When it pler.sed the master ha soM the husband here, and the wife there, and now at th period of twenty years from the date of the day when the master regarded the 6anctity of the marriage relation with only the 6tune interest that a stock-slower regards the association of cattle, they want to hold up their hands in astonishment at the fre quency of divorces among the col ored people of the South. It is of importince that the colored people of that portion of the country have come to recognize, at this early stage of their emancipation, that a divorce is necessary to human society when the marriage relation is to be broken oiZ, for once they recognize the di vorce, they are on the road to a proper recognition of the marriage relation. The old masters recognized neither marriage or divorce laws among their slaves. An ex'-hange, speaking of the frequency of divorces in the South, savs : Divorces are reported ns very comiii n among the colored people of Georgia. They have taken the law into their own hands and do nit trou ble the Courts. Here is a copy of a document which was offered for rec ord in the Clerk's office : "August 10, 1871).

I Address of Colonel A. K. MeClare at Eiversido Park Fair. Colonel A. K. McClure, editor of the Philadelphia Timet, was invited by the management of the Riverside Park Fair to deliver an address on Thursday, Septemler 2, 1879. Amos G. Consall, Esq., a director of the Park Association, was appointed as escort for the Colonel Thry came upon the ground at one o'clock p. m., but the Colonel had so many old friends to talk to, that it was fully a half hour later before he began to speak. Mr. Bonsall, en behalf of the Tark and Fair Association, introduced the speaker. ile decUrrd that he had not come pre pared to deliver nil agricultural address, or to talk about larniitig as one who had en gaged in the buiiueas of cultivating the soil Farming has not been his business, and yet it is the custom every autumn to obtain men not engaged directly in agriculture to ad dress Fairs and agricultural societies. Cer tainly it gave him the highest pleasure to meet and p- ak to a people among whom he lived tniriy years ag. Many, indeed most of those who were his warm friends almost a generation aj, have passed away ; but as be looked into the faces of those before hi. ii, the lineaments of the faces of his old departed friends beamed clear 'y in the coun tenances of many of those who listeued to his remarks. IK'COuld not speak of the nobility of farm ing. .ll labor is noble, but farming is no nobl.rr than other labor, and it came aa a I' vine command long, long ago, as other labor came, when the edict or decree went forth trom Heaven to Eden, that "In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread till thou return to the jr.-ran i." It may be true that the farm er's labor yields lcs than the labor em ployed, in many other pursuits, but it is tree trom the mental anxieties ot many other avoca.ions. The past is bevond reclaim do re been grets can redeem it but I would have glad if my lot bad not been extended to Mich care as those that silver the heads of men, and make them prematurely gray. It is intelligent labor among the farmers that is iieedtl. They labor well, as they labored generations ago. it is not neces sary to lie .scientific. Farming is the most interesting ot pursuits or labors, w hen pur sued iutelligently. It reaches deep into the realms of nature and finds out the beau tiful. Hut the realm of the farmer not only extends to Lis broad acres, and the great i Mttirellimsp laf llkR t tiwRT)iera nluivo anil ! around him, but he is :u truth the great I safeguard of our governmeut. But for him "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, would perish from the earth." The shifting men are not the fann ers. The large floating crowds that surge about from place to place without a home are not farmers. Tbe farmer is the man of home, and a ptoj 'e who have fixed homes are the sup port of the State, always iu its greatest need. The n.en who are fastened to the soil are eer true to the higher allegiance, and may be alavs relied on. Tln-v look out nndi.s- turbedly upon the unsteady, shilling changes ' f-l that be dues nut imil il. It is not so with the mechanic. Tiie progress of the mechanics art in the past two generations is .i,,,,, a marvel, aud has nearly rtvolu- tioi.ized the whole system of labor. The farmer should be progressive. It may not be within the reach of all to under stand the exact scientitic or chemical prop erties ot every kind of soil, but he should understand w hat the crops most require ; what the different kinds of manure will pro duce. It is within the reach of every farm er who will spend an hour in reading every evenit g to acquire a knowledge of how to treat his land more intelligently aud w ith more satistictory crop results. The correct way of plowing is important ; the depth of plow ing is important, and how many understand that deep plowing is bet ter than shallow plowiug for both a dry a,.d a wet season. There is a reason why it iso. Nature his reason in all ber operations. The intelligent farmer w ill t y and reach the reason. There are deep scientitic researches lhat need not be reached, no more than that the abstruse branches of mathematics, or that Latin and Greek and Hebrew need be added to the store of learning of the farmer, but there are many things that farm ers should know. To know them would prepare their minds for a more intelligent and satisfactory cultivation of the soil of their farms and help them to reach larger crop results. Find out why deep plowing is a benefit. It is no more difficult to know, than it is to know why it is tlit sometimes oa a summer day the pitcher with water in it, as it sits on your dinner table, will be dotted over with great clear drops of water. The cool water in the pitcher Las had an effect on t'ae w.tery atmosphere around it and condensed the w ater iuto drops. The.