Save the Best Seed.

The season has arrived when some of the
seeds are ripe and little cale is necessary in
their preservation, not only to secure them from
waste, but to preserve only the best for future
sowing Farmers never think of raising puny
badly formed calf pig or lamb to be kept as a
breeder, but make animals pass the scrutiny of Il
severe judgement before they decide to propo.
gate from them. The preservation OF early, large
and perfect seeds for continuing crops is 10 less
important than that of retaining the most thrift

last 1t is on able cxpoSitOn-of the principles oil the
Mystic Order. Although we are not Mason, yet we
are not among those who oppose it; for we believe it
to be good institution and even were we disposed to
raise objections to it, we think it would be proper to
ascertain something more than we know at present,
before attempting to enlighcn othcrs.o on the subject
for as Col C. very properly remarks, mo one is COM
petent to pronounce opinion on any institution, u-
less he is well acquainted with its principles operation
and influence And no one can know what Masonry
is unless he has been initiated into its mysteries. If
then he perceive any evil in it, let him withdraw from
it and use his influence against it; but let him not be
so unreasonable as 10 deuounce that of which heis ut
tery ignorant" This is good advice apart from Ma
sonry 1t is unfortunately common error Of human
nature to condemn things, persons, and the motives
and actions ofothers when may ourselves be utter
" ignorant of the circumstances connected with the
matter, which we are so ready to condemn to pass
our superior judgment upon. "Know thyself" is
wise injunction.

A Sensible Idea.

We find in the Family Friend the following reason
able and sensible idea, which we not only think well
Of but are willing to pledge ourselves with the rest
of our brethren observe with scrpuous PARTICULAR
ty the cash SYSTEM by which arrangement all parties
will be benefited.
The Friend says:-'If the Convention, which is to

not to supply subscriber with paper until it is set

pe Justice to themselves confer real benefit upon the
community. and be entitled to the warmest thanks OF
every individual connected with the Press OF the
Southern States"
It is obvious by this arrangement the advantage
will be mutual to the publisher and patron-he former
would in every case get paid for his labor, Whereas by
the present abominable credit system which has been
so completely interviewer in every branch OF business
publishers of newspapers in general way lose about
one third of what they honestly earn, and OF which
they should receveas their just dues Even BY the most
rrd system Of pay as you 60 there would be neces-
sary some money lost by the Printer, for there is no
plan or way to avoid it that we know Of But the loss
in this case is not comparable to the other for we as

LOWER CAI1FoRN1AA INDEpENpEETS STATE. -
The San Diego Herald, Of the 22d has it fromr
liable authority, that active preparations are on
foot to proclaim the independence Of the PENN
sula territory, and hoist the Bear flag. Don!
Manuel Castro, native Of Monterey, and late
an officer in the Mexican army, it is said has
been silently engaged Of late, in enlisting men
in this and the country of Los Angeles. to pro-,
ceed to Lower California and proclaim the indese:
pendence of that territory. Rumor has j, that
he has been quite successful, and that his follow
ers are NOV daily making their way over the
line in sYall parties, intending to unite at some
given point, and marchupon St. Thomas and la.
Paz. Negrete, the head of the Mexican author
tiles in that conutry, is represented as timid,
man, incapable of resisting well organized Eff
fort. His family have taken refuge in San Diego
from theimpendingsto Castro Isl fthe'opinsss
ion that the few Mexican troops in garrison at'
Santa Thomas and La Paz, will join his stands
ard so soon as he unfurs it. ..s.s.
