The. following information we repub-
lishs from the Watchman for Oct. l846.-
a subscriber Of ours followed the. pre-.
scription and got 80 bushels Of corn more
Tor il, according to his own estimate, from
a, field Of twenty acres. - Waterman Of
the Valley. s3 ts Id
Mr.. Loring Wbetmore, an experienced
Pennsylvania Farmer,- states that he has
had his corn corp increased about 33 per
cent; by simple preparation Of the seed
as follows: 3ist
At noon Of the day before planting,
18th Of May, says Mr.. w. put my
corn to soak in strong decoction of cop
peras water.-say two pounds of copper
as TO warm soft water, sufficient to cover
a bushel Of corn. The next. morning |
took out peck, added pint or more Of
soft soap, stirred it thoroughly, then put
on plaster enough to make it convenient
Tor planting, say one quart. The whole
held was planted with seed thus prepared,
except four rows, which were planted
with seed without any preparation. The
after culture Of the whole was alike = pas
sing through each way with the cultiva-
vator and hoeing twice. The four rows
last mentioned were cut up, harvested,
and the corn weighed and measures BY
itseli also four rows next adjoining, the
seed Of which had been prepared as above.
i The produce of the four rows of unpre-
pared seed was eleven bushels and half,
1.-The produce Of the four rows from the
prepared seed was seventeen bushels
a difference of five and a half bushels of
ear in one hundred and twenty hills. The
yield Of the remainder of the field aver
age fully equal to the four best rows
The difference in the growth and APP
Pearance Of the corn Of prepared and UNI
prepared seed was striking from the time

was all cut down by the frost when about
three inches high, bnt came on finely af-
ter the first of June. There was scarce
iy soft ear in the whole field, excepting
the four rows of unprepared seed. These
about a week later in ripening than that
from the prepared seed. The soil is a
sandy loan. The whole expense of pre-
pairing the bushel and three peoks of seed
did not exceed 81 cents. The increased
produce Of the field, by preparing the
seed, was over 200 bushels of ears.

green for cooking, but insipid when ripe

Labor and Recreation.

/ Our snudern system Of division Of labor
divides wits also. The more necessity
there IL, therefore, for finding in recrea-
ton something to expand mans inteili-
Igence. here are intellectual pursuits
almost as much divided as pin making
and many man gets through some INTEL
lectqal process, for the greater part Of his
working hours which corresponds with
the making Of q pinhead. Mustthere not
be some danger Of a. general contraction 81
mind from this conveyance Of attention
upon something very small, for SO great q
portion Of mans life? ,,.r.. rs
have seen it quoted from Aristotle,
that the end Of labor, is to gain leisure. Il
as a great saying. We have in modern
times q totally wrong view Of the matter.
Noble work is noble thing, but not all
work. Most people seem to think that
any business is in itself something grand;
that to be intensely employed, for instance,
about something which has notruth, beau
lty Or usefulness in it, which makes no
man happier or wiser, is still the perfec-
ton Of human endeavor, SO that the work
be intense. It's the intensity, not the ma
ture Of the work that men praise. Yon
see the extent Of this feeling in little things.
People are SO ashamed of being caught for
a moment idle, if you come upon the most
industrious servants or workmen whilst
they are standing looking at something
which interests them, or fairly resting,
they move off in fright, as if they were
proved, by a moments relaxation, to be
neglectful in business. Yet it is the re-
suit that they should mainly be Judged by,
and to which they should appeal. But
among all classes, the working itself, in-
cessant working is the thing defined.
Now what is the end and object Of most
work? To provide for animal wants. Not
a contemplate thing by any means, but
still it is not all in all with man. More
over, in those cases where the pressure
Of bread getting is fairly past, we do not
often find mems exertions lessened on that
account. There enter into their minds as
motives, ambition, love of boarding or
fear of leisure, things which, in modera-
ton, may be defended or even justified,
but which are not so peremptorily and
upon the face of them excellent, that they
at once dignity excessive labor.
The truth is, that TO work insatiably re-
quires much less mind than to work Judi
.clously, and courage to refuse work that
can not be done honestly. For hundred
men whose appetite for work can be dri-
ven on BY vanity, avarice, ambition,-or a
mistaken notion of advancing their fami-
lies, there is but one who is DESTROYS of
expanding his own nature and the nature
OF others in all directions, of cultivating
manly pursuits, Of bringing himself and
those around him in contact with the uni
verse in many points, Of being man and
not a machine.-Friends in Council.

