Thus two years glided away, and then Louise received an earnest invitation to visit Chester's southern relatives, and she again visited the haunts of other days, and looked once more upon well-remembered and beloved faces.

haustion many centuries ago ours may be accomplished in a few years, even within the limits of a single life. The fact from which an improving system of agriculture must proceed, is apparent in the northern and central AtlanticStates, and is in a measure, appreciated in the West. .We have all beard that certain soils were inexhaustible. The statement was first made of the Valley of Connecticut, then of the Genesee Country, then cf Ohio, then of Illinois, and occasionally we now hear similar statements of Kansas orCalifornia, or the Valley or the Willamette. In the nature of things these statements were erroneous. The idea of eoil in reason and in the use of the word, contaius the idea of eshaus-

coil is not merely the urper stra-

The fact that all soils are exhaustible, establishes the necessity foragrieultural education, by whose aid the processes of impoverishment may be limited in cumber and diminished in force, and the realization of this fact by the public generally is the only justification necessary lor those who advocate the immediate application of means to the proposed end. And now, dear readers, if you will allow a festive day to he marred by a single word of criticism, I feel confident to say that a great obstacle to the increased usefulness, further elevation, and higher respectability of agricuture, is in the body of farmers themselves. Until the establishment of agricultural journals there was no means by which the results of individual experience could be made

I suppose we ate about, in farming, where the lowlands of Scotland were fifty years ; ago, and what immense strides agriculture hiift made in Great lliitaiu since the battle ot Waterloo, aud how iiuiossible it would have been for the iarmcis to have

in many sections has been to draw as much as poss-ilde i'roni tiie land, while little or nothing was added to it. Farming, as a whole, lias not been a system of cultivation, which implies improvement, but a process of exhaustion. It I as beeu easier for the farmer, though perhaps not so economical, if all the elements necessary to a correct opinion could be combined, to exchange his worn out lands for fresh soils than to adopt an improving system of agriculture.

So you see, it is absolutely necessary for a farmer to know something about 'ology.

A Sentimental Young Lady on Bonnets Oh! the bonnets of my girlhood the kind I wore to school. I really thought them pretty I must have been a fool. And yet 1 used to think myself on hats a jaunty miss; perhaps 1 was, as fashion went, but what was that to this? Oh, the lovely little pancake the charming little mat! It makes my head so level, and so very, very flat. Ob, a sistei's love is charming, as every body knows;! and a handsome cousin's love is nice (that is, I should suppose); and the love of a true lover is a love that cannot fail but the love of a new bonnet is the dearest love of all. Good Advice. An elderly gentleman accustomed to "indulge" entered the room of a certain taveru, where sat a gnve Friend by the fire. Lifting a pair of green spectacles upon his forehead, rubbing his inflamed eyes, and calling for hot brandy and water, he complained to the Friend that "his eyes were getting weaker, and that even spectacles didn't seem to do them any good." "I tell thee, friend," replied the Quaker, "what I think. If thee were to wear thy spectacles over thy mouth for a few months

thy eyes would get well again.'' i People long ago must have had an inconvenient time of it. Just think!

In poetry , we have douc something, but not much, and what we have done is by do means of the first quality; but since the days of Brockden Drown, Americans have hardly produced a novel worth reading, a good noveliestwe have never had. The popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin is to be attributed to the subject whieh it treated of, and to the state public feeling which existed at the time of its appearance, rather than to any skill exhibited by its author in the handling of ber subject. Charles lteade, if he had taken such a theme, would have given us a masterpiece irllhe sensational and emotional way. The

tronble with us is that we do everything of

not discriminating, and have not good i

taste. We have no recognised critic in ' art or literature, as France has Tame andi Sainte-Beuve. If we should produce a really good novel it would be less remunerative to its author and less readable to its audience than a really bad one. Literature must be scnsationaliied as science must be "popularized" to gratifying the morbid taste of a people who, like us, are hungry for excitement. When everybody does a thing nobody docs it well. In the latter days of the Ueman Empire everybody who could afford it tried to be luxurious, and everybody became beastly. So it was in France during the reign of Louis XIV. The hungry demand for excitemeut always floods the market with a spurious or inferior article. Until we become more discriminating, we need hope for no change in this state of things; conversely, until a complete change in the tone and quality of our books takes place, we will receive no education in the right direction. Speak

ing both in the inteicst of artists and of

laymen, we think the movement will have to originate with authors, who, by the excellence of their work, may gradually elevate the laymen. At the present a good

work is beiKg done by the translation of

such works as Aucrbach's "On the Heights," in which there is "excitement"' enough to gratify any tasto not too much vitiated by reading, and at the same time a nobleness of feeling and breadth of thought which cannot fail in educating us to appreciate a standard in literature higher than that to which we have hitherto
