PEAS.

When peas are sown IN antumn or early
in spring they are liable to be eaten by mice,
To prevent this, an English writer recon-
mends soaking the peas for day or two in
train oil, before YOU SOW them, which Che
says) will encourage their vegetation and
render them so obnoxious to mice that they
will not eat them. 1t is recommended i'll
all those sorts which grow high, to have only
l row in place, and then leave a bed 10 or
10 feet wide for onions carrots, or any crops
which do not grow tall. The advantages
are that the peas will not be drawn up much
will be stronger-will flower mar the
ground--and IN wet weather can be more
easily gathered without wetting yourself
s'But (says awriterin the Repertory of Arts,)
instead Of sowing peas in straight rows if
you will form the ground into circles of three
feet diameter with space of two feet be-
cween each circle, in row thirty feet long,
you will have six circles of peas, each nine
feet.-in all ffty-four feet ofpeas, instead of
thirty Cne On the same extent ct ground.
"Ifyou want mere than one row OF circles,
leave bed of 10 or IL feet before you begin
another.
''For the very tall sorts, four feet circles
will afford more room for the roots to grow in
and care must be taken, by applying some
slender twiss to prevent the circles from
joining each other"
DIR. Anderson says that lime is the best
manure for land intended to be sown with
peas.
I.oudon. in giving directions for the field
culture Of tins vegetable, says, "the quantity
of seed must be different in different cases
and circumstances. and according To the time
and manner in which the seed is put into
the ground; but in general it may be from
and half to three bushels, the earliest sow
ings have the largest proportion of seed
The most common mode of sowing peas i
broad cast; but the advantages of the ROY
culture in crop so early committed to tn,
soil must be obvious The best farmer
therefore always SOW peas either after tn
plough, the seed being deposited commonl
in every second or third furrow, or it tn
land is in pulverized state, by DRAWN
drills with machine or BY ribbing.

PRESERVATION OF SEED CORN.

A communication, IN the last New Eng
,ond E.rmer from a gentleman at Glouces-
.er gives an account Of successful expert
,nent made 10 preserve seed corn, from the
ravapes Of the wire worm and birds by soak
inc & in copperas water before planting,
which completely succeeded. He says
"The field which ! planted, the last year,
was more than half destroyed by worms and
birds. the last time it was planted about
years before, principally by the cut worms
and as many of them were discovered when
ploughing, expected nothing but should
be served the same; but much to my aston
ishment, ] had scarcely hill or even a
spire destroyed, which impute principally
to the copperas.
"The plan which pursued was as fol-
lows: / used about one and an halt pounds
of copperas in three pecks OF corn. ! made
the water warm, and soaked the corn full
as hours before planting, putting IN corn and
copperas as we Used i out.
CUTTING CIONS FOR GRATING
In cutting cions for grating, the follow
ing directions from Forsyth may prove use
ful. Select shoots of the former year; for
where they are older they never succeed
we'll. "Always take them from healthy
fruitful trees; for, if the trees from which
they are taken be sickly, the gratis very Of
ten partake so much Of the distemper as
rarely to get the better of it, at least tor
some years; and when they are taken from
youne luxuriant trees, whose vessels are
generally large, they will continue to pro-
duce luxuriant shoots, but are seldom SO
productive as those which are taken from
fruitful trees whose shoots are more compact
and the joints closer together, at least 1t wli
be great number of years before the lux
uriant gratis begin to produce fruit, even i
managed with the greatest skill. lol
should prefer those gratis which are takeT
from the lateral or horizontal branches, Z
those from the strong perpendicular shoots
for the reasons before given
"These gratis, or cons, should be cut OF
from the trees before their buds begin Il
swell, which is generally three weeks or {
month before the season for grating there
fore, when they are cut off they should b'
laid in the ground with the cut downwards
burrying them half their length, and cover
ing their tops with dry litter, to preven
their dying; if small Joint of the forme
years wood be cut off with the con, it viii
preserve it the better, and when they ar
grated, this may be cut off; for at the sam
time the cions must be cut oil to prope
length before they are inserted in the stock
but. till then, the shoots should remain c
their full length, as they were taken tror
the tree, which will better preserve ther
from shrinking: if these cions are to be ca,
ried to considerable distance, it Will b
proper to put their ends into lump of ella,
and to wrap them up in moss, which wi
preserve them fresh for month, or longe
but these should be cut off from the tree
earlier than those which are to be giraffe
near the,place where the trees are growing,

THEINTEMPERATE HUSBAND.

