"We extract from the articles We, for our part, ehould na itvrlined lo cietani cun rrom tne otnenis or me pro posed amnesty, even iX he had done every. laiug in nis power to seenre proper treat ment for Federal prisoner, ana even if th treatment of the Confederate prisoners )iad been all that It Is said on the Northern side to have been for reasons which we pro duced, in great part, after his capture in 1SG5, and which, as it seems to u, have lost none of their force. - If it be sstccd, why select him for punish ment any more than any other man at the Bouth? the answer i, that it is the Southern people who selected him. They made him the President of the Confederacy because he waa the most prominent man in the move ment which led to the Confederacy, lie bore a leading part in organizing and directing it, and was the. foremoel representative of ita temper and aim. In short, the selection of lilm wae a strong but careful recognition of bia claim to be considered, more than any other man, responsible for the Rebellion, nd he did his best during the war to justify the selection by his acts and language. He never once, during his Administration, sug gested in the remotest way a possibility of peace or reconciliation, and he spoke in pub- lie speeches of the Northern people in terms I which probably no leading officer of a belllg 1 crent power hua, even in modern times, ern V ployed toward a civilized enemy.

If he puffers lit all for taking his share in the re bellion he suffers only in mind, and that he puffers in mind there in no good reason for believing. If lie were amnestied, however, there can be little doubt than an early op portunity would be taken to send him back to the House or the Senate; and the question now is whether the North can really, even ' by fair-minded Southerners, be expected to expof e itnelf to a contingency of this kind, nnd whether it would bo well for it to do so. The South can, after complete defeat in war and such a war! hardly call on the vic tors for the suppression of every speeics of susceptibility and the efTacement of every trace of ordinary human" pride. There are pome siijns of Indignation over the past which people who have won, after lighting bard and 'losing half a million of men, may f urely be allowed to display, and there could bardly be a smaller or milder sign than tli,e relegation of Mr. Jefferson Davis to private life for the rest of his days. Then, too, the , position the North took during the war, and has taken since its close in its relations to foreign opinion, must not Uc forgotten. It distinguished the late rebellion from all other previous rebellious on two grounds that its object was the preserva tion and perpetuation of slavery, and that it bad broken out under a Constitution which gave perfectly free play to all peaceful ef forts to e licet constitutional changes. On these grounds it called for the sympathy of the best men of other countries in terms such as no tate before when engaged in civil war has felt justified in usini;, and on these grouuds, too, it described the moral guilt of the promoters of the insurrection in V-rms of unprecedented vehemence. Now, it will not do to act as if this talk was all buncombe, as if all the moral heat and wrath of that period were due to the passions of the battle-field, and had no root in cold and eettled principle. It will not do, after de scribing Jefferson Davis as all our moralists as well as politicians described him, to treat him as if he were simply a mistaken politi cian who bad outlived his errors. A decent regard for the opinion of mankind, even if we are not burdened with self-respect, re quires us to exclude him at least from par ticipation in the councils of the nation he tried to destroy. There is a point in legisla tion, as in social intercourse, at which char ity and mercy become vices dangerous to the social order. We owe it to our selves, in short, to say 'that there was at least one man whose political career was closed by hiskharein " thegreatest rebellion the world ever saw." ' The Sentiment of the Sorth. The people of the North are earnestly desirous of sincere and complete national reconciliation. They have insisted upon equal and exact Justice, but not humilia tions. They have demanded adequate and permanent security, but not degrada tions. The first great duty after the war vas to establish the foundations of the restored Union upon a sure and lasting basis, and to guarantee full protection to the wards of the nation. Every step they have taken in dealing with the South has bad this object in view. All have aimed at security not a single one at punishment. With this spirit a Republican Govern ment and a Republican Congress have arraigned no man lor treason. They have pursued the greatest crime in the history f free governments with no bloody retri butions. They have treated no subju gated territory as a conquered province. 