A writer ia llarptr' lie'..'. puts forth a pica to American agiieultnrists to thoroughly fertilize and thus keep cp the fertility of their soil, saying tht the care of our land Las become one cf the chief qacfttiuns of tho time. If wo are to ponr oat to liiropo nearly two hundred tai'dioa barbels of srhemt an nually, the preservation of tho powers of tho soil must be the foundation ef our eaecc-ns. IUt hero our inventivo geuicj Las apparently abandoned us. Wo Lave forgotten "to apply our infel'.igcrco to agriculture. The waste of land in all sections of the country Las been without a parallel. Tue LuUtu butes are abanJoned Lir their young men for tho tempting fertility of the West ; ytt it is cot imrKutfible that industry and economy might raake tho Lands of Mas5achuelts and Coancctieat a" profitable at least as tho rands of Italginna aad the Lcaths cf Ii-gtond. They Lavo Lhe aivaatage of a emit manufacturing market, aal the protection of aa cay access. Virginia and (J.-orgU may yet be reclaimed. Wealth mat return to the (;?ne-ce Val ley, and the decay of caturo bo chocked in its westward striae. lie instances what cr.n bo done by cortfal and intelligent cultivation byre marking that in some of tho most bar ren lands in England, around Crowbo- rongh in tiasscx, amidst the black Loath and pinched Lrackca, will be foaud little farm, cottage, a wood-shed, a garden, fpringicg tip in tho waste, 4Le pro.fs cf the victory of labor.

It was receatly ftated iu cri denco before the commissioners appo-nt-eJ to inquire into tho herring fliherie of Stland, that the practice of inur ing quantity of oil from a boat on the anrface of the sea, during the heavy weather, had the immediate eCTtct of calming' the waters anl relieving the boat from the dinger of heavy, broken water. RELWIOl'S FANATICISM. A I'Hllirr Ilrli in lllmx lf ('ommnnli-d by imd tm IHrr a Hnrrlflrr, mr His IVl thiia. Charles 1 rreeman,, the Pocasset, Mass.) f rmer who plunged a knife into the heart cf his little daughter T.Jiidi re cently, became converted to the ultra views of S ?cnd Adventism abent a year -o. This sect, which La3 made its ap pearence in tho more sparsely eettled psrts ot .'Ii?sacl:nsett3 with more or less prominence at various times during tho last thirty years, believed not only ia the personal comi.j of Christ, but iruiio ca firmly in tho continuance of revelations, tigns end miracles. Farmer rreeman became a lender among the Second A dveatiats. lie be Ik vul it Lia mission to preach, aud was a zraloas exhorter. As time passed, he came to regardit as his duty to make some grczt eacriCce, which 6honld result in miracle and fix tho attention of mankind upon tho new faith. Some time ago ho announced this belief to several of his feliow-wornLiporR, and he says the long cxpecld revelation of the necessary sac rico camo to Lira in the night. Itwns then indicated to him that a member of his familv must die by his hand. lie talked the matter ovor with his wife, and perfuaJed her net to stand in "the Lord's way," ss they both considered it, They had two daughters, Bessie, eeven yeirs old, and E lith, live years oil The latter wi a runny-haired child, the pet and idol of tho household. Tho father prayed long to know who was appointed as the vic:ra. lie says ho prayed thfit it might bo himself, but it was net so to be. After patient waiting ths second revelation citae, late in the night of the murJer. Tho pet Ulith was noin'ed out n? the FaeriCce. Tho father wis taken abr.ck, bnt dared not resist tho command of God. lie awoke his wife, and told her vrhrd waa demanded. Then the mother's heart refused to ac quie?coiathi unnatural deed. She beg ged f--r her darling's life, bnt tho hns baud waa inexorable. WorkiDg upon his po-r wife's fear of displeasing ,God, Le at last gained her consent. The scone that followed is horrible beyond precedent, Aft-r lrerau had kuelt ar.d prayonl that he miht be ppared tho t?st of his faith, he nervcJ himself for murder. lie felt that ho was another Abroha-n, and that Gxl would either ftay hi j Lraxd or else raine his daughter from tho doa.l, as a reward for his obe dience. Thou he tad hi3 wife went into tho bed-room, where their two children l.iy eleppmg, biJe by ekle. Tho mother c.iriicdtl e eldest to her own rot-m. IVee- man turned down the bed clothes from tLe fcrru of little F lith, raised the knife which he hid provided for tho occasion, and waited to see if God would not ia t or pose. After n vain wptch, he bent forward over tho child, and with great care pJung.-d tho blalo into llliih's h-rrt. Tht ro wns an exclamation, and all w3 over. Tuo imauo father chippe.1 hi.s pot ia hh rrms, and held her till he was certain life extinct. Thou he laid down and slept by her side, t&U.-fled that Le had dne the will of Ood.

