POETRY.
ODE:
To the Surf Ivor's Association, at Anniver
sary of 187?.
(Still I mirthful mood and stifle idlo jest.
Ask not for mockery of souls possessed,
Of hallowed thought. The prayer suppressed,
80 long, hath fragrant promise still,
To soothe the breast.
Hushed be the din; from care's enthral release
TIub Bolemn scene. Throw a restrained sin
cease
As calm aa IIcro'b rest. Oh let the peaco
From gybes and bitteracss en free.
This hour's short lease.
.And o'er tho glebo of consecrated earth,
?Pile laureled heaps, as high as martyr*) worth,
And cypress strew, for Fame that had its birth
In freedom's fall 1 The life though brief was
grand,
Ere it went forth.
The dinted shield, neglected lies apart,
And glaive no more out ready sheath doth start.
The" trumpet's blare, the grappling hand?the
heart?
All sleep; the rest of never ending truce.
"Well done; their part.
Adown the track of life's uncertain way.
Hope wearied prys, amid the gloaming gray,
And pilgrim like looks long for distant day,
That night defers, and darkness mantles o'er.
With gloom alway.
Yet falter not; the march we tread is just,
Truth must be tiuth ; though trampled to the
dust,
Forward I guide right; in God he all your trust,
They fell for Eight, and, falling, spurned the
wrong?
Survivors must.

Humus and Fertilizers.
The Southern Cultivator publishes a
communication calling the attention of
planters who have used commercial fer
tilizers to the condition of their crops,
with especial reference to any difference
observable in the size and growth of the
cotton-plant in the same field, manured,
eulivated and in all respects treated
alike, or on land which, to superficial
-observation, appears to be the same in
different fields. It is desirable to know
why the same amount of fertilizing pro
duces a much better effect on one field
than on another, both seeming to casual
observation to he the same in quality.?
Giving his own experience in the matter
the writer says:
I rented to a frecdman an old field
which has not been cultivated in lifteen
years. It was utterly exhausted before
it was turned out, and was as poor as it
could be. It grew broomsedge until the
pines sprang up, and then the grass and
pines grew together. My cattlg ran on
it. The frecdman cut down the pines,
plowed tho land twice with a scooter,
and with a small plow made what he
called. beds, and in shallow furrow:
made with a scooter, scattered about 150
pounds fertilizer to the acre, and upon it
dropped his cotton-seed, and covered
with a board. On an adjacent field of
tho same quality of land originally, but
which had been kept in cultivation, and
manured every year, I planted cotton,
plowing deep with a two-horse Dodge
plow, and applied 200 pounds of amrao
niated phosphate, with ten bushels rotten
cotton-seed to the acre, and cultivated
woll.
Tho frccdman's cotton is better than
mine. Why?
Because his ground had vegetable matter
derived from the broomsedge and fine
straw, of which my field had been de
prived by cultivation. I conclude,
therefore, that fertilizers put on land, no
matter how liberally, without a duo sup
ply of humus, thai is, vegetable matter,
is thrown away.
And tho complaints we often hear of the
worthlessncss of the fertilizer is due to
this cause.
Experiments during two years obvi
ously point to the fact tbut manures
having carbonaceous matter in the form
of humus act better upon the soils desti
tute of vegetable matter, such as a large
proportion of southern soils, reduced by
repeated cropping in corn and cotton,
both of which tend to humus destructoin.
The commercial mauuro acts chemically
upon the soil which has little but mine
rnl elements left, and the result is often,
especially in dry seasons, disastrous to
crops. But homo composts net both
chemically and mechanically. The con
ductors of experiments enn draw a lesson
from them that they plaily show the ne
cessity of either a rational rotation of
crops, including small grains and rest, or
a resort to turning under green . crops,
such as peas and clovor.?Agricultu

A Quaker's Recipe for Keeping Eggs.
Being a subscriber to tho Lady's
Book for very many years and liking it,
I send theo tho following receipt for
keeping eggs for wiutor use. One can
commence packing them now while eggs
are low. It is called "Brook's receipt."
One pint of alum, ane pint of unslackcd
lime, to a bucket of water ; allowing it
to remain all night, stirring it well. In
tho morning, look your eggs over care
fully, seeing that they are all fresh and
sound ; place them in a largo jar, pouring
tho mixture over them. Then cover
them over with a number of newspapers,
then a musliu cloth.
I have seen sixty dozen put up this
way, and they keep elegantly. If theo
thinks it is worthy of a place in thy in
valuable book, I shall ho pleased to see
it among tho receipts.
