Seed Corn.

Those farmers who desire to improve
their seed corn must remember that the
work of selecting it must commence
now. -L-
There are two chief requisites In a
good corn, viz. early maturity and
prolifcness. We feel that there is too
little attention paid to this matter by
farmers generally. By neglect and in
dolence they viii neglect the season, for
selecting seed pass by; and next spring,
when they get ready to plant, they will
pay some more enterprising neighbor
two or three times the commercial value,
to get some good seed corn.
It is law of nature that like pro-
duces like, under like circumstances.
If we want to improve the earliness of
our corn crop, we must select our seed
from those stalks that first mature. As
rule, those ears mature first that
" shoot" first. Go through your field
and mark with a piece of red flannel, or
seraphim there, to the left, the world
of history, the walls on which are en-
graved a thousand victories, the Via
Sacra, where conquerors entered the
Forum, where the people gathered
those arches which twenty centuries
have passed without destroying those
refreshing baths, copied so often by
modern artists the coliseum, that
mountain sculptured by Titanic chisels;;
the quirinal, which contains the finest
statues saved from the wreck of Greece;
the capitol, head and cerebrum of the
world. At the sight of so many mar
wells, at the recollection of so much
grandeur, at the contemplation of such
monuments, framed IN grovesof cypress,
like funeral wreath placed by an in.
visible deity; at the soft music of BELLS
which invite to vespers, like the voices
of martyrs ascending from the cata-
combs the shadows of evening hnger-
ing sadly over the ruins, like the spirits
of departed heroes, the heart, svelIed
by emotions, confesses that Rome is
not only the capital Of Italy, but the
eternal centre of the world 2-Emftio

He Lost His Money by Indorsipg.

When l became twenty-one, my ia
ther began occasionally to divide around
among his children nice little sum in
cash, always accompanying the gift
with the assurance that If we ever in
dorsed for others, or in any way become
responsible for shortcomings, it was the
last money we SHOULD ever get from
him. This condition during his life
was of great value to me, and since
then have been accustomed to view
the invitation of my friend to indorse
for him in its true light, and my refu-
sal rarely fails to be properly received.
My neighbor is in active business, and
1 am only a farmer out of debt, with a
little at interest, bringing up and edu-
eating family of children. He comes
to me, holding out note for me TO
sign, saying &" I wish you would Just

an accommodation to me, and you Will
only have to write your name" My an

A Storm on the Coast.

A storm, like all great realities, is
grandest and when best seen It has
nothing togain from ndistinctness of
view. Night, if it increases the danger,
ceRoeals what the imagination can
hardly reproduce, and cannot surpass.
, The low, driving scad overhead is swept
along ceaselessly in formIess murIi-
ness; huge masses of foam, churned
up In the recesses of the rocks, are torn
up by the fierce blasts, Of the wind and
wK1rled wildly through the air, smiling
against the face of the cliffs and the
green banks above, which are fecked
with white as from the remains of a
snow-storm. The black, rocky coast
line to the south, until it is lost in a
sustained confusion of surging spray
and cloud, seems dwarfed under the
snoW-white columns that are hurled up
from its base, the SUBMITS of which,
struck by the level wind above, stream
far inland, ragged curtain of spray,
while the heaving masses thunder down
again in a Thousand cataracts. The
nearer piers, with their lofty staging,
are buried under the waves, which leap
a hundred feet above them as in sudden
surprise and wrath at their premature
arrest. Out at sea, as far as the eye
can penetrate, all is a scene of wild and
tumultumous commotion, multitude
nous as,the waving tops of forest-trees,
but incomparably more violent, no sue
pcessien or common motion can be OBJ
served, wave leaps above wave against
the lowering clouds, to fall back, burst
and bafaed, until nearing the shore,
theyCseem5 to marshal themselves for
assault, and, rushing on in swift sue
ceeding lines, rear up their turbid
might, bounding, quiYering, coiling,
until they precipItate themselves into
the gulf which foreruns them, or are
hurled pnBroken against the rocks.
Sometimes, before the break of such a
| storm, the. sun darts out for moment,
| and all the countless features of the
scene, before obscured in gloom and in
distinctness, stand out sharp and clear
as by supernatural revelation; OF, at
night, when the lower rack has been
swept away, and the upper clouds have
again piled themselves into masses, the
full moon pours down between them
| through the storm-washed, air-a food OF
stainless light, which transforms all the
terror and grandeur into wild beauty
and seraiE grace. The rocks and piers
are masked in shifting Wreaths of snow
white cloud, the crash and roar of the
/ breakers isoarriet1 off by the wind, and
the waves, now all siIver-white, appear
| to gambol and chase each other in
harmless play seemingly incapable OF
hurt to ship OF life and on the ex-
,trene verge. Of the horizon, beyond the
nearer light and farther darkness bound
ing it, there is a streak of purest,
calmest brightness, which seems to
SPEAK Of a1egion beyond all of perfect
light and peace. But it is very rarely
that smiling heaven thus transigures
the wrathful1 face Of the deep, and most
commonly storm dies out inther s1lIen
gloom which has been one of the most
striking and Oppressive features of its
previous course.--Ihe COrnltiH Maga-

Oil of Vitriol for Weeds.

use of oil of vitriol for destroying such

not be pointed, but should be notched

drop quite in the heart of the plantain

If the acid is good the work of death

travelled west and arrived at Salt Lake,
where they halted for few weeks. The

and coaxed him ito join their ranks.
After retiring one night in their canvas

broke the matter to his better-half, hint
ing to her that the Mormons told him he
had better "stay, settle among dem,
and take some more wives" Chow

writing from the camp on the west
slopes of the Rocky mountains, reports
that his expedition had attained the
summit of Mount Lincoln, and ascer-
tanned its elevation to be fourteen thou
sand three hundred feet. From this
point at least fifteen mountains were
seen, which are fourteen thousand feet
above the sea-leyel, and two hundred
and hfty having attitudes of thirteen
thousand feet above tide-water, while
ON the summit of Mount Lincoln the
desired peak was revealed, which bears
the name Of "a Holy Cross" and is COM
puted to be seventeen thousand feet
high. On its eastern face are two deep
assures, crossing each other at right
angles, making a perfect cross, and
which at all seasons of the year are
filed with snow. This mountain is
believed to be the highest in North
America.
