Messrs. Editors : Much that is -written upon all practi cal subjects, is necessarily but little else than a rehearsal of what has been writ ten before, modified somewhat by the ex perience of the writer, with whom, in many instances, it may have been origi nal, and, porhujis, entirely new to a num ber of readers ; while to others, though not new, it may be none the less inter esting, as the ideas are clothed with a new garb, and supported by a fresh con firmation. Now, what I propose to com municate in the way of practical value, is already before the public, and my only apology for sounding its echo, is that perhaps the echo may reach the ears of some who have been deaf to the original sound, and that those who are already fa miliar with it, may regard it with increas ed confidence. In the early part of May, I observed that one of my weaker swarms was at tacked by its more powerful neighbors, and was rapidly loosing its valued treas ures. The bees were rushing in and out with fearful rapidity, presenting an appearance at a distance not very dissim ilar to the issuing of a swarm. I plainly saw that something must be done, and that without delay, or my little colony must fall a victim to the ruthless invaders. Never having had a case of the kind before, I could not avail myself of past experience, and so with a feeling of con fidence, tock counsel with my old guide, that had thus far safely led me through the mazy avenues of apiaran experience Quinby's "Mysteries of Bee-Keeping Explained."' And then, as the sequel proved, I found precisely the thing which 1 needed. In discussing the subject of robbing, Mr. Quinby says : "As for remedies, I have tried sewral. The least trouble is to remove weak hives in the night to cellar, or some dark, cool place, for a few days, until at least two or three warm days have past, that they may abandon the search. The robbers will then prob ably attack the stock on the stand. Con u act the- ctunince of this in accordance with the number of bees that are to pass. If strong, no danger need to be appre hended." He further adds, on the next page : Another method is, when 'ou are sure a s'ock is being robbed, to take a time when there are as many plunderers inside as you can get, and close the hive at once, (wire-cloth, or something to admit air, and at the same time confine the bees, is necessary;) carry in as before, for two or three days, when they may be set out. The strange bees thus enclosed will join the weak family, nnd will be as eager to defend what is now their treasure, as they were before to carry it ofT. This plan succeeds for about four times out of five, when a sufficient number is enclosed. Weak stocks are strengthened in this way very easily; and the bees being taken from a number of hives are not missed. The difficulty is, to know when there is enough to be about equal to what be longs to the weak stock ; if too few are enclosed, they are surely all de stroyed." Now, as mine was a weak swarm, I roucluded to try the latter method, hoping thereby, not only to prevent further rob bing, but also to strengthen the swarm. On checking the operations in that hive by closing the entrances, the greedy lit tle fellows flew around in wild excite ment, still intent on plunder, and made a descent on several adjacent hives, when, by the aid of contracted passages of in gress and egress, they were enabled to repel their assailants,j.hough not without considerable sacrifice of life ; tnd thus my apiary was soon restored to its won ted harmony. The hive in question, was that evening removed to the cellar, from whence it was taken after the lapse of three days, since which it has been unmolested, and by the operation was transformed from a puny swarm to one of my most vigor- ous ones a stnuincr illustration 01 tne remark that "evil designs are thwarted that ood may come." "My success was so complete, and so easily achieved, that I felt constrained to present it to yon readers, believing there is no bettor way. when prudently man aged, of disposing of this casual annoy ance. P. Chatham Center, N. Y. Importance or Selecting Sheep. Let every shep-breeder, as his ewes are sheared, examine carefully the quality of the fleece, and mark all that do not me up to the standard of excellence, so that if any ones are to be fattened or soli they may be these. It is just as easy and far more profitable to have the flock of uniform quality, as to have sev- eral irrades ; for the wool buyers will not pay for a mixed lot as hirh in proportion as for an even quality. In selecting for breeding, a good constitution,, weight of fleece, short legs, a barrel-shaped body, and yield of milk, should be among the essential points, for reasons apparent to every one; and there is no time so good for a thorough examination of the sheep as when shearing. If there are ticks on the sheep let them run two weeks after shearing, and then dip the lambs in diluted tobacco iuice. Industry is a sure road to wealth. Canning Fruits. The following method is reliable, and in every way superior to the old method of putting the fruit in the cans before heating, and then immersing in boiling water. I have preserved in this way, tomatoes, peaches, cherries, pears, quin ces, apples, and pumpkins for pies, and find all to keep for two years as fresh as when put up. Select good, sound, ripe fruit, and put it up as speedily as possible 'after it is gathered. Peaches, pears, sweet pump kin for pies, tomatoes, and berries of all kinds, can be preserved for years if the directions are observed: Prepare