*Thc favmcv's glepurtment, Nathan and the Chemist, A shrewed chemist, devoting him self to the missionary work of build ing up farming by the aid of his sci ence, pays a parochial visit to one of the backsliders whom he counts most needful "of reformation. The back slider,—l will call him Nathan, —is breaking up a field, and is applying the manure in an unfermented and unctious state the very act of sin ning, according to the particular the ory of our chemist, perhaps who ur ges that manures should be applied only after thorough fermentations. lie approaches our plowing farm er with a " Good morning." "Morning'." returns Nathan (who never wastes words in compliment.) "I see you use your manure unfer mented*" " Waal, I d'n'know—guess it's all right; sme'ls pootygood, doan't it ?" " Yes, but don't you lose something in the smell?" " Waal, d'n'know ; —kinder hard to bottle much of a smell, ain't it?" " But why don't you compost it; pack up your long manure with turf and muck, so that they will absorb the ammonia ?" " The what ?—(Gee, Bright!)" «' Ammonia ; precisely what makes the guano act so quickly." " Ammony, is it? Waal, —guan- ner has a pooty good smell tew; my opinion is, that manure ought to have a pooty strong smell, or 'taint good for nuthin." Scientific gentleman a little on tho hip ; but revives under the pungency of the manure. " And if you were to incorporate your long manure with turf and oth er material, you would make turf good manure, and put all in a better state for plant food." " Waal—(considering)—l've made compo's afoiv now ; dooz pooty well for garden sa'ss and sich like, but it seems to me kinder like puttin' wa ter to half a glass o' sperit; it make a drink a plaguey sight stronger'n water, no doubt o' that ; but after all's said and dun, —'taint so strong as the rum. (Ilaw Buck ; why don't ye haw !)" Scientific gentleman wipes his spec tacles, but follows after the plow. "Do you think, neighbor, you're plowing this sod as deeply as it should be ?" " Waal—(Gee, Bright!)—it's as folks think ; 1 doan't like myself to turn up much o' the yaller ; its a kind o' cold sile." " Yes, but if you exposed it to the air and light wouldn't it change char acter, and so add to tho depth of your land ?" " Doan't know but it might; but I ha'n't much opinion o' yaller dirt no how ; I kinder like to put my corn and potatoes into a good black sile, if I can get it." " But color is a mere accidental circumstance, and has no relation to the quality of the soil." (" Gee, Bright! gee !") " There are a great many mineral elements of food lying below, which plants seek after ; don't you find your clover roots running down into the yellow soil ?" " Waal, clover's a kind of a tap rooted thing,—materal for it to run down ; but if it runs down arter the yaller, what's the use o' bringin' on it up ?" The scientific gentleman sees his chance for a dig. " But if you can rtiake the progress of the roots easier by loosening the sub-soil, or incorporating a portion of it with the upper soil, you increase tho facilities for growth and enlarge your crops." "Waal, that's kinder rash'nal; and ef I cou'd find a man that would nn dertake to do a little of the stirrin' of the yaller, without bringin' much on't up, and bord himself, I'd fur nish half the team and let him go ahead," " But wouldn't the increased pro duct pay for all the additional la bor ?" *' Doan't b'lieve it would, nohow, between you and I. You see you gentlemen with your pockets full o' money (scientific gentleman coughs— slightly,) talk about diggin' here and (liggin there, and turnin' up the yaller, and making compo's, but all that takes a thunderin' sight o' work. (Gee, Bright! g'lang, Buck!'' The scientific gentleman wipes his spectacles, and tries a new entering wedge. " How do you feed your cattle, neighbor ?" " Waal, good English hay; now and then a bite o' oats, 'cordin' as the work is." " But do you make no beeves ?" " Hell ?" % " Do you fatten no cattle ?" -» "Yaas, long in the fall o' year I yut up four or five head, about the time turnips are comin' in." •" And have you ever paid any at tention to their food with reference to its fat-producing qualities, or its Albuminoids ?" " (Gee, Bright!)—bumy—what ?" " Albuminoids—name given to flesh producers, in distinction from oily food." " Oh, —never used'em. Much of a feed ? .(G'lang Buck I" " They are constituents parts of a good many varieties of food ; but they go only to make muscle ; it is'nt de sirable you know to lay on too much fatty matter." u Ileh keep off the fat do they ? (Gee, Bright!) Dtim poor feed, then; in my opinion." By this time the end of the furrow is reached, and the scientifiec gentle man walks pensively toward the fence "while Nathan's dog that has been sleeping under a tree, wakes up, and sniffs sharply at the bottom of tho strangers pantalooes. 1 have written this much, in this vein, to show the defensible position of many of the old style farmers, crusted over with their prejudices— many of them well based, it must be admitted—and armed with an inex tinguishable shrewdness. The only way to prick through the rind is to show them a big crop grown at small cost, and an orderly and profitable method, gradually out-ranking their slatternly husbandry.—37 y Farm of Edgewood. durational Department. ''School Economy" in the District Institutes. I have been inquired of, by so many teachers, lately, as to the best way of using tho "School in the Dis trict Institute, that I have come to deem the subject of sufficient importance tc jus tify the insertion of a lew suggestions con cerningit, in the School Journal. Byadop ting this course, I can save time for my self, and also present a more full statement of Ay views, than is often convenient in private letters. 1 As to the Leader of the Exercise. — It is customary in a District Institute, to select a leader or teacher for oacli branch studied. This done, the members of tho Institute resolve themselves into a class, and the leader proceeds to hear the recita tion, or to give instruction, much in the same way as 111 a school. If the leader is competent, and has made ample prepara tion, the exercise most likely proves val uable and interesting, but if not, little good can be accomplished. Much care, then, is generally required in tho selection of leaders for the Institutes, and this is especially true in the study of Teaching. The subject is so difficult in itself, and so poorly understood, that but few arc found in our Teachers' Institutes, who have mustered its principles sufficiently well, to teach them with effect. In these circumstances my advice is, to select the teacher who is best qualified by reading and experience, to give instruction. Take one, if possible, who has himself been instructed at a normal school, or who is familiar with works on Teaching. If one can be chosen, who has studied mental and moral science, the Institute will profit by it. 