The VIRGINIA PROTECTION
, 1875-12-25

ming his wife at first feared he might have
been drowned, but by-and-bye the poorH
woman discovered that her husbands best
clothes, as also his gold watch and other
valuableS, had disappeared, and that be-
had withdrawn all his money from the
bank on the day of his disappearance.
Thereupon information of the affair was
lodged with the police. An experienced
detective being put upon the scent, it was
speedily ascertained that the lost publican
had left the Caledonian Station in compa-
ny with a young woman for Liverpool.
On the suggestion of the detective the
torsaken wife started in pursuit by the
first available train. No trace of the rum
aways could be found that night, but
some suspicion being entertained that they
might mediate a sea voyage, q watch was
kept next morning at the shipping offices
in Water Street. And here, sure enough,
before long the truant pair emerged from
q cab. a scene, of course, ensued-the
publican's wife flying at her husbands
young companion with not ineXcusable
ferocity, tearing her bonet to ribbons,
pulling her hair, and scratching her face.
While the row was going on a large
crowd gathered, and the erring publican
was fam to seek shelter in the cab; but
his spouse had evidently kept q keen eye
or him, and jumping into the vehicle she
called to the cabman to drive to Lime
Street Station. The young woman was
left standing in a pltiable condition,
while the energetic wife conveyed her
lost husband back to Edinburgh the same
evening.

EXHAUSTING THE FERTILITY
OF SOILS.
(Agricolo in the Herold,)

There are 2 100000 acres under Guilt
walton in New York, and from our child
hood up we have seen farmers extract po-
fash and bone.earth from this soil and send
both to distant markets, never to return.
Will any man of common intelligence say
that this vast area of impoverished soil
contains as much of the elements Of bones
and as much potash and other alkalies
now as it did seventy-ive years ago? One
half of the earthly matter removed IN q
crop of potatoes is potash, and one-third
Of that taken out of o field in the seeds of
wheat is the same alkali. Whether o far
mer buys wood ashes and bones at their
market price or Iabors for years to draw
them from his sub.soil in either case it will
cost him from $40 to SIS an acre to sup~
ply his surface soil with as much as God
gave it before man began to till 1t and
waste its elements of food and clothing.
Man has not the power to curse the earth
with irredeemable sterillty. But to say
that to impoverish it does not involve an
injury to The community, and the necessity
of q loss of lab0ur to ~renoyate it, is simply
to assert what every man OF sense knows
to be untrue. No hocus-pOcus, ~"leaven in
bread, will add lime, soda, potash, phos-
phorus, magnesia, chlorine, sulphur, solu-
bic silica or rich mould to a worn out cot
ton, corn or wheat field. "The vegetative
power of the earth, with due proportions
of air, moisture and warmth on any land,
be it nothing but sand,' is q very pleasant
dream, but nothing more substantial. No
amount ofpure sand, air, warmth or mOis-
ture will form the bones in q mans little
finger nor the brain in his Uranium. His
daily bread and meat must contain other
ingredients extracted from the earth.
To increase it's natural productiveness
is entirely practicable ; but it will cost mo-
ney or labor to achieve this desirable re-
suit. Nor can the end ever be attained by
falsely asserting that "a million tons OF hui
manhood" may be annually taken from as
small an area as will produce it, without
restitution and not deteriorate the soil.
There are scores Of writer's on agriculture
who teach this false theory and call 1t
science. How much an acre Of land can
srare of grain, cotton or other crops every
wear without detriment depends mostly
upon its chemical archaeological character,
but partly upon its mechanical texture.
Not before farmers are willing to foster
the study Of agriculture as q learned and
useful profession will they ever understand
1he true capacity of the soil to feed and
clothe the human family. 1t is not far
from the precise truth to say that they
waste as much hard work, needlessly and
heedlessly, every year as all the mechan-
les, merchants, doctors, lawyers and others
narform.

have a specif ! share in any profits that may
arise after a certain amount of dividend has
been earned. There are other points in the
Report that require to be dealt with, but these
must be left for another opportunity. Sufficient
has perhaps been advanced to show that the
decision of the Committee upon this matter can
not be called a fual one, and it is hoped that
the present Government Of Jamaica will, on
further consideration, determine not to be any
longer bound by it.

AN Elk ITINGlELOPEMENT
From the European Mail.)

Some time ago a well known Edinburgh
publican, rather advanced in years, sudden
ly disappeared from his home, taking
with him a young lady, respectfully con-
nected, who, it seems, resided with her
parents in the same n~eighbourhood as her
aged admirer. It was not known that an
intimacy existed between the pair, who
to appearance might be taken \fer father
and daughter, but the elopement had evil
IDENTIFY been premeditated. The Lothario,
being a bit Of an angler, left his home n
morning ostensibly to go on a fishing ex-
cursion. As he did not return in the eve

POETRY.
The Wedding Fee.
BY R. M. sTHEETER.

One morning, fifty years ago
When apple trees were white with snow
OF fragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spell-bound with the perfume rare,
As ON farm horse, large and lean,
And lazy with its double load,
A Drowned youth and maid were seen,
Jogging along the winding road.
Blue were the arches of the skies,
But bluer were that maiden's eyes.
The dew drops on the grass were bright,
But brighter was the loving light
That sparkled meath the long fringed lid,
Where those bright eyes of blue were hid,
Adown the shoulders brown and bare
Rolled the soft waves of golden hair,
Where, almost slrangled with the spray,
The sun, a willing sufferer lay.
1t was the fairest sight, ween,
That the young man had ever seen;
And with his features all aglOw,
The happy fellow told her so!
And she, without the least surprise,
Looked on him with those heavenly eyes,
Saw underneath that shade OF tan
The handsome features OF man;
And with joy but rarely known
She drew that dear face to her own,
And by her bridal bonnet hid
cannot tell you what she did!
So, on they rode until, among
The newborn leaves with dew drops hung,
The parsonage, aIrayed in white,
Peers out,-a more than welcome sight,
Then, with a cloud upon his face,
fWhat shall we do" he turned to say,
'Should he refuse to take his pay
From what is in the pillow-case?"
And gancing down his eye surveyed
The pillow-case before him laid,
Whose contents reaching to its hem,
Might purchase endless Joy for them
The maiden answers, "Let us wait,
10 borrow trouble where's the need?"
Then at the parsons squeaking gate
Halted the more than willing steed.
The latcbless gate behind him swung;
II le knocker of that startled door,
Struck as it never was before,
Brought the whole household pale with fright;
And there with bushes on his cheek,
So bashful he could hardly speak,
The farmer met their wondering sight.
The groom goes in, his errand tells,
And, as the carson mods, he leans
Far DER the windOw-sill and yells,
"Come In! He says he'll take the beansl'
Lord! How she jumped! With one glad bound,
She and the bean-bag reached the ground.
Then, clasping with each dimpled arm
The precious product of the farm,
She bears it through the open door;
And. down upon the parlor floor,
Dumps the best beans vines ever bore.
All! happy were their songs that day
When man and wife they rode away;
But happier this chorus still
Which echoed through those woodland scenes,
"God bless the priest of Whitinsville!
God bless the man who took the beans.
