To persons who were nourishing evif passions in . their hearts, and panting after world 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 ty to Hv; ns * hev,pleased , but it pre 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.

FUOlw|t Sl'rtß. 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.

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. tp give tpem publicity in the way be may judge calculated td’ make the best impressions* i £ feel well assur i eel r the assurance rests on what With me is high that were I Mr*.
