I. a . . . .. euapccieii ui oe uiuereni, wiuiout lasting me ap. Alt the crop observed to be thug mixed, are of the second year' growth, from seed supplied from the Patent Office. It may be that this seed (or intermixture ?) is not general. But every cultivator will do well to examine his plants saved for seed, and to be sure that all such nun sacharine plants are excluded. The counterfeits may pe readily known by tasting the sap of the green stalk. Even without this surest test one who has well compared the two plants, may distinguish them by the eye. The tweet or true plant has its seeds covered by a close fitting sheath or envelope, which when ripe, are perfectly black auu glossy on the outside. .Some of these thealh, (but not generally,) hare a fine and soft hair, less than a quarter of an inch long.extendingirom earn, l lie other plants have most of the seed covers of a brownish black color, not glossy, except a few or the seeds, ami will) a hair, about h)f an inch lung, standing out from every seed cover. The pitch is white, comparatively sapless, and without sweetness. These plants are generally the tallest and strongest, and stand erect in many cases after all the surounding true canes have been prostrated by wind. The heads of the worthless plant are usually larger, fuller, and more beautiful, and hung slightly and gracefully drooping to one side. Specimeus ol both plants hive been pla'cedin the office of the State Agricultural Society. There are rules for selecting seeds ol the . 1. ,i . e l i ime cane, wneiner Atriran or intnese, which it may be well to observe, or at least to test, but which J report upon inlormation, without any personal experimental knowledge of the facts, from Mr. Leonard W' ray , the introducer of the Natal Sugar Millet, for "imphee") into France and lliia countrv. I lately heard . me pieviiv,v ui ine nanira, unci,icu uj rung ! experience, is to cut off the heads designed lor seed when they are barely ripe enough for the seed to germinate. The proper time is when the seed is still partly in the milky state, and when the solid and harder part of each seed may be mashed between the finger and the thumb. The theory is, that unripe seeds frodure a growth that goes most to sugar, and ss 1 inier, the moit perfect or fully ripe seeds are more productive of seeds than sugar. Lte as it now is, this notice may sim en- able many persons to test tne opinion, uy .ving, and next j ear trying their la teat Seeds, i which otherwise would be rejected as uuripe and of no value. " 'h' Al"r,"n practice is correct, and the pinio.i on which it is rounded. He counterfeit Chmee Sugar Millet may be the result of successive plantings ol well ripened needs. Either tin plant is a new production, Lucgen crated a to sugar, but improved as to grain, owing ti some cause, othrrwiee there n.Uit have been some few seed of this a difJerent Sorghum not distinguishable among some of the true recti of the Sugar Millet dt.lributed from the l'aieut Oilier.

Murphy, !.&, March 1847. . Bool Fassjiko. One of the most practical rases of 1 book farming' that ha come to our km.wl.dr ia told us br a friend. A young I Msryland farmer, reading man and a work- ing; man, sot hold of Liebie's treat work on agricultural chemistry sonn after its publica tion, ami Decoine convinced ot tne propriety, notwithstanding that his lurm was lime-etonr. land, of making a fresh application nf that fertilizer. After a good deal of hesitation on the part of his father, the lime was tried, and after being tried, continued. The improve ment in consequence has been such, that where five and six barrels of corn was the outside, as much as fifteen per acre have been made, and other crops in portion, . A debt, the interest of which they could scarce lr keep down before, has been paid on, and they have bought field after field with reidy money from neighbors who could not afford to buy lime, or agricultural Dooks. v , . American farmer Grapes. Dr. Durfee, of Fall river, (Mass ) has in his green-house a bunch of grapes esti mated to weigh fifteen pnumls, and measur ing four feet hve inches in length. JJy-the-way, we have mentioned to several friends the fact that we saw in the grapery of Capt.' Lyons, of Columbia, a bunch of grapes, of the Palestine variety, measuring twenty- lour inches long, and were almost laughed at. But Mai. l'erry saw a few weeks since, in the same place, a bunch twenty-seven inches long. . Modern travellers speak of bunches of these grapes in their native local ity as growing in immense clusters and six feet long. " ... Spartuntburg Spartan. Chinkse Svqar-Cank in Maine. At a meeting of the Poni'dngical Fair at Bangor, the subject of the Chinese snirar-cane was discussed, and many cultivators related their experience with it. 1 hey all agree in one thing that, altnougn tne season just passeu has been an unfavorable one, enough has been shown to convince them that the sorgho will be a valuable crop Tor Maine culture. Mr. Buttnan exhibited a quait of sirup, the product often quarts of juice, which was a very superior article, and equal to any des cription of sirup in the market. :- A New Wise. We have had the pleasure of testing a (to us) new wine, made from the juice of the tomato. We consider ourrelf a "good judge ol wine, ana pronounce tins a first-rate article. It is made with no other ingredients than the pure juice of the tomato and sugar, and very much resembles cham paigne, a light transparent color, with a pleas ant, palatrable flavor.

