a follows.:
1. That a mineral superphosphate
of lime has gireo considerable increase
in each crop of a rotation, . although
used without any other manare, for a
period of thirty years.
2. That in consequence of grain
containing large quantities of nitro
gen and phosphoric acid, and small
quantities of potash, manures con
taining soluble phosphoric acid and
soluble nitrogen, as ammonia or
nit
ric acid, are especially applicable to
these crops.

of weeds, and in a high state of fer
tility. If peas or early potatoes were
grown oa it, and highly manured in
the spring, it would be in good con
dition for tbe plants in August, tbe
best time to set them, unless set in
tbe spring. Immediately before tbe
plants are set, give tbe land a dress
ing of well rotted dung, even if it
were manured for a previous crop,
and plow it ia ; or first plow the land
as deep as Beccessary, then spread
on tbe manure, and cover it lightly
with a one-horse plow. A great deal
of manure is wasted by being cover
ed too deep, two inches deep being
tbe depth that many experiments by
tbe best agriculturalists of this and
other countries have decided to be
tbe best for crops generally. If we
barrow in tbe manure much of it is
left upon the surface of tbe ground,
and its virtues evaporate. So it is in
some degree wben it is covered very
lightly with earth, if tbe weather be
dry after harrowing it in ; and it U
question for tarmers to decide, wheth
er it is not better to take a little more
time in some cases, and use a one
Lores plow to cover manure. , Good
crops, of coarse, are grown by cover
ing manare at the first plowing : but
for an acre or two of strawberries, or
other small fruits I thiok tt would
pay to use a one-horse plow in cover

too deep. ' f
Tbe rows ia tbe Geld culture of

PaolL Owing to the butchery of
bis lather aad a brother by tne In
dians, be bad in boyhood registered
a vow of vengeance, which, perhaps,
mav La part account for bia intrepid
ity" - '
Tbe recital of one of bis eiplots
wul give an idea both of tbe men
and border warfare as waged against
tbe early inhabitants of regions now
peaceful and prosperous.
Brady had beet placed ia com
mand of a small party of scouts
detailed to watch the morements of
tbe Indians and gave warning of tbe
approach of hostile bands toward tbe
settlements. Tbe territory to be cov
ered by bi6 operations was - denomi
nated tte "French Creek Country,
a wild but beautiful belt of forest
"oil regions," and extending north
and south across tbe counties of Ve
nango and Crawford, Pennsylvania.
One afternoon the scouts struck a
fresh Indian trail in tbe valley of a
stream called Slippery Rock Creek.
Calculating from tbe character of
the trail that the enemy were not nu
merons enough to make it necessary
to apprise tbe garrisons and settle
ments, Brady decided to follow tbe
savage9 and attack tbera at daybreak
the next morning. Swiftly but wari
ly the scouts threaded the wilderness,
until, when darkness stopped tbeir
pursuit, they were within a very
short distance of their unsuspecting
foe. ''Munching a sapper of venison
and com, and drinking from tbeir
hands tbe waters of a brook, they
stationed tbeir guards, and then lay
down among tne dry leaves to wait
for the dawn.
But while tbey bad been tracking
and preparing to assail tbe Indians
in tbeir front, another and larger par
ty of Indians in tbeir rear were trail
ing them, with minds bent
on blood a worse trap being bated
for themselves than tbey bad set for
tbe enemy.
. Daybreak came, and as soon as it
was light enough to look through the
sights of a rifle the scouts were un
der motion.. Creeping among the
dense foliage, a few minutes brought
them withia range of their victims,
who were sitting ia a .circle eating

wben Brady gave tbe signal to fire,
wLicb was tbe imitation of the hoot
of an owl, and tbe . crack of tbeir
guns rang out through tbe woods. -
. Hardly ; bad the smoke cleared
away, a-heu the other party of red
skins opened fire upon tie whites.
Two of Brady's men fell at his Bide,
and perceiving from tbe number of
guns discharged that tbe enemy was
too strong to be successfully resisted
the wary captain instantly adopted
the motto, "Discretion is the better
part of valor,,' and gave bis party
the word to save tbemsel res by

who bad mardered his father ; any
fate was preferable to that Away

crew at bis beeis Bather woald be

But as be ran, a desperate resolu

leap across the Btream, and with a
lifted prayer, tbe conviction rushed
upon his mind tbat be could dart.

and behind, certain of their game,

tbe air, almost as if, some great bird,
be had taken wings, and incredible
as it may seem to those who have
seen the gorge, landed in safety tn
tbe opposite bank.
Hut what was tbe amazement oi
tne Indians!
Tbey were under such beada-ay.
and tbe foremost one so near, tbat
they could barely bold back from
plunging down tbe precipice.
And now it became tbeir turn to
flee, for while their guns were a quar
ter of a mile away, Brady was rap
idly loading for a shot With the
wildest exclamations of surprise and
alarm they whirled away at tbeir
utmost speed, one of them saying in
broken English :
"Blady make good jump."
Brady never forgot tbe - ludicrous
scene they presented a dozen In
dians fleeing from one white man.
And such xigxsg running in order to
dodge bis ballet;' now jumping to
tbe right, and now to the left : now
on all fours, and now leaping into tbe
air. But it was in vain : tbe fellow
that said. "Blady make good jump,"
was answered from tho iron lips of
the rifle with a leaden missile torougb
bis heart.
- Captain Brady afterwards visited
the spot with some of his friends aad
measursd the width of tbe chasm a
thing which the writer has done in
modern years finding it over twenty
feet from brink to briok, and necessi
tating a leap of at least twenty-two
feet in order to make his footing se

