Judge r. P. Boise delivered the an
nual address before the Literary Union
of Albany Collegiate Institute, on last
Wednesday evening. The Chanel was
crowded with a brilliant audience, who
doubtless appreciated the judges schol-
arly remarks as well as the earnest and
impressive manner in whiclfthey were
delivered. The speaker dwelt at length
upon the tolls and triumphs of the Pu-
ritans, citing many historic events
which brought vividIy to mind the
bleak shores of New England, with
the Mayfower moored off the rocky
beach, and the Pilgrim Fathers bow
ing in prayer on her icy deck. He
changed the scene, and presented New
England as it is to day with its fertile
fields and luxuriant pastures; its
schools and churches, its railways, and
its manufactures. All these triumphs
ofintelligence and industry, he Justly
ascribed to the indomitable spirit of
enterprise and love of liberty Inherent
in the Puritan stock, who sought ref

The Ideal Farmer.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essays,
thus portrays the glory OF thu farmer
The glory of tho farmer is that, in
the division of labor, it is his part to
create. All the trades rest at least on
his primitive authority. He stands
close to nature, he obtains from the
earth the bread aud the meat. Tue
food which was not he causes to be.
The first farmer was the first man, and
all historic nobility rest o the posses
sion and use OF land.
Men do not like hard work, but every
man has an exc ptional respect for til.
lage, and the feeling that this is the
original calling Of his race, that he him
self is only excused from it by some
circumstances when made him delegate
it for some time to other bands. If he
had not some skill which recommended

Manure for heat.

The Delaware State Journal says ;
Wherever organic matter abounds in
the soil n free use of bones and potash
will speedily restore it to it's original
fertility. In sandy soils organic mat,
ter in the form of peat, muck, or leaf
mould should be combined with the
bones and potash. The finer the bones
are ground, the more speedy their &C
ton. If the bones are ground in a raw
state, that is without steaming or burn
ing, and ground very fine and mixed
with three times their weight of fine
muck or peat, or leaf mould, and KEEP
moist for three weeks before being used
they will generate all the ammonia nee
essary to the rapid growth of wheat, OF
other growing crops, without the add
ton of other substances GrounC
bones have been mixed with hot stable
manure in England for the last fifty
years. Glover and land plaster are the
cheapest manure for wheat, under n wise
system of rotation of crops.
