AGRIOULTURE. CnOSSH FnTILIZATION OF CORN. Prof. Beal, of Michigan, propose to try thoroughly the advantage of cros sing cornthe seed of which is o)tained from localities remote from each other. After obtaining seed the product of this cross, he is to employ It to plant the next year, and to observe what improvement in productiveness is thus secured. He has associated with him several scientific agriculturalists In different parts of the west, all of w'hom are to make the trail. For the infor mation of those who may wish to try Lite same experiments, we give briefly the direetioma: Each man in his own state Is to select two lots of corn of lie same sort, but grown in localities for at least live years, and at least hun dred miles away from each other. Theie aie to be planted in two separate vets of alternating rows, thinning out feeble stalks and making both ptr feot)y alike. As soon as the tassels appear pull them all out in every al. Wrnate row, so that the pulled rows shall be crossed with the pollen from the alternate rows. Save the seed sep arately from the alternate rows in two lots. Tie seed iron the toppe por tion will all be crossed from tie untop. pod portion; while the untopped rows will be all sell-lertilized. For the second year, plant the two kinds care fully seecteu plate, about four rods by eight iI extenL. On one, plait the eroased seeti; on anothe plia the tn crossed seed. On other plots, repeat the expteriteit of the pr-evious year, by pianting crossed sceds in alternate rows wiLtli unciossed sted from both souices. the inhowitatice of carefully registering every operatLona in obvious. The measured trops will show what advantage is derived fron crossing corn wn-il keed previously etltiilitert ar apart, to avoid the uiisadvaItage 01 v. hat uay be compiared to in--alad-in bieauing, All the experilmnters are to ieoi L to each other.

DxcoaATING BEDICHAMBEnS. -- The newest mania among fabhilonlable wo men, married and unmarried, Is to make their bedrooms beautiful. The lately acquired taste for decoration is now takiag that turn, to the ng lect of drawing-rooms and parlors. Pillow shams and bedspreads are luxuriously and expensively gotten up of silk,satin, eibroidery and lace; dressing eases are furnished with elaborate taste and ingetious fancy work receptacles for toilet and other artleles. Botilts and box-!s of the iltiest workmanship and choicest material hold the cologno,per ful:ei'les, powders and other seents for her ladybhlj's toilet.

HUMOROUS. AMONG the passengers in a stage coach In the White Mobttains was a little gentleman of five summers. The coach being quite full, he sat In the lap of another passenger. While on the way something was said about pickpockets, and soon the conversation became general on that interesting subject. The gentleman who was then holding our young friend then remarked: "My fine little fellow, how easily I could pick your pockets?" "No you couldnt," replied he; "I have been looking out for you all the time." ONE of the paasengers In the street car was In a p-irticular hurry, but the oar came In as slow as the returns from Maine. Finally he called out to the driver: .'What's the matter with that mule? Isn't he well?" "The mule Isn't to blame. It's the Galveston street car company that's to blame." "How's that?" Why, you see, they pay us by the month, so we ain't In a hurry; but ift they were to pay us by the trip 1 could get 2:10 out of this mule." I JoHN T.

Nearly half a centuiry ago, when a coach ran daily between Glasgow and Greenock, by Palley, one forenoon, when a little p'tst J1ishopton, a lady in the coach noticed a boy walking bare footed, seemingly tiredt, and struggling with tender feet. She desired the coach manl to take him up and glyve him a seat, and she wottid pay for it. When they arrived at tho inn in Greenock, she Inquired of the boy what was his object in coming up there. lie said he wished to be a sullor, a'-d hoped some of the captains would engage him. She gave him a half crown, wish ed him success, and chiarged him to be have well. Twenty years aftor this, the coach was returning to Glasgow In the after noon, on the same road. When near Bishopton, a sea captain observed anl old widow lady on the road, walking very slowly, fatigued and weary. lie ordered the coniawnain to put her In the coach, as there Was an empty seat, and he would pay for her. Immediately after, when changing the horses at Bislopton, the passeiogers weie saun tering about, except the captain and the old lady, who remained in the coach. The lady thanked him 'for his kindly feeling toward her, ai she was now unaible to pay for a seat. le said: "He always had Sympathy for weary pedestrians, since he himselit was in that state when a boy, twenty years ago, near this very place. when a ten der-hearted lady ordered the coachman to take him up, ant paid for his seat." "Well do I remember that incident," said she. "I am thatvlady, but my lot in life Is changed. I was then Inde pendent. Now.j am reduced to pover. ty, by the doings of a prodigal son." "H1ow happy am I,"said the captain,.
