THE SUNNY sIDEOF TOLL.
Extract from Col. A. X. McClure's Address at
Lehlgh University.

Lehlgh University.
Take the sunny side of toll. tits made
the inheritance of all, by law that is
universal and memorable, and that fesr-
fully avenges its violation. 1t is the com.
mand of God, and, like all hiE mandates
ls wise end m .rciful. Do not grieve be-
cause others seem more favored than
yourself, for such appearances are often
terribly deceptive. With all the varied
cares and duties and strange inequalities
of life, we are largely, if not wholly,
moulded by our own efforts, and sunshine
or shadows will predominant as we may
decide tor ourselves. How often the
child Of toll envies the lot Of his fellow,
born to fortune and luxury; but it is a
cruel mistake. The seVerest toll of life
is to labor at nothing and for nothing. 1t
is the one ype of toll that has no COM
pensation, and it is the most tiresome
ard exhausting OF emplOyments OF all
ordinary lives that ut the idler is the Sac
dest. 1t is ordained that labor and con
tent shall 20 hand in hand, and in all the
experience of recorded civilizations there
has been no departure from toll without
decay and sorrow. There may be great
grief ming ed with exacting or unrequited
labor, but peace and content are utter
strangers to the indolent. 1t is not only
the law Of individuals, but it is also the
law of nations. When nations have
reached the zenith of grandeur in their
achievements luxury and its inevitable
idleness have dated their decline and
fall. Peoples advance only as they make
industry their chief attribute. Vice and
industry are inIplacsble foes rnd can
have no fellowship, and when luxury
begets Incidence, Incidence begets vice,
and vice beg is death. And what is true
Of natIors is equally true Of communities,
families and i4dividuale; of political, re.

Professor +: W. lIlgard in discussing the
"ObJectS and Interpretation of Soil Analyses,
gives among other things the following advan-
tages resulting from all adequate supply of lime
i'll soils:
|. more rapid transformation of vegetable
matter INTO active humus which manilcsts itself
by Il dark, or deep black tint of thcsoil.
=. The retention of such humus, against the
oxldlzng influences OF hot climates witness
the nigh uS-perccntages of such soils, rs
against all others, in the Southern States.
.. Whether through the medium of this
humuS, or In more direct manner, it renders
adequate Tor profitable culture percentages of
phosphOric acid and potash so small that, in the
case OF deficiency or absence of lime, the soIl is
practically sterile.

D. 1T cXerts II most important physical action
on the tocculation, and therefore on the till
ability of the soil, as heretofore shown by
Schlnsing and by myself.
Professor liilgard adds that in the majority Of
soils excepting those that are extremely sandy),
the lime percentage is greater in the subsOl
than in the surface soil. This is, doubtless, he
explains, the result of the easy sOlubility of
calclc carbonate in the soil water, which
carries 1t downward and thus tends to dcplete
the surface soil. This fact is strllingly shown
IN the results of Loughrdge's investigation on
the composition of the several sediments. The
efficacy OF lime i'll preventing running to-
weed in fresh soils, and i'm favoring the pro-
duction of fruit, is cOnspicuOusly shown in u
unmber of cases.
