The Be- T.me to sow erass seed.

A correspondent of the Boston CultiYator
gives the following useful information upon
this subject:
have an impression that experimental
know ledge is the most valuable for the farmer.
For more than half century [ have been ex-
peritnenting to fnd the best time 70 SOW grass
seed. For more than thirty Of the first years
of my farming, did as my neighbors did, we
supposed that the spring months were the on
ly proper ones for that purpose. Bat later in
life, by reading agricultural papers, l discov-
cred that some enterprising farmers were sue
cessful in sowing their grass seed in August
or September, I tried the experiment with
complete success; that being the season it would
naturally fall, it appeared evident to my mind
that it was the right one. But still later l
have not been particular, and have sowed grass
seed at any season when my ground was pre-
pared to receive it, and if the seed was good
it has uniformly vegetated and done well,
Last fall We, (my son and myself) after har-
vesting our potatoes from low, wet sell, which
would not admit of seeding down in early
spring sowed herds grass and red-tcp seed
ON the 14th and 18th of October upon said
potato field, doubling, but still hoping, for
the best; and now, the 9Th of July il bids fair
10 give US the best crop OF hay produced upon
any Of my farm lots. This grass probably
viii require two weeks longer time to grow
| than that which has been seeded down
longer. l think l never saw seed vegetate any
| better at any season. Grass seed will vege.
tate long time after being sowed. In the
spring of l846, I seeded down lot of good
ground, but rather dry, with red-top seed;
the months of june and July were uncommon

mo appearance ofa grass sprout on the piece.

for several weeks till the ground was satura-
ted. In September, more than four months
nfter the seed seemed 10 vegetale, aud the

when our land is in good state of prepara-

My "better half has no difficulty in keep

for protecting cucumber hills, having 10 it 10

condition, fresh and green, all winter, wes un-
covered early in April, and on the 10Th of May
was in full bloom. Those kept in the house
are potted in the fall early enough to root well
before freezing weather comes on; they are
then placed in the east sitting room, where we
have wood fires. and never allow the frost TO
enter. The plants are kept clean and moist,
tobacco smoke, (which can supply: whenever
called upOn.) applied when necessary. and
thus the plants are kept healthy and vigorous
through the entire winter. This spring they
commenced blooming The last of March, wert
in full bloom by the middle of April and now

mvx1Ha rHE RICH.

Among the poor there exists an
almost universal disposition to envy
the wealthy. This feeling is fouh-
ded upon q mistaken view of the
comparative happiness OF the two
classes; and in proportion as it is
cherished. in that proportion is it
the source of unnecessary trouble
to those who entertain it. a7
The rich by no means enjoy life
as the poor so commonly imagine.
Business men among the former class
are, we feel persuaded, less happy
for the most part than the employed
among the latter. Their business
il generally extensiveIand complica-
ted Much is at stake. Engage
ments are numerous and pressing
Far-reaching plans are to be adopt
ed. The strictest attention is nee
essary in order to their successful
execution. The mind is too intent
ly and constantly employed It be-
comes fatigued and careworn. The
wealthy business man commonly de-
rives but little enjoyment from his
nmpmese ossessions.
Unemployed wealthy men are Of
ten even more unhappy than those
who are immersed in business. =
Their very want of employment is
a source of unhappiness. Man is
born for activity. Some degree of
employment is indispensable to con-
tentment. Time drags heavily with
the idle. Hours to them seem like
days in duration. They are oppress.
ed with e'spui. You hear them often
long for something with which to
kill time." Can such persons be
happy2
1t is to be rememembered, also in
estimating the condition of the
wealthy, that familiarity with com.
forts and luxuries diminishes their
capability of affording satisfaction.
Pricely mansions, splendid furniture
luxurious tables, numerous attend
ants, showy equippages, magnificent
decorations-all these, SO envived
by the poor, are in general regard

was SO pleased with home, if it was

persevere, hoping it would come ca

in her kitchen, so the worst drudge
ry did not fall on her. Yet there
was no system about the house. At
ength one day, when her husband
had rather lost his patience, hunting
through the disordered drawers for
a cravat and handkerchief, she rous-
ed herself from a good cry, and de-
termined that whatever else she fail

Terry said whenever she would
grow discouraged, and ready to give

bureau and pull out the drawers

encouraged and stimulated her a.

There was a great oyerhauling of
