properly cured. AS general rule, 1t is not
advisable 10 permit it to remain standing
much after the period Of in1orescence, as the
seed in the field exposes it to certain de-

minishes its value as feed for stock, be-
side nsuring certain degree of actual and
unavoidable loss in handling it, as those

the process of raking and pitching, even
when these operations are performed with the
most consummate care.
My plan of operation in clover, is as fol-
lows AS soon as the heads are fully blown
commence moving, care being had 10 lay
the swaths as closely as possible. and 10 leave
no scattering grass between them, if it can
be helped. About four o'clock in the after
noon, provided the weather during the day
has been clear and warm, have the swaths
turned carefully over with fork, and in this
position they are allowed 10 remain till four
O'Clock the next day. then, with pitch
fork, commence cooking the swaths-piching
the half made grass in fakes as much as pos
sible, and making my cocks compact but

MARRIAGE WITHOUT COURTsHIP.


About three years ago, the Rev Il. s. NJ
Clay, of Concord, Franklin county, Pa, (late
Of Gettysburg received call on the Board
of Foreign Missions connected with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, 10 visit China
and preach the Gospel 10 the benighed Ce-
lestials of the central howery land. M'Cay
was young, ardent and enthusiastic, and most
willingly embraced the high and holy duty
assigned him. In due time he arrived IN
China, and was stationed at Eau Chua, some
seven hundred miles in the interior from
Hong Kong. There he studied the native
language, and commenced his labor of love
among the Cele.tials, with the most fattering
success. Still there was something wanting
"a void in the heart 10 be tilled--he sighed
for that best solace 10 man, either in veal or
woe-a WIFE. How 10 get one, was an intri-
cate question 10 solve. There were 10
American ladies there from whom he could
make choice, and as for Chinese wife,
the laws of the land forbade ii, neither did
his inclination desire it. What the was 10
be done A fertile imagination can accom-
plish wouders-a firm determination can sur
mount difficulties that would 'o'ertop old Pei
ion." He wrote 10 the Board of Missions on
the subject-he wrote in pathetic-we might
perhaps say poetic-srains, of his lonely con-
Gtion for the want of one on whom he could
beslow his affections, and who would be the
partner of his Joys and sorrows through life,
and ended by asking that the Board send him
young lady who would be willing 10 be.
come his wife-agreeably 10 his directions
which he sent in the form of blank decla'
ration to be filed up by the lady accepting
the proposition.
This was novel proposition, but the Boart
was of opinion that it was a Just one, anc
proceeded with due diligence TO search 70
the object desired, and strange to say, sue
cess Gro, ned their effort
Some time previous TO the receipt of Mr.
MClay's letter, young lady, Mis-. iIenrieni
Sperry of Brooklyn, n Y, made application
10 the Board TO be sent as a Missionary +
China, but was refused on account of ben;
unmarried. To her the application of MI
M'Clay was shown; she at once filledup tn
blank application, and correspondence en-
sued which ended in her leaving New Yor
in company with number of other mssiona
ries, on the 10Th of March last, in the shi
Tartar, for Hong Kong, where she will b
met by Mr.. M'Clay, and the nuplial ceremt
ny will be solemnized,
The lady's personal attractions have bee
described to us, by one who had the pleasur
of seeing her previous to taking sail on h,