the fruit by paring, and ston ing, or coring, when necessary, and put it over a slow fire in a brass or porcelain kettle the latter is better as it does not discolor fruit with sugar enough to make sufficient syrup to fill all the cavities in the can when the fruit is in. Have rea dy your cans, and as soon as the mass is thoroughly heated through, skim out the fruit and put it in the cans quite hot, and pack it as tight as practicable. Then pour in syrup till it is full as it can possibly be to permit the covering to be sold red on. I used round tin cans holding about a quart each, with a round aperture in the top from two to three inches in diameter. I have circular pieces of tin cut a little larger than the aperture in the cans, with a hole punched in the center of each. As soon as the can is filled, solder the piece of tin over the apperture, then a drop of srlder over the little hole in the center, and the thing is done. I think the old fashioned tin cans, soldered as I have tie scribed, the most reliable, though it is, perhaps, a little more trouble to use them than some of the self-sealing cans, as they are called. The object is to have the ar ticle preserved, thouroughly heated, and to fill the can as near full as possible; and if these two requisites are observed, and the can then sealed, I think the fruit will keep as long as the can remains perfect ly air-tight. It is necessary, sometimes, when the fruit is not sufficiently juicy to form syrup enough to fill the cans, to add a little water. Tomatoes need no sugar or water. It is very convenient ia filling, to have a very w ide-mouthed fun nel that just fits the aperture in the tops of the cans; and it is best not to use the iron ladle or skimmer to stir or dip out the fruit, as it will discolor peaches and some other fruits. From tlie Country Gentleman. Difference in Soils. Soil is the earth wherein crops of ev ery kind are produced. The component parts are argill, sand, water and air. Arcill is the soft and unctious part of clay. Argill and sand contain each, 1:1 nearly equi! dcgiee, the food of plants! There are different kinds of soils, which may be divided into four classes, namely; clay, sand, gravel, and what is termed peat earth. There is, however, another kind of soil called garden mold, but, as it is mainly of artificial creation, it can hardly be ranked with natural or origi nal soils. Loam, too, has been consider ed by some as an original earth, but in reality it is an artificial soil, produced by calcareous matters, and animal and veg etable manures. In process of time the strongest clay may be converted into a loam, by repeated applications of the sub stances just mentioned. Sandy soils may also be converted into light loams by the application of lime, chalk, marl and clay. And even peat may be turned into black, soft loam, and rendered fertile and pro ductive, A clay soil differs from all other soils, and is tough and cold, and requires a good deal of labor to render it fit for bearing artificial crops of corn or grass. When once wetted it loes not soon dry, and if thoroughly dry it is not easily made wet. j nen 's rowe(l ni a wet state it sticks to the plow like mortar, and in a dry sum mer the clods can scarcely be broken by the harvest roller. Sandy soils are managed with much less trouble, and at an expense greatly inferior to what clay soils require ; but the crops which are produced from them are generally of smaller value. There are several varities of sandy sous, and in ! s.ome Plants will not thrive, unless a por tion of cood earth is previously mixed A true sandy loam resting upon a sound subsoil, is called the most valuable of all soils upon which all kinds of grain may be raised with advantage, and no soil is better adapted for turnips or grass. San dy soils thoroughly invigorated with clay and marl, by judicious management, will produce the lamest crops. Gravelly soils feebly imbibe moisture, and part with it with great facility. From the lightness of their texture, they are neither expensive nor difficult in the means of cultivation. They are usually barren, but by frequent application of manure, and by frequent returns of grass, I they may be made tertile and prolific. Deep plowing is essentially necessary, so that the surface soil may be augmented, and greater room given to the growth of plants cultivated on them. If shallow plowed, it is either turned up in a day or two of drought, or equally injured by excessive rain. Peat earth, probably, is an artificial soil, produced by certain substances de posited upon the surface of the earth. Philosophers, however, disagree on this point. By one it is called a primitive earth, by another a vegetable, which grows and increases, and continues to increase till it destroys all other soils; and by a third, that it consists of ligneous and aquatic plants. It has been said that one fourth of the habitable globe is peat or moss earth, and it is, perhaps, surprising that so little is known on a subject of so much importance. This soil is friendly to the growth of oats, if previously it has been summer-fallowed and enriched with manure. A heavy crop of wheat, if the season is favorable, may also be obtained. As to the uses to which soils may be most advantageously applied, it is requi site thaUiy soil be kept rich and full of manure, which qualifies it for carrying crops of wheat, oats, beans and clover. Usually, clay soils require great industry and care, and a thorough knowledge in the dressing, to keep them in a proper condition. No soil is so ungrateful as this one, if allowed to get into a sterile condition ; but if manured profusely with an occasional summer-fallowing, it will yield the heaviest and most abundant crop of any soil. Upon light soils the case is somewhat different. The facility with which they are cultivated, furnishes encouragement to keep them under the plow. Grasses flourish the best, and summer-fallow is rarely required. The best method, per haps, of procuring wheat, is to sow upon a clover stuble, which gives an artificial solidity to the soil, and is thereby ren dered capable of sustaining this grain un til it arrives at maturity. From the Country Gentleman. 