Rohblng Mother Earth.

We have spoken often OF the
ruinous policy of continually ta-
king off crops of cereal, fruits,
ETC., from our land, while nothing
is given back in the way of ma
nures. This is robbery of the
worst typeupon the good old moth
er that feeds the entire races-not
only OF man, but of every living
creature. A correspondent of one
of our exchanges thus speaks on
the subject:
Since its creation, the earth has
been the only one 10 always give
a generous return, when justice
has been done it. But how often
do we see man abuse his only
friend. My attention has teen
drawn to the above by my sur
ronndings. Here ale hill lands
and bottom lands; the latter com.
posed of alluvial deposits, are SO
fertile that they can be cropped
for generation, without any ap-
parent diminution of their fertil-
ity. Not so, however, with our
hills, which, although mostly COW
cred with a rich soil when new,
will not bear the heavy taxing
that the lowlsnds do. Within
sight of me there are two parcels
of land from which | have seen
three crops taken; straw and all
carried eff, while not handful Of
any fertilizing matter is put on.
How long this will last is easy 70
tell; and when the land beeins TO
flag the planter will say it does
not yield as much as usual, but
does not blame himself for the
failure. And when it becomes
necessary to fertilize, the trouble
Of getting up those hills will add
to the expense.
One instance is a peach orchard,
from which this season a splendid
crop of peaches has been gathered
after n crop of wheat was taken
off This is doubly severe Oh the
soil, and cannot but soun tell Sc
rious!y. This article is. intended
az a warning to others, who may
be doing the same thing without
ever thinking Of the results.
The earth is splendid balance,
and when you take more of than
you PIT on, that balance is lost
and it goes down.

BOXING THE EARS. = The
drum OF the ear is as thin as
thin paper, and is stretched like
a curtain between the air out
side, and that within; and thus
having nothing to support if,
and being extremely delicate, a
slap with the hand on the side
of the face, made with force
which sudden and violent anger
gives it, has in multitudcs of ca
ses ruptured this delicate mem
brane, resulting in the affection.
of deafness for life. As the;
right hand is almost always used
it is the left ear which is strick-
en-; this aids in accounting for.
the fact that the left ear is more
frequently afflicted with deaf
ness than the right.
