G.t New Jersey," it tnijr be ststed that clov er teed is often town wo wheat, lor which clofcr hsi been plowed voder, with atis factory results, in Western New York. It it the customary practice to teed with wheat, and whenever the train is sown on i clover tj, it is again followed with do er. Bat in this section wheat is net so often sown on good clover ley ss it should be. " It is more customary to let the land lie until the clover is ran out, and the time is past when the most benefit way be se cured ; besides it is getting much too com. men to sow wheat alter spring crops. Bet in the Northern part of Genesee couniy, end ptrtieielarly what is called the "oak openings, plowing nnder clover either with or without lightly pastarieg for wheat, has bee largely practised with decided adtantage. In such cases the land id wheat is tlwayt seeded aaia to clovrr, the ' two coerse rotation of clover tnd wheat" having been followed many years. In this way a great deal of most excelled wheal has been grown. Cat it is foaod that it is not bes$n follow this course too long. When wheat is sown after clover everj other year, fifteen can or mure, it begins to fail, and show that a change is needed. This is not because the land Is cot rich, as it is foaod that heart crops of corn and barley can be grown on such laud, bit because the soil nerds rest iog for wheal. When corn and other crops Lave been grown, and the land is again sown to wheat, good crops art secured. Tils not call shown that a rotation of crops it necessary to produce the best .resells, but tbcro should be some varietj in the crops adopted that although land may be rssde erj rich bj riowiag nnder so taecb ctvcr, jet to prococe the best returaa, natart needs more change needs a greater ? ariet oi crops to secoro the greatest ad vantage from solargeian amoentol fertiiia ieg nltcr. This ts further shown bj the fct that last fear large crofts of barlcv were grows on the oak openings," nun Urge fields yielding, as 1 am tuld, irm fort to fiftj bethels per acre. Hat there is one puiot of some import aace to those that tVar the land maj be cotat ' clover sick, and that is, that wheat fails er shews a need of a change before cUner. Notonlj is the lanU made rich, and a seccctiUQ t heavj crops of wheat grown, bet when wheat begins to show need of a change, large crops of other grain art grown, which are again fnllewed with good wheat, and all mainl or wholl se cured b freqeent seeding to clover, which Still coutiuue to do will. True, this is done on good land that is well adptcd to clover j but it is not with oat valse as proof that on all grain soils, and especially those suited to winter wheat clorer, if judiciooslj tied in connecticn with barn jard manure, and a good rota tiua will make and keep Una rich end productive. It is also valuable as another proof of the advantage of frequent seeding u clover. And one object in writing at this time, is sgain to urge farmers to seed to clover with all sown grain, an J tt peciallj witter wheat and rjc, as esperi cace and observation each yaar conhrms the opinion that in no other wij can the same improvement of the aail be as casilv or cheiplj secured. 8l I do nut recommend farmers to plow coder i heavy crop of clour ever other year, for wheat. Not hot heavy crops ol wheat can be profitable grown in this wr. Bet I have no dwbt that i rotation to which corn is planted on a two-year clover sod, and followed bj some spring crop with which clover can be town, and this clover, alter laying one year, is followed with wheat, is better for the land and more profit to the owner. In this wsj the laod may be in clever about half of the time, and if the crop is good, it may bt cut for hit. Th hay witn cornstalks and straw, if all are well saved, and judiciously frd, with a suitable proportion of grain, will raakesaT fident manure, if properly saved and ap plied in connection with plowing under a good clover ley every two or three jeiri, to make the land rich and productive. 1 grow clover and other crops in this way; and have several times sown clover' seed on wheat that was town on a good clever ley, and thill do so sgain this sprig 4, if',. .1 . . W ! FOOR PONTO. One of the most affecting stories I ever heard about n dog was tuld me many years seo. br so uncle of mine who once lived in Paris. My uncle was walking on one of the quays, when be saw a maa approtcn, noiutng uog oy a cnain, am por mat was frightened, and yet did not at tempt to stroggle as he was, being led along, tie looked op plteoosly at his jailor, and every now and then tried to fawn about his feet, as if pleading with htm. " Poor beast, he might know seemingly, what was go ing to happen to kins," satd the man. What is going to happen ?" inquired my nncle. Sir, I'm going to drown him that is what is going to happen" Bat why, sir; art yot hit muter ? I am certainly his master, and be is old poor Poato! lam sorry but it must be." . The dog gave a low whine, and trem bling, crouched close to his master. "lie does not seem so very old, and drowning is a hard death,' remonstrated ray tnclr. ' Sir, he is quite useless. : While he was speaking the word a the man unmoored a little bat, lifted the dog in. and rowed to the middle of the stream. When he came to where the water was deepest, my uncle saw him lift up the dog suddenly, and throw him with great force into the stream. If the matter had thought the dog's age end infirmities would prevent his struggling for