smile
"Since you will have il so," retorted the
phiosopher, sit contains q complete descrip-
ton OF all female arts and wles; but it would
not interest you, for dare say you could not
learn anything from it,"
"Are you certain that your book is COM

Here, the conversation commenced, the phil
osopher pocketed his book, and so far forgot
himself and his system of philosophy, that
without Fermentation he found himself on
his knees, holding the delicate hand of the
lar one between his own and who knows
what might nave been the consequence. had.
not the lady espied at distance her lord and
master
Struct with terror she exclaimed, 1--WE are
lost! Ny husband is returning home; and if
he hnds you here, he will put both of us to
death see but one chance for you, which
is by concealing yourself in this box, of which
have the key"
ltmay be supposed the philosopher did not
hesitate to avail himself of the only apparent
chance.
As the Arab entered his tent the lady met
HIM. "fou come in good time," said she :;
"lor, not long since, stranger, who called
himself philosopher, stopped a, our tent and
asked permission TO rest himself, but so far
forgot himself as to speak to me of love.n
The Arab became enraged; but who can
describe the agony of the philosopher, who
overheard every word that was spoken
"Where shall find that wretch ?" said the
frantic Arab, ioaming from his mouth, shat by
one blow may put an end to him and his
presumption"
"Ilere-in this box" replied the lady, ten
dcring him the key.
The enraged Arab tore it from her hand
but the lady in fit of laughter exclaimed,
"liave caught you at last? have you not .ak
Ell the key without pronouncing the word
Diadeste? Instantly pay me the forlet.o
For some moments the Arab stood as if
pe,rliied, then quietly returned the key to his
wife,

let me advise on, hereafter, to gain your ends
without giving me unnecessary vexalon"
Soon after, the Arab again left his tent. and
the lady opened the box, in which she found
the poor philosopher almost dead from fear
but when she pronounced the words "Y on are
saie!" he nimbly vaulted from his retreat.
"Neeply learned and wise man!'' said the
lady, "depart In peace; but do not forget TO re-
cord the occurrence of this day in your book.n

superior to all other varieties; giving more

oy . l-2 lbs. of flour; and gain of about
10 per cent. on the flour OF equal measures

oi per cent in favor of grain cut raw. In
grinding 1t was found that No. ground the
worst worse than No. l. In No were a
greater quantity of flinty particles which
would not pass the bolt, than in any of the
others. The bran from No. S was coarse and
heavy while that from No. 3, was thin as
bees wing
MIR. Hannah extended his experiments 10
some length, on the advantage of cutting wheat
two weeks before it is fully ripe,a follows
LIST, there is gain of Is per cent. of flour
upon equal measures; Cd, a gain in the weight
OF the straw OF IA per cent; Sd, gain of a.
bout p so In the value of every quarter of
wheati ana 18th, gain of about 1888 upon
every acre producing IS bushels.-These Gale
culatons were founded upon the price of
wheat i'll England at the time the experiments
were made. The -four produced from No. 3.
was OF far better quality than that produced
from the grain cut at other times.
The editor of the Cultvator, in noticing
these facts, remarks,-'In this country, the
subject OF the proper time for cutting wheat
Is deriving great Importance from the liabili.
ty OF It's being attacked by mildew or rust i;
the evil of which might in great measure be
avoided, should experience prove that raw or
even green wheat would lose less when cub
than when allowed TO stand after such attack.
AS having direct bearing on this subject, we
may mention the following A farmer friend
OF ours, growing wheat extensively, found, last
season, that one of his fields of wheat, then
IN green state, was BADLY struck with rust,
lie determined 10 cut it at once, and did SO.
amid the laugh and pity of neighbors, who
thought him little less than crazy. The adj
Joining fields suffered but little from rust, and
stood Till fully ripe, yet at threshing the wheat
first cut gave the best yield Mr.. Hannah
mentions similar instance in which it was rea
early, that lie 'had cut grasaSi ibis wheat
muck yet when threshed yielded four bush.
els per acre more than it was estimated at,
and was sold for the highest price in The mar.
ket. In this country, the same reason, arising
from bad weather late harvest does not
exist here for early cutting, as in England, but
there are Others which render the subject Of
little less interest here than there and the ag-
ricultural public of both countries are certainly
much indebted TO Mr.. Hannah, for the skill
and perseverance with which he has pursued
these investigations in all their parts.-Gyeene

translated by John Quincy Adams, with COM

OF the Bible. After reading it the in6del re.

been attributed to the ex-President, and there

facts IN the case, and also his views i'm regard
