The Willicrinir leaves. BY T. BUCHANAN KKA I*. The summer i* gone and the autumn is here. And the flowers are strewing their earthly bier; A dreary mist o’er the woodland swims. While rattle the nuts from the windy limbs: From bough to hough the squirrels run At the noise of th* hunter's echoing gun. And the partridge flies where my footstep heaves The rustling drifts of the withering leaves. The flocks pursue their southern flights— Some all day and some all the night ; And up from the wooded marshes come The sound of the pheasant's feathery drum. ‘u the highest bow the mourner crow Sits in his funeral suit of woe : All nature mourns— and my spirit grieves At the noise of my feet in the withering leaves. oh, I igh for the dav' that have passed iHvay, W hen my life like the year had its s /ason <f May; When the world was all sunshine and beauty and truth. And the dew bathed my feet in th* valley of youth ! Then my heart felt its wings, and no bird of the sky. Sang over tho flowers more joy oiiß than I But Youth is a fable, and beauty deceives ; For my footsteps arc loud in tho withering leaves. And I sigh for tho time when the reapers at morn Come down from the hill at the sound of the horn: Or when dragging the r;\ke. followed them out When they tossed the light sheaves with their laughter about ; Through the field, with boy daring, barefooted I ran ; Jtut the stubbles foreshadowed the path of the man. Now the uplands of life lie all barren of sheaves-- While my footsteps are loud in the withering leaves. What is Practical Farming:? The following front the Massachusetts Plouyh'/nan contains much good sense : It is often amusing to notice the stress; which is laid upon the term “ practical/* and ■ he word “experience/ 1 n connection, not only with agricul tural, hut with all other pursuits. Most men seem to think the value of expe rience is. as a matter of course, meas ured by its length. Now, experience with some men is <|iiit a different thing from that of others. Some merely float along on the surface, as it were, doing mechanically what they learned to do when voting — the same old routine in the same old ruts, dropping no errors and adopting no improvements. Others go through the world with their eyes open. They try to prove all thines, and hold fast to only tlio.se which are good. They are all the time experimenting, and making new trials, and testing new theories. They observe and study, analyze and compare. They are all the time acquir ing something new. It is obvious that the experience of these two classes of men is an entirely different thing. Its quality is different, and with time and trial, one has gained something of real value, while the other has not. It has been said that “to most men experience is like the stern light of a ship, which illumines only the track it has passed. ’’ But to a wise man alone experience or practice becomes, as it were, the mind’s eye, enabling him to look before him and choose the right "'ay. It is a true guide in his pathway through lile. And here Lord Bacon’s receipts are worth remembering. “In the discharge of thy place/' says he, “set before thee the best examples, for imitation is a globe of precepts ; and niter a time set before thee thine own example, and examine thyself strictly, whether thou didst best at first. Neg lect not also the example of those that have carried themselves ill in the same place, nor to set off thyself by taxing their memory, hut to* direct thyself what to avoid." And so another wise man says on the same point: “ Surely long experience doth profit much, hut most, and almost only, to him that is diligently instructed with precepts of well doing. Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty. Every craft and science standeth in two things : in knowing of his craft, and working of his craft, for perfect knowl- hringeth a man to perfect work ing. Here is the point, after all; in telligence, knowledge with experience, science with practice, and the value of one depends much upon its union with the other. I i act ice, some practice, is essential to constitute a man a practical farmer, hut unless there has been intelligence to begin wit h, and study and close observa tion throughout, a practice of forty years may be no better, it may even be than a practice of five. As of the boy, be ac quired by experience. And hence knowledge, intelligence, education, ought to be considered in estimating the value, of experience, and it ought to he considered as lying at the founda °* _ a H t,ie preparations for the duties of life. How Soils are Exhausted. I’he following excellent article we copy trom the Massachusetts Ploughman: Every farmer is familiar with the fact that every crop he raises takes from the soil of Ins farm certain elements which have entered into the growth and forma tion of those crops, the particular con stituents differing according to the character of the products. We h ive been contemplating for some time a leply to the following question, re ceived from one of our correspondents, What elements are usually wanting 11 old helds, once very fertile, now at a low state, where the crops raised have beenpotate, grains, hay and Indian In order to answer this question satis fact only, it is necessary to look at the constituents of these several crops.

