THE DUrY OF 4 MornER. should be
firm, gentle, kind always ready to attend to
her child. She should never laugh at him,
at what be does that's cunning; never allow
him to think Of his looks, except to be neat
and clean in all his habits. She should
teach him to obey look; to respect those
older than himself; she should never make
ajconlmand without seeing it is performed in
the right manner. Never speak of a child
faults or, foibles, or repeat his remarks be-
fore him. It is a sure way to spoil child.
Never reproYe a child when excited, nor let
your tone ofyoice be raised when correcting.
Strive to inspire love, not dread respect,
not fear. Remember your are training and
educating soul for eternity. rs s8e robin.

Hence Noah was born, An. Mundi II

In Genesis, 7th chapter, 9th verse, we
are informed that Noah was 600 years old
when the flood Of waters was upon the earth.
Add 600 years, his age, to 1866, gives the
date of the food 1856 We learn from the
9th verse, 9Th chapter Of Genesis, that call
the days Of NIathuselah were 669 years, and
he died." By reference to the foregoing ia
Bile, it will be seen that Methuselah was
born Ammo Mundi 687, to which add his
age, 900, and we have 1856, the date Of the
food, which proves to be a mathematical
certainty that Methuselah was drowned for
his wickedness.

I SOAKING SEED OF WHEAT AND OArs.-In
the transactions of the Highland AEricul-

Seeds Of wheat stepped in sulphate of am
monia had titled in five. weeks into nine, ten
or eleven stems of nearly equal vigor, while
seeds of the same sample.i unsoaked, and
sown at the same time in the same soil, had
not titled into more than two, three and four
stems. Some tall oats average one hundred
and sixty grains on each stem, aud eight
stems to each seed, the seed of which had
been soaked in a solutionlof sulphate of am
monia.t The seed of other specimens of oats,
next tho most prolific, had been soaked in
solution of muriate of ammonia {; further
promiscuous specimens, of oats were referred
to, that had been soaked in a solution. of
nitrate of soda and potash. These latter
were strong numerous in stems (some not
having less than ffty-two) but not SO tall
as either those from the sulphate or muriate
Of ammonia. rHoja Hju ish.lziet-s "a .,

idiots and insane persons, and gives their

any one has been declared insane or drunk

arrangement must exist for at least one year,

PLANT SoRGuUM.-Tn view of the the DO
lieal revolution which is now transpiring in
in Cuba, and the prospect that exists that in
the midst of hostilities there will not be any,
thing like an average crop of sugar raised on
that island during the coming season. we
suggest to farmers the importance of putting
in crop of sorghum this spring. We do
not know but the suggestion is a good one.
Although it has, thus far, been impossible
to produce from sorghum sugar which at
all compares with that produced from the
sugar cane, yet in view of probable scar
city Of the latter, and high prices at that,
sorghum sugar can very readily be made to
take its place. The price of sugar has al
ready been affected by the Cuban revolution,
and it may go much higher before the year
is half over.
