There are few sciences the tudy of which more useful to the farmer than that, of Meteorology. A soil inay'contain all the jioiiis required to form a luxuriant crop, yel, if the temperature of the ground, or of the ,ir above it, be too low, veqetation makes no nro"feS'- Again, the earth and atmosphere nay have a due degree of warmth and light, at well as abound in all the food of plants in 411 available form except trerfVr, and the ab sence of this clement will be fatal to the bones of the husbandman. Atmospheric air, light, heat, electricity, rain, dew, snow and frost, exert a control- r influence over the growth of all culti- Mted plants. A knowledge of the natural laws bv which these generally inTisible and iporrdsraUe bodies c-governed, so lar-aa n-searencs nave - uablc and interesting. The atmosphere and i be numerous phenomena of which it is the theatre, should command more attention in it is country thnn they hitherto have received ,f we intend to keep pace with the progress of physical science in Europe. To encour 4.r,i the study of meteorology in its applica tion to agriculture is the object of this chap ter. Th; atmosphere 13 mainly composed of! io distinct gises, which are invisible but not imponderable bodies, and every where irrouiHi the planet like an ocean. It lias a mean depth of some forty-five miles. J he gist s which form the air are called nitrogen m. J eiv?"ii- According to the accurate an- alvsis ul dry, pure air, made by MM. Du- j in is and Bjussinganlt, 1U0 parts consist ot V).3 oxvgen and 79.2 nitrogen. These I rht-inists lound from 2 to 5 parts of carbon-! icacid in 10,00'J of atmospheric air. Dr. j -Wi...n has ascertained that the nropor- lio:i of ammonia in the atmosphere is as 1 to I . - ., . . ' , 2,000,000, varying to 1 to 3,000,000. Un doubtedly there are many other volatile and jaeoiis bodies in the atmosphere, in a state .) extremi ty diluted and diuused as Ui es- :npe all chemical tests. Sir Robert Kane ou-.d that sulphuretted hydrogen will pass hrough a thin piece of India rubber into lie atmosphere, against a pressure equal to 50 times the weight of common air. Gase ous compounds of phosphorus, chlorine, and sulphur, are constantly discharged from de- caving animal anu vegeiaoie suosianccs in to the atmosphere. These "rases fall to the earth again in rain-water. It is one of the peculiar to all gases, thai the presence I one in any given space does not in the east prevent several others from occupying .he vacancies left between atoms of gas that i'tni to repel each olhir with singular aver i'on. Tim facility with which the atmos "aere takes up vapor when water evaporates, l familiar to all.

But the filling of the air with atcr, hke a wet sponge, is less remarkable i!u;i ihe contrivance (or squeezing the sponge, so lo speak, anf causing the diffused mois ture to fall in gentle rains, snows, and dews.

Kays that strike the atmosphere at an angle of only 25 part wilh liail "their intensity, or heal, by the time they I! touch ilie cround. The molecules of air ab- i3rl and radiate heat into space, the same as oilier ponderable bodies. Hence, no matter now clear ihe atmosphere, neither the rising nor the setting sun imparts so much light or heat lo those parts of the earth so afTected as ttKv reeeive when the sun is at ll e meridian. The effect of solar rays on the earth is still further diminished morning and evening, by tin: fact that fewer fall on any given area, be cause they impinge upon its surface oblique ly. Que can look at the selling aun with impunity, not because it emits less heat or hsilit at that time, but because the rays arc mostly absorbed and radiated in passing i!in'j"h many miles of aimosphere before tliy reach the eye of the observer. The facility wilh which solar heat pene trates and warms the soil, lo the depth of 6, 12, 18, and 24 inches, and tha radiation of heal from the earth, the leaves oi plants, and H other substances, destnc particular no. lice. A distinction must be made between the .radiation of heat from the surface of anv body, and ihe transmission of it through any subsiance, as iron, wood, water, mold or soil. And these hold different relations to this pe culiar cement. It is not intended lo lake more than a popular view of this subject. At the lime of seeding in spring, a single day is sufficient to warm to the depth of 4 inches, a mellow soil, recently ploughed. Two days of sun will warm the cround 6 inches : and six davs 12 inches. The fall of warm rain yon a well drained, mellow soil, greatly has tens the heating of the earth. On the con. trary, the fall of s cold rain, or much cold wa ter in the ground, greatly retards the rise of temperature in tilled land. Heat and water should be studied together, if one would ob tain a clear idea of their joint influence on vegetation. When water evaporates, it ex pands to 1,696 times its former volume, and renders latent, or insensible, a considerable amount of active heat. Hence, a wet piece of ground, from the surface of which a rood ',del of water evaporates, ia always cooled by LI, lhe(etfMii(tMff61ieat which rises in vapor and departs Tar into atmosphere. ' 'ft.