Overwork.

| met a man some time ago who
used to travel on business, and al
most passed his life upon the rall.
He came home one evening, and
walking across his dining-room he
staggered like drunken man.
UDcharitsble people, who did not
know his habits, might have thought
him intoxicated. He sank on his
chair. and he was prisoner in his
chair, al the rest of his life. He
was completely paralyzed in his
lower limbs. The incessant trave-
ling on the rail at last proved too
much for his nervous SYSTEM
Hence the collapse; and have a
strong Impression that other col
lapses might be traced to a SIMILAR
source. / know Of a lawyer who
was in great rush Of business
He liked his fees; but like all other
men WHO succeeded, he liked bust
ness thoroughly for its own sake.
Re was unable TO refuse business,
and indeed, to refuse business is
the hardest trial which can happen
to any professional man. His mis-
take was, that he did not provide
himself with adequate assistance.
The III treated brain took to soften
ing, and then all business came to
an end. | know of man who
was enormously wealthy. In ad
dition 10 tue constant employment
which his own vast property gave
him, he was trustee for ever so
many widows, orphans and charities.
He worked hard at accounts till
the small hours in the morning. A
boy clerk at los. a week might
have done it all for him. But he
preferrej doing his own work him
SELF and accordingly he had to
quit this inferior existence, where
such a condition Of things is net
always possible. One of the best
known men in the country once
t9ld NE that he was going to take
a six weeks holiday at the sea-
side: was rejoiced to hear it. No
man better deserved or more re-
quired such holiday. Then he
ted nae that he was going to take
his new book with him TO the sea
side, and hoped to have it ready
for publication by the time his hOl-
liday was over. I expostulated
with hin. 1 explained that he
was only changing one kind of hard
work Ter still harder work. But
he took the advice of what is often
a mans worse counselor himself.
His book was successful; but he
neuer knew Of its SUCCESS.

How to Make Lawn.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes:
"The very best grass 1 have
made use Of for a lawn is unques-
tiOnably orchard grass. But then,
to sake it efectual for this purpose
no halfway measures should be
practissd in preparing the ground,
sowing the seed, and cutting the
grass. The soil should be rich, in
fine filth, and free from weeds. The
best preparation Of it is to cultivate
it in potatoes or some other hoed
crop the preceding year. If this can
be taken off in August. early or
late, according to climate, the seed
may be safely sown in that month.
if not, leave it till the following
spring, and then put it in as
early as possible. Plough, harrow
very fine, and level the ground
Then sow at least at the rate of
four bushels per acre. so that the
ground can be thickly stocked. Ii
this is not done, the ground forms
tussocks, and these spoil the beauty
of the lawn. Never sow clover or
any other seed with this for a lawn,
but one may do so with clover only
for a field crop if desired, as both
ard ready at the same time 10 cnt
for hay, which, to have ittender and
succulent, should be in the earliest
Of boss ming. After sowing, brush
the surface nicely, and then roll
Cut the grass as often as it gets
about four inches high. This keeps
it from growing coarse, and makes
a closer, frmer sod. This grass is
lh- first to shoot up in fhe spring,
snd The last to tarn brown in late
autumn or during the winter. Hay
grass, II treated in the above man
ner, cones next to orchard grass in

Lime in A griCulsure,

All writers on agricultural subjects
seem to agree that the use of lime
on clayey soil is of great beniiit,
crops thus treated showing the ad-
vantage of its mixture with the
soil. A correspondent to the faT-
mer'S Revieac writes from France
that the European farmers coincide
with our sgriculturalists in this res
pect, and concludes as follows :
The extending use Of lime is ex-
cellent for clay soil. Argil'aug-
ments in volume when moist
dininlshes when dry. Carbonate
of lime possesses neither Of these
properties applied then to cold clay
soil it enables the air and heat to
penetrate more readily, thus making
the land triable, On light soils tie
action of lime is weak, and on those
very light the use of lime is mis-
placed. But as the action of lime
rapidly transforms the nutritivc
capital OF the land, its success can
not be permanent unless nationally
supplemented by direct fertilizers,
as farm-yard manure, etc. Hence
the adage Lime enriches the
father but ruins the children, II
the soil have an excess of acids,
lime 'sweetens' by utilizing them
all cultivated soils are slightly acid.
such being necessary for vegetation.
Too much, however, acts directly
on plants, and indirectly by the
formation of soluble and noxious
salts Of Iron.

A correspondent asks us to ex-
plain the philosophy of the rotation
of crops. We comply, but 10 so
briefly, both because our space is
small, and further, even full ex-
PLANTATION does not demand many
words. Some nine substances
make up the ash Of all plants.
These are potash, soda, lime,
magnesia, oxide iron, oxide manga
nose sometimes, silica. chlorine,
sulpburic and phosphoric acids.
Plants obtain these substances ex'
clusively rom the soh. But while
all plants take up these substances
from the soil, different plants fake
them up in very, different proper
tons. For instance, all the cereals
are wheat, rye, oats, take.up as
much phOsphoric acid as all tht
other eight or nine substances put
together; while potatoes, turnips,
&C.; demand potash and soda large
ly but little phOsphoric acid. The
chief demand of the grasses is fol
lime; of tobacco, for potash ano
lime, Now, the Indication is thai
those crops should succeed each
which make demands upon the sol
as unlike as possible. Wheat sue
ceeds tobacco well, and the grasses
come we'll after wheat. Tobacco
takes up chiefly lime aud potash,
and but little phoshOric acid, which
is the special demand OF wheat.
Wheat removes but littlc lime.
which is the special demand Of the
grasses. BIB - Tf0
The worst possible rotation,
which one may frequently see
however, in Virginia, is wheat, corn
and oats. Here the demand all
all the time is for phOsphoric acid,
and the strongest soils give way
under this drastic process. TObac-
co, wheat, clover and a year Of
rest is an excellent, rotation. Dur
ing the three, years succeeding
VIII eat, so small is the amount Of
phosphoric acid taken from the sol
that it is supplied, perhaps more
than supplied, by the constant dis
integration Of mineral masses in the
the soil,S and of the underlying
rock. A similar explanation is
obviously applicable to other con-
stituents. By a judicious system
of rotation, and a little rest and
help, the soil not only holds It's
own. but improves as the years
roll by.

A WIFE MADDENED TO MURDER HER HUSBAND,
AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE.
LITTLE Rock, December 30.-Last Fri
day night ut Bcntonyille, Ark. a man
named Eson Balm was killed in his bed,
and his wife confessed to shooting him.
She justified herself by saying Balm had
killed two men; was a hOrSe-thief; had
lived by theft in every place where they
had been; had threatened her life at va
rious times, and on two occasions had
drawn a knife on her, and that her life was
most miserable with him. Her statements
were made in a cool and unmoyed manner,
while the dead body OF the man was SO
near that she might have touched if.
The iury's verdict was that Balm died al
the hands Of his wife.
Three of their children were sent to the
poor-house, and she was permitted to take
a Younger son-threc months old-to jail
with her. Monday she borrowed a knife
from the jaller ostcnsibly to rip up dress
TO make over for her child, but instead she
cut her throat, and died in few moments,
