This corn Was produced from' some procured direct from Mr. Jones, our Con. Ruler Agtnt, directly on bin return from .Egypt. It needs no different culture from that of other varieties, and in the South two crops can be raised on the same ground iu ono year.

When ground and properly bolted, It is equal in color and fineness to wheaten dour.

RNAHE` " Miss Becky Newton." : " "Well, sir." " Will yea marry me?" "No, I won't." " Very well; then don't, that's all • - Mr. Fred Tekerson drew away his chain". and puttingt his feet up on the piazza, utir, folded a newspaper. Miss Becky -Newteri" bit her lips and went on with heir sewing.;-; She wondered if that was going to ,be- -- 414; last of it. She had felt this proposal cam ing for nearly a month, but the 'scene -84, had anticipated was not at all like' this. , -+ She had intended to refusp him, but' it--WO to be done gracefully. She Ni'as to remain: firm notwithstanding his most eager eri, .treetiea: she xvas to have told, JaimAiat-tam' respecting' ills ^madly= character, she could never be to him more than an appreciative and - earnest friend. She had intended to shed a few tears, perhaps, as be knelt writhing in an agony of suppli cation at her feet. But instead, he had ask ed her the simple question without any rhetorical embellishments, and on being an swered had plunged at once into his news paper as though he had merely inquired the time of day. She could have cried with vexation. " You pever will have a better chance," he contirfued after a pause; as he deliberate ly turned over the sheet to find the latest telegraph reports. • " A. better chance for what?" she asked shortly. " A better chance to marry a young, good looking man, whose gallantry to the sex is only exceeded by his bravery in their de fense." - - Fred waS quoting from his newspaper but Miss Newton did not know it. "And whose egotism is only exceeded. by his impudence," retorted the lady, sarcasti cally. " Before long," continued Fred, " be out of the market. Your chances are getting slimmer every day. " It won't be a great while before you are ineligible. You will grow old and wrinkled, and—" " Stich rudeness to a lady, sir, is 'mon strous," exclaimed Miss Newton, rising has tily, and flushing to the temples. "I'll give you a final opportunity, Miss Newton. Will you mar—" "Not if you were the King of England," interrupted Miss Newton, throwing down bar work. "I am not accustomed to such insults, sir." And so saying, she passed into•the house and slammed the door Behind her. I " She is never so handsome as when she is in a rage," thought. Filed to himself after she had gone, as he slowly folded up his pa per and replaced it in his pocket. •• 'was a fool to goad her so; I shall never win her in that way. But I'll have her," he ex claimed aloud. "By heaven, I'll have her, cost whatit may!" Very different was the Fred &kersOn of the present, pacing nervously up and down the piazza, front the Fred Eckerson of a few moments ago receivtng his dismissal front the woman be loved with such cairn and imperturbable exterior, for he loved Becky Newton With all his heart. The real difficulty in the way, as he more than half suspected, was not so much with himself its in his pocket. Becky Newton had an insu perable objection to attempty wallet. The (laughter of a wealthy Louisiana planter, reared in luxury, and the recipient of a weekly allowance of pin money sufficient to pay Fred's whole bills for a month, she had no immediate idea of changing her situa tion for one of less comfort and independ ence. Besides, it had been intimated to lter that a neighboring planter of unusually dristocratie lineage had looked upon her with covetous eyes. To be sure he was old andligly, but he was rich, and in her pres ent mercenary state of mind Miss Becky Newton did not desire to allow such a chatted' of becoming a wealthy widow to slip by unimproved. Bu l ulus for human nature! if Becky was really so indifferent to Fred Eckerson, why did she run up stairs after that interview, and take the starch out of her nice, clean pillow-shams 'by crying herself into hyster ics on the bed? •It was not all wrath, not all vexation, not all pique. There was somewhere deep down in Becky Newton's heart a feeling very much akin to remorse. She was not sure that she would not one day be sorry for what she bad done. She bad no doubt she could be very happy as Fred Eckerson's wife, after all. " But then," she cried, growing hot with the recollection, "he was so rude and so insulting! I could never live with such 5 man—never 1" When Fred Eckerson had .walked off some of his feelings on the piazza ho con chided to take a _look at the river. The Mississippi, which flowed within five hun dred yards of the house, was at that time nearly at its annual " spring rise." Its tur hid waters, rushing swiftly toward the sea, had nearly filled the banks, and in many places had broken through the levees and flooded the low lands for many miles. A. crevasse of this description had been made in the farther bank, nearly opposite the house, and the windows of the Newton mansion commanded the view of a vast and glittering inland sea not laid down on ,the maps.

