 of amiouneini that philosophy, anal>sis, and tlie

 eased person, they are ijirions, ra-iin;.' and prey- 

 in;; upon each other. This he staled in illustra- 

 tion of his position, that mail contains wiihiii 

 himself all the principles of the universe. It 

 was also asserted that il' a dead cat he thrown 

 into a pool of sta;;nani water, and allowed to 

 dissolve there, a drop of waii-r taken from any

The Heritage. 



BY JAMES UUSSELL LOWKI.L. 



The rich man's t^on inherits Innds, 



And pdes of hnc-ks, and stone nnil gold, 



And he inlienls suit, white Innds, 



And lender flesh tliat lears the cold, 



I^Ior dares to wear a "armulit old j 



A lieritage it scruis to me. 



One would not care to hold in fee. 



The rich man's sons inherits cares ; 



Tlie bank in ly break, the ficlnry burn, 



Some breath may burst his bubble shares, 



And soft white b'nnda would hard.y earn 



A living that would suit his turn; 



A heritage, it seems to me. 



One would not care to hold in Tee. 



What does the poor man's son inherit? 



Stout muscles and a sinewy heart, 



A hardy Irame, a hardier spirii ; 



Kill'' ol two hands, he does his part 



In every uselul toil and art; 



A hcniane, it seems to me, 



A king imght wish lo hold in fee. 



What does the poor man's son inherit? 



\v lilies o'erjoyed wilh humble tliinjjs, 



A rank adjudged by toil worn merit, 



ColileiU tiiat rrniii etoployillel springs, 



A heart thai in bis labor sings ; 



A herit.iue, it seems to me, 



A king might wish to hold in fee. 



What does the poor man's son inherit ? 



A patience learned by beiiii; poor ; 



Criurage, iC sorrow come lo bear il, 



A fellow leeling that is sure 



'J'n make Ihe tjulc.ist bless his door ; 



A herilage, it seems lo nie. 



A king might wish lo hold in (ee. 



Oh, rich man's son, there is a toil 

 Tlial Willi all others level stands; 

 Large clianly doih never soil, 

 Bui only whitens, soil, while hands; 

 This is ihe best crop Irom thy lands; 

 A heritage, il seems lo mc, 

 Worlh being rich to hold in fee. 



Oh, poor man's son, scorn not thy stata, 

 There is worse weariness than thine, 

 lo merely being rich and great; 

 Work only makes ihe soul to shine, 

 Ami makes rest I'ragranl and benign ; 

 A heritage, it seems to me, 

 Worth being poor lo hold in fee. 



Both heirs lo some six feel of sod, 

 Are equal in the earth nl lasl; 

 Both children of Ihe same liisir Gnd ; 

 Prove title lo your heirship vast, 

 By record of a well-filled past; 

 A herilage. il seems lo me, 

 Well worih a lile to hold m fee. 



Glciiuings from the AgriciiUiiral Joiirnals. 



Sub soil ploui^hing. — 'J'lie Boston Ciillivalor 

 eniiinerales llie lolluuing as some of the advan- 

 tages which have been found to attend sub-soil 

 ploughing: 



On wet lands the water will run down, and 

 leave the surface more dry and lriahli>; and on 

 dry sandy soil it keeps the e:trlli loo.-e to so much 

 grealer depth, ilial the inoisliire is allrueted from 

 lielow, and siipjilles ill u iiieusuie ii wuiit ol' ruin 

 in time of drought. 



It idl'oids a iiiiieh larger pasinre fiir the roots 

 of plains, which will rim fur below our usual 

 depth of phmghiiig, if the soil be properly pre- 

 pared. 



it mixes the surface and siib-soils together, and 

 this is an advanta:;!', as ihey are generally of ilil- 

 fereiit kind.-. Or if the soils be alike originally, 

 the siirliice soil becomes exhansled of some inor- 

 ganic substances by repented cropping. 



From these tiiid oiher advantages, crops by the 

 use of these ploughs have been increased '-i-i per 

 cent., other treatment being (he same. 



Raising Ciiciimiera.— The following direelinns 

 are given for propa;;ating several crops ol cii- 

 cuuihcrs in smcession. As soon as tlnre apjiear 

 several flower buds on a plant, bend ihe second 

 or third branch or joint below the blossmn, tiisleu 

 it firmly to ihe ground, and cut off the capillary 

 point of Ihe plant. The vegelable spei'dily takes 

 root when you separate it limn ihe parent stalk. 

