fire better than any other people. Sweating docs 

 not seem to exhaust tlicm as it does a yankee. — 

 They will do hard work in a blast furnace in the 

 most sweltering weather of our summers, better 

 than even the negroes. This is the experience of 

 iron masters in Virginia.

Sleep. — There is no better description given of 

 the approach of sleep, than that which we find, in 

 one of Leigh Hunt's papors in the Indicator : 



"It is a delicious movemeut certainly, that of 

 being well nestled in bed, and feeling that you 

 shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, 

 not past ; the limbs have been just tired enough to 

 render the remaining in one posture delightful ; 

 the labor of the day is done. A gentle failure of 

 the perceptions comes creeping over ; the spirit 

 of consciousness disengages itself more, and with 

 slow and hushing degrees-, like a mother detach- 

 ing her hand from that of her sleeping child ; the 

 mind seems to have a balmy lid closed over it like 

 the eye ; 'tis closing more — 'tis closed. The 

 mysterious spirit has gone to take its airy 

 rounds."

THE BOSTON AND WORCESTER 



EAGLE DOUBLE PLOWS. 



:¥ ? B |> 



TIIE superior merits of these Plows consist in 

 1. The mode of attaching the forward mould-board to the 

 beam, by which great strength and durability are secured, as also 

 the various desirable changes in debt of work and relative depth 

 of each plow, the same being regulated to any shade of nicety, 

 with perfect facility: 



2. The entire and handsome overturning of the sod furrow, by 

 the forward mould-board, to the extent of the whole width of fiu-- 

 row taken by the plow, placing it beneath, out of the way of the 

 teeth of the harrow, cultivator, or other implement, so that it is 

 in no case dragged to the surface in the after cultivation of the 

 crop : 



3. The thorough and finished work done by the rear mould- 

 boarii, in taking up its furrow of under soil and sifting or scat- 

 tering it over the inverted sod, so as to entirely fill to thesurfacc, 

 and at the same time break open any undue cohesion of the soil, 

 leaving the plowed land in a perfectly pulverized condition, re- 

 quiring little labor with the harrow or other surface-working in- 

 strument, — and indeed, in all tolerably free loams, rendering thi 

 use of these instruments, as pulverizers, quite unnecessary : 



4. The remarkably light draught of the plow, in proportion t( 

 the amount of work and the thoroughness of pulverization ac- 

 complished. 



Sevenal sizes of the BOSTON AND WOUCESTER EAGLE 

 DOUBLE PLOW, are made by the subscribers, from patterns of 

 their own original invention. They invite their friends and cus- 

 tomers to examine these Plows, as to quality and durability ol 

 material, thoroughness and finish of construction, and to test 

 their working properties. •

Swper-Pliosplhite of Lime. 



THIS celebrated Fertilizer, where it has been fairly tested the 

 last year, has been found equal, and in many cases superior 

 to the best Peruvian Guano in its immediate effect, and much 

 more permanently beneficial to the land. It is adapted to any 

 soil in which there is a deficiency of PAos^Aaie, which is often 

 the case. All crops are benefited by its application. It is com- 

 posed of ground bone, decomposed by sulphuric acid, to which is 

 added a due proportion of Peruvian Guauo, Suljihate of Am 

 monia, &e. 



For sale, with full directions for use, in bags of 150 pounds 

 each. No charge for package. All hags will be branded "C. B. 

 DeBurg, No. 1 Super-Phosphate of Lime."
