A CAPITAL STORY.

Everybody has heard Of the hoax that
Powers, the great sculptor, is said to have
played off on our excellent friend, Peyton
S. Symmes, of Cincinnati. This story
has recently been resuscitated and embel-
lished by some additions not in the origi-
nal, and has been repeated so often that
MIR. Symmes actually felt annoyed, and,
to relieve him, Powers was written to, and
in reply he wrote the subjoined very a.
musing account of the affair 1t will be
seen that Mr.. Symmes was not the SUBJ
ject of the hoax, and we are glad the sto-
~ is shifted to somebody else's shoulders,
for Mr. S. is one Of the worthiest men we
know of, his only failing being a rather
too diffusive love for punning By the
way, Mr.. S. is candidate for the magis>
tracy in Cincinnati, and, if we had the
misfortune to live in that city, he should
have our votes and those of all other per-
sons we could influence, for the Queen
City never had a better justice of the
peace than our most excellent friend
Symmes would make. But 10 Powers's
letter. Here it is, and a capital letter il
is too:

concerned in it, is untrue, it is but just
that you should desire this refutation from

story was tol6, that Mr.. Henderson had
designs upon several of the most respec-
table citizens, yourself of the number +;
but these designs were never executed,
except upon half dozen or more persons

museum. This was done in order to sat-

Education,

An education is young mans capital;
for a well informed, intelligent mind has
the best assurance Of future competency
and happiness. A fathers best gift to
his child, then, is a good education. If
you leave them wealthy, you may assure
their ruin; and at best you only leave
them that which at any moment may be
lost.
If you leave them with a cultivated
heart, affections trained to objects of love
and excellence, mind vigorous and en-
larged, finding happiness pure and eleva-
ted in the pursuits OF knowledge. you ef
feet an insurance on their after happiness
and usefulness. Unless you bring up
the young mind in this way, you cannot
with any justice, claim for its possessor
independence. Your children must be
virtuous, or they will not desire it. They
must be intelligent to have them intelli-
gent associates, as they must have habits
OF industry and sobriety to make the
company of the industrious and sober
agreeable.
1t is in your power to bestow this vir-
tue, this intelligence, and these golden
habits. Present them a good model in
your own life, and give them every op-
portunity to cultivate the heart and the
unders tanding. Spare not expense on
your school, and put into your chIldren's s
hands every thing that may encourage or
assist them in their mental or moral I'M
provement.

Work for SeDtember,

SELECTION OF SEED CoRN.-This
month seed corn should be selected. Ii
can only be well done in the field, by gath
ering those ears with small butt-ends, the
second ripe, and taken from stalks which
have two or more well-flled ears to each.
| In this way, the best varieties of corn in
| cultivation have been obatined.
THREsHING OUT GRAIN.-Continue TO
thresh your grain as fast as your business
or circumstances will allow; for the soon
DESTROYING the eggs of the 'weevil fly,
which deposites them in the grain in Its
green and succulent state. IF wheat be
threshed soon after harvest, and thrown
into bulk, it undergoes heat, which des-
troys the egg, and it sustains no injury;
but, if it remains long in the shock, or
stack, the weevil matches, and makes its
way out of the grain
| FULMIGATING GRANERIEs.-If your
granary is invested with the 'black weevil,
clear it entirely of grain, place pan OF
powdered sulphur in bed of sand, close
the windows, doors, and cracks, and set
the sulphur on fire. And the smoke will
either destroy or drive the weevils away.
SEEDING TMoTHY.-If you have not
already sown your Timothy, let it be done
as early as possible this month, at the rate
of twelve quarts of seed to the acre. Be
sure that the seed is sound and fresh; and,
as protection to the infant plants, sow,
also, at the same time. peck of buckwheai
to each acre of ground. Such meadows
as have began to fail, may be increased in
their yield of hay, by sowing on them a
peck of Timothy seed, with from five to
ten bushels of wood ashes, and an equal
| quantity of lime per acre, afterwards har-
rowing and rolling it in.
KITCHEN GARDEN.-Hoe and thin out
the turnip crops. About the 18th, SOW
cabbage, caulifower, broccoli, and carrots,
to remain protected in the seed beds during
winter, for early transplanting in the
spring. Gather garden and flower seeds
as they ripen, if not done before, and care
fully put them away in cool dry place
secure from the depreciation of vermin.
FRUIT GARDEN AND ORcHARD.-Bud-
ding of peach trees may be performed in
the early part of the month; also that OF
other trees, so long as the bark will peel
Peach, plum, apricot, and all northern trees
bearing stone fruits, may be pruned while
the sap is in downward motion. Straw.
berries may now be planted in beds.
FLOWER GARDENS AND PLEASURE
GRoUNDs.-Toward the close of this
month, beds may be prepared for planting
tulips, hyacinths, anemonies, and Other
flower roots and shrubs that are to be re-
moved the next. Trees and shrubs may
be propagated by cuttings and layers
