W. - ULl - IBTinBKEST.M! There is beauty and lendernesa in tVe subjoined four lined that ought long ago to have brought the writer Into public' notice. It is a fragment of an old newspaper poem, the author of , which was never s known. The fragment reads thuif A 1&jJ--; : j . ' He does well who does his best, ' Is he weary? . Jet him Vest" v' Brother! I have done .my best, v;;. ; I am weary. Let me rest." FIELD ANJDFIRESIJJJE. Phillips' Southern Farmer. PEBD PUR 1874. The grass question is at last e'xcil iiiT a large share, of the thought of the farmers. Quite a large portion of our cotton territory has failed to .make corn to supply its wants. s It is certain beyond question that in one very rich section corn', has advanced to double price; there are fanners who are even buying, in November. This with the general. ajaouces!iHi of the fact that the North west -haR a short crop, prices tjiistadvince.f Xow what are we- Ca'f0tt6h has fallen,' ; and doubtful 'VjfUthe crop ' can average cost,, of r" prodiic tion. Hut one thing can relieve, and that is to sow. grass and small grain. Employing fewer , hanth.will not do, for the family' has to 'be fed, and feed is not here. 1 Orchard grass and clover: sown on land jwell pre pared and niade rich in the month of February, will, iy the first of" June, make hay, so that a team with half feed of corn can cultivate a crop well. One bushel of Orchard,'ohe bushel of Herds Tind six or eight pounds of Red clover wilt give one and a half to two ions of- best hay.'. Admit two bushels of Orchard and the clover.will make more, but stock prefer. a mixture, and -perhaps may be in quantity "equal.- .'o use of full feed of corn when there i plenty of nutritious hay.s There is more nutrition in ten pounds .of good hay , than in twenty-five pounds .of fodder, and not so bulky to distend the horse. TheOrehanJ grass is there win ter and summer for tweuty-five or thirty-five years," or may be longer, lied oats, two bushels and a half - to the acre, with three hundred o five hun dred pou nds of cotton-seed ' meal, sown in February,will givc, certain, on faii: land, forty, f 6 sixty, bushels by the 15th of June. Hungarian grass, three pecks to the acre, with " three hundred pounds of cotton-seed meal, iii fair laudwiU giveyfour thousand pounds of.. hay;' cut in bloom is equal to ten stacks of fodder eight . thoii-nV, sand or ten thousand pounds. f appeal lo all-farmers . be advised; Save corn for those who'need bread; feed oats and haya'nd a, little corn, and save the money and the'counlry from ruin. . ..: '- am Weller on tbe Halt Illirer.

The Daily Graphic has. been exam ining the doings of the swindling firms which infest New York. It is singular what an amount of credulity these rogues find to live upon. It is capital that is apparently inexhausti ble. -AVhat kind of mind, the ru ral Western man has who expects to get a watch worth twenty dollars for an expenditure 'of two dollars it is, diflicult to discern. The fish bite, however, at the nakedest bait: and al catch; the result is a perpetu Kither the same persons write again after having been once swindled, or the crop of. imbe ciles is amazing. In one month ten thousand letters have passed through the New York postoffice, containing on an average one dollar each.' The sawdust swindle, the five dollar sew ing machine fraud, the lottery schemes, the counterfeit money dodge, and n hundred others, received their proportion. The police have a "black list" of seven hundred names and aliases of swindling ' firms, and nearly every day adds to it. Some of these rascals are a hard to hold as so many eels, and have been traced for months without avail. Xle Southern lalm. The papers belonging to the claims lately reported to Congress by the Southern Claims Commission, as al lowed or disallowed, have been re moved to the room of the House Committee on - War; Claims, where they 'are to be' examined and reported upon by a sub-committee of three members. It is not probable that an appropriation to pay the allowed claims will be made till late in the session, when the -Third Auditor of the Treasury will be required to state the-amount in each case before the Treasury can pay it.

