THE AMERICAN FARMER.
YE Farmers, who toil and who labour, to crown
Columbia's rich fields in the pride ot renown ;
A world is your own and yours 'tis to hand,
The highland freest in Freedom's fair lane.
Rife anew with each morn, ye favor'd of men,
Recount to your children what wonders nave
been:
How liberty call'd ; and how you obey dj
How you fought in her cause, and how were
- repaid-;
How Britain was humbled and tyrants difinayjj,
Till peace spread her banners, and liberty (way d:
This done? quick inform the young infant to tell
How flourish each fcience —the arts how excel ;
How each far diftent clime our commerce may
bail ;
How home manufactures ircreafe and prevail ;
But, chiefeft ot all, how the land interest claims
Superior merit —Superior names.
From yonr Ration on high, one moment look
On myriads of wretches that grovel around ;
Survey the wide world, and yourfebes you will
The wisest and happiest of all human kind.
To Afric's broad zone turn the wings of the mind,
Traverse regions unknown and nations unnam'd ;
No tribe will you envy, no region admire;
Her funs are in bondage, her defects on tire.
Or fly to fam'd Asia, and there you will hear
Oppression's loud clangor, hoarse grating the ear ;
While her vail crowded realms, united, will Ihow,
That life's little profped is Shrouded in woe. °
Or haste to proud Europe, her kingdoms explore ;
Mark themyriads that Starve, the kings they adore;
And e'en Europe herfelf this truth must declare,
That Owes aw'd by despots, herd constantly there.
fa;feufled with tyrants, difaulted with flares,
Extend fancy's pinions, and mount o'er the waves
To your own native climes ; for there you will
find
The wifell and happiest of all human kind.
Thus highly exalted, ye Farmers, implore
The GOD of the Ikies, and his mercy adore ;
To ages unborn be to virtue inclin'd,
The wifefl and happiest of all human kind.
AGRICULTURAL.
Farmers prepare to prune your orchards.
A SEASONABLE EXTRACT.
ANY time in the month of March is a proper sea
son to prune your trees ; mind nothing about the
moon, for die concerns herfelf little about you or
your trees, and the sign is always in the right place
when it makes you indufirious. There is no part
of a farm which yields so great profit and so little
labour, as a well cultivated orchard.
Young trees require to be pruned every year
as much as the old. You mould never Suffer a
fucker to remain near the root, from one year to
another, nor by any means upon the body or trunk,
which you do not intend (hall be permanent.
In pruning old trees, and those which have got
ten their growth, observe the following rule :
Cut away no limb near the trunk, nor indeed
at any distance from it, which is too large at the
place of incision to heal or to close over again,
this may Sb determined by the thriftinefs of the
tree, as by the lize. If by neglect you have ful
lered a limb to hand, till it has attained this
growth, it must Rand, otherwise by extirpating
it you give the tree its death wound, by opening
an avenue to the air and water, which induce rot
tenugfs, and in course of time the limb or trunk
becomes hollow frequently to the roots.
For this reason no sprout should be Coffered to
remain on or near the body of the sapling, which
is not designed (hall Rand when it has attained its
full growth. The long life of different orchards,
foil and Situation being equal will depend more
on the above management than on any other cir
cumstance.
In trimming an orchard, great patience and in
dndry are required, which will be amply reward
ed at the harvest. You mutt not only remove all
the dead and dry branches, bun extricate eve&y
unnecessary twig and succor, from each branch,
to its ver, extremity.
The more of this labour that is performed, if
performed with judgment, the more thrifty will,
the tree become, and Xhe fruit will not only be
increased in quantity but much improved in qual
ity-
When the tops of the branches of your apple
trees begin to die (which will he much retarded
by the above treatment) they ought immediately
to be regenerated, by giving what A called a new
top :•—This is^doue by cutting off a few feet of
their extremeties, over the whole tree, so as to
leave it in a proper form; if the trunk is yet tol
erably found, the new branches will grow thrif
tily, and bear luxuriantly, and if you wish to va
ry your fruit, the Sprouts, after one years growth,
and molt frequently the fame year, will be fit for
inoculating, which succeeds equally well in the
old as in the young trees, and with which every
farmer ought to be aeqainted. The art of
grafting fruit trees in the easiest known method,
and greatest perfection, seems to have made but
little progress in this country, notwithstanding the
many advantages of foil and Situation.

THE OFFSPRING OF MERCY.
“ Create him not, said the angel of Truth ;
“ be will defile thy fanttuary with falfhood, al
though thou fhouldft Ramp on his countenance
thineim^ge, the seal of confidence.
So fyke the angels of the attributes of Jeho
vah ; when Mercy, the youngest and deareflchild
of Ine Eternal, arose, and clafpmg his kne.s,
“ Create him, father," said She, “ in thy likeuefs,
the darling of thy loving kindness—When all thy
meflengers forfake him,! will seek and kipport
him, and turn his faults to good. Becanfe he is
weak, I will incline his bowels to compassion and
his foul to atonement, — Wiien he departs from
peace, from truth, from justice, the coufequenccs
of his wanderings shall deter him from repeating
them, and shall gently lead him to amendment."
The Father ot All gave ear, and created Man,
a weak faltering being ; but in tris faults tie
pupil of Mercy, the son of ever active and melior
ating Lore.
Remember thine origin, O man ! when thou
art hard and unkind towards thy brother, Mercy
alone willed thee to be ; Love and Pity fuel-Red
thee at their bosoms.
