might be really u?eful to those she

sought to improve. She wished fo

make them not only accomplished but informed; and "her new system," as it

was called, was subject to many animadversion, both from her relatives

and their friends, who, aa usual on ueh occasions, quite forgot what Miss Sunderland had been in what she was, treated her merely as the "governess,"

and admitted her only as such into

their houses. At one of Che6e visits, which she continually shrank from, and only endured as an occasional penance, she met with the very Ernest Heathwood, whom Rose so unwittingly alluded to during their evening's walk. The eldest son of a baronet, who, with his new honors, had changed, it was understood, a mercantile for a somewhat aiistocratic name, was a likely person to attract attention, and wjn

They were again taken up in March, and produced 50ti plants. The number of ears thus form ed from one grain of wheat was 21,209, which gave 3 1-4 pecks of wkeal weig!. ing 74lbs. 7ez. and estimated at 591.000 grains. This yeai Mr. Lance, cf Lewifham, had been transplanting it, and in every instance the root transplanted is better than these remaining in the seed bed. He alo divided a root in February, which then contained 14 straws; it was separated into seven roots"; they are now, June 16, in number 170 straws, and nearly all out in ear; many of the cars are 6 inches

long, and appear as if they would yield

70 grams in each ear. This would make 1 1,90 grain from one. There are many minor straws not taken into this account. Many of the transplanted roots contain 40 ttid 50 straws, and are six feet high, with some ears that are seven inches long. The soil int which this was transplanted is an alluvial sand, which has had a top dressing of chalk. Transplanting offers employment for redundant laborers.
