BT ABIEIm'
Thongb iVe wandered far, my heart'i not here,
Tls itill in my tit distant home j
And raem'rj ttill bides with the loved and dear,
Though pleasant the scenes where I roam;
Though pleasant tha voices tbat greet me.
Yet ne'er can they strike the heart chord,
And vibrate such music, more 6weetly,
As then echoed lore in kind words.
As then echoed love in kind words.
Though thousands were ready to lore me,
The length of my days would seem drear,
If thoughts of the angeled above me,
"With those that I earthly hold deaf,
Were effaced from my fond recollection
I'd regret my long earthly stay,
Could I not my present affection
Commingle with that far away,
Commingle with that faraway.
. How sweetly some voices, how pleasant,
Re-echo the ones that hare flown,
Uniting the past with the present,
Place memory high on her throne ; '
. Such music could I Lare to bless me,
Then never would I seem alone ; -The
past would then fondly caress me,
The present would be all my own,
The present would be all my own.

Buckwheat.
Thistas been called the lazy farmer's
crop, perhaps from the story of the man
who was intending all summer to break
up a summer fallow, to sow with wheat
in the fall. Failim? in this, bv nefflect-

the proper time, he concluded to wait till
spring ui.d plant with corn, rut was ton
late, again, and anally endtu by turning

we way commend to some who do not in

to sow. Beside,
where other crops h :u:ch '
or on a spare acre or ,
good farmers will, sometin;Os.learw with
out much of anything growing on. P
places in the cornfield where th.e blac.c-
grub, or wire-worm, or wet, nas ow
ed the corn, a little buckwheat miv of
ten profitably be sown, to prevent the ut
ter barrenness of the year.
We know there are some objections to
buckwheat as unfitting the land for sub
sequent crops. We have heard, from
good authority, that corn or barley will
not do well after it; but we cannot say
from experience. Oats will grow after
it, as we know, but they, or whatever
else you raise, will be liable to have a
good deal of buckwheat mixed with them
and this we consider the great objection
its culture, as it sometimes remains in the
ground two or three years, i nis may oe
partially prevented by fall plowing, after
the crop is taken off, but some will still
come up next spring. For these reasons
we would not advise the sowing of our
best frrain land, especially since wheat
has aain bscome a possibility. We feel,
indeed, a good deal like a substantial
farmer of our acquaintance, who counts
his acres by the hundred, who was lamen
ting last year that he could not have any
land to spare for a buckwheat patch, and
thought he must hire an acre or two of
one of his neighbors for that purpose !
He evidently had land enough for any
quantity of buckwheat, but did not want
to use it for that. Wre must, however be
permitted to rejoice that everybody is not
so careful of their land as he is, or as
we should be ! Beside, there are, on al
most every farm, low, wet places, or
patches of ground too ooor to raise any
thin" else, which will do very well for
buckwheat. And, friends or iarm im
provements as we are, we must still hope
that the day is not far distant when our
land is so thoroughly improved, that our
farmers can not afford a patch to raise
buckwheat pancakes. We take that all
lack for we hive just remembered that
they can sow good land and raise all the
more !l
The first week in July is the proper
time to tov buckwheat. June sowing
would be best if we could be certain not
to have hot. dry weather, just as it was
filling ; and late sowing is objectionable
because of early frosts. Last year, how
ever, if we remember rightly, the fore
pari of July was very dry, so that buck
wheat came up till about the seventeenth
or eighteenth, and even then, would hare
done very well if frosts had held off as
late as usual in the fall ; therefore, with
a good season, the middle of July might
not be too late to sow.
From the Korth Carolina Planter.
Reproduction bj Propagation.
There are 4 principal modes of repro
duction in propagation, namely : 1. 'Lay
ering. 2. By cutiiDgs. 3. By grafting.
4. By inoculating.
t or-rmtr mnsists in bending down the
branches, limbs, or suckers, without sep
arating them from the parent plant, and
covering them with soil : their extreme
eni3 being lett out. lnus buried, tasy
will gsnsrally strik root ; some particular
trees, however, with extreme difficulty.
Su:h must be tongued an operation that
consists in cutting the layer half off, and
splitting it up an inch or more ; the cleft
to be kept open by a small wedge, and
buried beneath the surface. This oper
ation should be performed in the Sprang:;
and the plant, when well rooted, maybe
separated in the autumn or spring follow
ing. .
By Cuttings. There are many plants
that may be raised from cuttings. For
trees", cuttings should generally be from
eight inches to a foot in length, cut off at
the bottom, close below an eye, and
planted in a. humid soil, two thirds of
their length beneath the surface, and the
ground trodden hard. With some par
ticular kinds, however, it is necessary to
square the bottom of the cutting, and
press it hard down to the bottom of a pot.
Other kinds must be planted in pure
sand, and protected from the sun till it-is
rooted. They require artificial heat in
the soil, and a confined atmosphere, that
moderates their transpiration.
Grafting consists in placing a branch
or twig of one vegetable upon another,
in a way to cause the branch or twig to
produce anew plant, with more valuable
products. The plant grafted upon is cal
led the "stock;" the plant grafted, the
"scion." Grafting is particularly useful
to perpetuate certain vegetables, that are
by nature enilowed with peculiar proper
ties, that would be lost were the plant
continued by means of the seed.
Professor Thouin has described forty
modes of grafting: we will describe but
three cleft grafting, grafting by ap
proach, and root grafting.
Cleft Grafting This mode of graft
ing i usually practised on stocks of from
one to two inches in diameter. It is
thu3 performed : The head of the stalk
is cartfully sauvd off, at a part free frum
knots, and the top pared smooth. With
a thin knife, split down the stock through
the center, to the depth of about two inch
es; insert a wedge to keep it open for
the reception of the scion. The scion i3
to be prepared in the form of a wedge,
with an eye, if possible, in the upper
part of the portion thus formed. Per
fect success is the most certain when this
is the case. The scion is now carefullv
inserted, so that the upper bark of the
scion, and the inner bark of the stock,
may both exactly meet. In large stocks,
sometimes four scions are inserted. The
whole is now to be carefully covered
with the grafting clay, except two or three
eyes of each sion.
Grafting by Approach. This is often
resorted to with plants ihat succeed with
difficulty by other modes. The limb or
,limb3 of each plant, which are to be thus
uin.'ted, must be prepared with a long.
slopi'S cut, of several inches, nearly to
the cfcier J an( tne part of each, thus
orepareii are to be brought together and
firrnv secured hy a bandage, so that the
bark shall exact.1 meet on at least one
side ; they are theri covered, at the junc
tion,' -with c.'ay or com" oosition. When a
complete unio.o has tairert place, the trees
are separated with a knife, by cutting off
the scion below the junction, U.nd cutting
off the stock above.
Root Grafting. This operation is of
ten performod on grapevines, just be.'ow
the surface of the earth by the usual mode
of cleft-grafting. It is also performed on
portions df root where suitable stocks are
scarce

