On making Clover Tea and Flax Seed Jelly, and
on the use of theni in rearing calves.
Dear Sir: I most cheerfully com
ply with your requf st, by stating my
mode of preparing fl;ix seed jelly and
clovr tea, viz. : take one part cf flax
seed and five or six parts of water; let
it soak from 12 to 48 hours, according
to the temperature of the weather ;
then boil it for a quarter of an hour,
stirring it to prevent burning keep it
in a cool place, and not more th in will
sufli .e for a week should be made at a
time, in warm weathers
Clover Te i. Cut trie best cured clo
ver hay .hout as fine as common
straw chafF, press it into a kettle ;:nd fill
up with water ; cover and boil half an
hour ; if soaked six or twelve hours,
less boiling will answer. Express as
much of the liquor as possible, arid the
residum will be eaten greedily by store
swine, if mixed with their swill. Un
less the clover was cured with salt (a
method 1 always practise) some should
be put into the kettle, which may
sometimes require to be filled up with
water.
The two Holderness calves, which I
sold and shipped to you in December
last, were weaned when three weeks
old, on flax seed jelly and clover tea ;
new milk was given them till they had
learned to drink ; as much jelly was
mixed with the tea as made it of the
consistence of rich new milk, and oc
casionally skimmed milk was put with
it ; they had as much as they would
drink, night and morning ; and at noon
a feed of clover hay cut into thaflT,
which they eat voraciously. They
were cor.fined in a dark stable well ven
tilated; and littered with clean ctraw ;
fine red tdp hay was rdways in the rack.
Rozven (2d crop) w ould have been bet
ter. These calves, only five months
old when' shipped, were in high con
dition, and their arrival "intolerable
order," altera passage of 22 days in
a most inclement season, on the deck
of a small coaster, denotes a hardihood
which 1 believe they would not have
exhibited if reared in the common
manner, although that property is char
sctciistic of the breed. Indeed, I
view it us n cardinal point in the man
agement of voting calves, to keep them
c .nfined and entirely from grass the
first sejsou : even oi the score of e
conomy, especially if fences are to be
erected ; for it cannot be expected they
will do w ell unless there is a continual j
flush of feed, more of which is de
stroyed than they consume. By run
ning at large besides being exposed to
a scorching sun, and to be tormented
by insects, they often eat, and if they
have access to water, drink to such ex
cess, that they scour, become pot-bellied,
and that desirable point, a straight
barrel, can seldom be restored. By
confining them, winter will make no
change, and of course it will be less
material at what seascn they arc drop
ped. It would be advisable, generally, to
scald a little meal, and mix it with
the cut clover, but in the instance a
bove related, I wished to try the effect
without.

"Time obliterates the fictions of opinion, and
confirms the decisions of nature." Cicerc.
Whoever reflects on the rise and pro
gress of the Christian religion, must ac
knowledge that the motto we have quoted
from the Roman orator, the man whose
fame has survived his country, applies
with wonderful, if not peculiar force, to
that divine system. Jesus came not only
to a benighted, but tc a jealous, suspicious,
doubting, cavilling race. But he came
from the Great Author of all things, whose,
decrees arc neither to be evaded nor rc-
sisted ; and he came clothed in a mission
worthy only of God the Father for its au
thor, and God the Son for its agent: As
his mission was divine, so his kingdom,
as he declared, was not of this world, not
temporal, but eternal. It was a mission
of grace i and a kingdom of spiritual pow
er, to be consummated and established by
an ignominious death, and a glorious res
urrection, that God might be consistent
with himself, and man be redeemed from
the thraldom of Adam's transgression.
But what was the reception of this divine
messenger of his own self-sought propi
tiation, and Gods redeeming love ? Open
the volume of eternal t nitty and it will
tell you : It will shew you all that he did,
that his Father's will might be accom
plished ; all that he suffered, that you
might he saved. Then shut the book,
and silently contemplate, how wonderful
ly that book has been preserved, amidst
the enemies of the faith, and through the
desolations of the dark ages ; and how
widely it has since been extended, in cir
culation, even to the ends of the earth.
Reflect not only upon the preservation of
the book, through so many vicissitudes of
times and manners ; through all the rava-'
ges of the Goths and Vandals,:and all the
bloody and barbarous revolutions the world
has witnessed, since that book was written ;
but reflect, too upon the sufferings of its
advocates and inspired authors, the perils
they encountered, the persecutions they
sustained. " We are troubled (says the
apostle Paul) " on every side, yet not dis
tressed ; we are perplexed, but not in de
spair ; persecuted, but not forsaken ; cast
down, but not destroyed." Destroyed !
how indeed could they be destroyed, when
"the gates of hell shall not prevail" a
gainst the cause in which they suffered so
gloriously ! The apostle is here descri
bing the dangers that then encompassed
the disciples of our Saviour in general.
Hut when we attend to the glowing de
scription of his own sufferings, who can
contemplate the Saint, surrounded by so
many appalling circumstances, and yet
preserving such god-like firmness and
fortitude, but with indescribable emotions,
and a wish that they might have been par
takers of his toils and dangers, the com
panions of his glory, as well as professors
of his faith. " Of the Jews (says he) five
times received I forty stiipes, save one.
