Life is a probation, and Death is

Therefore the salvation of the soul is the
first and most important thing to which

j there is a pathway, rough and rugged,;
uud each one must treld for himself,
I finding, as he goes uo in tbe fulfillment
of lite's highest duty, that until the final ,
goal is reached, there is toil without

I of bis fond Ophelia the very "glas* of

bis convorsatioo may be pure and chaste
yet if ho has lust sight of the grand end

Tbe grim messenger is almost iViheir

"Nothing biu e.ire*. vi: mfiuory weaves.

for the Boston stock in the Philadelphia, |

Immediately after tho passag t of the

five mouths to examine and report upon

work exclusively upon Mexican pension

was to have been appropriated in the

' TOBACCO CULTURE.
r After plant'ng over, it will bo necei
sritv to replant from time to time as
1 seasons occur, embracing every opportn
1 oity to fill up tho mis ing hills. If cut
worms are troublesome, bunt for «nd
1 destroy every one as far as possible ,
for it is useless to put a plant u a hill
1 whero one of these pests has taken up
quarters, and expect it to live aud
grow.
It is important to ceiiunence cultiva
tion soon aftei planting, to loosen the
soil aud sturt the plants growing. Just
at this point many planters fail to do
their duty, which no subseqaent work
1 can atone f-.r. Early, rapid and thor
ough cultivation fs necessary to produce
first class tobacco. If the preparation
has been thorough, times ploughing,
each time with « band hoe, Will suffice
for the or op.
For tbe firs' ploughing, no miplc
nieuts is hotter than the wing coulter,
the next best the cultivator. The sec
ond ploughing may be effectually douc
with the turning plough or cultivator:
if grassy, use the first. The last
ploughing is most effectually dono with
I three furrows with the single shovel—a
furrow on each side, iliou splitting the
' middle with the third and last furrow
Never "scrape, down" tobacco with
| the hoe without putting back ou the lull
j or bed as much dirt as is scraped down.
1 This will prevent baking, and save many
j plants should a dry spell follow the
! handlioe working.
Any process which stirs the soil of
; fectuaily and often and keeps the plants
j free from grass aud weeds, will consti
| tute good cultivation, no matter how or
with what implement dono. Old laud
I will require more worn in cultivation
' thin new, and dark grades more than
bright. Short singletrees should be
! n«ed after tho plants are half growu,
to prevent tearing and breaking the
leaves.— li'j M,j. Ru'it L. ftiy/and,

said to have been an excellent working
, body snd to bavo done its business wi h
' dispatch stid wise purposo. We are
' glad to sco the people turning to other
callings in life from which to selcot leg
islators. In saying this we do uot join
in any prejudice agaui9t the legal fra'er
uity. In every legislative body thero
' ought to be 1 dozen or twenty experien
ced lawyers. In all periods of our
history the groat lawyers have beeu
great patiiots. Hut it is woil to divide
' the legislature between many callings
and thus have the interests of all repre
sented. But when a man learns the
manlier of tiansacting legislative busi

out and put in a green hand. Crude-
