The World Hanrett,
They are sowiiig their seed in fair,
They are sowing their seed in the noonday’s glare,
They are sowing their seed in the soft twilight,
They are sow ing their seed in the solemn night—
What sliaW the harvest be ?
They are sowing their seed of pleasant thought,
In the spring’s green light tlnjy have blithely
wrought, . .
They have brought their fancies from wood and
dell,
W here the mosses creep and the flower buds swell;
Hare shall the harvest be !
They are sow ing the seed of word and deed,
Which the cold know not, nor the careless heed ;
Os the gentle word and the kindest deed
That have blest the heart-in its sorest need ;
Sweet shall the harvest be !
And some are pain,
Os late ropjyrae aifd-iu ■AiH,e
And the stars shall fall and the stin shall wane,
Ere they root (lie weeds from their soil again ;
Hark will the harvest be!
And some are standing with idle hand,
et they scatter seed on tlieir native land ;
And some are sowing the seeds of care,
hicli their soil has borne and still must bear ;
Sad w ill the harvest be!
They are sowing the seed of noble deed,
With a sleepless watch .and an earnest heed ;
With a ceaseless hand o’er the earth they sow,
And the fields are whitening wherever they go;
Rich will the harvest be!
Sown in darkness, or sown in light,
Sown iu weakness, or sown in might,
Sown in meekness, or sown iu wrath,
In the broad work-tield, or the shadowy path,
Sure wiil the harvest be!

A Letter from i lioma. Mood.
The following letter from Hood to a young friend
at the sea-side, is a pleasant instance of the geniaJ
humor in which he could devote himself to the
amusement of a child, as well as to chasing away
the lines ot care from older brows. It is from his
recently published Memoirs:
My Dear May—How do you do, and how do
you like the sea? not much perhaps, it’s “so big.”
But shouldn't you like a nice little ocean, that you
could put in a pan? Vet the sea, although it looks
rather ugly at lirst, is very useful, and if I were
near it this dry summer, I would carry it all home
to water the garden with at Stratford, and it would
be sure to drown all the blights, May-flies and all!
I remember that when I saw the sea, it used some
times to be very fussy and fidgetty, and did not
always wash itself quite clean ; but it was very
fond of fun. Have the waves never run after you
yet, and turned your little shoes into pumps, full
ot water? Ifyouwanta joke you might push
Dunttie into the sea, and then fish for him as they
do for a Jack. But don’t go in yourself, and don’t
let the baby go in and swim away, although he is
the shrimp of the family.
Did you ever taste of the sea-water? The fishes
are so fond of it they keep drinking it all the day
long. Dip your little finger in, and then suck it
to see how it tastes. A glass of it warm, with su
gar, and a grate of nutmeg, would quite astonish
you 1 The water of the sea is so saline, I wonder
nobody catches salt fish in it. I should think a
good way would be to go out in a butter-boat,
with a little melted for sauce. Have you been
bathed yet in the sea, and were you afraid ? I
was the first time and the time before that ; and
dear me, how I kicked, ami screamed —or at least
meant to scream, but the sea, ships and all, begau
to run into my mouth, and so I shut it up. I think
I see you dipped in the sea, screwing your eyes
up, and putting your nose, like a button, into your
mouth, like a buttonhole, for fear of getting an
other smell and taste! By the bve, did you ever
dive your head under water with your legs up in
the air like a duck, and try whether you could cry
“ ljuack ?” Some animals can ! I would try, but
there is no sea here, and so I am forced to dip into
books.
I wish there were such nice green bills here as
there are at Sandgate. They must be very nice to
roll down, especially if there arc no furze bushes
to prickle one at the bottom! Do you remember
how the thorns stuck in us like a penn’orth of
mixed pins at Wanstead ? 1 have been very ill,
and am so thin now I could stick myself into a
prickle. My legs in particular are so wasted away
that somebody says my pins are only needles;
and I am so weak, I dare say you could push me
down on the floor, and right through the carpet,
unless it was a strong pattern. 1 am sure if I
were at Sandgate, you could carry me to the post
office and fetch my letters.
Talking of carrying, I suppose you have donkeys
at Sandgate, and ride about ou thgn. Mind aud
always call them “ donkeys,” for if you call them
asses, it might reach some long ears! I knew a
donkey once that kicked a man for calling him
Jack instead of John. There are no flowers, I
suppose on the beach, or I*yould ask you to bring
me a bouquet as you used akStratford. But, there
are little crabs ! If you would catch one for me,
and teach it to dance the polVa, it would make me
quite happy; for I have not lad any toys or play
things in a long time. Did yVi ever try, like a
little crab, to run two ways at ftpee ? See if you
can do it, for its good fun ; nerter mind tumbling
yourself a little at first. It would be a good plan
to hire a little crab, for an hour ft day, to teach
baby to crawl if he can’t walk, and, if I was his
mamma, 1 would too! Bless him. But I must
not write on.him any more—he is so soft, and I
have nothing but steei pens. And now good bye;
Fanny has made my tea, aud I must drink it before
it get 9 too hot, as we all were last Suudav week.
