the grain, at once commends it lo the
admiration of tU who examine it. In com

most beneficial results. The Urnicr would
be lirldy rewarded Tor his labor, in a most
prolific return both in grain and straw of
the best quality, the whole community
would be benefited by a more sound and
healthy food. . 1 would recommend to all
interested in improving the quality of our

engaged in the coloration of the soil, to
procure some of it for seed.

She had come down as soon as he had
left the house so unceremoniously. Enter

shawl, she seated heiself at the table in
an indolent, careless manner, .and half
audibly murmured to tie maid of all
work : "

A large slu-e was quickly prepared f r
her, and Hetty noticed that she relished
it exceedingly; so she thought she might
as well tempt her appetite a little further
by descanting upon the delicacies set be
fore her. ; V

"I will lake a small piece," answered
the invalid, " and a slice of tongue with

biscuit, for they look very tempting, and
my appetite seems to increase. 1 will
have some chicken sallad another cup
of lea, Hetty, and some grated cheese and

The poor serving girl began lo look
hghast, as she feared the table would soon
be cleared and nothing left lor herself.

was in search of a bonk to while away the

It is not a triumph ol the North or tri
umph of the South; a triumph of Whigs
over Democrats, or of Democrats oter
Whigs. It tired ite!f through by its in
trinsic streng'h, breaking down party lines
and sectional ties. No party ran claim its
merit. Yet as Whigs we cannot but tegaij
it as fortunate, thai it happened under the
auspices of a Whig Preidenland received
the hearty welcome of a big Adminis
tration. It has disembarrassed the executive
branch of the Gnvrrtuneiit. and enabled
it to pursue its course towards a success
ful prosecution of public affairs. If now
this dead question of slavery is to be p d
vanized, whether for the annoyance of (he
President or to prevent the adoption of
beneficial measures of public policy, I
ran only say lhat the last men whosh-mld
do this are Whigs, and the last Whigs
ho should do it sre the Whiss of the
St:e of New York.

the following proportions: The first
was lo receive half, the second one third,

But, when they came l.i arrange abnul
the division, it was found that, to comnly

repaired lo the' Cadi,. who, having read
the will, observed that such a difficult ques

commanded them lo return after two

the Cadi. The animals were brought.
and the judge ordered his groom to place
his own horse with them. He bade the
eldest brother count the horses. They
are eighteen in number, () judge." he said.
"1 will now make the division," observed
the Cadi. " Y ou, the eldest, are entitled
to half; lake th en nine horses. You, the
second son. are to receive one third, take
therefore six ; while to you, the youngest,
belongs the ninth pari, namely, two. Thus,
lhe seventeen horses are divided among
you ; you have each more than your share,
and I may now take my own steed back
again." " Mashallah I" exclaimed the
brothers, with delight. " O Cadi, your
wisdom equals that of our Lord, Suleiman
IbnDaood."
