: Domestic Life. The banea of domestic life
are littleness, falsitj, vulgarity, harshness, scold
inj;, vociferation, an incessant, issueing. of super
fluous prohibitions and orders, which arerecard-
ed as impertinent interference -with the peneral
liberitj and repose, and are provocative of rank
ling or exploding resentment. The blessed anti
dotes that sweeten and enrich domestic life are
re finetneot, hih aims, great interests, soft voices,
quiet and gentle manners, magnanimous temper,
forbearance from all unnecessary commands or
dictations, and generous allowances of mutual
freedom. Love makes obedience lighter than
liberty. Man wears a noble j allegiance, not as a
collar, but as a garland. The Graces, are never
so lovely as when seen waiting on the Virtues j
and where they thus dwell together they make
a heavenly home. .....

occasions they can work themselves -up to a state
of frenzied excitement over some lone political
question. At such times they can jparade a de
greo, of .unreasoning .prejudice, of passionate
hatred, of blind fury, even beyond what man canrj
boast of.; But in their natural ' condition, in
etery uay hie, they do not take lnstmctivelv to
pblitics as men do. .Men are born' politicians:
just as they are born masons and carpenters. and

A Word to Girls.
Among the most essential accomplishments of
a young woman, housewifery takes a .very pro
minent position, and we are not , inclined to ad
mit that any girl has received a cood education
unless she has learhed liow; to be the mistress of
a house. TSo matter tow well Jyou may be in
structed io all the accomplishnienta of a finishing
stjhooL, your, education lis still unfinished if you
are ignorant ot bousehbld duties i and : whether
your position in me be; such as to demand , your
actually 'discharging t!hose duties yourself, or
wfletner ; you naye simply to see that they are
discharged by others, it is equally, important
that you tehourd know all about them. You ex
pect to be the- mistress j of home?. "Remember,

:'AgriculturaL
i - - X Exhaustion of the Soil
To exhaust a soil is, in common language, to
render it absolutely unproductive ; and few terms
are oftener used in speaking of ur yatem of
farming, than to say of. some soils that they are
"run oat,": "in poor condition," "exhausted,
&a v The question is, are not these terms mis
applied,, and is there, in fact, such a thing as
the exhaustion of the soil ? This subject has
recently been considered by Mr J. B. Lawes
to whose careful, patient and long continued ex
periments at Hothamsted, England, the agricul
tural orld is so largely . indebted for huge piles
of facts showing the effects of both good and bad
farming accounts of which we find in late for
eign journals." -The paper lately, read by Mr
Lawes be (ore the Central Farmers'" Club, Lon
don, while occupied with the question as affect
ing the right of tenants to receive compensation1 '
from the landlord of incomiag tenant ibr tho
permanent improvement made in the soil; con
tains also important considerations for our own
farmers.. .1.. ,. .N . : ; i: i C . . t -" . ' - -' -
The experiments of Mr Lawes in the produc
tion of wheat upon tbe same land, without man
ure, for a period of twenty-six years in succession,
show mos astonishing results. 'v In carrying out
this experiment, in no instanco has any attempt '
been made to increase tho productiveness of the
land by either eubsoiliog or deeper plowing than
usual, though great care has been taken to keep
the land, as free from weeds as possible. These
several experiments were 'undertaken to show -
the effect of growing wheat after wheat without
the application of manure of any kind, not even
its own straw, for twenty-six years: of barley
after, barley, for nearly an equal period, also un
manured ; of other portions of Wheat for a simi
lar period manured with farm-yard dung every
year; t other wheat manured with amnion lacai
artificials . and further of the four-score system.
nameiy, t wucat, , turnips, ariey, Deans, then
wheat again. . Mr Lawes sums, up his conclu
sions as 'follows .' '--, '-, '
To sum up the chief point of illustrations of
the extent or limit of tbe fertility of a somewhat
heavy lonm of by no means extraordinary quality,
it has yielded an average produce per acre, with
out any-iuanure at all, of 158 bushels of wheat
for 26 years : 20 J bushels of barley for 18 years;
of. 23 ewt. (112 lbs. each) of hay for fourteen
years ; and under rotation, for 20 years of an
average over the last four courses or 1 C years,
of 40J bushels of barley, 12 bushels of beans,
and 34 J bushels of wheat. I confess, says he,
'that my view of the productive capabilities of
heavy or even moderately heavy , soils, has un
dergone considerable-chaugo since I commenced
the various experitnehts to which I have referred.
Formerly, supposed that a .very few years of con
secutive conr (grain) growing would suffice to
reduce tho coru (grain) growing capabilities of '
any ordinary soil to practically nothing. - Such,
however, is not the case, and a very little reflec
tion will show how essential it is for tbe well
being, if not indeed for, the existence of man,
that elements of fertility bhould be so locked np
aud . distributed throughout the soil, as to be
capable of being takeu (up by the crops very
gradually, and so to last for an immense period
of time. : If needy land-lords or indigent tenants
could have drawn upon tho locked up elements
upon which the niaintain&nce of fertility de
pends little of the natural or standard fertility .of
the soil would still remain in England. It has
sometimes been argued that tbe soil is to bo
looked upon as little else than a support for
plan'ts, to which tbe cultivator must add all the
constituents necessary : for the growth of th
crops he 'removes, just as the manufacturer who
hires the mill has to supply the cotton, or other
material for the manufacturer. I think, how
ever; ifwould be' difficult to account for the dif
ference oft rent paid for land, except upon the
assumption that it yields from its own resources
a greater or less surplus iu the form of grain snd
meat, beyond7 the amount required to pay the
cose or euiiirnumr ana ro return interest on me ,
capital employed, and to afford a.proCt to the -
tenant." -Maine Farmer . - .