They say the glass was 88 in the shade, which is a
great age! The last fair breeze 1 blew -dozens of
kisses for you, but the wind changed, and 1 am
afraid took them all to Miss II , or somebody
that it shouldn’t. Ciiwe my love to everybody and
my compliments to all the rest; ami remember, 1
am, my dear May, your loving friend,
Thomas Koon.
Ip. g. Don’t forget my little crab to dance the
polka, and pray write to ue as soon as you can’t,
if it’s only a line. - ..
Importance of Salt In. Agriculture.
It we should ask why so enormous a quantity of
this inestimable gify of salt is distributed through
out the earth ; why three-fourth3 of the
the planet designed for the home of man is cover
ed with it; the answer would be, —in order to pre
serve the work of nature, to enable man the niore
readily to sustain himself, and to make hioi wealth
ier and better, it has become aif indispensable
condition for the existence of man, and his eivili
zafion. In all organic beings we meet with two
processes—that of life and that of decomposition
—the latter begining its full activity afier the for
mer has achiered its end, at the moment when or
gauic beings are dissolved into those constituents
from which the plant was formed and nourished.
If however we intend to check, or at least delay
decomposition, we must employ acids, for we know
that the Creator formed of the sea-salt a mighty
barrier against the immeasurable mass of water
becoming putrid ; we know that our stoeks of flesh,
grease, Ac., are preserved by the application of
salt; that cabbage-water, acids in geueaal, afid
kitubep-salt are the means employed by the agri
culturist against septic diseases in our domestic
animals, and against diseases of the mouth aud
feet. The separation of milk and deposit of meat
will be increased by the application of salt, thus
forming an essential means for the promotion of
cattle-raising, fly the application of salt, the fruits,
especially wine, will become much better; and
even the ancients were in the habit of throwing
salt on their grounds, their vineyards, and fruit
trees. Agricultural chemistry informs us that the
simplest combinations through which nourishment
is conveyed to plants consist in acids, alkalies
artd alkaline substances. Animal chemistry shows
that free muriatic acid and kitchen-salt form the
principal constituents of the contents of the stom
ach.
In a French prize paper, by Dr. Desaive, on the
manifold advantages of the use of salt in agricul
ture, the following results have been laid down by
the celebrated French veterinary surgeon, Grog
niez:
Common salt serves as a preventive of the fer
mentation and heating of hay, which has been
heaped up in large stacks during wet weather.—
Forty quintals of hay require fifteen pounds salt,
to be strewn among it in alternate layers.
This effect is much better shown in straw, which,
if intended to be used as fodder, by being mois
tened with salt water, may be preserved for a long
time, when it can be given to cattle instead of hay,
a method in use among the ancients.
Leaves of trees, when put in ditches with salt,
may be prevented for a long time from putrefac
tive fermentation, and will even makegood forage.
Intelligent farmers of Mount d’Orlyonais are iu
the habit of thus preserving tlieir vine leaves as
fodder for goats.
Fodder of inferior quality, for instance, straw,
or other kinds, soaked and bleached by rain and
sun, cured too late or become woody, may be ren
dered more palatable and easy of digestion by be
ing salted. A pound of salt in three quarts of
water is required for a quintal of bad hay.
The sharp taste which the milk of cows usually
assumes in consequence of beets, turnips, and
white cabbage being continually fed to them, can
be removed by salting those vegetables.
In Flanders, common salt is strewn on new and
wet oats, to be fed to horses, and, thus prepared,
win not be dangerous to the animals. The same
application may also be made to hay newly har
vested, to prevent injuries when it may become
necessary to feed such bay, the moisture of which
has not been fnllv evaporated.
Though the h*<l yet, oy giving
a sprinkling of salt water, they will be diminished
to a considerable degree. This fact will be of ad
vantage to the farmer whenever he may be in want
of appropiate fodder.
Bv means of salt, such water as otherwise could
not be used for cattle for drinking, will be render
ed proper.
The great advantages to be derived from com
mon salt with regard to the health of cattle, have
bpen clearly shown by many experiments made
by that learned and celebrated agriculturist of Al
sace, M. Bousshigault. Cattle, by being fed with
salt receive a soft aud glossy skiD, their digestion
and appetite are in good order, and they increase
in flesh and strength. Cows thus fed yield much
milk, while those treated otherwise have dull skins,
with rough hairs, exhibit less appetite, produce a
smaller amount of flesh, and yield not only infe
rior quantity, but also quality, of milk.
