were coverd with coat of stable manure
in February and spaded up.
Fromthe result, thus far, of this expert
ment, We feel warranted in advising Il
trial of lucerne by planters who have
sandy soil which they can manure. The
early part of September is considerd the
bes. time for planting, and next to that,
the month of February. If the season
had been dry one our planting in May,
last year, would probably have proved
failure. Several punches died during
short continuance of dry nweaiher i
some part of the season, perhaps in
August. This, however, may have been
caused by the quantity of leaves still un-
rotted in the soil.
Lucerne is used chiefly, if moi altogether
for hay or soling, that is, cutting to iced
in green state. Delicate lambs, pigs and
calves nigh. be suffered to run upon it fur
short time though not without injury to
the succeeding crop Of hay. The roots

and leaves for 8 10 TO years; some ac-
counts say, much longer. Though vaIu-
able, it cannot be used in rotation Of
crops for the improvement of lard. But
to counterbalance this disadvantage. il
requires neither replauting nor cultivation
for long series of years after it has once
taken good root. 1t must. however, BE-
manured occasionally, as the growth be-
gins to fail. .Fss
Rabbits are very fond of it and iniure
it in early spring by cropping it down.

LUCERNE.

We have a small square of this grass
growing in our garden, from the appear
ance of which we are inclind 70 think favor
ably of il as grass for soiling or hay in
our climate. The soil is sandy with sand
foundation. Ii was badly prepared. being
but thinly manured, and having had coat
several inches deep of unrotted oak leaves
turned in n few weeks before the time Of
planting. But being the only vacant spot
in thegarden at the time, we concluded to
try it. After spading up the ground to the
depth of twelve inches, the seeI was drill
ed, early in May, and came up well; but
at least half the plants, perhaps two thirds,
were destroyed a few days after they aP-
peart above ground, by very small black
fly: Those which were left grew we'll,
but having on hand at the time press OF
other business which more urgently deman-
ded our attention, they were not worked
till some time in June, when it was almost
concealed by thick crop of crab grass
The growth was somewhat checked ;by
the disturbance Of the roots in pulling
and cutting up this. 1t was hoed once more
during The season, but no, till another
heavy crop of crab grass had attained
such growth as 10 iequire the hand for
pulling, rather than hoe for cutting it up.
The lucerne with all these disadvantages
grew to an average height Of from 10 10
Is inches. Or rather this was the length
orlhe spears, which inclined to grow lat
lerally, and were bent towards the ground
by the weight of their leaves. Some bun.
ches bore seed, and the whole would very
we'll have borne cutting in the fall. They
continued green till severe frost; and young
leaves began 10 spring up from the roots
again late in January. From that time
they have continued to grow, slowl y in
cold weather, and more rapidly when the
weather was warm. The severe frost in
February killed some of the leaves, but
none of the spears. A week ago, when
the peach trees had blossomed, but had
put forth no leaves, The lucerne was from
8 to IA inches high. Many Of the spears
are now II inches long, and the whole
presents the most luxuriant and beautiful
growth Of deep geen and tender vegetation
which we have ever seen in March,
The only defect is that the stand is too
thin. If the stand were stod il would now
afford as heavy crop& hay as clover al:

Dear Brother Wyckof-In compliance
with your request, | write a line in great
haste to say, that three or four brethren
from New York and Boston met with the
Southern brethren on Saturday evening"
and agreed to an outline Of preamble and
resolutions, touching the Ueued question:,
A committee of seven was appointed to-
draft them, and at o'clock this morning
they met the conference, presented Their
report, which was accepted, and at 10 A..
M, all the Southern brethren assembled
at the Sharp street meeting house, 10.
which they had been cordially inyited;s
the resolution of the Church refusing the
use of their house having been previously
rescinded. - Z
Having been made Chairman Of the
subcommittee to draft resolutions, &css
some six hours extra fatigue have been
encountered; but they have been hours
of pleasure rather than labor, for the
brethren have manifested throughout a.
most lovely Christian spirit. They have
expressed their satisfaction with thepapers
alluded to, which is based upon the prin-.
ciples of the Baptists, viz: the indepen.
dence of the Churches-no Church hay,i
ing right to censure or exclude any but
its own members; Jesus Christ the one
Lawgiver of the Church; no test of fel-,
lowsRip to be admitted but those He has
established, &c.-The document is in the
hands of DR.. Johnson, and as soon as the
signatures of the brethren are appended,
will procure for you copy.
AS far as our Southern friends are con-
cerned, consider the question settled
The Lord has been better to us than our
fears; and we shall enter Tomorrow upon
the anniversary of the American and For-s
eign Bible Society; and in succession, Of
the Home and Foreign Missions, during
the remainder of the week, with the most
cheering anticipations Of harmonious feel
ing and action.

