On Sowing Glover Seed.

We are not able as yet, 10 give as full inGorma-
ton OH this subject as is DESIRED but win try
and do better next time. The following is vau-
able as far as il goes.
Mr.. BATEHAM:-I observe some inquiries in
your paper, in regard TO sowing clover seed. We
sowed clover seed last year on both wheat and
oats, and had an opportunity Of comparing the
results, The clover seed sown on wheat ground
germinated, no doubt, as usual, but afterwards
perished by the drought, That sown OH oats,
survived the drought, and was as abundant in
the fall as is usual the first year on wheat ground,
in ordinary seasons. The field on which it was
sown, is an orchard of about 3 acres, part of
which contains but few trees. 1t was plowcd
the first week in April, and Immediately sown
with oats; when once narrowed, the clover seed
was sown, then narrowed in. The shade Of the
apple trees did not seem 10 make any difference
in the quantity of clover.
This was our first experiment in sowing clo-
yer seed with oats. We have been in the
habit of sowing on wheat, and we never met
with total failure till last year. The time of
sowing clover seed with us, is in February or
March, when there is snow on the ground, or
when ii freezes during the night and thaws in
The day; either of these circumstances being
thought favorable for the termination ofthe seed,
as it becomes slightly imbedded in the soil.
Respectfully, &c.

Reading and Books.

A. choice ertracf from 'Prorerbial Philosophy
A good book is the best of friends, the same
to-day and forever,
To draw thee out of self, Thy petty plans aud
cautions,
To teach thee that thou lackes,, to tell thee
how largely thou art blesl,
To lure Thy thoughts from sorrow, to feed thy
furnished mind,
Tografl another's wisdom on thee, pruning
thine own folly;
Choose discreelly, and well digest the volumes
most suited to Thy case,
Touching moi religion with levity, nor deep
things when thou arr weared.
Thy mind is fteshened with morning air,grap-
lpc with science and philosophy;
Noon hath unnerved thy thoughts, dream for a
while on fcons;
Clay evening sobereth thy spirit, walk thou
then with worshippers;
But reason shalld dig deepest in the night, and
fancy fly most free.
0 books, ye monuments OF mind, concrete
wisdom Of the wsesl;
Sweet solaces of daily life; proofs and results
of immortality;
Trees yielding all fruits, whose leaves are for
the healing of the nations;
Groves Of knowledge, where ali may eat, nor
fear flaming sword;
Gentle comrades, kind advisers, friends, com
| forts, treasures;
Helps, governments. diversities Of tongues:
who can weigh your worth?
To walk no longer with the just; to be driven
from the porch of science;
To bid long adieu TO those intimate ones, poets
IpbilOsoDhcrs and teachers.
To see no record of the sympathies which
bind thee i'll communion with the good
To be thrust from the feet of Him. who spoke
as never man spake;
To have no avenue TO heaven but the din
aisle Of superstition;
To live as an Esqnmaux, in lethargy; to dic
as the Mohawk, in ignorance;
0 what were life but blank? what were deatI
lbut terror?
What were man but burden to himself
what were mind, but misery?
Yea, let another Omar burn the full library o
knowledge,
And the broad world may perish inthe flames
offered on the ashes Of its wisdom!

A Pennsylvania, it appears, has succeeded

tanned in navigating rivers or oceans? Models
of the invention are now before the committee
of the U. s. Senate on Naval Affairs, and ar
rangemeRts are being made to carry it into prac-
tcal operation. The New York Sun, which an
nounces the invention, says it entirely super
Isedes paddle wheels, screw propeers, &c, and
has the merit of operating altogether under wa
ter, beyond the reach of an enemy's fire. If
this is what it claims 10 be, it will prove 10 be a

POtatOc Rot--A Curious Fact.

In the latter part of the summer of 1874, a far
mer of the township of Lincoln, Addison county.
Vermont, was quite behind all his neghbors il
cutting his grass in his meadows. night some
waggish boys went into one of his meadows and
cut down all the grass in it. They also went into
his potatoe patch and cut few swaths through
it, When the time came for digging potatoes
his potatoes were found principally rotted ercept
rOherc The boys had moped off the tops. Those
were found 10 be sound and good.
This experiment would seem 10 show,that the
rot or disease begins in the tops; and suggests,
as the means Of saving crop of potatoes, 10 APP
ply the scythe as soon as the tops begin TO die.
The above circumstance was related BY a cre-
dtable and we'll informedperson, who resides at
no gFea. distance from the township of Lincoln.

0Il- Credit signifies the trusting or lending Of
one mans property to another; and my tailor,
when he sends me home coat. gives me credit
and does himself credit at the same time, if the
coat is good one SO that the obligation is really
mutual. Some political economists say there
can be no credit without capital, But the alb
sence ofcapital is the very essence ofcredit; for
when man has notth capital to pay bill, il is
necessary 10 give him credit. In case ofcredlt
the party 10 whom credit is given is generally
called the consumer, though the other party of
ten consumes much time in running after the
original consumer, without being able to lay hole

Mr.. Chas. J. Ingersoll and Mr.. J @, Adams,
as is generally known, have been anything but
warm personal friends for the last few years.
The other day, however, Mr.. Ingersoll was seen
at Mr.. Adams's desk, and the two venerable gen

courteous and friendly manner. After Mr.. In
gersoll had repaired to his own seat, a member
observed to Mr.. Adams that he had been plea
sod in Witnessing the meeting between Pilot and
Ierod! Mr.. Adams thanked the gentleman for
the remark, and then observed that, Just before
the downfall of Mark Antony, Cicero made
friends with several Of the Roman Tribunes with
whom he had been on terms of bitter cnmity for
several years. His friends charged him with in
