utility OF Freuuent Stirring of the Soil.

There are many farmers that only plow to
kill the grass and weeds Killing grass is but
small portion of the real benefit derived from
frequent ploughing or stirring of the soil.
The oftener crop is ploughed, if done judi
ciously, the better; for it is only when the soil
is we'll broken an pulverized that the dew set
Ties freely upon it, and one good nights dew Is
equal to a good shower of rain. There are
some that think the dew falls like gentle
misty rain this is not the case, AS soon as
the sun sets the heat impaired to the earth
begins to- fall by radiation into space; If clouds
be present, the heat is mostly returned again;
surface chilled. The cold of the surface chlls
the air lying above it and causes deposit OF
its water-hence the dew. Those bodies which
cool quickest receive the most dew-black soils
more than light soils, rough surfaces more than
polished. The fresh broken soil cools quicker
than the hard ground around it, hence the at
mosphere deposits its moisture in the form OF
dew upon it. The gardener that works his
garden during the burning heat Of Summer,
when all the plants look wilted and dropping,
has faith that the evening dews will operate on
the freshly stirred earth to give life and vigor
to the growing plants. And when he goes into
the garden in the morning the ground looks as
if it had been watered, and all the plants full
of life and vigor. So it should be with the
farmer. The farm is only large garden.
The same principles of culture which double
the crop of cabbages peas and cucumbers, will
double the farmers crop Also" "But l cannot
make one or two hundred acres garden" he
will say. Make twenty acres farm garden
then, and get larger crop than you will from
the old fashioned method of slip-shod culture
from one hundred. Plow not to break the
roots of corn or cotton to make it grow, but
plow to stir the soil, to give free access to the
moisture and gases of the atmosphere to the
unbroken roots of the plants you cultivate.
The dews which will settle on well-broken,
pulverized lands will greatly take the place of
showers, and carry a farmer through drought
with safety

THIS is a North Carolina invention, and
Il will become to the Cotton Planter what
the Mccormick Reaper and Mower is to the

Carolna's best men, says: Its value to far
mer can only be appreciated by those who give
it trial. made special examination OF its
work, and pronounce it a horongh success: 1t
bars both sides of the Cotton at tho same time,
much better than can be done by the ordinary
plow, and chops out tho surplus Cotton, leav-

GooD NIGHT-How tenderly and sweetly
falls the gentle "good night" into loving hearts,
as members of family separate and retire for
the night What myriads of hasty words and
thoughtless acts, engendered in the hurry and
business of the day, are forever blotted out by
its benign influence Small token indeed; but
it is the little courtesies that make up the sum
of happy home. 1t is only the little courte-
sizes that can 80 beautifully round off the square
corners in the homes of laboring men and wo-
men. The simple II thank you'' for a favor
received, will fill with happiness the heart of
the giver. True wealth is not counted by dollars
and cents, but by the gratitude and affection of
the heart. Ifa home be happy, it is of heaven
the truest earthly symbol. If a home be hap
py, whether the owner possess a patch of ground
of one or thousand acres, they are in the end
wealthy beyond mathematical calculations.
Then how much more lovingly are the sable
folds of night gathered around the happy
homes; how much more con6dingly do its mem
bers repose their weary bodies in the care of
Divine goodness soothing their overtaxed
minds to the realities of beautiful dreamland; !;
awakened refreshed and invigorated for the
coming days labor, by having bid their loved
ones an affectonate ''good night" And if,
during this life we have faithfully attended to
all these little courtesies these little ulneeds,
if we have guarded carefully all Goods hearts"
placed in our keeping, at the close of its brief,
yet eventful day, how much easier to bid all
our dearly beloved ones final "good night"

The EUCALYPTUS IN ALGERIA 1t is al
legged that it possesses the power of absorbing
the poisonous gases from the air and rendering
healthy the districts in which it is planted.
Its alleged wonderful sanitary effect in un-
healthy districts of Algeria swhere its has been
planted, is cited in proof of its value as dis
injecting tree. Its leaves possess the same
effect as quinine in the cure of Chill fevers
Nine. Bodschon, who introduced the new tree
into Algeria few years ago, thus writes to an
English gentleman in Rome: eff you could see
the fragrant forests of Eucalyptus here, where
fever breeding plains formerly existed, but are
such no more you would be thankful for what
you helped me to do. Please send me some
more seed, especially of the red gum (Eucalyp-
tus Coossa, which stands any amount of sun,
and grows magDifcently in the desert I never
did better work in my life than planting this
Eucalyptus in Algeria" If what is alleged Of
the Eucalyptus be true, why may it not be
successfully introduced all around the Gulf
coast of the Southern States, and to a distance
of seventy five to one hundred and fifty miles
back from the sea? As it becomes accimatized
it will grow harder The French expect to
revolutionize the climate, productions, and sa
lubrity of Algeria with it, and the Romans are
fondly hoping that it may eventually be the
means of restoring health in summer within
their walls, and rendering habitable once more
their fertile Campagna, over which disease and
death have long brooded-Paris Letter to

