The following, from a report on corn culture, by J. M. Merrick, of the Berkshire (Mass.) Agricultural Society, auggests more truth on that important subject than we recol lect to have teen condensed into to tinalt a pace: ' " We are happy to observe that the tpirit of improvement noticeable in other depart ments of agriculture has reached the cultiva. lion of com; that more inquiries are made aa to the best method of proceeding j that great er attention it paid to the selection nl teed a very important point, and one that hith erto lint been much neglected ; that the re lative value of different varieties are care fully considered ; that manure is more gener ally spread and ploughed in, while thequan tity i increased and the quality improved ; that high hilling ia more discountenanced that frequent stirring nf the land by the cul tivator and hoe i believed to be the aurest preventive against the effects of ong-c n tiuued drought j and that the old prejudice in favor of the widest dittance between the rows is abating. The consequence is, that greater crop are raised from the tttne extent ol land, anil the question of profitableness is brought nearer to a definite solution. Some nf the most rigidly conservative farmers ad mit that probably the highest results are not yet attained, and that the time may come when, with bt'tter knowledge applied" to th culture nl com, eighty bushels may be grown upon ihe acre that now yields forty or fifty. It will thru be found that no more profitable field crop i raised in New-England." Taking the foregoing as our text, and beg ging that the reader will remember th text, even if he forge It the sermon, and assuring him that ihe text is good, however the tier until mav be, we will comment briefly upon it. I. " 'i he spirit of improvement noticeable j ia other dfpirttneiils if agriculture has reached the cultivation nf com." It is Strang but true, that thia did not happen sooner. Indian corn hat had more than three centorie to w in the esteem of mankind ; yet of all the pa I inns whose climate favors itt growth, not one yet fully realizet its value; and of all the nations lint are unauie luiiy to supptv their own bread, or materials to fatten their meat, not one yet imports a much Indian corn aa would be for its interest. Every corn-growing country will yet produce more, and etery nnn-rorn-growing country will imoort more. See, you who live a few years, if it it not to. 2. " More inquiries are made at to the best method of proceeding." Better late than never. Why did our lailiert make thcmele the extra labor of putting manure in the hill. instead of tilouirltins it in m warm lands. harrowing in on those not ao warm, and alt- Iributing in the hilt only on the cold ami backward f Why did iliey, and why do too many of ut, lull their corn half way up to the moon, for no good purpose r Why have we been cultivating good corn land at only a few dollar profit per acre? It hat been for want of more iuquirie after the best me- ihoda. A little earnrt inquiry, a few accu rate observations, a csrvlul mark of Ihe mea sure of success under different methods, would long ago have diminished Ihe labor and increased the produce. Thousand of hard working men hat expended more labor to crow a hundred bushels of cor) on four : acret than would hate sufficed to grow it n ... ... two. S. ' Great attention Upaid to the selection of teed." For the extreme North, the yel low, Canada corn, ia good. The kind we mean hat from twelve to twenty rowa on the ear; the eara are about eight inchet long; un tier rood cultivation, two mature on a ata Ik the kernel are close and deep, leaving I vert- small Cob; the shelled Corn equalt two bushels lor viree 01 ears; anu tne yiem ia from fillv to one hundred bushel of ehelled ' corn per acre, if the cultivation it good, j a,-. ,, ( a little removed from our Northern frontier, including Ithode Isl and, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Middle and Southern New-Yotk, Southern Michigvn, Not litem Ohio, and ti on tmiardt the Paci fic, we can conceive of nothing superior to the Dutton corn. Itt tare are about a foot in length I itt rows, eight I kernels large. j with no apace between color, deep yellow. including lo red ; yield jual about one Dusnei ol shelled corn to two bushel of ear. 8till farther ioulh, larger kinds will com mand themselves. Whatever variety it pre ferred, much will be glined by selecting the most perfect and the earliest ripe ear for seed. Seed corn it olten liept over winter in heated rooms ami it i certain that no great evil results from such a court but e can hardly resiat the belief that it will tprout a In lie more vigorously if kept in a dry, but cool place fr we presume that the lets change of temperature a teed undergoes, the greater itt vitality. Wheat front an Ke-u.tmn aarcoiihacut will terminate after 5i)0o years and we presume that a kernal of corn would, after 10,000 years, il it could be kept all the time dry and at a temperature of ii'i whereas, if tiie tempera tut and lha degree of moisture were often changed, it might louse considerable pattol itt vitality in lest than one vrarl and at there it no UiHiculty in presvrviiig teed corn dry Trtid icool, w would m picHttf it, ' 4. " Manure it more eenerellr ipreaJ and plouchetl in." On dry, warm (and, thin ahouTd alwiTi be done. On land of but me dium armtn and fnrwardneii, it majr be bet ter to plough in a large part of the manure, and to put