Miss Heron, at Wallack's theater is as popular as

The manager that the attraction of this
performance does not seem to diminish, other novel

repeated until there are signs OF diminution
of the popular enthusiasm with which the public has
invested the distinguished actress.

as Miss Heron throws herselfn the arms of Armand

Mons. Duyal gave way, and both artists preciptated
upon the floor Miss Heron rose and left the stage,

anxious as to the amount of injury the performers
had sustained. The object of their socitude ap.

a THOUGHT FOR PARENTs.-A child beginning to
read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because he
reads Of names and things which are very familiar, and
one year is worth q quarters schooling to a child, and
every father must consider that substantial information
is connected with advancement. The mother Of u fam.
lily, being one of its heads, and having a more immediate
charge Of children, should herself be instructed. A
and is braced for any emergency. Children, amused by
reading or study, are, of course, considerate and more
easily governed. How many thoughtless young men
have spent their earnings in a tavern or grog shop, who
ought to have been reading? How many parents who
never spent twenty dollars for books for their families
would have given thousands to reclaim a son or daughter
who had iguorantly and thoughtlessly fallen into temp
tation,

The following is an account Of the extraordinary es.
cape from drowning Of Capt. Stevens, a Massachusetts,
pilot, who, while alone on deck, was knocked into the
sea by the accidental swinging Of the boom of his boat :
Almost Immediately after his companions had retired
below, as he was standing in the quarter with the spy.
glass to his eye, the main boom jibed over, striking him
in the back Of the neck, aud sweeping him into the sea.
Instantly the boat filled away, and sailed off with a six
knot breeze. He turned in pursuit but one hundred
yards swimming satisfied him that that was useless. He
hallooed but the noise of the sails, the rushing of the
waters, and the intervening decks, shut off all commune
cation. There he was in the midst Of the ocean, the
boat r~eceding, aud no friendly sail in sight. It is not
desirable to die, and lie lay for some time upon the sur
face, when, by and by, five miles away, a sail appears
standing towards hint is his only hope a faint hope,
but the last. He did not swim to her, but reserved his
strength and when she was within two miles, it was
evident that she was going a long way to the windward.
tic then cOolly-oh, how can a man be cool with the
deep water below and nought but the deeper heavens
above-coolly he struck out to head her of. For three
quarters of a mile or more, he SWAN for dear life but
now he begins to fail. His legs are already cold and
stiff, and be hangs down deep, the waves breaking to his
mouth. IT'S the last chance; be raises his head and
shouts; and a wonran-a woman's ears are always open
10 the cry Of distress. God bless her says, 6 | bear
IA voice! All hands look round. 1t is now or never;
and as II last effort he stretches himself aboye the waves
and shouts-'I am drowning!' They hear-they see;
ease eff sheets! up helm J! Man the boat !! 1t is
done as quick as said-quicker than written Il shall

Is THE SEED Corn SELEcTED.-Now is the time to
attend to it. Look out the most forward, thrifty stalks,
where there are two or three good ears on each. Let
these ripen throughput practicable, more than the
general crop, which should be cut before the stalks are
dry, in order to make the most of them for fodder.
Select only such ears as are entirely filled out at the tips
and butts with plump kernels. Let these be kept in a
dry place over Winter. The old plan of braiding them
in tresses, and hanging them up, is by no means a bad
one, though some may think it troublesome where fifty
or a hundred bushels of seed corn is wanted. 1t pays
just as we'll, proportionally, to expend time and care for
a large amount Of seed, as where only a few ears are
wanted. Proper care in the selection of the best ears
will not only improve the quality, but also the quantity
of the next crop. And further, a little extra care in
ripening and keeping seed dry, may save an extra plant
ing next Spring-perhaps save the loss Of a crop