Tna Povtal Teleerpa. The postal telegraph systeca does not seem 'to be in as great favor tffith the . English. . people - as formerly. VVhep the British government paid 50,000,oqo,gold, for.a leasehold right to' the lines it was under the impres sion that it secured an absolute title thereby. The . price ; the company nowisk for. this latter, is variously stated at $25,000,000 to $70,000-,000. A contemporarv wants to know if " a swindle of suck - magnitude can be perpetrated in England what might not American genius accomplish if the paternal schemes of Mr. Creswell could he carried out? He was before the banking and currency committee last week expounding the advantages of' the 'postaF savings bank project. The committee showed their apprecia tion of the scheme by voting by a large: majority not to recommend it to Congress. Andjso it goes the way of the postal telegraph. - Oeorjcla Seen A Savannah paper says: The powerful actingof the greatest tragedians is too much for .the sensi bilities of some people.

The subjects were chosen to rep resent '-The East" and "The West." One Is a view in The White Mountains, New Hampshire; the other gives The Cliffs of Green River, Wyoming Territory.

They are b an original American process, with ma terial of American manufacture, from designs of American scenery by an American painter, and pre sented to subscribers to the first succestf nl American Art Journal. If no better because of all this, they will certainly possess an interest no foreign produc ts n can inspire, and neither are they any the worse if by reason of peculiar facilities f production they cost tne pueusners only a trine, wniie equal in ever reepeci to other chromos that are sold singly tor double the subscription price of THE ALDINE.

WILSON, LATE ASSISTANT OF BARON J. VON LIEBIGi CHEMICAL LABORATORY OF PROF. F. R WILSONNo, 38 Second Street; 'H ' 1 ltirN. M.TiimoB, President Gnanahani Gnwo Company, Petersburg, Va.: si : DsaX Bib I have drawn samples from the Guano, as it has arrived is cargo lota, and tod itezceedingly uniform In the amount of Phosphoric Acid it contains, namely, from 15 to "19 per cent This is combined with Lime, and ia of auimaJ origin, and readily assimilable by plants. It' ct.-Btafns poten ial ammonia and nitric acid, having a combined Nitrogen value equal to from 8 to 8 percent, of ammonia, with the alkalies Potash and Soda, and valuable proportions of- Sulphate of l ime. Tbe whole formmir a very desirable com bination for all crops and when applied to land, the cropTeceiving proper tillage, must, In my opinion, give as good reunite s any gaai ffertd to the 'anner. ... Being of animal origin, the organic matter ha undergone partial decomposition, and-it necessarily can tains a valuable amount of Humus, hit-h mki-s itsf rtliizlng powers much greater than fertilizers which are compounded largely of Peruvian Guano, which, beyond i's ammoi.ia and small phosphatic value, l as little or no power in absorbing from the atmosphere and retaining in the soil the, movable elements ab sorbed by moisture and brought down by the hum, a the guano yon are now placing upon the market. All of the components Of this Gnano are very soluble in the soil, and possess sncb pbycical propeitle- as to ren der it at all times and u der all circumstances a Immediately available plant food. 4 The-' ie samph s you sent me for analysis, from the deposit which you inlorm me you intend 10. ship from,- i-how a decrease in the phofphatie value, but a large increase liilta nitrogen cmnponndi. I think, however, from previous ob hervations of cargoee, that yon may reasonably expect, that 1 argoes taken from here these samples wete drawn, will mautrially invpiove in the saline compounds, (phosphates, alkalies antmsgneiia. .

It oontains a considerable Quantity of water, (about SO per cent) and- when dried is a paler brown powder. The Goano ia evidently of auimal - origin, andJthe minute bones, which were discovered in the same, indicate that it is the result of the decay of bate, mice, etc The quantity of organic matter, which is still present is about 13 per cent , and. this yields about 3)4 per eent of ammonia A portion of ths nitrogen is present, as nitric acid, of which about 8 per cent was found. 1 All tbe nitrogen present would be equivalent to about SJf per cent, of ammonia. The phosphoric acid in the Gnano, about UX per cent, equal to 27 8 per cent of bone phosphate. A considerable quanti ty of the phosphoric add, however, ia present, so-called neutral phosphate of lime, which, being slight ly soluble in water,renders the Gnano as quick ia its action, as a corresponding quantity of superphosphate would do.- The small per eentage of potash, which was found in the analysis, adds to its value. -' From all experiments which i have made of the Gnanahani Gnano, no doubt can exist that It ia a -vela-, able manure. ; Yours trulyr . -.
