SEEDS OF PLANTS.

The seeds or germs of vegables contain
the Embryo OF the future plant, in an invol-
cure or pericarp within which arc contain
cd quanium SuGGt of oil, farina and mu-
cilage 10 assist in its development, when
placed, under favorable circumstances, in
the soil which is destined TO be the medium
Of its future growth and maturaiiOn. These
elements also contribute 10 maintain the vi
,aliiy Of the germ, il, indeed, they are not
iden,ic with il, and 10 maintain the embIyo
until such time as il is ready, or in a condi-
tionto throw out these minute iili0uenIs or
ramilica,iOns which at subsequent period
are 10 be elaborated into the perfect plant.
The more full and plump the seed, the
more rObus, and healthy, as general thing
will be the plan, 10 which i, gives BIRTH
II is therefore OF lhs u,mOs, importance in
selecting seeds, 10 secure such as are well
filed and stored with the oil, farina aud
mucilage upon which so very much de
pends in the future development, Of the
seeds, as well as in the final success and
maiuTaticn Of the plants or crops expected
from them. Poor seed should never be
sowed where good can be obtained. |, is
better TO pay au exOrbi,an, price for the lat
ter, than 10 have the former for nothing.

BONES AS A MANURE.

Some who have tried bone dus, and
crushed bones as stimulan, OF vegetation,
have no, found the resul, equal 10 their ex'
pectation. This result may be attributed
to various causes. In the first place the
method OF applying bone dus, is a consid'
Grafton OF importance. II the weather and
soil be dry, little or no advantage can rcas.
onably or rationally be expected from this
application. A certain degree Of humidity
as well as warmth is essential 10 their favor
able action, and where these circumstances
10 no, unite in concurrence it is fatuous 20
expec, beneficial results. II bone dus, be
mois,ened with urine, and mixed with an
equal volume OF wood ashes aud placed in
a mois, and warm soil, or il the dust be APP
piled singly by itself in slch a medium,
there can be no question but that It will
prove a most energetic stimulant 10 most
vegetables. II is cheap fertilizer, requir-
lug bu, little labor or expense in the trans
porIaiiOn, and is eminen,ly adapted for con.
'erring fertility upon such elevated uplands
as cannot be easily reached by teams con-
Teying the more pOnderdus aud bulky ele-
men,s Of fertilization. Bone dust acts more
Immediately than crushed bones, bu, for a
less prOtracted period, the durability Of pre-
pared bones, when used as manure, being
in the ratio OF the degree Of disiniegration,
+Or fneneis. Ga turnips, beans, and, in.
deed, mos, descriptions ol garden esen-
tents, but more particularly, perhaps, the
OTdure, bone dust, or bones in any Of their
prepared states, is probably the most salu-
tary, the mos, invigOra,ing and the mos,
economical pabulum ,ha, can be applied.

Scions may be cot in the antumn or winter,
and preserved in the mos, eiIectual manner
by simply packing them in moss, or boxes
filed with damp sand. They should be
deposited, aher packing, in some place
where there will be no danger from sudden
alterations Of temperature, and where the
degree Of heat will be as equable as cir
cums,ances will admit. Excessive humid
iiy will also prove injurious il not fatal /;
but degree OF moisture sufficient TO soften
the moss, and TO consolidate, bat no, actual
ly TO we, the sand, is no, only admissible,
bat necessary. Grape cuttings may also 90
preserved in the same manner, and when
necessary, may, with care be transported
to any distance without, injury, when prop
erly packed for the purpose. Cuttings and
slips, rs well as seeds, can generally be OBJ
tained during win,er, and kept ready for use
in tho Spring.

A FEARFUL DEATH.BED.

