Winns Fountain is the place,

Served up in latest style that's known,
All smoking on the boards.
Steaks and scws and vegetables rare,
And butter sweet cream;
Rolls doughnuts cakes, and fresh fruit pics
Well fit for Engands Queen.
The coffee too, so clear and hot,
Prepared of Java best,
Served up with cream and sugar white,
Is drank with hearty zest
Winns Fountain Head hath viands choice
All that is and good;
None can surpass its ample store,
Nor rich and varied board.
This fact robust Aldermen.

That at Winn's Fountain Head and Branch,
They're always suited best.
Then old and young, both grave and CAV,
Let's for the Fountain aim,
The Fountain Head! The Fountain Head!
And choicest meals obtain.

Winm's Branch.

The Fountain is the ''pace of call,''
For bachelors both great and small
But dare they e'er in love to get,
The branch the case has nicely met;
And here with sweethearts or with wives,
May feast and happily their lives.
Our city no such place could boast
Till Winn became the Ladies' host
Who served such dishes to the Fair
That Bachelors themselves came there
And wondered what the move could mean,
The Ladies rushing all to Winn.
The wonder having passed away,
Now from the Branch they cannot stay;
The spirit of the age they feel,
And to the Branch they often steal
With those so lovely, smiling sweet
To spend the hour a-tete-a-tete.

ses, by the following plan: Hav-
ing received from China a speci-
men of Maize of a pearl white col
or, the grains of which were very
small but very beautiful he was
desirious to obtain ths same grain
but of other colors. For this
purpose, he planted by the side
of some of them some American
maize Of a red color. He made
a similar experiment with the
maize of Tusavoro, the grain Of
which is as white as Carolina rice,
and he thus obtained a crop, the
the ears 1f which were about Ia
inches in length, and the grains of
a blue color. Another time he
planted some maze Of the color Of
amber among some of the black
maze of Syria. The ears attained
a length of % inches, and the
grain was of different colors.-
The yellow maze on being planted
near some of the brown maze of
Central America produced some
Of a dark brown color which
ripens eight days sooner than the
other sorts This farmer now
possesses 153 different varieties
of maze, and his object in contin-
uing his experiments is not only
to change the color at will but
also to obtain varieties which
will ripens earlier, as well as
larger and longer ears, and thus
increase the produce.
