According to the au thor who lays down the foregoing rules, plough up annually in-autumn, two acres. Let it be cross ploughed, harf rowed highly manured planted with corn orl potatoes,' and WelV tended the loiiowing spring ana - summer. ; xu uie spring!next following, plough it twice, and sow itrwith grain -arid clover. ; In this wary, by keeping the land in rota tion, oneycar under Indian corn or po tatoes) onel year under English grain, and two years under clover, it would product the--most abundant crops and be continually growing better, as the large tap roots of the clover, especially,. would greatly, ameliorate ana enncn the soil. After going through this rou tine several tjmes, the land ( would be in an excellent condition to lay into .grass, thus fb remain til! another por tion of land-could be "treated in the &ame manner! Keening in view these principles every farmer can readily ap ply them to other crops, wnicn it is Jiieretore unnecessary to mention,, (iOOD FOOD FOR MILCH COWS.

Vv- - PLANl'ER. l APPLNES S 'PLEASURE, Happiness and pleasure, are, by some considered, so liearly allied, as to in duce the question' whether thy are not one ana tne same ; , out i tmnK, on ex aminationwe shall find them widely different. 5 Bv pleasure, I mean that peculiar felicitv of the feelings which attends ' the enjoyment of something desirable ; .put as this desirable some thing may be onlv momentary,1 or emi nently haTiardous, a pfecarious" enjoy ment of it may afford pleasure, but be vtry iar irom proaucmg uappiness. lianniness and Dleasure, though dis tinct in themselves are, nevertheless : used to express the same thing. I admit that to be happy is to have pleasure t ;but "r I do not admit- that to have pleasure is to possess 'happiness t h e pnie ma v ricl u d e the o th er j bu tit Ws ndt follow V that;both' are- co-exist- ut,anv more than that the possession of a house should also include; the fur niture." ' j; -.,; The distinction ' between happiness and pleasure has, however, become lost in these degenerate vtimeswheji Jjevery pursuit'is direcfed to arid ends in ihe latter without reference; tde fbrmr The man trfcrfash ion pu rsues happi ness ihevery circle; but he;canriot at tain it: It eludes his vigilance lt'es- capes his grasp he, is, however, con- i tented ; to . embrace vthe shadow for the substance and fancies Himself happy : 1; have seen one of this description ifnake; that H distinction iri! his language which existed not irihis ideas jthus, U he would be happy to haveahe plea sure : ot vour1 comnanv." instead of. " he would be pleased," &c. But as these . aim at elegance and .variety, and (like sorrie of my acquaintancei are anxious to display! their talents in pom posity, we must excuse them tor con- rounding as synonymous, what are dis tinct and independent 5 or at least allow them to use terms without meaning anv thing, for the pleasure they derive in pronouncing them. The, miser fancies he is happy when he has raked together an immense heap 01 treasure 5 out 1 must pronounce him, ' above r all others, f farthest from the tru th ; because he possesses nothing Dut nis ncnes, anu is a beggar in happi ness as well as in pleasure. Ihe studious man fancies himself ; but, alas I he reckons not his anxiety for his future prospects nor his concern at the figure he is destined to make in life, or ne would perceive that from his studies; he derives noth-. ing buf pleasure. ; ltie flttfior-deems himself the hap piest of men, when his writings are well received but, is It not the plea sure he feels from . tickled vanity that renders his feelings tolerable ? Alas ! some malignant critique, may take ad vantage of an agewhen the author is no more, to rail athis productions iEind hiss them to the tomb of the Capulets. . a ne statesman wouia lain persuade himself that he is happy, on ascending a it offi ce of h i gh t ru s t an d honour. B u t there is a i melancholy reflection that attends his self-gratulation, lest henay descend with a rapidity equal to his predecessor,' and be as soon forgotten. ; The Philxsopherf who, if any, might lay the greatest claim to happiness, is yet very far from possessing it. Is there nothing too intricate for solution1 noth ing too mysterious for apprehension ? Yes i A thousand problems to be solv edand much time and labour to be lost . ' j ' - v-v ' . Who then is happy ? I answer He is the happy, man, whose mind, unengrOssed by worldly considerations, is highlv susceptible of religious impressions. ; To meditate on the grandeur of na ture, and to appreciate the science which unfolds her to his view, bnlv as a mean of improvement in better things? ought to be the design of every rat ion -al creature in developing the abstruse ways of Providence, or in, viewing the common revolutions of nature. But in relation to our moral obligations, which undoubtedly must .be regulated by the conceptions we entertain of God how incumbent is it, that every iota of duty should be performed, to induce that freedom and clearness 01 conscience, which stamps its possessor as the hap piest of men. lie, therefore, who is