BARLEY Its CULTURE AND PRO.
FIT

As the season for sowing Summer
crops is now at hand, beg 10 say one
word in regard TO the culture Of barley
This crop is gown extensively in severaI
counties East ofns, but very little, com.
paratively, is produced in our own county.
|; would be difficult, | think, to find q
crop of Summer grain that would pay
better The ground can be ploughed late
in the Fall, ond the seed narrowed in
eavly in the Spring, ana iflhe soil and
seasoh are favorable, forty boushels per-
acre can he realized. AS general fact, ]
supposed larger number Of bushels OF
oats can be raised on an acre Of land, than
OF barley. But not enough more, to equal
the difference in price. OF course, barley
as a market crop, is mos, profitable.
lurge The culture of barley also as
crop for domestic use. 1t is nearly equal
in value to Indian corn. Good barley
will weigh from forty-e,ght to ffiy-two
pounds, and corn fl!y-six pounds to She
busbel. have had thirty-six pounds
OF good bolted -four from one bushel of
bafley-as handsome IN appearance, as
common wheat flour ground for farmers
ordinary use. New is produced, with
less than half the labor needed in pro
dnting crop Of corn-requires much
less time TO atlantis maturity-and there
is no use 10 which corn is applied. where
barley may not also be applied. 1t will
make as excellent, and more healthy
cakes, than buckwheat--when ground.
will avail in the fatiening of pork, as
benehcially as corn-is decidedly prefer.
able TO corn or oats, as food for horses
and poultry-and considering the cost of
producing, is, in my view, decidedly The
most valuable Summer grain that we
raise, 1t requires in some respects, a
different soil from oats--,hat is, oats will
do well on moist ground, were barley
will not. II requires The same, but no
better ground. than corn or Spring wheat.
But it will yield more bushels than
Spring wheat, and generally about as
many as corn. and with half the labor.
1t is, in my view, preferable crop TO
wheat. For instead Of requiring the use
of land for nearly two sea sons, Il requires
it but the half Of one, and Is free from the
hazard OF Winter killing, and o,heir evils
so fatal 10 the wheat crop. The straw
also FOR the use Of stock, is equalled by
no other kind Of straw, and is but little
inferior TO common hay. To an extensive
farmer, this would be on item Of much
yatue.--Correspondent Genesee Farmer.

Tnc Circassian Slave. -

II romance 1n Real Ll1e.-Perhaps
the pages of history, present few
more remarkable incidents, than are
connected with the life Of SeIim Pa
cha, a Circassian slave, who like Jo-
seph of old, was sold into Egypt
and like him, became ruler over a
part, if not the whole ofthe country.
The Pacha ofEgypt has been in the
habit, as almost every one is aware,
OF buying Georgian and Circasian
slaves, which he educatcs for civil
and military posts. Indeed the court
of Mohammed Ali, one of the most
energetic of all the eastern rulers, was
as late as 1916 composed almost en-
tlreiy Of slave thus educated, and DR.
OlIn, while journeying through the
valley olthe Nile, testifies, that he
had seldom seen such number of
noble looking men, as then surroun-
ded the viceroy. Those who distin-
promoted to some high office, andSe-
linn, although at first slave, became
eventually Governor of Upper e.
gypt But it was years before this
event occurred, that there happened
romantic incident in his life. After
he lad been carried away from his
fathers house and sold into bondage,
there was born to his paronts beau
tiful daughter. She grew into wo-
manhood, and like most Of the fc-
males Of that region, she was very
lovely. She shared the fate of her
brother, whom she had never seen,
and was sold into Egyptian bondage.
In the course of time, she became her
ooca 6rother's Wife. This terrible dis
covery was made by the bridegroom
while at supper on his wedding day,
The little sister whom he had never
seen, and the fair haired, delicate,
CIrcassian girl, whom he saluted as
bride, were one and the same, What
thrill must this discovery have sent
through his heart? He found sis
ter, but lost bride, The pages of
romance present few more thrilling
combination of events than this.
When he became gray headed
old man; and Governor of Upper f.
gypt, travellers stopped at Stout, on
their passage up the Nile, to gaze
upon one, esteemed for his virtues,
as well as interesting from the many
romantic incidents connected with
his life. The Pyramicls-the ancient
catacombs~-the sand covered cities
Of past ages, were hardly to them OBJ.

The Useful and the Beautiful
The tomb of Moses is. unknown; but
the traveller slakes his thirst at the
well of1acob. The gorgeous palace
ofthe wisest and wealthiest of mon
archs, with the cedar, and gold, and
ivory, and even the great temple of
syerusalsm, halloWed by the visible
glory of the Deity Ifimselfs-are gone;
but Solomonls reservoirs are as per-
feet as ever. Of the ancient archi-
Stecture of the Holy City, not one
;ston is left upon another; but the pool
of Bethesda commands the pilgrim s
reverence at the present day. The
columns of Persepolis are mounder-
ing into dust; but its cisterns and
!aqueducts remain to challenge our
admiration. The golden house of
Nero is fhass ofruins; but the A.
qua Claudia still pours into Rome its
limpid stream. The temple ofthe
sun at tTadmor, in the wilderness, has
fallen; but IFS fountain sparkles as
freshly in his rays, as when thousands
of worshippers thronged its lofty col
onnades. 1t may be that London
will share the fate of Babylon, and
nothing be left to mark its site save
mounds of crumbIing brick work.
The Thames will, continue to flow as
it does now. And if any work of
ART should still rise over the deep
ocean of time, we may well believe
that it will be neither a palace nor a
temple, but some vast aqueduct or re-
oservoir and ifany name should still
flash through the mist of antiquity,
1T will probacbly be that ola man
who in his day sought the happiness
of his felloW-men rather than their
glory, and liked his memory to some
great work of national utility and be-
jleyolence- This is the true glory
which outliyes all other, and shines