wont to sit with me at the twilight hour,
telling me, perchance, a fairy tale, or a
story of children good little children
of the olden time. Sometimes she spoke
to me of the b3tter land our brighter
home bidding me seek it aright. Oh!
at those twilight hours good angehcame
very near us so near I fancied I could
almost hear their singing, almost see
their lovely forms hovering above us-
One evening in the autumn time, my
mother, who had grown pale and thin of
late, sat by the open door, idly, even sady
watching, while day furled her red ban
ners in a soft, purple haze, and thin stars
came out in Heaven's blue vault. Then
she called me to her, asking me which
of all the stars I loved the best. I rais
ed my finger, pointing to the evening s&r
the first to shine when they day has fled.
Aye, love it ever, my child; may it be
truly a light to thee, cheering the dark
hours of hfe, guiding thee at last to thy
mother, and thy heaven.
She passed from earth, my gentle mo
ther. Childhood had for me one great
sorrow, one crushing grief. Everywhere
I missed her who had made existence a
charmed thing to me ; but nowhere, and
at no time, did I so sorrow for her loss
as at the twilight hour. . Then would a
desolation come over me, a sense of fear
ful' loneliness At this time I looked upon
my star, pure, bright, and beautiful. The
words of my mother came over my soul
like some forgotton thing, charming its
very sadness, t fancied through the
stars Ae looked upon me, spoke to me,
and her words were peace. A new joy
stole into my sad heart, a trust, a confi
dence. Another spell was thrown around
my star, it had comforted me in sorrow.
A weary way hath been mine since
then, but a holy thing my star hath been
tome. It hath charmed away my sor
row, it hath inspired my soul to high and
holy endeavor.it hath been to me a friend
constant and true. For many years I
have loved it, glimpses of gbry my soul
hath caught whib gazing upon it, aye, it
hath well nigh forgotten earth, its care3
and its sorrows, longing to go thence to
its home, the spirit's home. Oh, more
than prophet or preacher, hath my star
spouen to me ct tne better land. It hath
taught me that away, far away, there k
rest for the troubled soul, there is joy for
tne sorrowing, here is love for the des
olate and uriloved, there is a long home
for the homeless. Thither hath my spirit
turned with, earnest longings, oyous in
the hope that the journey shall be ended
at last; aye, I know that one right holy
stars snail gleam upon a new-made grave.
one morning, God willing, the gates of
neaven shall be opened.that one of earth's
weary ones may enter with rejoicing.

