ThU farming (lixtrict was upou a broad rM: of land which had Ix-i-n nr-d for a great many years; and, though they were the handriomckt and hinooihi-Kt looking farms in the county, vet they were by no meana tho beat. Tho summit of tho ridgo was crowned by a lediro of craniU?. and the soil, over t'ne whole broad swell, was more or lew wi t and cold. Thin was pirticularly the caso with John Walton' f.irm.nomu itnrtionM of it lx-ing wholly unfit for cultivation. J'hero waa ono field of twenty acres which was never fit for plowing. The noil was so wet and heavy that it had never been worked to any nd vantage; yet there was some good lund upon it, and Mr. Amsdcn had gain ed very fair crops while ho lived there. J.cn Grummet had a curiosity to see what was going on in Walton's barn.so he dropped m there. Jle found that the whole of the floor, where the cattle stood, had been torn up, and that they were digging a wide, deep trench the the wholo length of the tie-up.

I think, by proper management, I can get fully double the quantity of manure which others have got on this place. fv'Do yei said Grummet, sarcastica! "lea, returned the young man. "It is a lace that liquid manures, could they be saved, would folly equal the solids, both in bulk and value; and when combined with well-rotted muck and some other articles which shall take up and retain all the moro volatile parts, I feel sure that they will allbrd more fertilizing powers and properties than tho solid manure can. - "You don't Bay bo!

"I don't s'pose it costs anything to do all thief" , "Oh, yes; it will cost mo considerable before 1 get through. "Yes, I shoulfc think 'twould!" "I say," he cried, as lib met Sawyer shortly afterward, "John Walton's about as nigh being crazy as a man can bo." "Eh crazy, Benrl" "Oh,he's got his head full of all sorts of nonsense. lie's got his stable floor torn away and a trench dug there big enough to hold more'n fvvonty car-loads of dirt." "But what in nature's , he coin' to do1" - ' "Why, he's goin' to save tho liquids, as ho calls 'em. And he's coin' to put in something to take up the tlie vol voluntary parts. "Voluntary parts?

Autumn cimn, and after John Wal ton had mowed over his twenty-acre fiuld fcomo of his eoldeKt and atillVst y were quite deep nnd broad, and into hem he tumbled nearly all the stones that could bo found in the field. "A pooiy expensive way of getting lid of your rocks," remarked Grummet. "It's a better plneo for them than on the surface, isn't it?" returned Walton, with a smilu- "Perhaps. But what on earth are ye dotn' it fori" vv by, I'm going to sre it under-1 draining won t improve nm land. "L ndrrilraimii' hats that! "It is simp'y drawing off . the water from tho surface. This land is cold and wet; but if I can get the water to drain off among thexo rocks, the sun may warm the surface and give me a good piece of boil here." But it looked very toolWi to Ben Gmmmet. He lelieved that "what was the nature of the soil couldn't be altered." 'That's a Kur'us contrivance," said Sinn Bancroft, llo und Ben, Grummet had been nt work for Walton hauling muck. lie alluded to a largo vat at the back of the bouse, into which ran a ttjiout from the sink. This vat was ca pable of holding several cart-loads if stuff, and was about half full. "That's a con Kst vat," explained W a; ton, who overheard tho remark. " All the slojis from tho bouse -the fionmtid and such Kti'.ff -which most teop!e waste, 1 save by tliis means, and turn to ''ood account ; and, instead of throwing away refuso matter, I put it in here, and h t it rot and fcnneni and make manife." " But what's this charcoal du,t for V "It answers two ptirjioseis, though by only one olhce. it takes up the am monia and other volatile matter, thus holding them for fertilizing agents, and at the same time prevents tho disagree able elUuvia which would therwise ari-e from such a fennenling mass. "That all sounds very well," remarked Ben, after Walton had left them ; "but let me toll you, it don't pay I He'd let ter let such fandangles alone if he ever cxixicts to make a hvm at farm in V IJefore tho ground froze out, Walton threw ont most of tho muck behind bis stable, which bad become well snturated, and filled the trench anew. 1 he old farmers bad a great many apple tiees, and made a great deal of cider : but tho fruit was of an inferior itiality. When spring came, Walton went to some of ins ne'ghhors, and asked them to go in with htm nnd send lor some good scions to engratt upon their apple-trees. lie explained to them just the plan he had formed for bis own orchard, lie had engaged a coniiietcnt man to come and do the work of grafting, and, while they were about it, it would lie cheaper to get crafts enough for tho wholo neighbor hood. It was of no use. Tlie old orchards wore juss sucii as meir lauiers i.aa, ana were good enough gallon went a it alone, lie had his trees all pruned . 1 ,1 M 1 1 and dressed, and nearly aU of Uiem grafted to. such fruit as he thought would thrive and sell best. A little while later and Ben Grum met had occasion to open his eyes. He found that John "Walton had contrived to have 104 full loads of manure, all of which had Isjen tmulo within tho year, However, ho finally shook his head and said : " Wait ; we'll ece if it's good for anything. A little while later, and tho grass be- gan to spring up on the twenty-acre lot as it had never sprung up before, the two acres, which had boon plowed and hai-rowod up light and-fine, iseing the nest crop oi corn tuat was grown in uie whole county, and ell tho manure put upon it was soiiio that had been manu- factured. And no -fliA tiiriA went on. and John Walton was continually studying ho if to improve his farm. At the expiration of a few years tho new scions had grown m.

