Value of Time. 



Sir Walter Scott, t^ays— "Our time is like our 

 money ; when we change a guinea the shillings 

 escape as things of small account; when we break 

 a day, by idleness in the morning, the rest ot ttie 

 hours lose their importance in our eye. ' 



Baden Corn. 



The following statement in regard to this corn 

 has been politely handed to us by Peter A. Brown, 

 Esq., of this city, to whom it was addressed. 



Philadelphia Feb. 3. 1838. 



Dear Sir, — The few grains of Baden Corn which 

 you "^.ave me last spring 1 had planted in the back 

 part'^of my garden; the stalks averaged about 

 fourteen feet in height One stalk had four larsre 

 ears and one small one on it : a number of tlw 

 other stalks had ibur ears on each, and the let-t 

 had some three and some two ears on each, 



Respectfully, B. JNEWCOMB. 



The Baden Corn answers very well in tlie 

 Southern States— it is very productive we under- 

 stand, but requires a long season. It is understood 

 .iot to be well adapted to our climate.
