Nathan. - - -. =.
Jim rather .;. dsmusrsd giving an Affirmative
admonished him he had better yield.

than.
Thou hast been a disturber of the peace of
this neighborhood time out Of memory-thy
hand has been raised against every man-thou
| art brawler. Wilt thou promise me that in
future thee will lead a more peaceable life
that thou wilt love thy neighbor as thyself 2"
Yes, answered Jim, hesitatingly, call but
the Quakers."
"Thou must make no exceptions" replied
Nathan, 81 insist on an Affirmative answer. !"
" If say yes to that-I1l die first"
struggle now ensued between the two,
but Jim had his match.
"Thou must yield, James," said Nathan, 'I
insist on it, and he again grasped Jim by the
throat " / will choke thee into submission :;
thou must answer affrmatively-say after me,
i promise to love my neighbor as myself, in
cluding the Quakers.'" ,"
A." l promise that?" said Jim; "I'll be cursed
if do"

replied Nathan. "Wilt thou yield ?"
"No wos't, I'll be blasted if 1 do" an
swered Jim.
"Thee had better give in, replied Nathan,
81 will choke thee again if thee does not-see
my grip tightens."
And Nathan did compress his grip, and the
choking process again went on. Jim's face first
became distorted, then purple-his tongue
lolled out, and his eyes protruded from their
sockets-his body writhed like a dying mans
Nathan persisted in holding his grip until Jim
became entirely passive, he then relaxed his
hold. Jim was slow in recovering his speech
and his senses; when he did he begged Maths an
for mercy's sake 10 release him.
"W hen thee will make the promise exact
from thee, will release thee, but no sooner"
replied Nathan.
Jim saw he was powerless, and that the
Quaker was resolute. He felt it was no use to
persist in his stubbornness
g will give in, " he replied, 81 will promise
to love my neighbor as myself"
Including the Quakers?" insinuated
Nathan
/" Yes, including the Quakers," replied Jim.
Thou mayest arise then, friend James.
answered Nathan, land trust the lesson thou
hast learned to-day will make a more peacea-
bic citizen of thee, and l hope a better man I"
Poor Jim was completely humbled he left
the field with his spirits completely cowed.
Not long after this occurrence the story became
bruited about This was more than Jim could
bear. He soon after left the scene of his many
trlumphs and his late defeat, and emigrated to
the ''far west" The last heard of him he
was preparing to make another move Being
pressed for bis reason why be again emigrated,
he said a colony of Quakers were about moving
into his neighborhood. He was under an obi,
CATION to love them, but he was of the opinion
that distance would lend strength to his attach
ment.

Early Termination Of seed Corn.

If you did not, as you have so Otter
been advised to DO, save your seed corr
by selecting the best ears in the field
do not lose another day, but go at once
to your corn cribs and pick out the hand
soonest ears that you can find, and store
them up in some dry loft; no matter if il
is very smoky one, and as hot as a July
sun, it won't hurt the vitality Of the seed
1t is of the highest Importance that
your seed should germinate Immediately
after you plant it. This is of more i'm
portance than early planting. Germina
tion can undoubtedly be hastened by ar
tificial means. DIR. Chamberlain, of Bu
rem County, H., has made some impor.
tant discoveries in this direction. The
Republican says:
"Last year DIR. Chamberlain of thi;
place made some practical experiments,
aud demonstrated that nearly half the
time may be saved in terminating the
seed by the use of chloride of lime.
Not satisfied with the success of last
year, he is again experimenting. In his
office he has four boxes; in the first is
corn planted without soaking, and the
seed not terminated; in the second, the
seed was soaked in warm water, which
has just commenced to germiuate; in the
third is seed soaked in solution Of lime,
and green blades are just peeping from
the ground; in the fourth is seed soaked
in solution Of chloride of lime and cop
eras, in equal parts, and the blades are
now nearly three inches abovet the ground.
All the seeds were planted at the same
time, in the same quality of soil, and
taken from the same ear The boxes
have all had an equal share of heat and
light, neither allowed any advantage over
the other.
This experiment should attract the
attention of farmers. We conclude from
four to six weeks MAY be saved by the
use of chloride of lime and coperas, which
is a matter of no ordinary moment when
we reflect that delay in the germina-
tion of the seed Of two weeks frequently
places the crop within the reach of the
frost in the fall. Another fact of some
Importance may also be mentioned:- -
The copperas used in soaking will prevent
the birds, squirrels, worms, &c, from
eating the seed.
DR.. Chamberlain assures us that one
pound Of chloride Of lime, and one pound |
If coppcras, in water will soak enough |
ieed for twenty five acres. The cost will |
lot be over twenty-five cents. Every
armcr could afford to make the expert
nent, even if lie should fail to derive any
)encht from it.

CHINESE PROVERBS.

Plant flower with care and it may
not grow; stick in willow at random,
and it forms a thick shade.
Old age is like candle in the wind
easily blown out.
To show the value Of secresy, an cm.
peror made statue of gold with it,
mouth closed.
The love of gain turns wise men into
fools.
He who has many acquaintance will
be mixed up with many troubles.
To lie over prudent is not much bette,
than folly.
a scholars children are familiar with
books; farmers sons are versed in the
seasons.
Wife, fortune, children and profession,
are all predestined.
a wife should excel in four things
virtue, speech, person and needowork.
High trees feel the wind; lofty station
is obnoxious to danger.
a certain sage feared the testimony of
four witnesses-heaven, earth, his neigh.
Dor, and himself.
Those above should not oppress those
below.
He who could see only three days into
futurity might enrich himself forever.
Ii a chattering bird be not placed in
the mouth, vexation will not sit between
the eyebrows.
To be fully fed, and warmly clothed
and to dwell at ease without learning,
is little better than a bestial state.
Prosperity produces liberslity and
moderation of temper.
An iliterate person is like dry ink

comes from it.
A good rat will not injure the grain
near lis own hole. Qt is an i'll bird, &c.)

Produce much, consume little, labor

To perseoute the unfortunate, is like
throwing stones on one fallen into well.
He who has yellow face and white
teeth is an opium smoker.
When paths are constantly trodden
they are kept clear; but when abandoned
the weeds choke them up, so weeds choke
the mind in the absence Of employment.

PLANTING SoUTH-The southern farm.

Gin times Of war" The Augusta (Goo'1
Chronicle says:
We were in the fine old county Of Co.
lumbia, few days ago, and found many
of the best farmers already planting corn,
even as early as the 23d of February,
and one we heard Of who commenced
planting on the Goth. There is a gener.
al disposition to plant corn largely, and
this is right; for being solcly an agricul.
tural people it would be really crying
shame that we could not make our own
food.
The Macon lGco.) Telegraph says:
