WHEAT III WING, ECT.
There is, in my opinion, an error
generally entertained in relation to
wheat cultuiv, and the sowing of wheat
in a tlat, level, prairie country. By
some it is supposed that such land can
not be profitably employed in wheat
culture, and it it be employed at all
that it must be thrown up into beds or
highlands by ploughing, to prevent the
water from standing on die wheat in
winter or spiing. Strict observation
of die different mcdiods of sowing, re
sults in the selection of the following,
lands subject to heaving or throwin out
roots during the alternate frosts and
thaws of winter, or drowning during,
the wet season. Prepare the ground

possible. Late in August, or early in

These should In* cleared with the hoe,
after which they will settle and remain
clear and will answer every purpose for

upon the long-practiced plan of throw

seen fields where one-half the next to
t a* ditches had become so clayey by
continual turning in the same direction,
that nothing hut weedsnnd chess would
grow, %!iile on the ridges, wheat would
lodge, so that the whole was almost
entirely woithlos. If the ground should

such teeth, amt then lips—egad, it al
most makes me crazy to think of them.
I put myself down for theluckliestdog
in the world. She was dressed in a
plain staaw cottage bonnet with a
green veil—-just such a costume, said
1, ns a real lady wears when travel-
i ling—nod then she gave me such a
sweet, but half roguish smile, as I
tumbled into the coach in the plight I
have described, that I knew hernt once
to be a paragon, in the way of educa
tion, taste, fortune, and all that; and
I resolved—what knowing one wouldut
; —to make the agreeable off-hand, for
there’s nothing like meeting an heiress
turning home from a court at night to
meet n beef-steak ready broiled, or a
bowl of the richest turtle soup, served
up by the fair hand of the angel at my
side. I resolved, if there was virtue in
a pair of whiskers, in an eloquent
tongue, or in my new blue coat, to win
this seraph of pie-bakers.
There is no place like a stage-coach

charmed to think of the progress I had

wife she would make! How 1 thank
ed my stars that I had hitherto set my
face like a flint against every tempta
tion to marry—for now firmness was
to las rewarded by this beauty and
heiress dropping into my mouth. And
then I preached to myself a mental
homily on the short-sightedness of
man, as I vetured to steal another kiss
from the conscious and blushing little
angel at my side. I was just about to
pop the question itself, when the coach

In an address delivered some time
since, to the Cadets of the Citadel
Academy at Charleston, Governor
.Means said : “ That one of the great
est misfortunes that could Irefall a
young man, was to lie born tin- heir of
wealth; lor, as man was naturally
an indolent being, averse to that se
vere and uurelaxed exeition which
alone can ensure success and obtain
emiuence, the sharp spur of necessity
was absolutely necetaary to compel
him up the rugged road that leads to
fame.” The truth of this remark,
though, mayhap, not appreciable by
the indolent and the thoughtless, is ac
knowledged by all who properly weigh
and correctly astanate cause and ef
fect, and their maiiifestations. That
man, no matter what the propelling
power is, who attains high station, or
who outstiips his fellows in any praise
worthy pursuit, deserves, and he ever
obtains, great credit. But, whilst a
due award is almost iuvariablv accord
ed him, who, impelled by daily neces
sity to daily toil, reaches a lolly posi
tion, seldom is a proper meed of praise
bestowed u|»ou those, who, rising su
perior to tiie weaknesses of their na
ture, casting aside the blandishments
and enervating influences of luxury,
aud divested of any positive motive lor

when I awoke, In-re it was raining

deluge was at hand. Confound the
breakfast bell! I do wish there was
no such thing ns a breakfast on a rainy
morning, for then one might lay shed
all day, nr until the storm cleared oft'.
PhHnsnphers tell us that rain is neces

If for the plow, the purcheser should
turn his eye to the peculiarties of the
laud to be worked. Stiff cl#y lauds
offer great resistance to plow and re
quire great strength in the animal used
for plowing. The mule for service in
these should be selected for his power
of endurance and strength. These
qualities are generally found in the
male that most resembles in form aud
appearance the Jack. The guiding

we had been acquainted since the days

for she too had been there, of the
scenery of the rain, and of whatever

Boys of the present age ; we con

immeasurably above your degeuarate
forefathers. Filling infants a> fhev
were engaged in the despicable and un
manly games of cricki t and marbles,
you uitii far siihlimer ideas, look with
disdain upon them, and stalking about
with hat, enno and segnr, ape the man

maturity. How rommendable! Boy-
dom lias passed away in the city—and
forever. Never again shall we hear
the merry laugh the shrill whistle, ns
engaged in some exciting sport, the
boy gave vent to his joy. Not in boa
ting not in squirrel hunting does bov-
bood takes delight but an affected sim
per, and with tightly strapped panta
loons and kids ready to crack at the
least muscular exertion,yon behold him

draughts o* villainous fire water.
It is an unanswerable fact that
youths at the age of fi teen from the
misrule——or no rule—ot parents or
some other cause, labor under the the
singular delusion, that in experience,
ability, and general attainments thev
fur excel their fathers. As lor their
grand lathers—they were a sef of igno
ramuses! So strongly is this idea im
pressed upon their minds, that no op-
portmiity is allowed (o escape without
its being manifested. They give their
opinions I Mildly upon every occasion
aud denominate the inan whose judge
ment unfortunately happens to eonflict
uitli their own, as a fool. Their toilet
is excessively elaborate, but in bad
taste, and a swaggering air invariably
assumed, which is easily subdued by
any aUasion to it. The city Boy-Mail
