Egyptian Oats---Where seeds may be
Obtained.
To the Editor of the Detroit Free Press.

TO the Editor OF the Detroit Free Press.
LEO, N. c., March 80, 1860.
In the February number of the Gene
see Farmer there appeared, over my sig
nature, a communication in which the
Egyptian or winter oats were spoken OF,
and | received several letters from gentle
men in Michigan to know if they could
get few seeds by mail, to try them in
that climate. N
Perhaps there are some more who
would be glad to have few, and 10
know where to get them. /, therefore,
send you these lines, hoping you will noti-
fly your readers that, by sending to the
subscriber, they can get them free of
charge, if they will send money or stamps
to pay the postage. The law requires
six cents per ounce as postage to be paid
at the mailing Office. l shall keep sup
ply of stamps, and persons sending for
oats can send the money, if they have no
stamps by them. AS stamps sometimes
get damaged by sending in letters, l wo'd
recommend those sending for six ounces
and less TO send money. Any person
sending one dollar Tin gold) will receive IL
ounces.
These oats should be sowed in Septem-
Der or October. If sowed in September
they can be pastured by sheep and calves
after they take root. Address,
JOHN Il. Howell, Leo,

PICKLE Miss Polly and Miss Peggy
are two sisters. Miss Polly is the elder.
She is not member of any church, but,
like all well-bred young ladies', says her
prayers before retiring. One night shc
carried to her room a pickle, and laid it
upon the bureau, thinking she would eat
it after her devotions. She knet at the
foot of the bed for the purpose. Peggy
entered the room, and seeing her absorb
ed, thought to improve the opportunity by
appropriating the pickle to her own use.
She had bitten of piece, and in chew
ing it made noise which her sister heard,
who wishing to know the cause looked up,
and beholding Peggy devouring the pick
lie, hurriedly arose, exclaiming: /" o Lord,
excuse me moment; Peggy's eating my
picklep

KIND HEARTS.

Let but the heart be beautiful
And 1 care not for the face,
/ heed not that the form may want
Pride, dignity, or grace.
Let the mind be filed with glowing tho'ts
And the soul with sympathy,
And I care not if the cheek be pale,
Or the eye lack brilliancy.
What though the cheek be beautiful,
1t soon must lose its bloom;
The eyes bright lustre soon will fade,
In the dark and silent tomb;
But the glory Of the mind will live,
Though the joyous life depart,
And the magic charm can never die
OF true and noble heart.
The lips that utter gentle words
Have beauty all their own,
And more prize kindly voice
Than music's sweetest tone;
And though it sounds are harsh or shrill,
If the heart within beats free,
And echoes back each glad impulse,
IT'S all the same to me.

more astonishing, full-blown cameliaja-

twined in the tresses of the girl, was re-
markably fresh looking-the leaves retain
