Seed on Ric/t. or Poor‘ Land.-—-There appears
to be some diversity of op_iuion as to the point
whether good or.poor lend requires the greatest
quantity of seed. and the practice _among_ far-
mers is probably as variable as their opinions-
It is certainly desirable that the proper course
should be pursued: a wrong one mustof neces-
sity subject the followers ofit to losses. In order
to arrive at a correct understanding of the mat-
ter. the manner in which plants grow on rich
and on poor soil should first be consideretl.-—
Wlien'a seed, say_of wheat for example, is put
into it rich soil. it springs up with a broad vigor-
ous lenfand shoot. throws out strong roots. tin-
rnediately hegiustn tiller or push out side shoots
from the root. and if not checked or crowded
will sometimes show frotn 10 to 20, and even
more perfect stems, or heads. from asingle plant.
Ifthe seeds are put in close together in such a
soil, the plants will tiller, but the stems must
rise close together»; a want of circulation ofair,
is experienced and though a great growth of
straw is produced. the quantity and qiialilyof
the wheat is most generally of an inferior kind.
Besides. as wheat stems when grown in such a
crowded state. are liable to the diseases and
tlitficulties of plants grown in the shade. they
urn usually wanting in solidity and firmness,
and frequently are lodged so easily as ‘o ullord
little or no grain.
When the seed is sown on land of _a poor
quality," the shoot and the root are less \»IglIl’0U5
and do not exhibit the disposition to expand and
tilleras in the former case ; very freqtietitly not
more than one or two stalks is produced from 2
root. the stems are hard and little subject to the
diseases incident to crowded wheat. and Valel.‘/'_
lodcss from rapidity of growtlror weakness or
stem. The same remarks are in general appli-
cable to all other kinds of grain of plants, so far
as the richness or poverty of the soil It: concerned.
_It would seem then to be perfectly reasonable
to suppose that on rich land less seed should be
ustd than on land more reduced. and 108 rams
developed in cultivation. it is believed. C°”'°5'
end with this theory. We have seen tttslunces
in which the crop ofgrain and of roots. there was
reason to think was much reduced by a rich soil
being overseeded. The plants were V|E‘"°”-"
but crowded ; in grain immense growths of
straw was produced, btit the berry wasliglit and
imperfect in the roots, the tops were most:
luxuriant, but the bulbs and tubors evidently
guffgred. In confirmation of the opinion here
advanced. and in particular as we know it is
contrary to the practice of some. perhaps many.
of our farmers. who are in the habit of more
heavily seeding good than poor land, we niakc
the following extract from an able paper by ati
experienced farmer. in the May number of the
London Farmer's Magazine: in treatipg ofthe
potatoe. and the best method of producing great
crops, the writer says:
"The error is. in planting good land you put
in twice as tnnch seed as is required; the conse-
quence is a great mass of haulm is produced.
which by being so close together draws each
other up; your land is covered with a mass of
green that excludes the sun aiitl air. and in dry
summers suck up all the moisture required for
the tubers. and if any ofthose are formed there
is nothing to bring them to perfection. and this
is the true cause why in good rich laiid_yoti do
not obtain a crop ; the fault therefore is not in
the land. The very same error is committed in
sowing wheat and other grain to thick."
We knew a small piece of rich made land
sowed with barley at the rate of live or six
bushels to the acre. and the crop was an entire
failure. There can be no doubt that if properly
distributed, a bushel of‘. wheat will furnish as
many plants as can grow on an acre of good
land. and a bushel and a half is sufiicient for
any latgd fit to are sites’... into et£tlls"n-lite‘ ‘:2
fdwsiare sufficiently distant from each other to
allow a free circulation of air, and the access of
the sunbeams; and the same remark holds true
of most other plants. Thus wheat sown in drills
rarely sufl'ers from the causes that are so fatal at
times to that sown broadcast. as the spaces be-
tween the drills allow the access of light and air
to the stems ofthe plant. and aids the perfection
of the grain. As a general rule then. we think
it may be considered as settled. that good lands
require less seed than poor ones. and vice versa.

“ Look -where you're g'oing.”—If yoti in-
tend to marry—if you think your happiness
will be increased and your interest advanced
by matrimony-—besure and “ look where
you’re going.” Join yourselfin union with
no woman who is selfish. for she will sacri-
fice you--with no one who is fickle, for she
will become estranged-—have naught to do
with a. proud one. for she will despise you-—-
nor with an extravagant one. for shewill
ruin you. Leave a coquette to the fools that
flutter around llel'—-let her own fireside ac-
commodate a scold——and flee from a woman
who loves scandal as you would flee from
the evil one. “ Look where you’re going,”
will sumitall up. Young ladies, when you
are surrounded by dashing men—-wlien the
tone of love and the words of compliment
float out together-—-when you are excited by
the movement of the whirling waltz, or melt-
ed by the tenderness of mellow music, arrest
yourself in that rosy atmosphere of delight,
and "look where you're going.” When a
daring hand is pressing yours, or your deli-

and the stars seem but to breathe out inno-

hear--gaze into your heart unshrinkingly,
and “look where you’re going.”

ARRIVAL OF THE LIVERPOOL.
Eighteen Days Lalc'r—-I-1i'_ghly Important-
Protest of 10,000,000 ofthe Bills ofthe U. S.
at Paris—Stalc of Trade— The Harvest-
War in Spain ended, and retirement of Don
Carlos to France.
The steam ship Liverpool, Captain Fayrer,
arrived in New York at an early hour on Thurs-
day morning. after a passage of eighteen days
and a half from Liverpool. bringing London
and Liverpool dates to the 20th of September.
From the different New York papers we glean
the following summary oftiie news brought by
her arrival.
By this arrival, the intelligence has reached
us, that ten millions of U. S. Bank bills have
been protested at Paris! This. taken in con-
nection with the developments here, will doubt-
less produce a great excitement throughout the
country. '
The civil war which has so long dcsolated
Spain has at last terminated in thefliglitof Don
Carlos to France. and the surretider of his mis-
erable remnant of an army. ~
There is evidently a better state of things in
the London money market-—there is less‘ de-
mand for moiiey—but the Bank of England has
not yet reduced its rate ofinterest.
The harvest prospects are gloomy—the wea-
ther liad been unfavorable--and the crops in
many districts of England and Scotland were
seriously injured.

in his demands upon the Turkish authorities. It
is said ifthe Egyptian advances into Asia Mi-

would be opposed by the English and French
fleets. The Porte wished these fleets with-
drawn, but Admiral Rnussin refused.
The five great powers appear to be secretly
waning against each other--Russia and Prussia
-being on one side, and England, France, and
Austria on the other.
It was reported that the Russians were pre-
paring to enter the Bosphorus. The Viceroy of
Egypt was also making preparation for war.
~ A fire, which entirely destroyed one of the
suburbs of Constautinople,occuired on the 12th

is at this moment, :1 poor fellow, living in
Normandy, who was condemned to twenty
years’ hard labor for a crime for which he
might be sentenced to death. After nine-

on her death bed confessed that she commit-
ted the crime, and had denounced the man
from a feeling of revenge at some"-slight
which she had experienced. Her statement
was found to be correct, and the poor fellow
was set at liberty, after nincteen years of as-
sociation with thieves and murderers. But
the most incredible part ofthe storyremains
to be told. Although the victim had become
old and feeble, and was unable to work for
‘his bread, nothing was (lane for him,_and‘he
is now a common beggar, eating the crust
