Topping Corn, or Cutting Stalks.

The first of September is the time when farm
ers usually commence cutting though the ques-
ton whether the ears continue to draw nourish-
ment from the stalk, later than this, has not been
fully settled. We have strong evidence howev-
er, in favor OF the position that the ears fill bet
ter and the corn is heavier when the tops are al
lowed to remain till the middle of September.
But more recent fashion of harvesting now
prevails to great extent in N. England The
tops are allowed to stand till it is time to cut up
the whole at the surface of the ground and the
corn and stalks are put in shocks and bound at
the top, as we bind pixies of top stalks. The
time set for cutting up the whole is just before
the Aard frost comcs, ifyou know when that is.
The advocates Of this new mode insist that the
labor of harvesting is less, than the corn is less
liable to injury from frost, and that the stoyer is
better than it is when harvested in the old mode.
Those who object to it say the labor is great
err and that the husks are not so easily managed
that the corn will not be so heavy
A man who has become used to the old mode
will accomplish more than by the new one
The fodder is better, we find, when the whole is
cut up at the root-P|Onghmaa.

d" Il is only Once"

A minister, recently addressing the young men
of his congregation on their peculiar dangers,
referred, towards the conclusion of his discourse,
to some of the pleas which sin urges for its IN
diligence, and amongst the rest, to this, " 1t IS
only Once." Permit me-" said he, " to relate
to you fact of my own experience"
When boy of twelve or thirteen years of
age, remember asking my beloved and honored
father question which afforded him the oppor
tunity of impressing on my mind an important
caution. ! well remember the place, the time,
and the tone of voice in which it was uttered.

temptations, and was sometimes on the verge OF
compliance, but the serious voice of my father
seemed to sound in my ear, 'One false step has
ruined many young man; and | believe II

impress that thought on your hearts, | should
deem the evenings labor not lost You may be
tempted to enter the tavern, and the plea may be

Saturday Night.

Another week. with its cares and its pleasures,
its sorrows and its joys, has rolled away, and Sat
urday evening, grateful in promise of the ever
welcome Sabbath, is here. Worn with tolls and
anxietes, we look longingly to the sweet Day OF
Rest for relaxation. Come, good mother, dear
wife and gentle sister, let US be happy-strve tc
forget the great world-the sunshine of joy shall
light up the chambers of the soul-corrodng
anxeties are shut out A pleasant smile on the
faces Of all, lends enchanment to the happy
group We are not rich-but the millionaire
could not feel more joyful. The pomp, pride
and circumstance Of wealth is not ours, yet We
have what money could not buy-contentment
Blessed is the influence of the Sabbath--it har
monies the discords of earth-breathes a holy
spirit over mankind, and prepares the way fn
that better and brighter world, where sin and sor
row are unknown

or, that he might repay him the amount advan-
eed, but received in reply-Neyer mind the adj
dress, you may repay me by aiding some other
unfortunate being with whom you will probably
meet in the journey of life
That youth is now in the meridian of life, sur
rounded with friends and wealth. and honors
have been heaped upon him; but he has never
forgotten this incident of his early days and the
poor and the frendess never appeal to him in
vain. The debt has been paid with compound
interest but still he says it remains unIiquidated,
and will while there is misery to alleviate, and
Providence furnishes him the means to do it
His benefactor may never know the history Of
the youth whose present position in life may be
attributed to his benevolence, yet he will have
his reward, for the promise has gone forth from
Him who cannot err, that he who giveth to the
poor lendeth to the Lord '-Sandy Hill Herald

Tbr fomtlp Circle,
The Almond Blossom,

Dear mamma, said a lovely little girl to her
mother, as they were walking together ID the gar
den, why do you have SO few Of those beautiful
double almonds in the garden! You have hardly
a bed where there is not tult ofyloets, and they
are so much palmer what can be the reason!
MY dear child ; said the mother gather me
bunch of each. Then | will tell you why
prefer the humble violet
The little girl ran off and soon returned with
fine bunch of the beautiful almond and few
volets.
Smell them my love, said her mother, and
see which is the sweetest
The child smelled again and again, and could
scarcely believe herself, that the lovely almond
had no scent, while the plain violet had delight
full odor.
well, my child, which is the sweetest!
oh, dear mother, it is this little Violet
well, you know now, my child, why prefer
the plain violet to the beautiful almond Beau
ty without fragrance, in flowers, is as worthless,
in my opinion, as beauty without gentleness and
good temper in little girls. When any of those
people who speak without reflection may say to
you. 'What charming blue eyesl What beau
tfu cursl What fine complexion! without
knowing whether you have any good qualities,
and without thinking Of your defects, and fail
ings, which every body is born with, remember
then, my little girl, the almond blossom; and re-
member also, when your aflectlonate mother
may not be there to tell you, that beauty without
gentleness and good temper is worthless

Ertrocts from Mems and Ends Of SELF Training,
What is Education,
by MISS sEDGWICK.

