“ snow is the poor man's manure," hits, per

toll u-x tlnt analysis reveals a larger per cen
tn-re of ammonia in snow than in rain.—
Unn says that water ncquirm nitrous salts in

is true. thnt snow is a powerful. absorbent.

Melt in n clean res-e 1 A mass of snow
which has lain a short time on the ground,
and the tnste will detect. foreign substances
in the water. This will he inc-st manifest
in the neighborhood of large towns. The
hardiness and dryness produced in the
month by drinking snow-water. and the
unpleasant effects on the skin by washing
in it. are n-cribed to the impurities it com
thins. The din-use called gum. earning
monstrous swelling of the neck. which pre—
vails in Alphine regions. is also attributed
luv some to the use of snow water. The
sh-orbont power of snow has been illustro
ted thus: “Tithe. lump of snow (crust
unaware well.) of three or four inches in
length. and hold it in the flnme of. hump :
not a drop of water will fall from the snow,
but the water on fast ss formed will be drawn
up into the snow by eepillsry Attraction.-
It is by virtue of this power thst it purifies
the stmosphere by dumbing end reteiniug
its noxious end noisome gases end odors.’
Furthermore. it prevents exhnlntiom

become lnodorom in Winter. utd the un

inspiring, is taken up by the soil. Now. if
no more than this can he unde out for “ the
poor man's manure." it is yet better then
some of the patent fertilisers of our day.
Snow help- the spring end mill-streams
in Winter. Were the ground neked from
Fall to Spring, and frozen meanwhile seve
ral feet (lee 1, the s irings would 've out.
and water-wheels oi all sorts woulfhsve to
stand still. As it is, however. the snow
prevents the frost from penetrating to n
great depth—especially in the wooden hills.
which are the fountain-heads ot'sprinp and
streams—and by gradual melting keeps up
a supply of wntor for Imm and bout.
Snow is an excellent protector of tender
vegetstion. Even in northern latitudes,
there i< a multitude of half-tender indige
nous plants which require more or 13;» cov

been loynl, but she would have her

0n the following day soother soundly
petriotio speech wee made—es follows:
Mr. Simms, of Rh" nddreuod-the Hana.
He said thlt ha Ml listened to tho do
boteo of the Republican tide of the Home,
Ind had found them Almost to I nun op
pond to compromise. He understood the
whole matter to be thus: ShLll the Chicago
)lntfnrm stand or the constitution of tie
i'nitod States P—which should godown. the
('hicagn platform or the govemment? Why
do not the Republican-t vote for the Critton
don roxmitions.’ That would establish
the Chicago platform north of the line of
36 30. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, had said that
he did not recognize pro rty in man.—
’l‘herefore he did not, in his opinion, re~
cogniw the constitution of the L . States.
Mr. Stanton mid he did recognize the
right of property in man, but it was a local
institution.
Mr. Simmq said it Will very plain that the
Rnpublican Party had determined to outlnw
the slaveho ding States of the Union. and
by no means allow an more slave States to
come inm the confedvemcy: and not. only
this, but they would (loamy the power of
the «lava States, and circle them with free
Staten. until they would come and lick the
verv dust of their hot.
He would tell them this: Kentucky hell

did not. believe there was ndisunionist pcru
in his State, but the w” determined to
have equality. He referred to the Mittouri
compromise. end laid that After the Mexi

But again, on the subject of negro equnl

page 23 of the volume referred to, Mr. Lin

do not understand the force of language.—-
It is true the' declintipn of his sentiment
is mule in the form of interrogamriéa, but
under A well-known principle of rhetoric,
such form of expression amounts to the very
highest. and strongest uflirumtion.
In the same volume. page 24, and in con
clusion of the speech from which the fore
going quot-tion is taken. Mr. Lincoln said:
“I thank you for this most extensive In

This last quotation is an amendment up
on the Declaration of Independence. That
instrument declnree all men to be mooted

the lamp of liberty will burn in the bosom:
of the Block Republicans, “until there shell

would link from gflrst clue power into two

figure men; the nations of the earth, that
the foreign ministers of these two petty.

end would have no more standing than the

talk about the evils of disunion, unless some
effort is made to arrest them. Every word
they utter on this subject is a. rebuke to
themselves, for their obstinate. sullen and
criminal inactivity. The Union cannot save
itaeli', the Democrats of the North cannot
ave it, and it must inevitably be destroyed,
unless the Republicans stretch forth their
heads to save it. They cannot in their