RcadyOIade Yeast.
Perhaps our lady readers may not un
derstand the best method of havin rood
reajy made teast always on hand. We
invariably have bread made from the
yeast cakes prepared as follows ; Put in
to three pints of water a handful cf hops
and nearly a quart of pared potatoes cut
into small pieces. Boil for half an hour
and strain while scalding hot into suffi
cient flour to make a stitf batter. Stir it
well adding one tablespoonfull of yeast
and set it in a warm place to rise.
When light mix it stiff with Indian meal
roll out thin and alt into round or square
peices. Dry these and keep them in a bag
in a dry place. They will remain good
or moaths. liefore using, take one of
these cakes for each medium-sized loaf
soak in warm water till soft, and add a
teaspoonful of soda for three or four
yeast cakes. Add this to the flour with
warm water, and raise in the usual
manner. Some put the light yeast without
adding the Indian meal into close iar s or
ugs, and use as needed. It will not
keep many weeks by this method.
. Liquid Glue.
The following recipe, the discovery cf
a French chemist is selling about thg
country as a secret at various' prices
from one to five dollars. It is a tandy
and valuable composition as it does net
gelatinize nor undergo putrefaction , and
fermentation and become offensive, and
can.be used cold for all necessary pur
poses cf glue in making or mending fur
niture or broken vcssles that are not ex
posed to water. ... - .
Ina wide mouthed bottle dissolve eight
ounces of best glue in a half pint cf water ,
by setting it in a vessel of water and
heating it till dissolved. Then addilow
ly constantly stirring two and a half ounces
of strocg aquafoftis (nitric acid). . :
Keep it well corked and it will bo
ready for use. This is the "Celebrated
Prepared Glue," of which' we hear so

Valuable Wash for Buildings.
I saw an inquiry in the Cultivator a
short time since for a rood whitewash
that would not wash off I send ycu the
following. More than. three years ago
I whitewashed my barn and outbuildings
with it, and they look nearly as well as
when first put on. The receipe was or
rijrinally taken from the National Intel
ligencer. Take half a bushel of 'reck lime slack
it with boiling water; cover it 'durinq- the
process to keep the steam in. Strain
the liquid through a fine sieve and add
to it a peck of salt previously well dissol
ved in warm water three pounds of ground
rice boiled to a thin paste, and stirred in
boiling hot, half a pound of Spanish whit
jn and a pound of clean glue which has
been previously dissolved by soakinrr it
well, and then hanging it over a slow fire
ina small kettle within a large one filled
with water. Add five gallons of hot
water to the mixture, stir it well and let
it stand a few days covered from the
dirt.
It should te put on right hot. For
this purpose it can be kept in a kettle on
a portable furnace. About a pint of
this mixture will cover a square yard on
the outside of a house if properly applied.
It answers as oil paint for wood stone or
brick and is cheaper. It retains its
brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing that will compare with it either
for inside or outside wnlls.
Color may be .put in and made of any
shade you like. Spanish brown stirred
in will make red pink, more or less deep
according to the quantitity. Yellow
ochre stirred in makes yellow-wash but
chrome goes further and makes a color
far prettier. In all these cases the dark
ness of the shades cf course is determined
by the quantity of coloring U3ed.

Transplanting Trees.
If Nurserymen would mark the north

set out to have the tree put in the ground
with its north side to the north in its nat

cause of S3 many transplanted trees dy

Southern States it is too great for that side
of the tree to bear, and therefore it dries
up and decays.