She dried her tears, and &fling on her hilt, slipped out by a brick per to avoid Fred, and soon found herself at the foot of a huge cottonwood tree on the hank below the house. Throwing her ilelf upon the grass, and lulled by the bab bling of .the rapid flood beneath her, she scion fhll fast asleep. Had she pOssessed any power of foreseeing the future, it wo'd have beep the last thing she would do; for Although it was very, pleasant dropping i.Slecp , there in the shade, with the soft sun ight filtering through the, leaves overhead,. 'the awakening was not at all to her mind.— ,ty terrible crash made chaos of her dreams; WI ground slipped from bengath her; the 'tall cottonwood toppled and fell, and Miss Aecky DUwton found herself suddenly im mersed "in, the cold flood, with her mouth ,full of Muddy water. In a moment more, 49thetiody's arm was about her, and she felt *herself lifted up and placed somewhere in :the ,sunshine, though precisely where she was as yet too bewildered to know. Get- Aug her eyes open at last, she found Fred okerson's whiskers nearly brushing her Weill" Well!" "Where am 1?" asked Becky, shivering and looking around her. " Youlare in the middle of the Mississip• Pi," repli ( r Fred, " and you are in the fork .of cottonwood nwood tree, and are voyaging to . ward the gulf of Mexico just as fast as this freshet can carry you." • . Howl came you here?" "In the same conveyance with yourself, Miss - Becky. In fact, you and I and the tree all came together, to say nothing of n 'portion of your father's plantation, which I fear is lost to him' forever." • '--Beelty'was silent. She was , thinking not of the accident, nor of their perilous posi tion, but-of her appearance when she was lying 'asleep on the grass. How long were you there before this happened?" she asked. As long as you were. I was up in the tree when you came." ''' "You had no r?glit to be up there," she ;said; coloring- 4 a spy upon my move eats." '-' s 'Nonsense!" he replied; "you intruded .on my privacy, but while you slept I watch ed over you Idle the sweet little cherub that sits up IV" • "Than you for the service, I'm sure," she said, ridling. "You snored awfully." L. , Mr. Eckerson, remove your arm from my' Then put your arms around my neck." '"lndeed, I shall do no such thing:" -- "'You will fall into the river if you do not." Becky was silent for several moments, while their unwieldy raft whirled along in the current, rolling from side to side, and threatening every instant to turn completely over and tip them oir. At last she said: "What are we to do?' "I think, now that I ant started, I shall go on to Now Orleans," he replied. "To New Orleans!" exeliihned Beeky.— ," It is a hundred miles!" - " Yes, but the chance for 11 free passage for such a distance is not to be neglected.— You can go ashore if you prefer." - She burst' into tears. "Yon are cruel,;' she said, " to trest me -so." "Cruel!' exclaimed Fred, drawing her closer to l 'him quickly;." cruel to you!" There was no help for •it, and she- again relapsed into silence, quite contented, appa -rently, to remain in Fred's arms, and evinc ing now no disposition to rebel. " For once waa-dependent "I Want to go to Istew - Orleans, - contin ued Fred after a pause, " because there is a young lady of my acquaintance residing there whbm I have some intention of invit ing into this neighborhood." ,4 or , "If we don't go to New Orleans, and if we get safe out of this scrape, I,shall write for her to come, any way." "Ah!" "I shall obtain board for her in M. Jean, which will be convenient for me so long as I remain your father's guest. I can ride over every morning after breakfast, __you see." " She is an intimate -friend, then,'i said Miss Becky. "I expect to marry her liefore long," he replied. " Marry her! Why, yottlyou proposed to me this morning." " Yes, but you refused me. I told you then that you' would never have another chance." Becky was silent again. It is a matter of sonic doubt whether, had;Fred at that mo ment, sitting astride Unit cottonwood log with his feet in the water and his arm around Becky's waist; proposed to her again, she would have accepted 'him or not. To be sure a marvelous change had come over Becky's feelings since her tumble in the river. She felt just then that one strong taint like that which. then supported her was worth a thousand old and decrepit planters; she recognized the fact that a man who could