Flowers.
BY THE JUNIOR EDITOR

From our earliest boyhood, we have
ever been a passionate admirer of flow.
ers. In many a lonely waikiki many a
wild mountain ramble, they have been our
loved companions; and as each revolving
season brings back the beautiful beings to
gladden. our earth-how many cherished
associations of the past-how many bright
"reminiscences or sad recollections OF
other days are awakened at their coming
The cold dust of distant cline now
rests upon a mothers bosom, where our
young head has oft rcclined so swcttly,
yet her beautiful lessons of piety come to
us in melting accents, as the bright flow
ers she taught us to cultivate and to love,
bloom along life's wearied pathway. The
grave has closed over many that we loved
best, yet as we see some sweet flower,
springing from inanimate dust, after
slumbering in earth's cold embrace, our
heart is filled with trustfulness, that they
too will bloom forever in
"That ffowery land whose green turf hides NO
graves"
But we are indulging in plaintive
strain. We wish simply to express our
love for flowers, and also our earnest de.
sire to see a taste for their cultivation

On planting for Posterity.

We often hear people who set out
trees, declare that they are planting for
posterity, and cannot expect to reap the
fruit of their own labor; but posterity
will not be under any great obligation to
them for setting trees as many do. 1t
ought to be universally known, that apple
trees will set, in land which isrich enough
to produce good corn, and cultivated in a
proper manner, will yield enough i'll the
fourth or fifth year to pay the interest OF
the first years outlay. One acre of trees
well set will supply any common family
with an abundance of fruit by the fourth
or fifth year. And it is our own folly to
suffer posterity to be the only generation
which will reap the fruit of our labors.
SUSBURNr FRUIT TREEs.-Trees are
often injured in the body by the scorching
rays of the summer sun. Our prevalent
winds are westerly or south westerly at
the season of the year when trees enlarge
their dimensions and they tend to expose
the bodies of trees to the sun. This ef-
feet may be guarded against by inclining
the tree to the south west at the time of
setting; and in trimming, care should be
taken not to expose the naked body of the
tree too much to the sun. A part Of the
office of the foliage is to protect the tree,
and excessive trimming should always be
avoided. A slight inclination of the tree
in southerly direction will be sufficient
to guard the body, and care at least should
be taken that it shall never lean to the
north.

letter from Judge Hughes, of Burke county, =
ELxonE, BURKE CY., Dec. %, 1850.
Mr.. ]. E. MARsuAL,-Dear Sir: In comPli-
snce with your request, make this simple state
ment of facts. My boy Daniel stuck thorn in
his foot about the first Of last June, the thorn
was extracted, and no more thought Of it for Is
or 20 days, his foot then began to swell, and i'll
few days it was opened. 1t discharged large
quantity of matter. The discharge continued
for eight days, and then ceased. His foot then
RECOMMENDED swelling and extended up his leg,
thigh, and hip, with violent pain. He then be
gan to spit from his lungs matter similar to that
discharged from the absccss on his foot. l then
called in medical aid, and from the remedies used
he was alternately better and worse for eight or
ten weeks. During this time a large abscess
formed upon the hip, the discharge was large,
and as soon as it ceased, general swelling Of his
leg, thigh and breast commenced, which was very
hard to the touch, and at times experienced much
difficulty in swallowing. Medical aid seemed Of
no further avail, and was discontinued. / then
had recourse to your Magical Pain Eradcator. :"
In forty-eight hours, from the time commenced
its use, his foot began to soften; the swelling on
his hip and breast subsided, and am pleased to
soy he is nop toeH.
I again used your remedy in q case Of Neu-
ralgia, with great success; giving immediate re-
lief. have tried it also for Tooth Ache, with
my Youngest Child, with entire success.

your Magical Pain Eradicator," have no hesi-
tation in recommending it to the public.
Yours truly,

agrtruIturaI. a
Corn--Quantity of Seed per Acre.

