Hints for the Season.

Is the corn crop harvested yet? II
not let it be gathered in as soon as posi-
hle; and let every precaution be used TO
preserve the straw bright and clean. II
run through hay cutter, and moistened
over night in hogshead or vat, by throw
ing on pailful or Two of hot water and
then covering close to keep the steam in,
cattle eat it with the same avidity as the
best of hay. Store cattle will winter well
on corn stalks, cut straw and coarse hay,
if little Indian meal be given each
day.
Potatoes, ifnot yet in, should be gath
cred soon. If partially dried after being
dug, there can be no objection, but they
should moi be left long in the sun. Ii in
jures them. We will not undertake to
tell why. Perhaps the starch is in part
turned into sugar. At any rate the pota.
to long exposed to the sun becomes tough,
slrlngy, less tasteful, and we believe, less
nulrlclous, than one not exposed. A po-
tato that remains in the ground over win
ter, if not frozen, very gradually, is al
ways good in the spring, dry and mealy,
much like those which are cooked imme-
diately after coming from the ground in
autumn. This seems like an indication
that the potato should be kept little
moist
The apples are to be gathered. Let
such as are to be long kept be carefully
picked from the tree. The pulp of the
apple may be regarded as bundle Of
cells, packed together in common envel-
opc of its own, filled with juice. Now
if you bluise the apple, some of The cells
are crushed; juice is let out of its envel-
ope some of it comes in contact with
the air; fermentation follows; that part
of the fruit decays; adjoining portions
partake of The disease and the whole is
spoiled. Iflale apples are collected with
out bruises, and are kept in cool place,
little above the freezing point, and moi
to moist, they may be preserved a long
time. Our children should have an ap-
pie or two each day to carry to school, to
eatewith their lupch next summer; and
they will have tif we work it right

OF Napoleon the Great, is now, accord
ing to the French press, mere tool of
Napoleon the Little, In the'Crimea her
infrmity is apparent and her prestige gone
at home, her government humbly bows 10
the diclum sent forth from the Tuilleries,
A French editor thus proclaims the tr-
umph of France over her ancient rival
"The journey of Napoleon 10 London
is the triumph of his name; that of Vic
tory to Paris is the triumph Of France.
Napoleon ILL.,, in forcing the capital of
Great Britain to receive him with cheers
and flowers, with fawning adulation, to
salute him as Emperor and liberator, gain
a victory as brilliant for his uncle's mem
ory as that he aflerward won for France
when he took the Queen of England and
made her kneel before the tomb of the
Imperial Prometheus. Napoleon third
did not go 10 London to receive his Or
ders-he went TO give them. Lord Clar-
endon went to Paris to receive him, and
he carried with him the living pledge that
those orders would be obeyed. As 10
the compliments and courtesies ofthe in
terview, we cannot be deceived by them ;
the courtesy was all on one side, on the

THE PAST.
1T is not what ] might have been.
But what | vet NAV be,


How often do we spend our time ia
vain dependency about youth wasted in
idleness, and years spent in folly or in
misdirected efforts-murmuring about our
want of forelhought, and our neglect Of
opportunities. We seem to think that
there is but one period inlife really worth
improving, and but one opportunity worth
embracing. Thus we continually mourn
over the imperfecIions of the Past, and
neglect to redeem it, as we may by dill
gently improving the Present If we des-
ire useful and influential lives, in the de-
cline of which we can look back with
complacency and gratitude to Him who
alone crowns our efforts with success, we
must work faithfully, conscieniiously and
perseveriugly in the 'living Present
Every moment comes to us fraught with
important results distant they may be,
and imperceptable TO most but yet mo-
mentous in their bearings. How impor-
tant is it, then, that we should labor as.
siduously, remembering past failures only
to draw from them lessons ofinsruction.
Thus the Past may be redeemed and q
brilliant future be opened before us.
'To whom who works and only him
The Past returns again.

Gen.Scott is said to be disappointed

what consideration is unknown, to receive

There was no uncertainty as to the pay,
but questions arose as 10 the emoIuments.
Gen. Scott has sill the chance of or a.
tuity from Congress in consideration of
his long and important services. The
Mexican treaty, by which we added a
a large portion Of the continent to The
Union, was negotiated by his sword rath-

deserves testimonial much more than
