A Nubian Loom,

Early one morning when walking ashore |
came upon loom which would excite the aston
ishment of my former fellow-townsmen, the Nor.
wlch weavers; little pit was dug in the earth, I'M
der palma pit just big enough 10 hold the
reades and the feet of the weaver, who sits on the
end of the pit The beam was made ola slender
palm stem, fixed into two blocks. TreadIes were
made ofspines of the palm fixed into bits ofstick,
The shuttle was, think, forked twig. The cot
ton warn was even and the fabric good that is,
evenly woven. 1t was, though coarse,s so thin that
one might see the light through; but that was in
tended and only appropriate to the climate.
might have wondered at such fabric proceeding
from such an apparatus, i'll had not remembered
the muslins of India, produced in looms as rude
as this. 1t appears too from the paintings In the
looms, that the old Egyptian looms were ofnear-
vas simple construction, though the people we re
celebrated for their exports of fine linen and wool
en- stuff5. The stoutlooking gay-checkered sails
the boats, and the diversified dresses Of the peo-
! pie represented in the tombs, were no doubt the
produce Of the rude looms painted up beside them.
The baskets made by the Nubians are strong and
good. Their mats are neat, but neither so servi-
ceabe nor SO pretty as those Of India; but then
this people have not such material the Hlndoos.
Their rope-makng is pretty sight, pretter even
than an English ropewalk, though that even is a
treat to the eye. We often saw men thus employ
ed, one end other strands being tied to the top
of tall palm, while they stood at the other,
throwing the strands round till they would twist
no more.-MiSsM Eastern Life

Ladies Of Bagdad.

During the hottest months, when the thermometer
is often at the height of 100 degrees Farenhe the la
dies wear silken garment and slippers but stock
ings. At nght is the custom to sleep on the terrace
at the top of the house in the open arthe ladies', the
men, the children and the domestcs having each the
separate terrace. Strange as it may sound in Amer
lean ears, it is by no means an uncommon practice
with the ladies' in Bagdad, in the months of July and
August, to steep their night clothes in cold water
which is sung up for the purpose in SKINS in order tc
put them on, wrnging wet, and again retire to thei
beds of palm branches to enjoy refreshing slumbers
Notwithstanding this practice, rheumatism, so preva
lent with u.s. is rarely heard of in that country

From the Massachusetts Plougbman.
Summer Seeding.

Farmers should not forget that the latter part
of August is the best time to SOW grass seed
Not that it is the only time, for much Of our land
may lie seeded in the Spring. Lands that are
planted this year and made itch may be laid to
grass next spring, sowing grain Of some kind
with the grass seed 1t is but few years since
this was almost the universal practice of seeding
in New England
But since it has become less important OBJ
ect here to raise grain than grass, on account
of the increased facilities for the transportation Of
western grain, great change has taken place.
1t is now nearly ten years since the editor of this
paper commenced publishing an Agricultural
Journal. At that time it was quite uncommon
to see plat of greensward land turned over and
sown down Immediately with grass seed alone.
He talked with hundreds of farmers on the sub
ect and found it quite difficult to persuade them
to make the experiment Some of them consen-
ted to SOW grass seed with winter grain, but
most of them were afraid to trust grass seed "a
lone.
But now how common to find large fields laid
down to grass in August and September. Nu-
merous farmers are pleased to find they can do
it with perfect safety and they obtain hay instead
of rye or wheat for their first harvest-in most
cases crop of more value, and yet one that is
less exhaustng
Yet numerous errors and bunders have been
committed for want of proper attention. The
time of sowing is important, but this alone will
not insure a crop of grass. A top dressing is
quite important to sctthe grass out, and this should
be fine and we'll mixed with the surface SOIL
The harrow should be made to pass repeatedly
over the field and the roller will be found to be
an excellent adjunct.
1t should be kept in mind that many acres lie
so low that they cannot be plowed in the Spring
or planted at any time to advantage. Such lands
may often be plowed at this season and laid fiat
enough for moving. One peck of good herds
grass seed will answer for an acre. Most of us
sow some red.top seed with it; but not much of
this will be required where grass Of this kind
covered the geensward furrow.