oRn.-xudutlty Oh Seeo per aCres
A peck of seed is the quantity usually
estimated as being sufficient to plant an
;rcre-five or six kernels should be dropt
in each hill.
PREPARATION OF TIE SEED-Put a
pint of tar into tub, over this pour two
or three gallons of boiling water, stir until
the tar is dissolved and incorporated with
the water then put in bushel of corn,
and continue 10 stir until all the grains
are coated. To make the grains separate
easily, they should then have equal quan.
titles of plaster and ashes strewn over
them, and the mass stirred until the grains
of corn are covered with the mixture of
plaster and ashes-they may then be
planted. No more prepared corn must
he taken out at time than can be planted
through each day. 1t may remain several
days after preparation, if excluded from
the air, without injury, but does not bear
exposure so well.
There is another method of preparing
seed corn, which is said not only to pro-
tect it from birds and insects, but to pro.
mise its early growth. 1t is this, dissolve
two lbs. OF copperas in as much warm
water as will cover bushel of corn, and
let it soak "a hours; then drain off the
liquid, stir in half a gallon of soft soap,
SO as to coat the grains of corn; this
done, add as much plaster as will separate
the grains and render them fit for plant
ing. We have prepared seed corn with
the decoction of copperas and dried with
plaster, and was pleased with the result,
and have no doubt that the addition of
soft soap, as recommended will prove, on
trial, to be an improvement.
Weak solutions of saltpetre, and Glau-
Der salts, are spoken highly of as soaks
for the preparation of seed corn the for.
mer we have used and thought well of it,
the latter is highly commended BY others,
DISTANCE OF THE Rows.-This must
be regulated by the hight of the stalks
some kinds bear closer planting than
other-for general crop, upon large
scale, 4 feet each way, will be found an
advantageous distance, as it gives ample
room to work the crop, and sufficient
stalks to produce large number of ears.
In very strong soils, where plenty of ma
nure is applied, force abundant, and great
products desired, the width of rows may
be reduced to feet, and the corn drilled
at foot apart; but as drilling requires
great deal Of hand-hoeing, which is ex-
pcnsive, it cannot be recommended for
any but small premium lots, as cost of
labor would eat up the profit of crop,
If carried out on an extensive scale-EX.

become more general A small portion
of your time and means, gentle reader,
cannot be better appropriated than in this
beautiful occupation.
The utilitrarian will inquire, How can
it profit met" We answer, not in cotton,
not in negroes or mules, but in thou
sand other ways. If you have not an
eye or heart for the beauties of Nature,

room, spend an hour each day in water.
ing and dressing them, and our word for
it, you will soon see more that is beauti.
full and lovely in the world, than you ever
dreamed of before. The stars will look
brighter, the sky clearer, the face of every
merry child will look prettier, and your
eyes and ears will be delighted with ten
thousand sights and sounds before un-
needed. There is something in the cult
vation of flowers, refining and elevating
to the human heart, and no man can be
altogether bad who devotes portion of
his time to the wants of those lovely
"stars of EARTH"
To our fair readers, we need not offer
a word by way of inducement. If their
husbands and brothers would but furnish
them the means, and aid and encourage
them in the undertaking, we should soon
have fewer fowerless and cherries homes;
and instead of taste for ribbons, trinkets
and gewgaws, we should have higher
taste and more ennobling pursuits.
We were led into these reflections by
a visit, this morning, to the splendid Green.
house of Charles Collins, Esq. of Macon.
This gentleman, within the last two years,
has gathered around him the largest pri-
vate collection of rare exotics with which
we are acquainted in the South. How
much of his urbanity of manners, and
noble generosity in aiding others in his
favorite pastime, is attributable to the re.
fning and humanizing influence of his
superb, Japonicas, Cacti, Justicias, and
the whole array of blooming beauty IN
his conservatory, we know not, but we do
know, that the cultivation of a taste for
the beautiful in Nature ever begets a
lberality of sentiment and generosity
of heart, not often met with in ordinary
pursuits.-Masonic Journal.

Manuring Lands.

The following is from an able writer in
the Southern Cultivator, who signs his
name "Jethro," (vol. 8, page 35.) DR..
Philips considers him one of the ablest
writers of the day. It's for making com.
post with cotton seed. The whole arti-
Gle is well worth reading:
"Compost as follows: a layer of soil
from the woods or lots, six inches upon
the ground, then layer of cotton seed,
six inches, and so on alternately; dust or
cover the layer Of mould with half an
inch or less of unleachcd ashes, then the
seed, and so on alternately. Leached ash
es will answer, but a greater quantity is
required. The ashes neutraliscs the. acidi.
ty of the mud or vegetable matter AT
ter the compost heap is made, cover over
with earth, and let it remain until planting
time; then slice the heap from top to bot
tom, mixing all together. Can compost
heaps should be cut down in the same
way.) He then directs it to be hauled
Immediately and dropped in the hill or
scattered in the drill, and covered as soon
as possible to present the escape Of vola-
tile atoms.
Nothing, he says, in all the store
house of nature can surpass this compost
for all agricultural purposes-it stimulates
termination and strengthens the growth
of plants-to the husbandman, it is infin.
itely superior to all the guanos of new
anglcd manures that ever taxed his credu-
lity-estimate the value of your cotton
seed as one to four of the corn crop, &c.
Treasure your seed as SO many atoms Of
gold"