'l. As to Lesson*. — District Institutes in this State, meet once in two weeks. If tho members are industrious, they ought to prepare, readily, for each meeting of the Institute, with their other lessons, twenty pages of the book—in some part of it, more than that number. Tho length of the lessons, however, must de pend upon the circumstances of the class. No difference is required to be made in the preparation for a lesson to be discuss ed at an Institute, or for one tube recited at a school. It should be well learned— not barely understood, but fully known. S. As to the Discussion. —l call the ex ercise at the Institute a discussion , rather than a recitation, and I believe that great er good will be accomplished, if it par takes more of the character of the former, than of the latter. The matter of the " School Economy" is so arranged that it admits of a close recitation; and at a Normal School I would bring every para graph and every sentence before the class, j Hut a District Institute is, in several re spects, unlike a Normal School. It meets but once in two weeks, and tho lessons learned aro too long to. be recited in de tail. It has no regular teacher. Its members cannot be subjected to careful, systematic training. Tho result is, that its exercises must be moro loose and pop ular, —at least, such should be tho case at present, with those 011 teaching. In view of these facts, I advise the leader of nn Institute, in teaching, to ar range in his own mind, a series of the most important points presented in the ■ book, appertaining to the subject of the lesson, and submit them for consideration to the class. Ho may first state one point, and ask some member of the class to give what is said respecting it in the book, aud then call for the opinion of tho class. A second point may be submitted, in the same way, and afterward, a third, and so on, to the end. If the remarks of the various members of the class are made brief, and confined to the subject, the ex l ercise will be full of interest, and produc tive of much good. In this way, the greater "part of the book can be studied and discussed, 4 in a term of six months. It is a most cheering thing to see our teachers beginning to take so much inter est in the study of teaching; and these suggestions are made in the hope that they may help those who seem so anxious to help themselves.— Pennsylvania School Journal. ®QS" The love of the beautiful and true like the dew drops in the heart of the crystal, remains forever clear and liquid in the inmost shrine of man's being, though all the rest be turned to stone by sorrow. lISO4.

PROSPECTUS, TIIE NEW YOIIK TRIBUNE, first issued April 10, 1841, has to-day a la 1 <;er aggregate circulation than any other newspaper puhli.-diediti America,or (we beliket in tho world. Compelled a year since to iucrease tne price of its several issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its proprietors from the very magnitude of its circulation, it uas probably since patted with some patrons to whom its remarkable cheapness was a controlling recommenda tion; but others have taken their place, and it has now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu lar purchasers—an excess of at least Fifty Thousand over those of any rival. And this unprecedented curreney It has achieved by very liberal expenditures iu procuring early and authentic intelligence, by the fearless expres sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in any department of our enterprise, and by unshrinking fidelity to tho dictates of Justice, Humanity, nnd Free dom. By very large on I lays for early and anthentic advices by telegraph ami otherwise from its own correspiindents with the various armies of the Union, and by special ef forts to furnish such information respecting 3lai kefs, Crops, new discoveries or improvements In Agriculture, Ac,, a* must specially interest farmers,we have assidiously labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants and subserve the interests of the Producing (lasses.— TIM t end we have at least measurably attained; fbr no other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is habitually ro.nl by nearly so many fanners and their fain illes is i-. TNE THIBUNK io-day. We shall labor to increase both the number and tho satisfaction of this by far tho most numerous class of its patrons. Di ring the existence of the Whig party-, this paper supported that party, though always sympathizing with the more liberal, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there of. \V lien new issues dissolved or transformed old organi zations through the I pontane*ms uprising of the people of the Free States against the repudiation of the Mi-somi Rest/id ion. The Tribune heartily participated In that movement, and was kn wn as Republican. When the long smoldering conspiracy fo it 1 vide ami dest loy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated in overt treason ami rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance t«. this con spiracy ns paramount to all other considerations, and de votod all its e' orgies and etb.rts t<-the maintenance of our Union. In every great controversy which has divided ourcountry, it has been found on that side which natu rally commands the sympathy and support of the largo majority of school-houses and the decided minority of grog-shops, and so doubtless will be to to the last. Ardently desiring and strivin for the early and endu ring adjust ineiit of our National distractions. The Tribune leaves the time, the nature and the conditions ol that ad justment implicitly to those lawfully iu authority, con fiding iu their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost iu their arduous responsibilities and not to embarras-i them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the Aposb lie rule—"First pure Men peacea ble"—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla very is the true and only absolute cure for our National ills—that any expedient that stops short of this ca* have but a transient and Illusory success—we yet pro pound no theory of "reconstruction'' and indorse nono that has been propoufelad by another—neither Sum ner s. nor Whiting's, i.or miy of the various Copperhead devices for achieving ' Peace" by surrounding the lie public into the power of its traitorous foes—but, exhor ting, the American People to have faith in their Govern ment. to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury, we believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign Providence will in dno time bring this fearful struggle to such a clone as will best subserve tho true grentnoes of our country and the permanent well-being of mankind. We respectfaly solicit the subscriptions and active exertions of our friends, and of all whose views and con victions substantially with ours. TERM.4 OF DAILY TRIBUNE.
