SEED CORN.

Mn. HoLMEs-Much is said and written oflate
on the choice of seed corn---some preferring
eight, some ten, and twelve rowed---some a large
and some a small cob. When ! select nv seed
corn, l attend but little TO the number of rows,
or the size Of the cob, but to what the cob con-
tains.
When we peel the trees of the forest where
the bark is the principal object, we choose the
largest trees because the bark is the thickest,
the trees the longest, and still if small trees
have as thick a bark as large ones, it IS evident
that we obtain more bark in proportion TO the
bulk Of timber, than VIC should from large trees.
So with corn-the bark or coating being the
sole object, it behooves us TO obtain those ears
that arc best coated, When ! select mr. seed
corn, whether taken from the field or The heap,
take the largest, ripest, and best filled to ap-
.pearance-but when | come to Smelling, which
| always do by hand, it is subject to a more mi
mute selection. When | have shelled about
one-fourth part from the top end Of the ear,
which part | always exclude from my seed, |
can Judge whether it is we'll coated or not, or
whether the kernels are deep and Of good
length and weIl set, and if | find the coating
thin or shallow, | at once exclude Il without any
regard 10 the number Of rows or size Of the cob

A Passage ia the Life Of Aaron BRIT.

Towards the close of a lovely day in Angus;
in the year III, an individual dressed in the
uniform of a continental officer, was seen slowly
vending his way towards a grove of trees, near
the village of Il in New Jersey. His dress
bespoke him an officer of rank, although his years
must have been few, as he could scarcely have
reached his twentieth year. He was rather un-
der the middle size, viii a form Of ~faultless
symmetry, and every movement was made with
grace. His features were small and regular,
and but for his eye, perhaps nothing remarkable
would have been observed about him.. That tea.
ture, however, was of such a peculiar character,
as could not fail of attracting attention. Ii was
small, and Of a dark hazel, but with an expression
that cannot be described---keen aud piercing.
yet soft as a gaZelle's, now lighted up with the
fire of animation, now sofyened with the remem-
brance Of some fine feelings. His eyes were in
deed his characteristic features, and, in after
years, betrayed their prisoner, when so disguised
outwaIdly that human eye could not penetrate
his ~incognito.
In the above very brief description, any person
familiar with the history of our country during
the times that tried mems souls, may chance 70
recognize one, who, in after years, rose 10 the
proudest eminence, only to fall in the lowest
depths of political turpitude--one who might
have added laurels TO the annals Of his country's
fame-ono who might have been honored, belo
we'd, trusted--one who might have gone TO his
long home, carrying with him the tears and sym
pathies OF a mourning nation-one who, witt
genius, talents, and education, fitted TO adorn any
sphere in life, prostItuted all 10 the overwhelming
passion of ambition.
The subject Of the sketch, Col. Burr, hat

trees, free from underbrush or shrubs. He pau

CLOSE OF Day IN THE EAsr.-It has often
been remarked, that in Southern latitudos, the
~twilights are of short duration; but no where
have | seen this phenomenon SO remarkable
as at Bassora and Bagdad. In India, where the
sun rises or sets, clouds are now and then per-
ceptibie. This is never the case at Bassora.
Daylight diminishes, while The sun still remains
above tho horizon: tho orb is entirely visible, but

Night, OH, the Night for HEc

BY J. S. DU SOLE.
l love not the care-footed hours
OF day, though they beautiful be;
For night, with its d~ew-drinking flowers,
Is ~loyelier far to me.
The earth then is hushedi in its gladness,
And mirth, Ikea wild bird, goes free;
1t hath no roomin it for sadness
So night, oh, henight for me!
The sunlight hath too much Of brightness;
Its shadows too deeply are thrown;
Damp'ning the hearts timid Iightness,
And dimming its musical tone.
The day is for toll and for treason,
For wickednoss wide as the sea;
But night is loves own gifted season,
So night, oh, the night for me!

And who can dare

To lift theinsect trump of earthly hope,
Or love, or sorrow-'mid the peal sublime
or the tremendous hymn? Even Ocean shrinks
Back from thy Brotherhood, and his wild waves
Retire abashcd. For he doth sometimes seem
To sleep like a spent laborer, and recall
His wearied pillows from their vexing play,
And lull them to a cradle calm but thou,
With everlasting, undecaying tide,
Dost rest not night or day.

Fifty years ! how short a time 10 look UPON
how long it seems 10 look ahead. Half a centu-
ry has elapsed, and who can look upon the won
drous changes effected in men and things in that
time. 1t is not my purpose TO d;gress into
course Of reflections upon this point, and | will,
at once, revert TO the personages who were
brought 10 the readers notice in the preceding
chapter. Who is there, would recognize the
gay, gallant Lothario now, in the white haired,
trembling, toolhless old man, who moves about
with the uncertain step of old age and debility?
Who would imagine, that the palzied arm, scarce
able TO perform the necessary duties Of life, had
ever clasped the delicate waist of some fond, de-
voted, youthful beauty? Who could conceive,
that his shrivelled lips had ever been pressed, in
ardent fondness, to those of some blushing, glow
ing belle, who had felt but too proud in the ad-
miration of their owner. One feature alone, re-
mains unchanged in him, who was once the
young, gay, gallant, inVincible Col. Burr, the
eye, that beaming orb, with its keen, cold, snake
like expression was there still, and few there
were, who, even then, could withstand its fixed
and steady gaze. Old age had enfeebled the bo-
dy--nad wrinkled and furrowed the once noble
face and brow--but the eve remained unchan,
ged, and it could beam with winning ~softness, OF
flash with indignant passion, as in days of yore,

