HOW MUSIC rs MADE UP.

: Mr.. Taylor, of the Chicago Journal, ha:
a most beautiful thought about music
which it would be positive sin to with
hold from circulation.
1t is curious thought. he says, that the
great translatoTs of the dialect of Heaven
the Mozarts. and Handels, and Jubals Of
all tine--have caught their notes from the
hammers of Tubal Cain, or the murmur Of
running streams, or the winds signing among
the reeds, Or the songs of singing birds
that should there bc 4 Bird Convention,
upon a summers day, by flowing river,
near ringing forge; and some masterpiece
that has rolled tide of melody through
mighty minister's, were performed, its author
would be pronounced faithful listener
only this and nothing more How the
robin would claim its warblc, and the brown
thrasher recognize its own; that bell-note
Robert o Lincoln would catch up and re-
peat, and the quail whistle back its little
share of the song. The soft signing winds
would echo tone, now and then; the stream
through the reeds murmur on with its own; !;
the'hammers beat out the battle-like strain,
and the rain on the roof wash away whole
bar of the score
So. when the Anthem was ended, it
would all be drifted, like the down of the
thistle. back to Nature and Labor again.
The lark would go up with a carol, and the
little ground sparrow fly away with note.
and the music be scattered abroad.

CORN FOR FOOD.

Many farmers pursue altogether too hap
hazard method of providing themselves
with seed corn. The crop of corn in field
will be much less where seed comes up bad
" and where there arc hundred of vaean- .
eies in places where corn stalks ought to be.
We believe it to be not en- uncommon case
that a farmer lOoses at least five bushels Of
corn to the acre on account of poor seed
The loss throughout the entire West must
therefore be immense. And yet with lit
tie attention there is really no difficulty in
providing good seed In the month of Sep
tenlber, when the husks on most of the ears
of corn begin to whitcn, showing a com
mencement of the ripening of the grain. 90

Fin husiSing them, leave two or three husks,
I for the purpose of braiding seueral ears to-
gether. Sespenaed these over poles. affixed
in some Of the out buildings, and let them
remain till planting time in spring. This
method Of securing good seed corn has been
known to us from our boyhOOd. As proof
of the excellency of this plan, We have now
on hand two or three communications Civ
ing the practical experience Of good farmers
who have tried it.
One correspondent writes US from Yellow
Springs Ohio. saying that he lately met
with a Mr.. James Justice, an old farmer
from Indiana, 20 years Of age who stated
he had uniformly supplied himself with
seed corn in the manner above related for
more than thirty years and that he never
failed in having good seed; that his corn
plants in spring, when first pushing out Of
the ground, exhibit vigor of growth and
vitality of constitution that remain visible
throughout the entire season. And the fol-
lowing on the same subject We publish in
full. 1 1se.-l'l'--s1

THE NEXT YEARS WHEAT FIELD.

As soon IS the present harvest is over.
the next thing in order is to get in the seed

Dear Chronicle

Dear Chronicle:
Seated upon the topmost pinacle of Pilot
Knob. with huge rock for writing stand
the spirit moves me to adress few lines
to you. @
This Mountain is situated in beautiful
basin-like valley, surrounded on all sides by
very high hills; it is solid body of iron
orc, little more than a mile in cireumfer-
ence at It's base. The top of the mountain
commands one of the most beautiful views
Imaginable. Hill after hill rise in the dis
tance, on all sides, far as the eye can reach.
To the south, and within three miles of the
mountain, arc seen the beautiful villages of
Ironton, county seat of Iron county, and
Arcadia noted for its Seminary, which was
established there fifteen years ago. At the
foot of the mountain, on the north side are
situated the Iron Works, and the depot
buildings at the southern extremity of the
Iron Mountain Rail Road. The sides of
the mountain, as are the adjoining hills
also, are mostly covered with bushy oak
trees; near the top rises a massive pile of
rocks more than fifty feet in perpendicular
hight From this circumstance. and the
fact that it, for a long time, served for
guide to the hunters in this part of the
country, it received the name of Pilot
Knob.
This part of the state is valuable prin-
cipally on account of its minerals. The val
leys are tOlerably productive, but the hills
are rocky and barren.
Farmers here arc busily engaged harvest
ing their spring wheat and grass; fall
wheat has been standing in the shock for
some time. A few of the earliest pieces of
corn are tasseled ont. Crops all look well
and times are much better than in central
With due respects for friends in Trum- !

MY FRIEND JOSHUA.

/ Did you ever see a beautiful man, reader!
If you have, You have seen one of the most

to it, but baShful man, who ever pities
him? Though despised by one sex, and
laughed at by the other, always doing what
he never ought to have done, and saving
what he never intended to say. he is one of
the most pitiable objects in existence.
To be sure, in these days of brass and
assurance, when everybody thinks himself
as good as his neighbor. and a great deal
better, they are very rare. But still they
are to be met with occasionally, though
they are quietly disappearing and probably
in few years there viii be no trace of them
left. ~ Et
My friend, Joshua Wheat was one of
this unfortunate class of people. l say
was, for he has wonderfully improved of
late years. But l will not anticipate.
No one could have seen Joshua enter a
room where there was company, especially
ladies, without being aware of this pcculi-
arity of his. He generally either blundcr-
cd along, looking red and foolish, or shot
hurriedly in, with white. scared face,
hiding himself as soon as possible from OBJ
servation behinh door, or in a corner
If there was a chair or stool anywhere in
the room, which was very apt to be the case, !
he generally managed to stumble over it, |
which was not at all calculated to increase
his selfposscssion, or add to the grace of
his entrance. If pretty girl spoke to .
him, he stammered, and turned all sorts of
colors, looking as frightened and ashamed |
as if lie had been convicted of sheep-stcal-
ing
Poor Joshua. there certainly never was a
man who had higher opinion of the better
part of creation, or was more capable of ap-
prcciating the blessings of matrimony; yet
he had reached the age of twenty-eight
without being one step nearer oward real
izing them than he was eight years before.
He had five brothers, but though none of
them had half of his good locks or sense,
they possessed what he did not, plenty of
assurance, and a tact of showing all they
lid know, and were all married and hap.

She will not love again
But she will never. never wear
So strong a chain as then.
What was the Singing of her life
Into a blissfui sea
The bursting of each fragrant bud,
Upon life's youthful tree,
Until each grace of her young soul
Exhaled its sweetness there;
And deeper glowed, with softer dyes,
In loves enchanted air
Just then the frost of duty fell,
And chilled each tender leaf;
She bound them with heart-torn shred
Into bhghted sheaf.
She did not rave, or droop in woe,
But smiled at pleasant things;
And few suspected that her heart
Was wrung with sufFerings.
She made tomb low in her heart,
And buried there alone,
The corpse of that expired Joy,
The dearest she had known.
But those who know her best, oft see
A shadow in her eyes
And when she speaks of one, his name
I'rembles uron a sigh.
Again she wears within her crown,
LIES purest Oliye-leGf;
And holiest love is filtered through
The sable threads of grief.
'Tis not Che sanle absorbing spell
Of that enhancing dream;
1t is calm, a tempered joy,
The starlight's tender beam.
A strong, and more enduring love;
'Tis not a passion flower,
A thing of beauty in the morn,
At eve faded flower.
1t is principle she loves
The spirit, not the form;
'Tis not the alteration wrought
By beauty's potent charm.
She grieves not now that blighted hope,
Although sometimes she turns
To that dark vault within her heart,
Who're mem'ry's tapcr burns.
She knows that it is better thus,
Better, as it is now;
And that the crown of thorns she wore,
Has blossomed on her brow.
Yet she will never love again
As she has loved before