'J hey have dealt with no rebel as an enemy. To the great body of the Southern people, they promptly restored full citizenship. To every leader who usked for amnesty, they freely gave it. "W lien it came to the stupendous problem of dealing w ith the two clases of slaves and masters, they lifted the one up and did not drag the other down. They opened the ballot-box and the very doors of the Capitol itself to the men who had been in arms against the Union. Through their magnanimity more than eighty of the rebel leaders now sit as law-makers for the nation they at tempted to destroy. All they sought was security for the future, and having pro vided lor that, so far as the law can pro vide for it, they wanted to let the differ ences of the 'war pass away and enter in good faith upon a new era of fraternity and harmony. But in this desire and readiness for reconciliation, they expected to be met at least halfway by the element to whom they had shown such generosity. They did not expect that the men who were in debted to the leniency of the nation for the very seats they occupied, would avail themselves of that clemency to glority se cession and to denounce the representa tives of the Union. They did not sup pose that their moderation would be lol lowed by such a reassertion of the rebel lion. The people of the North are will, ing t3 let by-goncs be bygones. They would claaly celebrate this centennial year with a national outpouring of frater nity and fellowship, liut they do not pro pose to falsify history or let it be falsified ; they do cot mean to acknowledge that they were wrong and the rebels right; they do not feel disposed to remain silent while Jefferson Davis , is exalted on the -Hoot f Congress alwve Abraham Lincoln, and while the conduct of the war on our aide is pronounced more atrocious than on the other; in a word, tliev do not ac cept reconciliation as signifying generosi ty on the one part, and the declaration of the old spirit on the other. None will go farther than the men of the North in clasping hands across the bloody chasm. But forbearance and recon ciliation must not be all on one side. There must be an honest acceptance of the situation. There must be a just recog nition of the authority of the na tion. There must not be one tone for Northern ears and another for Southern not a pledge of devotion to the Union on the floor of Congress and a threat of hostility on the soil of Georgia. When the North gave its hand to the South, under the shadow of Bunfcer Hill, it was earnest and honest. But if it is to cherish that feeling, it must understand that the hand it receives is equally warm, and that back of it there is not the spirit of Davis and Andersonville. Albanp (N. T.) Journal.

Senator Jlorton's recent speech on his resolution, calling for an investigation, ia to the recrnt State election In Mississippi: IT the Information I hare received from very maoy sonrens is snoaianuall' true, tne late pre tended election In Mississippi waa an armed revo ltition, characterised by rand, murder, and vio lence in almost eery form, it was carried oa i some respects under the forms or law, but its real Harare was that of force. The violation of law and tbe trampling nnder foot of the dearest right of the preat masses of men waa little lea sadden then those revolutions which hare ditin?uisbed Ike States of Mexico and the countries of South America. It did nut diflt-r from them in character, andwaseqnal in atrocity. It is a matter of the greatest import to the American people to know whether a large majority of the people of the State have been overthrown, and objected tt tbe minority, and also to understand upon what pre tnse or principle such a revolt was brought a boat. The only thin? like principle that should b as samed in justification of such a reull would be that political and civil power should belong ex clusively to tbe white race, or upon the other principle that liat party, the tnemoers of which own mot of tbe property In the State, should be allowed to govern to tbe exclusion of tbe majori ty, who are generally poor, and most of whom hare nothing to depend upon for their sustenance but their lalhr. I apprehend that an investigation of the Mississippi revolution would abow that tbe triumphant minority acted upon both of these principles, and in various wars boldly professed tbem as its doctriues. The question of amnesty which has recently ex cited so much attention is interesting as a matter of justice, of feeling and of example, but the a tionnl que'tion of jiaramount interest is the po litical, social and Industrial condition of the South tbe violation of