the remainder in the hill, epecial Ijr in Northern districts, where a too ihort summer and an early frost ia feared. On very cold lands it may be welt to deposit the whole m the hill, lor the sake or procuring; an early start, though we doubt it. Corn, if the ground be properly mellowed, is witling to reach far for its pabulum. The manure benefits the corn most when evenly incorpo rated with (he whole soil, except in so far as its object is to procure an early germina tion. This, it is true, ia important, since the nature of the corn plant is to grow rapidly from the 6 rut, or to receive a stint, from which it doe not easily recover. Much judgment on the part of the husbandman it requisite, in order to administer best to lis eaHjr thrift, and at the tame time to provide for its continued growth and rich maturity. 6. " While the quantity it increased and the quality improved." That it quite poi ble. Ten loads ol barn manure, composted with ten loads of welNcured swamp muck, with some ashes, shell lime, and a little plas ter, will give as good a erop of corn as twenty loads id barn manure, and leave the ground just about as well prepated for a future crop. I here is probably mure gained hy coiupoxing multure for Indian corn titan for any other crops and one reason of tht. we apprehend, is that when comported, it mingles more perfectly with the soil, not being buried in lumps, but permeating the whole mas, and thus UiS'uting pabulum for the roots in every part. . 6. " High hilling is more discountenanced." If the toil is property loosened to a depth of six or eight ruches, no hilling is necessarv. ferlectiy Hat cultivation it better lor tne crop. If the corn is to be followed by clover, it i desirable fur the aake of a smooth sur lace. On heavy, clay lands, high hilling may posnibly be of service ; but the instances, we belieVe, are rare, in which it would not be the wiser course to tlioiough drain audi lands, ao that the corn should not require hilling before planting corn on them. On all feasible soils in good tilth, mellowed up to a sufficient depth, the only apology for hilling corn is, that it ia a little easier to cover the weeds about the hill than to dispose of them otherwise, and to labor it saved, and that without special injury, except where the ground it to be seeded at the last dressing nf the corn, in which case even a moderate hilling is objectionable. 7. " PrTrjoent atirrina; of the load by the cultivator and hoe is the surest preventive ajainst the effects of lour continued drouth." It io; and if the ground was mellowed to a gnnd depth by previoua cultivation, it it a authcient remedy. Merely stirring the sur I face toil, if the tub-toil it nearly impervi jou stn air and water, will not suffice. The ! downward tendency of rain-water it reverted 'after long evaporation front the turface ; the (water that had tunk 10, 12, or 14 nchet, ia (returned towardt the surface; it romet np ; impregnated with the tails of the subsoil ; it 'brings op food for the corn from below where its roots penetrate: but the readines with I which it tines this, and the quantity of plant- food which it brins op. depend very much j upon the depth ol the previous cultivation. 8 Old prejudice in favor of the widest distance between the rows is abating." We do not exactly understand this, and to we j will give our own views. IVry tlou plant j ing only atlh to tht labor without incrtating the crop. Here many, )erhaps mnjiirity, will opprne us; but we have our own view. : and here they are. II you plant a eery small variety of corn, you may get larger crop by planting a thickly aa three feet each way. If yae plant a little larger variety, three aod a half feet may be a suitable dit tance. And if your ground ia very hard to till, but a strong toil and richly manured, it may be advisable to plant nearer than four leet. But il your corn ia of tuch variety as i most profitable lo grow in the Middle Slate, and if your ground it feasible, four feet it near enough. We da hot tsy with out much experience and the most careful observation, but with thttt, and motf tonfident- ;'ty, that four it our favorite number i row u'Jou our ieei apart, inn jour feci mine row, tour atalk in the hdl, and within four inchet of! eacn otner. uur ruie goes on an term. But with a medium variety, it will give re turn of more thelled corn than thicker plant ing, and will require let labor. With large varieties, tuch as are cultivated south of the Middle State, we presume greater distance would be preferable but of this we art nut so confident. We will not follow our author further; but will beg the reader lo turn bark and review hie concluding remark on the increase and profitableness ol the corn crop. I he ground lor thit crop, we repeat from former num ber, should be kept loose and clean through May and June and the early part of July ; but this should tuflire ; and we insist that after the ground hat become filled with euro roots, if thould bt Irt alone, We would al most aa soon drive a herd ut wile buffalo over our broods of rhitken. at drive a plough through our turn ruutt late in July or in Au gust. Weed can create no necessity for it il the ground ha been cultivated at il should have been, previously. We quite agree with Mr. Merrick, thai no more profitable crop can be raised in New Kngland t and wo think the tame remark ap plies with equal truth In large portion, if not la Ihe whole of the United States, Daii.tto WgT.

