The Asiatio nations had allon to decay. Spain to-dny, as compared with Bpain of Fordinand and Isabolls, was also in do- cay.

Romse, ‘her languagoe dead, Lor power a priost-craft, her gloriea gone, and hor namo & romance, aided in confirming the thought that continuance was not guaranteed by more Yrosporlty. God valuod 0odnoss too much to allow weelth, art, scienco, 0 ecoure pormanenco without individual good- mess, Ho would not pormit a nation rich in art and beauty to imperil human nature by perma- nonce in wanton and solfish ways, whon luzury ato its way into socioty all the nrts and eciencos, churchos and cathedrala would not eave o nation from docline.

Some of the worst poisoners of socinl lifo were pat- terns of decorum,—modols of propriety. The 'most dangorous persons in this community—cor- talnly in the spenkor’s—ywore leadors of fashion, priosts and priesteeses of hoathen world-worship, gorgeoualy faithful to propriet{. ‘The locat au- thoritics and demagogues gilded vice, made parks, oud boulovards, and buildings, oud ocks, and_mado avery{mdy forgob that public virtue was dying, and private virtue was dylug with it. And, with all tho clattor of the prons, thore was no help for it but porsonsl princi- {nln end roligious conviction. .

Wo could not teach chil- dron virtue without virtuous porents, or toach religlon without roligious teachers. _Socioty rosted to-day on mere prudence and mutual concession. ~Christianity was to-day a- mere ideal ; was by coramon consont regarded as im- practicable. “Statesmon and philcuurhors ban- iehod it in o mere compromiso. ‘The Gospel, whilo it addressod the horolc in humanity, never advanced o fact. The moral soversign would not acknowledge for his kingdom one in which avarico, tho lovo of solf, predominated. Tho m::fidom of God was always at hard to any who would seize it by violence, Like that.liberty ‘which every slave could goizo from his owner, it could only bo_ oblained by violence, and uof onoin o thousand gonerations cared to snatch it. The Church was erocted to-day as a sentry-box, agoinst the lukewsrm followers of Bhrlut, against bad citizons, slaves of appetites, carmo- xunts of wealth who were too cownrdlf to take the Kingdom of God by violenco. The Kingdom of heaven was at band, but unless wo wore ready to enter it eword in hand like o soldier, proe poféd todo violenco to the prejudices of our- solves and our neighbors, wo mught as well give up all idea of getting in.