political, civil and social rights of millions of people and the subversion of tbe will of the majority by violence and intimidation. We stand in the presence of the great danger over hanging the Southern States, in hich lhoe of the Noith are powerfully, and I may say, equally in terested. In many of the Southern States tae policy is openly avowed of seizing all power the hands ol tbe white race and deprivlnjrjjw ored people or their political aiijj , n rights. With this policy, comnion!rlrr5Tvn a the white line. It is belie vedthfc tfrgTlero oc ra cy sympathize In every SoinhSo"r5uite. and 1 fear, to a consid erable MeWluin the Northern States. State after is been conquered from the mnioritv bv vfo'ence. and we are no longer left in doubt as to the purpose thus to establish a solid South in the interest of the Democratic party, and when they shall have obtained control of the national Gov ernment to reconstruct the Southern States upon ine wuire man s oasis, ana to destroy the Kepuo lican party by ninkiriL it impossible for men of Ke publican principles to enjoy and express their opinions in peace and safety. Then, as before the rebellion, the Republican party will be banished from the South and it will be to them as a foreign country. When we consider how fearfully rapid the progress has been in that direction, even un der a Uepublican Administration, we ran under-derM-inci bow it uiiuht be accelerated and consum mated with a Democratic President elected chiefly by the Southern Democracy and necessarily sym pathizing with them in their operations. Let it not be said that 1 do injustice to the Northern Democracy. I beij leave to remind the Sen ate that before the war the Northern Democracy not only counived at the op pression upon the Republican party and its exc!nion from the Southern States, but made merry over and defended the outrages committed in the South upon Abolitionists, and that now and ever since the war the Democratic party cither deny, justify, or excuse the dreadful atrocities committed upon the white and black Republicans in the Southern States. A necessary concomitant of the system of murder, violence and proscription in the Southern States are false hood and perjury. Tbe men who commit these crimes will, a a "matter of course, commit perjnry. In the Ku Klin investigation" snd trials, the ino-t wonder I ul and disguxtiu exhibitions of perjury were witnessed. Many men who had, before tbe Ku-Klnx committee, or on examination in court as witnesses, testified to all want of knowledge of the organization or iU crimes, were afterward conclusively proven to he members of it and guilty. The victims of thee iniamons crimes were covered with the foule-t calumnies, and scarce an outrage wae investigated that vrss not denied tinder oath, or justified, or excused by ths niot infamous fills. -hoods iigaiust the sufferers. A monstrous system of fal.-ehood has been contin ually practiced, not only In Mississippi, but in ev ery Southern State, by which the Government of the United States is constantly charged with the grosseHt and most wicked oppresrion of tbe Southern people. Kppnbliean State and Comity Ooveruinents are asstiiled with charei of corrup tion and oppression, which, in most cases, are ut terly false and grossly exasperated. Many very ignorant people of the Sonth have ihns been made to believe that they are sorely oppressed by the Government of the United States, and that it is, as churned by a distiunished MiKaixxipplan. now a member of Congress, the most tyrannic Govern ment on the face of the earth, and yet. if they were called njKin to specify in what they have sntTered, they could not do it, even if their lives depended on it. The charges of corruption airainst Gov. Ames and every Republican Mate and county of ficial in Mississippi have been so voluble and per xistent that very many of the ignorant have been made to believe them, and have thus, to some ex tent, been hounded on to madness and crime. Many well-meaning people deplore any refer ence to the outrages committed in the South as inimical to reconstruction and harmony between sections. They are exceedingly anxious that in this Centennial vear all p.-w diirereuces shall be forgotten, and the people North and South, for getting aud forgivini; and mindful only of our ereut national future, shall meet and embrace as a nation of brothers. It is a consummation devout ly to be wished, hut I must remind such well meaning people that any formal reconciliation, w hile the dearest rishts of millions are systemati cally violated and the greatest wrong pissed nn noticed and unpnni.