FARMERS' NOTICE.
Keep yojr children at school, if posii.
lie, and take care riot lo find fault against
the school-master in their presence.
Sonic people are always complaining ot
the school-muster or mistress. Let the
school be ever so well kept, they vjll be
dissatisfied. If your children complain,
ten chances to one they are in the wrong ;
and should you wish to injure litem, you
cannot do it more effectually than to join
with them against their master.
It is lime you should get wood for the
coining year. Ihve your sled in pood
ot tier ; and improve the sledding when
you have it. Keep your cattle well it
is a poor plan that some farmers have, of
starving their cattle in order to sell hay
in the spring. Have you not an oi l horse
which is not worth keeping ? Do not let
another winter find liim on your hands:
give him lo the crows.
It would be well to see about ncUiK
a p.ood supply of fencing stuff. There is
nothing that shows the thrifty farmer to
better advantage than his fences. If your
fences are poor, you hazard the loss of all
your crops.
Is jour threshing done? If so, you
can spend those days which are stormy,
still to advantage. Cet all your farming
tools in order your yokes, bows, axe
helves, shovels, carts, &c kc. A goad
farmer will not find much idle time. Ke
mcnibtr that the hand of diligence dc
fcattth want ; prosperity and success arc
the industrious man's attendants.
sao.WTHiaaTioaiLcizi.TTi..
Mrurt. LJiiurt : A paragraph in your
Gazette of Saturday, on the- subject of
flees, induces me to mention, that an
easier method of gathering honey than
in India, and i more merciful ot.e than
what is generally pursued in this country,
is practised in Germany.. There, this
interesting little insect is cultivated to
great extent, frequently as an amusement,
and very commonly as a source of rtve
nue. Many treatises have been written
on their singular nature, domestic ar
rangements, and the best method of treat
iug them. Perhaps I put some of your
readers in mind of the renowned Baron
Munchausen, when I state lhat in some
parts of Germany they are regularly ta
ken to pasture ! ct such is the fact. I
have seen on the great heath f Lime
burg in the Hanoverian dominions, hun
dreds of hives that were carried there
Horn distant places in the spiir cf the
year, for the bees to pasture on the heath
llowcis; herdsmen attend them ; aid in
! the autumn they ut.e taken home ujjain.
The mode of securing the honey is
this: catly in the fall the bee-father (aft
I the person whj cultivates bees is called)
j am sbotiUers, and which has a wire mask
i ,. . , ... , i ...
j -and in C"ark rainy weather, or early in
the morning or late in the evening, whin
dl the Lees are at home, he turns the
hives upside down a match mado ol diy
herbs, such as rue wrapped in tow and
linen, which burns without Hume and
makes a great smoke, is lighted and the
smoke blown upon the hive, which drives
the bees to ihe lower part of the hive,
and gives him an opportunity of taking
what quantity of honey he thinks they
can spate, leaving a sufficiency for winter
provision. Should it happen lhat the bee
f.ilher tAes loo large a tribute, or that an
early winter prevents the bs.es from re
plenishing their stock as expected they
then are regularly fed with a composition
cunsistitu; of sugar, honey, wine and wa
ter, boiled together, w hich is put in a uu
ccr tindet ihe hive. A OltltMAN.

DESCRIPTIVE.
f Winter Morning Smif in tin- Wcttrrn Cuiihtf;
I Ext rue I from I he Pioneers.")
The lake h id e.' hanged its covering of
unspo'tcd snow, fur it i 'ce of dark kei
that reilccted the rays of the Using sun,
like a polished mirror. The bounds were
clothed in a dress of the same desciip.
tion, but which, dwing to its position,
shone like bright Meel; while the enor
iiious icicles that were pendent from eve
ry roof, caught the brilliant light, appar
ently throw ing it iVont one to the other,
as each glittered on the side ne( to the
luminary, with a golden lustre that mel
ted awav, on its opposite, into the dusky
shades of a back ground. But it was the
appearance of the boundless forests, that
covered the hills, as they rose, in the dis
tance, one over the other, that most attrac
ted the gaze of the spectator. The huge
branches of the pines and hemlocks, on
the western mountains, bent with the
weight of the ice that they supported,
while their summits rose abovt the swell
ing tops of the oaks, beerhes and maples,
like spires of burnished silver issuing from
ebmes of the same material. The limits
of the view in this direction were maikej
by an undulating outline of bright light,
as if. reversing the order of nature, num
berless suns might momentarily be expec
ted lo heave above the western hoiizon-
In the foreground of the picture, alontj
the shores of the Ul.c, and near lo the vil
lagc, each tree seemed studded with dia
monds, that emitted their d mcing rv s, as
the branches waved gently under the. im
pulse of the wind. Kven the tides of the
mountains, whtre the rysof the sun could
not yet fall, were decorated with a glassy
coat, that presented every gradation sf
briilianry, from the First touch of the tu
miliary to the daik foliage of the hrm.ock,
as it glistened through its coat of crystal.
In short, the whole view was one scene cf
(juivcring radi.mcy, aslakr, mountains, vi
latre, and wooc's, each emitted its portion
of lignt, tinged with its peculiar hue, and
varied by its position and its magnitude-
Sir James M'Intosh was to publish, in
London, in the course of the present
month, his lltkiory qf England, continued
from Hume. The highest hop-s are
formed of it in England. . We feel a con
fidmce that it will much surpass any spe
cimen of historical composition publish
ed since the eppearance of the works of
Hume, Robertson and Gibbon. S r James
is one of the most eloquent writers of the
age his genius is eminently philosoph
ical and liberal he has had access to all
the best sources of information adapted
to his purpose he his been long aware
that he was expected to accomplish hi;
task in the most instructive and bnlli.'iit
maimer. Hence we infer that his work
will possess every kind of merit.

INTEIIESIING FACTS.
At the last meeting of the Sheffield
Public Society, the following interr stinr
facts were mentioned. Gih'ion, who in
his celebrated histcry ef tbe Decline and
fall rf the Homm tmpirc, has left ats
imperishable memerial of his enmits to
the gospel, resided many years in itz
eiUtul. where, with the profits of his works,
he purchased a considerable rstate. This
property has dest ended tea tentlrin n,
w ho, out of its rents, expends a large aurti
annually in the promulgation of that very
gospel which his ptedecessor Insidiously
endeavored to undermine, not bavin bid
courage openly to assail it. Von ire
boasted that with one hand he wount ov
erthrow the ediGce of Christianity, which
required the h..nd of twelve Apostles to
build up. At this day, the press whi a
he employed at Fertiey lo print his blas
phemies, is actually emplnvcd at Geneva,
in priming the Holy Scriptures. Thus
the self s;me engine, which he set to
wotk to destroy the credit of the Uible is
engaged in disseminating its truths. It
- --"- I.A fK-S-
I.UM.MU.. kT V ) M.-
the first provi.ional meeting for the re
formation of the Auxiliary Bible Society
at r dinhuvgh, was held in the very room
in which Hume died.
THE BII1LE.
" There are four grand arguments for
the truth of the Biide : The first is the
miracles it records second, the prophe
cies third, the goodness of the doctrino
fourth, the moral character of the pen
men. The miracles flow from diiine
power the prophecies from divine un
del standing and the excellence of the
doctrine from divine goodness.
Procrastination is the very top-stone of
destruction to all good designs; !- it
have no control oicr you ; avoid it as jot!
would a pestilence.
