Godman: I beg leave to say to each one of your readers, my friend it you be an Agricultural reader, and should perchance, find similar views advanced in other papers, please don't suspect me of stealing others’ views, of putting them forth as my own, for literary robbing is as bad as any other. I wish to be understood as to all my writings. Ido not write for fame or money. I do not write to be known. Ido not pretend to be original and if I use the ideas, or the language of others, 1 use what I regard as public prop erty, and do not appropriate it to myself, only using it, that the same property may be more publicly advantageous. If you find anything in any of my writings that belong to Skinner, Buel, Gay ton, Allen, or Lee, or any one else, act you honestly, give it to whom it belongs. “ unto Csesar that which is Caesar's,” and don’t distress yourself about me. Another matter: if you should know who this “Colo” is, as many of you, no doubt think you do,please keep it to yourself: at all events, don’t let it get into Ihe papers, as my factors will at once drop me. They are queer people they write across the water and elsewhere about Commercial matters, but we poor clod-hoppers must not write from a Post Office, not thirty-seven miles off, to you, a> Editor. About this corn story. So many know how, anil do make corn after the best method, that it looks like impudence to tell how 1 do it. But there is John Smith, you know him 1 Well, he is a good plan ter, and is gelling along well, but he has no idea that corn can be grown upon the creek bottom, below his melon patch, to the extent of seventy-five bushels per acre. He grows, on rare occasions, thirty and forty bushels, and would think it very bad corn, if he ha 1 not two ears to a stalk ; great big fellows, that a negro could pile up on his arm. instead of requiring a bas ket. If John will save all of his ashes, j and burn some of the timber ihat is rotting on the creek bank, for the ashes, and get one-third orone-fonrth as much lime; mix these, and when his corn has three or four j blades, apply, say a table spoonful over and around each stalk, he will find more improvement than he is aware of. But if he wants a full crop, he need not expect it without previously placing his land under fine tilth. There is one thing worthy the attention of all Southern men. The average crop of the Slate of New York was set down, j years gone by, at some twenty bush els. Some county in New York is set down as averaging only twenty-five bush- [ els; and yet, by dint of manure, high tilth 1 and good culture, sflme few make over one 1 hundred bushels. Yet. with this glaring fact, Northern men all assert, and Southern writers play second fiddle, that the South is no place to grow corn largely. 1 am a planter of many years standing; 1 have labored long and earnestly to improve my self, and to aid others; I pledge my char acter as a writer—as an experimenter—a a man, and as a , that good laud, suit- i able manures, suitable seed, deep tilth, enough stalks to the land, surface, level culture, and early “laying by,’ 1 will do’ here what it does everywhere else. In 1850, lei every man resolve to do some thing for our corn ‘and. home. Corn is 1 more important than cotton or money. Let each one plant one and a half acre ; by applying, say ten loads of manure, plow eight to twelve inches deep, give another dressing of ten loads, plow four to six in ches deep, then one hundred bushels of cotton seed, and ten- of lime and ashes, , harrow these intimatelely, mark off corn rows with a hull-tongue plow, sow down one and a half bushels of corn, (with a | small cob,) cover with a harrow, anil cul tivate with shovels and harrows. Make j rows three to three and a half, put a part and leave corn twelve to fifteen inches ! distant in the drills. When corn is three to six inches high, give a top dressing of a table spoonful of ashes and lime, with a ‘ double handful of rolton cotton seed, hoe soon after, so as to cover seed and ashes \ Unless very unfavorable, count on one | hundred bushels per acre. Let us prove j that our soil and our climate, when treated ’ as Northern men do, will grow as much ( corn. But bear in mind, that large eared [ gourd seed does not make the large crops anyu-here. Yours in Purity and Love, Colo. J J'J-J 1 j .?• J■£ , OPIUM. This drug is the juice which exudes from incisions made in the heads of ripe poppies, and rendered concrete by exposure to the sun. The best opium comes from Turkey, the East India kind is not so good. Opium occurs in brown lumps, not very large Good opium is hard when cold, but be comes soft when worked in the hands. It has a strong offensive smell, and is very bitter to the taste. Proof spirit digested upon opium, forms lau/lanum. Opium has long been known as a deadly and danger ous narcotic; it has been supposed that the soporific effects of opium depended on morphia, but in 100 parts of the best Ttnk. ish opium only seven per cent, of morphia can be extracted; but morphia is not more poisonous than opium. Ure believes that the deleterious activity of opium is due to its union of an oleate or margarate of nar cotine with morphia. Opium is a slow and a rapid poison.— People can accustom themselves to it, and be able to cat as much as might destroy the lives of three or four at one dose, who were unaccustomed to it. Opium drunken ness is a horrible vice of the Turks and Chinese. Its drunken dreamsare pleasing, but they reveal terrible results. The habit of opium eating is perhaps the most dan gerous of all others —the most alluring— the most difficult to break up. It is said that a great increase in the consumption of opium has taken place in America, especially in the Eastern States, within the past seven years, and its vo taries are found principally among our women. It is a vice which should be frowned down by every person,—it is a drunkenness more deadly and vicious than that of spirits in any shape. —Scientific American. THE HUMAN BODY AND THE HOUR OF DAY. Seat yourself at a table. Attach a piece of metal (say a shilling) to a thread. Hav ing placed your elbow on the table, hold the thread between the points of the thumb and fore finger, and allow the shilling to hang in the centre of a glass tumbler; the pulse w ill immediately cause the shilling to vibrate like a pendulum, and the vibra tions will increase until the shilling strikes 1 the side of the glass; and suppose the time of the experiment be the hour of sev en, or half past seven, the pendulum will strike the glass seven times, and then lose its momentum and return to the centre if you hold the thread a sufficient length of time the effect will be repeated ; but not until a sufficient space of time has elapsed to convince you that the experiment is most complete. 1 need not add that the thread must be held with a steady hand ; otherwise the vibrating motion will be counteracted. At whatever hour of the day or night the experiment is made, the coincidence will be the same. The Delta of the Mississippi. —Sir Charles Lyell’s book contains many inter esting matters, and a good deal of geologi cal investigation and speculation. He estimates that the delta of the Mississippi —by which term he means the rich alluvial ho'toms below the Ohio river—contains ; \ 4.000 square miles, and the “ level allu -1 vial plain to the North"—the southern part i of Illinois—he sets down at 16,000 square • miles. And he assumes, from certain | plausible data, that it required 67,000 years : for the delta to accumulate, and for the plain above 37,000 more, being an aggre gate of 104,000 years. Thus making a pretty free use of time, but geologists and astronomers think they have carte blanche to do so. Causes of the Variety and Vividness of Colors in Flowers. —The petals of flowers do not owe their beauty to the color that paints them, for that, when drawn ofl. is dull and dead; neither do they owe their brilliant tints to the skin that covers them. Their lovely appearance is derived chiefly from the bubbles of water which compose their pabulum. Receiving the sun’s lays, they are enlivened and brightened by re flection and refraction from those drops of water, and from that spot or point of light being seen in every bubble, and striking to the focus underneath By these means the whole llower would at times be one blaze of light, had not nature, to soften the same, covered the petal with an upper and an under skin, which curtails their diamond like rays, and leaves them instead a light ness and beauty unequalled by the most exquisite art of the painter. teg’* Knowledge is power.— Ll.

We were once coming over the railroad from Washington city to Baltimore, when we observed a peculiar sort of a man sit ting hard by—a tall, slim, good-natured fellow, but one who somehow seemed to bear the impress of a person who lived by his wits, written upon his face. A friend, j who was with me, answered my inquiry as to who he was, and at the same time i asked me to keep between the object of my notice and himself, lest he should : come over to our seat, as my com panion said he knew him, but did not wish to recognise hint there. “That is Beau H ,” said he, “a man that is universally known in Wash ington as one of the most accomplished fel lows in the city, always ready to borrow of or drink with you. He never has any money, however, and 1 am curious to know how he will get over the road without paying, for he will surely do it in some way.” “ Probably he has got a