She slept within the gorgeous drapery of the
window as she spoke. and, wiping her eyes ga
zed long and sadly towards the woods that hid
the old house away. She had seen there the
best days of her life. She had Freddy still, and
she had moro flowers now than then. together
with many stylish things undreamed of there,
but alas. she was less happy.
Wealth had brought with it a train of dissi-
pations, and before their false glitter the young
love had faded, and the charm of life was
lost. etN
No more the sunset brought her tired hus-
band from the field, and SO she looked on the
old house and wept.

Tho Best Seed Corn.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I would say so fsr as my
knowledge extends, mixture of thesOregon
and GouId seed Yields better crop than any
othor kind ever saw tried. The goard-seed
is Of a hardish nature aud weighs heavily, whilo
the Oregon is softer and liter, but measureing
mere than enough over tho other varitics, to
take up the deficiencies in weight. BY MAXI
ng mixture ofthese two, we get kind about
halfweigh between them, which think is much
superior to either kind alone. 1t has been four
wears since adopted the above plan. and
fully believe can raise five bushels more to
the acre than ever could of the gourd-sced
alone. If some Of your readers would give il
trial l think they would be able to cmmu-
nicate to you accounts of having raised larger
of corn than they can at present.
would also say little respecting early
plowng for corn. Tho later the ground is left
before broken up the better, ms by so doing wc
get rid Of fmuch ofthe grass, which would other
wise be in the corn. where we plow it early in
the spring, or in the fall previous. One of my
neighboFs, few years since, plowed up his
sod in the fall. and after running over il with
square harrow, he rolled it, and left it thus
until spring, when he put double the work on
/, that the neigbbors did on theirs which was
ploughed later in spring. before he got it in or
der to plant his corn. This corn required dou-
BILE the amount Of labor to tend it also rs tho
Others. 1t was the most grassy piece Of corn
ever saw; at one time it looked as If it would
NOW good swath by harvest timo. If left
alone. / never could SEQ any difference betw-
cen the injury done by the worm on this piece,
than on other pieces around it; therfore have
come the conclusion that grass does not pre-
vent the worm from injuring the corn, at least,
not as much as it does injury to it. When
husking time come, the yield was not as good
as had been anticipated and | believe tho expe-
riment has fully satisfied him as fall or early
spring plowing as have never heard Of his
giving it second trial.-[Germantown Tel.
