good crops that were planted as late as the
first OF June. The greatest danger in late
planting is the liability Of injury by irosts
in the Fall. In selecting seed, more atten-
ton should be paid to the appearance than
the name. There is scarcely any end to the
varieties raised, and the same kinds have
different names in different sections OF the
country. You will have to DO governed in
your selection very much by tho climate
some kinds requiring much longer season
than Others. At the North, Dutton, little
Canada. King Philip, and many OF the eight
and twelve rowed yellow and white flint
varieties are f,vorites. The large gourd seed,
a strong growing and not very heavy variety,
is much raised in the middle States, and re-
auires long season Southern white is
much raised at the South, and some persons
here prefer it for cooking. Stowell's ever
green is one Of the best for boiling. For
SEED choose good sized ears with long heavy
Grain and small cob, well filed over the ends;
the small end Of the cob should be entirely

common tar will prevent birds taking it. To
do this, soad the seed about twelve hours in
cold water. then pour OF the cold, and pour
ON warm water just below tho boiling point,
enough to barely cover the corn. Dip a
paddle in the tar or pour little on the corn

Tho Old Elm Troe.

oh, the old elm tree is standing now,
Where Il stood - long ago,
When In Its shadow We children played,
Till the sun m the west grew low.
And its branches reach as far. and high,
And the sky above Is as clear,
But under II now no ehlldrcn play,
In the golden days Of the year.
The sunbeams creep thrO' the rustlins leaves.
That fall on the moss grown seat
And tall grass waves, where In other years,
IL was trodden by childrenNs ieet.
And the bees hum laIily In the shade
Through the long bright summers day,
And the soft wind murmurs with lonely sound,
Where the children used to play.
They all are gone from their ehlldhOod's home,
And have wandered far awayi
or all that band OF the dear old time,
There Is not ono len to-day.
They are parted now, by many mile,
And waves, and mountains hlghi
And one has gone TO the home beyond,
Through the golden gates OF the sky.
And many weary year has gone,
And many q summers sun
Has passed sdOwn the golden west
When the loas bright day was donei
And many an autumn wind has blown,
And many winter cast
Oer hill aud vale, its shrowd OF snow,
Since tho ehildren met there last
And the weary years will still move ou
With their sunshine and their pains
but there In the shade Of the old elm tree,
They will never all meet again.
But there Is heaven OF quiet rest,
And its portal is open wide;
And one by one as the angels call,
They will meet on the ether side. MEM.

On tho Cultivation OF Indian Corn

Corn succeeds in all varieties OF soil pos

which for want Of draining arc wet and cold
for too long time in Spring. The only
limit To its cultivation appears to be climate,
rs IL requires hot sunshine and sufficient
length Of time between bard trusts to allow
il To grow and ripcn; this for the different
varieties will take from four to six months,

Corn is much planted on fresh break OF
sod, and made the first crop in i've years
rotation. Ii will, however, succeed for many
years on the same ground, il the strength Is
kept up by proper application OF manure.
Sometimes lin Pennsylvania) wheat or rye
is sown at the last working OF the corn and
pastured through the winter by sheep or
cows; and sometimes the corn is removed
when cut and the ground sown with winter
grain. The first preparation OF the ground
should he thorough draiRGge, where il is
needed, for no crop is moru affected by water
standing in the soil than this. II fsurlace
draining must be resorted to, the best plan is
to plow the land in ridges and plant on the
top. This will also give more nourishment
To the corn in very thin soils but, exeeptin
extreme cases, il i not advisable, as IL leaves
the ground roug gH6r uneven, and interieres
with good cultivation.
Some farmers abject to putting fresh
manure ON corn land, because it makes weeds
grow; but, with me, this would be reason
Tor applying il to this in preference to any
.other crop, for there Is no other in which the
weeds are 40 easily kept down, while Destroy

Of the manure to the corn crop, but give

Though the manure next the seed helps 10

There happened one OF the richest scenes
here at the, pass epger depot, on Saturday
last, that has occurred for q long time.
There were brought in some hundred OF
more secesh prisoners, to be sent to
Louisville, and they were taken to the
freight depot, some three squares below the
passenger depot. At the passenger depo,
there were about the same number of East
Tennesseeans, going l don't know where.
About half IN hour before train time.
there appeared at the passenger depot some
