The Drafted Wide-Awake*
I wiw a glorious Wide-Awake,
All marching in a row j
And wore a shiny oil-cloth cape,
About two years ago,
Our torches flared with terpentine,
And filled the streets with smoke ;
And we were stire, whatc'er might come,
Secession war a joke. "
0, if 1 then had only dreamed
The things that now I know,
I ne'er had been a Wide-Awako
About two years ago.
I said the South would newer dare,
To strike a single blow ;
I thought that they were cowards then,
About two years ago.
And so I marched behind a rail,
Armed with a wedge and maul;
With honest Abe upon a flag,
A boatman gaunt and tall.
My work was good, my wages high,
And bread and coal was loW ;
The silver jingled in my purse,
About two years ago.
In peace my wife and children dwelt,
Happy the live-long day,
And war was but the fearful curse,
Of countries far away.
My wife sits pale and weeping now,
My children crying low ;
1 did not think to go to war,
About two years ago.
And no one now will earn their food,
No one will be their shield ;
Boil help them when I lie in death,
Upon the bloody field !
One brother's bones half buried lie,
Near the Antietam's flow ;
He was a merry, happy lad,
About two years ago.
And where the Chicahomiuy,
Moves slow towards the sea,
Was left another wasted corpee—
I am the lost of three.
Just now I Eaw my torch and capo,
Which once made such a show ;
They are not what once they seemed,
About two years ago.
I thought I carried freedom's light,
In that smoky, flaming brand ;
I've learned I bore destruction's torch—
That wedge has split the land.
To Ambitious Young Men.
It is well that every youth ambitious of in
tellectual distinction should be taught this les
son—that whoever desires to be prominent in
the great field where men contend for the high
est prizes of intellectual lah" * i
-a- -->•-man or universal ac
quirements in these days. The wisdom of;
Solomon and the years of Methusaleh would
not suffice for the mastery of all the sciences
as at present developed—to say nothing of the
arts, the languages, history, Ac. The study
of chemistry and its application to the im
provement and renewal of soils—one of the
most useful among the higher occupations, to
which an American youth of promise could
devote himself—is in itself a pursuit in which
a life time is not more than sufficient for tliu
acquirement of a distinguished name - j
wise division of manual labor the power of pro- !
duction in every branch of manufacture has
been of late years enormously increased. By
a similar division of intellectual labor—by the
centralization of great minds on special objects
—still more astounding results have been
in science. So only can the great work of
general improvement he properly carried on.
The attempt to know something of everything
can only make a man a smatterer. The time
for Admirable Critchtous has gone by,- The
knowledge of his day (the era of Queen Eliza
beth) as compared with the knowledge of this,
is as a nutshell to tho great globe. Columbus
discovered a New World—but the Colutnbuses
of science and of art have within a half centu
ry discovered and created fifty worlds. We
say, therefore, let no young man who wishes
to he great, he diffusive. He can at best cover
but a point of the mighty expanse of thought
and labor which modern minds have spread
forth. Let him select his point aud cleave to
it. It is the only road to distinction, in the !
ninetcoth century.
Touching Incident.
Who can read the following without tears?
We copy from the Press:
Several charitable ladies lately visited one
of our military hospitals. Every refreshment
•that could be furnished, they supplied. Ice
cream was handed round, and the poor invalids
eagerly partook of it. In one corneT of the
room, however, the spoon and saucer had not
been touched. On the bed, by tbe little table
containing them, lay a young boy, his features
pale, his eyelids (trooping. A lady gently fan
rung his fair forehead, softly whispered, "The
poor little follow is asleep, we must not disturb
him."
" No, ma'am, I'm not asleep," he answered
It was a silvery voice, full of sweetness, of in
nocence and boyhood.
"Well, my little fellow," continued the lady,
as she nearer drew, "arc you not fond of ice
cream?"
"Very much so," he replied.
-"Didn't you see me place this on your little
table?" reaching for the plate of cream.
"Oh, yes," he answered, tremulously, but I j
shut my eyes and cried to myself."
"Cried, my child! why, what made you cry, |
my dear?'
"Oh, madam! if you will pull the quilt down I
a little, you will see."
The lady did so and found that he had no !
arms! Both of them he had lost in battle.
Poor little fellow! the sympathy of silence !
and tears was all tliat could bo bestowed upon
his wounded spirit. The remembrance of his
brother aud sister, oT father and mother, of
childish frolicks aud playmates loved of yore,
was awakened to sooth the fancy of the little
sufferer, and to wreathe his young brow with
the still tender resignation to the will of God

Influence of Shade on Soils.
