Ned waa a poor boy, the youngest of a large family, whose father, Seth, sr., and Germima, bad died when he was quite a child, and had been raised by ^or rather grown up aoeordingto the laws of nature) in the horfse of an old grand mother, who lived in alittlc smokey cabin about twelve mii'H from Tarboro' town; ho had never been to school, nor to the court-house but onoe to see a general muster; had heard of the Revolutionary War, and of Gen. Washington, but bad no distinct idea of what the first meant, or whether the GenW oral was yet president, or in fact what was the meaning of president. He ha.i heard a good deal about witches, jack-o-iue1 an terns, ghosts, haunted houses, dec.? i With this stock of worldly knowledge, at the age of 18, he started out with squire i Massey as one of his family, and drove i one ot tnose little cart*, which distinguish themselves, from that interesting section of < old North Carolina, to seek his fortuue, < "oveWhe hills and far away." I Not more than a week after the movers i had set oat, an incident oocurml to Ned, which I am now about to relate, and 1 which came near proving fatal to the i young mau at the very threshold of his manhood; and the relation of which, in his own earnest and peculiar style, has in i after days, cost many a suspender and i waistband button to the fortunate few 1 who have heard the story from his own 1 mouth. And for the benefit of those who i never knew Ned, or heard him tell the , adventure, I will try and relate it in his j * own words: "One night," says Ned, " we stopped on or About the line of South Carolina, afore day the Squire waked me up: i * says he? y .

By this y time I could soe the heads of several nig- c gere, some black, and some mallnttcrs, J grinning at mo through tho glass win- ? dows; hut I had no suspicion; a big old yaller feller opened the door, and bowed R mighty polite.

Igriruftural. Cutting Wheat Early. Wheat raisers havo now alninet univerally adopted the practice of cutting their vhcat early, whether the grain is for flour ?r seed. There is nothing lost in weight >y this practice, as the berry fills rapidly uid thoroughly after the straw is cut, ami s plump and heavy. When seed has l>oen offered to become dead ripe, as the phrase s, it will perhaps keep better than that vhich has been cut sooner ; yet practical nen havo remarked that seed simply ripe terminates more readily, and with greatr vigor than the former. So far as the mere preservation of vitally is concerned, the thorough maturation f the seed before cutting is probably of dvantage, but this perfection of the proess adds nothing to the nutriciousness of ho crop. It is the perfect elaboration of arixm in the grain, that ensures the long 'reservation of tho vital principle in grain, nd where this is imperfect, there is a renkness and want of energy in germinaing economy which Alerts a harmful and tultifying influence upon the progeny; et grain may bo cut when a little past tie milk, and dried iu tho hull, w ithout ny detriment to its producing |>ower(r? >ata cut in tho milk, arc preferable "to hose cut when perfectly ripe, and tho traw is also improved, and of much greasr value, when ao cut for food.?

Culture of the Tomato. * This most excellent vegetable is fast Incoming an indispensable article of diet ritli the rich and the jnoor, and it is forunate that it is so?for with its peculiar aror raw, and the innumerable ways in rhich it can l>c cooked, it ranks high in lie catalogue of dainties, and is, withal, no of tho very best vermifuges that can o taken into the stomach. Negroes nnd luldrcn siiuu'd l>?vo free access to tlie oinato vines. Who would not prefer iking Tomatoes, nicely sliced, with a !itio pepper, salt and vinegar over them, to alomel 1 or even who would not prefer liem stewed, with a little sugar and hut ir, an?l some grated bread, to a blue pill ? omatoes arc exceedingly oasy of culture -growingin almost.any soil; but like I moat every other plant, are immensely nprovod when cultivated in rich soil.? 'omatoea, to bo grown in their greatest erfection, should not be allowed to ripen icir fruit on the ground. The fruit is inlined to rot, find even the spund ones ave and earthly taste. When the plant i six inches high, it should be trained to ushes; or what is better still, make a ame work, of laths, placing the frame sch side of the vines. Shade the ground round the vines with leaves aud straw, nd they will grow five feel high, loading ach iide lath with their beautiful fruit, ffording every facility to the picker.? | rines cultivated in this way, will oontine bearing until frost. Young Tomato lants are easily transplanted. They may e set out any time when tho ground is aoderately moist, by shading the plants rom the sun a few days. Poultry and Eggs.
