MISCELLANEOUS. THK DYING MAIDKN. When a medical student in Philadelphia,! wa9 taken by rm instructor to the residence of Kloisa. The lovely made was on her death bed; I had known her about two years. Wheal I first saw this charming girl, 6he was all 'Tife, light and joy." The rose bloomed upon her cheek while love sported in everv graceful ungb t,and the thcrial brightness of the diamond sparkled in her full dark eye. S ae had fixed her affections on n noble hearted youth, whose lofty soul whs every way worthy of her. With him I yv. is also acquainted. I saw him on the last morning he ever beheld the

But, by cutting ai d putting them up vvef, they heccme mouldy, sour, and acid, and unfit for fodder, which lias given rise to the absurd custom among farmers of permitting their corn-stalks to stand until they arc weather-beaten, and most of the leaves blown away, ontil every nutricious principle has vanished ; until, in fact, they arc good for nothing ere thev arc cut.

superiority in human nature, than that

of worth and virtue, it demonstrates, that death hurls his darts alike at all and that, in the; grave, all share one common fate, to moulder and decay ; and as y.-e pass on, from stone to stone, from tomb to tomb, and cither rellect upon the inscriptions or upon the actions which distinguish the persons they mark, a voice seems c ontinually ascending to our ears, say ing, "Live righteously that you may die good and live again to immortality of happiness and glory !" " THE CONTRAST. There is a place on earth, where pure joys arc unknown from which politeness ha9 banished and has given place to selfishness, contradiction, and half veiled insult. Remorse and inquietude, like furies, that are never yveary of assailing, torment the inhabitants. This place is the house ofa wedded pair, who have no mutual love nor even esteem. There is a place, on eaith, to yvhich vice has no entrance, where the gloomy passions have no empire

ploughing and harrowing. For uoi-

king the ground when it is too wet, will fail cf bringing on the needful termination, and tend to make it too close and compact to nourish plants. At least, these operations may leave the sci! a? unfit to nourish plants as thev found if. It is of no small importance,! confess, that spring wheat and rye be forward, so that they may not be late in ripening. And a good method of quickening these crops, is steeping and liming the seed. The same end may be promoted by lep dressings with waim composts, ashes', iV-C Rut land designed for this use, should be ploughed and laid rough in autumn. It will be the earlier in a condition to receive the seed in hf. spring. Arul none but the driect parhs ofa farm should commonly be employed for crops of :-piing wheat or spring rye.. As to barley and oats they will bear t be sowed rather laff-r; Asd therefore; are more fit to occupy the lower and wetter parts of a farm. Oats especially are often found to produrcgrcat crcps in such situations, if they be not sown too early ;or before the land is fufiicicutly dry for the operations of tillage.