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was
I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck ;
a night and a day I have been in the deep :
In journeyings often, in perils of waters,
in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own
countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in
perils in the city, in perils in the wilder
ness, in perils in the sea, in perils among
false brethren : In weariness and painfull
ness, in watchings often, in hunger and
thirst ; in fastings often, in cold and na
kedness." What but divine inspiration
could have animated Paul, and his breth
ren of the cross, to endure such hardships ?
Yrhat but the presence of Gcd could have
carried them through all they suffered
themselves ? What but the influence of
his holy spirit could have sustained them,
when they contemplated not only their
own perils, but those of their divine mas
ter, till they witnessed his mock convic
tion as an impostor by a bigotted, bloody- i
minded tribunal, and his final crucifixion j
between two thieves, two of the meanest
malefactors ! Look at this brief portrait
of Christianity eighteen hundred years
ago. Behold, through the vista cf ages,
marked by desolation, crimsoned with
blood, smoking with the ruins of cities,
darkened by the decline and fall, and en
livened by the rise and progress of -mighty
empires I Behold, we say, through all
this mist, and gloom, and glory, the re
fulgence of the Saviour's love, when ex
piring on the cross ; and behold the perils
endured by his faithful followers, sooner
than betray their master, cr renounce his
faith. Peter it is true denied, and Judas
betrayed. But these were solitary deeds
of timidity cn the one hand and treachery
on the other, compared with the firmness
and constancy of thousands who followed
with the tears of faith and gratitude, the
steps of their Redeemer to the blood
stained summit of Calvary, and the gloomy
shades of Gethsemane !
But without following in detail, the pro
gress of Christianity, through a succes
sion of eighteen hundred years, who that
reflects upon the events ol the present
age, can doubt its divine origin, or its fi
nal triumph overall heresies and its uni
versal empire; To pass over events, ori
ginating and terminating in Europe, Asia
and Africa ; have we not, in this new
world, seen a wilderness, covering a vast
continent rescued in a great measure
from the hands of barbarians and heath
ens, and enlivened by the mild arts of civ
ilization, and the divine light of the gos
pel. On this vast continent, are not the
heathen tribes or nations daily diminish
ing, and the believers in Christianity in
creasing, with a rapidity unparalleled in
the history of population ? And although
many evils apparently attend the diminu
tion of driving out of the savages, from
post to post ; yet no one can doubt, that
God, in his all-wise Providence, will finally
over-rule ail for good, both to the believ
ing invader, and the unbelieving exile or
wanderer. Again, Jiave we not beheld,
from this vast scene of woods and wilds,
now converted into fertile and fruitful
fields, populous and thriving villages, and
wealthy, flourishing, and splendid com
mercial cities, the word of God sent forth
by missionaries to the remotest regions,
in every direction, till nearly all nations
have witnessed the exertions of our In
fant Republic, to extend the boundaries
and the blessings of the Redeemer's king
dom ? But let us hot lose sight of our
wonted brevity. It iscertain that Nature,
as dcero termed the Divine Power, has
decreed the final triumph and universal
reign of that gospel which has had to
struggle against so much diversity of
opinion : And " time, which obliterates the
Jictiona of opinion, confirms the decisions
of NATURE."

The Whooping Cough cured by Vaccination.
Influenced by motives of humanity for a large
and peculiarly interesting class of our communi
ty, who are now laboring under Whoopirg
Cough, I am induced to communicate the follow
ing, on the influence of Vaccination, in mitigating
and finally removing the most tormenting disease?
of infantile nature; If parents and guardians will
avail themselves of the practice recommended.,
I can assure them the result will be satisfactory
and fully proved by experience. 31.
That experienced and able physician, John
Archer, M. D. cf Harford county, in Maryland,
writes to his friend, Dr. Mitchell, of New-York ;
NOVEMBER 15, 1808.
u Yoii may recollect that three or four
years ago I mentioned to you, that it was
my opinion that vaccination would cure;
the Tussus Convulsiva ; that I had made
one experiment, and that it succeeded ful
ly to my expectations.-' I mentioned the
case to several physicians, and requested
their making a trial of its effects, when
they should have any patients with whooping-cough.
The benificial effects of vac
cination above mentioned, determined me,
in every instance that occurred of the
whooping-cough, to vaccinate I there
fore have vaccinated six or eight patients
that had the whooping-cough, and in eve
ry case it has succeeded in curing this
most distressing disease.
The whooping-cough does not come tc
its height in less than six weeks from its
commencement, and then, when a favor
able termination is expected, the declen
sion of the disease is gradual, and does not
terminate in less than six weeks more.
To arrest this afflicting disorder in its pro
gress, I would recommend vaccination in
the second or third week of the whooping
cough, i. e. when the symptoms of the
whooping-cough are fully ascertained,
then to vaccinate. Should the convulsive
cough be violent, I should immediate1'
vaccinate ; being well assured that the dis
tressing svmntoms of the whoonincr-ccuh.
are cnecKea Dy vaccine aiseabe. i n.ur.-
1 1 1 l' 'l l a .
mination of the vaccine disease will tie the
termination of the whooping-cough; that
is, as soon as the vaccinated part loses the
efflorescence, and the scab begins to dry
and becomes of a bluish or brownish co
lour, there will then be an evident change
in the whooping-cough "for the better, and
the severe svmntoms will cease. i-
Thus, of two formidable diseases, to
which the human race are liable, the
Small Pox and Vhooping-Cough,thc firs?
is prevented, and the latter is cured.