-hed, will be the rankest hy pocrisy, revolting alike to divine and human justice. It is only the knavish quack who puts a blister over the mouth of a wo-md and says it is healed. The healing process must bej;in at the bottom and he thorouirh to be permanent and Iwalthy. All the gushing and handshaking which precedes the concession of e ptal riahts and justice to uieit cf all colors snd opinions in the Southern . States w ill he the veriest sham and deceive nobody. Such foul wrongs cannot be ignored and concealed. They will forever obtrude themselves upon the world and cry aloud for redress. It will be the cry of peace, peace, when there Is no peace," and if the sound Republicans of the North turn a deaf ear to the complaints of the Republicans of the South, ami atfect to believe that reconstruction has taken place and that ail is well, they will be jn-tly contemptible in the eves of mankind. The Union meu of the South have been subjected ta trials of which we in the North have but a faint idea, and have shown their faith and patriotism by adherence to their principles under circumstances where the weak, the venal, and the unprincipled have joined the enemy, and the Republicans of the North dare not and will not now abandon them. It me say to this class of people, and to men of the South, there is but one highway to reconciliation, and that is open, straight and free, and over its portals are inscribed these words: Kigual justice to all. To all the equal protection of the laws." And if the Southern people will walk in that highway ther will arrive at tbe temple of peace and find un broken rest tWThe attention of those who believe the Democrats in Congress seriously in tend to retrench is respectfully directed to a few of their measures of reform which we print in our Washington dispatches. Ex-Con fed crate Postmaster-General Kea gtin comes forward with two very inter esting bills, one of which appropriates $12,000 to pay the election expenses of six gentlemen who, he claims, were elect ed t Congress, but refused admission, and the other provides, in effect, for the payment of rebel war claims. Mr. "YY'il shire, of Arkansas, has proposed two equally remarkable measures of reform. One ol them contemplates the restoration to the pension-roll of all veterans of the war of 1812 whose names were erased for disloyalty, and the payment to them, or their heirs, of their pensions, not only from this time on, but for all the time they were fighting against the Union. The other bill does away with the Court of Claims and, virtually, places the adju dication of rebel war-claims in the hands of rebel judges and juries. Mr. Harris, ot Virginia, also ha a bill which is lev eled atthe public purse. These are but a few of the much-talked-of reforms which the Democrats propose to inaugurate, but they serve to show the spirit that animates the party. Inter-Octan. 13?" Had the conquered rebels in the South and their Democratic allies at the North have acquiesced in the results of the war, and borne its burdens as cheer fully as the Republicans, there would be no raking out the smothered embers of civil strite. These are the hyenas, if any should be so called. These men who, for the sake of a paltry ollice, will slap the empty sleeve of the Union soldier in his own face, and seek to crowd him from the favor and employment of the Government, for whose existence he has poured out his blood. Burlington llaick-Ejje. SF The Chicago Inter-Ocean, thinks this would be a rather neat resolution to put in the National Democratic platform that sentence of Hill's.

Thrm ar r ertalh iasajr8s la the speech f the tJontederaU leader, Ben Hill, last week:, in the House of representatives, which are deeply significant, and, coming from representative man,'ooght not to be overlooked. Cheered and applauded by the Democrats, Mr. Hill bravely gave expression to the views of hit Confederate associates. In hit placa-la the Ilouse ha aald: We come te gratify do vengeance r to retaliate, so wrongs; to reseat no patt iU$. We come 'with a patriotic purpose to reetore an honest, economical and constitutional administration of the ttovernment. . , . We- chsr all onr wrongs to thaC hlgher-iaw fanaticism which never kept a pledge or law. - We sought to leave the as sociation ef those ho would not ks;ep fidelity to the covenant.

Mabtvhs owa no aroi.ooT to ttrant, and while we are ready to make every sacrifice for the Union, secession, however defeated aud op pressed, will confess no sin to fanaticism, how ever bigoted and exacting; yet, while we make to yoa no concession, w e say this: We come even to you in no spirit of revenue. We have but one am bition, and that is to add our political power to the patriotic men of the North meaning tue old cop perheads, in order to compel fanaticism to obey the laws and to live in the Union according to the Constitution. We do not propose to compel ycil by oaths, for yoH never kept them.

