James Li ppincott , Cora- > mlsaioncr of Agriculture, entitled t '• Market products of New Jersey,'' < will better convey to the reader an idea 1 of the quantity and the pnrpoees to I which It Is applied, and we auUult It ' i-tignpedln ngrieoltare. After describ- " lug the nhpl beds t/ 1 hit Stale, RYd the 1 use of thefr products as a fertilizer, ' he says: ' Extending acrrma the State from 1 Sandy Hook toSalem,isan underlying I dejkiait of Marl; tho entire length ol t the bed being about ninety miles, and ita breadth fourteen miles at Its eastern and slxmlleBatkt western extremities. 1 it* area, therefcrc, is about nine hun- t dretl square miles, or Ave hundred aad 1 seventy-six thousand acres. The great taOItof tbebanvus of New Jersey la a deficiency of organic matter, s and of the solublo class of minerals s which constitute a part of tho food of . plants and men. Most of the land is almost a pure silica, and insoluble ssn.l, 1 containing a mere minimum of uulri- 1 Hon, and thciefbre affording growth 1 only to those forms of vegetation which - subsist mostly upon the atmosphere. . Still another fknlt, fortunately limited In area. Is that these sands are bottom- 1 constituting a sort of gigantic f Isaeh-tub, through which the food of 1 Kta filters down to unknown depths, a greater part of the Jersey barhave an underlying stratum of clay, which prevents their leakage and retains the organic elements within the ' reach of the plough-shares. Obviously, ordinary fkrm manures > are not available in such a region.— ' Where thkre is no grass nor grain, there can be no animals, and therefore no manure. The fertilisers must bs . brought to the land, either in the form of animal manures from the great cities, or, better still, in the uaturarlbrtillwrs j known is msrl, which Providence has , provided in a shape easily handled.

West Jersey Road proper, was ^ originally the direct route from Cam- a den to Rridgcton; and those leading to ^ Cape May and Salem, are the branches, or tributaries, over which the West j excrdsca a controlling Influence. |, That extending from Giaasboro' to |,.

T There are several gentkmou who have figured conspicuously from first " last, in the history of the West Jer- ^ Road, ami of whom _ We desire to mako mention. Prominent among . tliese, is t.

With * these lie blends nalirfng Industr}- and " close application— allowing himself but " time for rest and recreation. Wc " know his aversion to anything like fill some praise— we know, also, that lie shrinks froni notoriety and seeks no „ jKipularity beyond on honest apprecia- ^ tion of his services; and, to secure even t, this, his unpretending nature and re- j, tiring habits would forbid an cflbri.— j; Still we desire to do ban justice, and n no wtebtwvioUte lusseruplra, g dose our labors by submitting the „ following article from the Jbftftlm u T. JOB Bl YORJtE. Our state and Coantry has given us 11 many instances of men who have risen to emloentB' from the pure force of ll character which they have deffifiaprd, irrespective of any specialadvaiitngei of birth or education.

The 1 transformation was complete. Not a vestige or the supremo Caucasian race ' was left. Her physician was sent for 1 in alarm and haste. On his arrival he ' laughed immoderately, and said :— ' , "Madam, you are not ill ; you are no 1 longer a woman, but a sulphuret.

