I shall arise—tho 4 void my place Around the social friendly hearth; I shall arise, when time apace Shall follow, and end Its life In death. I hall arise—not long the tomb ' Shall bind my dust with silent chains: I shall arise—yes, from Its gloom. When sin no more its power retains. 1 shall arise—tho* still the heart That beat with love and friendship true; I shall arise and soon depart. And bid my grave a last adieu. I shall arise on angels 4 wings My frame, renewed, shall be upborn. Nor cast a look at earthly things On that bright resurrection morn. I shall arise—again we'll meet When loud th' Archangel's trumpet swells; The bliss of heaven will be complete When union all our grief dispels. &BrtcuUural* szc. Planting a Walnut Grove. —As near as J can recollect, about twelve years ago 1 planted a row of these nuts south of my house, on the edge of the ploughed land. I planted in the fall soon after the nuts fell, four feet apart, with a hoe, about two inch es deep, as we used to plant corn down east. The next spring they came up with the other plants. I kept the stock from them for four or five years. The most of them grew rapidly; but they were too thick, and some are now dwarf trees, four to six feet high, while those that got the start went right up, and in six years from planting they bore walnuts, and they continue to bear and grow so that this fall I had sev eral bushel ol' nuts, and have planted a piece of two acres west of my house with them. These I put ten or twelve feet apart. I think it would he better to plough your land as deep as you can before planting. I think it will make little difference wheth er you plough this winter or as soon as the ground opens in the spring. Keep the weeds down and the stock from them, and there is no danger but you will have a grove far more beautiful than the locust, besides the advantage of timber and the nuts. — Cor. of Prairie Farmer. Another correspondent of the same pa per says he planted five acres of walnuts in 1843 and that a large portion of the trees are now standing and are from 20 Jo 35 feet in height, and 8 to 10 inches in diameter. —* Injury to Land by Clearing when too Dry. —lt is a fact that very much of the cultivated portions of the Tinted States have once been covered with forests, and that in preparing the ground for the first crops of wheat, Ac., fire has been used to burn off the rubbish. And it is also well known that a dry time is generally selected in which to accomplish this work. When 44 fallows" are burned in a dry time, and a clean sweep is made by the fire, it is quite a common thing to hear farmers says, 44 1 have had a good burn." In consequence of burning off the rubbish on new land when quite dry, a very large amount of rich vegetable matter is frequently burned, which would have served as manure for many years. The land in the United States is not worth as much, by many mil lions of dollars, as it would have been, had proper care been taken when it was first cleared. Wheat Grown on a Sand Heap. —Mr. Field, of Brooklyn, exhibited before the Agricultural Society some shoots of wheat, thirty stalks to a kernel, grown upon a piece of ground composed entirely of sand, filled in from grading a street, without a particle of manure. What is it that has fertilized these x plants? Is it the wash from the clayey land lying above the strip where the wheat grew, as that is composed so entirely of loose sand that in ploughing the piece I only included it because I could not well leave it rest, but I did not manure it as I did the other portion of the lot, be cause I thought it would not produce any thing ? Vet there grew the best wheat. . ' an an J one answer, unless it is disintegration and an abundance of rain. What does this fact prove ?

The Howard Association, in view of the awful destruc tion of human life caused by sexual diseases, and the deceptions practised U|mii the unfortunate victims of such diseases by Quacks, several-years ago directed their Con sulting Surgeon, as a Charitable Act worthy of their name, to open a Dispensary for the treatment of this class of diseases,- in all their forms, and to give Medical Advice GRATIS, to all who apply by letter, with a de scription of their condition, (age, occupation, habits of life, Aic.) and in cases of extreme poverty to furnish Medicines Free of Charge. It Is needless to add that the Association commands the highest medical skill of the age, and will furnish the most approved modern treat ment. The Directors, on a review of the past; feel as sured that their labors in this sphere of benevolent effort have been of great benefit to the afflicted, especially to the young, and they have resolved to devote themselves with renewed zeal to this very important but much de spised cause.