From Our Agricultural Correspondent, CuAnrazan, UL, April 20, 1873, As a goneral thing tho fmportauco of THE POTATO OROI 1n lost sight of on the farm, and is loft to thoso cultivators who mako it & speclalty., This is, to & cortain dogres, wrong, for the potato is a profitable crop when put in its proper place in tho rotation. Then, asido from tho markets, the potato hns o valuo for the fecding of stoolk,— not undor all conditions, it is truo, but under many ciroumstances, and §, {8 our duty to study ond consider thoso. Wo must novor lose sight of tho fact that tho wonther is boyond our control, and, whilo we cannot order tho weather, wo may accommodato ourselvos to its changing moods. Wo noed not stop to pray for rain, for that 18 o matter thaé dooa not portain to prayor ; wo nood not ask for its susponsion, for no amount of praying will chango the clemonts, for thoy aro controllod by fixed Jaws ; but we may pray for knowledge how bost to couform oursclvos to the conditions that God lina glvon us. God is not going to soud us baked lonves, brolled fish, and roast boof, whon wo nek Iim to givo us this day our daily brond ; but wo aro to obtain these from tho moans that aro prosontod to our handa, Our King is Commorco, and we worship in groups. We aro bent on money-gotting ; we must turn our Iabor to cash bofore we look aftor our own comforts or our best interests. Wo grow wheat, and goll it to the shippors, and then buy our flotii* from the desler. Wo grow corn, and sell it for 20 cents o bushel, or loss than half &cont a pound, and buy menl at a cont & pound. Wo gond to Minnesota and Michigan forpotatoos, or, what is worse, often do without thom. Wo send to the markot-gardener for onions, and buy cannod fruit from Baltimore. Wao sell beof and pork on foot, and depend on the Ohicago pnokers for corned beof and boms. And thon we raigo & huo and ory against raflronds and middle- men; and yot no class of men cmploy theso, more unbusinoss-like, than the farmers. Lot us, thon, show & littlo more wisdom, and first produco all tho products that wo need for tho farm that aro consistont with our soil and cli- mato, and thon spond the romainder of our of- forts in growing sometling for the market. The old story about hog and hominy was no myth, but ono based on solid truth; but the hominy-mill has given place to the potato-patch and every family that has o supply of good pota-~ toos abandon the uso of hominy., If yougoons woll-cultivated and woll-managed farm, you will find & woll cored-for field of potatocs; if at tho North, it will be tho Irieh potato, and, it at the Bouth, the sweot potato. In short, the potato is tho Index of good farming and of thrift, The farmer who knows whore to placo his fleld of potatoos knows tlnt there isn fitness of things, and gives to each crop its proper positiou in tho rotation. WIERE TO PLANT is the firat quoestion to bo cousiderod, And horo | i8 where moat fsmers mako the great mistakoin rogord o this erop. Wo must not forget that al plants bavo a natural homo ; that is, thero are cortain conditions that make up the mensure of Buocess. As an instance, the caator-beay is s perennial in the iroplos, "and I WO seen sections of theso bean-stalks © inohes in dinmeter,—a groat, hollow stom for & bean-plant ; but, with us, it is an annua], grow- ing and riponing its seods s far north aa 45 do- groes of Iatitude. Now, whilo wo may grow castor-beans for local uso, we canuot compote in the markots of the world with thoss grown fn a tropical or semi-tropical climato. ore. wo must make annusl plantings, and force tho plant by high culture, and thon, in cool soasons, ib will fail of moturing ; whilo, at tho Bouth, it is 8t homo, delighting in a hlgfi temporature, aud in 8o dooply-rooted that nolovg-continued drouth wiltsoriously sffectit. Tho potato plant is somowhat analagous, only that it Is o nativo of a muuntaln—oluvn&ou, whoro the suramor hent doos not reach it, and whore the wintor-snow pro- teots the roots from frost; in short, a cool, damp atmosphore, saturated by the melting snows, and never subject to drouthi or oxcess of mols~ ture. A high Intitude, whero the summer is short, tho air impregnatod with eontinued mols- ture, an absenco of drouth, and o doop, rich ol lod with Luuaue, will shpply tho conditions that the valloys that lie deop in the enowy mufia prosont to it. That is tho natura] home of tha otato, and whonco shall como tho large supplies {hnt commerco demands. Thus Minuesota among her lnkes, Northorn Wieconein, Michi- gan, ond slong the wholo lino of lakos, is o climate sulted to this crop; aund the farmer haa but to soloct the eoil, and loarn from oxpori- ence in rogard to tho timo_of planting. But hore, in Contral Olinols, in Missouti, Iows, Kansas, and othor points not well nduptm{ to tho swoet-potato, wo noed this vogetable tuber, and must have ft; and tho quostion is, Shall wo Dring it from & more congoeninl clinato, or shall wo ot soe if thoro-aro not tho conditions hore that may warrant us in tho planting? Wo may not expect to essentinily change ita habits. o ought not loaupgou at it can be ‘brought to endure our long, hot summers; nor will it rosist tho frost of our winters, in the open round. But, as it will grow In o low tempora- ure, and thrive in cloudy, cool, backward sprin, wenthor, wo mmlmt it_a# soon ns frost is ouf of tho ground, have the crop matured before the long, hot days of summer. If wo plant early we must plant shallow, or the soed will rot in the ground ; and, if we plaut shallow, thok}flnntn, when above ground, will bo liable to be killed by frost. But wo will look o littte further, and seo Low this shallow planting may bomanaged, and this brings us back to the planting, and tho MOBT SUITABLE LAND. 1 have said that tho soil should bo rich, deep, and well supplied with humus, or, in plain English, the partially decayod roots of plants; nuthhi! is beat supplied by the roots of the grasses and olover; aud we flud that meadow or asture, the second orop aftor break- g, Is tho bost for tho potato; ond that tho old lond s only admissiblo .of manure is added aftor avo now solectod our land, and tho next mx-fi in ordor is to Flow it and to plant the crop. ere is a subsoll plow, that is attached to the undor slde of any'common plow.