A Scene OF, the Canal

Our friend Bob McElvay, who by the
by is one Of your acknowledgements
ny kind of chaps, sometimes tells some
laughable things TO which he has been All
eyewitness, during his labors with the
rod and line on the 'raging canawl." We
know of none of his stories which caused
us to Shaw! haw!'' louder than the one
we are about to relate.
An unsophisticated joker was fishing
one day in the muddy waters of the Eas-
tern portion Of the Pennsylvania Canal,
when to his great surprise he got saw
age bite. He Immediately gave his line
jerk that would have brought out a
shark, when 10! and behold, he pulled out
huge swapping turtle and threw it flat
on the toe-path. He stood in amazement
gazing upon the singular s'beast," when
by and by an Irishman came along follow
ed by a large dog. The countryman tri-
ed by gentle words to get The son Of Emer-
aid Isle to put his finger into The turtles
mouth, but Paddy was two smart for that,
but says he, 'I'll put my dogs tail in, and
see what the bloody basic will do"
He Immediately called up his dog, took
his tail into his hand, and stuck it in the
turtles mouth. He hardly got it in,
when Mr.. Turtle shut down upon the
poor dogs tail, and off he started at rail-
road speed, pulling the turtle after him at
a more rapid rate than ever it travelled
before. The countryman thinking his
days work would be thrown away If the
animal should run long at that rate, turn
ed with a savage look upon the laughing
lrishman, and exclaimed ''call back your
dog! call back your dog"
Paddy put his hands into his pocket,
threw his head to one side, winked, and
then answered with provoking sang froid,
.'Be Jabers call back your. fish, -Spir-
it OF the Times.

A Story Of Leap lear.

The St. Louis ReveilIe is responsible
for the following. 1t is narrative of
what actually occurred, and for the entire
truth of which Solitaire pledges his sword
and honor"
Sam Smith sat at nome on New Years
day, in dishabille. His beara was un-
shaved and his hair uncombed; sis boots
were unblacked, and he was leaning back
in a picturesque attitude, with his heels
against the mantle-piece, smoking cigar.
Sam thought to himself that it was leap
year, and how glorious it would be if the
ladies' could be induced to pop the ques-
ton, in accordance with their ancient
privileges. As he sat watching the smoke
which SO gracefully curled, his fancy glow
ed with the idea. How delightful it would
be to have the dear creatures fondling on
him, and with tender chances attempting to
do the agreeable. AS he meditated, his
heart softened, and he began to feel a
sqeamish, womanish sensibility diffi,se it.
self over his feelings; and he thought he
would faint with propriety. the very first
time young lady should squeeze his
hand. crap! rap!! rap!!!" sounded
at the door. Sam peeped through the
Venitian blinds. "Mercy" exclaimed he,
"if here isn't Miss Jones, and all in dis
habille, and looking like a fright---good-
ness gracious! must go right away,
and fix myself"
As he left the room Miss Jones enter
ed, and with composed air minated
that she would wait. Miss Susan Jones
was firm believer in woman's rights,
and now that the season was propitious.
she determined to take advantage thereof,
and to do little counting on her own
hook. 1t was one of woman's privileges,
which had been usurped by the tyrant.
man, and she was determined to assert
her rights, in spite of the hollow formal
tiles of false system of society.
Meanwhile, with palpitating heart,
Sam Smith went through with series of
personal adornments. The last twist was
given to his collar, the last curl to his
whiskers, and with white cambria in hand,
he decended to the parlor. Miss Jones
rushed to receive him, and grasping his
hand with fervor, said: dearest, how
beautiful you look" accompanying her
words with a glance Of undisguised admi-
ration.
sSpare the bushes Of modest Young
man." said Sam, applying his cambria to
his face to hide his confusion.
"Nay, my love, why so coy?" said SUI
san; esturn not away those lovely eyes,
dark as Jet, but sparkling as the diamond.
Listen to the VOWS Of fond affection. Here
let us rest,'' said she, drawing him to the
sofa; sshere, with my arm around thee,
will protest nv true Affection
aLeave me, oh leave me-, murmered
Sam; ssthink Of nv youth, nv inexperi-
ence; spare, oh spare my n palpitaating heart. y
