TIME TO CUT WHEAT. The proper time to cut, is, when the ttem, sleep, when John Van Cleef, who, seated in his skiff, with Ids head without the cave, had overheard the whole conversation, floated si-! lently down with the tide, keeping close in the deep shadow of the bank, landed a short distance below the soldiers.

About a quarter of a mile below the city of New Brunswick, on thebold, precipitous southern bank of the Raritan, is a singularly inter-pstinix cave. The entrance, which is just at hirh water mark, is small and narrow, and the two perpendicular rocks which, on either side support the hill, appear to have been forced asunder by some violent convulsion of nature. The cave itself has the appearance of having hn vravated bv human hands, although it is doubtless the result of the continued action of the water. The roof is formed of the soft red rock, through which the water is constantly its dimensions are, as nearly as I can recollect, about twelve feet long by five feet wide. Years ago, before the deposit of sand which forms the floor had accumulated, the river, at high tide, flowed in and filled the cave to the depth of several feet, forming a snug hiding-place and safe harbor; and, if tradition speak truly, the tiny bark of the dusky Indian, and the light canoe of the painted warrior has often sought its friendly shelter.

Not alone to the poor Indian has it afforded a secure retreat, for at the period at which we write, although its existence was not generally known, it was occupied upon various occasions by the persecuted patriots. The hill above, which slopes gradually to the brink of the precipice, was covered (as it still is) with a dense growth of cedar, white pine, and dog-wood and in many places, the surface, entirely free from underbrush, was carpeted with a deep green sward. The fine view afforded by the elevation, the shady dells and deep defiles, combined with the wildness of scenery with which Nature has so lavishly endowed it, rendered this spot, as well as many others in its immediate vicinity, beautifully and strikingly romantic. During the greater part of the Revolution, this section of the State, being near the seaboard, was in possession of the British; several skirmishes took place near the edge of the wood, a short distance from the river, and Colonel Simcoe received a serious wound within a few rods of the bank. 'Twas the evening of a in the month of June, 1777.

The sun had already sunk behind the thick forest trees, their bright foliage still gilded by his lingering rays, and their huge tops standing out in bold contrast atrainst the glowing sky. As the shades of twilight gathered o'er the placid bosom of the waters, a light skiff, propelled by a single paddle, silently approached the southern shore, a short distance below the cave. As it touched the bank, a tall, stout, and handsomely formed youth stepped lightly upon the shore, and was about to secure his little craft to a projecting root, when the approaching tramp of horses was heard in the distance quickly he sprung back into his fragile barque, and guiding it with all the dexterity and silent caution of an Indian, directed his course toward the cave. In a few minutes he had reached the entrance, and the skiff, with its living freight, was soon hidden from view. At the same moment a company of British dragoons rode up to the bank above, and dismounting, they picqueted their horses, threw their arms upon the grass, and commenced their preparations for a bivouac.

After building a fire, and taking a careless survey of the ground, they opened their haversacks and commenced their evening meal, ror some the silence was only broken by an occa-1 sional and unimportant remark, until their hnn- put requisi-1 tion, and growing warm by their potations, they became quite boisterous in their mirth; one boasted of his many exploits and hair- breadth escapes another related legends ot a soldier's love, a third, with bold, martial song, waked the slumbering echoes, and frightened the nifht birds from their perch. At length, wearied by their hilarious efforts, and their canteens ncarij eu.pi.cu, iwu. turned upon the business ot the following day.

He had resolved to humble the proud beauty, and to accomplish that he proposed to his troop, that they should asist him in bearing her from herhome "Old Demarest," said he, "is rich, and his cellar is well stocked with rare old wines; his money and his wines shall be your share of thc booty I will content myself with the charms of his pretty daughter.

What say you, my lads? You take the gold, and ran sack the cellar, and I'll bear away the haughty I Mary 1- I just below the head, becomes dry, and the source of nutritive supply irom the roots 19 thereby cut off. By waiting until the entire stem is dry, great losses are sustained from shattering, while, on the other hand, no advantage is to be derived to the kernels. That this the case, is so obvious, that we need scarcely illustrate it by argument, and will content ourselves by remarking, that when the extremity of the stem becomes arid, the circulation from below is arrested in its course, and the process of nutrition cannot be carried on, as at that point the conduit is literally cut off. It is worthy of observation, that wheat when cut before it becomes dead ripe, yields a heavier grain and whiter and more productive flout than when harvested at a later period. What we mean by more productive flour, is this, that will take more water, and, consequently, make more bread, pound of flour for pound ot flour, and hence, is better for the baker.

By cutting wheat at the period we have named, the straw is infinitely better adapted to the purpose of feeding, much of its nutriment properties being retained, which, when cut at a later period, would be lost by evaporation. We would iterate our advice, that all possible care be taken to protect the grain and straw, after it is down, from the influence of the weather, as we know from experience, that neglect at this period is calculated to impair the sightly appearance, as well as market value 01 uie grain. In stacking, let the utmost care be taken to exclude the possibility of injury from the rains, and to ensure this, each stack should be capped, so as to turn the rain. And we would here remark, that, while every operation of the harvest is going on, the master's presence is indispensably necessary that, though he may not labor himself, his presence will tend to make his hands do their work in the way that it should be done. The best of hands, if not closely superintended by those whose interest is at stake, will, without intending it, alight their work, and inflict injuries without designing them.

