Let me ima gine a case, which I •am Sure will be found to exist in many parts Of your country.— 'There is a slope of a little hill, half a mile in extent . ..terminating in a flat forty reds 'wide, through which a brook meanders.— . The soil on this slope and in this' flat is of a light, porous quality,.six. to-twelve in-' cites. deep, reposing„ on a sub-soil imper-' .vious to . water, clak, rock, or hardpan. 'By soil, I mean the upper:stratum, in which vegetable matters arc blended•with earthy materials, and which constitutes the 'true pasture of plants. Near the top of-this • slope, all along in a- horizontal- level, or perhaps lower down, spouts or. springs burst through the sub-50i1,.",' thing very common in hilly districts, the waters from which, finding an easy rassago-through the loose- soil, spread and' run down - the slope, and• upon the sub-soil, and through the flat, till they find their level in the .brook. .A thermometer plunged down to 'the. sub-soil, Will indicate, at midsummer, a - teurirerature - prubabtrbot greater tban.do degrees, whereas to grow And mature many of our best farm crops, we require a heat in . the soil of seventy er eighty degrees. Ilow-shall we remedy this.evil, andrender thisland profitable to the occupant? Simply by making an underdrain or drains, hi a gently. inclining direction; a little below those spouts or springs, and; if practicable. somewhat under the sub-soil. Those will catch and conduct off the spouting waters, and by laying the lover plane 'dry and per meable to heat and air, develope all its na tural powere of fertility. •- I will Suppose another ease = thai of a. flat surface, .underlaid by an impervious sub-soil. - This is rendered unproductißd or difficult to manage, by stagnant waters. The rain and snow waters, penetrating the soil, are' arrested in. their downward pas sage, by the sub-soil, which not having slope to pass them off, they remaiii and stagnate, and putrify,.nlike prejudicial to vegetable and twit - nal. health.. The mode of draining such grounds and' rendering them easy of management, is first, to Sur round the field with a good underdrain, and to construct a sufficient open rain to envy off the waters. Then with tile plough, throw the land into 'ridges of twenty 'to 'thirty feet in breadth, according to the te nacity of .the soil, in the direction of the slope, and sink •an underdrain in. each of the furrows between the, ridges. terminef hig them in "the lower: cross' drain.

LUCY WE ENDA L, A TALE OF REAL LIFE. • BY MISS .SEDGWICK. •"I am going round by Broad street to inquire of Ross,. the glover, about little Lucy Wendal." Wendal I Who is she ?" "She is a pretty little Dutch girl, who lived'opposite to mein.Ahat kit of a dwel ling-that looks like a -crack or a seam be tween the two houses on each side of ,it. She lived with her grand-parents, natives of this city, and once proprietors of many a lot within Ina they had been outbar gained . and outwitted tillthey.were reduced to this little tenement; some twenty feet by fifteen. Their only surviving •descendant was my little friend Lucy, a pretty fair skinned, fair-haired, blue-eyed girl, of a modest, quiet, engaging demeanor'. For many months after We mo v ed to street, I knew nothing.of the family ; but,, from such observations as My eye copfd take, neatness was ,the ruling passion of the household.

You must know what a parcel of girls is, ma'am, dinging from morning to night like . forty thousand chimney swallows. Lucy was very dif ferent: She made herself neat and trig in tip morning, and,did not lose half an hour at noon, when the 'prentiee boys were coming to ditinio., twitching out curl pa pers and furbelowing her hair. The boys and girls used tq have their jokes about her, and call'her th,Olittle parson: but she only preached in her actions, and this is what I call practical preaching, ma'am.- She was 'a little master AT orkman with her needle.
