GRASSES FOR PASTUURE.-A corrcSpon-
dent of the Southern Cuhivator, makes the
following inquiry I'll had n very fine clo-
yer patch which seeded last year and died
out, it came up very sparsely this spring.
but not anything like stand | have
ploughed it up to plant in corn, hoping the
clover will come up this fall and make me
another pasture ; but as | am of opinion
that clover will not live in this country more
than two years, and cannot be pasturcd the
first year, thereby losing the land one half
the time, | have concluded to SOW some 9TH
or kind of grass which will make a pcrlna.
ncnt pasture. How will Blue grass do I?
is there any grass better? say for winter and
summer pasture. If SOW Blue grass, when
shall sow, and how much per acre ? If
you think any other grass better, say what,
how and when to SOW? recollcctng [ am
planting corn on the land.
10 which the Editor of that journal re.
plies by moving clover twice, and if
necessary three times, in season, so as to
prevent its seeding, its life may be prolonged
one or more years. On the other hand if
allowed to mature good crop of seed, the
land becomes imprcgnated with them, and
you may count upon a good catch Of clover
whenever it is seeded down in small grain.
We have good stand of clover now on
land that was seeded but once, and that ten
years ago. No one kind Of grass will fur
nish both winter and summer pasture
Blue grass on land adapted to it (rich strong
clay or lime) furnishes excellent grazing in
early spring and late autumn, but gives a
poor bite in hot weather. a mixture of
Blue, Orchard and Herds grass, and White
clover would be better than any single grass
say bus. Blue, | bus. Orchard, bus
Herds: and 6 lbs. White clover to an acre
For summer pasture properly all means
have a Bermuda lot. Take corn off the
land as early as possible--plough and har-
row very thoroughly, SOW seed and very
slightly brush in. Do this, if possible, by
the first Of October

Sow CLovER.-Sow clover. 1t will
pay you. a good clovor pasture means
fat stock and yellow rolls Of butter in
abundance. Nothing in the way OF green
crops equals clover, as fertilizer Of ex-
haustcd soils, if turned under at the proper
stage. 1t will pay to raise clover for the
seed alone, which will always command a
fair price in tho market. The first crop of
clover can be grazcd, or cut for hay, as one
deems best; the 2nd crop saved for the
seed. The long tap.roots Of the clover,
which penetrate far down into the soil. af
ter dccaying, add greatly to the fertility Of
the soil. One season in clover, puts the
land in splendid fix for any kind Of grain.
Since we have such vast acres of land in
the South, which arc so well adapted to the
successful growth Of this valuable plant, it
would seem that red clover should receive q
much greater share of attention than it
now does with US SO. Lire ,Niock ,JDur-

OLD Love LErTERs.-Only bundle of
old yellowcd paper tied together by faded
ribbon, these are all that may be left to
remind the gray haired creature that tear
fully bends over them of one on whom the
grassy sod may have mouldcrcd for years,
or whose affections trfcd with by her. have
found dwelling place in more constant
heart. This tearsained packet is all that
connects the present with the past, and as
pores over its contents, the frosty clasp Of she
years is revealed before the burning words
cf love, only to be clinchcd tighter as stern
realities now draw the curtain of regret
before all the alluring promises of the long
ago. From these faded lines the chord
OF memory runs back to the time when they
grew fresh and glossy beneath the writer's
hand, mute messengers from n burning
hearth that breathcd its love upon the page
But why touch the chord when every note
awakens longing that can never be graft
fed, for who can recall an echo from the
past? Fold them up carefully; they are
the tomb Of your own dead hopes, mouldor-
ing slowly into nothingncss. Peace to their
ashes.

challenge to Logan of Illinois, to meet him
an the field of honor. The difference grew
out of statement made BY Lowe about two

gentleman ID reported to have said that Logan
on the eve of the rebellion contemplated en-
tering the Confederate service; that he raised
three regiments of troops in Illinois which
entered and fought in the Confederat army
and that just prior to the departure of these
regiments from Illinois Logan deserted them.

LADIES, perhaps it would be best for you
to make it an invariable rule to refuse every
man who asks your hand in marriage. OF
course we know that it is your general rule
already, but now and then, semi rarely though
it be, one of you does accidentally forget
herself and marry man. Now, there was
that bachelor over there in, Manchester Eng
land, who had proposed to, and been rejected
by thirty different women. He died the
other day, leaving his property to be di-
vided equally among those who had Tilted
him. The reason for this bequest, which he
stated in his will, was that he felt himself in
their debt, for it was to their opportune re-
fusals that he owed the peace which he en-
joyed through life.

THE Standard denies the soft impeachment
that the Bodie placer mines were sailed. 1t
justi6es the breeze it caused thuswise: There
is considerable gold all over the town of Bo-
die, which could be worked with profit if there
was sufficient water. In some places there
are rich deposits, and it was one of these
which caused the excitement This deposit
was probably caused by the decomposition of
a rich quartz boulder, and we believe it was
genuine and no sailing about it, Subse-
qnently, however, other parties, seeking to
make market for their locations, did salt
their claims, but as none of them were sold
no particular damage was done. If water is
ever brought in here in sufficient quantity,
we expect to see the town get good washing
A GOOD story is told of Rev. Haley Proc
tor, who once preached in Rutland, Vt. One
bitter cold day, when the church was but half
warmed, brother Proctor had for his text
very warm verse, addressed to those on the
left hand, and like the rest of US, he seemed
to feel the antagonism between the weather
and his subject. Just before the benediction
he leaned forward and said to one of the dea-
cons in front of the pulpit, in tones loud
enough to be heard by all, and in the nasal
twang that can only be appreciated by those
who have listened to the venerable Eli Jones,
"'Grother Griggs, do you see that this house
is better warmed this afternoon, it's no kind
of use for me to warn sinners of the danger OF
hell, when the very idea is comfort to them
