IN almost every community, whose principal

And this kiad of merchandise has the adyan-
taye of al ether kinds in one particular, that
is. it can be retailed and remain on hand at
the same time. But when it becomes stale
or worn by use, it is thrown away, and the
news-mongers then fish in the dirty pools OF

A Child's Dream Of Heaven.

Il dreAmsd,' said little Ellen, that I stood
outside the gate of Heaven and looked in.
The gate was all made of precious stones,
but | could see through it. | could see the
street and it was all pure gold. I saw angels
playing on harps, and | heard such singing
as | never heard on earth. They were all
singing the same words, but | could not tell
what they were. AS | was looking, God
spoke to me. He asked me if I had q new
hearth l told him I did not know. He said,
If you have not you cannot come in here,
bat if you will go back to earth and pray
for it, you shall have one, and | will send an
angel and bring you up here"
SO | went back to earth and went into a
closet; and as | was praying an angel came
and took me and put me in one side of his
bosom, and dear sister Annie in the other
and carried US up to heaven. You don't
know how swsstly we looked. We were
just like two little flowers tucked in his bo-
som.
when we came to the gate an angel
opened it for as and we went in. Before,
when | heard the music, | thought I never
could sing like that butthe moment I was in,
| could sing as well as any of them. Angels
were all the while coming, bringing little ba
bies in their bosoms, and the moment they
were in they could sing as loud and as swee

Foit Pickens

The field of operations at plckens is essential
ly as follows
The harbor Of Pensacola is an indenture on
on the Gull coast, shut in by the long narrow
island OF Santa Rosa, which continues the line
OF coast running nearly east and west. On tho
west side OF the entrance to the harbor is Fort
McRae and a water battery opposite, and
about a mile distant, on the west side Of Santa
Rosa, stands Fort Pickens Taking this last as
I =. centre, the line OF the main land sweeps r0und
rom McRae u quarter of u circle, where a lit
lie back from the water is Fort BarrAncas. 1t
then continues, nearly parallel to the island,
about two miles to the Navy yard, where it
runs oil to the north. making u spacious bay,
Az the head Of which il Pensacola.
Plckens is thus exposed to the fire Of the Bar
%rancas, and McRae, and such batter les as may
be erected on all the stretch Of shore between
them, and on the more distant line towards the
Navy-yari. This tGe is all remote, too much so
TO effect any breach which would be impracti-
cable if the fort is fully garrisoned.
The besiegers will then be compelled either
to deliver an assault at once, success in which
would be nearly impossible with their present
resources or 20 through with a regular siege,
and its consequent delay and expense in men
and money.
Fresh troops at any time before the assault
will enable the garrison to erect out works and
II sufficiently strengthened they, in their turn,
may become the attacking party. II the gar
rison is now sufficient, or should become 50
before parallels are opened, out-worAs OF various
kinds-as redams, er Fashioned lines-can be
constructed, advanced even as far as opposite
to the Navy yard, and each line Of these will
have to be taken in succession il the same gem
eral way, and with the same expense Of time,
as before indicated. Between these out-works
and the fort, batteries facing the main shore
could be constructed, Of any power necessary.

Raising Indian Corn.

The English grains all yield better IN our
coolest summers. And the grasses grow as
we'll in cold seasons as in the warmest. Po-
tatoes also, and turnips, are mover thankful
for hot seasons. They all seem to want wet
rather than hot weather.
But corn must have heat, or not produce
we'll. When thoroughly titled it bears dry
weather better than any plant-but it cannot
stand the cold.
The English grains must be put into the
ground before corn, yet we must be preparing
for putting both classes into the ground as
soon as the soil is fl! to receive then. Late
planting is attended with too much risk, and
prudent Farmers will not plant their corn late
when they can avoid it.
1t is true that large crops Of corn are often
grown when the planting takes place In the
last week Of May. In some cases VIC have
no doubt that corn planted after the Goth OF
May has yielded as well as it would ii it had
had been planted during the first week Of The
same month but, though it is often rema kcd
that corn, planted late in the season produces
more than that which is planted early, We
ought to onsider that in a cool summer we
cannot expect corn to ripen 50 well when
planted late in May.
The last season was not a real corn season.
1t was not quite hot enough to rlpen corn
well which was planted late.
The season was a pretty good one for veg
etable growth. and corn that wps planted Oh
suitable soils, in good eeason, produced quite
well the growth was good and the cars filled
out to the eod.
But corn that was planted late in May did
not ripcn well. And though the frost held
off till the very last Of September, the wealth
or was not dry enough to fit the corn cars for
binning, and many ears were found to be
mouldy at the but, and not worth halt price
Of good corn.
1t is not prudent, therefore, to plant, late
though we sometimes have good crops when
the season is quite hot and favorable TO corn
Farmers who have many acres to plant car
not plant always rs early as they would. Blu
by taking proper advantage they may avoic
the loss Of their haryests in tolcrablc seasons
For instance, when greensward is to bC
planted it may as well be turned in the fall as
in the spring. The fall manure may be car
ried out, anil either left in small heaps on tn,
land, or il may be spread and narrowed in a
once. Then nothing more need DO done Ill
it is time to plant in tho spring.
So, in the spring, there is a time when ma
nurcs may BIO carried on to the planting
ground before the frost is out, or before the
ground is dry enough for the plough.