In jq. ! f |'CBiiJerou.s weed ) abounds by square miles, and almost forces farmers to abandon the cultiva tion of' the land altogether, they adopt no other mode to destroy it than mow ing in August. This of course dimin ishes the natural increase of the growth somewhat the following season ; but that is all. Next year the thistle ap pears again at least as abundant as ever —and so on the evil is permitted to go on year after year. Frequent cultivation of the land has a good effect in lessening the growth; and thus we notice that in “ hoed crops”—that is. in corn, potatoes, etc. —it was much less abundant. But we could not see that there was any gene ral or systematic effort anywhere made for its thorough eradication. Farmers seemed, indeed, to view it as a thing not to be got rid of. If otherwise, how was it to he done? They do nothing be side mowing,and that sparingly enough. They say it is no use. 'Phis is an easy way for lazy people to dispose of any question requiring labor which does not appear to bring money immediately into their pockets. Even in this view our readers will scarcely believe us when we say that their barnyards are full of thistles, and that it is to be seen perfectly at home, in the door yards anong the rosebushes, holly hocks, etc. 'fhe best way to destroy the thistle, in patches and fields, is by the copious ap plication of salt. If before a rain the stalks are cut off close to the ground and salt poured into the cavities, it will be sure to destroy them. But even a heavy dose of salt, applied about or nearly in the same proportion as upon the asparagus-bed, before a rain, will do tho work thoroughly. But mind there must be no sparing of the salt. No mere sprinkling. The ground must be covered. It will of course kill every thing else for that season, but it will hardly be perceptible the following sea son, and will actually pay as a fertiliser. (icrmantnwn Tclegraph. Feeding Vrtbfoken Grain to llogs. Dr. Lehman lias lately communicated to the Agricultural Association of Sax ony the results of some experiments of feeding unbroken grain to hogs, the animal to which the test was applied being a three-year-old pig, of an English breed, which had previously been fed, for a year and three quarters, exclusive ly with rye bran. Four pounds of bran were given to it every twenty-four hours ; and on each of the first two days of the experiment an addition was made of one pound of the grain experi mented upon, the rations being fur nished in only a slightly moist condi tion. The first of the undigested grains were passed oil* at the lapse of from twenty four to twenty-five hours, the last of them appearing at various inter vals 5 as, at the end of. sixty-two hours for oats, seventy-eight hours for rye, and tin' same for peas. In reference to the quantity of undigested and unal tered grains found in the excrement, it is stated that in one hundred pounds there appeared unchanged and entire f>o.o of oats, 54. S of barley, 49.8 of rye, and 49.40 f peas. From these results it will he seen that in general only half of the entire grain is used in the process of digestion, and that every one who fur nishes food in this manner has to sup ply twice as much as is actually neces sary, at, of course, double the necessary cost. It is, therefore, very evident that a due regard to economy makes it ex pedient to reduce the food to a more or less fine condition before it is given to such animals. Storing Potatoes. As the time has arrived for potatoes to be harvested, l wish to say to those who have them to harvest, to put them in barrels as the best mode of disposing of them. There are those who have tried this for years, and cannot be per suaded to keep their potatoes in any other way. Dig and expose to the air until dry ; then put up as directed, tak ing the barrels to the field. Store in the cellar any part most convenient. I he advantage is that the air is not,ex posed as with o)i' Mns, which olten vitiate- it and always leave a potato odor. You have nothing of this. An other advantage: you can put where most convenient* py; • ‘ i ,^,, r ure ;*i. i * —..ictfity, and you may place IKer upon tier of barrels till up to the tloor. When it is wished to use any, a barrel is opened and used, and so on with the rest, leaving no dirt, the ground remaining in the barrel. Ur if it is wished to sell they are already put up. Any barrel will do so that it is strong enough—a salt barrel is as good as any.— Correspondence Country Gentle man. A .Moral Tale—Hon Two Honest Men Prospered.

Society and Fashion. Little soap locks on the side of the face are out of date. The plaited Garibaldi waists continue to grow in favor. The postilion, variously modified, re tains its popularity. Short curls and frizettes on the fore head are still in vogue. Long kid gloves are again worn with the open sleeves. Plaited and twisted coronets of hair are to supersede the Pompadour roll. Midnicht croquet parties are the latest fashionable amusements in Eng land. Very long coat-shaped postilions are to he worn with demi train skirts for indoor toilets. Scarf veils of brown gauze are much worn, tied around brown straw hats, with a variety bouquet in front.

Demi-trains are to he adjusted for street wear by means of tapes to loop them up to the waist at the back seam*. The game of croquet, played with four balls and known as “ light cro quet,” has been abolished for various reasons. Deep flounces are more in favor than narrow ones.

Exim.oration of the Basin ok the Yellowstone.—The Secretary of the In terior received a letter from Professor Hayden, Hinted States Geologist, dated Emigrant Gulch, Yellowstone River Aug. 28, in which he says : “ The exploration of the Yellowstone basin is now completed. t >ur labors have been entirely successful. l T p to this lime no accident has befallen anv member of our party.