Thoutth the weather was bitter even for the seanoti, the young man had no clothing but a pair ol ragged cloth pant, and the remains ol flannel shirt, which etpnsseu nts muscu lar chest in many large rents. But in spite of hi tattered apparel and evident fatigue, a ne nail icnrocw nr..n. i I I ...I L..u;i .ao.. ikal a..'.l.r. a.f the basement tair, a critical observer could not fail lo notice a con.ciou air of dignity, and the ntatkrd trace of cultivation and re finement in his pale haggard countenance. The door wa speedily opened, and disclos ed a large comlortably furnished room, with Its glowing grate of anthracite before which waa placed a luxuriously furnished breakfast table. A fashionably attired young man, in a brocade dressing-gown and velvet slippers, was reclining in a softafni, busily reading tha morning papers. The beautiful young wile had lingered at tha table, giving to the servant in wailing her orders for the house bold matters of the day, when the timid rsp at the door atlrarted her attention. Klie com manded it to be opened 1 but the young mas ter of the mansion replied that it was quite useless being no one but some thievish beg gar but the tloor was already opened, anil the sympathies of Mrs. May wood enlisted at once! "Come into the fire," cried the young wife, impulsive, before you perish !" The mendicant, without exhibiting any surprise at such unusual treatment of a street beggar, slowly entered the room, manifesting a painful weakness at every step. On his entrance, Mr. May wood, with s displeased air, gathered uphis papers and left the apart ment. The companionate lady unwi-ely placed the half frozen man near the fire, while she prepared a bowl of fragrant cofl'ee which, with abundant food, was placed be fore him. But noticing the abrupt departure of her husband, Mrs. Maywood, with a cloud ed countenance, left the room, whispering to the servant to remain until the strangershould leave. She then ran hastily up the richly mounted staircase, and paused before the entrance of a small laboratory and medical library, and occupied solely by her husbitid, who wan a physician and practical chemi't. She open ed the door and entered the room. Mr. Maywood was sitting at a smull table with his head resting on his hands, apparently in deep thought. "Edward," said the young wife, gently touching his arm, 'I fear I have displeased you ; but the man looked so wretched, I could not bear to drive him away," and her sweet voice trembled as she added" You know 1 take sacrament to-day." " Dear Mary," replied the really fond hus band, " I appreciate your motives. I know it is pure goodness of heart which leads you to disobey me, but still I must insist upon my former commands that no beggar shall ever be premitted to enter the house. It is for your safety that I insist upon it. How deep ly you might be imposed upon in my frequent absence Irom home 1 shudder to think. I he man that isnow below may be buta burglar in disguise, and already in your absence taking impressions in wax ol the Uinerent key-holes in the room so ss to enter some night at. his leisure. Your limited experience of city life makes it difficult for you to credit so much depravity. It is uo charity to give tn street beggars, it only encourages vice, deur est." " It may be so," responded Mrs. May wood," but it seem wicked not to relieve suf fering and want even it the person ha be haved badly and we know it. But I will promise you not to ak another beirser into the house." At this moment the servant rapped violent ly at the door, crying out the beggar was dy ing, "Come, Edward, your skill can save him, I know," said his wife hastenins from the room. The doctor did not refuse this appeal to his professional vanity, for he immediately followed his wife's flying footsteps a she descended to the basement. They found the mendicant lying pale and unconscious upon the carpet where he had slipped in his weak ness from the chair where Mri. Maywood had seated linn. M He is a handsome fellow," muttered the doctor as he bent over him to ascertain the state of his pulse. And well he might siy so. The glossy locks ofraven hair had fallen away from a broad white forehead ; his closed eyelids were bur dered by long lashes, which lay like a silken fringe upon his pale broozed cheeks, while a delicate aequdine nose, and a quare massive chin displayed a model nf manly beauty. Is he dead i" aiked the young wife anx iously. "Olt.no! it is only a faintinz fit. induced by the sudden chiig of temperature, and perhaps the lirst Uge of starvation," replied the Doctor sympathizing!)-, lie had forgot ton for the moment In cold maxim of pru dence, and ad-lrd, " He mu.t be carried to a room without fire, and plared in a comforta ble bed." . . The coachman was called in to assist in lifting the athletic stranger, who was soon , carried to a room in the chamber, where the doctor .dmi.i.stcedwhh,, own han,.. atrong doses of port wine sang young man on became partly eonKioM. but all conversation wa. .ornate u.m. suuk quietly to sleep.

