Mr church In town! It fronts our square,
With Gothic portnls-Scott designer
Toll spire, nnil painted windows rare,

And makes mo think tho gospel salt

Where Dives sits, I look In Vain
For Lazarus, even nt tho portal I
X wonder, does tholr creed maintain
Tho rich man only Is Immortal?
And yet my mind Is somewhat eased !
80 vain and vapid Is tho prrnchlny,
That Lnznrus hardly would lie pleased
To gather fragments of such teaching.
It would lio worthier of tho tlmos,
And talk of clnrltabla grnces,
If wo took euro tho Sunday chimes
Should sometimes sound In silent places.
Tho brotdored altar-cloth might tell
Of pious hands, and yet bo plainer,
A simpler, holler rlto wero well,

AGRICULTURAL.
Manure.
What Is It? Webster defines It as
" anything that fertilizes land." Is this
tho sense In which tho term is generally
accepted? That somo so receivo it is
ovidont from their general practico;
but Judging from observation of the
practico of a largo class of would-be
oconomical farmers, wo should bo dis
posed to concludo that the term was re
Btricted or limited to a less liberal dell
nition. Somo treat It as if manure was
only tho excrement of animals, and ap
ply only such, devoid as possible of
mixture of other substances, to their
. lands and crops; such, however, I am
happy to say, aro fow, and annually di
minishing as progress is mndo in en
lightened agriculture I havo observed
close-calculating, monoy-niakiug, and
saving, economical armors apply to
their crops raanuro from horned cattle
as dovold of any kind of litter or other
matter as it was possible to mako it in
tho stablo wlthbut furnishing any litter,
except such orts as cattle, kept short, re
fused to eat. Tho consequences were,
their crops wero less in proportion to
tho manure applied than those whero a
liberal supply of other matter was add
ed. Tho land, when seeded to grass,
soon became, turf-bound, and but ono or
two fair crops could bo obtained, the
soli being so closo and hard that it was
Imposslblo for it to impart nourishment
to plants grown therein. Again in my
own experience, and observation of (he
practico of others, I havo seen excellent
crops grown with a much less quantity
of manure where it was made of a mix
ture of ingredients, and tho land when
seeded to grass continued to give suc
cessive paying crops of hay for a term
of years. Now why this difference when
tho soil and culture wero as nearly simi
lar as it is possiblo to be when in near
proximity? Is it not that tho compost
ed manure furnished a greater variety
or amount of elements that entered into
the composition of plants, and also that
it altered tho mechanical condition of
tho soil to a much larger extent than tho
non-compost? I think it bulb to draw
such inference or conclusion. There aro
many mineral substances that furnish
some ono or moro of tho elements that
enter into tho construction of nil plants;
these, if added to tho soil, fertilize it as
well in such particular as uuimul or
vegctahlo matter. Oftentimes merely
altering the texture of a soil by mechan
ical means has tho eiTect to fertilize it
by allowing a more freo transition of nir
and water, these substances imparting
somo clement held in combination, such
clement uniting with some of tho other
clemonts of tho soil and setting others
free, ready to form new combinations,
or to enter into plant structure as food.
This alteration of tho structure of tho
Boil by mechanical means has a far great
er effect upon its fertility than at first
supposed, mid is a means too littlo re
sorted to by all farmers or cultivators of
tho soil in this country. Too much can
not bo said on the importanco of stirring
and lining tho soil in general for culti
vated crops. It not being my object to
mako any extended commentary upon
any or all tho Inferences to bo drawn
from theso suggestions, I pasi them,
leaving thorellectingreader to supply Ids
own.
Whero shall I get It? I answer from
every source j thoanimal, vegetable, and
mineral kingdom, all contain tho ele
ments that aro needed to furnish susten
ance to growing plants or vegetation.
Most farms are capablo of supplying tho
material necessary, tho main requisites
being intelligence, labor, and economy.
Theso combined form tho elements of
success in any undertaking. You may
havo at your command muck, woods
mould, etc. Theso substances of them
selves aro rich in tho elements of fertil
ity, having boon formed principally
from decayed vegetable mattor, and
when composted or in , 1 with animal
or mineral substance their value is
greatly enhanced. I have seen muck
hauled direct from Its bed, thrown out
nnd allowed to Ho a few woeks or
months, and applied to land whero va
rious kinds of farm crops wero planted,
und as flno crops grown as I evor saw
from any other fertilizing mattor, tho
soil on which it was applied being a
sandy loam of medium tenacity. In
localities whero stablo manure is not to
bo had insullldcnt quantities, and tlic30
substances uro abundant, it will pay u
good per centago to raiso hogs and buy
corn to feed them on for their increase
nnd tho manure they will mako, Two
or threo hogs will work up a cubic yard

application of guano, superphosphate,

produce a good crop whero hill or drill
crops aro cultivated. Tho trees now
about shedding their leaves will furnish
a largo amount of excellent bedding and
absorbing material, which it would bo
well for all In want to avail themselves
of. Let, then, all economical farmers
lay In n stock, and not only leaves, but
provldo a quantity of muck to bo kept
dry, to mix in with their inanuro during

over any and nil
SEWING-MACHINES IN TEE WORLD:
Wit makes four different stitches, the lock,
knot, double-lock, and double-knot, oi. ono mid
the sumo machine. Each stitch being alike on
both sides of the fabric.
Kir Every Machine has tho revcrslblo feed mo
tion, which enables the operator, by simpty turn
ing a thumb-screw, lo hau the wink inu either
to Hie right or leu, to slay any part of the vemn,
or fasten tlic endsof siiuus, wilhout turning the
fabilc.
Itlr Changing the length of stllcli, nnd from
one kind of stitch to another, can lemlily bo done
while tliu .Machine Is In motion.
OSS-The needle Is easily adjusted, and dots not
skip stitches.
If3- It Is almost noiseless, and can bo used
whennjulct is necessary.
3"Its motions aro all positive; there nro no
sorlmrs to uet out of order, mid Its sbnttlfellv en.
ables any ono lo operate It.
5- It does not rciiulro liner threndon tho under
than lor the upper side, and will sew across the
heaviest seam, or fiom ono to more thicknesses
of cloth, without change or needle, tension, break
ing thread, or skipping studies.
6-Tho Heiuiner Is easily adjusted, and will
turn any width of hem desired.