From Mr. Sprague's Address before the Massachu-

 The common calamities oflife may be en- dured.-Poverty, sickness, and even death may he met-but there is that which. while it brings all these with it, is worse than all these together. When the husband and father for gets the duties he once delighted to fulfil, and Hv slow degrees becomes the creature of in- temnerance. there enters into his house the sorrow that rends the spirit-that cannot be alleviated; that will nor be comforted.
 Ii is here. above all, where she. who has ventured every thing, feels that every thing is lost.s Woman, suffering woman, here bends to her direst affiictiOn.

 4 herOine-The tailor in COurtland, Alaba- ma, heinz absent, the prisoners were left in charge of young man, who, on entering one of the cells to give two conyicts their supper, was knocked down with an iron bar and left senseless. One of the convicts was about de- camping, but the wife of the jailor coming just then in the way, seized him by the coat, and held him with such strong hand as to make his escape very dubious, until he at last slipped his garment and went of. The other next made his appearance, but the Amazon grapped with him so earnestly, that it was utterly impossible for him to get clear. He dragged her as far as the street, but he could not compel her to release her grasp, and as she was now reinforced. he was remanded to his dungeon. AS he was under sentence of death, his struggle must have been powerful, and it is therefore yet more wonderful that she succeeded in retaining him.

 THE BRIDES FAREWELL,

Farewell mother !--tears are streaming, Down thy tender, pallid cheek; l, in gems and roses geaming, On eternal sunshine dreaming,
 Scarce this sad farewell may speak; Farewell mother now I leave thee,
 And thy love-nnspea akabie- One to cherish-who may grieve me; One to trust--who may deceive me;
 Farewell mother flare thee well! Farewell father i-thou art smiling,
 Yet there's sadness on thy brow Mingled joy and languor-wiling All my heart, from that beguiing
 Tenderness, to which go.- Farewell father .--thou didst bless me,
 Ere my lips thy name could tell; He may wound, who should caress me, Who should solace-may oppress me; Father! guardian flare thee well! Farewell sister i-thou art twining @ Round me, in affection deep, Gazing on my garb SO shining, Wishing "joy''-but ne'er divining
 Why blessed bride should weep. Farewell sister !-have we ever
 Sufer'd wrath our breasts to swell Fer gave looks or acords that sever Those that should be parted never!
 Sister-dearest !-fare thee well! Farewell brother !-th0u art brushing
 Gently offthese tears of mine, And the grief that fresh was gushing, Thy most holy kiss is hushing,
 Can e'er meet love like thinel | Farewell brave and gentle brother,

SEASONS OF PRAYER.

To prayer, to prayer-for the morning breaks, And earth in her Makers smile awakes: His light is on all below and above The light of gladness and life and love. On, then, on the breath of this early air, Send upward the incense of grateful prayer. To prayer-for the glorious sun is gone, And the gathering darkness of night comes on; Like curtain from Gods kind hand 1t flows, To shade the couch where his children repose. Then kneel while the watching stars are bright, And give your last thoughts to the Guardian ol
 night. v To prayer-for the day that God has blest, Comes tranquiiy on with its welcome rest: 1t speaks ofcreation's early bloom 1t speaks of the Prince who burst the tomb. Then summons the spirits exalted powers, And devote to Heaven the hailow'd hours. There are smiles and tears in the mothers eyes, For her new born infant beside her lies. Oh, hour of bssl when the heart o'erfows With rapture mother only knows: Let 1t gnsh forth in words of fervent prayer Let it swell to Heaven for her precious care. There are smiles and tears in that gathering band Where the heart IS pledged with the trembling
 hand.
 What trying thoughts in her bosom swell, As the bride bids parent and home farewell! kneel down by the side of the fearful fair, And strengthen the perilous hour with prayer. Kneel down by the dying sinners side, And pray for his soul thro him who died. Large drops of anguish are thick on his brow: Oh what is earth and its pleasures now! And what shall assuage his dark despair, But the penitent cry of humble prayer? Kneel down at the couch of departing faith, And hear the last words the believer saith. He has bidden adieu to his early friends There is peace in his eye that upward bends; There is peace in his calm cOn6diBg air For his last thoughts Gods, his last words prayer The voice of prayer at the sable bier! A voice to sustain, to sooth, and to cheer. It comments the spirit to God who gave; 1t lifts the thoughts from the cold dark grave; It points to the glory where he shall reign, Who whsper'd "thy brother shall rise again. The voice of prayer in the world of bliss! But gadder, purer, than rose from this. The ransom'd shout to their glorious King, Where no sorrow shades the soul as they sing; But sinless and joyous song they raise, And the voice of prayer is eternal praise. Awake, awake, and gird up thy strength To join that holy band at length. To him who unceasing love displays, Whom the powers of nature increasingly praise To him thy heart and thy hours be given, For life of prayer is the life of heaven.