- - . , . r ' Tbe-wartnerrhe atmosphere, the greater is ms capacity to Hold -water in the condition of a diffused invisible vapor. The lower stra ta of air are heated much more by caloric ra diated from the earth than b,y the Absorption of. heat from the sun in its. passage to the planet. Air thus heated becomes expanded or rarified, and specifically lighter than the Colder air above it. This causes the air with, in and near the tropics to rise high above the surface of the earth, and flow over both north and south, toward either pole ; while colder and heavier air rushes in toward the equator to fill the empty space. These aerial cur rents aro deflected in their courses by the di urnal revolution of the earth, and by moun tain ranges whose summits arc often covered with eternal snow; and they are still further modified by the varying temperature of the ocean and its peculiar streams. - Heat and water are the fruitful parents of wintfsand clouds. When aqueous vapor is pre cipitated in rsin or enow, beat that was latent be comes again sensible, and by increasing the ca pacity of the air to hold water in the form of vapor, prevents a disastrous de!cgi of this abun dant element in nature. The laws which rent rain the precipitation of water from the clouds are no less curious than those which cause it to rain at all. The atmosphere must approach saturation before it can rain ; and it usually happens that the quantities which will fall on given area, one hundred feet above the ground, and on the earth, are unequal. Irge drops, in falling thro many feel of dry air, become smaller by constant evaporation, and may bs wholly dissipated be fore they reach the earth. On the other hand, quite small drops formed in rold regions, high ii! the air, constant ly condense more vapor in fall ing through a saturated atmosphere, and will be many times larger when they reach the gruud than ot their starling point. 1 o i.Iustrate the product n of rin, let us sup- pose that a current of air at 70 temperature, saturated with moisture, meet and mingles with j another current, also saturated, but having a heat , of 5U. Now, if ihe atmosphere at the mean j temperature of G0 had a capacity to hold wa- . LerJ45 a" " I" me vapor, equal io ine mean ui , 71U nd oO- it is obvious lhat do precipitation ! would lake place. But it is not the fact. The I quamiiy of water held in air heated from 60 in 70 cannot be contained in that heated from 50 0(j. In other words, hate ver cools air sat ura ted with moisture, causes a cloud, dew, mist, or rain. Early and late frosts are produced by 'he ra diation of boat during clear nigh's from the foliage of plants, ii I other terrestrial bodies. It the tern perature of ihe air is not very low at sundown, 1 and is humid, vegetation will so soon reach the d lepoint, that the latent heat, evolved by the forma' ion of much dew, will prevent a frost. If the atmosphere is dry, clear, and still, the devr point is lower, and all ihe circumstances are fa vorab!e lo freeze the little vapor, condensed on such substance as radiate heat with the greatest facility. Any thing which checks the radiation of heat, like a cloud, smoke, screen, or wind which agitates the atmosphere, serves to prevent frost. Every farmer should have a thermometer and rain-gauge, and know the degree of heat most favorable to all his crops. The dew tempcuture and moisture of the soil are as much elements of production and profit, as good manure and skilful tillage. The writer has studied the growth of r.urn in" different months, noting the changes from 4 o'c lock, a m. to in ; from noon tod p. m.; and from 8 p. m. to 4 a. in. When the temperature is favorable, corn grows as much per hour u ihe night as in the daytime. No agriculturist i. so far advanced in the science of climatology, as to make all lhat ran be made of ihe water, solar light and heat, which nature so bountifully -supplier. There is no State in ihe Unit n where the mean temperature of summer is too low to ripen maize, or corn, as is ihe cafe in England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Humboldt remarks; ' In felling trcod which cover i lie crowns and slopes ol mountains, men io all climves seem to be b-nging on future fenerations twocalamitics at once a want of fuel and a scarcity of water. (Ilumbolt vol. v page 173.) The waste of valuable timber in thej. ni . ted StatfS, to say nothing of firewood, will hardly begin to be appneiated uniil our population reaches fifty millions. Then the folly and short sightedness of this age will meet with a degree of censure and reproach, not pleasant to comerrj plate. Different plants require unlike degreea of heat and light lo bring them to maturity. The potato will produce an edible tuber at a mean tempera ture so low that neither its own seeds nor three of any cereal can be formed. Bussingault found them cultivated in South America at an eleva tion having a mean heat so low as 49. requiring eleven months in which to grow, or 335 days be tween the planting and digging. In many parts of this country persons begin to di potatoes in seventy days from Ihe planting; and potatoes planted the 1st of May will be ripe by the 1st of August. In some ot the southern btaies they grow best in the winter season. Winter barley and rye will mature their seeds at a lower tetn peraturcthan wheit. Humboldt