A few days ago an old colored woman
stepped into the telegraph Office with letter
in her hand, saying that she wanted that let

the operator took the document and was about
to break the seal, when the old lady jumped
at him saying "don't you bruck de letter open,
I want UNI to 60 jst as he is"
Never was a more truthful paragraph
than this, which we clip from an exchange !;
"When man discontinues his local paper be-
cause he feels aggrieved at something in it, he
merely transfers his name from the subscrip-

who borrow the paper every day he never

A very good story is circulating in Wash

A very good story is circulating in Wash
ington at the expense of Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine.
It seems that the Senator was out for walk on
Sunday evening. In passing leading coorod
church, be was so pleased with the singing thai
he went in. He had been seated but few
minutes when colored dignitary approached
him, and said in substance that the church was
for colored people, and they preferred to be
left undisturbed by white people during their
services. Mr. Morrill, Immediately retired. A
few days before he had been earnestly working
for the passage of the civil rights bill.
"A few days ago hungry party sat down
at the Widespread supper of sound steamer,
upon which one of the dishes contained trout
of moderate SIZE a serious-looking individual
drew this dish toward him, saying apologeti-
colly, "This is fast day with me-" His next
neighbor, an Irish gentleman, Immediately
inserted his fork into the fish and transferred
it to his own plate, remarkng, "Sr, do you
suppose nobody has q sowl to be saved but
yourself?"
- ri hope, Mrs Giles" said lady who was
canvassing for choir at the village church,
"you will persuade your husband 10 join U.s..
am told he has a sonorous voice." ga sono-
rous voice, marin ?" said Mrs. Giles. "Ah, you
should hear it comm out of his nose when he's

his delinquent son, Pm busy now, but as soon

THE ACADEMY.
To many of your readers, an item from
our little village will he of but small in
tercst, but to others it will be read with in
terest as having reference to an institution
in which they are personally interested
SO pardon me for asking small space III
your columns.
Mcchanicyille academy is an educational
institution belonging to Vermont, as much
as possible for it to be, not standing on
Green Mountain soil. It's principal is
Vcrmonter, both himself and witc were
educated in Vermont, the one at Middle
bury college, the other ut Newbury. The
teacher of the classics is native of Rut-
land, and the music teacher of Benson,
while many of its friends and patrons are
residents of your state, and especially Of
Rutland county.
We have been requested to make some
mention of the closing exercises which we
will attempt to do, The annual eXamna-
tons occurred on Wednesday and Thurs
day of them it Is unnecessary to speak,
except to say that they were very credita-
bic to all concerned. In the evening of
each of these days public exhibition was
held in the village hall. Over the curtain
of the stage was this motto, "Vita sine
literls, mors est" showing the spirit in
which both teachers and pupils havo la
bored. The first exhibition was more par
ticularly devoted to prize speaking, the re-
suit of the contest being H. Z. King first
prize Minnie G. Ames, second prize and
j. G.. Weeden an Independent prize.
The second evening was devoted To the
rendering of the charming opcrctta, IAN
hour in fairyland," and to the graduating
exercises The rendering of the operctta
was very fine, and showed careful and ar
tistic training. The graduating class pro-
duced some finely written essays, eyincing
much thought and an intimate acquaintance
with good, strong English. Where all was
so good, it is hard to particularizc, but one
or two performances We must mention.
Miss Howard, upon whom the burden Of
preparing all the music for the occasion
rested, favored the audience with the bal
lad, "Marjoric's Almanac. Her voice is
powerful and rich, and of wide compass,
taking the high notes with ease. Her exc
cution elected loud applause, and her pu-
pills spoke for her, that she was as thor
ough an instructrcss as IN accomplished vo-
caist. 1t is earnestlyhoped that she will re-
turn to us for another year. The address
of Prof. Ames was replete with sound
sense and good advice that the members Of
the graduating class will do well to heed in
the wears to come.
Friday evening the anniversary exercises
| closed with grand reception at the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. w. Ensign The house
was filled, and a very pleasant evening was
passed by all Miss Florence Ames sang

feet, and Miss Howard, in her own inimita-
BILE manner, favored us with an operate Sc
lection, "Ah che la Mortc." Singing and
social intercourse made the hours pass
swiftly, and all departed. wishing prospect
ty and length of days to the institution
that is so effectively performing Its work
in our midst ~.