Manure from cattle fed with salted fodder is al
so of a better quality.
Finally, manuring with salt will banish mosses
and hurtful parasitical plants from meadows.

Agricnlturc in Bibb Comity.
From the position of our county geographical
ly, its present and prospective importance, it
would seem the time had arrived when our citizens
should arouse themselves to the necessity of pro
moting our agriculture. Other counties, in this
and other States having far less importance, have
their Agricultural, Horticultural and Pomological
Societies, and are using every laudible means for
the promotion of their objects. There is no rea
son why we may not have a flourishing Agricultu
ral Association, from which great benefit may aud
will result. Practical Agriculture in our county
is not confined to men of ignorance, a9 some ig
norantly suppose. Some of our ablest men, men
tally, are farmers; ’tis true, they make not that
display that other occupations might require;
they study the operations of nature’s laws, as ap
plied to their special calling. The pteparalions of
of soils—the application of manures, special and
general, and the cultivation of the various crops
—the habits &e., of fruits and plants, all call for
continued thought and research.
While on the one hand, many farmers are op
posed to every thing like innovation, and prefer
to tread the beaten track of centuries, and cannot
be changed. On the other, there are those who
arc willing to receive instructions from any aud
every source, to avail themselves of all the discov
eries of science, and to lessen labor by the use of
labor saving machines. The latter outstrip the
former in achieving a high position in their calling,
and reap the benefits of their efforts and success.
Nothing has caused Hancock County to take
the high position she has, and the lead in the
whole South iu the cause of Agriculture, but the
interestt aroused among her citizens by her Agri
cultural Society. For seventeen years, and I know
not how much longer, they have had an Agricul
tural Society in that county, and as a consequence,
behold what has been achieved! Lands a few
years sinee considered valueless, are now valuable
and productive, —lands cleared for many years
are now producing better crops without manure,
than the same lauds produced twenty years ago.
Why may not like results be accomplished in
Bibb V A portion of her lands are as productive
as those of Hancock, she has men ot energy, en
terprize and perseverance, and one of titem, at
last, has secured a larger average yield, per acre,
of wheat, than I have heard of elsewere, in this
latitude. The formation of an Agricultural Socie
ty might bring to light facts showing like, or even
greater results. „ . , .
Iu the Southern Cultivator for April, one ot the
editors gives a gratifying account ot meeting
with the Agricultural Society of our neighboring
county, Monroe. In consequence of the increased
interest in agriculture there, lands have appreci
ated from 30 to 40 per cent, and last year, there
was shipped from that county, besides that which
was necessary for home consumption, 30,U00 bush
els of wheat. ... ..
Let us act early and earnestly m the matter, it
is high time, and’our county may make develope
meuts not now dreamed of.
A Bibb Cocnty Farmer.
Redpatb, the English black-republican who
has gone to the congenial society of the sooty
Havtiens, writes from their Island to the 1 ribunt
the following interesting paragraph :
“A splendid oil-painting of John Brown,
which, in behalf of Mr. Hyatt, I have presented
to the Frcsiuent of Uayti, now hangs in the palace
side by side with a life size portrait of the Abbe
Gregoire, iu the Hall of Audience. In the palaoe
there are also four bust B—of 8 —of Gregoire, .Boyer,
Potion, and John Brown. The bust of the Ameri
can philanthropist is erowned with a laurel wreath.
“ If we produce one or two more such heroes
as John Brown, the Haytien proverb, ‘ Blanc e'est
diable —‘ white! it is the devil’—will fall into
disrepute. Speed the day when it shall be for
gotten.” * *

A Wide Awake Wife.
[Scene—ln bed, face to the wall—Stron” smell

A pretty time indeed for yoirto come home,
ur! Where have you been all night? You smell
is if you had beeu in search of Bynames’ Hole
through a lar barrel. Talk of sulphuretted hy-
Irogen, or superannuated eggs ! They ain’t any
•vhere. Say, where have you beeu ? Here I’ve
>een lying awake lor the last five hours, wailing
h or you to come. Now I want to know where
von have been all this time ? Wish I wouldn't
.'other you tel!\-me in the morning? I want to
know now ; its near enough morning to know
where ones husband has been all night, and jtar
lieularl v if he comes home perfumed clear through
is you are. You mustn’t good wife me. That
won t answer. Suppose you were a woman, anil
yo.ur husband should go off every night in the
week, ami come home as you do, and—C wish
you’d get up and let some fresh air into the room,
or I shall certainly suffocate—what would you sav?
