Short Chapter oh Seeds. True, a seed
is a seed ; but it is a good deal more . tbau a
seed. It is a history, and it is ready for a
nother history. A whole summer is wrapped
up in that pea. A whole summer spent its
time about that ear of com. It came forth
small as a needle., It stood tremulous and
yellow for weeks, it waxed apace in Jane, it
stood up the noblest of grasses in August,
with a many-fringed band of flowers on its lap,
and with a little baby ear on its breast, with
silken hair hanging down uncombed yet un
tangled, spotted and powdered with pollen.
This is the time to wander in corn ! 1 ou are
hidden at six steps. It is a pet forest. Peo
ple ride past and wagons roll within a few rods
of you, and yon are unseeing and unseen
The wind comes ia gentle pufls, and sets all
the pliant sword leaves a-qnake. Little birds
that do not know that you are there, fly in and
alight within hand reach, but at a glance, see
ing their mistake, fly as if the tassal was hot
and burned their feet ! We see. all that, in
those barrels of Tuscarora corn, in that white
flint corn, and in that yard-long ear of"ycllow
flint. H. If. Beecher.
Down with tue Weeds. Have you ever
considered how much ruin to future farm
crops lies in the patch of weeds yonder ?
They are sapping the land now, but this
nothing in comparison with their future his
tory. It is perhaps a group of thistles. Pull
off ono of those ripening heads, and count
if you ean, the number of seeds wrapped up
like arrows in a quiver. Every one of these
seeds is provided with a feathery tail, that will
expand and float seeds in the air, like a bal
loon. Tha seeds in that sinzle thistle head
will probably be scattered over twenty acres
before the snow falls. And every plant has
some curious provisions for scattering seeds
far and wide. Some are so light they float
in the air, others will jnst float in . water.
th winter rains carrv Ithem to a ereat di3
tance from their birthplace. The only safe
guard against the spread of weeds is the e
ternal vigilance of the farmer. Cut up the
weeds, by the roadside, under the walls, in
the gardens, on the manure heap, in the corn
field, everywhere. At no future time can
you abate this nuisance so easy as now.

with a Yankee who stole a march on him after
the following pattern. Enter Yankoe.
'I say ! are you Professor Anderson ?"
"Yes, sir, at your service."
"Wa'al you're a tarnation smart man, and

"Ah, indeed, and what tricks are you up to,

"Oh, that's a mere sleight-of-hand trick, I
can do that too."
"Xo you can't. I'd like to see you try."
"Well hold out your hand with a cent in it."
Yankee stretched out his paw with a cent
lying on it.
"This is your cent is it, sure ?"
"It'snothin' else."
"Hold on to it tight Presto ! change. Now
open your hand."
. Yankee opened his fist; and there was a
gold eagle shining on his palm.
"Wa'al you did it, I declare ; much obleeg

"Stay," S3id the Professor, "you" may leave

"Yourn ! warn't it my cent ; and did'nt you
turn it into this ere yaller thing, eh 7 Good

say, "I guess there ain't anything green about
this child."
KFAt a festival which recently came off in
Niagara county, a boy who did not have a fair

hear the first mouthful they swallowed striko
on the bottom of their boots !

Bronchial affections.Coughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Bron
chitis, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throa
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the recipe of a regular physician, who daring a
practice of twenty-five years, used it with unpar
alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simple in their character and used
by every educated physician. It is easily taken,
produces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immcdiute relief. In this ever
changing climate, where coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this crrtaix cure.
It would be easy to follow in the wake of the ven
ders of patent medicine, and multiply certificates
got up for tho occasion, of miraculous cures, but no
such adventitious aid is necessary in introducing
this preparation to the public Its real value, and
never foiling success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it, cannot but give it a wide circulation, and
recommend it to all those afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Price 371 Cents per Bottle
