New methods must be adopted in order to get back to old results. When the Om - hared portions of the country were first '•cleared" and put into crops there was large yields of all farm crops. When the great western prairie regions were first "broken" and put into crops there were large and abundant yields of crops ; but now in both these regions, which include the en- tire country, there are small yields and a constantly diminishing yield of all the farm crops grown. The methods first adoptedhav must e been defective. It is not only true that the yields of Drops are falling short, but the soil itself is losing ite fertility, both of which results are caused by the same thing, namely, the attempt to cultivate a larger area than could be properly cultivated. When the country was new and lands ohmap a great temptation to acquire a large portion of land led to tb8Practice of culti- vating too many aures. A change for the better requires an abandonment of the first error—no more than can be cultivated in the best mamler must be undertaken. This will give an opportunity to do well all that is undertaken. Shallow pleating and in. sufficient cultivation permits the fertility to run to waste, thus depleting the soil and lessening the yield of Drops. Time taken to plow deep and with great care will be time well spent. Nothing is so important as properly plowing theground, I1. is not enough to plow deep, but narrow furrows should be made in order to break up the soil as much as possible—making it mellow as deep down as possible. After plowing there. is commonly a great neglect. Generally the whole field, large or small, is plowed before there is any harrowing clone, and by the time this is oommenoed the ground is baked into clods so that it is impossible to get the soil mel. low or fine, and this single item often causes the loss of one-half the crop. It is important to have the noel as fine as possible, and the best way to do thin is to harrow thoroughly immediately after' the plowing is done ; that is harrow just before noon what has been plowed before noon, and that which has been plowed in the afternoon should be harrowed in the evening. This keeps the work up evenly and prepares the ground for the best re- sults. Too much importance Dan not be placed upon the matter of thoroughly pre. paring the soil for the Drop. To have the soil very fine deep down will insure the 1 et results. The soil must be put in such oondition as will preserve moisture during the entire period of crap growth. If the soil dries oub the joint action of the earth and air in the elaboration of plant food will be prevented and the crop will be out short. The single condition which the unitive, tion most supply is a sufficient degree of mellowness of the surface soil. All else follows by the action of nature's laws. The vast growth of timber forests welt illus- trates nature's methods, and clearly and forcibly teaches the cultivator what he must do to obtain like results. The shade of the forest and the roots penetrating the earth to great depths preserve a moist and mellow conditiou of the soil so that the moisture and plant food deposited deep down in the earth are brought to the sur.face when needed by the capillary action of the earth. The air alas performs its essential part in the distribution of moist- ure and fertility, while the surface soil is moist and mellow. Tho increasing de. than)1s of It ooustantly increasing growth are supplied from the boundless stores of fertility contained in the earth and the air, which truth clearly shows that the fertility needed for the produotion of the fruits of the earth for the sustenanoe of human and animal life is absolutely un- limited. I1' then the Clreator has given ample sup- plies of fertility, mon, by false oultivatioh should not allow the soil to lose its mime.ity for prodnobion.

Terrible Predicament of Miners. A remarkable instance of bravery amid the dangers of coalminiog has come to light at St Helens. A oonple of the new shafts are being sunk at the Lea Careen Collieries, and the solid rock is destroyed by blasting operations. A clay or two ago this work was being superintended by George Atkin- son, a young man residing in Boundary Road, St. Helens. rotr blasting cartridges had been "mamned" home, and all the Wren, with the exception of Atkinson and an assistant, were taken up the shaft before the shots were fired. When everthiug was completed Atkinson signalled up the shaft and received a reply that all was right and ready for winding up the hoppet—the large iron bucket used do sinking operations. At. kinson accordingly lit the fuse attached to the shots and jumped into the hoppet. To the intense horror of Atkinson and his companions, however , the "hoppet" re. mined at the bottom of the shaft, some 260 yards from the surface, and w'thin a few feet of the four shots, rammed" home' in the rock, which were expected to go off in the course of a few, econds. To remain there mean talmost certain death under terrible cit.. cumatancea. Atkinson leapt from the "hop. pet," however, and extinguished the fuse at- tached to one cartridge, but at that moment the "hoppet" moved upwards. Atkinson, as quick as thought, sprang forward, grasped the edge of the " hoppet" with both hands, and in that terrible position, with his body and legs hanging down, he was rapidly wound up the shaft. A few moments after they had left the bottom of the shaft, 111e three shots exploded with terrific force, and the men escaped. the danger which had threatened from that quarter. Whilst ascending the shaft Atkinson, by a supreme effort, raised himself sufficiently to rest one arm upon the edge of the "hoppet," and in that position finally reached the simian after a frightful ascent. As may naturally be imagined his life literally depended upon his keen grasp of the iron " hoppet" and his fellow -workmen warmly congratulated him upou his escape from a terrible death. Atkinson's assistant, who remained in bhe "hoppeb," wosso overcome by terror that, notwithstanding Atkinson's appeal for help, be was unable to render the slightest amis. tanoe to Atkinson during the ascent.

This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indi- gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases 01' the general nervous system, It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of �'iling health front whatever c-ubIse. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known ns change, in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and cura- tive is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a_half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful ��N�ervine Tonic. TITEBVO �-J 1S DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and. harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervone exhaustion and impaired diges- tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a. general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments. disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food he supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de- rangement. (1RAw0ORDSTILLE, IND.. Aug. 20, '66. To the Great Soadh. American.

One is sometimes templed to believe tha personal beauty mast be the one supreme blessing, so many are the nostrums adver. tised, so alluring and numerous are the invitations to try this, that, or the other infallible preparation warranted to restore a faded complexion, to remove facial blem. ishes, or to defy Time's effacing fingers. " Beauty is its own excuse for being," but does the desire to possess beauty excuse these speoifio modes of obtaining it? and is it really obtained by any such devices? The ong(ng for outward loveliness must be in- nate, for at every period of the world tneans have been sought to make or mar the visage in a000rdanee with crude artistic ideas of attractiveness. Ia that cruel interview where my lord Hamlet uses harshest words tothe artless Ophelia he says: "I have heard of your paintings too, well enough. God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another." A gentle Quakeress, guileless of plagiarism, once modified this accusation in a way that robbed it of all malice and made it a wise and helpful thought.