A Xex York psper commenting on tho annnil May moving bo general iu cities, where people cannot afford to own a house, admits that city life is not tho be?t life for children and young people. Under tho conditions of Eociety ns it is now constituted iu a great city, bono in practically abolished. There is aa cud of the priva?y aal swejt domesticity of the family.

Unheeded Adyiee. While a man wm dashing with all his might and main down tho street to catch I a traia our day lest week, a gamin rushed af;cr him and t-hoated : ll;y, mister, have you gotapia?'

Tue pedes triaa passed on nnheedfal of the advice given him. A Cow's Complaint. A sympathetic ladwrites to a daily journal under the bovine came of 'Sake) ft plea for the gentle creatures which supply our milk and cream. Bhe thus makes the cow exclaim : I am enly a cow, but cows hayo their feelings as well as other folks ; and a good deal more than somo. : The fact is, we are especially affectionate creatures, as any one who takes the trouble to observe oar ways will notice. Haven t you seen us stand close together in the pasture, Ijing down side! by side, and licking each other by the half-hour? Why, I knew a cow in oar neighborhood that hal an, intimate friend, and when that friend "was sold away from her, she pined, her milk fafted, and she nearly died of grief. And j curt so it ii with our calves. I don't say that, when we lose them young, vo remember them so very long, but the pain ia strong while it lasts, and what I say is, that our masters ought to make our trouble as light aa they conveniently can. Now I name no numes, but I do say it ia pretty hard for a mother to be started off when her calf Is just one week old, and to see the poor little feeble thing driven twelve to fifteen miles, and when from exhaustion it lies right down in the road, to see it goaded up and made to travel on with its woak legs all chak ing, and all the while tho mother's mdlk dropping down on the ground from her almosl-bursting j udder, and the poor baby's no?e and mouth bound up so that it can't get a drop, only sucks up the dust from the road.' I wns treated eo myself onso, and when we reached the yards ray calf was nearly deaJ, aud I was nearly wild. And then that strange practice of murdering our calves by Heeding. I have seen that done too, to a child cf my own. ! Three times they bled that small creature before it died ; each tima when it had bled till it sank TTOoning on tho etraw, they let it lie untU strength enough came back for it to get up, aud then they bled it again. And all to make the moat vrbite enough to suit a fastidious public To be eure I don't know much, being only a cow ; hut one thing I rf j kuovr, It's vo use for ladies to erf 'How brutal those butchers r I' an 1 next time th-?y go to market say to the butcher, , 'Oil, I won't buy such re.l-looking veil as that, I must have white veal !' It is you, gentlemen, who are brutal; it is you, ladies, who ara cruel, and rot the roan who is f orced to please you or lo3 his daily brcal.' The Ke-ely Motor Acrain. Mr. Keely his recently given a very succeesful exhibition cf his much laugh ed at motor. He .drew glass cf water, poured it into one of lhe reservoirs cf Lis maehine.which in a few minntes reg istered a prcpsare of 15,000 pounds to the square inch, j A practical mech:.nie thoroughly examined tho gauge, and found it iu perfect order, without a Eign of fraud. Mr. Keely then showed vhat he called his motor gun, which wan sim ply.a pipe of steel eibont as long as an ordinary gun barrel and the breech opeu. This breech is so constructed that it can be screwed iato a' socket. This toehet communicates with a receptacle, from which, by tho turning of a stopcock, tho mysterious power can be iutntly re leased, lhe gun was loaled with a large bullet.about hilf an inch in diame ter, and then Mr. K-jely placed in front two pieces of pine phmk, ench about six inches in thickness, aud behind them a steel plate was hung against the wall.

Tho building shook with the shock, tLe gun Lad been fired,; and the flattened bulk-t was picked of! tho floor below the steel plate, against which it had gone, through the pieces of timber, beveral other e xperiments were showD.in one of which a solid ircn globo was made to re volve at the rata of j :10) revolutions a minute, showing tho adaptability of the revsferious power to saw mills.

