Picking Seed wheat.

A correspondent in the Canada Farmer
wiring on the subject Of wheat growing,
offers the lollOwing:-"An important
operation in the process Of wheat sowing
is too often neglected-I allude 80 tho
picking Of seed. First, it points out 10
us the bad grains which may thus be re-
moved, reducing the percentage oI lost
seed; and secondly, it strikes the root Of
smut and other fungi; for ii is these very
inperleclIy formed grains that are chiefly
attacked by such parasites. Now smut
is found in the imperfect grains, and in
such small quantities as bo,anists tell Us)
that il is absorbed in the root OF the
young plant, bursting out short time ar
ter the caring, throws upon j, fungi. in
the dark rusty form with which we are
but TOO familiar. II we simply s,eep;our
wheat in Wa'er, The ligh, grains which,
though too light 10 be blown out by The
tanning mill, are imperfect. will rise 10
the surface, and may be removed. If 10
this water We add lime, We shall kill all
traces Of smut, &C., which may have
clung 10 the otherwise sound seed by con-
iagIon with the imperfect grains. But
let Us remember, above all. thai the mosi
certain prescription for the securing Of
good crops, is a change Of seed; get your
seed from different variety Of soil. "

Two long years had rolled away. and
were still a rolln', when we returned 10
The house OF our childhood with a for
tune. We had made it yelling fresh
roasted California peanuts, only fourteen
cents a quart" and it was a consolation
TO know ths, We made j, honestly. As
the shades Of evening were falling we
wended our way in the direction Of the
house of our Bslinda. We wondered, as
we walked along smoking two cent ha'
wanna, if she had changed much ia these
Two long years we had not looked upon
her dear face, bu, We were sure she was
true unto US. Yes" We thought, cal
though The course of true love runs as
crooked as chain tightening sometimes,
i, always gets straight in the end, and
runs as smoothly as so dollar bill ihro'
a Congressmap's fngers-al least il does
in novels"
We reached the door where we were
won, TO bid our Belinda good night and
kiss her for ber mother long before, and
with beating hesr: We knocked. The
door opened, and there stood the idol Of
our hesrI-likewise Bags and two small
Bsgs-lhe very image Of their Pa-hoId-
ing fas, TO our BaIindss dress, and crying
for "a piece Of bread and butter
"Well I'll be burned, il there amt that

That was all she said, our BslinJa Of
former days but now Mrs. Bags, and, with
strong etermlDstlon TO shoot ourself
soon as pistols got cheap, we left tie false

PHERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY SATURDAY, OCT 1862
Our BaIinda

OuL
Her eyes like twin sisrses
Sparkled and danced
Made my brain whlrl with rapture.
And my heart beat enUauced:
Her hair o'er her shoulders
Like sun beams did stream,
And her lips were far sweeler
Than peaches and cream.
Such was our Bainds, and our love for
her wss much. She was q singist--a
superb singist-aud when the shades Of
evening fell Ger Tho earth and psle Luna
peeped forth from behind distant hay
stack, she would come on, from her ia
lher's domicil. seat herself on an ancient
back log by our side, and warble for our
exclusive amusement.
But alas for US! Belinda was a fllrt,
and thought if one beau was good two
was better, and three was more so, there
fore, as BaIinds thought thus, she had as
many as she could get, which was US and
Bags. Bags was hard rival TO get over,
for Bags had stamps, and unto ice cream
saloons and soda-water sIants he did take
her. This was hard on Bags pocket
book, but it was likewise hard on Us, for
Balnds was much fond OF these things
fear much londer than she was OF US.
We saw that we would have TO bring
things TO climax, or Bags would take the
idol OF our heart for hls'n; and zone day
in Iealy June" las the poet remsrks), as
we walked beside the loved one, in her
Pas apple orchard, VIC resolved 10 ge' the
inside track Of Bags, and we spoke 10 her
as follows
"Balinda, loved one Of our heart, whist
thou not take US for thine own Thy
life shall be perfect slrcak Of pleasure
and happiness, and never shalsI thou have
TO get up of a cold morning and make
fire. We are poor now, Balinda, IN
financial point Of view, but if thou wilsi
only say Eyes" and promise TO wait Tor
US, we will away 10 The great city oi
Philadelphia and start peanut stand, or
get conductors birth on a streeI-car, and
in few years become Ich. Yes, Balm
! da, we will DO thus, and then we will re-
turn unto thee, loved OF our soul. and
laying our wealth al thy feet, ask thee to
60 round 10 Parson Stckem's and become
ovrn't a, once. Say. sweetness, wllst
thou promise 10 wait until these things
! are thus 7"
She hesiiaIed but moment, and then
softly replied: "SboOkes, wilss !"
"And thou whist give up Bags, and eat
ice cream no more at his expense y
She promised, and rested her head on
our shirt front, much to lis damage but
more 10 our delight; and we slipped loves
first sweet kiss from her dewy lips, and it
was SO good il made US forget we ever
had grandmother.
Tie sad, sad parting came in few
days, and with Bslinda's photograph and
lock Of her auburn iressess in our pock-
et, we left her, and she promised to be
true unto US until we returned with our
wealth.

For the Register.
How strange it seems, old chum, to-day,
Where early friends did meet rs.
Mid youthful scenes so bright and gay,
Who now are dead or far away,
And scarce one left 10 greet US.
For some are sailing Ger the main
Where dark blue waves are hoaving,
And others march in GIory's rain
And some on far of lndia's plain,
Their bright gold webs are weaving
How many, too. now silent sleep,
The sleep that knows no dreamicg,
And DER their couch the dewdrops weep;
And midnight stars their vigils keep,
With tender quiet cleaning.
Since first they've lain beneath lhe sod,
Who had our hearts in keeping
How many weary miles we've Hod,
SO lar sdown Lies rugged road
Far from The loved ones sleeping.
And as we look, old chum, to-day,
Far up that road behind US ;
The mileStones, the dusty way,
Are but the lombs where loved ones lay,
10 which sad men'ry binds US.
Then DER our footsteps early prints
The fow'rs were sweetly leaning ;
But, ah I. the Autumn's varied tina,
And falling leaves, with solemn hints,
Have now solemn meaning.
And DER the scene, old chuns, to-day
Where mornings sun was besming,
The sunset with its level ray,
Through evening clouds, all dull and gray,
Now sheds a twilight cleaning.
So DER The Joys that could no, last,
When early Hope was shining,
Will mem'ry come from out the Past,
With roseste iinis-,hough fading fast
TO gid our l.ife's declining,

as going on near Neuvitas, but no particulars
are received
HAVANA, Nav 20th.-The reports in circu-
lation of the landing of filibusters can be
traced TO no authentic source. No expendi-
tion has landed near Sagua. and il is imnossI-
ole for an expedition to land at any point be-
tween Havana and NueFitas. The Spanish
cruisers are so numerous that il would be
difficult to obtain q fOothoid for an expedi-
ton at any other part of the island, owing to
the watchfulness of the Government. SYM
paihizers with the revolution complain of
Admirals Hoffs dispatches, published in the
New York papers, but the Intelligence given
in these depatches is as reliableas can be ob-
tanned The only objection is the discredlt
of the exaggerated reports started by the
Cuban partisans. Admiral Hof eujoys the
unlimited confidence of the American resi-
dents here. The report Is officially con-
frmed that the rebels have burned Manieara-
qua.
