Truths to Treasure,

Dress is a foolish thing; yet it is
more foolish not to be well dressed.
Humility is a rare possession here;
it may be compared among gems.
Time is money, and knowledge.
and virtue, and heaven; and yet We
yquantler it as though it were OF 10
value.
Love is the sum cf the social and
moral world without it there would
be no life, no beauty, no excellence.
Friendship among courtiers never
arises but from a prospect of. and
never lasts bur with a certainty of
advantage.
lie is happy whose circumstances
suit his temper; but he is still hap
pier who can suit his temper to his
circumstances.
Poverty is no mark, in itself, of a
loose mind on the contrary, there
are more virtuous poor persons than
moral rich ones.
Some men talk senSibiy and act
f0OliShly some talk foolishly and
act sensiHly. The first laugh at the
last, and the last cheat the first.
How many amusing and ridiculous
scenes should we witness in the
world, if each pair of men who Sc
cretly laugh at esch other, were to
laugh at each other aIond
/ " Friendship is to love what an en-.
craving is to Il painting" True, the
brilliant coiorS Of the painting fade.
! the print always remains the same
until it is aunlhilated.
DiSaGrccing in little things and
agreeing in great one Is what forms,
aud what keeps up, a commerce OF
society and friendship among rea>
SomaOlr men, and an on% unreasona-
bic men breaks it
The greatest evils in human society
are such as no law come at, as in the
case of iHgratitndr, where the man.
ner OF ohliging very often leaves the
henptactor with the means of dc.
manding Justice, though that very
circumstance should he more bind

Cultivation Of Buck
wheat,


1t has been said that buckwheat
occupies the same position among
the grains as the donkey does among
animals--useful but not POPULAR
1t Will grow on the poorest of SAN
dy soils, can be soWn later than any
other grain; and is one of the best
crops for cleaning the land and for
killing the wire worms and other IL
furious grubS. 1t has been exten.
tensiVely used for plOwiag in as a
manure. But though it is proved
beneficial for this purpose. it is not
as good as many other crops that
might be used, such as white and red
clover.
BuckWheat is often soWn loo early.
When too early, the hot sun is apt
10 blast the flowers. In some parts
Of New England it is sown early 10
June, even before the corn is plan
ted. Ii is best TO SOW thus early 10
all sections where there is danger of
frosty nights early in the fall, as a
slight frost often destroys the crop.
In Ohio it is usually not sown until
July. We must endeavor to steer be-
tween the two dangers, blasting Of
the aOSers in the summer, when
sOwn early, and the destruction of
The crop by frost in the fall when
sown late. II succeeds we'll soWD
on clover or grass sod.
Formerly it was considered best 10
break up the land in the spring,
but lately the practice is to pasture
the land, and break up Immediately
before sowing. From three pecks
to bushel is the usual quantity of
seed. Of the use Of buckwbeat We
need not speak. Everybody likes
buckwheat cakes on a cold winter
morning. 1t is good for poultry
Hogs thrive upon and are fond Of it.
When crushed, it is good feed for
horses; more nutritious, it is said,
than oats. 1t is good for milcb
COWS, increasing the quantity and
richness of the milk.
The amount Of seed per acre is
governed by the strength and con-
ditiOn OF the soil. On poor lnmpy
land one busbel should be used; on
strorg mellow soil, from half bush
ell to three pecks will be sufficient

How to Can Corn.

The following receipt for put
ting up corn for winter use will be
serviceable to our readers
Bell it fifteen minutes on the ear;
then dry the grain in pans an hour
in the warm sunshine; next salt
it just so much as will season it
for the table; fill tin cans, leaving
half an inch of space; put a gill
or so of water in each can, and
leave an aperture about the size
of a pin in the cover for the es-
cape of the gas; then place the
cans in a kettle, having in it just
enough of water TO reach within
an inch of the top of the cans: then
boil moderately three-quarters of
an hour, then solder up the vent.
The corn will keep perfectly sweet
and good as long as it is required to
keep.