' What the Nurristown Man Thinks. A Gj-rmaa scientist h-n bom investi gating the matter statistically and Suds that in the majority of cases the long livers have indulged in late hour?. Lx.

'Not at at all,' remarked the patient : 'I was simply going to see how much I Lad, before the gas took effect.

A correspondent at ?fewburg, N. Y., reports a singular j triU that has just ended there. The; paigies to the suit were Cornelius Cahillra good-looking young man about twenty-seven years old, and a woman whoJ 'maiden name wa3 Ann llevingtcn, bnC who claims to bo the wife of Cahill." jinn, who is not exactly prepossessing a appearance, looks to be between thuly-flve and forty years old, but says eho s oniytwenty four. Last month CahJl learned that Ann claimed to bo hi wife, although 6ho testified that they ere married in June, 1S73, in St. uliry'a Catholic church, tho Rev. .Fathcf McAuley efll ciating. It was celebeled at twelve o'clock noon, nnd the bralesmaid was a friend named Catherine lOostello. Ann swore positively to thesefaets, and said Uiat as soon as tne ceremony was over the pair parted and did ot 'meet again until a "week affer. Shefiad had a mar riage certificate, but hd lost it. Re cently e,he began proceedings against Caball for failure to support her. Ca hill flatly contradicted uie etory. He said he is a single man, d never mar ried Ann Bevington or an other woman. In fact he did not know nn Bevington, had never spoken to her, find only knew her by sight. When hlr learned that Ann claimed him as he?! husband, he; called and they had a eonsf;r3ation about it. Rev. Father Brady, present pastor of St. Mary's church, 'Motftgoinery, tes tified that he had diligently searched the records, and could fin no isuch mar riage recorded. Had thei been such a marriage it would certainly appear. Catherine Costello, the alleged brides maid, testified that she haj not actexl as bridexmajd, and had nevfer been aaked to. Cahill was discharged! the evidence not showing the vromaa'pj assertions to ha tmo. . .'-J ." 2 : 1 1 A Dinner Siipidied byn Eagle. A vercciens gentiemnu Residing near Cintreville, Md., saja Itllit fts his son and himself were fetancingif ar his house, they descried three dark bjects about tho s"ze of email birds-farip in the air, circling and darling hithclR.nd thither. We watched closely, andfdtor awhile they approached more nccfly the earth, Wo then discovered that tey were two ducks and a bald eagle; lhe engle en deavoring to capture the tracks, and the dcks exerting thcmsolveso eluJetheir pursuer.

Mr. Sawarai in his tixth annual re view of the coVj trade of the world gives quite a numbt-f of interesting statistics. At the head ofrfhe coal-producing coun tries stands (ffeat Britain tho coal out put of that ecjtry for 1877 being very nearly one huiBlred and thirty-five mil lions of tons. J t will surprise many to learn that tl coal mined in Germany for the ea'ine par was but a trifle less than the to tiff product "of the United States; the o-u(fUt of the former being 48,290,307 tpuSand of the latter 4.9, 130, 531 tone all tpo other countries of the globe put t0geier producing but fifty nine millions 4Xons annually.. In the United State,ae ; production of bitu minous coal i on the increase, whilst that of ahthrae shows a decline, r The stoppage of B many furnaces nnd the closing of so fcllny manufactories using steam power ill account, in part at least, for the'3eT consumption of 'an thracite sincJ,873, whilst the wider distribution afjhe buuminous ooal fields necessarily rrs more cheaply; the lo cal demand, o!fh for domestic uses and for the genertjjjn of Bteatn. Accorcling to somo estirlps, if we add to tho pres ent rate of ptc. juction the demand now springing up Jr anthracite at tho West, and also abroila a partial exhaustion of the anthracite i pal field will occur in ten years, after vjjich the greater cost of mining it wijl is assumed, increase its market price ai bring bituminous coal into more exteHive use. Slnce the trst of January mjo than six and a-half millions of tonjjjhave been sent, to mar- ket as againft.aJ)oat three and three quarter milli of tons for tho same period last yef If, as is he d to be not improbable, tjj same rate of ducrease should be kcpxtip for the remainder of tho year, thJ Ordinary yearly product will be nearllfloubred. At the same time there is abetter demand for bitu minous coal, taking the two varie ties together! 4io inci eased movement in both may baf ely sot do-n as sig nificant of aMvival cf maanfacturing industries avaifm us. !- '-te i-. : - rape's Victory.