—s —
It is claimed by many that shade exerts a
positively fertilizing influence on the soil.—
Our correspondence and exchanges bring us ;
every few months, statements and inquiries
like these:
51.—1 once visited a friend's plantation in
Alabama, and on noticing a certain spot on a
barren hill where the cotten was quite luxuri
ant, I inquired the cause. The proprietor
kupw of notliing, only that a heap of piuc
poles had lain there for two years befor the
land was plowed and put into cotton. He
thought the shade of the poles had caused a
deposit from the atmosphere, and curiched the
soil.
P.—l once spread rye-straw over four rods
square of ground, and after lettiug it lie from
October till the next April, I plowed the land,
and the yield from that portion was much
greater than from the adjoining land. I have
seen similar effects produced by piling lumber
for a year or more on a piece of ground; also,
from brushlicaps lying in the same way.
S.—Can you tell us, sir, why forest-lands
which have been growing timber for centuries,
do not become exhausted? The annual depos
it of leaves does something, of course, to keep
up its fertility, but, not a great deal. Why
should it not be ascribed, chiefly, to the per
petual shading of the ground? If you ask far
mers who raise flax and spread it on the land,
whether the grass is more luxuriant under the
flax, they will answer, yes. And why so, un
less the shading of the soil produces ij.? Nor
thern slimes of hit 1 - ——- are much in
IffcVfiSde?
W.~lt is a frequent practice of southern
farmers, immediately after cutting their clover,
to topdvess with long manure, leaf-mold, dried
peat, etc. Virginia farmers often sow peas af
ter wheat, and very many ascribe the beneficial
effects of tbis practice to the shading of the
soil by the peas.
We might multiply such facts and opinions
from many parts of the country, but these will
suffice. Now, is there any foundation in fact
and science for these opinions? W think
there Is. Aot that there is fertility in tlm tlm. -
r u out in certain effects produced by it.
If there were fertility in mere shade, then the
north side of every building and high fence
would be richer tbau the other sides, which is
not the fact. But this much is true, viz. if
you cover the ground with some porous mate
rial, as straw, brush, leafinold, etc., it prevents
the evaporation of moisture from the soil; it
condenses certain volatile and useful gases from
the atmosphere, through the agency of dew
and rain; and it promotes the rapid decompo
sition of vegetable matter in the soil and on
its surface. Hence one reason why mulching
trees and plants is often so beneficial. But
this, we believe? is the extent to which shade
fertilizes any soil.
| Many of the effects commonly ascribed to
! shading the ground may be accounted for in
j other ways. The boards, brush, logs, straw,
j leaf-mold, ets., with which the soil is somc-
J times covered, decay more or less while lying
I on the ground, and impart fertility to it; and
| leaves and other perishable materials which
j lodge about them, slowly decay and leave fer
j tilizing deposits behind them. If it be true,
I (which we somewhat question,) that the nor-
I them slopes of hills arc richer than the south-
J cm, may not the constant freezing and thaw
i ing of the south side in winter, with the attcn
i dant washing away of fertility by snows aud
I rains, be the chief cause of their exhaustion?
i And as to peas and clover, and the like, bcnc-
I fitting land by their shade, we should rather
I ascribe it to their absorption of ammonia and
carbonic acid from the otmosphero through
their ample foliage, and then tlieir being turned
i under as a green manure. Or if these crops
| are mostly fed out to stock on the farm, they
j generally find their way back into the field,
i and that in a more savory and stimulating con
' dition .
Medium or Small CloTcr.
A. B. Benham of Tompkins Co., who took
; the first premium 011 grain farms in 18(30, rc
| marks as follows in favor of the medium clover
I over the large kind grown by some farmers:— j
"Ist. The hay is of much better quality. 2d.
i The two crops can be secured at a season of ■
i the year not to infringe on our wheat harvest, i
or our timothy haying, or the harvest of any of i
our summer grains. 3d, and most important I
of all reasons—By cutting it twice the same !
season, there is but very few of the noxious j
weeds that arc so fast overrunning oui; lands, j
will mature seeds as soon as the clover seed; J
and this we may always rely upon, we are less !
liablo to have small seeds in thy medium vari
ety." Mr. B. cuts the first crop about the last I
of June, and cures it nicely, making hay of I
excellent quality; the next crop is generally
taken off in September for seed.
Rebel Fortifications.
The St. Louis Dcmocmi is informed that
the rebels are fortifying Port Hudson, one
hundred and fifty miles above New Orleans
Ten or twelve guns are in position, and in two
weeks from the present time, Tort Hudson
will be as strong as Vieksburg, and prove a
serious bar to the ascent of Farrogut's fleet.
The Rebels are running steamboats from
Pojt Hudson to Lake Providence, a distance
of three hundred miles. Also, boats on Red
River, bringing immense supplies of cattle
from Texas, and large quantities of salt from
the new salt works 011 Red River. These
works produce ten thousand bushels daily, (?)
all of which has been sent east via Yicksaiirg.
One object in the fortifications at Port Hudson,
is to prevent the Fod,eral forces from reaching
these salt works .