" Good gracious !" ejaculated Eben synonym for something grand and en Sawyer as Ben Grummet and Sam Ban- nobling, and when he bade her good croft camo into the houso ono cool night he rushed eagerly home, excitedly autumn evening, and the three filled their mugs with new cider ; " have you heard about John Walton's apples I" " I knew there was a man up to look at 'em," returned Ben, "but I ain't heerd no more. "Well. I was there, an' .hecrd the wholo on it, so I know. I never would have believed it. An orchard turn out like that." - "But how was it?" " Why. Walton was offered caish right down $500 for the apples he's got on hand ; and he tells ma he sent nearlv S300 worth of early fruit off a month or bo ago." It was wonderful more than won derful. But they had to believe it, "And look at that twenty-acre field," said Bancroft. " Ten years ago it wouldn't hardly pny for mowin': now look at Lit. Think o' the c6rn and wheat he's cained there : and this yeai lie cut nioi-'n forty tons of good hay from It." " lint tlmfc itm't half," interposed Sawyer. " Look at the cUck he keeps, and see what prices he gets for his cows and oxen I Why, he tells me lie's cleared over $2,000 this year on his stock." At this moment Mr. Walton came in. 1 f e had grown older and was somewhat stouter than when he first became a farmer, and his neighbors bad ceased to question hi capacity, and had come to honor and respect him. " We was talkin' about you, Mr. Walton," said Bawyer. "Ah !" returned John, as he took a eat by the fire. "I bojsi you found nothing bad to say of roe." "Not a bit of it. We. was talkin' about the wonderful improvement you've ma-do on the old place, and of the money you make." "And do you think it wonderful V "But ain't itf "Well," replied Walton. "I don't know about that. "But I'll tell you what I do know; there is no class of people in the world who may study, the arts and sciences to better advantage than the farmers, and yet, I am sorry to say, tli'-ro is no class, as a class, occunvinr? the same social position, who read and J study less. There are many honorable exceptions, of course. Farming is a science one of the most deep .and in tricate and be must be a man of more than ordinary capacity who can master it all. But farmers must not be afraid of tooks : they won't, if they are wise. lollow every advice which expenmental wts give, but they may study, and rea- I O J J - son, and experiment for themselves.

Could these words be addressed to his own daughter ? Yes, it was indeed Maria's sob-choked tones that replied : "This, then, is ths reward for my sacrifice my devotion.

Oh t Heaven is nearer than mortals think. When they look with trembling dread At the misty future that stretches on, From the silent home of the dead. Tls no lono Isle on a boundless main No brilliant but distant shore, When the loved ones who are railed away Must go, to return no more. No, Heaven Is near; but the mighty veil Of mortality blinds the eye That we cannot see the Angel bands On the shores of eternity. - The eye that shots fn the dying hour Will open tlie next in bliss ; The welcome will sound in the Heavenly world Ere the tatewelHs hushed in this. We pass from the clasp of mourning friends T the arms of the loved and lost. And their smiling face will greet ns (here, Which on earth we bare valued most. , Yet oft, In the hoor of holy thought. To the thinking soul is given The power to pierce through th mi ;t of sense To the beauteous seenea'of Heaven. Then very near seem its pearly gates, And sweetly its harping fall, Till the soul Is restless to soar away. And longs for tho Angel eall.