Dr. May wood felt his forehead flush painfully I it I pi. penred to him for the moment that the prea-, cher must have known of hi want of charity toward strange rs, and withtd to give him a public lesson; but he soon aw, from the f tenor of hi remarks, that his own guilty con-1 science had alone made the application in hi ; particular rase. I have not space, nor in-; deed the puwer to give any synopsis of the sermon ; but that it, combined with the inci- dent of the morning, effected a happy revo-, lution in the mind of at least one of its hear. , er. So much so, that on the return of Dr. Maywood from church, he repaired at once? to . the room of the mendicant to offer such atten tions as he (night stand in need of. But the young man seemed to be much refreshed by rest and nutritious food, and commenced gratefully thanking hit host for the kind at tentions he had received, which, without doubt, had saved his life. But I will recom pettse you well, for, thank God, I am not the . beggar that I seem. I was shipwrecked on Friday night in the Ocean Wave, on my re turn from Indii. My name was doubtless among the list of the lost for I escaped from the waves by a miracle. I attempted to make my way to New York, where I have ample lumis in bank awaiting my orders, but I must have perished from cold and hunger had It not been for you and your wife's provident charity. I was repulsed from every door as an impostor, and could get neither lood ot rest. To be an exile from one' native land ten years, and then, after escaping from the peril of the ocean, to die of hunger in the streets of a christian city, I telt was truly a bitter fate. " Mr name is Arthur Willett," added the stranger. ' W hy, that is my wife's family name. She , will be doubly pleased at her agency in your recovery." " ui what state is she a native i asked Arthur Willett eagerly. " I married her in the town ol B , where she was born." At this moment Mrs. Maywood entered the room, surprised at the long absence of her husband. Arthur Willett gazed at her with a look of the wildest surprise, murmuring : " u cannot be it cannot ae, I am deliri ous to think so." Mri. Maywood gazed with little less aston ishment, motiottless as a statue. " What painful mystery is this ?" cried Doctor Maywood, excitedly, addressing his wife, who then became conscious of the sin gularity of her conduct. "Oh, no mystery," she replied, sighing deeply, " only this stranger is the image oT my long lost brother, Arthur." And Mrs. Maywood, evercotne with emotion, turned to leave tlte room. " Stay one moment," pleaded the stranger, drawing a small mourning rin from his finger, and holiiing it up, asked if she recognised that relic i " It is my father's gray hair, and you are " His son, Arthur Willett, and your bro ther." Mary Willett Maywood fell upon the men dicnat'sbreast, weeping tears ot seewtest joy and thanksgiving. Doctor Maywood retired from the room and lelt sitter and brother alone in that sa cred hour of reunion, saying to himself: " Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." FA1.bE COURAGE. George Washington Lafayette Bragg was a brave bor, of the tribe of Puff, lie was never afrafd of anything which could not hurt him. He could beard a lion in his den, or face a scare-crow in a corn-field, provided the lion was dead, and the scare-crow a man of straw.
