THE OUTLOOK.

Tue great suspense is over. \ new
President, in the person of Rutherford IS.
Hayes has been inaugurated for the com
lug four years. The anxiety incident to
the uncertainty as to who is to be PrcSi-
dent, no longer exists. That the result is
satisfactory to all. cannot be expected,
but We believe the great mass Of the peo-
pie, both north and south, will rejoice III
the settlement Of the question IN some
way, rather than to have business inter
csts disturbed, values unsettled, and the
hopes of the people blasted. 1t hes SEEM
ed to Us ~ though our institutions have
been on trial, in remarkable degree.
During the last war it seemed at times,
to many persons, as though our country
was in great peril, and yet VIC came forth
from the terrible carnage Of death, puri-
fed as the waters Of the great sea are
purified b. the storms that seem to scat
ter death and destruction upon every
hand. The foul blot Of slavery exists no
longer iu our government, and we are il
fact as we'll as name, a nation Of frcemeD.
The solution of the late presidential
problem seemed to many minds fraught
with changes no less than even the civil
war itself. 1t is indeed with pride as
American citizens and gratitude to AL.
mighty God, that we see great nation OF
100000 in the face Of great peril, lay
ing aside the heat and frenzy of party
strife, and submitting question Of so
much interest 10 arbitration which has
resulted in the amicable settlement Of this
vexed question. What American is not
prouder Of his country and her people
than he was before?
May we not feel that rcpublicanism has
been tried and not found wanting in our
country, and that We are entering upon
the second century Of the nations cxis
tcncc with every prospect Of completing
another hundred years. Let us learn tina,
the strength Of nation is indeed found

FuRMNG THE >oL.-Frepafatory TO
planting you are instructed to have the
soil in a loose, triable and mellow condi-
ton. This IS sound teaching. The
roots of plants and even seeds require
air, and too compact soil excludes it !;
but this is only half The lesson. Seeds
require moisture in order to germin2te,
and if the ground be TOO loose, present
ing large open spaces, the moisture
quickly evaporates and the soil becomes
so dry that the seeds fail to sprout
This IS the case particularly with small
seeds, which must be covered but lightly.
After planting, therefore, it Is best in
most cases to firm or press together
the soil by beating il with the back of the
hoe or trowel, or by laying a board
across the bed and standing upon it.
This. if the son ue IN the proper condi-
ton for planting, does not make ii hard
or TOO compact, but gives it just the po-
rositv required for the circulation and
retention Of moisture.-Dr. jacques.