The scene OF my frs, pastoral laboTs was
a thriving village Of abOu, 400 souls con-
timing three churches, and seven or eight
stores whero spiri,uors liquors were sold,
three Of which were dignifed by the name
of Tavern, and so recognized by the law
which gave 10 them its ample protection.
The history Of those three ,ayerns, IL wit
ten, would make an argument in favor OF a
prohibitory law, which all the legal author
hy in the land could no, gainsay. Many a
broken hear; yet weeps ou, its secre, soT-
rows over hopes which have there been
shattered. Many widow looks to those
haun;s Of inlamy as the scene where her
husband forsO, his plighied vows. aud en-
tered the path that led him 10 drunkards
grave. Many mother s,ill nouns over
buried hopes, which but for those scenes Of
dissipation might have been the supper, and
comfort Of her declining Yeas.
Early in the WashingiOnian movements,
this place became the theatre Of active op.
eraiions among the friends the Temper

were made TO ares, the progress Of the evil
which was sending'such numbers TO drunk,

dueed TO sign the pledge was man whom, |
had regarded as being utterly beyond any
hope Of even partial reform. L. was no.
iOriOus for his incompetence. The tavern
was his constant, resort, where he spen, his
time and his money. Scarcely day pass

shaven face. his matted locks, his senseles:
and strange eye, his reelins form, fitting

of the mos, sanguine friend OF the cause

NICE MEMBER OF CONGRESS. senior
editor OF tho Louisville Journal was in
Washington for somo weeks previous to tho
recent adjournment Of Congress. lie gives
the following
"a couple Of merry fellows, ono of them
distinguished member Of Congress from
Southern State, and the other distinguish
cd cx.editor from Kentucky, concocted let
ter purporting to DO addressed by young
lady to a very inc.looking gentleman. It
was got up in Grs;-ratc style. Tho pretend
cd lady set forth therein, tina. she had sew
cral times seen the gentlemen she was ad-
dressing, that she was captivatcd by his ilno
face and manly form, that her heart was
deeply touched by all she saw and heard of
him, and tha, she must mako his acquain-
tancc before his departure from tho city /;
that she hoped and prayed he would forgive
her seeming boldness, rs Il was tho FIRST i'm
prudent act Of her lfc, that she had always
moved and was still moving in tho highest
circles Of the capital, that she would DO up
on certain square Of certain street at
precisely l2 o'clock on the following day, in
dress which she described with great par
ticularity, and that 10 hoped and trusted
he would meet her and thus afford her an
opportunity Of brief personal intercourse
with tho idol OF her heart. The two wsgs
had between thirty and forty copies Of this
letter written by q female friend Of theirs,
and they sent these copies to between thirty
and forty members Of Congress, selecting
those OF course who were known to enter.
tain very exalted opinion Of their own
personal destinations.
Every thing being thus arranged, the two
jokcrs called upon US and another young
gentleman, explained what they had done,
and invited US to get into their carriage,
ride with them to tho point Of assisnation
and SEQ the sights. We unhesita,ingly con-
scnted, and we saw sights sure enough
Riding upon the designated square, We be-
held tho whole thirty OF forty members,
Northern men and Southern men, Wings,
Democrats and Know-Nothings, walking to
and fro, all gazing in every direction and at
every female figure to discover the object Of
their anxious search.
We concluded that if few more copies
Of the letter had been sent to members Of
tho House Of Representatives, tho House
would have had to adjourn for tho want Of a
quorum.

our native land. We would rescue our
country f:om the tyraunical grasp Of Rum,
tho 'ell destroyer Of tho peace, happiness,
health and lives Of our thousands, from tho
drsrading ihraldom Of slavery, and tho
clutches Of a corup;ing aud debasing
Priesthood. Who but he who Is los, 10 all

business OF our cause' Let our enemies
gnash their teeth and growl. They arc ca.
pable OF no higher manifestation. All wo
have TO do is TO put.our fingers to our ears
and pass along our even course and not
suffer them 10 pull US down to level with
themselves. There are thousands ofhonest,
noble and brave hearts all over tho State ut
this moment beating in unison with tho
sentiments we utter. Think you, they will
suffer tho disgrace Of defeat, and allow
their proud honor, hitherto unstained with

a mighty reform has been brough, about,
moi by any stroke Of policy or ephcmeral
eruption Of popular feeling, but by the calm
deliberate judgment, and action OF the mass
Of the people. A Prohibiioy law was tho
necessity OF the times, and Maine enjoys
the high felicity Of frs, seeing and meeting
this necessity. Shall Maine re,race her
steps and remove the protection she has
thrown over The deienccless and pcrmi, tho

migh'ies, wicked head, they will roll up