talk so coolly and unconcernedly in a situation of such extreme peril, was one of no ordinary courage. But she was not yet quite prepared to gtve up her golden dreams. The dross was not quite washed out of her sGul, and she did not yet know how much she loved Fred - Eclterson Besides, she did not half believe Their'clomsy vessel floated on, now root first, iidw sideways, and now half submerg ed beneath the boiling current. Their pm carious hold became more uncertain as their fianies became chilled by - the cold water, and every plunge of - the log threat ened to east them once more into the river. In vain Fred endeavored to attract the at tention of some one on shore. The cotton wood retained a course nearly in the mid dle of the stieam, too far from either bank to render their outcries of much avail. As it grew dark their situation seemed more iind-more hopeless, and to Becky there ap peared to be no escape from certain death, either bY drowning in the darkness or by exhaustion before daylight. - Yet to die in this man's arms seemed not wholly a terror. She could hardly think, if death must -come, of any other why in which she' would rather meet it. Was it possible she loved him, and must needs be brought within the valley of the shadow before she could know her heart? had she loved him all along? While she was think ing about it, chilled by the exposure and the night air; she fell asleep. When she awoke the stars were out, but she was warm and comfortable. Raising her head, she found herself enveloped in Fred's coat. " Fred." "Well." " You have robbed 3 ourself to ke p me warm. You are freezing." " No; I ain't. I wet it off beea Ise it was So awful hot;" and taking out his land kerchief witlt his disengaged hand, he made a pretense of wiping the perspiration froM his brow_ " How long have 1 been. asleep`:" " Abobrt three hours. We are drifting i shore now." " Shull we be saved" " .1 don't know. Put your arms around my :neck, for I am going to take mine away." Reeky did 'this time as she was bid. She not only threw her anus quickly around his melt, but she laid her head upon his _breast without the least hesitation. In the dark new Fred did not know that she imprinted a kiss upon his shirt bosom. "II ld fast now!" lie cried. "Hold on for yoir dear life!" The'log had ,been gradually noaring the shore for sonic time, and it• now shot sud denly under a .sycamore which overhung the bank and trailed its branches in the brown flood. Quick as thought Fred seized the limb above his head and, pulled with all his might. " The headlong course of the cot tonwood was checked; it plunged heavily, and partly turned over; its top became en tangled in the .sycamore, and a terrible cracking of limbs ensued.. • With a sudden spring Fred gained 'the projecting• branch, dragging his clinging burden after him. In another instant the cottonwood had, broken away and continued its Tom.° down the • river,' while th bent sycamore' regained its shape with sii" h a' rebound that the two' travelers were !very nearly precipitated into Om stream again. ' Fred, half supporting, halt dragging Beaky, worked his way to the trunk by a series of gymnastics that would have done no discredit to Blondin, and in a - mcnient more' bad reached the ground in safety. + • "That's a business we are well out - of," he said when hethad regained his breath.— "Now where are we?' He looked about. ,-A light 'was glimmer ing from a habitation behind them, a short distance from where they stood. Becky could not walk without great pain, and: Fred lifted her lightly in his arms and start ed for the house. It proved to be the dwell- ing of a. small planter who was net lacking ; in hospitality. 'Here their wants were soon attended to, and under the cheering influ ence of warmth and shelter Becky was soon herself again. ' They drove home on the' l following day, Fred having procured the loan of a horse and chaise from the planter for that pur pose, promising, to return them by Mr.' Newton's servant the day after. The morning was bright and clear, and the fragrance of 'the orange groves was in ail the air. Becky, who had maintained almost utter silence since their escape from, the cottonwood, was no less silent now.