STARCH AND SUGAR.


The two great articles of nourishment
In food, are starch and sugar. In the
selection Of seed, then, get the varieties
that possess most of these substances. In
selecting corn to drill in for fodder. the
sweet corn is the best, as it contains far
more saccharine matter. Cattle like il
far better, and It affords more nourishment.
A larger crop may be raised by dri. ing
in the large Southern corn, or gourd seed,
but it will no, supply an equal amount Of
saeeharine, or nourishing matter.
Different fields may be sowed at differ
ent periods, from the middle of May to
the first of June and thus, if drouth,
or other cause, Injuries one field, or piece
of land, there is chance for the others.
An experienced gambler never would risk
all on one throw of the dice. Let US learn
wisdom even from him, and not risk all
on single crop, or on the time Of plant
ing or sowing the same crop. Some sea-
sons, early sOwed wheat, early planted
potatoes, and early planted corn do the
best-in other seasons, the later planted
and sowed plants do the best. 1t is wis
dom to provide for these uncertainties, by
sowing and planting at intervals, 50 as to
meet every variety of season. = Ohio

PLANT EARLY.


Ifthe spring is cold, and backward, we
often hear the farmers say, s'corn Is better
out of the ground, than in il"
Well, now, friends, you were never
more mistaken in your lives. If the frost
is out of the ground, and the weather
warm enough to sprout it, corn had bettsr
be in the ground. 1t may be kept back,
like a talented step-son, but its energies
are accumulating, and as soon as favor
able opportunity offers, its latent powers
will show themselves.
While the top is kept down by the chill
air, its roots, protected by the earth, ars
spreading, and striking deep, which will
enable it to stand the heat and drought Of
midsummer. r,t5.
Corn tops will not grow much while the
thermometer is below seventy degrees,
but the roots viii, so that they become
disproPortioned to the top. Corn planted
later, will often overtake it in growth, but
the early planted will ripen at least two
weeks earlier than the late planted, and
having so much root is not 50 much in
jured by the drought.
For good, full crop, corn should be-
planted so as to glaze before the middle
of September. You may as wen UNDER
take to ripen water-melons by moonshine,
as corn by the bleak winds Of October

THE DIGNITY OF MECHANICS.

In one of his letters, the Rev. DIR. Ad-
dams said-''St. Paul was mechanic
"a maker of tents from goats hair; and
IN the lecturers opinion he was a model
mechanic. He was. not only thorough
workman at his trade, but was a scholar
I-aperfect master, not only of his native
Hebrew, but of three foreign tongues, a
knowledge of which he obtained by a
close application to study in his leisure
hours while serving his apprenticeship.
1t was the custom, not confined to the
poor classes, but was also practiced by
the wealthy; and it was comman prov
erb among them, that if father did not
teach his son mechanical occupation,
he taught him to steal. This custom
was a wise one and if the fathers of the
present day would initiate the example,
their wrinkled cheeks would not so often
blush for the helplessness, and not un-
frequently criminal conduct of their off
spring. Even if a father intended his
son for one of the professions it would be
an incalculable benefit to that son to in
struct him in some branch of mechanic
ism. His education would not only be
more complete and healthy, but he
might at some future time. In case of
failure in his profession. find bis trade
very convenient as a means Of earning
his bread and he must necessarily be
the more competent in mechanical skill
from a professional education. An cd
ucated mechanic was model mechanic,
while an uneducated mechanic was mere
ly mechanic working under another's
brain. Let the rich and the proud no
longer look upon mechanicism as degra-
ding to him who adopts branch of it
as his calling. 1t is noble calling-ss
noble as the Incidence and inactivity of
wealth is ignoble."

THE WIDOWS ORDEAL
From wOlfert,s ROost
BY WASHINGTON IRVING.