Converting U. S. Five-Twenties. Messrs. Jay Cooke A t Co., have issued the following financial circular, relative to the general condition of the loan market, and the exchanging of Govern ment bonds for Railroad securities : Basking House of Jay Cooke k Co., Philadelphia, September, 1871. The signal success of the New Five per Cent.. Government Loan foreshadows the early funding of the entire Public Debt at 5 per rent, or a less rate, and indicates that : the average rate of interest on loanable capi tal in this country will not henceforward be much above 6 per cent., the tendency being to an equalization of rates between America and Europe. In view of these facts, the present holders of the United States Five-Twenties must de cide whether it is not best to make at once ; such a change of investment as will enable | them to realize as profit, , or add to their capi tal, the present average premium of 14 per ! cent, on Five-Twenties, while at the same j time largely increasing their annual income. Holders of Five-Twenties of the issues of 1862 which, under the recent announcement of the Secretary of the Treasury, will be paid off in December next, have special and immediate reason to consider the question of conversion, unless they wish to receive coin for their Five-Twenties, or exchange them at par for bonds of the new issue, hear ing an average rate of -ft per cent. To all holders of United States securities who wish to take advantage of the present most favorable opportunity for making the suggested change of investment we strongly recommend Northern Pacific Seven Thirties (principal and interest payable in gob!) now selling at par in currency. The results al ready accomplished in the construction and equipment of nearly Three Hundred Miles of road, and the rapid development of the adjacent country, have established the per manency and success of the Northern Pacific enterprise, and created a large and rapidly increasing d mand for the First Mortgage Bonds of the Uonipany. With their nigh rate of interest, ample security, and their eonvertability into the Lands of the Com puny at 10 per cent, premium, they consti tute a most desirable investment, and can hardly fail to advance considerably above par at an early day. The holder of a SI,OOO Five-Twenty bond who exchanges it now for Northern Pacifies, thereby increases his principal by 14 per cent.., receiving’, $1,140 in Northern Pacifica for SI,OOO in Five-Twenties. He also per manentlv increased the yearly interest in come on his investment more than 38 per cent., or from $60.00 in gold t 0583.22 in gold. Funds invested in Five-Twenties at their present premium, yield 5| per cent, interest in gold or 5 0-10 in currency. Northern Pacific Seven-Thirties yield 7 3-10 per cent, in gold or 8f in currency. These most unusual opportunities for the profitable conversion of Government Bonds into Corporate Securities of undoubted re liability cannot, in the nature of the case, long continue. The increased abundance of loanable capital both at home and abroad; the almost certain rise in value of all desir . able railroad mortgages, the early funding ot the residue of the National Debt at lower rates, the rapid absorption of Northern Pa cific Seven-Thirties and the probable early substitution of a six per cent, bond for the remainder of the Northern Pacific loan, promise very soon to change the entire aspect of the loan market, which is just now so peculiarly favorable to investors. This state of tilings suggests prompt action >n the part of those who wish to exchange securities in time to profit by the present high premium on Five-Twenties.

Ct:rioi;s Discovery.—Among the curi osities. of recent scientific discovery may be instanced that made by M. Bertscb, and turned to practical ac count bv M. Kuhlmann, the celebrated chemist. M. Bertsch has found that Epsom salts, or sulphate of magnesia, dissolved in boor, together with a small quantity of dextrine, or artificial gum, applied to a pane of glass with a brush, will, on orystali/.ing, produce the iden tical formed on glass by frost in cold weather, with tills improvement, that the liquid may receive any color whatever at the option of the operator. M. Kuhlmann, however, conceived the idea of going a step further, and trans ferring those fairy-like creations to stuffs and paper. For this purpose he first got the crystalizations on sheets of iron, on which he afterwards laid one of load. By means of a powerful hydraulic press the minutest details of the figures in question were duly imprinted on the soft metal, and a copy of them in relief was then obtained by galvanoplastics. But in the impression of cotton stuffs the pattern must be continuous, where as in M. Kuhlmann’s plates the lines at one end would fail to coincide with those at the other, causing disagreeable interruptions in the printed designs. I'o overcome this, lie ingeniously effect ed the crystali/ation of the cylindrical surface of a roller. A slight rotary mo tion imparted to it prevents the liquid from accumulating at any particular point before it has evaporated. Tiie idea of a universal medicine is at last realized in Pit. Walker’s Vinegar Hit ters. This concentrated essence of the finest medicinal herbs and roots in the Western hemisphere eradicates all diseases which have not undermined the sources of v tality and in chronic indigestion, nervous head ache, congestion of the liver, rheumatism, gout, general debility, and innumerable ul colons and scabious disorders, it is a specific absolute and infallible.

