latter. Just 80 with the soil. II is no
matter II It's fertility is 80 great rs to
produce one hundred bushels Of shelled
corn TO the acre, and It's productive pow.
ers are reduced only the one hundreth
part in as many years, its complete cx-
haustion would only be a question Of
time at last.
The American farmer grows corn year
after year. and IL is sent to England,
where IL is converted into beef, mutton
or pork for market, in doing which the
farmers Of England make such vast
quantities Of rich manure that nv its sp-
plication to the land the yield frequently
doubles the rent, while the American
farmer in cultivating his own land 30
weakens It's production by not consuming
his produce at home that IL ceases to re-
turn him fair average crops-a fact which
will be sorely felt by posterity.
The soil is the foundation upon which
the hopes OF the farmer must rely, but
he must not expect il To. dispense its
gratuitous bounties unless he reciprocatcs
its favors. Or it may be likened to n ma.
chine that converts dead, Inorganic mat
ter into vegetable life for our subsistence;
we must supply the machine with plenty
of grease (manure) in order to give scope
to its greatest utility. Nor is this all; il
needs also our care, attention, and the
application of our skill and judgmen,
before we can expect it to do good work

EiOhteen Hundred Years after
Death.

A correspondent of lPpieiOn's ,j0mna,
writing of excavations at Pompeii says
Among the most interesting of the OBJ
jects found recently are two skeletons,
one of somewhat elderly man, the
other of woman. They were found in
the Via Stabia among the ashes of the
last eruption, evidently overtaken in
their flight and buried among the cnders.
| According TO the usual method en-
ployed to preserve the external appear
ance Of objects, liquid plaster was poured
into the cavity, which serving as a
mould, a facsimile of the forms was oh.
tained; and thus perfectly preserved, the
statuelike bodies were placed in glass
cases in the Pompeii Museum. While
appreciating all the horror of such a
death, and the suffering endured, as
shown by the position of the limbs one
can not but imagine what would have
been the ast0nishment of that man and
woman had some prophet informed them
that eighteen hundred years after their
death their forms, and even as much of
their garments AS was not consumed in
the eruption, would be placed in mu.
scum for inspection by "A multitude of
sight-seers, some from lands the exist
ence of which they had never dreamed
Of The poor woman is lying on her
face, and even the form of her hair, put
up behind, il seen. One arm shields her
forehead, and she is supported by the
other. Her stony limbs are well formed,
and traces of a garment are seen passing
in folds around her. The man, although
placed on his back in the exhibition,
when found was turned ON his side.
One arm rests on his hip; the other is
upliited. The face is somewhat dis
torted, but massive and smoothly shaven.
Even the form of the fastening of the
sandals around the ankle, and of the
long button higher up on the leg to hold
them, is clearly seen. The limbs are
partly drawn up.
The skeleton of a tolerably large dog,
also recently found, is in the Museum of
Pompeii, his whole form preserved in
plaster in the same manner as those Just
mentioned. He is lying on his back,
writhing in suffering, biting his hind
leg. The rings in his collar are plainly
scen.

YEAST AND HOMEMADE BREAD
Boil one pound of good flour, a quarter
of a pound of moist sugar and half an
ounce of salt, in two gallons of water, for
an hour. When nearly cold, bottle and
cork it closely. 1t will be fit for use in
twenty-four hours, and one pint will
make eighteen pounds Of bread.
To WASH WHITE STRIPED STOCKINGS.
Make a jelly, the night before it Is
wanted, of the best yellow soap; wash
the stockings in warm water with little
salt in it, using the jelly instead of soap
rinse in clear water, also with little salt
in it; wiring as dry as possible, and dry
quickly.

The Bordeu .Nut.uv.

Readers may remember a narrative
which appeared in the columns of the
papers few monthsago of a remarkable
case of mutiny and piracy on the high
seas. A vessel called the Jefferson
Borden" was making voyage from New
Orleans to London, having on board, be-
sides the captain and mates, five sailors
and boy, with the captains wife as pas
senger. On the Goth of April, while in
mid-ocean, nine hundred miles from Eng
land, three of the sailors mutinied. The
first and second mates were both muir
dered in the night and an attempt made
to decoy the captain from the cabin
where he was sleeping, which was, how
ever, frustrated by the timely caution Of
his wife, who had suspected foul play.
The captain then armed himselfand gave
battle to the mutineers lie had for
allies one sailor, the steward, his wife and
the cabin boy. On the other side were
three mutineers. The battle waged with
varying fortunes for about forty-eight
hours. At last the captain by dint of
bravery and skillful tactics succeeded in
driving the three men into the forecastle,
where they finally surrendered, overcome
by hunger, fatigue aud wounds. The
vessel was taken into an English port,
and in due time returned 10 Boston with
the mutineers in custody. They were in