How Eggs Hatch.

People have an idea that a ben
siis on The egg for a certain time,
and that when the time comes for
Matching the chick bursts forth
There never vas q greater mistake.
The chick, until liberated from the
shell "by outside sid," is as incapa-
bic Of mutton as if formed a solid
With the egg, which it nearly does.
You might as we'll enclose man in
an iron bUiler, and tell him to get
out without tools, as expect a chick
to get out of the shell without help.
/ be chick grows and swell in the
inside Of the iell, until at last the
excTescence on the point of the
beck Of the bird presses against
The inside of the shell, and burst
up a small scale; of course when it
does this, it at the time breaks Gin
that spot" the inside tkin Of the
egg. This admits the air; in q
short time it breatbes and gets
strength TO cry loudly. The hen
then sets 20 work to hberate it; she
brings ii forward under the feathers
Of the crop, andsupportiDgit between
The breastbOne and the nest begins
the wcIk Of setting her progeny free.
She bitches the point Of Der beak
into the hole formed by the raising
of the scale by the chicks beak, and
breaks away the egg skin or shell
all round the great diameter OF the
egg. The joint Efforts of the hen
without and the chick within then
.berates the prisoner, AID be strug-
giles into existence, and gets dry
under TIE feathers, and with the nat
uTal heat Ct the hen.
All female birds, which SET on
their eggs to hatch them have the
hook in the besk strongly developed.
Even The broad-billed duck and the
goose have these hooks specially de-
seloped, and With them they liber-
ate theiryoung. 10 Australia, where
everything seems to be by contraries,
it is The cock Of the brush turkey,
that matches the eggs and not the
hen. Itwould be interesting TO know
whether the hook Of the beak is bet
ter adapted for this service in the
male Of .hat bird than in the female !;
the hook on the bedk of the ordiIa-
Nv cock Of the common fowl is quite
different from that of the hen-it is
adapted for Wounding in fight, bui
not for the hatching Of eggs.-Er-
change.

How TO BEAT WHITES OF EGGS.
On breaking eggs, take care
that none of the yolk becomes
mingled with the whites. A sin
gle particle will some times pre-
vent their foaming we'll. Put the
whites into large fat dish, and
beat them with an egg-beater
made of double wire, with a wire
handle, or with cork stuck cross
wise upon the prongs of fork.
Strike a rp,quick stroke through
the whole length of the DISH
Beat them in a cellar, or some 9TH
er cool place, till they look like
snow, and you can turn the dish
over without their slipping off,
Never suspend the process, nor let
them stand, even for one minute,
as they will begin to turn to a liq-
uid state, and cannot be restored,
and thus will make heavy cake.

Haggnf.s seal.

One of the most important, although
as yet disregarded discoveries made by
the Palestine Exploration Party at JerI-
salem, is the Seal of Haggai, the son of
Shebaniah, whom we take to be the Proph-
ct commissioned along with Zachariah to
forward the rebuilding of the House of
Lord, upon the return of the Jews from
Babylon, after the seventy years captiv-
ity and about the same number of years
before Nehemiah moved so heartily in
the completion of the restoration.
Haggai appears to have been deep in
the foundation of the restoration, and to
have left his Seal there. Whether drop
ped by accident, or left to be found, ''af-
ter many days" by the people appointed
TO exercise certain authority under the
seal OF prophecy, certain It is that Ine
Seal of "Haggai, the son of Shebaniah, "
has been found. 1t is noticeable that the
last words of Haggai, whose Seal has Just
now been brought to light after being bu-
ried so many centuries, are about the re-
turn to power of the man who had author
ity to effect the restoration of the Lords
House at Jerusalem, Haggai prophesied
about the year $40 B. c., or sixteen years
after the Jews had received permission,
at the end of the seventy years captivity
in Babylon, to return and rebuild the
Temple of Jerusalem.
The above remarks respecting this in
teresting discovery are taken from the
Watchman of Ephraim, a magazine of
much learning and research, containing
many articles of an original and unique
character.
