quarter improvement may come; but
as improvement is the object of our in
stitution, we wish to give to its spirit
encouragement, by every means in our
power. Let no individual then with
hold fact, tending to illustrate good
husband,y, household economy, and arts,
because that fact may not be included
in our list, for premium. Whatever
in any manner relates to either of these
subjects, it is the business and the in
clination of the Society to consider
and to cherish. Much has been
said abroad of the mangle wortzel-
of the ruta baga-of the millet--of
the profits attending the cultivation Of
tobacco and of cotton; and yet in our
district Of country, We remain in almost
entire ignorance Of them all. A more
acceptable contribution could not be
made than plain and practical account
of the method pursued in the cultiva-
ton of either of them. In some parts
Of Virginia, the cultivation Of cotton is
beginning to engage the attention OF
very many agriculturists; nay, we are
informed, it has already succeeded, and
the profit which it affords is found to
be immense, when compared with the
crops upon which ,ce depend. 1t Is a
fact, that the growers of cotton and to-
bacco, in all parts Of the country, are
monied independent men. This, fel-
low citizens, might once have been said
of the then happy farmers and graziers
of our district That it is not the case
at the present time, ID a fact too obvi-
Gus to require illustration. To the in
dustry and the enterprise Of ourfarming
fellow citizens, we look for aid at this
interesting crisis of our affairs, not al
lowing ourselves todoubt that our unit
ed efforts may be crowned with sue
cess, and that the tide of prosperity
will yet again be permitted to flow in
to the lap of our once lourishing coun-
fry.

THE BEST MODE OF PRESERVING SEED
WHEAT.
Select from your field the primest
and best matured wheat, sufficient
quantity for seeding and secure it in
barn, not suffering it to get wet from
the time of its being moved. AS soon
as practicable fail it out, run it direct
ly through the fan once in order to free
it from all dirt and dust, then take
common lime sitter and free the chaff
in like manner from the dirt and dust
both being perfectly dry, stow it away
in some part of dry barn beginning
with layer of chaF, and then OF wheat
alternately, until the whole be put
away, there to remain until the time
for seeding-the strata OF wheatshould
not be more than two inches thick, that
of the chaff about four. 1t will effec-
tuaIly preserve it from heating, as we'll
as an attack of the weavel-It will also
secure it from every incipient stage OF
vegetation, until it is sown, SO ruinous
to wheat intended for seeding, and
from which cause the hopes of the in
dustrious Farmer is often sadly disap-
pointed.

The evening before one ofhis most celebra-
ted victories, Henri Quatre passed disguised
through the enemy's camp, and paid visit to
La Belle Gabrielle, whose castle lay behind
the hostile quarters. He returned without
being discovered, and was in time, the next
to strike the first blow of battle.
The following sentiments were supposed to
have been uttered by the chivalrous and poet
ical monarch at the moment of his departure,
when some of his mobiles demonstrated against
his mourning such unnecessary perils
The battle storm is sleeping
In silence on the hill,
And dews of night are sleeping
The flow'rs which blood must fill,
But in the western sky,
Thy star see,
And where it beckons, fly
From war to thee!
Cease, warriors, round me bending
In terror and in prayers
Loves care is e'er attending
The brave who seek the fair.
Though many hostile lance
The King might Stay,
Not e'en an eye should glance
The Lovers way.
Tomorrow, ere my banner
Rise cleaning in the sun,
Ere breath of war shall fan her,
Or deed of honor's done,
This sword my hand shall wave,
This voice shall call
The Brave to meet the Brave
In slaughter's hall
Tomorrow, ere at even
Yon star of beauty glows,
This heart, in battle riven,
May calm in death repose!
Then fame and empires call
And war, farewell
And dearer still than all
Fair Gabrielle

York Daily Advertiser.
THE CULTURE OF OPIUM

THE CULTURE OF OPIUM
The mode I have adopted with
much success has been to raise the
large headed poppy, (say or 9 inches
in circumference, and plant them in
rows-to make the incision with a
guaged instrument lancet, and imme-
diately absorb the juice with sponge,
which, when charged, is squeezed out
on plate to evaporate; then wash the
sponge in alcohol, to dissolve the resin
still adhering to it.

The following short summary of TO-
reign news is copied from the Evening
Post:
With regard TO Greece there is little
that is new. A letter published in a
Paris paper of the goth Oct. mentions
that the campaign was considered st an
end, by the returning of Ibrahim Pacha
to the coast, and the retreat of Reschid
from before Missolongai. There was a
report that the Alexandria feet had
beer defeated by Miaulis. These need
confirmation. The report OF Ibrahim
being killed by nephew of Hussein
Bey, il appears was fabrication.
One of the principal houses at Liegs
has received the following extract of a
letter:
"port Mahon, Oct 5. The Greeks
are triumphant; the Egyptian fleet has
retired to Alexandria. and the Turkish
fleet 10 Constantinople. The Creek
fleet have taken nearly 60 transports"
Mr.. Alexander Cockburn was appoin-
ted on the Stu ult. Minister to Columbia,
with an Income of 6eool aud other e.
mOiuments.
