Mr. Editor: lin my former coinmmunioatlon, I stated soine facts concerning the seeds of the Chi- a nese hemp aid the early growth of (lie plant. V Whent the plant s are three inelion high, they should be transplanted ; one writer says, in a stronger soil; another writer sayst, they l should be transplanted far from .mulberry a trees. Tito beds on whioh the young plants y are yet growing should be vatered on the night before traisplanting; ot the next morning, ihe beds to which the young plants are tranisfvrrel should he watered before C the transplantuing takes placo. Wheii trans planted, a smiall hunip of eart I is left'around tle roots Unit the plants should be four inch os apart Thite hemp may form a border to corn and e vegetables, and by this nioans those are pro- C let'd front tle depredlitions of domestlio niinals, all of which animals avoid the ihemp. At tlie end of from three to five dy: -s lie plants should '>o watered and Ihe wa ering should lie kept up for twenty dayt every three or futir days when the weather 1 is dry; then they ean be watered every t tenth or fifteeit Ilay. Ili November and December they are to be inanured with hors.o or buffalo dung, C eart I, straw or any rubbish. a foot. or more hliok to protcet them froncold. III March the manure is to be raked away, tle phitit to be exposed and watered in dry weather; any kind ot rubbish can then be used for ima. nuro except tle dung of swine which is said to be salt ish and injurious. In the third and fourth year (some say the second) tle plant may be cut and used. } Tle licmp when it becomes fit for use, yields three crops every year. The first, eutting takes place in June. A caution is given lest (Ie yotung shoots should be cut, when per soils are engaged in cutting theoriginal stem. T We are told therefore to keep an inch from the V grotund. In a month or two after the first d cutling, the second takes place. The origi nal si em is not to be ert at the second cut ting. but the shoots are to be cut. At this cutting tie shoots are seven or eight feet high. During the last part of $eptember or October tlie last cutting is performed, fron which the linest cloth is made, the first be iiig inferior, coarse and hard After each cuttbing the lplant is to be covered with mni nuro and watered. The plants should, 0 however, bo watered in the night or in a cloudy weather; they should never be wa tered inl full sunshino. If this is dono they will rust. At Canton, there is a plant belonging to heip family, that is pulled up by the roots, instead of beiing cut. S I close with an extract from a Chinese [ work the Imperial Encyclopedia of Agricul ture. It has considerablo reference to the sidclars of the hemp. ' When tle tufts of the chau/I mah are very thick, tlie eartI Aout thtemi is dug away and the suckers detaolied and transferred ; after which the main stock vegetates with more vigor. At the end of four or five years, the bottoms of th roots become thickly matted together, when they are divided and transplanted to other ir beds. Some farmors bury (lie stalks length- tj wise in tle carth and thus obtain layers. When a bel becomes too crowded, a new one is NVeie, which is roon followed by an. & other, whereby the number of plants is in, 1b definitely inoreased. A rich soil is chosen beforehand, and well prepared in the autumn, and manured with tine dung ; and in the following spring, the shoots are set out. Thme best, time for doinig a thisi is when vegetation starts,'and next to that (as it respects suitableness) whca the new shoots appear'. The third period, or he least. suitable, is when the suckers have 0 a:'endy at tained - a considerable sizo. The li new planits ar'e placed about eighteen inch. t es aimr, and when the roots have been well g surrundied with carthI, they are watered. In siumer or autumi n , It. is well to Improve tie tinto when theo earth is moistened by Si rain to) tranispdant tem, but a cloid of so I shold lie kept abioiit thle root s."' I imay con-. tnun my commnunicat ions on this subject.

While vocal music should be practiced with a regard to Certain rules, It Is certain rt that. no particular rutles are observed. IDistinctness of pronunciation should be lie first requisite in the qjualification for good Church , music. WVhat, advantage is there in "caw-hmaw-baw.-ing" over a se ries of stanzas In poetry? Let the mouth bie well opened, and each syllable of each word be brought, out with dis-tict articulation, and emphasis, where 25 it is needled, and not mouthed tip like an over .. doe~ of hot mush anid cold1 water. One element in singing is to give clear ar ticulation, arid to (10 this, proper attention b shoul be paid to euphony of sound, If the expression may be allowed. Vowels should run into vowels with a ] marked distinct ion of sound, or where the terminnl vowel ruins Into the opening one, it should be with a disthict, separation ; as for instance, when the former is "c0" and the latter the same letter, thme vowel should *1 have the soundI of "'o" as In "boi,"' butt: when It (c) terminates a word before anoth- d< Cr beginmning with a conionatnt then the "c" fo shoul have the sound of "e" as-In thme sea cound syllable of counterfi.ii Another feature in pronunciation when practised in singing Is, to follow, not the p~ practico ofthle singer, but that of the cenm poser. For instane, when a writor miakes the word "wind" rhyme \tith thio wordh "ind," no matter what many have been the (h practilee, or edutcation of the singer, be or she should pronounce the word with a long ' Thoso hints are thtrown out becauseo they are not snapplicabloi In many oases of singing as we have it In thIs dlay cc and generation. If any application can be (h madte of theim, or any further thoughts sug-. in gested utpon titemi, thme pmurposo of this-brief notice will lac accomiplished. 1a'1.