Unfortunately, it is in the natrre of most men to act thus, and although we would not punish a natural fault, we certainly would so act as to ensure against it. Bear in mind, that he who encounters the toil and expense necessary to make a crop, rests under a high, moral obligation to preserve it from going to waste. LAC KB ERR SYRUP.

In digging yesterday among the foundations of Grace Church, at the corner of Broadway and Rector street, which has recently been pulled down, a coffin, apparently of silver, was discovered, about two feet and a half in length, containing thc body of a female child, with an inscription bearing date 1767. The coffin had a glass over the face, and a little further dowu on the coffin a looking glass set in the metal.

Near the foot of the coffin was an aperture closed by a glass stopper, which being opened, it appeared that the coffin was filled with spirits of turpentine, in which the body was preserved, so that the features, though somewhat collapsed, were seen through the glass. The whole was enclosed in a strong deal outer coffin. N. Y. Eve.

Post. Here is a combination of the brief and affectionate worthy of imitation perhaps. It is in the shape of an epistle from anice young student lo his father, who receives it periodically: Dear Captain. The Term is drawing to an apex; send on the rocks. Yours, Speculation.

He delayed 'but a moment to examine the priming of his rifle, and to form an estimate of the number of the troops, and then, borne upon the wings of anxious love, hurried across the country, and soon reached the house of his father-in-law elect, which was about three miles from Bruns-' wick, a short distance from George's road." Here he unfolded the whole plot, and old De-, marest, a true patriot, armed himself, his two sons, and three negro men, and resolved to defend his family altar to the last; and Van Cleef swore to live or die with his betrothed. for defence, when the party arrived and deman-' ded instant admittance, and a shelter for the night, which was flatly refused. The demand was repeated, accompanied by a threat of vio- lence if their requests were not instantly acced ed to. Their answer was a shout of defiance from those within, and a warning to retire or suffer the consequences of an attack. The soldiers laughed at the warning, and one of them, who attempted to force the door, was shot through the head by one of the negroes.

This somewhat dampened the ardor of the soldiers, who had expected to meet with no resistance but as the plunder was too valuable to be abandoned without an effort, they began their assault in earnest, and after losing two more of their number, succeeded in forcing the door of the kitchen and effecting an entrance; but the family had retreated to an inner room, and havino- barricaded the door, all their efforts to force it were fruitless. After deliberating a few moments, two of the soldiers went out and returned with a fence rail, with which they soon battered down the door, receiving, as it fell, the fire of the party within, which did much execution. A desperate hand to hand encounter ensued, in which one of the negroes was killed out-right, and all of the heroic defenders wounded more or less severely, except one of the brothers. The soldiers fought furiously fired by the hope of booty, and burning to avenge their comrades, their attack was most impetuous; and the besieged family, battling for their lives, their property, and those who were dearer far than life or property, met their foes with unflinching bravery. Van Cleef, although bleeding profusely from a sabre cut across his forehead, wielded his weapon with almost superhuman energy, dealing deadly blows at every sweep, and contesting every inch of space with the maddened assailants.

The tide was turning in favor of the dragoons, when the officer springing forward to seize the girl, who had swooned from fright, allowed himself to be thrown off his guard, and received a tremendous blow from Van CleePs rifle-butt, which crushed his skull and dashed him to the floor, a lifeless and bloody corpse. Dismayed by the death of their leader, the dragoons fled, leaving nine of their number dead upon the spot. All the Demarest family recovered from their wounds, and Van Cleef, ns soon as peace declared, was rewarded with the hand he so v- Cai IOrCC 01 U1C vuei inuuiy iu j.i vl 1 1 A STORY FOR BOYS. one Qn thdr from nain.r -1 rom-field wefe some full 0f tn Thnm tj L.r some nlums nobodv will ug We can scud along through the tall come Qut safe on the othfir sidc Thomag said Itis wron I do not like to the nlums than wU1 ranai0nghome."

Observing a woman approaching, he civily requested her to lend him a helping hand out of his disagreeable situation; but she, casting one hurried glance at his abbreviated figure, passed on without regarding his request, He shouted lustily after her; and she was at last prevailed upon by his cries to approach. "Are na ye Hume the Deist?" inquired she in tone which implied that an answer in the affirmative would decide her against lending him her assistance.

"As for me," said the blonde Duchess de Nemours, I am the wife of the future Regent of France, and since the widowed Duchess of Orleans does not mix in our circle, take her place as the wife of the eldest son." The Queen was called in to settle the discussion, and got very angry, and Louis Philippe, at last, was obliged to resort to his usual mode of settling his family quarrels crossing his hands behind his back, and striding up and down the room, singing Dixit Dominus Domino, from the Latin Prayer book.

fj-A morose looking man was yesterday brought before the Recorder for beating his wife, who has, or rather has had, the very tongue of a termagant. The watchman described the woman as unable to speak at the time he arrested the prisoner, so severe was the beating she had just received.

"This is the sentence of the Court, is it?" said Edwards. It is," said the Recorder. Then I protest against it," said Edwards.
