174 The Wining nud Scientific Sress, ‘Beauriron Exrracr.—The following is from the Wisconsiu Hurmer: “Not to the mujority of men who we are satisfied think that soil is nothing but dirt, but to the chemist, who knows its origin, its nature, and its eapabilities, it is a wonderful mixturo of threo bea .tiful elements, which in their ever-varying forms become the ambient air, the liquid ocean, the precious opal, the amethyst, and the still more preeious diamond; or delieate blue bell and violet, the amarath, the lily, and the rose, the spear of blue grass and tbe eedar of Lebanon ; or again, the ruby lip, the love-lit eye, the noblo palpitatiug heart, and more wonderfu, brain. ‘Phese are the jewels of which the soil is composed, apd out of which the Husbandman strives to foree tho food hunger claims. Ueneeforth, as he turns the furrow of his field, let tbe sleep of his thought be broken by the reflection that tbe earth thus stirred up by his plonghshare is doubtless eomposed of his ancestral heroes, whose deeds are tho histery of tle past, and whose mortal remaing are the plastic inaterial ‘out of whieh are building the budies of men to day.” Sintoats or Muruvi, axp Siuntctan Metnyn.