THE OLD BDSEA1J DRAWEES. ' Joist Saturday night she was play- j ing about the bouse,, her merry laugh ( and childish prattle having more of , sunshine for those who loved her than ( ever fell at once on wildest forest or ( prairie. We all loved ' ber. She was winning, and never was a dearer little t darling. One night she romped a little too much. Her nerves, not strong, like her mother's or Cither's, we're overwrought in'pbiy; *he hceame fretful, j wcull do, and her papa spoke harsh- ' ly. Then the tears came to her Heaven- ■ lit eyes, and she ran to rest her tired brain in the lap of her mamma. , We beard tho cross words ,- a laidcn 1 seemed to dose on our hearts as 1 looked at the innocent prattler, then * at the stern man, who was kind, but j £ who forgot himself, and forgot that t ,, tender plants Crush easily. Over tue | a came a shadow. The child's • voice rang out -no more in merriment ; all felt sort of sail, dark, trembly, r as if we wanted to something but f ~a'X' next day our little friend J nii-kj Tbo doctor came. She had & ovcr-plXyed, token cold, and suflered. j I next day she grew worse. More 1 1 , than one prayer went up to Mm from , » iter father— but ono from the mother, j ( tier's was all prayer. The next j 0 day she was worse, and, the next day, t 0 resting her head on the bosom of her 1 ' mother, she sank to sleep— the little I , curl before as, in a llulc box, to all h there to left to us, a friend of lis- family, c of tlie little darling. We did not know | Tis Saturday night we called in to , j say a word to those who had loved and j lost. The merry Uugh-the childish voise— the romping over the floor-the climbing into our lap- the efforts to and the iwamperings here and t there were all gone. Great tar. bad 1 spread themselves over the mother's * eye.- the vale." or the father wn« low 1 and hushed, for the dearest darling of 1 ■ all was away, God know, we pitied • them. We pitied him, for ho would , tender and poinftil. 1 not. our tears came with theirs, todrop . into the cloud ofsorrow before us. And while be aat with Ills hand, on tlie table , and hto head resting thereon, try ing to 1 reoch to her for the words tie had given. ■ and tlie life he had lost, we went with . her into another room. She carried a , tamp. It was a poor man's house, and , not fitted npwithgnsand conveniences ■ as are tlie homes of the rich. Steadily dows acre dnrkened by curtain.. In 1 tlie corner of a room stood an old bit- , hut one to the top. mid there were piled , and packed tho little clothr* of the one , | The little dresses w'cre there. The little shoes and stockings were iu one , corner, while in another were the little , toy., once the delight of our little pet. • There were little ribbons, such linv I little ones. And little cups and saucers , as she hail played with them. But ihr 1 was not there. The little clothes she , wore a week since were all there, folded , nicely, as were the beautiful little ' hands as we saw in the coffin folded , And the little apron she lind toru by ' 1 catching it as she ran post a wood box, t and for which came the cutting words. , This too lay there, folded with the rest, 1 jnst as she had worn it and torn it. In a little box were one, two, tliree, four curls— gulden aqjl beautiful— and one of them for us. You who arc rich do not always know which are the rarest treasurers. Tho tears of the mother dropped fast into tho second grave of her lost one— never a word did either speak— her ' heart was, oh ! ao far away. And aa 1 tlie door was closed and silently wc returned to another room with our 1 treasure, wc could not help thinking of 1 others who mourn for little ones — of 1 the thousands of drawers or little boxes I all over the land wherein arc kept most sacredly the tear- wot moment, w of the 1 loved ones who have gotio before.— s Dearer than life are thrae treasures. > Here mothers enn weep and pray— here tho heart can overflow its bitterness, t and take another look.nnd lecptoward-, 1 the beautiful foture, where are waiting t those we loved, but who have gone, t And as you would meet there tlie . dear ones of the heart, speak kindly. Another Saturday night, and yon may 1 bcchiUncsa. Another Saturday night, 9 and your tears may drop In npon the the little folded clothes and playthings. 1- A nd It must be hard to know that our little ones carried with them hearts covered with tlie bruises onr lips or arts have made. God, who is good, « grant that none who rend this may h have these lasting graves with tliem now or with them when shall come another Saturday night, for we would have no heart BU?d with sadness. And not for the result of a Ufo of toll would we bare our little darling die— perhaps fc tier last thought would bo of words to 1- her spoken which cut and wounded.— s Yon see we cannot call back the words t- — nor our lost ones, to ask them to ford give us. d All the evenings we have aat aud thought of the bureau drawers which e hold more lliau the clothes of the lUtk it darling who died— they hold the hearts of the living. They ant rounds in the bidder which seacbes way np there beyood the blue and into the golden— beyond the clonds Into the smiles.

Mr. Greco, thqjlfmoas diver, . tells singular stories of his adventures, wbcu making search iu deep waters , of the ' i ocean. Ho gives some new sketches of 1 1 what ho saw at the "Silver Bank,''' ! llayti: The bonks of coral on which iny div- | i were made are about forty . mite* . in length, and from ten to twetity in j ' breadth. On this bank of coral is pre- j sen ted to tlie diver une of the most . beautiful ami sublime sceuca tlie eye . 1 ever beheld. The water varies from j to ono hundred feet in doplh, and ao clear that the diver can sec from .two | three hundred feet when submerged, j with but litUc obstruction to the aigbt. j The bottom of the ocean in many , 1 places, is oaxmootb aa a marble floor; j - in utlicra it U studded with coral col- | ; uiuns, from ten to oue hundred feet in | height, and ftoui one u- eighty feet in | diameter. The tops of those more lufiy support 1 a myriad of pyramidal pendants, j 1 a myriad more giving reality j j the imaginary abode of some water | ; nymph. In other places the pendants i arch after arch, and, oa the diver shiuds on the bottom of Uie ocean, and ■ through iu the deep winding avhe finds lhat tla-y fill him with as sacred an awe as if he were in son* old caUicdral which Imd long hcen bur- f . ried bruca'U old ocean's waves. Here 1 and there the coral extends even to ti* j i surface of the water, aa if the loftier | columns were towers belonging to those | stately temples tiuil are now in ruins, j There are countless varieties of dl- j • I minutive trees, shrubs, and plants in | i every crevice of the corals where water ) ei ' had deposited the earth.
