But, as yet, nobody has 1 brought love within the calcula tion of chances. It is just as impossible as it wa3 in the days ot our forefathers to prodict whom we shall fall in in love with. It is still as difficult as it ever was to decide who is likely to fall in love with us. The only result which comes of meditation on the subject is a sort of conviction that under certain perfectly inexplicable conditions it is possiblo for anybody to fall in K?ve with anybody else. Good Sense.?The great trouble among American youth is the lack of application and thoroughness in what they undertake. Anything that cannot be learned with superficial study, is given the go by for something less tedious and irksome. Study and hard labor are looked at from a wrong 6tand point; and, as a consequence, the cloi kship ranks are full of unemployed and half starved young in ill, and the professions are overflowing with mediocrity, while good mechanics find plenry of work at living prices. The evil spoken of is felt seriously. Those who work at a trade do it in so loose and careless a manner that they are not component to do the work they promise to do. Among the loudest declaimers tor the rights of la bor, are men and women who can claim no rights that belong to labor well performed. ? -Tiie groiteat natural bride in the world is the Natural Bridge over Cedar Creek, in Virginia.

Where the subsoil is fine grained, and unctuous and close, or where theie is a hard pan of good quality, deep plowing may l?e nt once resorted to with decided advantage. Where the subsoil is poorer, the plowing may still be advantageously deepened by decrees, say an inch at each new Tweaking up. llut in by tar a majority ot cases, deep plowing may bo practiced at once?indeed it may be the rule with safety, wtiile shallow plowing may be the exception. Plow, say nine, ten, eleven or twelve inches in November.? The subsoil turned up will grow several stiades darker by spring.? The frosts and atmospheric influences of winter will mellow the soil. The inorganic elements and all latent fertility will be made more active for benefitting the crop. In spring spread the manure and plow it in or otherwise work it in or mingle it with the soil to the depth, say of four inches, or little more or less, and you liavo the very beet attainable conditions for realizing good crops. Deeper plowing may thus be practiced than would at all times be safe or expedient, if the plowing is delayed till spring. Planting 8trawberrles in the Fall. |

Many persons believe that spring is the best time to plant strawberries ; but the Ohio Mariner seems to be of a different opinion, and gives the following directions for tall planting: 44 When plants are well set in the fall, they will fruit the next season, as it is the tall growth of root which supports the plant for | the next yearV fruiting. Go into your gArden to-day and pull up a strawberry plant which has fruited this season, and you will see the old stock of roots dead and black, and from the crown of tho root beneath a set of new roots potting out; these must inake a good fan growth or you will get no considerable crop of fruit next year ; and transplanting now causes a less jar in the natural condition of the plant than if taken up at any oth er period of the year. Choose for planting yonng rnnners that aro well rooted ; then on a cloudy day proceed with your work. Draw a line whore you desire to plant, and mark a place for the row ; spread out the roots evenly on all sides : set in so

autumn will be quite free from growing grass the following spring; tbo roots of the late overturned sward being so generally killed by the immediately sue ceeding winter that not much grass will readily 6tart in spring. 5. The frosts of winter disintegrate the plowed land, so that it readily crumbles in tine particles in spring, and a deep, mellowseed bed is easily made. The chemical changes and modifications rest Iting from atmospheric action during the winter develop latent fertility in the upturned lur rows, which, together with the mellowing influences, materially increase the crop. 0. Most kinds of insects are either wholly destroyed, or their depredations materially checked, by late fall plowing, especially the common white grub and the cutworm. 7. Corn stubble-land may be Elowed late in the fall, and thus o all ready for very early sowing in spring, thereby going far to insure a good catch of gross; the roots of the new seeding getting hold well, or beini? well estahlifth -

? o are not greatly different in their results, although tiie deeper planting is a little lure in ripening, and is hardly so productive. For this reason wheat planted with a good drill on well prepared and rolled ground, where it may bo put in vrith great evenness, ripens more uniformly, and brings a rather better return than wheat sown broadcast and covered with a barrow at different depths. For the same reason twenty1-five per cent, in seed is 6avcd by using the drill. That is, a bushel and a half per acie will answer the same purpose, it properly drilled in, as two bushels sown broadcast and harrowed. In a light loose soil the depth may l>e greater than in one more heavy and compact. A greater depth is required during a lime of serious drought than when the soil has a good supply ot moisture. As a general average, a depth ot two inches is enough. One inch would be better if the soil were sufficiently moist, but it is difficult to get a