Don’t you imagine there would ho a row in the
family? Been ;J.th the Wide Awakes? I should
think as much. You’re a wide awake fool, that’*
what you are. I’ve always thought vou had about
sense enough to parade the streets w’ith those nig
ger lovers. Why dull marry yous That’s a
pretty question. Didn’t you swear that you’d
shoot yonrself if I didn’t take pitv on vou? I’m
sorry I didn’t allow you to shoot, or hang, or
drown yourself. It would have been the best
thing I ever did in my life. What is it smells so ?
Kothiug ? Don’t tell me nothing ;it never smelled
so in the world. Had to carry a torch ? That’s
sweet business for a man who pretends to be the
father of a large family. Next thing I shall ex
pect to hear of you is, that you’ve been splitting
rails for general circulation. I know n diking
ahout politics ? Don’t eh ? I don’t want to know
nothing about poetics, if X have to neglect my
family and carry stinking torches for the benefit
of a lazy man in Illinois who is trying to be Presi
dent.
Want to sleep? I thought you were a Wide-
Awake. I suppose you have kept awake to night
on whiskey, havn’t you ? Where have you been
all this time ; the town clock Las just struck three.
Been to Tonaivanda to raise a liln'rtq pole ! That’s
a sweet note. Why didn’t the Wide Awakes ot*
Tonawanila raise their own pole ? I ’xpeot repub
licans are scarce in that section, and you’ve been
trying to make a great splurge. Weil, you can’t
fool anybody.. I believe I know something about
politics myself, and I know that you are drunk.
That’s what you are. Must go to sleep , must you?
Why didn’t you think of that before? I’ve had
no sleep to-night, and you never once thought of
me. You’re an old brute, and just such a man as
ought to vote for an old rail-splitter. Vote for
Breckinridge if I let you alone ? Mr. Breckin
ridge don’t want such votes. lie will be elected
without your vote. But now that you show signs
of returning reason, I’ll let you go to sleep.
Practical Joking.
A great many years ago, before the introduction
of steam navigation into the waters of Long Island
►Sound, Captain Thayer, whose name will be re
membered by many of our readers as one of the
pioneer captaius in steamboat travel, commanded
a sloop in thejwaters of saunton river. One morn
ing being at the lauding in Berkley, and having
occasion to cross 10 the other side, he eutered a
barn or shed where the boat’s oars were kept with
which he was to cross.
A..^uo*it-iiis C ol uitiabitanls of that benighted
town, he accordingly picked up the warm egg, and
wrote on its susceptible shell with his pencil, “Woo
to the town of Berkly,” and replacing the egg left,
the barn.
In due time the nest was cleared of its eggs, and
the one bearing the inscription discovered. The
wonderful news was at once “telegraphed” from
house to house through the town, and before night
hundreds had journeyed to the spot to see it for
themselves. Consternation was depicted on every
countenance in view of the impending calamity
which they were certain the phenomenon denoted.
It finally occurred to them to ask counsel of their
pastor in this their hour of terror. Parson A. was
accordingly sent for, and arriving the cause of
alarm was made known to him, backed up by an
exhibition of the egg.
The parson examined it attentively, after which
he laid it down, and for many minutes seemed lost
in reflection, llis parishoners thought they saw
in this fresh cause for alarm, and one and an other
would ejaculate, in hoarse whispers, “ The Lord
wrote it! the Lord wrote it!” At length the old
man rose as if to address them, and, stretching to
his full height, exclaimed, “If the Lord wrote
that, he didn’t know how to spell Berkley 1” and,
bidding them good day, he walked off. Their eyes
were opened, and they saw in it at once the trick
of some mischievous wag, but it was not till some
time afterwards that they found out the author, to
whom they ever afterwards owed a grudge.—New

Not Ashamed of Bum! lea.
We have often heard a half grown boy say
pettishly to his mother, 1 don’t like to be seen
carrying a big bundle in the streets.” But true
pride is ashamed of anch litt’eness of mind. Mr.
Astor, the wealthy millionaire of New York, once
was reluctant to sell some goods to a young
merchant, except for cash. The merchant paid
for them, and then took them on his own shoulder
to carry to his store. Mr. Astor looked on in sur
prise, but before the merchant had gone many
steps, he called him back, saying—“ You may
buy on credit to any amount. I can trust you,
sir. A man who is not ashamed to do bis own
work is sure to succeed.” Here is another good
lesson for false pride:
Chief Justice Marshal was a great man : but
great men are never proud. He was not too proud
to wait upon himself. He was in the habit of
going to market himself carrying home his pur
chases. Often would lie be seen going home at
sunrise, with poultry in one band and vegetables
in the other.
On one of these occasions, a fashionable young
man from the North who had removed to Rich