The world is growing older and wiser.
Its institutions vary with its years and
mark its growing wisdom and none
more SO than its modes of investigating
truth, and ascertaining guilt or limo
cence. In its homage, when man wa:
yet a fallible being and doubted the &C.
curacy of his own intellect. appeals were
made to heaven in dark and doubtful
cases of atrocious accusation.
The accused was required to plunge
his hand in boiling oil, or to walk across
red-hot plough-shares. or to maintain his
innocence in armed fight and listed field,
in person or by champion. If he passed
these ordeals unscathed, he stood ac-
quilted, and the result was regarded as
a verdict from on high.
1t is somewhat remarkable that, in
the gallant age of chivalry, the gentler
sex should have been most frequently
the subjects of these rude trials and per.
ilous ordeals and that, too, when as
sailed in their most delicate and vulner-
able part-their honor.
In the present very old and enlight.
ened age of the world, when the human
intellect is perfectly competent to the
management of its own concerns, and
needs no special interposition of heaven
in its affairs, the trial by jury has su-
perseded these superhuman ordeals and
the unanimity of twelve discordant minds
is necessary to constitute a verdict
Such unanimity would, at first sight,
appear also 10 require miracle from
heaven; but it is produced by simple
device of human ingenuity. The twelve
jurors are locked up in their box, there
to fast until abstinence shall have so
clarified their intellects that the whole
jarring panel can discern the truth, and
concur in a unanimous decision. One
point is certain, that truth is one, and is
immutable-until the jurors all agree,
they cannot all be right.
1t is not our intention, however, to
discuss this great judicial point, or 10
question the avOwed superiority of the
mode of investigating truth, adopted in
this antiquated and very sagacious era.
1t is our object merely to exhibit to the
curious reader, one of the most memora-
bic cases of judicial combat we find in
the annals of Spain 1t occurred at
the bright commencement of the reign,

STARVATION PRICES.

4 f..
II is scarcely to be expected that ano-
ther year can witness such abundant crops
in Great Britain, as the past; and when
we consider the vast number of men taken
from the ranks of the producers in Eu-
rope to those of consumers merely, as well
as the vast fields from which England
formerly exported so much of her bread.
stufs, and to which the war now gives
her no access, it is evident that present
high prices must continue. Indeed, un-
less the state Of things is much changed
in our own land, they are but the precur.
sors of still higher prices, if not Of an
absolute famine. And unless we raise
far more than we did last year, we shall
not be able to live ourselves on the pro-
ducts of our own wide lands; aside from
the fact that there must be an immense
drain upon US for the foreign market.
Our present reserves of breadstuffs are
very light-indeed, it would seem scarce
ly large enough to carry Us through till
next harvest. This matter is worthy the
attention of agriculiurists.
No man need fear to grow just as 1s1ek
as he possibly can. Every acre should
be employed, and in the best way. You
cannot fill your granaries too full; you
cannot reduce prices, with all you can
put into the market next year, much, If
at all, below what they are at present; it
will indeed require every grain you can
produce to prevent their raising to de-
gree that will be equivalent to famine

RETURN OF SPRING.

know by the song that the blue-birds sing;
I know by the streamlet's voice,
That the rose-wreathed forms of the velvet Spring
Der the uplands now rejoice;
I know by the scent of the primrose pale
By the viOlets azure eye,
That the sprite of Spring has been in the vale,
That the Winter has said Goodbye"
I know by the hum of the bee that flies
To the sweet-leafed maple there,
That the buds have opened their dewy eyes
At the kiss of the warm south air;
know by the trout, as he all day plays
On the rocks beneath the mill,
That the gentle foot of Spring now strays,
Warm and soft o'er stream and hill.
And know by the bOb'link's early song,
As it echoes clear and wild;
By the winds they sport in glee along,
That the Queen OF Spring has smiled:
know by the dogwood's gorgeous bloom;
By the crsbtree's gorgeous dress;
By the hawthorn's delightful rich perfume,
That they've felt Springs csress.
know by the coo of the timid dove,
At the mornings sunny glow,
That Spring has come with wreath of love,
Where long lay the hidden snow.
know by the breath of thousand flowers;
By the glad song of the brooks,
That Spring has come with her sun and showers,
Ger the Wild woods quiet nooks.
And know by the young lambs careless play
On the mountains grassy side,
That Spring now has spread her mantle gay
Ger the wild wood far and wide.
know the sky as it bends sbove
Its soft ether veil of light,
That Spring has spread bright robe Of love
Ger the mountains far blue height.
1 know by the song that the field lark sings,
As he mounts up from his nest,
And futters aloft on his airy wings,
With dew on his golden breast.
That Spring has come with her thousand dyes,
On the wild landscape to dwell,
And scatter warm sunbeams down from the skies,
Over field, and wood, and dell
I know by the breeze that comes from the south
AT hush of the pleasant day;
know by the notes that trembling forth
From the pe-Eit on the spray,
That the Goddess of Spring has come again
In her dress of blue and gold;
For flowers and birds on the meadow and plain
Their orgies Of thankfulness hold.

Each leafet is tiny scroll
Inscribed with holy truth,
A lesson that around the heart
Shnnld keen the dew of youth:
Bright missals from angelic throngs
In every by-way left,
How were the earth Of glory shorn
Were it of flowers bereft
They trenble on the Alpine heights,
The fssured rock they press,
The desert wild with heat and sand,
Shares, too, their blessedness
And vhereso'er the weary heart
Turns in its dim despair,
The meek-eyed blossom upward looks
Inviting it 70 prayer. r
