Gathering and Storing Apples.

Ingathering apples, too little care is taken
by many to prevent bruising. Apples should
never be shaken from the trees, but should
be carefully picked. To do this with facili-
ty, self-supporting ladder, bag sus uspended
from the persons neck or convenient bas-
ket, are required. If apples are to be kept
they should never be emptied from the bas-
ket into barrel, but should be removed by
hand, land in removing the barrels they should
never be rolled. but should be taken up
bodily and transferred to wagon or boat. II
is unnecessary bruising, consequent upon
rough handling, that causes many apples TO
rot. Apples of good keeping kinds, when
properly handled, may be kept until spring,
when they will command the highest market
prices; whereas, when roughly handled the
same kinds will decay before midwinIer.
In the last volume of the Farmer, we gave
a very complete plan for the construction of
apple and potatoe houses. Those who have
not provided these can have very conven-
lent fruit room in one part of their cellar
For this purpose the dryest and coolest cor
ner ahould be selected. This should be par
titioned off, so as 10 exclude the frost, and
shelves should be SO arranged as to admit Of
circulation of air around the fruit. These
shelves may be placed near together, SO
that large quantity Of fruit can be stored
in room ten feet square,
When it is not convenient TO provide q
room for the purpose, few barrels Of late
keeping apples may be kept in the most per-
feet condition nearly the year round, simply
by carefully picking, and, after they have
remained while, say till January, assert
them into barrels; provide quantitity of
clear sand, thoroughly dry it in large ket-
tie over fire, and when cool turn it into The
barrels, SO as TO fill all the interstices be-
tween the apples, and place them in cool,
dry place in the cellar. A better method
still, is to place them in the barrels with
cork chips from the cork factories. These
could be ground into coarse meal. This is
one oc the best substances for preserving
fruit with which we are acquainted. A few
bushels thus preserved month or two be-
yond the ordinary period, are great con.
venience as well as a luxury in every fam.
lily.
1t should be remembered that apples keer
best in temperature as near as possible tc
80 degrees.-[ Valley Farmer.

will the Grain 60 Forward.

From the N. Y Evening Post, 2lst.
There are more railroads in operations in
the United States to-day than ever before'
and there are larger crops TO bring to mar
ket. But the fear is that for want Of the
convenience Of money, and from the dispo-
sition of farmers to hold back for highor pri-
ces, the delay Of Shipments will throw such
an accumulation on the latter part of the
season, that the whole equipment Of our
roads, day and night, will be insufficient for
the carriage.
Another material fact will add to the de-
lay. The failure of eastesn produce houses
has lessened confidence in shippers. To
meet this difficulty, it has been suggested
that an association of capitalists might join
to guaranty the returns of sales on commits
sion to the shippers. All the wisdom and
ability of our banks5will fail to preserve the
soundness of our financial system, if the
western crops are not brought to the sea
board. Thesfull use flour canals is espe
cially important before winter begins. This
is our true point ofrecuperation, and if wei
used it will strengthen our commercial in
terests beyond the fear Of disaster. 1t ii
also the hinge of recuperatiOn for our rail
roads. They can, at the same time, give W
their rivalry, raise freights and be overbur
dened with work.

Mama, am I Pretty.
"Mama, am prettyP"


"No my dear; but beauty is Of no conse-
quence."
Now what an unnitigated ib, and every
day of that chid's life she will be finding
it out. Why not tell her the truth-that
beauty is of consequence, and is everything
that God has made. Why not tell her that
the eye is irresisltiby fascinated by it; that
handsome child is always more noticed by
stranger than plain one; just as when
one walks in garden, beautiful flower
invites admiration above its fellow; but like
that, ifupon examination it be found scent
less; il it pierces with sharpness the hand
that would caress it; the gazeer plucks il
but to throw it aside, or passes it for one
less pretentious, whose sweetness will en-
dure long after its pale hues shall have
passed away,
Tell her-what children should always
be told-the truth; tell her that bright eyes,
beautiful hair, satin skins, and cimped
limbs are indeed very lovely to look upon;
and it is just as right to admiresthem as it
is to admire the floating beauty ofthe change
full clouds, the stately majesty of the trees,
sweet blush of the rose. 1t is right for
people to wish 10 be pleasing, and it is not
only right but duty, for everybody 10 look
as beautiful as they can. Tell your child
all this but tell her for the higher order OF
beauty, something besides the body must
be de corated.
Tell her that the soul must be washed of
bad passions-the cobwebs of envy washed
away-the dust of selfishness wiped off,
and its chambers aired of the foul atmos-
phere of unchartableness. That its win
6ows must be thrown open wide, that the
Heavenly Dove may enter, and sing per-
petual song, that make the eyes shine with
light borrowed only of heaven; and shall
make the dropping or expand, and stand
erect in the consciousness OF lis spiritual
majesty unabashed in the greatest,
most beautiful, earthly presence-liiting
the brow upon which Immortality is so legi-
bly, written, beautiful in its fearlessness, 10
that Heaven, whose brightest seraph sings
as If it had never dropped the crysalis
which earth is crumbling, atom byshtom, tc
dvst.
Oh, tell your child this-tell her how
resplendent the soul can make the body
How, like light within crystal vase
makes fair what else were dark and dim tt
human sight. Tell her how before its ra
dance men bow down, hushing the ho
breath of worldliness, as before Gods OWL
calm presence. Tell her to tread the eartl
with the triumphant step Of one who is he'll
to all Heaven-second to none!
Oh, have seen such! Lofty yet lowly
No earthly artist could trace their beauty
or sculptor mould their symetry. To heal
the rustic of their garments was to feel th'
sweep OF an angels wing. To look upoI
them was 10 pray. 1t was TO baihe th'
blushing face with repentant tears, and or.
. -unclean, unclean.

