Save the Best Seeds.

The season has arrived when some Of
The seeds are ripe. and little care is
necessary in their preservation, not only
to secure them from waste, bui to pre-
serve only the best for future so wing
Farmers never think Of raising a puny,
badly formed calf, pig or lamb to be kept
as breeder, but make all, animals pass
the scrutiny Of severe Judgment before
they decide to Propagate from them.-
The preservation Of early, large and per-
fec. seeds for continuing crops is no less
important than Of retaining The best form
'sed AMI most thrifty animals
A gentleman IN Maryland gathered
the earliest and largest heads Of wheat
from a field and sowed them, gathering
the best and earliest of their produce and
sowing again. and continued the process
three or four years. Ia recent visit to
that State, we collected some heads
which are now hanging by US, and mea-
sure, beard and all 10 inches in length +;
the grain heads being inches.
This wheat is known by the name of
the CODE WHEAT, taking the name Of the
S0utiCHdu WIZ udd W hlo pains lnCrea-
ed the quantity and quality SO much.
We cut the samples before us from the
farm of Thomas Blandon, Esq, of Wash
ington, one of the best cuIlivators OF that
region, and who is setting the Maryland
ers a fine example. '7t
% A gentleman in Essex county went
through similarprocess with onion seed,
until seed of his raising readily sold for
four dollars pound, while common seed
was selling at fifty cents. The great
improvement in the crop from these SEEDS
justified the cutivator in paying this
great price.
In our farm stock there are always
ZONE that grow up rapidly and strong,
taking the lead in health and vigor from
the hrst II is so with plants. A proper
Consideration will be given to this fact.
There will be a succession of seeds
coming TO maturity un;il tne Indian corn
harvest Is over, and we are confident
that more attention to this point will give
US better crops hereafler-[N. E. Farm.

Then pass this along,
Think of Me.

When pleasures cup is sparkling high,
When friends around thee throng;
-., When hearts are light with playful mirth,
And lighter wakes the song;
When, counting DER the many joys.
Recalled by memory,
If twill not dim thy pleasure then,
Oh, give one thought to me.
-, At dawn, when frst Aurora's light
Reflects Ger hill and dale,
And giids the dew-washed lily's head
- That sleeps within the vale;
When first the lark shall plume his wing.
-.s And soar from bondage free,
To MARBLE forth his merry notes
Then give one thought to me.
And when the shades of evening are
m Fast fading into night
An honr that well seems made for thought,
And quiet is delight;
At midnights deep and solemn hour,
When on the Bonded knee,
gi Thy hands appraised to heaven in prayer,
Oh, then, then think of me
If could claim the richest gem
That now lies in the sea,
I'd rather far, than have that pearl,
Have one kind thought from thee;
If all the joys of this bright world,
syaT Were now spread out to me,
And were told to make a choice
I'd ask one thought from thee.

LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL Women
have a much nicer sense Of the beautiful
than men. They are, by far, the safer
umpires in matters of propriety and grace.
A mere school girl will be thinking and
writing about the beauty of birds and
flowers, while her brother is robbing the
nests and destroying the flowers, Here
in is a great natural Law, that the sexes
have each their relative exellencies and
DEFICIENCIES, in the harmonious union Of
which lies all the wealth of domestic hap
piness. There is no better test of moral
excellence, ordinarily, than the keenness
of ones sense, and the depth Of ones
love, of all that is beautiful.

LABOR HONORABLE. The man who is
able 10 work and does not, is TO be pilied as
well as despised. He knows nothing Of
sweet sleep and pleasant dreams. He is a
miserable drone, aud eats a substance he
does not earn. Perhaps he thinks it is not
genteel to work. HIS gemiIIty is the most
worthless and contemplate of all gentilty.

Love FOR WIFE. Show love for your
vile, and your admiration of her, not in nom
sensical compliment; not in picking up her
Handkerchief, or her glove, or in carrying
her fan; not though you have the means, in
hanging rrinkes or baubles upon her; not IN
making yourself fool Ivy winking at and
seeming pleased with her foibles or folIies
or faults; bur show them by acts Of real
goodness towards her; prove, by unequivo-
cal deeds, the high value you set OIL her
health and lite and peace of mind let your
praise of her go the full extent of her deserts,
but lei it be consistent with truth and with
sense, and such as TO convince her of your
sincerity. He who is the haterer of his
wife, only prepares her ears for the hyperbol-
ical stuff Of others. The kindest nppellaIion
that her Christian name affords, is the hest
thar you can use, especially before faces
An everlasting my dear is but a sprry COM
pensation for the want of that sort of love
that make The husband cheerfuly toll by day,
break his rest by night, endure all sorts Of
hardships, if the life or health of his wife de-
msnd il. Let your deeds, and not your
words, carry 20 her heart daily and hourly
confirmation Of the fact, that you value her
health and life and happiness beyond all
other, things 10 this world and lei this he
manifest 10 her, particularly at those times
wlien life is more or less in danger.

FLAT ROOFS FOR HOUSES. The following
suggestions in regard to the advantage Of
fiat roots for buildings, we take from the
Scientific American:
All the new houses which have been built
in New York recently, have what are termed
fiat roofs that is, the roof is nenry level,
and sanrs hut slightly from one side TO the
other. The old huge peaked roofs are fast
disappearing; we wonder how they ever
came into use. The inventor OF them must
nave been man full of conical IDEAS. The
liat ronis are covered with TN aud well paint

venlent in every respect. We advise all
