Different Kinds of Soil.
Boils are usually designated by terms ex
pressive of t!ie predominant material in their
composition, thus we hear sandy, loamy, grav
elly, clayey, calcareous or chalky and alluvial
soils.
A sandy soil is that in which sand is the
principal ingredient. Such soil is usually quite
defective. It is so porous that it parts almost
instantaneously with the moisture, and plants
in it suffer from drouth. Ail the soluble parts
of manures arc also quickly washed out of it,
ami hence it requires continual additious to
produce even a scanty growth.
A clayey soil is that in which clay predomi
nates. It may be considered the opposite of
sandy, inasmuch as its effects are, that it re
tains moisture too long, is too adhesive, in dry
weather it becomes as hard as a burnt brick,
impervious to dews or light showers, and when
thoroughly saturated it is tough, and requires
a long time to dry.
A gravelly soil is one made up in greater
part of small stones, pebbles, decomposed
rock, Ac.
A loamy soil is one we hear a great deal
about, and may lie understood in various ways.
It may be considered as a mixture of equal
parts of sandy, clayey, and vegetable soil. It
is neither so light as the sandy, on the one
liaud, nor so tenacious as the clay on the oth
er ; and as a general thing, contains such ele
ments, uud is of such a texture, as to render
it eligible for all ordinary purposes of cultiva
tion, and especially so for fruit trees. Loa
my soils ore spoken of as sandy loams, when
sand forms a large ingredient, say one half
their composition ; gravelly, when pretty
largely mixed with small stones ; calcareous,
when lime is found in them.
Calcareous or chalky soils have a large
amount of lime mixed with the other ingre
dients of which they are composed. All the
lands in limestone districts are of this charac
ter.
Peaty soil consists chiefly of vegetable mould
from decayed marsh plants, in low, wet places.
Alluvial soils are composed of decomposed
vegetable substance, the sediment of rivers,
and the materials washed down from neigh
boring hills ; the valleys of all our rivers and
streams are composed of this, and it is the
richest of soils.
GARDENlNG. —Gardening brings one under
the favorable influences of homo. This is a
positive advantage, and accrues both to him
who follows gardening for a livelihood and to
him who makes it the recreation of leisure.—
The working man pursues his daily toil with
in sight of his own gables ; his wife's cheerful
song is wafted out to him through the open
casement : his children some of them labor at
bis side, and others soothe him with their in
nocent prattle. lie who pursues gardening
from a love for it, is not apt to spend much
of his leisure in other and questionable amuse
ments. The early morning finds him among
his trees and plants, and when the day's busi
ness or study is ended, he hies to his garden
as the most delightful refuge from care. The
pursuit of office or wealth is laid aside for the,
study of nature ; the society of the street
nnd market place is exchanged for Iho society
of home. Ever}' man will have amusements
of some kind, and his character is often deter
mined, for good or evil, by the nature of his
amusements. Gardening affords a rational
recreation, and one which carries with it the
salutary influences of home.— Coanlnj (Jcnl.
ORCHARDS. —Under the universally prevail
ing custom, to the contrary, we suppose it is
almost useless to say that a profitable orchard
cannot be grown in our day, by devoting the
soil thereof to giain and grass crops. But
the time will come—must soon come—if we
are to continue to have a proper supply of
fruit, when the growth of al! young orchards
will be promoted by cultivating the soil with
such crops as require open cultivation, such as
corn, potatoes, buckwheat, and root crops.—
Grass is the great enemy to orchards, and this
appears to bo the favorite crop with our far
mers. It is beginning to be understood that
fruit trees require suitable cultivation, and
that fruit culture will pay independent of any
Other crops.— Mi ni. Ledger.
A OKK M.TLKAI. DISCOVERY. —A Paris letter
wii'.er states that a scientific gentleman dis
covered, two years ago, embedded with some
embalmed bodies, a species of wheat not then
in existence. In the time of the early Gallic
kings a certain quantity of wheat was placed
in the coffins of embalmed bodies. Some of
it was sown, and it yielded from sixteen to
twenty stalks to a grain, while there was on
an average twenty more grains in the head
than in the ordinary wheat. A considerable
quantity of this ancient wheat was sown on
the government farm last fall. Great reports
arc received of its productiveness. The ordi
nary wheat of France is believed to be only a
degeneration of this ancient grain, deteriorat
ed by centuries of reproduction. This disco
very takes France back fourteen centuries for
seed wheat, and it is expected will put her in
possession of one-eighth more agricultural
wealth than she possessed before the discove
ry.—Bo si on Journal.
I'm ofi" Bins.—This is the time to exam
ine newly planted fruit trees, or those of two
years out ; and by rubbing off many of the
buds now pushing forth, form the shape of the
tree for after years. Cherry trees should not
be permitted to fonn a whist of branches from
the body oftcner than once in two feet. Pinch
oft the end bnds of straggling branches, as well
as of those grown beyond their limit for per
fect forma lion of the tree.
If newly planted trees show blossom buds,
they should now be picked off. If permitted
to grow and form fruit, it will exhaust the
tree, and often cause its death the second
year.
Dwarf pear-trees can now be shaped better
even than by pruning in August or early
spring, and fill the growth of the tree can be
saved, or its food given to the production of
Examine carefully the probable direc

CATHARTIC TILLS !
\N KW and singularly successful remedy for the cure

Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers "<ont, Humors, j
Nervousness, irritability, Inflamations, Headache, Tains j
in the Breast. Side, Back,and Limbs, Female Complaints, I
Ac ..fir. Indeed very few are the diseases in which a
Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much
sickness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless
but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per
son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ;
besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases,
which might have been avoided by the timely and judi
cious use of a good ; urgntiv. This is alike true of Colds,
Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They i
all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for- j
miduhlc distempers which load the hearses all over the :
land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the tirst iin
portanceto the public health, and'this Pill has been per
fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
i xtcn.-ive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors,
and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything
hitherto known of auy medicine. Cures have been ef
fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated by per
sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
favor of these Pills, we may mention :
Doit. A. A. HAVES, Analytical Chemist of Boston,
and State Assaycr of Massachusetts, whose high Profes
sional character is endorsed by the—
IJon, EDWAIU) EVERETT, Senator of the United
States.
ROBERT C*. WIN'THROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister I'len. to England.
fJOHN B. FITZPATIUCK, Catholic Bishop of Boston;
also
Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York
Citv, endorsed by
Hon. W. L. MA ROY, Secretary of State.
WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America.
S. EELAND A Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi
ficates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but
evidence even more convincing than the experience of
eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and study,
are offered to the public as the best and most complete
which thts present slate of medical science ran afford.—
They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of
the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract
ed by t'hemieal process in a state of purity, and combin
ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
This system of composition for medicines has been found
in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef
ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the
<dd ni"dc of composition, every medicine is burdened with
more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by
this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu
rative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious
qualities of each substance employed are left behind, tl,e
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self
evident the effects should prove as tliey have proved,
more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an
tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the
world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi
cian, and as he could not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its composition, 1 have suppled the ac
curate Formula' by which loth my Pectoral and Pills are
made, to the whole ltody of Practitioners in tire United
States ano British American Provinces. If however there
should he any one who has not received them, they will
tie forwarded by mail to his request.
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, liow few
would be taken it their composition was known ! Their
life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open to all
men, and all who are competent to judge on the subject
freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic
merits. The Uherry Pectoral was pronounced hy scienti
fic men to lie a wonderful medicine before its effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and
are willing to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized hy their effects upon trial.
They operate hy their powerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow
els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of
disease.