THE PERILs OF PARTING.-There is one
warning lesson in life which few of us have
not received, and no book that can call to
memory has noted down with adequate en-
phasis. 1t is ,his-"Beware of pa.ting,"-
The true sadness is not in pain Of parting,
it is in the when and the how you are to
meet again with the face about to vanish
from your view. From the passionate fare
well to the woman who has your heart in
keeping, 10 the cordial good-by exchanged
with pleasant companions at a watering
place, a country house, or the close OF a
days blithe and careless exerlion-a chord,
stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in
every parting, and Times busy fingers are
not praoliced in re-splioing broken ties
Meet again you may; will it he in the SAINT
way9 with the same sympalhies? with the
same sentiments? viii the shuls, hurry
ing on in diverse paths, unite once more
as if the interval had been a dream? Rarely
rareiy.-CBulwer, :

Selecting Seed Corn.

AS we have said before, seed corn
should always be selected in the field. Ii
breeding farm stick, the intelligent, pru-
dent farmer wishes 10 see the animal and
know something Of his good qualities before
lie breeds TO him, whether he be horse,
bull sheep or hog. Ii is equally important
that selections Of the best seeds be made
from which 10 produce a succeeding crop.
Like begets like in The vegetable, as well
as in the animal kingdom. Stalks of corn
from which seed is 10 be selected, should
possess all the characteristics calculated to
produce the greatest crop of the best quail
ty. Many experiments have been made in
selecting corn and other seeds, which clear
ly prove that the product may be increased
and improved twenty, fifty .and even one
hundred per cent, after series of years,
eapd from neglect in this respect, deteriora-
~tion has been almost as great.
The labor of selecting the ears of corn in
the field sufficient for seed is not great
1t can then be secured and preserved SO
that its negotiating principle shall not be in
jured, and it is always ready when wanted
TO plant. We would therefore urge every
farmer to select his corn from such stalks
as are most perfectly developed, affording
the most productive ears Valley Farm

The Virginia Democrats.

The Hon. Robert Hunter next year
vacates his chair in the U. S. Senate,
Thereupon "war exists" among The Virginia
Democrats, as TO who shall sit in it next.
The champions of the respective factions
are the Richmond South and the Richmond
Enquirer.
The Enquirer wants that chair for Gov
Wise, The South declares that Hunter
shant be crowded out. The Enquirer says
then Hunter must hurrah for Buchanan,
and throw up his hat for Walker. The
South replies, Walker is a traitor. The
Enquirer mutters'' Disunionists." The
South retorts, sold fogies and cowards!"
War to the knife, then!'' flores out the
Enquirer. "Give us the head of Walker
bloodly responds the South. Common
rumor says Keit, has bought you up" in
sinuates the Enquirer. Common rumor
lies" boldly retorts the South. The qua
rel spreads. The Charleston Mercury
wakes up and blows blast for secessisn-
its specific in all emergencies. Mississippi
editors look through the dictionary for hard
words TO pelt The President, and hit upon
the happy expedent OF calling him ian
Abolitionist." Thereupon, the New Or
leans Delta pitches into jeff Davis; and
jeff Davis swears he'll reopen the Slave
Trade. So they go, knocking one another
down like row OF ten pins.
Meanwhile the prudent, peaceable old
party organs in the rural districts, like the
Fredericksburg Recorder and the Somhstde
Democrat, venture into the ring, and i'm
ploringIy entreat, Now, do pray, gentle
men, be quiet. There really isn't any qua
rel" ETC., etc., while the Richmond Wing
gleetuliy ciaps its hands like bottle holder
at prize fghtsand eggs on the combatants

him Wise!'-the whole opposition press of
course echo and cry encore.-How it will
end remains 10 be seen. q

PRETTY Coon. Newburypori

PRETrY GooD.-The Newburyport
(Mass.) Herald says:-
The banks, they say, are now like the
negro's moon, which he said was good for
nothing, for it shone on clear nights, when
no body wanted it; and was not to be found
dark nights, when it was most needed.
Just so when money is plenty and can be
had any where; all the banks discount
literally; but when there comes pinch,
money,is scarce, and merchants are failing
they have no money to loan but curtai and
call in from those who have nothing to pay
with.

Those who have read Indians tales Of
Cooper, Simms, Bennett, SC, and have
never seen an Indian squaw, doubtless i'm
agine that among the dusky tribes there are
hundreds OF tall, graceful madens, with
regular features and pretty forms.-We
have recently visited the camps of several
different tribes Of Indians, and seen many
hundreds of their females, and as yet we
have not found one who approaches to grace
or beauty. As general thing they are

the assertion that the author Of the Last Of
