The importance of draining is notTiliily

and' to the maturity-of the product. . All
these useful purposes are•ilefeated, Where

serve as.the food of the crop,•remains Un

to determine whether land is sufficiently .
dry to support a healthy -vegetation; but
we are to examine the stratum, into
which the roots of the plant penetrate, and
from which they. draw their food. If this .

which readily_ become the food of plants,
when the'water is drawn-off. 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

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. 'Char only serVant, Mi
nerva.---the goddess of visdoth should have
known better--used ;to scrub °tlie house
weekly from garret to cellar; their only
carpet was shook 'every Saturday, the steps
were scoured daily,- and I never in my life
saw thb old woman- without a -lusting cloth
in her hand. - SuCh a
.war of extermination
did she 'carry on against-the intruding par- .
ticles, that mi . friend E. used, to say, it
must be hard for-her to think. of turning to
dust: '
- .
"Lucy had no visitors, no companions;
and the only indulgence of .the nhl„people,
which was sitting en the stoop . every af
ternoon, iccortling tp the . ancient Dutch
custom, she never partook. She never
went 'out, excepting on Sunday to church,
and then she reminded me of one of those
bright, pretty floWers that hang on the
crabbed, bate stein of the each's. L pitied
her, her spring of life seemed passing away
sn drearily. • My pity was misplaced, and
I felt it to be so, when I looked into her
serene end': sweet countenance, and saw
there the impress, of that happiness which
certainly 'flows. from dtities . Teligiously per-'
formed. .
.
is a great inatter,Grace, to have your
desires. bounded within your station; to be
satisfied with:the. (phi, unnoticed perfor
mance, of the •duties Providencehas allotted
to you; and not to. waste your strength in
Seelting to do good, or obtain pleasure's be
yond your spher6: This is, true wisdoitt,
and this .was Lucy Wendars. At laSt there

Tound that:she was left 'almost 'Penniless,
M
but that a diebreet and kind female friend
had procured a place for her in Ross's
:glove factory. Lucy was, skilled in all the
art and craft of the needle.. Ross, it seems,
is a very thriving tradesman, and on the
..siatuaecommendation of Lucy!s frietids,
he had proMisaffainedireritrlice-ffenily,4
and al!ow.lier sufficient compensation for /

Ross made no reply, but fumbled over
some gloves that were lying on the
ter, and tied up the bundle, and laid it on
the shelf. "You seem, Mr. Ross, not dis
posed to answer my inquiries. lam afraid
some misforti t e has happened to the poor
girl," .
"Would you like to know, ma'am, what
has happened to her?" lie leaned his el
bbw ,on his desk,. and seemed about, begin:-
fling a story.
':Certainly I would."
"Well, you , know when Lucy Wendal
came to me she was e,
_tittle demure thing
—not a beauty, but so comely and tidy,
that she was a pretty resting place for the
eye of old or young. She was as great. a
contrast do - the other girls in the work-shop
as white to black.: She just sat quiet- in
one corner; and minded her work, and took
ito part in their gabbling. 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.
L never bad a Match for her since I first
began businessq, but (you know,‘.ma'ain,
there is alivaysa btit in this life,) she gave
me great offeoe.' She mossed we where
I could not bearto be crossed."
`Mat intentionally, 1 am sure, Mr..Ross.'
"• "You shall boar, ma'am. I haVe - an only
son, Joina .RetAHa fine, fresh-looking,
good-natured, industrious lad. I set my
heart on his marrying' his, cousin, Amy
