NJ ANUREs FOR DIFFEkENT LANDS -
The coarse manures should generally
be applied to the heavy clays, especial
ly If vegetable matter Is lacking. Their
fermentation In tho soil disintegrates
1t, and promotes fertility. Usually
clay soil has abundance Of plant food,
but not In available shape for crops.
llence something to bring out what is
In tho soil Is needed. Concentrated
and mineral manure are best adapted
to cold and mucky land. Here thero
Is plenty of vegetable mould, but
1t is not active. Great manures are
best adapted to sandy or gravely soils.
Here vegetable matter is always def
clent. Some sands and gravcls are
lacking In other respects also, and in
such cases tho land is worth little for
farm uses. On the land sand, or
better still gravel that has plenty OF
lime, potash and phosphatcs, is the
very best land to work because it IS
always dry, warm and quick and If it
mas Il somewhat heavier subsoil, it has
the ability to endure an untnvorable
season better than any other. The
pest test OF sand or gravel soil rs to
fertility is to observe the clover catch
ana growth. If farmer can get Il
good clover catch every year on sand
or gravel, he has the means In his own
hand OF making 1t as rich as he wants
1t.

The recent rise in the price of paper

We gladly print the following
verses by a pupil at our Female
Academy, promising our readers
that their time will not be lost or
their patience tried in reading.
They are far above the average of
young ladies' verses:
The church was quiet and cool and dim,
Fit place for worship of prayer and hymn;
The song rose soft from the waiting choir,
Devoutly sweet, as the palmist's Tyre.
Outside, above the dropping caves,
The naples tossed their plumy leaves,
Flecking the windows crimson pane
With shadows, swift as rushing rain.
While vaulted ceiling, wall and floor
Took up the strain and sang it DER,
Each nOdding leaf1et seemed to say,
''They're praising God with us to-day"
Just then the mocZing-bird dropped down
Upon the tree-tOp's emerald crown,
And poured, to swell the sacred strain,
A full, fresh food OF vocal rain,
Nor paused he when the psalm was done,
But like some happy saint, alone,
Whose rapture bursts in praise and prayer,
Still warbIed hallelujahs there.
I list the faithful preachers voice,
Thro' prayer and scripture-mark his choice
or text and proof and argument
To every word give glad consent.
But sermons more than one or two,
Are thrilling all my being through
The good divine himself ween,
Well understands what this may mean.
For on the table by his side
Meek foil to the magnOlia's pride
A lily, purer than the snow,
Looks out upon the crimson glow,
And seems, while listening to the bird,
Once more to hear our loving Lord,
Beside the free-winged "fowls of air"
Place her sweet name to chide all care.
Yes, ably preached the learned divine,
But listened, too, dare Opine
For "ravens," "sparrows," "lllies," all,
DrOpt from his lips with gracious fail.
Nor Jealous of each favored name,
The mOcEing-blrd sang still the same,
While on the lily's cheek, the glow
OF crimson tinged the melting snow.
o rarest preachers! strong the sway, ~
That, grateful, sent my soul away
To ponder all these lessons, heard
From lily, sky, green tree and bird.
