were consigned to penitrnce and tribulation

Of this interesting production was obtained
from Texas, having been originally produced
from the Surroundings Of an Egyptian num-
nv. Thus, after CESSATION OF three thou
sand years, the earth brings forth this corn
in its second birth, to contribute to the sup
port of . new civilization; and. by its im-
mense produ:tiveness, to sustain new pop
ulation in New World, soon to be as dense
a. that which peopled the valley of the Nile
So immensely productive is this corn under
the culture Of Mr.. Sehrack, and which is on
~ an evidenc of what it has been, and NAV
