AGRICULTURAL.

CoRN.-Some of the largest crops OF corn OF
which we have any account, were raised on green
sword, and the seed was planted in drills. 1t is
some more work to cultivate corn in drills than in
hills, but the crop viii be larger, and this is an
Important advantage, where land is dear
1.-THE rows of corn run from north to south, the
land will be more exposed to the sun after the
plants are high this will of course be beneficial
to a crop that requires much heat, as is the case
with corn.
In ploughing, it is necessary that the sod be
turned completely over, and shut in close, that
the gases produced by fermentation of the vege-
table matter may not escape, but pervade the
whole mass of active soil, and enrich it.
If a part of the manure be coarse and the other
fine, the coarse should be spread on before plough
ing, and turned under, and the fine put top,
and thoroughly mixed with the soil by narrowing.
Numerous experiments show that the crop ofcorn
will generally be better If the manure be spread,
than if it be put in the hill 1t is less labor to
spread it, and better for the soil, as it will be
evenly distributed.

iDoThe following is an interesting extract from
a Discourse delivered on Fast Day at Amherst, BY
Henan Humphreys, d. D., in which he spoke of
the death of the President of the United States and
of his character:
"You have, my friends. known my manner of
life.' for many years. have never meddled with
politics, further than TO avail myself of the elective
franchise, and freely TO express my private opin-
ions. have devoted my life to other cares and du-
ties; and have endeavored, hope with some sin
cery, to serve God, and my generation in that Zine
of things, to which. if have not been mistaken he
has called me. But as patriot, lover of my
country, have never been ndiferentio the charac-

conclusion that he was a strictly honest man-that
he possessed vigorous enlightened, and indepen-
dent mlnd-that he was ardent friend 10 the
best interests of his country, and had richly earned
its gratitude and confidence, long before he was
Ghought of for the highest office in the gift of the
People. How well he understood the domestic and
foreign policy OF the nation, do not know, nor
with what impartlallty and wisdom he would have
administered the Government had his life been pro-
longed. But am quite sure he had profoundly
studied the Constitution, and with such advisers as
he had taken care TO secure, and such ability

other public stations, think the country had much
to expect from his administration He certainly
made noble beginning greatly admired his In

Among thy folds, on yonder height.
Thy Stars and Stripes! love them well,
For all the high-born truths they tell
They DER my spirit cast SPELL
That seems by angel-impuise given,-

And with thy every thought, to link

The hand to rear thee, strength to save
And made thy champions bold and brave,
To lift the Stars and Stripes on high,
And tell their freedom to the sky

Shall waken livelier gratitude
And many youthful heart shall see,
That to be great is to be good.
That noble being all must love,
Who, rising in grandeur far above,
Meanwhile was gentle as the dove
And wrapt around his towering mind,
The chords that bound him to mankind.
My CouNTRY's FLAG wave on, wave on,
Till Aristocracy shall cease,
And every eye shall greet the dawn
OfLiberty the morn of peace
Till every beng on our soil
Shall eat the free reward Of toll,
And every chain, and serpent-coll,
Before thy silken folds shall flee,
And Gods own image stand forth free.

GRAMMATICAL SMOKING.

As smoking is an innocent indulgence, and as
it is customary with all classes people to relate
the news of the day with cigars in their mouths;
and as the generality of smokers make an awk-
ward appearance, in consequence of their igno-
rance of the theory of punctuation IN smoking,
the following system is recommended
single puff, serves as comma,
Puff, puff, semcolon;
Puff, puff, puff, colon:
Six puffs, period
pause, with a cigar in the mouth, represents
a dash-longer or shorter in continuance
With the under lip raise the cigar almost
against the nose for an exclamation And to ex-
press even great emotion, even to the shedding
of tears, only raise as before, the cigar to the end
of the nose
For an interrogation it is only necessary to
open the lips and draw the cigar round the corner
of the mouth, Taking the cigar from the mouth
and shaking the ashes from the end, is a conclu-
sion of paragraph. And throwing it into the
fire is a final and stylish pause
Never begin story with half smoked cigar;
for to light another while conversng is not only
a breach of politeness, but interferes with the
| above system of punctuation, which destroys all
energy and harmony of expression.