ticket, borrow ed the money to buy it with, or something of that sort,” said I. “Nithe. Beau always travels free, and boards in the same way. He never pays money, when wit or trick will pass cur rent in their place,” said my friend. “ What a shocking bad bathe has got on,” said I, observing the dilapidated con dition of his beaver. “ It’s some trick of his doubtless ; for the rest of his dress, you will observe, is quite genteel.” “ Yes, I see.” My friend went on to tell me how Beau had done his tailor out of a receipt in full for his last year’s bill, and the landlady at his last boarding place, and various other t specimens of his ingenuity and wit. j “He owed me ten dollars,” said my friend, “but in attempting to collect it of him one day, I II be hanged if he didn’t get ten more out of me ; so I think I shall let the matter rest there, for fear of doubling the sum once more.” At this moment the conductor entered the opposite end of the car to gather the tickets from the passengers, and give them checks in return. Many of them, as ;is often the case with travelers, who are | frequently called upon, on populous routes to show their tickets—had placed theirs in j the bands of their hats, so that the conduc tor could see that they were all right, and I not trouble them to take them from their ! pockets at each stopping place. I watch ed Beau to see what his expedient would j be to get rid ot paying for his passage. As the conductor drew nearer, Beau thrust his head out of the car window, and seemed | absorbed in contemplating the scenery on i that side of the road. The conductor spoke to him for his ticket—there was no an ! svver. “Ticket, sir,” said the conductor, tap ping him lightly on the shoulder. Beau sprang back in the car, knocking j his hat into the road, aud leaving it in one minute nearly a mile behind. He lookej j first at the conductor, then out of the win dow after his hat, and in a seeming fit of ! rage exclaimed “ What the d—l do you strike a man in , that way fori Is that your business I—is that what the company hires you for I’’ “ I beg your pardon, sir ; 1 only want ■ your ticket,” replied the conductor, meek ly. “ Ticket! 0, yes, it's all very well for vou to want my ticket, but 1 want my j hat!” replied Beau, bristling up. “Very sorry, sir, really. I merely wish -1 ed to call your attention, and I took the only means in my power,” said the con i ductor. “You had better use a cane to attract a 1 person’s attention next time, and hit him over the head with it if he happens to be | looking the other way !’’ replied the indig nant Beau. “ Well, sir, I will apologise to you again if you wish. I have done so already once,” : said the now disconcerted conductor, i “ Yes, no doubt, but that don't restore my property ; that’s gone.” “Well, sir, I cannot talk any longer—; j I'll take your ticket, if you please,” said the conductor. “Ticket! Haven’t you just knocked it 1 out of the window, hat and all? Do you want to add insult to injury “ Oh,your ticket was in the hat band 1” suggested the conductor. “f u;posiig you stop the train, and go back and see 1” said the hatless Beau with indignant scorn depicted on his face. “ Well, sir, I shall pass y’ou over the road free, then,” replied the conductor, at tempting to go about his duty. “The price of a ticket,” said Bean is one dollar; my beaver cost me a V. Your good sense will at once show you that there is a balance of four dollars in my fa vor at any rate.” The conductor hesitated. Beau looked like a gentleman, to one not perfectly well 1 : posted up in the human face: he was well j dressed, and his indignation appearrd most honest. “I will see you after I have collected the tickets,” replied the conductor passing ; on through the car Beau sat in silent indignation, frowning at every body until the official returned, and sat down by bis side. Beau then, in an undertone, that we could only overhear occasionally talked to the conductor like a “Dutch uncle,” and we saw the crest-fal len man of tickets jay the hatless passen ger four dollars. The trick was at once seen through by both my friend and myself, and the next day, over a bottle of wine at the Monu ment House, Beau tol l us he was hard up, hadn't a dollar, picked up an old hat at Gadsby’s hotel in Washington, put his cap in his pocket, and resolved that the hat should carry him to Baltimore ; and it did, with four dollars into the bargain. A SLIGHT MISTAKE. An aged gentleman from the Borders lately resolved to visit the famous London town, and arrived in that city in the month of June. A few days after his arrival, having walked from morn to eve under a sultry sun, he became fatigued, and wish ful to rest himself, he entered Madame Tussaud’s exhibition of wax-work, and sat down. He had scarcely done so, when I balmy sleep stole o'er him. A family party coming up, the veneiable man in the chair was taken for one of Madame T.’s wax work figures, and, accordingly, the party j stood to gaze at him. The sire nodded; they admired! .