WONDERFUL EFFECTS OF CULTURE.

Many plants that are highly nutrlcIous
and useful, under culture, are useless, and
even poisonous, when growing IN their
natural state. The apple is theimprovement
which culture has produced upon the wild
acerb crab. The uncultivated peach is
said to be poisonous in some parts of Asia.
Tne cabbage is believed to have sprung
from the worthless colewort. The potato
is but a small bitter root in its natural con-
dition in the wilds of Chill. Most Of the
plants which furnish food to man, are null
tipled in their products, and greatly I'M
proved in their quality, when subjected to
culture. Every year brings to our notice
some species, hitherto useless, which hu-
man industry is rendering subservlent to
our wants. Providence has bounhiully

our condition, five will but prepare them
for our use. Industry and perseverance

Postscript to an article in the So. Agriculturist
P. S. If your correspondent Calomel
allow his hogs and poultry to range under
his fruit trees, he will not longer complain
oftheir being gummy and falling from the
tree halfgrown. The hogs will devour the
fruit as it falls with the worms in it. the Pou'
try will destroy the little beetle which causes
the fruit to rot, and Calomel must, himself,
pick out the worms which he will find in
his trees near the surface Of the earth.
Ours is truly fruit country, butt is real
ly astonishing how little good fruit is TO be
seen had our climate been less tavoured,
our own exertions would have been greater.
A great change for the better has, however,
taken place within few years, and fiatter

our markets supplied with abundance of all
the finest kinds Of fruit which our bountitul
climate requires so little exertim or Skill to

AMERICAN HERolsM.-The Algemcine

gives an account Of a pleasure boat in the
river there, by which the Prlcess Adelaide
Sophia was precipitated into the wafer and
would have been drowned, if it had not been
for the heroic exertions Of Mr.. Bell, a young
American gentleman, son of DR.. Bell, of
Charleston, S. C. who happening to be near

CoAL--The apprehension ola scarcity of
this article, which prevails in so great de.
gree abroad, is probably, says the Pottsville
Miners Journal, without foundation. The
apprehension has arisen from the numerous
paragraphs in the newspapers of our large
cities, sounding the alarm, and spreading
panic throughout all classes of the commu.
nifty. To increasethis feeling, it was conf.
dently stated, that the supply was falling
short of 100000 tons. Those who knew
nothing on the subject, readily believed this
statement. At the very time this rumor
was put in circulation, the supply had in
creased, and was rapidly increasing. 1t
was generally thought, that the increase
ofthe present year would amount TO one
hundred thousand tons at least. Nothing
has subsequently occurred to weaken this
option, but much to confirm it. The whole
supply will probably amount to 100000
tons; an increase of about 10000 over
last years supply.

What beautiful lesson do these facts
teach to the young. The wild uncultered
mind, is like the wild crab, wild potato, or
colewort-a comparatively useless or nox-
ious cumbrance in society. And yet, if
brought under suitable culture, how useful
useful to its possessor, and useful, like
the plants we have spoken if, to the family
of man. The ignorant, selfish being, who
lives but for himself, may, like the freely,
emit transient light, and is forgotten. He
never realizes the sublime pleasures that
are purchased by knowledge, and efforts to
do good. While the learned industrious
man, appreciating the high duties he owes
to society, actuated by an ardent desire to
fulfil them, confers blessings on his species,
and, living or dead, is theme of gratitude
and praise.-Cultiuator.

THE NUT GRASS.

THE NUT GRASS.
Mr.. Editor,-A writer under the sigma
ture of" Blue House" "has. in your February
number, given some directions concerning
the MANAGEMENT Of nut grass, which have
pursued, and found, in part, beneficial. he
has. however, committed capital error IN
recommending large beds in the first In
stance. The reverse ofthis, is the proper
course. The beds when made small and
flat. will admit of successive haulingS, which
alone, are found to be efficient. The grass
when hoed, will in couple of days appear
again, with renovated strength. But ITS
being buried alre, is what it cannot stand.
It is a savage mode of war, whlchlt it does
not appear to recognize among the usages
of honourable war. But an enemy whom
no treaty can bind, but who is the determn-
cd foe of human intercourse, has no right to
claim the civilties of human intervention.
| would bury him, Mr.. Editor. 1t is the
only sure way of getting rid ofhim.
A friend OF mine the other day, called
nv attention to his mode of treating this
scourge, the effects Of which, were most
obvious. A piece ofground which he had
lying fallow, and which was much infested
with this grass, he had thickly blanketed
over with pine-trash. He told me ne had
tried every thing, and in all had failed to
destroy this grass; until, at LENGTH he had
nearly determined to abandon his planta-
ton. Just about this time, he heard OF the
wonderful cures made by the Seam Doc.

steaming his enemy he accordingly had

pine.trash TO the thickness of six inches

ration to flow fast enough and believe me,
Sir, when saw the portion of ground alu-
ded to, which was four months after the
the operation, did not see spear OF grass,
whilst the portion adjoining, was literally
covered with it.
Is "Blue House" in earnest, when ne ex-

grass? fhe is, tell him, my neighbors will
be at the trouble of driving their hogs TO his
