 Edward and Lauretta occupy the neat cottage in the valley between the two es- tates and afford perfect commentary on the happiness ofthe married life when it is founded on mutual love, and surrounded by the thousand charms of virtue. often think of them, and the simple history of their courtship, when reading the accounts ofbreaches of marriage contracts, so fre- quent in our days. Theirs was the mutual pledge of hearts, unspoken, unexpressed; the only contract whichis never broken the only one in these matters which is worth the name.

From Village Tales, 6y Stacy c. POtts, Esq. THE MOSS ROSE.

FLOWERS, emblems of youth, and beau .ty, and innocence, and no less the frail psrstfi7sssn sreeRy ref Ry@an life, each in the com same have ever mingled wifR tiletf ffs4aEsy. .ne affection, and shed their own sweet influ- ence over the dream of romance, and the rustic tale of village courtship. How often has simple flower been the medium of in- tercourse between diffident lover and his mstress-and told to her musing spirit tie secret of his heart. How often when kind- red spirits have been doomed to separate, has blushing flower remained the silent witness of unspoken VOWS. How many promises have lived on to their consumma- tion, in the memory of flowers.
 " Mama, ''said Lauretta one morning to Mrs. La Branch, "I have a pretty Moss Rose for our rfower garden shall ! plant 1t in the border by the summer house 2''-- |" Certainly if you please," said the good lady, "but where did you get such treas are, Lauretta The sweet girl put on a deep blush she had never dreamed of such question, and was not prepared to answer it; with the dexterous ingenuity so peculiar to her sex, however, she extrica- ted herself at single thought-"a a friend, Ma, friend gave it to n,e as a keep sake.' Old Mir. La Branch, who was reading the morning news over his coffee, lifted up his eyes at the moment-" has Edward gone then 2" said he, with quizzing smile, and without waiting an answer slipped his cof- fee, and went on with the paper; and Lau- retta escaped from the breakfast table, as mcos. nu fF.nnal
 The flower was planted in the sunniest spot, and Lauretta watered it with SO much care, and nursed it so anentively that it took deep root and bore full crop ofroses. They were her companions; she used to sit for hours in her favorite bower, and gaze upon them, and recall all the tender recol- Iections they brought to mind and when the long summer months had faded away i; and autumn came in her garb of pensive sadness to wiiher the leaves and flowers, she redoubled her diligence to preserve them from the fate of their mates of the gar- den and to screen them from the unpro- pitious season, she conveyed the roseIbnsh to her own neat parlOur, and still made il her hourly companion. ~ ss
 Edward Martin and sLauretta were old acquaintances. He had gone on business Ito Liverpool. Before he sailed he had brought her the Moss Rose and Ire inten- ded Io say he brought 1t as pledge of- I friendship-he did not hope to be able to say more. He saw Lanrelta; sat the flow CT down by her side bat his courage eyap- orated; his feelings overpowered him, and he could not utter word about it.
 Fuaa | i as -h. Edward was expected fo retarn, when ear- Iy one morning, che door opened and Mr. La Branch came in from his morning walk, with Edward, whom hs had met rambling in the direction of the mansion; and who had reached home the evening before. The family pressed round their friend i and Lauretta's eyes spaFkled, and they both IbIusIled when lhey shook hands; there

Posts for Fences.--A correspondent of the N. E. Farmer has found by a number of experiments. that posts for fences cut from full grown trees, will not decay so soon as those cut from young trees and that posts taken from the butt cut of a tree will not last more than half as long as those made from the third and fourth cuts from the ground. He says posts made from the butts of young chesnuts generally last only eight or ten years, while those from the third cut of old trees generally last over 20 years. When the butts are used, the top should be set in the ground.

ROLLING OF SEEDS.
 In all the system of Farming and Car dening there is not more useful tool than the Roller. Most of the complaints we re- ceive of seeds not growing, is owing to
Litchfield enquirer., 1831-05-19

their not being rolled. Celery, spinage, onion, and indeed almost every kind of seeds, will not vegeiAte, except the ground is rolled after the seed is'sOwn, or except a heavy rain falls, to beat the ground, which answers the same purpose. Where there is no Roller on the premises, the fol- lowing may answer as substitute.
 After the seed is sown, and the ground well raked, take board tor boards,) of the whole length of the bed-lay them flat on the ground, beginning at one edge of the bed-walk the whole length of the board-tlis will pressthe soil on the seed, then shift the board till you have thus gone Fover the whole bed: and in dry weather, cover your seed beds for AS hours, with boards laid flat on the soil, and the seeds will come up almost immediately. If no boards are at band, tread in the seed with your feet, or strike aon the beds with the blade ofyour spade or shovel.-- 1horbirR. Grafting.-When trees begin to show their fruit, (no matter what kind, J and it is made evident that grating must be resort ed to, or we must patiently put up with an inferior kind, instead of cutting off the top, uncover the roots. and choosing the most thrifty one, make slit in the bark, cut your scionoff with slope, and thrust it in and cover the roots with earth. It will take well, and grow some the first year, much more the next, and the third year, the old stock may be cut away, and the growth from that time will be very rapid, and soon form good bearing tree.

"At the bank Of England" says a

account Of the Landgrave Of Hesse,

TO prevent Wcevil in Wheat, is said to
be practised by Col. Drake, n resident
OF Warren county, D. with entire sue

"in stacking isWheat, he sprinklcs
a small quantity Of salt over each layer
OF sheaves. Four or five quarts to the
hundred dozen. he has found quite
sufficient. Of security thus afforded,
he says he is altogether convinced,
from an experiment made last year.
Having omitted to salt q small part
Of Wheat, he found il on examination,
very much eaten, while the portion
salted remained entirely undisiurbed.

advantage which this method Of preser-
wing Wheat from the Weevil possesses,
IS, that the straw becomes almost
equal to the best timothy hay. and
cattle will eat il in preference.
