Seed Wheat. When a grain of wheat
germinates, the germ draws its first nu

what scientists call endosperm, which, in
a great part, is starch and gluten, and
from this the embryo wheat plant obtaius
the nourishment necessary to its develop
ment before it is capable of depending on
the soil and atmosphere for sustenance j it
js simply a question, then, whether a
shrunken seed, evidently lacking in vital
ity, contributes as liberally the required
nourishment during the embry otic growtn
of the plant as a plump, vigorous grain of
wheat. It is not reasonable tp suppose
that H will, or that the plant will be as
strong and produce as well, as when
plump seed is sown. There is no ques
tion that much of the deterioration ot our
cereals is dug to the uhc of poor speds.

I pity him oft, from my very heart,
And I wish that his lot were better:
Why, the man is the veriest slave pliye

Come
So he goes like a lamb to the slaughter !
But he feels it the tighter every day,
That terrible debtor's collar !
Ph, what would he give could he say
with us. .
That he owed no luan n- dollar!
You seem amazed but I'll tell you more; j
AVithin two"7 hours I met him-,

As if a liend had beset him :
Yet he. lied from a very worthy man,
Whom T met with the greatest idcusuic-
Whom I called by name, ami forced to

Though heaid he was not at leisure.
He held my last note I sp 1 held him fast !

More wonderful than their intelligence
is their organization. If separate they
would be helpless, and probably soon be
conieextinct. Mr. Belt observed a march

ests of Nicaragua. A dense body of ants,
four vards wide, moved, rapidly in one
direction, cxamiuingevery cranny aiii fal

colored individuals would often stop and
run a little backward, apparently giving
orders. On the Hanks and in advance of
the main bod v, smaller columns would
push out, which pursued the cockroaches,
grasshoppers, and spiders in the neigh-
rborhood. A grasshopper, seeking to es
cape would ofteu leap into the midst of
the ants. After a few ineffectual jumps,
with ants clinging to its body, it wquU
soon be. torn to pieces. Spiders and bugs
which climbed to the top of trees were
followed and shaved a like fate. In
Xicaragua the, vegetarian ants eat up
trees, and carry oil the leaves, to ure as a
manure, ii which grows a minute species
of fungus, on which they feed. They
evince a mutual sympathy and helpful
ness, which to an equal extent can be
traced in man alone. Mr. Belt-. placed a
little stone on one to secure it. 1 he next
ant that approached ran back in an agita

rescue.: some bit at the stone, am tiied

A Calcutta paper gives the following
account "of a plague of Hies: "When
people read of the plague- of Hies of
Egypt, they are sometimes apt to wonder
wliat sort, of flies they were whether they
were our common and sometimes very
tiresome visitor, the housevfly, or whether
they were a species of mosquito, or what.
They could not well have been more tire

jumping green flies in India. Of these
Calcutta has had a veritable plague dur
ing th? evenings of the past week. It has
been scarcely possible to sit at a table
where there was a light. These flies come
to flavor the soup, to improve the tea, or
to fill up the inkstand. They cover a
book if one attempts to read, or they set
tle ou -people's spectacles, or jump into
their eyes. If people talk they have to be
careful lest they draw in more than the
needful breath. The streets have scarce
ly been better than the houses, and we
have seen some people passing lamp-posts
with handkerchiefs over their faces, and
others trying to protect themselves by
he vigorous working of a fan, against

To drive in an open carriage was like
meeting a hail-storm; and in some places

An eminent English Judge, Lord Hath
erley, once expressed his ideas of judicial
conduct and bearing in the following
terms ;
"I have always thought that honor and
dignity were best studied by not talking
about them, but by practical courtesy of
language, and by never allowing any out
break of temper between any memln-r of
the bar or the bench. The dignity of the
bench is best maintained by hearing tirst j
all that persons have to say, by keeping
yourselves on your guard, and forming a
covenant with yourself, as it were, to let
every matter be fully placed before you,
ere you allow yourself to form an opinion,
much less to pronounce a ueeisnm upon
the subject. And certainly you ought
not to disqualify yourself from the oilice
of a Judge by expressing strong opinions
when only one side has been heard, or
still less, when nobody whatever has been
heard.- That is not my opinion of judicial
dignitv. I will only say that during the
fortv-four years I have been at the bar,
