POETRY. RIPB WHEAT. '.. - ? >-day ^r ? iofliued form, ? tears (fell Softly down : We looked our last on the aged face, With ita look of peace its patient grace, And hair like a silver crown. ? our own to the clay-cold hands/ ^;|or%labor at rest; l amoiig the blo.^oiu3 white and sweet, Wo noted a bunch of golden wheat, . Clasped close to the silent breast. ? . ? ' ? The blossoms whispered of fadeless bloom, - Of a land where fall no tears, i Tho ripo wheat told of toil and care, The patient waiting, the trusting prayer, The garnered good of the years. . ?? ... - We know not what work her hands hod found What rugged places her feet; What cro3?-w?.a hew, what blackness of night Wo saw but tn! peace,'the blossoms white, ^A^^&obunch of ripened wheat. As each goes up from.the field of earth ; Bearing the treasures of life, God looks for some, gathered grain of good, From the ripe narvest that shining stood, ' But waiting the rcaperjs knife. 'Then labor well that in death you go Not only with blo.--.sonw sweet? Not bent with doubt, and burdened with fears, And dead, dry husks of the wasted years? But laden with golden wheat.

Frcnn the Southern Cultivator, , i.i?. Book-Farming. ^Editor Southern Cultivator:?By far .the great er number of Southern farmers regard Agricul ' iure as a pursuit -of all practice and no theery, and look upon all scientific inquiry upon the subject as both visionary and unprofitable.? They do not seem conscious that there can be no intelligent system without theory, whilst daily reasoning from cause to effect in some sort of way to carry out their own plans. The prime object of "book f u ming" is to aid them in reasoning more intelligently, in theorizing more philosophically, in doing better the very thing they necessarily do and^onderan. It is true there are many theories in all pur suits run to absurdities, and so there will be as long as there are eccentric and badly balanced minds. But the abuse of a thing, is no argu ment against Its use, and the "old Fogy" in his iron-clad prejudices is as great an extremist, as the wild, speculative, agricultural chemist. Each illustrates the old Roman proverb, "safety la between two extremes." Since, then, we muBt have theory, let it be an intelligent one, upon which to base on intelligent practice. Agriculture is a science in its highest sense, and requires for its .successful prosecution, a wido range of information combined with a BOijind judgment, and a liberal mind ever open to^nylction.' Even in the most enlightened system, there will be differences of opinion on minor questions?but the innin point is to de velop truth, and all the truth we can. Accept no man's opinion on mere trust, however high the authority, for rmmy things are true which are fjot expedient. Circumstances alter cases. What may suit one locality, Boil, climate or condition, may not be fit for another. That wliloh? is just tWthlrig for a largo planter to do oj^bwfe'mBy oeAlie^w^rst1 thing for a smaller one, and that which is often true enough abso lutely, may be relatively false. To attempt to farm altogether by the bookf would soon bring any planter to ruin, and, no doubt, has made some visionaries come to grief but wo should thoroughly digest an agricultu ral work, like a sensible student at law would Blackstone, and pick only the ripe fruit in the orchard. In all fmming experiments, there are many contradictions and different conclusions from the same premises, because the adjuncts wero different. In South Georgia it is sound policy tojhavcf.cCtton in narrow rows and wide apart in'the drill, : while, it is vico versa in North Georgia. Tho best fertilizer for one section is often tho poorest for tho other Tho Dixon plan of farming will suit one and not the other. Clover and the grasses^ though growing as well or better in North Georgia, than in Kentucky or Virginia, do not succeed near so well. ToeunvuPj-otf tho facta arc necessary, in or der to form a Just c?nclusion in any system of agriculture, aiid part of a fact Ift the worst slough of despond in which any planter can flounder. It is not the fault of the Agricultural book or periodical, but a misapplication of their facts to your particular case. KNOX. Rome, G?, * vV'~? What is a Grange? It ii an organisation of farmers. It has for its object Improvement. It is designed to elevate and onlighton tho farmer. It would qualify him fof hia God-given profession. It aims to bring about these -objects by association. It unites those of the Bfeme calling into one . great brotherhood for the protection of all. It establishes in every neighbor hood a looture-roem-^whioli is the grange itself-'-in whioh the important truths are unfolded. It disseminates Taluable information, that all may bo btnefitted. It eolleots as well as disseminates. It is an intellectual insti tution. In calls for an exercise of the mind. It brings mind in contact with mind, and yet, bj the contact, other minds are illuminated by the friction/ It draws our our latent talent. It makes active and tangible what has been be fore dormant and unseen. It shows the importance oi cultivating brains as well 1 as soil. It demonstrates the faot that as rich harvests are developed by brala cult uro as by soil culture; that a great crop of weeds has grown up and smother ed out. tho usoful plants by the noglect of brain culture. Tho grange is a social institution. It makes a grand brother and sisterhood. It unites by strong ties those that have been before strangers. It makes each feel an inter eat in all, and all in each. It heals up the wounds of the unfortunate. It administers comforts to the sick and elevates tho sufferings of tho distressed. It is a husband to the widow and a father to the orphan. It makes ovory neighborhood one kind, affectionate family. It is a financial institution. It seeks to obtain for its members tho highest price for their products. It looks to the good of all. It learns how and when the price can be obtained. It cuts the Gordian knot which has bound the fanner to the middle man, who has absorbed tho chiof profits of his labor. It buys the necessaries of lifo where they can be got cheapest and best. It . throws its protecting arms over and around all, and weuld make them more independent. DR. H.