We ask you. gentlemen of thaJtrtJublfran party, to nse above all juajgttuuuiric aud to forget your oiu sin. a fair expression of the Democrat- c Confederate sentiment at the South. The complaint is that the South was foully wronged; that it went out because the North would not keep ita pledges and would not bo faithful to the Constitution; that the South sought to leave those violating the Constitu tion, and that it for four years carried that Constitution in its bosom, to preserve and keep it sacred; that the North followed them with war, invaded their soil, occupied their country and relentlessly, with ruthless war, harassed and distressed the laitlnui fcoutn, who had become the depository of aud pre server of the Constitution. Now, what wrongs had the South sustained? What pledges had been broken ? What part of the Constitution violated? The South placed its secession upon the distinct rrround that the people of the North had, by a nearly unanimous electoral vote, elected Abraham Lincoln President. That election was de clared to be an all-sufJlcient cause for a dis solution of the Union. South Carolina se ceded in December, lbOO, and Jefferson Davis was elected President of the Confederacy be fore Mr. Lincoln waa sworn into ollice. At the time these Democratic States seceded there was a Democratic majority in both branches of Congress, and the Executive De partment was exclusively Democratic. No wrong had been perpetrated; no wrong was contemplated. The Republican party was under pledge not to interfere with slavery where it existed in the States, and no such Interference was intended. The South se ceded for the purpose of dissolving the Union it could no longer absolutely control and in which it had become a minority, and the election of Mr. Lincoln was a mere pre text. Mr. Hill's arraignment of the North was bnt a repetition of the senseless jariron of the disunionists in 1S0 and lsril. It is des titute of truth mere wild assertion, without a fact to give it even the semblance of truth. The assertion that secession was a consti tutional measure to preserve the Constitu tion inviolate is one of those incohcrencics for which the average Confederate is pecul iar. The seizure of the national forts, and custom-houses, and navy-yards, and arsenals, the tiring upon Sumter, the erection of a new Government, and the raising of a new Hasr, LI ill would have us believe were all meas ures taken to preserve the Constitution in violate, and to preserve the constitutional Government which the people of the North had betrayed and destroyed. All this bur lesque upon history and truth the Democrats of the House applauded to the echo, as also the statement that the Confederates in Con gress had come back to ".restore" a consti tutional Government to the Union, which since lSfiO had been governed by the faithless and perfidious North. After recapitulating the wrongs and out rages" inflicted upon the " South" by the war upon those who had sought to secede, including the barbarities (?) practiced upon the rebel prisoners at Cump Douglas, Elmira and other places where they had been eon lined. Mr. Hill declared that the South, being guiltless of wrong, was not to assume nor to be placed in the position of penitents asking for forgiveness. The South had come back to Congress to aid its old friends and sympathizers, the Northern copper heads, in getting possession of the Govern ment, and not to askpardonof a Government which the South was hereafter to rule and control. But he summed up the Wiole story in the defiant declaration that ' Martyks owe no APOI.OOT TO TTRANTS," nnd "SECESSION, HOWSVER DEFEATED AND OPPKFSsEI), WILL. CONFESS NO SIN TO FANATICISM." The line is here drawn between the mar tyred South and the tvrant North; and it is proclaimed that the South cannot be tor tured into the confession that secession was a sin. This declaration, hurled delinnlly at the representatives of the loyal North by a man who, while bugging the Constitution to bis heart, proposed iu the Confederate Senate that every Northern soldier found in the South should be shot down as a pirate and outlaw, was vociferously applauded by the Democrats. Mr. Hill and his associates, whose hands are red with the blood of coun trymen of the South and the North shed in the "unholy war ' they so basely precipi tated, make but a sorry picture playing the part of martyrs. Nor can he excite much sympathy for himself and associates by claiming that the horrors inflicted upon the unfortunate prisoners at Andersonville were but appropriate punishments lor the armed emissaries of the tyrant North. In all the history of the rebellion we do not think there is a parallel for the brazen impudence and defiant insolence displayed by Ben Hill, of Georgia, in this debate. Ten years have passed since the war. In that time the Northern people have been dealing with these rebels In a spirit or generous lib erality. No man has been punished, or pros ecuted or hung. All have been admitted to suffrage. All but a handful have received entire political rehabilitation. Ben Hill himself sits in Congress through the grace and amnesty of the country he betrayed. Nevertheless the first use he makes of his pardon is to basely malign the generous people of the North, and defiantly proclaim himself a" martyr" in the immaculate cause of secession. Personally this man is but an ingrate; but as a representative of that large class now controlling most of the recon structed States his words convey, to the peo ple of the North the warning lesson that the Democratic party now contains within its body the same hatred of the free North, the same devotion to secession and the same purpose to bend the Government to the purposes of tbe South in as strong a degree aa before or during the war. Can the North yet afford to surrender the control of the Government to-.the spirit of hate and of se cession so boldly avowed by the Confederate leader, Hill, as the spokesman for the South?

