Advice to Young Women, or the Rose and Strawberry«
A FABLE.
YOUNG WOMEN !—don't be fond of killing,
Too well I kuow your hearts unwilling
To hide beneath the veil a charm—,
Too pleas'd a sparkling eye to roll,
And with a neck to thrill the foul
Os every Twain with love's alarm.
Yet, yet it prudence be not near,
Itsfaow may melt into a tear.
The dimpled (mile and pouting lip,
Where little cupjds neftar sip,
Are very pretty lures, 1 own :
But ah ! ifPRUDENCE be not nigh,
Those lips where all the CUPIDS lie,
May give a passage to a groan.
A rose, in all the pride of bloom,
flinging around her rich perfume,
Her form to public notice pushing,
_Amidit the summer's golden glow,
Peep'd on a STRAWBERRY below,
Beneath a leaf in secret blulhing.
<< Miss Strawberry," exclaim'd the Rose,
« What beauty that no mortal knows ?
“ What is a charm if never seen?
«You really are a pretty creature:
<' Then wherefore hide each blooming feature ?
“ Come up and shew your model! mein."
Miss Rose,' 'the Strawberry replied,
66 I never did poflefs a pride,
<< That wifh'd to dafli the public eye :
"Indeed 1 own 1 am afraid —
"I think there's fafety in the /hade ;
" Ambition causes many a ligh."
" Go, simple child," the Rose rejoin'd,
<lSee how I wanton in the wind :
“ I feel no danger's dread alarms :
" And then onferve the GOD of day,
“ How amorous with his golden ray,.
" To pay his visit to my charms !"
No sooner said, but with a (cream,
She started from her favorite theme—>
A clown had on her fix'd his pat •
In vain (he fcreech'd —Hob did but smile,
Rub'd with her leaves his nose awhile,
Then bluntly Buck her in his hat! !!
TO FARMERS.
A mo, excellent method oj making BUTTER,
as now praaifed in England, which effeau
all,prevents its changing, and becoming rank.
THE day before churning, scald the cream in a
clean iron kettle, over a clear fire, taking care
that it does not boil over. As soon as it begins to
boil or is fully scalded, drain it, when the parti
cles of milk which tended to four and change the
butter, are separated and left behind. Put the ves
sel into which it was (trained in a tub of water, in
a cellar, till next morning, when it will be ready
for churning, and become butter in left than a
quarter of the time required in the common me
thod. It will also be hard, with a peculiar addi
tional sweetness, and will not change. The labour
in this way is less than the other, as the butter
comes so much sooner, and saves so much labour
in working out the butter-milk. By this method
good butter may be made in the hotteJl weather.
THE evening of age to a virtuous man, is calm
and unclouded ; he links into the grave like a let
ting fun, adorned with tempered lultre, directing
his course to a goal, from which he may rife again
with renovated fplen^or.
The youthful mind, like the blossoms of an ear
ly spring, requires a mild and follering hand to
Wake it to perfection ; the finalleft bud that finds
a (belter from the boisterous elements, expands
its silken leaves replete with odours ; while the
strong oak, that spreads its broad arms to the cut
ting blast, awaits the glowing season in naked po
verty.

A Baronet of the lad century, whose mansion
Was in Yorklhire, was supposed to be dead, when
\the following conversation took place between his
Jeftei or Fool and,one of his Servants.
Servant Our mailer is gone.~ Fool. Ah whith
er is he gone ? Serv. To Heaven 1 hope. Fool. To
Heaven ? n^ that he is not, I am sure. Serv. Why
fo ? Fool. Why because Heaven is a great way off,
and when my matter was going a long journey,
he used for some time to talk about and prepare
for it ; but 1 never heard him (peak of Heaven, or
make any preparation for going , he cannot there
fore be gone thither.
The Baronet, however recovered, and this con
versation being told him, he was so struck with it
that he immediately began to prepare for hisjour
ney to that country. “ from whose bourne no
traveller returns."
ONE night, a Trumpeter, at the Cape of Good
Hope, getting .drunk, was carried out of doors, in
order to cool him, and to bring him the sooner to
his senses. The feent of him soon attracted the
tyzer,wolf, which coming op, laid hold of him and
dragged him along like a corpse, towards the Ta
ble Mountain. The motton awakened the trum
peter, who, without being quite fenfiblebf his dan
ger, began to found the alarm with his trumpet,
which be carried by his fide. The wild-bead was
•frightened inhis turny and the drunken man was
left to recover his senses in security.
AN Indian Chief of the Creek nation, being
once appoined to negotiate a treaty of peace with
the people of South Carolina, was desired by the
Governor and Council to speak his mind freely,
and hot be afraid, for he was among friends. “ I
will speak freely : I will not be afraid," said he,
forwhy (hould I be afraid among my friends, who
never am afraid nmong my enemies ?"
A difeovery of very general importance has been
lately made in refpea to the culture of potatoes :
it has been the common practice heretofore to
raise this nourlhing article of food from cutting
and planting what is termed the eyes of potatoes :
but from several recent trials, clusters of potatoes,
each weighing from 20 to 22 ounces, have been
produced from planting onb the fhootsor sprouts.