-: Fred himself did not appear particularly communicative, and many miles of the long ride were taken without a remark from ei ther. It was Becky who spoke first. "Fred," she said. t{ y es: , " You have saved my life, haVe you not?" " Happy to do it any day," he remarked, not knowing exactly what else to say. " I thank you very much." "Quite welcome, I'm sure." There was another long silence, broken only by the sound of the horse's hoof upon the road. fired himself seeThed to have lost some o 1 his habitual ease, for he kept his whip in constant motion, and held the reins nervously. "Fred!" - • Yes!" , "Are you going to write to that young lady - in New Orleans?" " I s'pose so." " Hadn't you—better—try again—before you—before you write?" He turned his eyes full upon her, and opened them wide. "Try again! Try what?" " I's'e been thinking through the night," said Becky, bending low to hide her face, and carefully, separating the fringe of her " that—perhaps—if you asked me again the same question—that you—did— yesterday morning—l might answer a little —different." Becky's head went against Fred's shoul der, and her face became immediately lost to view. "You darling!" he exclaimed. "But when, may I ask, did you change your mind?" " I have never changed it," she murmur ed. ." 1 have loved you all the time ; but I 'ever knew it until last night." And to this day, when Mrs. Becky Eck; erson is asked where it was she fell in love with her husband, she answers, "On a log." How Rain-Palls, are Produced. It is now ag,ieed by the best observers that our rain-falls are produced by the clouds in the upper strata of the ;Amos-. phere, and most probably the electric con ditions upon which the fall of rain depends are to be found only there. The moisture which the atmosphere gathers by evapora tion is condenspd and deposited as rain only as it is subjected to the agency of electric forces. This we may accept as a demon strated truth. That the moisture carried off front any spot by evaporatiowenters into the grand atmospheric circulation, is also a fact which any one can demonstrate to him-• self by obsgrvation. In every dry time in summer we see the earth growing day by day dryer as the hot, sun evaporates the nukla-nre_from the "round, and yet the clouds may gather in The early evening only to disappear before the next day, , when the, same course is repeated. Every one' who has ever noticed the weather must have' seen times when it seemed as though it was , trying hard to rain and could not. Frora' this has'rcome the common proverb " All signs fail in a dry time." Considerations of this kind, which have been arrived at only by observation!'havc -forced meteorologists to abandon local caus es for the explanation of rain; and Stein metz, with others, fully recognizes that the showers of England originate in continental Europe. The true theory of our climate, of the 'early supply of moisture by rain, is proba- lowe..w, that put forth recently by- Mr. Thomas 13. Butler, of Hartford, Cpn necticut, in a work entitled "A Concise Analytical and Logical Development Of the 'Atmospheric System." As this work . was "printed f;pr the author," an outline of its theory will' not be amiss. Stated generally, his theory is that the normal condition of the weather is clear, and that the changes in it are produced by currents which origi nate in the tropics, and, following regular laws, A pirculate in the upper atmosphere about The earth, producing, or rather induc ing, in special localities, as they influence or are influenced by special local causes; the phenomena of the weather. ' The origi nal force of these currents he finds in the electric or magnetic forces induced by the sun. That there is some connection bet •een the spots on the sun and the activity-o the terrestrial magnetic currents has been for some time the opinion of philosophers.— In the ProccedingsSof the Manchester Lite rary and Philosophical Society for March 8, 1864, is an article by Mr. 13axendell, R. A. S., upon " Periodic Changes in the Magnetic Condition of the Earth and in the .Distribution of Temperature on its Surface," in which he says: "It has long been sus pected that the same causes which produce the spots on the sun's disk must in some way have an important influence on the pheL notnena of our own atmosphere. The facts now given convert this ,suspicion into a cer tainty, and it is not perhaps too much to say that - meteorology can never take rank as a true science while our hnowledge of the sun remains in its present imperfect state." Other observers have come to the same conclusion. Steinmetz quotes from Mr. Fulibrook, the well-known