The representative of the American thought he would reduce the actual wear of that pair of boots to days, which he has done with the following result: Balance Sheet 1 vear to Jefferson Dayis. There are a good msny reasons why amnesty should be refused Jefferson Davis, and we agree with Mr. Blaine in thinking hia moral responsibility for Andersonville one of them. , .Mr. Hill, of Georgia, an ex -Confederate Senator who replied to Mr. Blaine, had a right to deny this responsibility, but he made a great mistake in attempting to whitewash the rebel prisons, lie was addressing men who had seen the skeletons that came alive out of Andersonville or had sur vived the horrors of Belle Isle, and he might as well have offered statistics to prove that there had been no rebellion as that the names of those and other South ern pnson-camps are not justly to be for ever infamous as scenes of needless, wan ton, devilish inhumanity.

Difficult as it is to prove Davis' direct part in these atrocities, it is mora diMicult to relieve him of immediate moral re sponsibility for them, seeing that he was not in ignorance of the iacts, and that he never lifted a finger even by way of pro test. It is worth while to remind Con gressmen, too, that Wirtz was found guilty by a court-martial of "conspiring and confederating" with Jefferson Davis and others in the cruel treatment of Fed eral prisoners, for which he was hung. It would be simple stultification to am nesty his military superior, who looked upon his conduct with indifference or ap proval. Nation. Nothing ingardening is of more im portance than manure, and it is, of course, never possible to get too much. Iu fact. it is rarely jossible for the gardener to get I enough stable manure, and he must resort i to some others, the cheapest and best of J which, I believe, after several years' trial j of it, to be green manures, or growing crops plowed unaer. Every one knows the value of clover as a fertilizer, but in many parts of the VVrest it cannot be successfully grown, and even then the land must be laid aside two years or more, and with the- gardener this is rarely practicable. After trying many different green crops I am quite certain that for the gardener, and often the farm er, in the West nothing is so valuable as ryi. Its growth is made late in autumn and early in spring, at a time when little else will grow, so that the ground is free for this particular use. In fact, all the tender vegetables are off in time to sow it in September, and the ground is not need ed for them again till May, by which time the rye will be as heavy as can be plowed under. I'pon the farm, too, it comes in nicely, if the succeeding crop is to be corn, roots or potatoes, and more particu larly sowed corn for fodder, for which it seems especially adapted. Even after corn I succeed well with it, sowing it broadcast and cultivating it in. leaving the corn hills standing, as they gather snow and help to protect the rye in winter. I sow the seed thickly about six peoks to the :icre and early ir" possible, so that the plants shall stool out lefore winter, endure exposure better, and make aquick er and larger growth in the spring. When the ground is wanted for planting usually from Mar 20 to June 1 we turn it under with chain. It is often three feet high, and thick as only such a heavy crop can be, but with a heavy chain hung from the end of the whittle cross-bar to the plow le.ani. with slack enough so that it will drag just ahead f the uprising furrow, it will pull down every stalk into the emply furrow as nicely as it could be laid by hand, and the whole mass be buried out ot sight. A little practice will soon teach jut the amount of slack needed. My attention was first called to the value of this crop for manure almost by acci dent. Some years ago, just at planting time, I found myself short of suitable land for still another variety of seed melons, which I waa obliged to grow, and leased ten acres of land upon which was growing a crop of rye. This I turned under and planted to nutmeg melon. The occasional straws sticking up gave the field a rugged appearance for a time, but when the midsummer drought was upon us and other fields 6uccumled this one looked as fresh and vigorous as could be, and in fruiting even exceeded the prom ise its appearance gave. 1 he yield ot seed was more than one-half larger than on similar land in good heart, but not green manured. I have prnct iced it ever since and always with satisfaction, the re suits the last season being on some fields more striking than in any previous year Its wondertul tlliciency in promoting yield is due, I apprehend, not only to the available fertility it furnishes, but also to its mechanical effect on the soil, thus maintaining moisture through our worst droughts. Of course I would myselt, and would recommend to others to, get every forkful ot manure to be bad and apply it. And yet upon the same land I would, in addition, apply green manure whenever practicable. All this is done more evenly by iLc. green crop. Seed and labor to gether cost mo but $3.30 per acre. 1 can not sny that it adds as much fertility to the soil as forty loads of manure, but I do say that in our droughty seasons it pro duces as great an increase of crop as do forty two-horse loads of good manure. It certainly pays to practice it largely even on land well supplied with stable manure, as that increases the vigor and growth of the green cron. which is immediately, with additions, returned to the soil. Journal of Agriculture. Effects of Trees on Clorer. Some species of trees seem to