How TO BE A MAN.-When Carlyle was asked by young friend to point out what course of reading he thought best to make man, he replied in his usual characteristic manner: It is not books alone, or by books chiefly, that a man becomes in all points man. Study to do faithfully whatsoever thing in your actual situation, then and now, you find either expressly or tacitly laid down to your charge-that IS to stand to your post; stand in it like true soldier. Silently devour the many chagrins of it-all situations have many-and see you aim not to quit 1t, without doing all that is your duty"

CORN CRoP--sUMMER CULTURE.

Cold and rainy weather during much
of the, past month, caused a good deal of
delay and difficulty among the farmers
in putting in as much corn as they had
intended Much has been planted when
the ground was too wet, and more still has
been got In very late-indeed there is
much to be planted after this date-1st
June. In this climate, corn well put in,
ION good ground the first week in June,
commonly does well; and as whole our
corn crop Is one that aseUer fails. Still
there is every reason to believe that the
average yield per acre of this crop the
present year will be less than usual, ow-
ing to the causes just stated, especially
with farmers who have attempted to cul-
ativate more acres than they can manage
properly.
70 The heavy rains have rendered most
corn lands too solid and cold for the corn
to start freely, and the first dry weather
viii render the surface quite hard, ex-
acepting light bottom lands hence an ex-
ira amount of labor and care will be re-
,guired in summer cultivation. Clayey

s Sereye Drouh will be likely to occur
during this or the coming month, and
we advise farmers to prepare for it, by
securing mellon surface to their corn.
grounds, as o as possible This will
check the evaporation of the supply of
moisture now in the soil, and enable the
young plants to get a good start, so as to
be able to bear the trial when it comes.

more than is unavoidable; and after once
