The Battle Of Gettysburg.

Gen. LODgst FEET hes written for the
Philadelphia Weekly Times an interest
ing and valuable description OF the battle
Of Gettysburg. He says tkat he on
posed the march into PenngvIyania on
the ground that the western confederate
armies needed assistance, Grant having
g bottled up" one of them in Vicksburg.
When the two armies faced each Other
at Gettysburg he advised Gen. lee ia
decline the battle, interpnse his army
between Gen. Meade's and Washington
and force the latter to make the attack.
But Gen. Lee said: " If the enemy is
there tomorrow We must attack him. /"
Gen. IOngstreet replied sc II he is there.
1t will be because he is anxious that we
should attack him good reason, in nv
Judgment, for not doing So" Longstreet
was directed to make the opening attack.
His corps numbered 1900 men, Ii
charged up Cemetery Ridge with such
bravery and audacity that Gen. Meade
thOtght that Gen. Lees whole arnv was
at his heels. Reducing his fight wing to
one brigade, Meade hurried the Others
TO the support of his inperiled left, and
forced Longstreet back. When night
came, LOngstreet found that he had lost
1923 men, or more than one.third of his
corps. LoDgstreet charges the failure of
his assault to EweiPs inactivity, decIar-
ing that ii Ewell had attacked Meade's
right wing, it would surely have been
overcome, and the battle won. He also
critiCises Pickett's assault on the second
day of the battle, and says that it was a
great mistake in Gen. Lee to order it
made,

Keeping Manure in surumsr.

Most farmers lose the bulk of summer
fertilizer, suffering il to be washed awav
in the ponds and creeks, or else allowing
1t To leach and lose the chief essential
which makes plant food, by exposing to
the suns rays, or the winds and rain
during the warm weather. Now. tn
keep manure made by soiling green crops
or by feeding with dry food and rain.
1t is necessary TO fix" the valuable
particles that naturally waste themselves
in the surrounding atmosphere. To do
this the farmer must turn chemist for the
moment, and see what ether ingredient
will neutraliz8 volatile substances and
hold them In the compost until thev
become plant food. Fortunately We
have a cheap and very common substance
viz, gypsum and-plaster-that an.
swers this purpose admirably. Ammo
MIA, carbOnic acid, uric acid, phosphorus
and nitrogen, all have strong affinity for
the sulphate of lime, or gypsum. and
viii chemically unite with it on an
sccasions, and form a new compost of
ats, that will not evaperate in the air
very readily, and can be used as one of
the very best fertilizers for almost all
classes OF crops grown in the temperate
zone.
in order 70 make land plaster svaiI-
able, the manure should be heaped up:
and whenever six or twelve inches deem
q good coating of land plaster" should
be scattered over it, and the process con
tinued during winter or summer, as long
as the compost is being increased. It i
best to keep the compost heap sheltered
to prevent unnecessary teaching; but
even without shelter, this treatment win
preserve the greater part of the strength
OF the tertilizing part of the manures.

Food for Fowls

says Ii hens are rightly cared for thew

profit as layers. They must not be
stlnted as to space, nor too many kept
together. If confined allow at least a
square rod to each fowl. Initiate as
closely as possible the condition of the
hen in summer, and supply bv artificial
means the wants which nature sJpDIies
In warm weather, and hens will Law in
winter. Let the floor of the hen house
be of dry earth, with box of dirt and
ashes for their sand bath. Keen their
quarters clean by removing their drop
pings at least three times a week. Give
free ventilation. Surprising your hens
to be IN good condition and health when
they commence laying, give them the
proper food to keep them so. Buckwheat
and wheat are the best grains, although
for variety other grains must be given.
Give cooked feed in various WAYS every
day. Mush is excellent, as also fresh
meat and scraps from the kitchen. Two
or three times q week give fresh bones
and ground bones, with gravel and
broken oyster smells, always within reach.
Apples, cabbage, ttirnips and onions, raw
or cooked, will be TelisRed. The later in
lite PuAet commences 20 lay the longer
she VIII continue to lay, and the greater
will be the uniformity in the size of her
eggs. A good Houdan hen viii average
from one hundred to one hundred aud
fifty eggs a year; but to average that. a
flock must have good care. Thick sour
milk or buttermiIk is an excellent article
OF diet through the heated season. The
Houdans are very prolific, and will stand
a great deal of cold, but they must be
kept dry. The Plymouth Rocks are
almost constant layers, and bear cenfine-
ment we'll. Their eggs are large and
very even in size. Although their frame
is not so large as the Brahmas, they are
more plump and fstten readily.

The disagreeable taste given to milk

happens, however, that the nitre remains

Objectionable faver. Instead of this,

saitpetre-and when thoroughly dissolved
put it in a bottle and stand in a cool
place. Before milking pitt into the pail
a solution, or more, according to the
quantity of milk expected, and all turnip
favor will be destroyed. The same sub
stance will also, in a great degree, destroy
the bad flavor given to butter by the
yellow crowsfOot, or buttercup. This
has been tried and found serviceable.

To Sir Joshua REYNOLDS

July q, 1874.
/ have not been lavish of useless let
tens but an odd thought strikes me-we
shall receive no letters in the grave. On

me intrusive or impOrtunate, if l now

We are now old acquaintance, and per
haps few people have lived so much and

Earth has no more affecting revelation
ct heaven than the sight of divine mercy
following wicked man whom it will
save.
A reckless young tailor, DELAYED in a
foreign port, returned late one night To
his ship from a gambling-saloon. He had
lost all his money, and as he had often
been caught in the same pennies con-
dition from the same cause, he was anx-
lously thinking what new lie he could
invent to shield himself.

He went back and wandered through
the ship for a Bible, but he could find
none anywhere. He was left again to
the mercy of the thought that tortured
him.
One night, in the forecastle, where he
had gone, hoping to forget his distress in
the sailors sport, he picked up piece of
torn book Leaf or newspaper, half covered
with tar. Holding it near the lamp he
read the words, "They that seek Me early
shall find me-"

this was heavenly hint and promise
He could DO now what he could not do
before. he went back on deck and hid
himself and prayed.
10 moment there came into his heart
a feeling OF exceeding comfort. 1t was a
strange feeling to him, and he was too
ignorant OF spiritual experience to know
what it was. But he felt that his sins
were forgiven, and that God was his
friend and through ali the rest of the
voyage bis altered language and WAYS

turning to his native land, he placed

sionary among the sailors.