The discovery by American shipmasters of r. i i. .i - Ti. e i i i uuanoieianua mine racuic ocean, wntcn nave now been taken possession of, under the law of Congress, in the name of the United States, i certainly one of more interest lo the great matt of farmers, manufacturers, and merchanta than if a new El Doraiio hntl been opened. These island. are not covered with gold dust, but dust which will rover our wasted fields with golden grain. The cost of Peruvian guno has been car ried up to the highest point attainable by the agents of that Republic; and the Minister of Peru, in a letter dated " Washington, May 5, 1856, aayi "no advantage can possibly result to American agriculturists from any further agitation or movements on their part towsrdt obtaining a free trade in Peruvian guano or reduction of price in their favor." And when thia question had been thus settled and concluded, Jervis and Maker's islands were discovered to be covered over with guano, and provision was made by the act of 1 8th of August, 1856, for their being taken possession of by the American Guano Com. pany. fhe test to be applied to thee guano islands it experience in their use. But it may be iuterestins to agriculturists, especially own er of waste laml, to he told that the Jervi island guano haa been already analyzed by A. A. Hares, chemist, of Boston, a man of great eminence in his profession, and hit re port it at loilows: The sample presented of the droppings of fowls, which, dried, were light colored, very uniform line powder.

Now, inasmuch a the American guano contain nf phrrsphnric acid eighty -six parts, we conhdenti v believe this new ruano win oe in due time one of the greatest of all bless ings conferred upon our already highly favor ed laud.

Th tea Ibinrr. ,a-o U:i.l had gone to be3, and Charles Lighte, throw ing down his newspaper, seated himself on the sofa beside his wile. A hand slid into his own. thinner and less delicate than when, long ago, it had first met nis; dui tne tame cunhding, loving hand. And out of the fullness of her heart the good wife spoke t " I have been thinking, Charles, as I watched thit bright firelight flickering over our comfortable room, how happily we live; how much we ought to do for others, in return for the blessings that are daily heaped upon our heads." "Yes, Carrie, but these blessings are earned by daily work; you women ait at home by the comfortable fires, and little think how your husbands and fathers are toiling meantime to procure the shelter, and fuel, and food for which you are to grateful to rroviaence. An arch smile lighted the still pretty face. at the wife answered, " Ah, and you hus bands and fathers enter the orderly house, and eat the well-cooked punctual meals, and play with the neat, well-dressed, and well uiaciplined children, and enjoy the evening coiniori anu repose, wunout realizing now your wife, w ith head, and hand, and heart, must have toiled to bring about all these quiet results. I might easily give you practical proofs of what I have asserted ; but I deliiht in having- you think of home as a place for enjoyment and repose, a warm, sunny harbor after the atormt and chills of , the world outside ; therefore, I take my own rest at the tune you take yours. It not thia better than to be alwayt keeping before you, by help of a little management, the convic tion that I am a weary victim ? Our inte rests are mutual, and I feel that the knowl edge I am resting, adda to your repose." Mr. Lighte'i face glowed" with pleasure at hia wife'a candid, simple, confiding words: the sympathized with and understood him she only in the great wide world ! How he loved her ! How good, and true, and gentle the had alwayt been ! Thut he thought, at they both tat dream, ine by the fireside. Mrs. Lighte awoke first from her reverie ; the wat not accustomed to waste time in dreams ; " Charles, while I think of it, for I forgot this morning, the white sugar ia all out, (.they had been married a great while, and die transition from sentiment to house hold wantt wat natural for her,) we must have another barrel." Thit brought Charlea Lighte back to the purpose for which he had thrown aside his newspaper; " Don't you think, Carrie, that now we have so many children, and they all young, we might use brown tugar instead of whiter" " What thall I do for company ? and, be tides, children have aa sensitive palates aa we. I recollect well, how, in my childhood, 1 disliked coarse, cheap food." " And now your family are all epicures." What ! gfuttont f " " Oh, no ; but if meat it an hour too old, or bread a trifle done, or eggs in the least altered, or pudding ia heavy, nothing will do but you must procure a substitute ; the things are not really bad ; many would eat on lor the take of economy." " It there no good result from my'epicuri anisin t" " Yet ; I am w illing to ow n that no man in the city haa more nutritious and palatable food on nit table than 1 ; but, Carrie, the timet are hard, and we must begin to econo mise." " Now I understand ; yon have been talk ing with Mr. Murke; I thought you meant to dissolve your copartnership in the spring ; that man w ill spoil you with hia meanness." " I cannot afford to dissolve vet ; my family expenses are too heavy . And besides, I am 'not sure but what you call meanness in Murke, it. after all, commendable foresight. Do you not remember what a spendthrift he was'in hit first wife'a day i" " No, Charlea. I remember that when we were lovers, we used to admire hit ge nerous disinterested conduct. I do not know a man in Boston whose position waa more truly enviable than hit at the time of which we speak." " What '. besieged by high and low, for help, never sure of a moment at hit own command ! Do von call it enviable to be at every one beck and call; Wat a poor familv burnt out, or eomebodv'i filth cousin to ne Durieu,or a minister to oc uuiiiunisnrii ur supported, or a returning prodigal to mAt pcace with hit family, or a lunatic taken to the hospital, or a city improvement m,c?, no one could accomplish th object well a Murke."
