About once in twenty years, a current

New Jersey coast. commencing at some
point at or near Barnegat, and working
northerly until it loses itself at Sandy
Hook. This is the year for the pointing
Of such current against the beach at
Long Branch, and by succession of un-
usual high tides and easterly storms it
has been productive of much damage
/ The points Of the greatest destruction
are in front of the Ocean House where
the bank has been washed away within
twenty FIVE feet Of the road, and in front
of the Mansion, where, in one point, it
approached within sixteen feet of the
avenue. Mr. Lands loss in buildings
and land, amounts to several hundred
dollars, but as the set of the current
seems to have passed on, it is probable
that the loss TO the last is about over,

is wider, and the destruction will be nec-

SINGING IN FAMILIES.

Children are delighted with poetry at
early age; and what is loved in early life
cannot be easily effaced in later years. A
lady informed US few days since, that
when very little girl, she had learned
hundreds Of hymns and poetical effusions
| - net Of childish, but ofia pure and
elevated character. This early disci
pine, she says, has been safeguard to
her all her life-a preservation against
sin and folly. ae % aig s5oi5aasl-ai
Among the German forefathers it was
a common practice, lin professedly Chris
! tian families, to teach their children
hymns and spiritual songs, The chill
drsn had thus useful employment afford
ed them to gil up the time whirh would
otherwise have been spent in idleness, if
not in something worse. Frequent rep
etitions Of them at intervals, prompted
to efforts to connect the poetry with
music, and this gradually led them to
acquire taste and cultivate talent for
singing. To this simple practice may
be attributed, in great degree, the
finely cultivated musical talent of the
German people. 99A 2 sa'l

where good music is cultivated, where
the parents and children are accustomed
to mingle their voices together in song,
and we will show you one, in almost ev-
cry instance, where peace, harmony and
love prevail, and where the greater vices
have no abiding place.

As the time for sowing wheat Is at
hand, II may not be amiss to enquire
1.-THE lansls, set apart for it, reception,
have been properly prepared, with
an eye to success. The farmers have
learned, from bitter experince, that
they canncs afford to fail, and sound
policy dictates the adoption ofthe very
best means 70 prevent the recurrence
Of the failure Of this year. The best
security against such recurrence, Is to
appropriate the best land to the
growth Of wheat, and to SOW not an
acre that Is not prepared In the best
manner. This being done, the next
consideration is the quality of the
seed. 1t is MS idle to expect a fine
crop from Indifferent seep, as fine
stock, from the poorest scrub-breed,
and we very much doubt whether
there Is bushel Of wheat in this
county perfect enough to be relied
upon for fair crop next year. The
failure of this seasons crop can, We
think, he traced to the inferior quail
ty of the proceeding crop, and to risk
the same wheat, for u third time,
seems like counting third failure.
Would it not be wise then, to sell, to
the millers, the wheat reserved for
seed, and buy a pure and well matur-
ell grain, no matter where 1t may
have grown. Seeds are deprecated
by failures, no matter from what
cause, and changes Of seed are benfici-
al, even when there may be no appa-
rent necessity for it. We are not suf-
ficiently acquainted with vegetable
physiology to give the reasons, but
experience has demonstrated the
truth of the theory, and we think the
farmers will do well TO act according
to Its teachings. Their motto should
be-good land, thorough preparation,
perfect seed, and no failure. W =
