A number of years afterwards, as a travel
Ter from one Of the New England States,
was riding in company with a native son of
the forest, he at little distance observed a
small spot of ground enclosed with logs. In
quiring of the Indian its design, he related to
him the incidents on which the foregoing
sketch is founded. With feelings deeply
touched and interested at the idea that a
young and beautiful girl was reposing alone
in the wilderness, far from kindred and
friends, he drew near the enclosure. A wild
rose tree, together with the sensitive plant had
taken root on her grave, and were growing
in rich neutrality-suspicious. emblems OF

Parting Interview with Enamet.

The reader probably knows that Mr.. Emmel
was celebrated lawyer and statesman in lre-
land, and that he was unfortunately betrayed
by his enemies, In an attempt 10 emancipate his
counlrymen from tyranny and oppression. He
was therefore convicted of the crime of treason,
and sentenced 10 be executed. His speech
before his judges and accusers is considered
most pointed and eloquent.
The evening before his death. while The
workmen were busy with the scaffold, young
lady was ushered inlo The dungeon. II was the
girl whom lie so londly loved, and who had now
come 10 bid him her eternal farewell He was
leaning, in melancholy mood, against he
window frame Of his prison, and the heavy
clanking of his chains smote dlsmalIy on her
heart The interview was bitterly affecting
and melted even the cailous soul of the gaoer.
As for Emmet himself, he wepi and spoke little,
but as he pressed his beloved in silence TO his
bosom, his c0unlenance betrayed his emotions.
In a low voice, half choaked by anguish, he
besoughl her moi 10 forget him; he reminded
her of their former happiness OF the long past
DAYS of their childhood, and concluded by re-
ouesting her sometimes 10 visit The scenes
where their infancy was spent, and though the
world might repeat his name with scorn, TO
cling to his memory with affection. Al this
very instant, the evening bell pealed from The
neighbourng church. Emmett started at the
sound and as he felt that this was the last
Time he should ever hear lis dismal echoes, ne
folded his beloved still closer to his heart, and
ben, over her sinking form with eyes streaming
with affection. The turnkey entered al the
moment; ashamed Of his weakness, he dashed
the rising drop from his eye, and ftown again
lowered on his countenance. The man mean
while approached 10 tear the lady from his en-
braces Overpowered by his feelings, he could
make no resistance; but as he gloomlly releas-
ed her from his hold, gave her little mina-
ture of himself, and with this parting token OF
attachment, imprinted the las, kisses of dying
man upon her lips. On gaining The door, she
turned round as if TO gaze once more on the
object of her widowed love. He caught her
eye as she retired, it was but for a moment;
the dungeon door swung back again upon lis
hinges, and as il closed after her informed him
TOO surely, tha, they had met for the last time
upon earth.

sewing plaster.

Let all your clover fields be plasicred,

TO start, taking care to sow the plaster IN The
morning while the dew is on the leaves, or
during the time of gentle rain.
SPRING WHEAT.
Again protesting against being The advocate
of this variety Of wheai, we feel II onr dGy 6"
state to those who may design to ST" IL, that
the sooner ii is got in The better.
Should the winter sown wheat be much k'i!-
ed on, by frosls and thaws, The crop might be
grearely increased, if spring wheal were s""n

wheat, aud would eBchance The yield. Should
any one contemplate such sowing, our advice
is, that they do so as early as possible.
SPRING RYE.
This grain cannot be got in TOO soon. In
the preparation Of the ground, care mast be Ia
ken 10 plough deep and pulverize well. A ,o
the quantity of grain 10 be sown and the mode
of sowing, our directions will be brief. Let The
quantity of seed, and The method Of sowing. be
the Same as for winter rye, and as by sowing
bushel of plaster to the acre, you may enconr-
age The growth Of white clover. our advice $,
that you try the experiment Ii you succeed,
you will thereby secure good pasture in late
summer for your stock, provided you keep them
off the subble and give the clover chance Of
growing.
CORN-PREPARATIGN OF THE SEED.
Soak your seed in solution Of salt, salt
petre, SCOT and copperas, made as follows
To every 10 gallons of boiling water, add 2
lbs. saltpeire, lbs of SCOT, and 2 lbs. OF cop
peras stir these until the salts are dissolved,
then put in your corn, regulating the quantity
so that all the grains will be covered. As you
plant, take out The corn, and drain ii in a bas-
ket; then prepare a mixture of tar and water,
which must be made thus-to five gallons of
boiling water, add pint of tar stir the whole
well together, and when cool, put your corn
into it, and stir it until all The grains are cover
ed. then drain, and dry them in plaster or ashes,
when they will be ready for planting. The
corn should remain in the first soak IL hours
before any of il is planted, and no more should
he taken out any day than can be planted The
tarring and plas,ering should be done just be-
fore the grain is wanted for planting. No fears
need be entertained Of the first soak destroying
The vegeiatiye powers of the corn, for a week
or so. Seed corn, thus prepared, will be pro-
tected from birds and vermin, while its vegeta-
ling powers will be greatly accelerated.
PLASTERING AND ASKING.
In order to ensure rapid growth TO the
young plants, prepare a compost OF ashes and
plaster, in the proportion of bushels OF the
former 10 of the latter, and give TO each hill
of corn, Just as The plant comes up, gill oil The
mixture. It's increase Of yield will pay you
literally for your trouble and expense. And If.
in addition 10 this. YOU were TO sow bushel
of plaster per acre broadcast over your fields,
you would be most beautifully rewarded for the
labor and cost.

Watery Potatoes.

Waiery potatoes or those IN which carbon
does not abound, are generally, indeed always.
deficient in their nuui,ive qualities which de-
pend on the presence OF carbon The latter
canno, exist in its jus, proportion independent
Iy of proper light and heat. Hence potatoes
grown in an orchard are never good; the hight
and oxygen which should act upon them is IN
tercepted by the leaves of the various fruit
trees The delelerious portion of the carbon
which the light and oxygen would have carried
off, and it becomes not only deficient IN nuirl-

MEDYEATIONS
On Mr. Miller's End of the World.

Let Mr.. Miller lecture, preach and pray,
How in Eighteen hundred and forty three
The earth shall be destroyed without delay -
Well-then we'll see.-
For my part Miller cannot frighten me.
By preaching of millennium and fire;
Can l believe him !--no, not I-you see.
He's such liar.
Talk not to me of all such flimsy stuff,
Winston and Stiefe preach'd such things before,
Well now such preaching is but empty puff,
And nothing more
| wonder if he made calculoti ons---
With scale, dividers. and theodoite
If so, he must have tak'n many stations,
To have il ght.
Then see what calculations Stiefel made
In fifteen hundred and thirty three
He said, all things through flames of fire shall wade
But where are we!
Why on the earth, Of course, and still we live
And Mier---he must prophesy anew
To all mankind Certain he must believe
The Bibles true.
Now, once for instance let Us reason Free.
And to the bible let US now refer;
It's pages carefully peruse--and see
If he does err.
In thirteenth chapter Of St. Mark we read,
Where Christ himself most solemnly proclaims,
That none shall know the hour when God will speed
His dreadful flames
If we admit this volume to be true,
And take it for our guide whilst here below;
Then Miller must receive that homage due
From friend and foe
To me his preach is all bagatille--
On his bareback he now deserves the rod
For making fools of many-very well,
He's not my God
Why should God reveal to him secret things,
More than he should to angels, or his Son?-
If this be true, no truth the Bible brings
To any one.
