Sowing Your WILD OATs.-In all the wide
range of accepted British maxims, there is none,
take it for all in all, more thoroughly abomina-
BILE than this one as to the sowing of wild oats.
Look at it on what side you will, and defy
you to make anything but devils maxim of it.
What man-be he Young, old, or midde-aged
-sows, hat, and nothing else, shall he reap
The only thing to do with wild oats is to put
them carefully into the hottest part OF the fire,
and get them burnt to dust, every seed of them.
If you SOW them, no matter in what ground, up
they will come, with long, tough roots, like
coach-Srass, and luxuriant stalks and leaves, as
sure as there is sun in heaven-a crop which
it turns ones heart cold to think Of The dew
il, too whose special crop they are, will see that
they thrive-and you, nobody else, will have to
reap them, and no common ieaping will get
them out of the soil, which must be dug down
deep again and again. Well for you if, with
all your care, you can make the ground sweet
again by your dying day.-TOm Brown at Or
ford.

How TIE APPoRTIoNMENT OF MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS is MADE.-When the census of the
United States is completed, it is the duty of
the Secretary of the Interior to divide the num-
Der of free persons with three-fiths of the slaves
by two hundred and thirtythree, the present
number of members, and the product shall be
the ratio of one member. The Secretary of
the Interior shall proceed in the same to ascer-
tain the representative population of each State
by the ratio already determined by him as above
shown and the result of this last division shall
be the number of representatives appointed to
each State.
The loss in the number of members caused
by the fractions remaining in the several States
shall be compensated for by assigning to so
many States having the largest fractions, an adj
ditional member each for the fractions, as may
be necessary to make the number of represen-
tatives two hundred and tlirty-three.

III SOHN Ss aAAEs
When do mean to marry p-Well-
IT'S idle to dispute with fate;
But il you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while fix the date;-
When daughters haste with eager feet,
4 mothers duty toll to shares
Can make the puddnes which they cat,
And mend the stockings which they wcari
When maidens look upon n man
As in himself what they would marry,
And not rs arnv-soldiers scan
A sutler or q commissary;
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of ladies hand,
Consent to share his "eartbly lot"
And do not mean his lot Of land;
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls;
When wives in short shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses,
And live us they were wont to live
Within their sires ono-story houses;
Then, madam,--if I'm not too Old
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver; cease to scold
And look about me for wife!