31) Verbenas. May 2Sth. I have been completely upset for the last three or four days, so that I scarcely know "if I be I or no." The first blow to my self-posession was struck last Monday by a most extraordi nary announcement. "One hundred Ver benas!" And for me! Me, my own self ! One hundred ? I could scarcely credit my eyes or my ears. But eyes and ears at length carried the day, and the next thought was one of impatience oh, if Mr. K. had but waited two hours, be fore starting for Rock Island, he might have called at the express office, and ar ranged to have them brought up. But it is a good thing to be obliged to curb one's impatience, and I have no doubt my char acter was considerably strengthened, that day and the next; for on the next day we sent down by the hack, and I succeeded tolerably until toward five o'clock, when we expected it back, not mentioning "my Verbenas" oftener than once in a half hour, I suppose, during the earlier part of the day, nor oftener than twice every fifteen minutes afterwards. How I strain ed my eyes! went over to the other house and looked down the road, and came home and sat by the window and watched I Five o'clock came. Fire minutes fif teen minute; half an hour passed. Six o'clock! and I then Jfuiried that lay eyes had not been sharp enough to see the hack when it came, and that there was nothing at the express office for me. An other day dragq-ed on; this time we did not see the hack go down. The next day I had a headache; but I heard the stage go by, and I said to myself, "no verbe nas to-day." So it was like an entirely new announcement when I was called out to witness the opening of the box. Talk of the bliss of 4 Love's young dream!" what is it to the thrilling ccstacy with which I caught my first glimpse of the interior or that tiox ! Ihe very first thing I saw was the exquisite truss of that little darling, the Imperatrice Elizabeth. I had only seen Mr. Sanders' descrip tion of it, in the Country Genteman last winter, but I knew it instantly. The next thing that caught my eye was Snow's catalogue, and I forgot my he idache for awhile in sorting the kinds, and deciding-d which should go in the bed which no less important affair than such an arrival of Verbenas could have induced thf owner of this pet piece of turf to have cut in it, right under my window, my verbena win dow ! Now, all is satisfactorily arranged ; I nursed my patience in a most uncommon manner, from the time of their first an nouncement till these verbenas came, then I needed it just as much till I had them all safely in the ground, and now how can I wait till they are in blossom ! Ida. Colic In Horses- Colic in horses is a very common dis ease, and if taken in time may be easny cured in most cases. It is not unfre quently confounded with inflammation of the bowels, but is easily distinguished as follows : Colic has no increase of the pulse, which is not over fifty a minute; the ani mal often rolls; the disease intermits, and there is but little fever. "With inflam mation of the bowels there is much fever; the pulse is sometimes a hundred a min ute, the attack is gradual, and the disease does not intermit. "When colic arises from badfootf, a pint or so of a solution of saleratus will often afford entire relief. As it assumes more of a spasmodic character, peppermint and ginger may be added. We have used with entire and immediate success, a small spoonful of saleratus, the same quantity of ginger, and a tea spoonful of peppermint, added to a pint of nearly boiling hot water, and given from a junk bottle. Powdered charcoal is one of the best and safest medicines for any dis ease resulting from derangement of di gestion and two or three ounces or more mixed with water, may be friven at any time with great advantage. Inflammation of the bowels is general ly increased by irritating medicines. A drink of slippery elm, hourly, and giving the horse but little food, and letting him i rest, is safe treatment.

The city of Mexico was much excited recently by a decree of the government I imposing a forced loan of one per cent, on the capital of foreigners. Mr. For syth, the United States Minister, formal ly protested against the enforcement of the decree, and recommended American cit izens to "decline to pay any contribu tions which may be assessed upon their capital by the commissioners provided for that purpose." The French Minister sustained the action of the government. The English minister asked time to con sider and advise with his government, be fore the contributions should be enforc ed. A letter from Mexico says: "All classes of foreigners flocked around the United States Legation ; and if it had been possible to take oaths of allegiance to the Star Spangled Banner, and to grant protection at the same time, the number of American citizens would be much larger at the present time. A correspondence took place between the government