' Lifo. The mere lapse of years is not life. To cat and drink, and sleep; to be exposed to dark ness and the light; to pace round in the mill of habit, and turn the wheel of wealth, to make reason our book-keeper; and turn thought into^m implement of trade?this is not lifo. In all this, but a poor fraction of tho conscious ness-of humanity is awakened; and tho scant i ties still slumber which make it worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, love, boauty, good ness, faith alone can give vitality to tho me chanism of existence, the laugh of mirth which vibrates through the heart, the tears that freshen tho dry waters within, the music that brings childhood back, tho doubt which makes us meditate, the death which startles us with mystery, the hardship which forces us to strug gle, the anxiety that ends in trust arc the true nourishments of our natural being. AGRICULTURAL, &C. Production of Sexes at Will. For many years, eminent naturalists have been satisfied of the near discovery of a practi cal way to produce the sexes at will. M. Thury bad the good luck to bo tho first one in putting the law in practi^o, as tho following certificate shows, translated nearly in its fm"Extent: UI, tho undersigned, Ocorge Corhaz, tho overseer of the estato o;f my late father, M. A. Cornaz, President of the "Sociotie d* Agricul ture, do la Suiftc rdinandc, Montct, Canton de Vaud " do hereby certify, that having recoived from M, Thury, a Profossor at tho " Academic do Geneve," on the 18th day of February, 3861, somo confidential directions, for the pur pose, of verifying, by experiments, the law regulating tho production of soxes amongst the animals. I used with my herd of cows the directions given by M. Thury, and I obtained immediately^ without any variation, all the. ex pected results and succisics. In the first place, on twenty-two successive occasions, I desired to hhvo heifers. My cows werd of Schwitg breed, and my bull a puro Durham, I suc ceeded in all these case?: Having bought a pure Durham ?;ow, it was very important for mo to have ? nevr bull,'top?percede 'he one I bad bought a% great expense, and without loav Sa l &Hqw0t]| accordingly,; tho .prescriptions ,of Ph)f.'Thury, and tho Buooess^h'aai proved onco more (he truth of the law. I have obtained from my Durham bull, six more.bulls (SohwitB Durhnm cross,) for field work; and having chosen cows' of the same color and hieght, X obtained perfect luotphos ?f b^?p.'; . 3jy herd amounted to 40 oows of every oge. '?In short, I have mjtdo in all, 29 . experi ments after the new method, and in every one, I succeeded in the production of what I was looking for, male or fomalo.. ";I had not one tingle failure. All the experiments have been made by myself, without any other person's in tervention. Consequently, I do declare that I ?consider as real and certainly perfect, the me thod of Professor Thury," &c., &c. "Done at Montet, February tho 13th, 1863. [Signed] G. CORNA55." On the 17th of August, 1863, M. Thury submitted a memorial to the "Academic de Sciences de Paris," and the French Emperor ordered tho renewing of the experiments, in several largo "formes modcles." These curious trials have been made also, with equal success, in the case of other animals, as horses, sheep, goats, &c. It is also known, that with hen's eggs, the first laid give female and the last laid eggs give mole products. The law is general, %till the end of the laying season, whon tho number of female production oxcoed the male, undor circumstances not yet sufficiently ascer tained to be reported. ? It is on account of this hew practical law, that the people can explain why the stock raiser must give young bulls to his cows. Tho bull, -when young is prompt, and meets the female at the begining of ' the "heat;" instead ofn bull old or exhausted, or lazy, by long service, which meets the cow only at the end of the heat. The first gives heifers?tho second produces generally males. The law for the stock-raisdrs and farmers is as follows : If you wish to produce females, give the male at the first signs of "heat;" if you wish male, givo him at the' end 'of tho heat.?Southern Cultivator. Hints About Housekeeping. We will give to intellect, to religion, and to. all virtures, the'honor that belongs to them. A nd still it may bo boldly affirmed that econo my, taste, skill and neatness in the kitchen, have a great deal to do in making* lifo happy and prosperous. Nor is. it, indispqnsnbly necessary that a house should be filled with luxuries. The qualifications for all good housekeeping can be displayed as well on a small scale as on a large one. Skillful cooking is as readily discovered in a nicely baked potato or a rcspcctablo johnny cake, as in a nut brown sirloiu or a brace of canvass backs. Tho charm of good housekeeping is the or der of economy and taste displayed in attention to little" things,' and these little things have a wonderful influence. A dirty kitchen hod bad cooking have driven many a ono from homo to seek for ooiufbrt and happiness somewhere else. Domestic economy is a science?a theory of life which all .sensible women ought to study and practice None of our excellent girls are fit to'be married .until they are thoroughly educated in tho doep and profound, mysteries of the kitchen. Sec to it, all yc who are mothers that your daughters are all accomplished by an experi mental knowledge of good housekeeping. Cuttinq Grain a Century Aoo.-hA. correspondent of the Gcrmantown (Pcnn.) Telegraph gives 1756 as the date at which the common grain cradlo was introduced, and de scribes tho modo of harvesting In use at .that time as follows: Thoy took tho common grass scythe and bored a hole in tho snath near the lower nib, which wns bent over on the heel of the scythe and fastened, the rod being about twelve inches off from the snath; n string was tied across from the iron rod to the snath in several places for the purpose of proventing tho grain from falling through. With this rough tool tho farmer cut his grain by always keeping the grain on his left hand, instead of the right as we now do, so as to support the snath. Fol lowing bun was a fellow with a roaping hook, to put iuto sheaves, and then followed the binder. For every two mowers and two gatherers there was ono binder, who could keep up, excopt in honvy grain. The usual day's work for these five men was. five acres, if the grain stood Up. .
