’ r Had the apostles not beett the men
they p|jbfe»*cd to he, their manner
of life must have been one continued
©cene of suffering. To persons who
were nourishing evif passions in

ly enjoyments, the constant mortifi
cation to which they submitted, and
the entire application of the soul to
spiritual and divine things through
the ‘mu>U course of their thoughts,
and words, and actions, must have
been an intolerable burden* Chris
tianity was not like the systems of
ilu* pbUosopbcrts, a code of specula
, tjve opinions* which left men at liber

scribed a rule of life which directed j
the conduct, temper', and sentiments,
even to the very of the
heart ; and called men to .be entirely
different from what they were before.

life was not % burden, but their* de

p sdeamg Seed Corn .from the
HcuUi'r*on—~\ few years ago
when on a lour to the Northern
state's, 1 visited the’celebrated New
jersey farmer; ‘Joseph. Cooper, who
resides on his estate near the Dela
ware He readily answered my nu
merous enquiries respecting ruui at -
ihiis and very obligingly showed me
»his gardens, vineyard, orchards, farm
yard, stock, &c. &c* In walking o
ver a com fit Id I was struck with the
ext^ordit^ 1 proiificancy of tffe»
©talks which generally bore each 2
qi* 3 well filled ears, and sometimes
more. What tue average product of
the acre was I do not now exactly rt
member, but I well; recollect a \v*i
greatly superior to what fields pro-*
ducing stalks of a similar size would
wield a North Cacplina. I isriuVfc-

i Wstor r“ h *
ifaperies etm?&fM tdan.ihein- 1
selves* Z\\t tfiat tire difference wab j
entirely owing to bis superio'* m *de f
of selecting the seed. ‘His mode was |
when the corn was ripe to go through *
the fields and select the ears which j
grew upon the most prolific stalks.-*- j
The preference of this method he ii- |
lustvated by relating, an anecdote of j
Judge Penningtonf This judge, who j
is a considerable cultivator, applied a
few years ago to Mr. Cooper for
some of his i prolific sort of corn for
seed. ‘ Mr* Conformed him wherein
its excellence consisted and promised
to furnish him for one year provided
he would in future select his seed in
the prescribed manner. Three or
four years after the judge made ano
ther and similar application—his
corn had degenerated annually until
now it had,become very little if any
bettef than the common sort. On en
quiry he owned that he had from
Forgetfulness or other cause failed to
select his, seed corn in the field but
that he had, in selecting from the
heap, been very,careful to choosityt;
largest and fairest ears. Mr. C. -told
him this was the worst selection he
* could possibly have made- It Was a
mode that # would inevitably tend to
deteriorate thfc specips, that- these
large ears were sip gly the only pro
duct of a stalk and of couse the least
prolific. The judge- was again sup
plied with seed, was thereafter care
ful in his selection, and his corn
have ever since been Very
j productive.
j It may tend to fasten conviction
‘ of these facts, and of their import
i ance, upon common minds, by asso
, dating them with some other in
j stances of the effects which the se
lection of seeds has upon their pecu
liar species. Large and fair pota
toes a better kind than the*
small refuse sort which are usually
planted. The first shoots of pease
will produce their kind considerably
earlier the next year that those which
put out later and grow near the tops,
of the vines. Innumerable facts of
the like v kincl could be adduced to
show how readily improvements
might be effected, and even the rad
ical change of the species produced.
The, season is approaching when the
recollection of these facts, 4 -if ever,
will be useful, and I request Mr. 11.