-? is a reason for all things. Intelligent ob servation may find out the reason for many of the things that seem obscure. The air is the greatest fertilizer. The deeper the soil can be loosened np the further the air will reach down aud fer tilize, moisten and cool it. That is why corn tbat is constantly cultivated in sea sons of drought constantly grows; that is why wheat that is harrowed between the rows grows; it is because the soil is loosened up and the air permeates all the crevices thus bruiien, with the fer tilizer duect from nature's great exbaust less storehouse. Deep plowing is good iu time of Hood or protracted rains, for it leaves sufficient soil loose and soft for the water to pass below the roots tbat must without fail be drowned in land p!owed shallow in certain kinds of p round. Many believe that when deep plowing is rksorted to, that it is the fresh new soli that is brought up that resu'ta in benefit to the crops, but there is nothing in tbo fresh soil. The man who digs a ..ell tiuds not the principle of life in the soil that is brought from iu depth until after the atmosphere aud the sunlight have acted upon it. It is not chance work. Infinite wisdom left nothing for chance. There is law for all things. The clay brought from the deep sub soil is fertilized by tlie air. W ithout this touch from nature it would ever refuse to yield rich herbage, or guld-.-n grain. There is nothing destructible in beast, in flower, or weed, in wood or in atone ; every thing returns to perform its othce in tbe giand economy of cat are. Our own bodies, when consigned to their resting place, are again reproduced, in the sea, in cloud; they come in the purling, bubbling brook ; they come in the dew of heaven, iu tld rain, iu the beautiful chastening tear drn, or in the bitter tear of sorrow that may ps over the rosy cheek of youth, or adorn tie furrowed face of an aged father or inothei; the forms are different but the propertiis are the same. The practical oira'ions so on constantly in the great laboratory of ni ture, whether we have the intelligence tc understand them or not, and many, very many of the great operation are so bidder from us that even the deepest researcher known to mm result only in an unsatisfac tory understanding of them. But let me call your attention to practi. cal farming. Let us go to the barnyan?, where it has been known that men haw puHid rtowa straw stacks, and scattered lime over the stmr, nndcr the mistaken b lief that it w ill rot the straw and prepare it aa a feitiliier for the soil. Perhaps the beit way to keep up the soil is to rotate tie crops, and return as much grass to the soil as iHissible, for nothing is eipial to grass fir plant food. Certainly lime on straw in the barnyard has the opposite effect of that hich is desired. Lime is a great preserver it is not a decouiKser. It is used on fences, on houses and barns not more for a Snjaali- rier ihau for a ureserver of the wood. A man with a better knowledge of the opera tion of ingredients tears dowu his straw stack and sows plaster An it. Piaster rots the straw ; it not ouly rots the straw, but it prevents the ammonia the ingrediei.t in manilte that sometimes nearly blinds men iu the stable and smarts their nose from es caping. J" o strong odor escapea from uia nme piles where plaster is used. It re duces the bulk of the manure to be hauled but concentrates and holds it strength. It holds the fertilizing ammonia that shouM be, and must in some way be returned to tbe soil for plant food. Plaster jn-oduci-s moisture in or on clover, ai d in that way is of uutold value. It has in itself not a sin gle fertilizing prr.p-Tl;", but its c!o mical aclion is such that if used iu barnyards and on c'-n-r and other plants it is of incalcu lable bench t. I would like to point to other plain illus tiatlon, but time hastens me on. I hare told you that you are no better than other laborers. I have told you that the homes are the safety of the country, the homes of the land are tbe homes of the agriculturists ; their homes stay ; beautify them. Make home attractive. It should uet be a place only iu w hich to raise chil dren at so much per head not a place alone to eat and drink in. Beautify it, so that tbe afiectiou and ambition of the sons will ever have it for a central place in th ir miu J and heait. Make home the ceut.a uuject, i and the sons w ill not crowd the ci!i"S and Centers of population, there in the majority of cases to meet witii lii'er !isappoinlment that renders their lite tmacrVoIe, and strands tbem aa human w rucks upon the shoals of society. Home should not be a place of extravagance. A child can plant a shrub, a flower, a tree. Impress the importance of home upon the miuds of the young ; it is the anchor et toe (lovereiliieut. A peo- ! pie who become restive aiiJ lose their tore lor home, must become ni.uia lio and tribal, ready to desjs.il, and rady for the despoil er; ready for war ; ready for destruction.

A Mississippi man while dTgging a we:l on bis place io Prentiss couuty, exhumed tbe skelton of a man at tbe depth of forty. tbree feet below thesnr face of the earth He also obtained several gold coins of tbe fifteenth cen tury, heariug tbe inscription and coat of arms of Ferdinand sod Isabella. Now how did he get put awiy So deep. Mrs. Cox, wife of a eebool teacber living near Sbarpsburg Md., was the victim of a terrible outraga a few days ago, tbe particulars of wbich only came to light yesterday. Her busbaud left the-house early in tbe morniug leaving ber aleeping with a young child in ber arms. A few minutes later Samuel Stride, a young man, cousin of tbe lady entered ber room, and, tearing tbe cbild from tbe arms of tbe terrified and screaming woman, committed a brutal outrage upon ber. Ile then fled and bas not yet been arrested. Mrs. Cox is in a critical condition. An exchange says; We Jearn from our Peusacola exchanges that two gen tlemen were out duck banting Dear Pensacoia, a few days ago, ia a skiff, ben 'hey were attacked by an alliga tor which suddenly tore to tbe surlace of the water and attempted to crawl in to ibe skiff in which tbe men were leis urely paddling along. One of the meu during the excitement, fell overboard, but managed to get back inside the b.wit iu lithe to save himself from the jiws of the monster. A slue was has tily rammed into the gun barrel and then fired into tbe bead of tbe vicious animal, which so crippled him that be was afterwards easily uauaged. He was then taken to shore and killed, and lound to measure eleven fret in length, five feet round and weighed two hundred and fifteen pounds, t he paper states that this is the largest kill ed in that neighborhood since tbe war, and the circumstance is otherwise re markable as being tbe first instance in our knowledge where an alligator bas been kuown to attack a boat crew in this manner.