life he wss very much mistaken, (or he rose to the surface, kept his head well np, and trod the water bravely. The man then began to push the dog away with an oar, and at last luting all patience, ho struck out aojar to deal the dug a blow that he oer balanced himself and fell into the river. He could not ewim, and now began the gene rous animal's efforts, not to save his own life, but that of the master who was trying to drown him. The dog swam to him, aod seizing fast hold of his coat collar, held htm up nntil a boat put off to his rescue and brought him, half drowned and wholly frichtcned, to the shore the faithful do barking, crying, and licking his hands and face in U-e grcate-tesciteinent of affection. I remember stilt the look with which my oncle esed to tell how he stepped forward and asked the man, Uoyou still think him useless this noble, generous dog ?' ' I think he denerves a. better roaster," said a gentleman who had witnessed the in Cident; and there and then he wade an of fer to buy Poo tot but the man, embracing his dog, said hoarsely t "No, sir; no, 1 wss wrong; as long as I have a cruit, I will give half to my poor Poato." A Taet La or. I was once walking a short distance behind a very handsomely dressed young girl, and thinking, as I look ed at her beautiful clothes, wonder il she Ukre half as much pains with her heart as she does with her body. A poor o'd man was coming op the walk with a loaded wheelbarrow, and just before he reached u, he made two attempts to go into the yard f a small houae, but the gate was heavy, and would swing back belore he got through. Wait." said the young girl, springing lightly lorrd, I'll hold the gate open." And she held the gate until he passed in, and received his thanks with a pleasant smile as she went on. She deserves to have beautiful clothes," I thought, "for a beautiful spirit dwells in htr breast." LUtlt CrponL The men digging a pit in Louisville, on Saturday eight, were drowned by an over fliw of water from another pit, and two other men going to their assistance were killed by foal air. M Oo Bless You.'.' A crippled beggar was etrivine to pick up atiine old clothins that had been thrown from the window. when a crowd of rude boys gathered about him, mimicking. bis awkward movements,' and hooting at' his heJpleanes and rags Presently a.. ooblt little fellow came: on ind, pushing his way through , the crowd, helped the poor crippled man to pick up ins gifts, sod, placed them in a bundle. Then as he was running away, a voice above him said, " Little, boy with a straw hat, look up. A lady leaning from an upper window, said earnestly, "God bless you, my little fellow, God will bless you for that." , As he walked along, he thought how glad he had made his. own heart by do ing good. He thought of the pour beggar'e grateful looks; and last, and better ihan all, he could almost her his Heavenly Fa ther whispering, " Blessed are-the merci ful, for they shall obtain mercy. Little reader, when yon have opportunity of do ing good, and feel tempted to neglect it, remember the little boy with the straw hat CiLtroRSU Stti. Not long since a German was ridins alnnz Sansem atreet. near Sacramento, when he heard a pistol shot behind him, and heard the whizzing ot a ball near him, and felt his hat shake. He turned and saw a man with a revolver in his hand, and took off his hat and found freh bullet hole in it. " Did you shoot at me ?" asked the Ger man. Yes. reolied the other party. that's ray horse ; it was stolen from me recently." ' You must be mistaken," said the Ger man ; I have owned the horse for three years." .' Well," said the other, when I come to look at him,. I believe I am mistaken. Escuse me, sir ; won't you take a drink I ' The mod iurr of the city court of Mo bile have made a report upon the late riot in that citr. Thev do not find that the address of judge Kelley, or the conduct of the party arrested by the chief of police, produced the unfortunate result,. but that it most likely grew out of the fact that fire arms were openly worn by colored men present, and that some one of them, very inopportunely, perhaps by accident, fired hia pistol, causing an alarm, a rush of the crowd, and consequent panic. A merchant doing a large business in Lynn, Mass., had for some lime been great ly liaraued by business complications, which almost drove him to distraction. At last he took an sceount of stock, and decided to retire. All the details of his business were sttended to snd closed up with the most sedulous care t arid when at last all was complete, the gentleman went calmly to the insane asvlum at Somerville, and presented himself at its door in the character of a paiimt, saying he had stav ed off insanity as long as he could. a In less than an htur'he was a raving maniac and the extreme expedient of a straight jacket had to be resurted to to prevent him from comitttog the most violent sets ofmsdness.

The motive power con sists of a two and half horse engine attach ed to a car made to contain about twenty ait persons. This little locomotive was a few davs ago out on a sort of pleasure-trip, and appears to have had a merry race up hill and !own dale, and anon on a dead level, at a speed of about eight mites per hour. Ii is claimed that no difficulty was eiperienced in guiding or turning this new steed, and as a result of thiuceesslul ex periment, il is already intimated that lines of steam atagea will be established through the French proeiiices.
