SONG.

When Jack was on the giddy mast,
And lightpings iiash'd adown the shrouds'
When every moment seemed the last,
And death frcwnd threatEing from the ciona:
He cast a wishful eye around,
While thinking on his native valley,
And mid the pealing thunder sounds,
His voice was heard, farewell my Sally
When wars red pennon wav'd on high,
Appeared the signal for attack,
New courage beamed in every eye,
And not soul more brave than Jack;
One PRAYER alone to heaven he sighed,
While thinking ofhis native valley,
care not for my fate he cried,
But if / fall, oh, bless my Sally
His guardian angel heard the prayer,
And wept that il was breath'd too late,
For. at that moment, from afar,
Flew the shrill whistling ball of fate.
Lack wounded fell, but fainting cried,
Adieu. my dear. my native valley,
hrd as life's current ebbed, he sighed
Farewell forever, lovely Sally.

She rose from her untroubled sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And. in "a tone as low and deep
As loves FIST whisper, breathed prayer;
Her snow-whie hands together PresSd,
Her blue eyes shelter'd in the lid
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms it hid;
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and slender foot,
Whose shape upon the earth did press
Like a new snowflake, white and mute;
And there, from slumber pure and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She how'd her slight and graceful form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven
Oh God, if souls unsoil'd as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne
If she upon her bended knees
Our loveliest and our purest one
She, with face so clear and bright
We deem her some stray child of light
If she, with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day in her first years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee
What far, far deeper need have we!
How hardly, if she win not heaven,
VIII OUR wild errors be forgiven.

OREGON AND CHINESE WHEAT-Just
" received few sacks of the above new and SUI
peror seed grain, from H. r. Smeltzer esq, of
Bloomfield farm. The Oregon is a red kernel wheat,
and the Chinese beautiful plump white kernel
These extraordinary varieties produced Mr.. s. last
season As to SO bushels of wheat per acre. weighing
60 to 60 lbs. per bushel.
"OREGoN AND CHINk wHEAr.-There have been
le at our Office two new species ofwheatone called
Oregon the other sChina.' 1t was taken from the
Bloomfield estate, belonging TO Henry r. Smeltzer,
near Middletown, Frederick county, Maryland
The Oregon wheat was found or discovered by a
missionary travelling through that territory, who
brought it to this country in 1882 Mr. Smeltzcr
this year raised from four and quarter acres, 2l2
bushels and AZ lbs., which is fraction over SO
bushels to the acre. This wheat is very hardy, of
beautiful red color, with smooth chaf heads from
to inches long, and average from 80 10 100
grains to the head 1t is believed il will yield at
least 20 per cent more to the than the ordinary
wheat from the fact that it has from Is TO 20 grains
more to the head The history Of the China wheat
is rather singular. A few heads were found in a
box of China-ware imported from the north of Chi
MAJ and the heads being SO very large and compact,
the discoverer was induced to plant them. Mr.. s.
informs us that last year he raised 42I bushels per
acre with it, and this year AZ bushels per acre. This
is a beautiful white wheat, and has heads or ears
about as long as the Oregon wheat and about the
same number of grains to the head The China
wheat is of the early kind and 30 far has not been
injured by smut, mildew, or fy."--Sun.
