SPRING.

The cold white snow has faded fast,
And stilled now is the wintry blast;
Where erst it lay, that cold, dull snow,
The pale pink primrose now doth blow,
The first of her frail sisterhood.

The rivulet's icy chains are burst;
It flows in joy and peace at first,
Then bubbling, sports in merry glee
And singing aloud at being free,
And whispering to the sprouting grass,
Come, weave a carpet where I pass.

The violets, tinted like the sky,
Seem freshly fallen from on high,
And bloom in every shady nook,
Fair spring through those blue eyes doth look
Upon the gladsome, happy earth,
To which she bringeth joy and mirth.

'Midst purple clover graze the herds;
'Mid fresh, green branches sing the birds,
And now the heart, too, groweth gay,
Throws off old sorrows day by day,
And praises God with gladness rife
For spring and flowers and earth are life!

The Object of Ploughing.

The Lawrence Journal says:-- The object of ploughing is not understood and considered by a majority of those who perform the work; if it were, it would be done more faithfully and thoroughly. It is not alone to kill the weeds and grass, or even to furnish a seed bed of fresh turned soil for planting or sowing - nor anything which looks merely to the conversion of the soil - which constitutes good ploughing Large ploughs, turning a wide and shallow furrow, will show a large day's work - but the work is imperfectly accomplished, when the true object of ploughing is the preparation it gives the soil for vegetation - for giving to the plants sown or planted, the elements of growth and fruitfulness. It should thoroughly pulverize and loosen the soil, and thus admit a free circulation of air and moisture, which, by chemical action, disintegrates or breaks down the stony or mineral portions of the soil, so that they may be readily taken up by the roots.

In a soil thus ploughed - thus prepared for yielding its support to vegetable life - plants can appropriate from far and near the nutriment needed for their growth.- It is dissolved and ready for their use - not hidden in unbroken clods or slumbering in an undisturbed subsoil - but awaits their action in a friable and penetrable state, where every rootlet, sent out to gather nourishment for its parent plant, may find and appropriate it. It is truly wonderful how full of minute roots the soil of a cornfield becomes, and if that soil is fine and deep, the deeper and closer together will the fibres permeate and intersect it.- This is true of all other crops, and while the leaves and fruit depend so intimately on the vigor and extent of the roots, these facts should always be taken into consideration among the objects of ploughing.

Fineness and depth of soil are requisite in order to receive the full benefits of the manures applied. It is not fertilizing food in the crude state which assists vegetation - it must first become intimately mixed with, or, in fact, a part of the soil itself. Barn-yard manure, especially, seems of little worth while forming visible layers between the clods of a half ploughed soil - it is often dry and coarse - and rather shunned than sought by the roots sent out to forage for suitable food. If a well prepared soil has any strength and virtue, it will yield it readily; and poor land in good tilth is often more productive than better soils less perfectly prepared. The influences of air and moisture have freedom to work, and they are no laggards in gathering means to supply the wants of vegetation.

About Seed Corn.

The American Agriculturist says:- The selection of seed corn is one of the most important things which a farmer does at this season. Coarse cobs accompany late maturity, as a rule; fine cobs, well tipped out, indicate perfect maturity, adaptation to the season and soil, and a fixedness of character which it is important to maintain. The curing of corn takes place to a great extent after the husking, and the presence of a great, soft, moist cob in each ear gives a tendency to mold, which should be sedulously avoided. One may easily judge by the eye which ears have the smallest cobs - those which are best tipped out, which have the kernels in the closest rows, and all the rows running unbroken from end to end. These ears will not be found among the biggest round, nor among the longest, usually, but among those of medium size. A friend used to say, as he showed off his seed corn, "every ear as regular and solid as a white oak pin." And so they were, as nearly as corn ears could be, firm, close, hard and solid.

Moistened vs. Dry Food.

Besides the benefit secured by causing the ground grain to adhere to cut hay or straw when wet, it has been ascertained by Boussingault in some well conducted experiments, that soaked fodder forms a more suitable food than that which is dry. He found that heifers fed with soaked hay gained in weight over those fed at the same time dry hay. By reversing the order of feeding, the results were the same. The experiments referred to appear to have been simply to test the advantages of moistened food over that which is dry. The moistening of hay will render it the more readily digestible, and the advantages gained would warrant the labor expended.

THINNING OUT FRUIT. - All fruit trees that can be readily managed on account of size or overbear, should have the fruit thinned out. A tree that overbears seldom produces any good fruit, and is sure to be barren, or nearly so, the ensuing year; whereas, where only a moderate crop is allowed to grow, the specimens are double the size, superior in quality, and the tree is likely to afford an annual yield.

Death-Bed of Bishop Soule.

At the funeral services of Bishop Joshua Soule, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which were observed at Nashville, on the 7th, a very impressive address was delivered by Bishop McTyrie, in which he gave an elaborate and eloquent sketch of the life of the eminent divine; closing with an account of his last moments. He said:

I was present at the hour he died, and saw the close of this grand Christian life. His work was done, and he waited with patience and peace. His death, in all its parts, was simple, grand, majestic. Death is a cloud, a shadow, a darkness; he saw it enter with a perfect composure. He said little in his last hours. On Saturday his situation became critical, but there was no trepidation, no uneasiness to be detected in his conversation; he was ready.

"When asked if he suffered much pain, he replied, "None at all." I said him, "Bishop, is all clear before you?" "Yes," was his answer. "Do you understand me?" "I do, sir, I do." It was past midnight when he appeared to be passing away. I questioned him. "Bishop, is it all right with you?" With that peculiar emphasis characteristic of him, he replied, "All right, sir, all right." He was resting - leaning on Christ. He expired in perfect quietness; fell asleep without a groan or convulsion, and I could feel no grief or sorrow as I closed his eyes.

"Well, mother, the foundations of the great deep are broken up at last."
"What do you mean, Tommy!"
"My trousers have got a hole in them - that's all."

Agassiz tells about a sort of fish in Brazil which can climb trees. They are probably peculiar to the tropical climb.

AND GOVERN YOURSELVES ACCORDINGLY.
Goods at Reduced Prices at CRYSTAL PALACE.

HAVING ascertained from practical experience that it is impossible to sell goods as low on credit as for the cash, I take this method to inform my friends and the public generally, that I am determined to sell as low as can be bought in the town or vicinity, for cash or trade, and have reduced the price on every article, where it is possible to do so (but for cash only, or trade.) Come and price my goods before buying elsewhere and if you have the cash you shall have a bargain. I have been in business for nearly a year, and as it is said that short settlements make long friends. I have determined to settle up all unsettled accounts up to date. All open accounts must be closed without delay, otherwise they will be put in the hands of an officer for collection, without respect to persons.

Highest market price paid for Rags, Lumber, Wheat, Corn, Butter, Eggs, Soap &c.

FALL AND WINTER GOODS.
FRAVEL & LACEY
ARE now receiving from Baltimore, the largest, cheapest and most desirable assortment of SEASONABLE GOODS they have ever had the pleasure of exhibiting to the public. Having paid the most particular attention to the selection of their goods and purchasing from the largest and most reliable houses, at nett cash prices, they feel satisfied that they can offer such inducements as to make it to the interest of Cash Buyers to gurchase from them.  They would therefore, most respectfully invite all persons having Green Backs, or Produce to dispose of to call and examine their stock before purchasing, and if they cannot sell you something, it may enable you to buy cheap elsewhere.

As they cannot buy goods without money, neither can they sell them without money, or its equivalent in produce - so don't forget your pocket book.  

You can go to the East, you can go to the West, But if you pass our House you will pass the Best.