and the British minister, in which the latter repeated his request that the law should remain inoperative until he could consult with his government, and stated that, if the Mexican authorities should proceed to enforce it, they would do so at their peril The. end of the mat- ter was, that the action of the law was set aside for three months, which is con sidered as equivalent to knocking it or, the head. Detroit. Free Press. Virtue s beyond price. Labor Essential to Excellence. Lord Brougham, has like Cicero, dis coursed largely upon his art; and not Cicero himself has insisted more strenu ously upon the absolute necessity of in cessant study of the best models, and the dilligent use of the pen. His speeches, a selection from which, in two volumes has been recently published, are an evi dence that he has done both in his own person. Ilrs familiarity with Demosthe nes is attested by his imitation of some of his noblest passages; and he is gen erally understood to have written several of his celebrated perorations again and again. No man has spoken more fre quently off-hand, or has had a more inex haustible supply of language, knowledge and sarcasm at command. He, if any one, might have been supposed capable of dispensing with the preparation he has practised and enforced ; and we could desire no stronger illustration of the ex ternal truth, that excellence and labor are never disjointed. In the speeches of Pitt, Fox, Sherridan, and Canning, we seek in vain for specimens of orator which, when separated from the context, would give an adequate idea of their powers, and do justice to their renown. Their most perfect pages would disappoint those whose opinion of their genius is chiefly derived from traditionary fame. In tlie cases of Lord Brougham, the best pane gyric of his highest eloquence is to tran scribe it. It is thus that he winds wp his tptech on Law Reform, in 1S2S: "You saw the greatest warrior of the age conqueror of Italy humbler of Germany terror of the North saw him account all his matchless victories poor, compared with the triumph you are now in a condition to win saw him contemn the fickleness of Fortune, while in spite of her he could pronounce his memorable boast, "I shall go down to posterity with the Cede in my hand !' You have van quished him in the field; strive now to rival him in the sacred arts of peace ! Outstrip him as a law-giver, whom in arms you overcome ! The luster of the Regency will be eclipsed by the more solid and enduring splendor of the reign. It was the boast ofAugustus it forjned part of the glare in which the perfidies of liis earlier years were lost that he found Rome of brick and left it of mar ble. But how much more noble will bo the Sovereign's boast, when he shall hare it to say that he found law dear aod lefl it cheap; found it a sealed book, lefl it a living letter, found it the patrimony of the rich, left it the inheritance of the poor; f'rd it the two-edged sword vt craft a ml ( ppres.sion. left it the staff of honesty am: the shield of innocence." Nobody nf-eds n be told that this con clusion must have ben labored in ad vance, because it is not within the com pass of human intellect to have sustain ed the antithesis in language so felici tous. and condensed by any extensive ef fort. Quarterly Review. John Randolph and Daniel Web ster. Among the Legislators of that day.bul not of them, in the fearful and solity sub limity of genius, stood a gentleman from Virginia, whom it was superfluous to des ignate. "Whose speeches were univer sally read? Whose satire was universal ly feared ? Upon whose accounts did this habitually listless and unlistening house hang, so frequently, with rapt at tention? "Whose fame was identified with that body for so long a period ? Who was a more dexterous debater, a riper schollar, better versed in the poli tics of our own country, or deeper read in the history of others? Above all, who was mure thoroughly imbued with the id iom of the F.nglish language more com pletely master of its strength, and beau ty, and delicacy, or more capable of breathing thoughts of flame in words of magic and tones of silver ? Nor may I pass over in silence a rep resentative from New Hampshire, who has almost obliterated all memory of that distinction ty the superior fame he has attained as a Senator from Massachu setts. Though then but in the bud of his political life, and hardly conscious, perhaps, of his own extraordinary pow ers, he gave promise of the greatness he has achieved. The jame vigor of thought, the same force of expression, the short sentences, the calm, cold, collected man ner; the air of solemn dignity ; the deep, sepulchral, unimpassioned voice ; all have been developed only, not changed, even to the intense liUc-ruess of his frigid irony. The piercing coldness of his sarcasms was indeed peculiar to him; they seemed to be emanations from the spirit of the icy ocean. Nothing could be at once so novel and so powerful , it was frozen mercury becoming as c&uslie as red-hot iron. Wilde. Neither men nor women become what they were intended to be by carpeting their progress with velvet; real strength is tested by difficulties. Does not the echo in the sea-shell tell of the worm which once iehabited it? and shall not man's good deeds live after him and sing his praise ? "Advice," says Coleridge, "is like i snow ; the softer it falte, the longer it dwells pon, and the deeper it sinks into tho mind." t the events of vofk are stamped into the memorv ..Imarsl foOt- ui age, as ".- in dey. and preserved m made stone.