“Well,” quoth the mother, “how natu ral !” At this the father—a bit of a critic in his own way—planted himself in front of the supposed figure, and with all the sever ity of an Elinburgh reviewer, forthwith began to point out all its faults, and to \ show thn many grievous errors into which the artist had fallen. But all that he said of its faults could not restrain the young est girl from embracing the image—to be. stow a kiss! She did so, and the Botder er awoke. What the feelings of the par ty were, it would be difficult to describe. I One of them, in relating the incident, re | marked that he had heard of the confusion , at the building of the Tower of Babel, but be questions whether it was so great as : that of the party on this occasion. -f Uii MTOML i fafig* A. — -**■ -V .rjff ,• ; >■ ‘J ‘fi i ‘ . cx.. THE TRUE DIGNITY OF LABOR. What is it that felled the ancient forests and cleared vast morasses of other ages! That makes green fields smile in the sun, and corn rustling in the breezes of heaven, whisper of plenty and domestic joy 1 What raised first the hut. and then the cottage, and then the palace ‘ What tilled all these with food and furniture—with foo 1 simple, | and also costly ; with furniture of infinite j variety, from the three-legged stool to the most magnificent cabinet ami the regal throne ? What made glass, and dyed it with all the hues of rainbows of summer sunsets ? What constructed presses, and books, and filled up the walls of libraries, every inch of which contained a mass of latent light hoarded up for the use of ages? What took the hint from the split walnut shell, which some boy floated on the brook, and set on the flood, first the boat, and then the ship, and has scattered these glorious children of man, the water-walking ships, over all the oceans of the world, an I filled them with the produce of all lands, and the machinery and steam of proudest inven tions 1 What has made the wide sea like ! a great city street, where merchants are ‘going to and fro full of international bles sings 1 What has made the land like one great garden, laid down its roads that run, like veins to every portion of the system of life, cut its canals, cast up its lines of rail ways, an 1 driven along them in fire and vapor the a vful but beneficial dragons of modern enterprise ? What has piled up all our cities with their glittering and ex haustless wealth, their splendid utensils, their paintings, their mechanic wonders, all serving domestic life, and its beloved fire side delights 1 Labor! Labor! Labor! it is labor, and your labor, men of the multi tude, that has done it all. —Jloicitt THE VALUE OF A TRADE. Franklin’s advice in regard to the real j value of a trade is certainly the best that i was ever given to mankind, but the seduc- j lions of partisan warfare have in a measure prevented men from following Iris j excellent rule. Men are too often induced • to leave their work-shops by a bribe of a j few paltry dollars, or the hope of gaining : a lucrative political office at a future day. j Thus it is that we see so many office- j seekers rambling about our country cor rupting the people by turning their thoughts ] away from the proper course. Now I ask any reasonable person if common sense does not plainly show us that the business of an industrious mechanic is worth more than a beggarly office entirely dependent upon the will of politicians or office-holders. A trade once gained will never forsake us and none are so independent as the working classes. The whole world live, or should live, by their industry, and they know that with the blessing of Heaven their strong hands must command comfortable food, shelter and clothing for themselves anil those they love. They are also well as sured that by patience and perseverance they can, in time, save enough to provide , lor old age or sickness, or to give to then children if they should require pecuniary 1 aid. An industrious mechanic, therefore, i needs no office and any who forsake acer- ; tainty for such an uncertainty must be very short-sighted. We do not wish to be understood to say that we require no rulers, but we do think that now there are too many. We should not try to make ourselves more dependent than we are by nature. We are all free men and ought always to be so. After a parent has given his children a good moral and practical education he cannot bestow upon them a better boon than to assist them to obtain good trades. 11. X, X X’ B-X3STB C HASS’ €33.