found at Jakouctk, in high Central Asia, where the eartn was con stantly frozen at the depth of three feel below the surface, both rye and wheat yielding a return sometimes of 15 lo 1 of seed. At that place the mercury is frozen two months in the rear the cold being over T2 below freezing. Short as the summers are, the? have a mean temperature of 64. On the northern slope of Monte Rosa, in Swit zerland, barley ceases to grow at an elevation of 4.260 feet above the sea ;on the southern side it continues to be cultivated at the height of about 6,560 feet, Ea jssingault says thai the difference ascribed to local causer. In stadying the mean temperaturo and annu al fall of rain, including snow and dew, in the U nited States, and the distribution of both heat and water through the year, one can hardly escape the conviction that no other equal area on the globe has equal agricultural capabilities. With out includinsr Delawsre, there sre within a frac t:on of 600,000,000 acres in the southern Statee. On two-thirds of this vast surface, wheat is har vested early enough in May and Jone to permit a rroi of corn to mature on the same Iscd before autumn frosts. By drawing a line from the At lantic due West to the Rin Grande, so as to hare 300.000100 seres south of it, on everv arable a ere two crops of our most valuable breadstuff can be harvested in a year. Allow one-third of this area for forests, the bed of rivers, and ir reclaimable surface, and there are left 200,000, 000 seres for cultivation. . On the supposition thai tbe South had a population adeqoate'lo de mand sueh crops, 100,000.000 seres might be drilled with w best seed in November sfter corn harvest, potting half -lbs needful fertilizers ia VULUME 1 with the -seedY and lowing the balance broadcast in tieornary or March, after the English and Bel- S'an Prctice VVuh skilful culture and feeding, an average return of 20 bushels per acre may reasonably be expected, producing an agfregate crop of 2,000 000,000of bushels. This crop would be harvest ed between the 15 h of May and the 15th of June after which a crop of corn may be grown. With a dene population, as fn Belguim, France and m-my parts of China, there can never be a real lack of fertilizers, so that 60 bushels of corn can be produced on every acre of surface in our thir ty States. By this estimate it is seen that the same land which had produced 2.000,000,000 bushels of whea', might so far as the climate is concerned, easily yield 6,000,000,000 bushels of corn in season to seed with wheat again. Gov. Hammond, of South Carolina, estimates the present capacity of ihe elaveholding States as equal to the support of 200,000,000 of inhabitants. To give Virginia as dense a population ns Bel guim hs, (which exports far more of human food than Virginia doep,) would require all ihe people now living in the United Slates to reside in the ' Ancient Dominion.' Of the other 100.000,000 acres of arable soil, one half iruy.be planted in cotton, and enriched no more than to give an average of a bale of 400 lbs. to the acre. This will secure an annual crop twenty times larger man the consumption of the whole human family. There will still remain 50,000.000 acres adapted to the culture of sugar-cane, rice, tobacco, aud other important sta ples. The United States possess a territory embra cing over 2.0(H) millions of acres, more than a moiety of which id susceptible of tillage. Taken as a whole, the country has a climate whose mean temperature and fall of rain greatly favor the pro duction of human food and clothing.

THIS Essence is a preparation of unusual excel lence and of varied properties. In all cases where a powerful and safe stimulant is required, it is unrivalled for efficacy as well as immediate action. To tbe traveler and to the family Cirele it is in valuable, as a few drops diluted in sugar and water presents a safe and sgreeabie remedy to tne invalid who requires immediate relief, as well as to the convalescing patient who needs a gentle tonic. In a southern climate, where the relaxation of the sys tem so generally induces thirst for stimulants, it will always be found an excellent substitute for those tempting beverages which debilitate the stomach and cause a morbid condition of its powers.

I dreamed thai her favoring glances fell On a well-dressed Beau at ber side, And I rould'nl tell why- the laugbiug Belle, Had refused to become my bride. But a single glance at my rival's Coal, Told me there lay the strength of the game ; And I said if the Tailor' in Town who can doit. I'll have one exactly the same. Then I dreamed lhat 1 searched the Town all o'er, For the gem lhat would win her I, cart. Till I found nut-ell standing in front jf the Store Where clothing io fai-hioned hy art; And then I remembered that this was the place Where the Coal of my rival was made, And entering in, right brfois my lace, Lay a Broad-Cloth, exactly the vhadc. Tlii- t'ual was sent home, and like Caesar I fped, I came, and I aaw, and I won. For she smilingly said, when I staked jer to wed, "What ail elegant Coal you have on " Three days from that lime, perhaps il was moie, 1 induced her to alter her name ; A pd I still buy my Co us at the very same Slore, And bhe loves me as ever the Fame.