studious in the performance of Jiis so cial and religious duties ' to his Crea tor, and to his fellow creatures,- whethr er as the affluent possessor of Palaces, or the humble tenant of the solitary cot, is no stranger to happiness. . It is not the enjoyment of the world, its riches, 0 its grandeur- no, it is the honestv and sinceritv. of heart, that stamps the happy man 1 Here then lies the distinction, and with Jt vanish the hones off the worldly minded, who may indeed fancy themselves possessed of permanent uappiness 5 out win uj ic end iind it to be fallacious pleasure. WHOLESOMENESS OF WATER. Torerifort mentions a Venetian Con sul who resided ait Smvrna, that lived to the ageof 218 years, that never drank any( thing but water, which is said 10 be the Universal and only liquor of ihe New Zealand era, ' wh6 enjoy the most perfect health, entirely untainted with diseases j hot a single person hav ing been seen by. Captain Cook that had 'any bodily complaint j nor among the numbers that presented theniselves to that navigator was there an ihdivir dual observed who had even the. slight est eruption of the " sk ih; or the ' least mark which , indicated .thatVany hAd formerly existed. I It may be worthy of notice likewise, that two of the most athletic characters of antiquity, and a modern hero, ' whose -intrepidity, .was lorig the admlrationof all Europe, were amongVthe! practical advocates of this wholesome - element; That water is notari : incentive tolyicey like many of the liquors in common use,, and that its yotaries are exeiript from the' dis grace of ebriety, has been observed by Shakespearer--, , ' " Vf ' ' . -? Honest water, t Is too weak to be a sinner ; i -s'; At nc eracii iuu m iiic.ihj.v. The best water is that which is pure. light, and without any particular co lour, taste or 'V smell. AV here 'water $annot be obtained pure from springs, wells, rivers, or lakes, care should be taken to deprive it of its pernicious qualities by boiling, and filtering, but most! effectually by distillation. Any putrid substances in the water may be corrected by the addition of an acid. -Thus, half an ounce of 'allum in pow der, ivill make twelve gallons of cor rupted water pure and transparent in two hours, ;without imparting a sensi ble degree of stringency. Charcoal powder has also been found of great efficacy in checking the putrid tenden cy of water. To the same purpose, vinegar and other strong acids are well adapted. , u j -f SCARCITY OF CAStT. One cause of the many complaints on this subject, may be found out perhaps, ' ' .1 r 11 . ' i dv perusing tne lonowing anecdote : Before- banks were known in Kew-Eng-land, or ere paper money of any kind .was in vogue, there was in Connecticut a cry 6f hard times, ' no money to be got,' Jetfs pe tition the governor and legislature to jnake paper money. One of the greatest advo cates for this scheme, called upon the, gov ernor, when the following' dialogue ensued : Governor.- Well friend, what is your bu siness with me ? - , .-. J Jonathan. Why, may it please your ho nor's excellency 1 times are hard and money scarce, and some on us talk' o' petitioning to have paper money made, so that every body may have enough ont. ; j Gorernor.- But, friend, there is considera ble money in the province now, goldj silver and copper, which you know, is of more so lid value than' any paper whatever. Among others, I have a small sum on hand, and if you are in want, and have anything valuable to sell, I will be a purchaser, . at a .fair price and relieve vqu from your embarrassment. Jonathan O dear your honor, I've noth ing to sell, and scarce' ny thing to keep. . Governor. Well, you look strong St heal thy, and I presume, are willing to work for a living, and I will give you employment, and pay you in solid coin. JonatJidn. Why I work sometimes, but really I can't say I like it. jovemor. ery well, lnen supposing government j should make ever so much mo ney, and! you have neither property nor la bor to give in exchange for it, you would have no way of procuring it But by borrow ing or stealing.. "f 4 . ! . Jonathan By jingo, Mr. Governor, wh en Icome. to think on't, you're above half right. "SAGACITY OF TItE MONKEY. On a shooting party, under the Ba nian tree, one of my friends killed a female monkey, and carried it to his tent, which was soon surrounded by forty or fifty of the tribe, who made a great noise, and in a menacing posture advanced towards it: on presenting his fowling piece, they retreated, and appeared irresolute, but one, which from hisi age and station in the van, seemed the head of the troop, stood Ins ground, chattering and menacing ina furious manner; nor could any efforts less cruel than firing drive him off : he at length approached the tent door; and when finding his threatnings were 01 no avail, he began a lamentable moan ing, and by every token of grief and supplication, - seeineu to neg tne oooy of the deceased : on thisat was given to him, with tender sorrow he took it' up in his arms, embraced it with con jugal affection, and carried.it off with a sort of triumph to his expecting com rades.