writer on rain-fall and meteor ology, as follows: "From extensive obser vations he believes lie has established the fact that whenever two planets form a right line with the earth; some disturbance con nected with their light, electricity t or mag netic reaction, takes place in the atmosphere, and a much larger quantity of rain—espe cially about the fourth or fifth dity after— is the result; and the greater timber of the more violent and extensive-storms and -hur ricanes have occurred at or about .the time of this excess of rain. This fact Mr. Full brook assures us," says Steininetz, " he has verified by the investigation of three hun dred consecutive conjunctions of planets in lorigitude, between the years 1807 and 18.30 inclusive." Unquestionably the fiaces in action upon this world are in connection with, and lin fluenced by, those updating in the universe. The attraction of ;cavitation, which makes the rain fall, is the stune force which, in a wider sphere, keeps the planets in their or bits; and a drop of de J w assumes its spheri cal form by the action of the same force which rounded the earth and the sun him self. The circulation of the atmosphere, like that of the tides, is caused primarily by the the action of cosmical forces,. and the cur rents in the atmosphere, like thotT in the oceans, result front the action of universal causes.-It. Huniand in lin lyn r. The . Planets and Their Inhabitants M. Figuie, a noted French scientific gen tleman, says that modern astronomy has demonstrated that there are other...worlds than ours; that the earth simply, makes a part of a class or a group of stars which do not differ essentially, and that there is an infinity of other globes like it, andOoceeds to consider the Internal affairs of the Worlds. Since there is nothing to distinguish the earth from the other planets of Or solar system—Mermtry, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, — and Neptune—he 'argues that we must field in the others, as we find here, air and writer, a hard soil, rivers and seas, mountains and valleys. There must be found aisoin them vegetation and trees, and verdure andi elm* Time mutt be. in, them animals,,and even men, or at least be• ings superior to animals, and corresponding to our human type.

Is it possible - to test by experiment and calculation, as chemical properties, or' planetary atmokiheres, or geological periods are tested, the efficacy of those appeals for mercy or favor which religion enjoins?— Professor Tyndall, revolving in his mind the 'triumph. which - science has already won, busy arong his glaciers and spec trums and Illa nwalia and t vertebne, does not see why prayer.should not be -'submitted to this unerring and be judged . by the same logical'inductions which establish oth er truths. I,le hal shocked the religious world by a bold proposition to make such a test, anti suggests that prayer, with a view to its practical results, should he tried for a 'definite perfoit ino hospital. Let a certain number of prayers, says the learned- pro fessor, as if he was 'submitting a glacial theory or calculating the antiquity of a ge ological &tratu,m, be directed to certain ob jects for a certain time; let such and such a thing be regularly and earnestly petitioned I for; let the liv s of the patients. be asked without favor, ntl,i at the end of the expe rimental perioc , lams compare the relative number of live" sparred with that of the pre vious experien le of the hospital, or with the cotemporar • experience of some other hospital. If nit or most of the lives thus scientifically prayed for are saved, then the induction that prayer is scientifically 'effica cious may be fairly made, and the Professor will how to the dictates of spiritual philoso phy. Meanwhile another scientific pundit, by a converse indilibil - , - has been busying himself with proofs that, according to his-. Wry, prayer is:Tint effective, and cannot be come a true science. lie shows that there is no class in the world, Su constantly and so zealothly played for o their Majesties the Crowned heads of Eulope; yet that the royhl people, on the average, enjoy.a shorter duration of life than less exalted people.— The praying men par ext7ellence, the clergy', are not, as long lived, suggests Mr. Galion, as those engaged in other profe-sion.•,;— whence he concludes that to pray:for speci fic material good is to• engage in a rather worse than bootless task.