be spe cially injurious to vegetation beneath their shade, and of these the butternut and hickories, or walnuts, are conspicuous ex amples. The fact is frequently noted that clver, corn and hoed crops are especially liable to injury. We have often seen clover killed outright around a butternut tree for a distance equal to the extent of its branches, and also presumably of the underground branches or roots. At the same time clover will thrive under apple, pear or other fruit trees where the ground 13 not unsuitable, and the failure under butternut and walnut trees suggests the query whether it is caused by the roots of one kind of trees cxhausing the moisture near (he surface while the others draw it from the subsoil, or whether it may not rerult from the direct injurious etlects of the drippings of water from the leaves and branches. Many farmers believe that but ternut and walnut leaves poison the soil for certain kinds of crops. In order to test this question we are instituting ex periments, taking butternut leaves and spreading them on a few feet square of clover to note the effect next summer. If the leaves are really poisonous to veg etation the effect will "be seen away from the trees as well as near them. Our gue: is that the butternut-roots exhaust the sub soil moisture worse than the roots of other trees. Butternut makes a poor shade, Assuming WifTcrj farmer has kept an acconi-ruTrent with every department siness, now is the time for him post his books so that he may know to a certainty on which side the balance stands. Without this all is uncertain and unsatis factory ; while with this one knows just what he is doing and how he stands, so far as loss or gain is concerned. Almost every farmer is engaged, to a greater or less extent, in stock raising, while many make it a specialty. In either case, an exact account should be entered in the farmer's account liook of the actual cost, both of purchase and keeping, of each animal. It twenty head of two-year-olds be purchased at $20 each, the amount would be $400, and at the expiration of two years they be sold at $50 each, amounting to $1,000; and the cost of keeping be $20 per head, amounting to $400, the net profit, or gain, would be $200. The same principle would hold in raising stock instead of purchasing. This will apply to hogs, sheep or horses, as well as neat cattle. In the line of cultivation, the farm should be mapped out in five or eight fields, as the case may be. Suppose the system of "rotation of crops" be adopted. Vou begin with No. 1, and plant it with corn. In this preparation you apply twenty loads of manure to the acre. Then plow and prepare it in the most thorough manner; after which plant and cultivate the corn. Thjs is one of the most profitable crops the farmer can raise. The cost of an acre of corn would be nearly as follows, charging for the manure which will bene fit each crop for the five years' rotation: Hauling twenty loud manure, M'c - $10 0f( Plowing the Rrotiiid, prr acre 3 Oil Rolling and marking 1 00 rUu;iu? audced r. 1 00 Cultivating and hoeing flist time 3 OJ Cultivating and hoeiiij; Bccmid time 2 Oil Cutting np and thockiug . 1 TO Hu-kmji 1(0 buiheli cars 3 Oil Drawing and cnbhing 1:0 Threshing -i 00 Total... S8 0 This makes $28 as the cost of an acre of corn, including $10 for manure, which will apply to the subsequent crops, and not over $3 should be charged to the corn. An acre of good corn will yield fifty bush els of shelled corn, w hich may sell at seventy-five cents per bushel. This gives for fifty bushels at 75c $37 f0 The ptaik are worth 7 SO Giving a the total value per acre The Cost being dedncted , .fir, (0 . its 00 There is left per acre $1" 00 In each succeeding crop similar esti mates may be made, keeping in view the benefits of manure and the rough cultiva tion, as in the corn crop, upon each of the crops in the course. By accustoming one's self to this mode of farming the in dividual soon perceives a great improve ment of mind and a sell-reliance in any position in which he may be placed. It is by this systematic training of mind and habits that one class of farmers rise so much above another class in knowledge and influence. There is io roval road to greatness, and if wo would be wise we muet perform the labor that is involved in obtaining knowledge. J his arithmetical principle should be applied to the farm itself in the aggre gate, taking into the account the condi tion of the buildings, garden, orchards and small fruits. It" the farm cost $,(KI0 when in rather poor condition, aud re pairs are put upon any part thereof, an exact account of the cost should be kept, and added to the value of the real esiate Thus, by building a good horse barn for horses, carriages and hay, you expend $200; this is really a valuable improve ment, and of itself may enable you to sell the property for $400 more than it would have brought without it. So in setting out orchards, small fruits, improving the gar den, painting the buildings, fences and the like. It is not merely a question of loss or gain involved in this precise mode of doing things, but also one of enjoyment and safety. Every business man should, like tne successful merchant, train himself to a strict systematic mode of thought and action, and will derive great satisfaction therefrom in subsequent years, as he re views his former life and mode of action. The writer of this article, after years of practical experience, now retired there from, finds it a source of very great enioy. ment in looking over a daily record run ning over thirty years into the past.

