4 REsoLUTE WILL.

The ease with which American children
may acquire an education, is not favorable
10 strength Of character. What costs little
is often valued lightly. Where no difficulties
impede, Incidence and effeminacy are often
lostered, which are fatal to all hope Of res.
olute and successful manhood. The Inde-
pendent tells good story Of boy, who in
spite Of the most formidable hindrances, con-
quered eminent success:
Henry Burgett was not quite twelve years

tears fell, when lie knew his papa would be
with him no more, he wept, If possible, more

must leave the pretty cottage, the only hone
they had ever known, and that hereafter he
was TO live with farmer Howard.

puor, and young as YOU are, my boy, you
must now earn YOUR own support. But keep
up a stout heart, you can L. Fie on those

not perceive the grief that was piercing her
own soul.
Farmer Howard was a hard master, and
sorry time had poor Henry during the long
summer days that succeeded this interview
with his mother. II was work, work, with

REMEDY FOR SMUT IN WHEAT.-Dr. Stere
publishes, in The New York Country Gen.
tleman, that soaking wheat, intended for
seed, in solution of Chloride of Lime, is an
effectnal remedy for smut in wheat. The
Doctor has made a series Of Experiments from
which he infers,
|. That wheat seed infected with smut
produces plants, the grain Of which is filled
with similar fungus.
2. That sleeping the infected seed in a
saturated solution OF Glaubcr salts, and
sprinkling il with quick lime. has but little
effect in preventing smut in the future plants.
3. That sleeping the infected seed in a
solution ofchloride Of lime, is nearly specific
in preventing smut in the future plants, and
very much more effectual for this purpose
than the steep Of Gauber salts, so highly
praised by French commission.
The Chloride of Lime has, during a few
wears past, been used as wheat steep BY
several farmers in different districts, and
with satisfactory results.
The solution used is made by mixing one
pound Of Chloride Of Lime in one gallon ol
water. (soft y stirring frequently with stick
or something wooden, for two hours, or till
dissolved. Put the grain to be stepped into
large quan tity Of water. stir frequently,
and remoye all the grain that swim. Pour
off the wafer and add to the seed enough Of
the Chloride of Lame solution to cover ii.
Allow il to remain Two hours, and then dry
with sand, mould, lime, or other powder.
The solution poured off may be used again
and again, or while il lasts.