 Proceed thus with ihe most vigorous plaiils. and 

 as each root has only to support a few Iruils 

 wilh nouri>limeiii, you both save labor, and pro- 

 cure a constant succession of cncuinber.s I'lr ii 

 iiiimber of months, from one sort, and which are 

 not as likely lo degeiieraie as if they were raised 

 from a variety of seed. — Boston Cult. 



Scours in Shep. — This malady is one of the 

 worst complaints that aitaek the flock ; as soon 

 as discovered the diseased animals should bo re- 

 moved from llie floi-k, and kept fasting at least 

 twenty-four hours without any food. Then com- 

 mence by feeding them ill small (piantities, ripo 

 hay ; coarse timothy is as good as any ; keep llieoi 

 "p oil ripe hay iiuiil \oii are salisfied the disease 

 has ahaieil. This is the most simple and surest 

 method 1 ever tried. 



Fresh li'cd, L'rass or hay, may cause this cnrn- 

 plaiiii, and when lliorou;;hly coiiMiienced among 

 the Hock, it may spread by contagion; therefore 

 a sliifl of place and feed is obviously necessary. 



If the hay be brined once or twice each week 

 through the fnilderim: season, say, dissolve one 

 pint of sail in Ihiee gallons of water, for a flock 

 of fifty, it vvill prevent ihe scours, and is one of 

 the best inethods of winter management, if fed 

 in mild weather, that can be recoinmeiided <ht 

 silicep. S. W. Jewett.

Jr,o.\. — It is woiiilerful, how rapidly ihe pro- 

 ducts of the United Stales are increasing. The 

 iireat degree of individual and associited enter- 

 prise, induced by our institutions, the fertility of 

 the country, and the v.-isi iininher of immigianis, 

 fiirnishing an iuexliansii!ile aiiioniit of cheap hi- 

 hor, which a new country never before possessed, 

 slimnlaics production to a surprising exient. and 

 if we s;o on as we have begun, before the close 

 of llie present ceiiliiry, the United Slates will 

 probably be able lo supply the wants of the whole 

 world in all anicles, exeepl cofl'ee and lea, which 

 enter largely into the consumption of the world. 



Surprising as is the increase in the manur-u^- 

 tiire of cloth, and the produce of coltoii, "irain, 

 and provisions, lliey are yet exceeded hy the in- 

 crease of the produciiou of iron and hi-tnp. 

 Hemp li.is already become an im|)ortant article 

 of ('Xporl, and svere it not for llie imliiniled de- 

 mand for iron in the United Slates, caused hy the 

 vast amount of building constaully goiiig on in 

 this country, we should soon he exporting iron lo 

 all p.irts (if the world, and where the policy of 

 frn-eign coimlries would allow only of the intro- 

 din tioil of the raw material, our enterprisiii!.'

 fonndiics, for its miinuliiclnre inio all ihe name- 

 less anicles, lor w liicli it is the only suitable and 

 lie ol eapesi metal. 



There can be no doubt that iron will remain at 

 comparatively high price (or some jears, but the 

 advici's by the last sleamer show ihat it has been 

 forced to a point so unnaturally high, that il mu>t 

 recede somewhal. Two causes op.erale to pro- 

 duce this. Ill the first place, many works requir- 

 ing; a large amount of iron lor iheir construction, 

 have been suspended; and again, the iron mas- 

 ters of (heal llnlaiu ilave come lo tlu! decision 

 thai the price must be reduced somewhal, or the 

 prodnctiiMi in the United Stales would !«■ stimii-_ 

 laled so excesfiiily by ihe enormous profits of 

 ihe business, llial il would lead nllimately lo the 

 ruin of Ihe laiglish iron masters. In the nieiui 

 time it was found lhat large orders from the Uiii- 

 ti (1 Slates had been comitermanded ; that other 

 orders which had been filled, had actually been 

 lesohl in l'',iiglanil, at the greaily advanced pricey 

 in both cases those wanting ihe iron having ile- 

 ler;nined to suspend their works and wait the in- 

 creose of produciion. The British niamifactur-