ed thirty feet apart in diamond order, male tree
in the centre. They begin to bear in the eight
year, increasing for many years, and they pay a
large profit. There is no nutmeg season. Ev

of Harrison county, Ia, sample of delicious
early apple. He gives it no name says that it
originated in Harrison county, grew on trees from
four to seven feet high, and that the trees
bear a second crop in the fall, of which he
says he will also send us sample. The
apple is of good size, fine form, exceeding beau.
ty, and very delicious. The color of most of the
apples sent u.s. is all over bright cherryred, but
some are green, with broad red cheek. We
regard it as eminently worthy Of cultivation, and
request Mr.. Kintner to forward US quantity of
gratis next winter, that we may propagate some

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY.
Orr Western Lakes,

A correspondent of the Cambridge Mass Chronicle,
writing from the Sault Ste Marie, makes the following
calculations, which may be of interest:
July 81 have been making some calculations and
comparisons in relation to the extent of these lakes
some of which will give YOU and let that topic rest
Into Lake Ontario you can plunge, H. e. you can
can lift herr the whole of our good old Massachusetts
and still leave bathing ROOM Lake Erie, when drain
ed will make three States equal to Vermont, Connec-
ticut and Rhode Island. Lake Huron, with its bays
compares almost exactly in size with Maine; LIKE
Michigan would contain Vermont, New Hampshire
and Connecticut; while neither of the large States o.
New York, Pennsylvania or Ohio, is large enough tf
make cover 10 Lake Superior Or take those coun
tries which have so occupied the thoughts of mankind
Tho present kingdom of Greece would be lost in Lake
Erie, Italy in Lake Huron, and five sixths of all Eng

larger than many German or Italian principality.-

Cnlting Bushes.

The month of August, or about the middle of
the month is suitable time to cut bushes to
prevent their sprouting Some think that this
operation should be performed at the full of the
moon. But we think that the moon has but lit
tie to do with vegetation. A full or hot sun may
have some effect
Bushes often make encroachments on moving
lands, aud when the busy season of hayng and
early harvesting are past, it may be well for the
farmer to devote little time to retrenchments
in this particular. Some bushes, such as elders
and some others cannot be destroyed by cutting ;
they must be taken up by the roots, Where bush
es are numerous, the best way to destroy them
is by ploughing after cutting and burning or re-
moving the tops-BOStOn CutivatOr.

Now, joy ind thanks forever more!
The dr(ary night has well-nigh passed;
The slumIers of the North are DER
The Giant stands erect a, last;
More than we hoped in that dark time,
When flint with watching, few and worm
We saw no welcome day-star climb
The COLI grey pathway of the morn
Oh weary hours! Oh night of years.
What ston5 our darking pathway swept,
Where beating back our thronging fears,
BY Faith alone our march we kept
How jeered the scofing crowd behind,
How mocked before the tyront train,
As, one by one, the true and kind
Fell faintng in our path of pain!
They died--their brave hearts breaking slow
But, sell-torgetfuI to the last,
In words of cheer and bugle blow
Their breath upon the darkness passed.
A mighty host, on either hand,
Stood waiting for the dawn of day
Tocrush like reeds our feeble band;
The morn has come-and, where are they;
Troop after troop its line forsalles,
With peach width banners waving free,
And from our own the glad shout breaks,
OF FREEDOM AND FRATERNITYn
Like mist before the growing light,
The hostile cohorts melt away;
Hurra!-our feomen of the night
Are brothers at the dawn of day!
AS, unto these repentant ones,
We open wide our tol-worn ranks,
Along our line murnur runs,
fsong and praise and grateful thanks.
Sound for the onsetl-Blast on blast
Till slavery's minions cover and quail;
One charge of fire shall drive them fast
Like shaft before our Northern gale
Oh, prisoners in your house of pain,
Dumb, toiling millions bound and sold!
Look stretched in Southern vale and plain,
The Lords delivering hand behold!
Above the yrant's pride of power,
His iron gates and guarded wall,
The bolts which shattered Shinar's tower,
Hang smoking, for fiercer fall
Awake! awake my Father-land!
1t is thy Northern light that shines;
This stirring march of Freedoms band
The storm song of thy mountain pines,
Wake jewellers where the day expires;
Your winds that STIR the mighty lake,
And fan your prairie's roaring fires,
Are Freedoms signals! wake! awake!
