PASSING OFF TIME.

How often do we hear of young men en-,
gaging in this and that pursuit to pass of
the time. Ifayoung man engages in some
course not generally approved, such as drink
ing, gambling, &c., and he is reproved for il
by his seniors, he excuses his folly by saying
that he was 'only passing off the time
Time lays heavily, does it? Loiter about
the streets and corners in ideness, whiting,
smoking and chewing, and in less time than
you think, you will find the time for improve
ment and moral culture hopelessly passed
Time drags, does it? Go to the gambling
hell then, stake your money and your homo,
there-rattle the dice-strike the billiard
ball-shufle the cards, and in little while
you will look wistfully back to the time, and
money, and honor forever lost.
Time burthens you, does it? Haste to the
grog-shop aud drink the poisonous compounds
set before you. Treat your fellows and be
merry. The days have twenty-four hours
and tomorrow will be new day. Keep
drunk till tomorrow, and you will soon see
Time flying away in the distance with your
all, even your life, your soul and hope Of
Heaven on its elevating wing.
Remember! Time fies,' and it would be
wise to never strive to pass it off. A moment
is but moment, and it is golden. Secure
them all for in the end you may find you
are none too we'll provided for the journey
to another world, where time has passed in
deed into Eternity.

SMUT ON WHEAT.

Smut seems to be parasitic fungus, of
which there are several varieties, as on In
dian corn, wheat etc. The black dust of ma:
tured smut is to be regarded as its seeds,
each particle of which, however light and
evanescent is capable of terminating and
producing its kind when brought into fa-
vorable circumstances. 1t is difficult to say
precisely how these seeds find their way into
the receptacles of growing wheat. But it is
probable that they adhere to the kernels of
wheat when sown and We know thatin some
way they are carried upward with the grow
ing plant; and are developed at the base of
the newly forming kernels, simultaneously
with the bursting of the spike from its sheath,
or perhaps little before the head makes its
appearance. From this time the fungus
grows and developes itself more or less rap.
idlv, as the weather favors or otherwise,
drawing its nutriment from the plant, thus
partially depriving the forming wheat of its
appropriate food, as we'll as insinuating a
hurtful ingredient.
Now, on the supposition that the smut
in wheat comes from sporulas (smut seed)
distributed with the seed wheat, which we
suppose to be correct, it follows, that if you
could wash the seed before sowing, perfect
ly clean, there would be no smut in the
crop, for however warm, damp and lowry the
season, smut will not grow, unless there is
seed for it to grow from. But it is impossible
to secure perfect cleanliness from these spo-
rules or smut seeds. They are too minute
to be all washed away and their vitality is
not destroyed by pure water. Hence the
Importance of washing seed wheat in some
solutions that will destroy the vitality Of
such oftAe sporules as fail to be washed out.
Salt, plaster, quick lime, arsnic, sulphate
of copper and other things have been recon-
mended. Tie first is always at hand, and
the next two are seldom far absent from the
farm; and we believe that these are sufici-
ent. If the seed be first washed in pure
water, then in weak brine, of say one quart
of salt to a pail full of water, and then dried
in plaster or quick-lime, (the latter not to be
used too fresh nor very freely, lest it injure
the vitality of the wheat,) We think that
there will be little danger from smut, and
that the operation will be favorable rather
than otherwise to the termination and early
growth of the seed wheat.-Plow, Loom &
AnrH.

ciplinarian. He was almost insanely proud,
vain and ambitious. I never saw a man
whose heart so painted after glory and fame
as his He was perfectly insensible to fear,
and courted danger as lover woos his bride.
He had been married only few months
to lady of surprising beauty and charms,
but he gave up his young bride for his am
bition.
He had resolved "to do or die, TO come
back covered with glory, OF to die at the
cannon's mouth. He would have charged
his regiment upon ten thousand men,
While wounded and almost dying, he went
on litter ten or twelve miles, with guard
of only dozen men, when the enemy was
on both sides of him, and he seemed to take
pleasure in the danger of the adventure
The battle was coming on and he was then
commander of the Palmettoes, but he was
fast dying from his wound, and his soul was
in agony-not at dying, for he dreaded not
death, but because he could not die on the
field of battle. I was one of his escort on
this adventure, and T parted with him [ con:

hero, had no attachment for him. never

Gus to his election he was little known and
not distinguished. He had the good fortune,
however, to have won the favor of lady OF
distinction and influence, and mainly by her
interest and efforts in his favor he was elect
cd. He had been militia officer for some
time, and he was the best tactician and drill
officer in the regiment And, in fact, as
tactician he had no superior in the army,
even among the oldest regular officers. He
was an admirable officer and good man.
He was stout, short, and aldermanic in per
son, lively, hum%ous, and pleasant in dis
position, of good heart, and tender emotions
He was also very brave ana chlValrous
man.
For the perfect drill and discipline Of the
Palmettoes, and for much Of their spirit and
good conduct, they and the State were in
debted to him. Butler and Dickinson haV-
ing been killed at Churubusco, the command
devolved upon him, and he commanded the
Palmettoes at Chepultepec and Belen. He
led them gallantly, and wasseverely wound
ed at Belen. He commanded the regiment
until the close of the war. He is the only
survivor of the field officers. He is now
citizen of New Orleans, and Commission

JERUsALEM.-The Jerusalem correspon-
dent of the Boston Post graphically des-
cribes the ruin and desolate condition Of the
Holy City. Hesays:
The women, clothed from head to foot in
white sheets, with their faces concealed by
black veil, resemble so many ghosts just
risen from their subterranean abodes; more
especially as they have a great fancy for
cemeteries, where they daily congregate to
howl. No sound of youth-there are no
more boys in the streets-no sound of wheels
there are no carriages-the dogs, NANCY
and wolfsh, snarl and snap when you disturb
them in their daily work as scavengers, asd
make the livelong night hideous with their
contentions-the very birds do not sing, but
cry to each other with dissouant chirp or
complain, with harsh murmurs, From the
horrors of the cityif wepass to the environs,
we find naught but bare rocks-stones and
dust bereath-the bright sun, reflected from
every object, burns into the brain--no grass,
no trees, no green thing-the promenade
cemeetries-the seats are whited sepulchres
Here have been buried whole generations of
Jews; here are the bones of the Assyrian,
the Egyptian, the Chaldean, the Persian,
the Greek, the Syrian, the Saracen, the
Crusader, the Turk. In fine, Jerusalem is
nought but Heap, of mouldering bones
and shattered houses.

THE CUNNING THRUsH.-There ismuch
more intellect in birds than people suppose.
An instance of that occurred the other day
at slate quarry belonging to friend from
whom we have the narrative. A thrush,
not aware of the expansive properties of gun
powder, thought proper to build her nest on
ridge of the quarry, in the very centre of
which they were constantly blasting the
rock. At first she was very much discom-
posed by the fragments flying in all direc-
tions, but still she would not quit her chosen
locality. She observed that bell rang
whenever a tarin was about to be fired, and
that at the notice the workmen retired to
safe positions. In a few days, when she
heard the bell, she quilted her exposed
situation and flew down to where the work
men sheltered themselves, dropping close to
their feet. There she would remain until
the explosion had taken place, and then
return to her nest. The workmen observed
this, narrated it to their employers, and it
was told to visitors who came to view the
quarry. The visiters naturally expressed a
wish to witness so curious a specimen of in
tellect but as the rock could not always be
blasted when visiters came, the bell was
rung instead, and for few times answered
the same purpose. The thrush flew down
close to where they stood, but she preceived
the change, and it interfered with the pro-
cess of incubation the consequence was
that afterwards when the bell was rung, she
would peep over the ledge to ascertain ifthe
workmen did retreat, and if they did not
she would remain where she was.-London

THE OLD MAN.

There is hardly a more beautiful lyric IL
he language than the following by OL1vEF
VENDALL HOLMES:
saw him once before,
AS he passed by the door,
And again,
The pavement stones resound,
As he totters Ger the ground,
With his cane.
They soy thatin his prime,
-, Fer the pruning knife Of time
Cut him down;
Not better man was found,
BY the crier on his round,
Through the town. .-
But now he walks the streets
And he looks on all he meets,
So forlorn;
And lie shakes his feeble head,
And seems as if he said
They are gone
The mossy marbles rest
On the lips that he has press'd,
In their bloom;
And the names he loved to hear,
Have been carv'd for many a year,
On the tomb.
NV rrandmama has said
Poor old lady she is dead,
Long ago
That he had Roman nose,
And his cheek was like rose
In the snow;
But now his noseis thin
And IL hangs upon his chin,
Like a staff;
And a crook is in his'back
And melancholy crack,
In his laugh.
know it is a sin,
For me to set and grin,
At him here,
But his old three corner'd hat,
And breeches and all that,
Are so queer.
And if I should live to be,
The last leaf on the tree,
In the spring, -.
Let them smile as do now,
At the old forsaken bough,
Where cling.