It is no longer considered wise to put a patient to the torture in order to cure bint of a disease in which puin is already undermining the energies of Ins system. True science ranges itself on the aide of nature, and endeavors to assist her ill her light against disease, ■rids is Hie province of Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, the most approved tonio ever advertised in this roniltrv. It may be recommended asafall medicine paroxccl b nce; for it is in the fall that biliousness, dyspepsia and malarious fevers are especially prevalent The frame, exhausted by tile heats of summer, is relaxed and feeble at its close, aud requires, we may say ,1, ■ inourf. artilicinl assistance. Afford it that assistance in occasional doses of Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters, and the evils referred lo may be escaped. Throughout the lar West, and on the steaming alluvial soil of the Southern rivers, all the varieties of periodica! fever are prohahlv rile to-day. Had a course of Hostetler's Hitters I veil com need by the sufferers a month ago. i. e.. before the unhealthy season set in, seven-eighths or them would ill all probability he in their usual health at the present time. So much for want nflore casle. So much lor not keeping in the house, und using daily, the host safeguard against epidemic aud endemic feveis. *. As flocks of imposters und imitutors ure tryiug to follow in the wake of the great American remedy, therefore be sure that the article you buy is genuine and verified by the proper trade marks. The true ar ticle can only be obtained in bottles. Beware vt the 1 spurious bitters sold by the gallon or in keg *) Great Success. Tho new house of Hamlin, Hale fc Co., whose magnificent building has previously been described in our columns, are doing an enormous business, nud now sell from $50,- 000 to $75,000 daily. Combining not only all the departments ever kept by Dry Goods houses, but also the largest Carpet business in Chicago, this firm possesses extraordinary advantages. A new article for the toilet is a paste which is said will make the brownest hand white after a few applications. It comes in glass bottles in the shape ot a hand, and is very expensive. For Dyspepsia.—lndigestion, depres sion of spirits, and general debility in their various format also, jis a preven tive against feverand ague, and other intermittent fevers, the “ Ferro-Phos phorated Elixir of Calisaya,” made by Caswell, Hazard & Co., New York, and sold by all druggists, is the best tonic, and tis a tonic for patients recovering from fever or other sickness, it has no equal. §|| llli irJk .1 W.i.kkk, l‘r<>|>rUt.n UI!

Dkau Madam : The reputation ot the Medical Dis covers, in curing all kind of lituiiors, is so well estab lished by the unanimous voice of all who have ever used it. that I need not say any hingon the subject, as the most skillful physicians and tho mo t careful di ug gistn iiPtlu* country are unanimous in its praise. In presenting tho Medical Discovery to your notice, I do it with a full knowledge of its curative power, in relieving all. and curing most of tlio diseases to w h c| you are unfortunately sellable. The most excruciating disease to an affect.onate mother, NURSINO SORE MOUTH. is cured as if by a miracle; your own temper is re stored to its natural sweetness, and your babe from slcr and fretful naps to calm and sweet slumbers; and the Medical Discovers becomes a fountain ot bless ing to your husband and bous - Indd. I n the more advanced stages of CANKER, it extends to the stomach, causing DYSPEPSIA, which is nothing but canker on tho stomach; then the intestines and KIDNEYS. creating a sinking, t one ft elieg, and an indifference oven to the cares of your family, \ our stomach is RAW AND INFLAMED. your food distresses you. and you can only tako cor* fain kinds, and even of that your system does u< t get half tlie nourishment it contains as tho acrimotiiouC fluid of the canker eats it up; then vour complexion loses its bloom, and becomes sallow or greenish, and your best day is gone. For want of nourishment jour system becomes loose and flabby, and tin* fibess of ymir body become relaxed. Th u follow a train of diseases which tho Medical Discovery is peculiarly * , ' l;,r, " at ° CURE; Palpitation of the heart, pain in tho idn, weakness <*f til. r-1 p.r and small of flu* bark, pain of the hip joint when >i>u retire, irregularity of the bowels, and als that inoslcxcruliuting of diseases, tho FILES. How many thousands of poor women are suffering f i,. 111 this disease, and pining away a miserable life, ano I):> ii m-xt-door neighbor does not know the cause, w ish to impress on your mind that good old proverb. *• \u ounce of prevention is better than a pound ol ' medical discovery. you have both tho preventive and the mire, with this gri-iit and good quality. Hint it will never, uud r an/ circumstances, do you any injury. No change ofdiot ever neeesNary. Eat the best you can get, and plenty enough of it.
