And Pauline Sedlev yawned, as she looked oat over ilia purpling tints of ths twilight sea, where now and then the reflection of a star seemed to splash into the waves. It was a golden Angust evening, moonless not radiant with the balmy air full of tho new-made liav, mil gling not nnpleasantly witb the salt breath of the sea. and the sky all glorious with the dolphin-like bnes of the dying day, and Miss Sedlev, sitting on the hotel balcony in her wi ite robes of Indian muslin, girded with scarlet, and scarlet verbenas In her hair, made an exceedingly pretty ad jnnct to the scone.

From that day, the gay little world at the fashionnble watering j place were astonished at the devo lion accorded by Major Living stone to Miss Scdley. Pauline was tnoro than nsfon ished, she was elated and overjoyed. Major Livingstone was a man who was sought and courted by all the belles ot society ; a man whose magnetic eyes, as alio herself had termed it, and gently modulated voice, were enough to set any wo man* Heart on fire.

It was the evening before tliu dopartnro of the gay party that had enlivened the sea side hotel all summer, and a brilliant ball bad been gotten tip to celebrate the close of the brief, happy season.? Paulino Sedley bad dressed for the occasion with unusual care? somehow 6he felt it was to be a crisis in ber life.

'1 lie hind best adapted to the cultivation ot' tl.c onion is that of light, loamy texture approaching to sand, and should he so prepared as to insure the advantages of a considerable degree of heat with out becoming pnrchcd or too dry in seasons of drouth.

A spot of ground was shown some years since in Scotland, which had been cultivated in this crop for eighty years, and the last crop taken was, to all appearances, as good as the proprietor had any tecollection of. I have have cultivated the onion for six consecutive years on same piece of soil, without ploughing or digging, the surfaco being merely lighten ed and prepaicd for the reception of the seed by raking, and without the application of a single particle of excrement, or ra'her fcrinentahlo matter; soot and ashes and plaster being the only applications allowed.?JY.

In those parts of tho country where clover is raised with difficul ty, peas of various kinds grow well, ut small expo se and with great profit. In parts of Ponaylvauia, Maryland and in the Valley of Virginia, clover requires no other preparation than that made for the wheat crop, on which it is sowed in the month of March. This sowing is ofteu done vory carelessly, by men walking by guess across a largo Held, distributing the seed with as much regularity as they can with the thumb and two fingers. It is strange how so many seed find lodgment suitable and come up. Often largo fields are well set by sowing one gallon per acre, managed in this way. We wilt 6ay to our readers in the South, where peas thrive, that clover is not so valuable a crop as the pea. As a fertiliser, the pea is incomparably the best. The hay which the clover affords, unless it is well mixed with some other kinds of grass, is not the best for stock of any kind.? Indeed, clean, fresh, wheat straw is preferable for horses, and corn fodder, we know by actual experiment, is better for cows. On the other hand, the peas, which may he gathered without impairing the fertilizing effects of the crop, arc more valuable for hogs an not improve the soil as it did at first. The tap-root, in which ] consists the clover's main improving power, after n few crops, seems to he unable to find in the subsoil the plant food, which was abundant at first. We published in this paper on the 24th of June last, an article on the blaek-eycd pea and the white eyed Hack pea as a fertilizer , and in it we gave tlte result of an experiment made in th's neighborhood some years ago. The pea was sowed after harvest, on the 6tubble. and put in with small pi ?ws. They were turned under at the usual time for seeding wheat, and the crop which followed was an inerea-te of ? than one hundred per cent, over the preceding one. Tlio same cout?0 was pursued after this harvest. and it was continued for four \eai6, \v>th the same remarkable results ; the first crop being four bus elsot wheat per acre, und the fourth twenty seven bushels. No fertilize! of any kind, but the pea, was used. A case, remarkably similar, we met with a few days ago; which wc published below. These two experiments prove enough to inauce every farmer where the pea thrives to adopt the plan with confidence. We desire to give our agricultural friends the result of a careful experiment, made l?y a planter in Guinnett county, to encourage them to make similar efforts.? Our Guinnett planter had a piece of old exhausted land, twenty acres of which had been lying in broom sedge for a npmber of years. This he broke deep with a turn plow in the summer, and in the succeeding fall put down in wheat. The crop, carefully mcailiro.d W!L? A litll? 1..CO till" ? w ? .....V ?vuu Iiuui XKJUk bushels to the acre. As soon us the wheat was cut, he sowed JKJH8, at the rato ot two bushels to thoncrc. Early in Octo* ber, the peas were turned under with a deep furrow, and a few weeks later, wheat was sown and carefully harrowed in upon the l>ea sod. The yield from the crop was nine bushels to the acre, a little more than double the first year's crop. The field was again sown in peas, as soon as the wheat was harvested, and turned under as before, in the fall, and wheat sown upon the soil. The yield this year was seventeen and a half bushels. The fourth year, with the samo treatment, ho made twenty seven bushels, and this (the fifth) year, the crop bids fair to make forty bushel*. Nothing had been applied to the land as a fertilizer, except the pea, and we find that in five years, with the cow yea alone, tho production has inn eased ten fold. ! This actual experiment speaks more for the pea than any aigu! nient which we could make. We trust some of our planting j friends will be induucca to trv - ? "J I the pea on the next crop oi wheat, and let us know the result of their experiment.? Chronicle and JStii I tliwl, A uyusta. (ie< r your t partner's ace."