gives these these particulars Of the Neap0litan
royal family, with which that of France is about
10 be allied by the marriage Of the Due d'Aumale,
fourth son Of Louis Philippe, to the princess Of
SaIcrmo.
"One evening, when the queen, Marin Chris
tiana, Of virtuous memory, was about TO sit down
at the card table, her husband, King Ferdinand.
by way Of Joke, drew back her chair at the mo-
ment she was sitting down. and she fell to the
floor in a position so very indicate as to bring
bushes 10 the cheeks of all in attendance. On
rising, the queen, outraged in her modcsty, said
TO her royal husband, with justifilble indignation,
Il thought / had married a king, but perceive

words were hardly uttered before a violent box
on the ear from her royal consort folIowod.-

this brutality, and from the effects of the fall
she had scarcely given birth 10 a child before hen

which the young Princess Caroline, of Salermo

The morning stars,


When first they sang DER young c%reation's birth,
Heard thy deep anthem-and those w%reckinS fires
That wait the Arcbangels signal to dissolve
The solid earth, shall find Jehovah's name
Craven, as with a thousand diamond spears,
On thine unfathomed page. Each leafy Dough
That lifts itself within thy proud domain,
Doth gather greenness from thy living spray,
And tremble at the baptism. Lo! yon birds
Do venture boldly near, bathing their wing
Amid the foam and mist. IT'S meet for them
To usuch thy garments hem, or lightly stir
The snowy leaflets of thy vapor wreath
Who sport unframed upon the feecy cloud,
And listen at the echoing gates ofheaven,
Without reproof. But as for us-it seems
Scarce lawful with our broken tones to speak
Familiarly of thee. Methinks, to tint
Thy glorious features with our pencils paint,
Or WOO thee to the tablet of a song,
Were PROCLAMATION.
Thou dost make the soul
A wondering witness of thy majesty;
And while it rushes with delirious joy
To tread thy vestibuIe, dost chain its step,
And check its rapture, with the humbling view
OF its nothingness bidding it stand
In the dread presence of the Invisible,
Ash; to answer to its God through thee.

How little reflection is expended upon, yet
how much is called for, by the lowest hilock
that is piled over the icy boson,--by the grassi-
est hollow that has sunk with the Wondering
bones of fellow creature! And in this narrow
haven rots the bark that has ploughed the sur
ges of the great vital ocean! In this little den
that the th.stles can overshadow in a days
growth, the mole undermine in an hours labor,
is crushed the spirit that could enthral the world
and dare even a contest with destiny How
little it speaks for the value of the existence
which man endures so many evils to proong :;
how much it reduces the significance of both
the pomp and the Indebtedness Of bcing-re.
dncng Ill the vicissitudes into the lndistnguish-
able identity which infinite distance gives to
the stars-a point without parallel, speck, an
atom! Such is life-the grasp Of a child that
inha'es the air of existence but once. But the
destiny that comes behind DISSOLUTION 1t is
not enough that we moraze upon the equality
OF the sepulchre /; that the rich man, whose soul
is in the ostentaton of marble palace, and his
heart in the splendor oil feast, should consider
how small pit must content him ; or that the
proud. who boast of their "pre .emnence above
the beasts" should know that the shaggy car,
cass and the lawn.shrouded corpse must fa,ten
the earth together. We should teach our van.
'y the lesson of humiliation that is afforded by
the grave neglectlng the mighty mansoleunls
Of those marvellous spirits which fame has rem.
dered immortal, we should turn to the name
less tombs Of the millions, and in their deserted
obscurty discover the feeble hold which VIZ
ourselves must have upon earth and tie memo
ny ofmen. Friendship forgc's what'he devour
ing earth has claimed; every enmty ceases a
last to remember the resting place Of foe
Love ourselves as we may, devote our affection
to others as we can, yet must our memory per

CHRISTIANITY.

Christianity, like child goes wandering over
the world. Fearless in its innocence, it is not
abashed before princes, nor COMPOUNDED by the
wisdom OF synols. Before it the blood,stained
warrior shealhs his sword and plucks the laurel
from his brow the midnight murderer turns
from his purpose; and like the hcart.smiten
disciple, goes out and weels bitterly. 1t brings
liberty TO the captive, joy TO the mourner, free,
dom to the slave, repentance aud forgiveness TO
the sinner, hope to the faint hearted, and assn.
rance TO the diving. IT euiers the hut Of the
poor, and sits down with them con,ented in the
midst Of privations, and leaves behind everlast
ting bliss. 1t walks through great cities amid
all their pomp and splendor, their imaginable
pride and their unut,erable misery, purifying
enno5ng, correcting and redeeming angel. /
Is alike the beautiful companion of Childhood
and the comfort and support of Age. 1t emo

new graces to the lovely. The patriot, TIN

their sublime power from its inhuence.--Mar