A Quebec correspondent, describing the sports off the winter season, says if fou contemplate visiting Quebec, especial y you girls the boys are usually warmly enough clad you must dress for the occa sion, lor the mercury is way down at zero and the moon is shining on a field of snow two feet in depth, and bringing out mj'riads of frosty diamonds, and footsteps till the crisp snow. So put on your warm fur jacket, take off your stiff linen cuffs, take off" your long dress-skirt and replace it with a short quilted one, pull on heavy overstockings and Arctic shoes, and, with a fur cap w ell pulled down over your ears and a cloud wrapped round and round your neck, you'll look like a Canadian girl ready lor a frolic in the snow, and ready to follow anywhere her escort leads. Snow-shoeing and sliding parties are the rage just at present. The tologgin, n which the coastins: is done, is live or six feet long and eighteen or twenty inches wide, made of a thin birch board, perhaps half an inch thick, strengthened by little crossrjars and turned up at the front in a graceful curve. Of course, as they have no runners they are made, ver- saiooth, and on this account an old worn toboggin is better than a new one. There is not a prettier or more picturesque sight than to see a rosy girl flitting swiftly but silent as a shadow down the long hill. You seat yourself on the toboggin with your feet under the curved front and j-our clothes carefully tucked under you, the pilot jumps upon the toboggin back of you, after giving it a start. With one foot dragging behind, like the rudder of a boat, he guides your craft. After the first start you might as well be flying, as far as motion goes. You rush and bound on ward and downward in your mad career, a shower of dry snow rising in your wake. The ropes which 3'ou hold serve to steady you, and you clutch them with a grip of desperation as you skim along, setting your teeth and bracing yourself against anystray " bump" you come to. A bump can be better imagined than described. The Conimon$cnie School. As newspapers call Prof. Jones' School of industrial Instruction, at Evanston, 111., grows in numbers every week.

It has lately been ascertained that the disease is the result of other com plicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pan creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other words, that rheumatism is a symptom. It is also found that, by the removal of the complicated disease, th rheumatism disap pears, as a resultwhich seems to substantiate the theory. We all know, to our sorrow, how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this disease has been, and we now hall with joy the dawn of this new discovery. We all know that the symptoms of these diseases are generally present in cases of chronic rheumatism, but few have supposed the disease to be an effect. To remove these diseases the surest remedy can be found in the phikbs Extract of Roots or Curative Strup; it appears to be working many cures. We refer to the articlrt sold by Druggists and A. J.

In a memoir by Ludickc be shows that the atmospheric p. :?sure diminishes with the waxing and increases with the waning moon. The pressure is less nt ihe perigree ihan at the apogee, and in cneral the effect of the moon upon the atmosphere is the inverse of that which it produces upon the ocean. The observa tions on which his results are based ex tend over eight years ; but the actual effect of the moon upon the barometric pressure, although undecided, is yet exceedingly small. The following pretty optical experi ment is sent to Nature by Prof. F. E. Nipher, of St. Louis: Observe a white cloud through a plate of red glass with one eye and through green glass with the other eve. After some moments transfer both eyes to the red glass, opening and closing each eye alternately. The strength ening of the red color in the eye fatigued by its complementary green is very strik ing. The explanation of the phenomena is.of course, well known, and many modi fications of the experiment will readily suggest themselves.
