Here are we poor waits upon the earth

mighty wall of death. In through its
narrow door every one of the millions
who has lived has passed. Up to that
same door every one of US is walking.
Each throbbing second is football that
brings US up q little nearer. And
beyond? Not one of those we have seen
enter has come back to tell us what there
is beyond, to tell us that there really is
any such beyond as that at which our
resolute, unreasonable vitality guesses
and hopes in spite of all the darkness.
This is mans life. Just think of it !
And then, as you sit thinking of his
fragmentariness, his certainty of death,
his doubt about future, let this voice
come to Jou--a voice clear with per-

there is future beyond the grave, but

a. PLOUGHING IN CROPS AS ,

A large number Of farmers are unable
to understand how IL is possible TO better
the condition of lands by ploughing in
clover. rye, buckwheat, ect., in green
condition. The difficulty is in compre-
hending methods by which crops that are
supposed to draw their sustenance from
the soil in which they grow can return
anything more to the soil than they took
away in their growth.
This point is made. clear when it is
known that all plants draw nourishment
from the atmosphere as well as from the
soil, and this is one source of gain. While
the leaves are Accomplishing stores of fer
tility from the air, the roots are busy
searching for it in the soil, ard thus the
two distinct parts Of the plants work TO-
gather -esu
It's probable that crops absorb, in
some way, nitrogen from the atmosphere !;
at least. it has never been satisfactorily
proved that they do not, and hence from
that source one Of the most valuable of
the various forms Of plant food may be
derived. If this point is in doubt, it is
certain that the leaves gather from the
atmosphere the elements of organic mat
ter, and organize them so as to form the
great body Of the plant; and when we
turn nndar the cInva- - l~~--~- ;l-4----,- :; :
matter in the soil, and this is, in an i'm
portant sense, manure. ...rar iiqa
But the excellent effects of ploughing
under cover or other green crops are not
due alone to elements of fertility obtained
from air. The great, deep-penetrating
roots 60 to a point lower than most Of the
cereals, and hence they draw supplies of
mineral food from sources inaccessible to
other valuable plants; and, further, it
is to be observed that these roots Of coarse
texture disintcgrate and loosen the soil,
so that air is let in, and in some sense
the work Of the plough is performed by
them. When these roots decay they
form consideral portion Of organic OF
vegetable matter, which combined with
the mineral give good compost fol
butter plants to thrive in
From these brief considerations it will
readily be seen how it is possible to ma
nure land by ploughing in green crops
aud we here remark that it is practice
not often enough followed by our hus
bandmcn. The clover is perhaps tn,
best of all the plants for green manurins
and it is easily and cbeaply raised. 4
thin dressing Of superphOsphate (hOme
made) will almost always give heav,
crop of red clover on common land
and this crop turned under, when at it
maturity, and allowed to decay, bring
it into good filth, and certainly afford
to the farmer wide margin for profit i

THE only hope Of the Democra-
tic party in 1880 is through fraud,
corruption, and, if needs be, revolu-
ton. It knows that an honest
election is Republican victory.
1t knows that the jig is up with it
unless it can force repeal Of the
law which is in the interest of fair
and pure elections. For this reason
it threatens the Government with a
money famine unless the elections
shall be thrown open to all manner
of fraud which its ingenuity can
invent, and it has talent in that way.
Without the repeal Of those laws,
which stand between the ballot. box
and such pratices in elections as are
illegal, wrong, and corrupt, the
Democratic party will have no
showing in any future elections
outside the South, and very little
there. If the ballot-box in the city
of New York can be successfully
guarded against fraud the Demo-
Gratis cannot by any possibility carry
that State. Their strength lies in
the frauds they are able to commit,
and they know it, otherwise they
would not assume the revolutionary
attitude they now occupy toward
the Government under an open
e at unless their party endscan
be subserved the Government is to
be stopped in the exercises of its
proper functions. If this is not
threatened revolution it is mere
badinage, and if it is the latter it
should not bear any weight. At
all events we feel assured that it
will be put to the severest test.

Judicial Election.

A Justice Of the Supreme Court
is to be elected next month in place
of Hon. Orsamus Cole whose term
will expire on the 1st of January
next. Judge Cole is candidate
for reelection. Judge M. M.
Cothren has also been brought for
ward by the Democratic State
Central Committee as the candidate
of that party. 1t is to be regretted
that the Democracy have thus
undertaken to lug politics into the
settlement of this question. No
complaint is made that Judge Cole
is not an upright and able Judge,
nor does any one pretend that
Judge Cothren is his superior in
any respect whatever. Then why
should the practice which has SO
long prevailed of keeping the cleo
ton of Supreme Court Judges free
from the contamination of politics,
be abandoned now? Judge Ryan,
Democrat, was elected without
any opposition, and SO was Judge
Orion supported by Republicans
without any effort Or wish to defeat
them. The wisdom of electing
men to these positions on account
OF their fitness cannot be questioned.
Let it once be understood that any
other rule is to prevail and Candi-
dates will be nominated solely on
account of availability, and the
bench will suffer in point of ability
and reputation. We observe that
many Democratic members of the
legislature signed the call upon
Judge Cole, and we presume that
he will receive large Democratic
, support. An effort will be made,
however, on the part Of Democratic
politicians, to force the party into
Cothren's support, and 1t should be
the aim of all who do not want to
see the high and honorable position
of a Judge Of the Supreme Court
dragged down, to keep the election
entirely free from political consider
ations, and vote for Judge Cole
who has been tried and not found
wanting.

If any one has had any doubt
Of the revolutionary purposes OF the
Democrats IN the past, present, or
future, the remarks of Senator Beck
in the closing hours Of the late Con-
gress ought to be throughly con-
vincing on the point. His declara-
tons were distinct, bold, and
unmistakable in meaning. There
is but one Interpretation of them.
They mean total subjugation of the
laws and the Government to the
behests of the Democratic party, or
the supplies are to be cut off and
the wheels Of the government are
to be abruptly stopped. What he
said in this connection was substan-
TALLY that if an extra session shall
ensue the committees of both Houses
will be organized at once and sepa-
late bills for carrying out the pur-
poses of the Democrats as developed
in the late session, will be framed
in day. The two Houses will
then ask the President to agree
with them to repeal the laws allow
ing soldiers to go to polls under
the pretext of keeping peace, and
to repeal the laws relating to juries,
SO that persons brought before the
courts may have a fair trial, and
another bill, providing that the
United States Government shall
not interfere with affairs pertaining
to States. When these three bills
shall have been signed by the Pre-
sident then Congress will pass every
appropriation bill as now, without
attempting any further action. If the
President shall veto the bills thus
presented no money will be sup
piled.
This is the Democratic pro-
gramme as enunciated, no doubt by
authority, by the great leader of
that party in the South. 1t is de-
faint menance to which the Execu-
tive can never succumb without
surrendering the Government into
the hands of revolution. To stop
the money supplies for carrying on
the Government, simply because
the Executive will not sanction
political party measures which seek
to abrogate law and subvert the
elective franchises as revolutionary
in intent and purpose as that seces'
sion which prece ded an open appeal
to arms to break the bond of the
American Union. Let the Demo
Gratis attempt this revolutionary
policy if they dare, and it will not
take long for them to learn the
temper of the American people
They will never submit to such g
prostitution of legislative power in
peace. 1t is the constitutional duty
Of Congress to provide for the
money necessities of the Govern
ment, and when it deliberately re.
fuses to do so it makes war upon
the Constitution and begins revo-
luton which will be promptly met