AGRICULTURAL,

Mr.. Edltor-lf many patrons to your
very useful print would throw in occa-
sionally an item of experiment in Agrlcu-
ture, the whole would be common stock
for mutual advantage. As an example OF
this on my part, I will here give the out
lines of a plan by which secure the
growth and stand of clover crop, and
at the same time greatly benefit the crop
of small grain with which the clover is
sown or grown. 1t is by covering the
ground after sowing with coating of
pine straw. (Or any other straw or
trash will do.) Wheat may be covered
in the fall or winter-say an inch thick
less or more, and the clover seed-Gn
hull or clean seed) sowed thereon in the
spring, and the first rain will wash it down
so as 10 come up well, and to afterwards
Withstand the effects Of dry weather and
the hot sun. have succeeded beyond
expectation by various trials, as that of
sowing clover seed early in the fall, on
ground fresh after sowing wheat, and
then covering, or in the spring with small
grain, as oats or spring wheat, and then
covering; or as before stated, took my
time in the winter to cover, and sowed
the clover in the spring, and in places
left uncovered for counter experiment,
there was partial failure, or where in
ferior both as to small grain and clover.
find my plan a complete preventive of
failures of clover crop in our sandy soil,
but doutless good on any ground; and
will well pay the cost of covering in fu-
ture crop, by vegetable matter decom-
posed.-But a good clover crop on any
land properly managed, secures its fer
tility at once.
l cannot forbear here to give an ex-
pertinent I made the past summer and
faIl-having made double crops on the
same ground, as that of pumpkins and
Irish potatoes; and also that of Buck
wheat and Rye sowed together. / sowed
on the 5th of August last buckwheat and
rye, and then clover, for treble crop
with one trouble and then covered most
of the ground thus sown, with pine straw,
and some places with green pine boughs.
I cut on the 5th of October, fine crop
of buckwheat, and the rye and clover
now look quite promising, particularly on
that covered as above stated. l had the
curiosity to measure the buckwheat on a
quarter of an acre, and the yield was five
and a half bushels, or at the rate of twen-
,y-two bushels per acre. What the yield
of the rye and clover may be next season
remains to be seen. In haste, yours and
the public's respectfully. y

THE TWO WHITE ROSES.
A touching little story of French Girl.


The following singular case was brought
last spring, before the justice of the peace
of the four dictricts in Paris. The object
Of dispute was two white roses, whose
withered leaves had long since been dis.
persed to the winds.
Madame Galen, (mantua- -maker)- III de-
mand thirty francs (six dolars) damage.
from Miss Flora MinuilIe, for having caus-
ed me- to lose an order worth one hundred
and fifty francs.
Judge.-ExpIain the facts.
Madame.-Yes sir About two months
ago, Miss Leonline de Crilon. was to be
married to the Prince of Clernont Ton
nerre; the marriage gifts were to be mag
nifcent. received an order to make
dress for the bride; it was 10 be chef
d-Gupre. Splendid lace, pearls, gimp
all the maryels Of the art Of dress making,
were to be united. But something more
rare at that time was wanting; it was a
natural white rose-a rose at the end Of
February!
Judge..-And Miss Flora engaged to
procure one for you?
Madame.-Yes sir; she cullivates flow
ers, and often sells them to the great
milliners of the capital. went TO her,
and she promised to let me have one of
the two roses she then possessed, for twen-
ty-fve francs, which sum was to be paid
on delivery. Idepended on her promise,
but she did not keep il faithfully; for did
not receive the rose, and for that reason
they refused to take the wedding dress.
Judge.-(To Miss FIvra)-Why did you
not deliver the rose!
Miss Flora.-(Wilh limidity. Ut was
no, my fault. The evening before the day
on which had promised the white rose
10 Madame Gallien, shower which took
place during my absence, made the flow
er expand, and some hours afterwards
nothing remained Of it but the stem.-
What | tell you is the truth.
JUDGE believe you, young GIRL
But the second rose, could you not have
delivered that!
Miss FIora.-(With tears in her eyes
Oh! as to that one, it was not promised.
Madame GaIlier would certainly have ac-
cepted it, for it was the more beautiful OF
the two. But | could not give it. 1t was
destined to my mother.
Judge.-Was i, her birthday!
Miss Flura.-{Sorrowiully.)-No, SIR
it was the anniversary of her DEATH
profound sensation in the auditory. J.
Every year lay on her tomb one of
those white roses which she so muclrloved.
This wear did the same. l said to my
self, the bride will be as handsome with a
flower less, and my poor mother shall again
to-day have her favorile rose.
Here Miss Flora shed abundant tears,
and Madame Gallien, endeavorlng to con-
sole her, said TO the Judge-"Stop the
cause, sir, it is wrong fo' me to molesl
this poor girl for good action; let us say
no more about it, il is misfortune that
cannot be helped. All / wish for compen'
salion, is TO have daughter like Miss
Flora"
The justice ofthe peace, much affected.
sent away the parties without any further
trial.