What is education! asked a teacher of class
of girls, Young persons, when asked such gen.
era questions, do not reply promptly. They
have no thoughts on the subject, and therefore
have nothing to say; or, their thoughts not being
arranged, they are not ready to answer; or, they
may be too difficult to answer at ALL On this
occasion, halft the girls were silent, and the rest
replied, Il don't know, sir
'Obligc me girls, by saying something urged
the teacher. The word is not Greek--surey
you have some ideas about it. What is your
notion of education, Mary Blissl
Does it not mean, sir, learning to read and
writer Mary Bliss paused, and the girl next
her added, and cyphering, sir, and grammar
and geography?
yes, it means this, and something more
What is your idea of education Sarah Johnsonl
L did not suppose education meant much more
than the girls have mentioned, sir Mr. Smith
said, at the Lyceum lecture, that the great mass
Of the people received their education at the
common schools; and the girls have named near
y all that we learn at the common schools
Does not education mean, asked Maria Jar
Wis, the learning young men obtain at colleges
often hear people say of a man that he has 'haC
an education,' when they mean merely that he
has been through college
you are right, Maria, in believing this to be
commonly received meaning of the term, ed
ucation:' it means more, and as it is impor
tant to you to have right and fixed ideas on thi
subject, earnestly beg you to give me your at
tention while | attempt to explain to you its full
meaning.
"A great man, Mr.. Locke said, that the dit
ference to be found in the manners and abitie
of men, is owing more to their education thai
anything else Now, as you are acquainte'
with men who have never seen the inside of
college, and yet who are superior in manner
and abilities to some others who have passe,

September.

This first of the autumn months is always a bu-
sy time for the farmer as it commences prepara-
lions for the final harvest of the crops, for which
he has been toling during the spring and sum
mcr. He now begins to enjoy the consumatlon
of his labors, and to realize more or less return
for the capital expended during the year in carry
ing on his business.
Attention should be paid to stock, especially
to mich cows for the pasture will begin to fail,
and shift into some other enclosure, where
there is a good supply of fall feed, will be very
grateful to them. Your patch Of corn that you
sowed broadcast for them in the spring, if it has
been done well, will now be of essential service.
An armful to each COW, once or twice per day,
will be paid for promptly by an increase of milk
and butter Hogs that are designed for early
slaughter may receive little more attention in
the way of fattenng, and at the same time an
hour or two spent in moving weeds that will
grow in bye places, to throw over to them, will
be productive of advantage in two ways, viz by
preventing their going to Seed and by adding to
the manure heap, for the support of next years
crop.
Early apples may also receive attention-the
refuse ones will form an excellent addition to the
swill tub, if well cooked, and what of the best
of them are not carried to market may be dried
for winters use. The evenings are getting Ion
ger, and if the boys and girls wish for an " ap-
pie pairing bee" occasionally, why, cen let them
have it, only see that the amount of work cor
responds to the buzzing. Perhaps you may have
some low lands that are dry enough to be cleared
up; if so, and you can bring your arrangements
Alright, by all means attend to them. Clear up q
little, if it be only quarter of an acre. A quar-
ter of an acre of grass is more valuable than a
quarter an acre of hard hacks" and alder bush

Time Lost.

One of the sands in the hour-glass of time is,
beyond comparison, more precious than gold
In nothing is waste more rulnous, or more sure
to bring unavailing regrets. Better throw away
money than moments for time is much more
than money As we lose our days, we incur an
increasing risk of losing our souls. " The life
blood of the soul runs out in wasted time" The
years which have winged their flight have gone
to the recording angels; and what is the "rePor
they have borne to heaven % Will the record
testify for us or against us, when the throne
of the Son of Man shall be set, and the book
shall be opened
