogen can, either
in the cold or at the temperature OF the
soil, fix itself on carbonaeeous matter
analogous to that which is found in
vegetable decomposition, and that the
presence of oxygen is unfavOrable to
this reaction. He infers that carbon
aceous matter in manure is advantage
Gus, since 1t iiberates hydrogen in de-
composing, and renders the conditions
for absorbing nitrogen more favorable
by removing oxygen from the air con-
fined in the soil. Editors Scientific

0ne class of wine.

The duke of Orleans. the eldest son
of King Louis Philippe, was inheritor
of whatever right his father could trans
m1t. He was nohle young man
physically noble. His generous quail
ties rendered him universally popular.
One morning he invited few COM
panies TO breakfast, as he was about
TO take his departure for Paris to join
his regiment. In the convivialty of
the hour he drank too much wine-he
did not become intoxicated-he was
not in respect dissipated man; his
character was lofty and noble-but in
that joyous hour he drank Just one
glass too much. In taking the parting
glass, he slightly lost the balance of
his body and mind. Bidding adieu to
his companions, he entered his carriage;
but for that one glass he would have
kept his seat. He leaped from the car
riage; but for that one glass of wine he
would have alightqd on his feet. His
head struck the pavement. Senseless
and bleeding, he was taken into beer
shop near by, and died. That extra
glass of wine overthrow the Orleans
'dynasty;:coniscated their property and
sent the whole family into exile.
