wonder have YOU vet forgot

wonder have you yet forgot
When we went riding by steam?
Our faces glad were oft'times caught
In shadows cool, then sunshine's CLEAN.
We left mill that rumbling chimed
With falling waters by its side,
Then up the roads steep bank we climbed
Until these distant noises died.
October mellow monthl-did seem
On that fair day, mid rustling leaves,
To picture scenes as in dream,
And dotted fields with yellow sheayes.
0, Genevieve! what an hour was that,
When after riding through the wood
We turned back DER the woodland plat
That borders by the river road
And long and often have | thought
OF that return-nor could / say
But that my fancy may have wrought
With magic wand, that olden way.
And have seen It's winding course?
And did ride its leafy aisles?
IL seemed there Beauty had its source,
And flowed on either hand for miles.
Our faces looked unto the west
Until you glanced aside and found
new grave by the roadside, dressed
With Autumn leaves-a small brown mound
And turned, and had me turn and see
That rounded turf, and then supposed
That you in its deep core should be
In dreamless slumber, earth enclosed.
And wist you that that grave was yours?
Why, Genevieve, how you frightened me-
had not thought you thought of shores
That bound earth and eternity.
If that were your grave there, I'm sure
I'd wish another near, and dressed
With leaves as brown, and earth as DID,
Then my heart too, with yours, would rest
Well, comet our youthful pulses yet must play
And graves concern the old not young;
Our lives should many sunny day
Yet see, and words much merrier slip thy
tongue
Then let the mill creak day by day,
And let the stream its waters sweep,
While hope and health shall hold their sway
We will not care to take daath's sleep
As rests your cross above your mound
So let mine rise above its sod;
Let each point from the self-same ground,
r OF % II noint inward towards God

Cultivation of Corn.

A correspondent of the Scientific Ameri-
can, IN writing of the cultivation of corn,
says:
lie stalk of corn be taken, just before
the appearance of the tassel or towering
stock, and cross cut be made at each
Joint, small ear of corn will be seen at
each cut, and if carefully disSected it
will be seen to be perfect III all parts. If
now, another stalk be taken, little fur
Their advanced, 80 that the tasSel may be
readily seen, and the same cut now made,
we shall find 40 appearance of an embryo
at the lower joints, but shall find some at
the upper A third stalk taken when
the tassel is in readiness to bloom, will
show the ears which arc TO be developed
into the crop, but no Others.
This observation, which was repeatedly
verified last year in various fields of corn
and explained and demonstrated to many
individuals, can receive only the follow
ing Interpretation: Nature has made
provisions for an ear of corn at each joint
of the stock; but as the stalk develops,
from some unknown reason, the major
number Of these embryo ears are absorbed
into the plant, and but one, or occasion
ally more, are developed.
Now. if, through human interference,
these embryo ears are to be developed
into crop, the requisite action must take
place before the absorption takes place,
in which these ears are present in the
plant to he developed. Theory indicates
that a check to the yegetative luxuri-
ance of the plant At this period, would
nave influence in promoting the profit
cacy. Experiment has shown that root