of Guidry, accompanied by a young
priest, Father Cbarles. Guidry dur
ing bis prison life gave himself op ap
parently to religous instructions.
He was sent to New Orleans parish
prison for safe keeping because a res
cue was feared. He arrived bere on
the loth. Since be bas been here he
bas borne himself bravely. He was
very firm, cool and determined, but
constantly declared be ought not to
die for tbe killing of Beale, because
Beale bad seduced bis wife and ruin-
ed bis home and bis children s future.
Guidry behaved oa the gallows in
desperate aud daring manLer. He
addressed tbe crowd and said be
killed John Beale, and be would do
it again to-day ; and tbat he ought
not to die for it; and tbat be would
die like a man; that be did not care
to die. Father Cbarles 'said a fe
words of prayer. He nodded bis
head as if assenting, turned to bis
friend on the scaffod and said: "I am
firm: I am not afraid to die." He
said what C. C. Duson testified to in
Court was not so. He continued
talking loud to the crowd, declaring
bis indifference to death and that be
would commit tbe same crime again
and again, tbat be wasjustified. Be

He said, "not so tight, but put the

As the Sheriff took up tbe axe to cat
tbe rope be cried out, jeenngly, "I
can see; you are going to cat tbe

Guidry died almost instantly. Tbe

some blow wben to tbe store Satur
day night, aad she waats to know f f
yoa would lend her your bottle for
tea BsiauteB. ' f :
Now it happened that I wanted to
use the bine bottle myself just at tbat
time, bat I poured some of iu con
tents into a smaller bottle for tbe
child, and ahe went on her . way re-
joictog.
Scarcely fifteen minutes Bad elans -
ed wben Willie J ones made his ap
pearance at the door, inquiring :
"Is Mr. Smith at home f I can't
find bim at tbe barn."
"No, be isn't at home. ; Ue wt m
to tbe city this morning."
"Pap wants to know if, you will
lend os your wheelbarrow a little
while ; oars is wjre out"
I replied la the sffirmeti ve, and he
went to tbe wood bouse where be
knew it was kept Presently be re
turned with a long face, saying :
"Tbe axle's broke, so yoa can't
baul aotbin' on it" -
"I'm sorry it's broke I quietly re
plied, "bat I believe no one has used
it since yoa brought it back last Fri
day." He looked rather sheepish at this,
but started for home without showing
any desire to prolong the conversa
tion. By and by I discovered tbat there
was a screw loose in tbe wringer,
which prevented iu working proper
ly, and I sent Freddy for the screw
driver. He soon returned with tbe
information that it was no', in tbe
tool cbest - I was surprised at tbjs,
but presently I remembered that
neighbor Jones bad borrowed it on
Saturday to mead a broken door luck.
I sent Freddy after tbe missing arti
cle, and it was nearly half an hour
before I could continue my wringing
with any satisfaction.
By eleven o'clock we bad our
clothes oot and were preparing for
dinner, wben Mary Jones came in
again ia great baste, exclaiming, "Ob,
Mrs. Smith, could yoa lend us a loaf
of bread for dinner 7 Mother was
out of floor, and couldn't make but
two loaves of bread on Saturday, but
Pap is going to tbe mill this after
coon, and mother will send it back
to-morrow."
I knew from past experience that
tbe loaf tbat would come back on tbe
morrow would be either Sour or
heavy, and would be given to tbe
dog, unless some tramp came along.
But I immediately granted tbe re
quest Mr. Jones did go to tbe mill
in tbe afternoon, and in tbe evening
Willie came after a cop of yeast, be
cause theirs was sour, and jaat
about gonanybow."
Ia tbe meantime John came , back
from the city aad waated to use tbe
wheelbarrow, bat he bad to take it to
tbe shoo to be mended instead. Then
be concluded to pat ia the time split
ting wood, bat the axe was at neigh
bor Jonefc', and by tbe time Charley
had gone for it aad brought it borne
supper was ready. , While we were
eating sapper, John said :
"Mary, 1 shall follow tbe example
of a farmer I read of recently, and
bay a set of tools on purpose to lead.
It would be cheaper than losing so
much time bunting up one's ' proper
ty." .
D, John," I replied, emphatical
ly, "and bay me another bottle of
blue and yeast pot, and three or more
flat irons."
"Tbea we both laughed, but we
were half ia earnest after alL"
Dear reader, if yoa have a neigh
bor who resembles the Joneses, tbe
next time she comes borrowing just
lend her a copy of this and ask ber
to read this article. Perhaps she
will take the hint
Last Saturday evening . when a
young mail of two and twenty stood
before a window who owns a boose
on Congress street, east, she knew
by bis embarrassed manner just what
was coming and she aaid:
, "William 1 snppose yoa

- Is there any joy treater teas tbat

are some men so low down that it it
