The following reflections upon the seasons in Eng
lsnd, are from the pen of Montgomery, the
editor of the Sheffield IRIS They will apply,
without essential variation, to the murmurings
and complaints which the people of all countries
are apt to indulge in at the dispensations OF
providence-Bost Yankee.
There is nothing 10 the history of the
ancient Jews (miracles themselves not ex
cepted, more surprising to christian rea-
ders, than their proneness to murmur un-
der every dispensation Of providence,
which they did not perfectly understand,
or approve and yet nothing ought to be
less surprising, since christians themselves
are frequently Jews in this. Those of us
who can look back little way into the
last century, and call up the images and
remembrances Of years that have long
been vanished, are ready to tell our jun
iors, that when ne were children time
wore lovelier aspect than he does now,
the climate was more genial, and the sea-
SONS were more regular; spring all as
fragrance and fertility summer all glory
and beauty; autumn, festivity and mirth !;
winter, magnifcence abroad, and fireside
felicity at home. But now, winter lin
gers in the lap of May Summer is
cherries and humid. Autumn late and
unfruitful, while winter is neither hot nor
cold, wet nor dry, and has neither frost
nor snow, storm nor calm, nor any wealth
er to which name can be given-in short,
there is no graduation Of seasons at all and
the months, from one end Of the year to
the other, are SO little distinguishable,
that they might well be reversed from
December TO January, if not dislocated
altogether, and dropped from tie moon,
like things forgotten, in any arrangement
that might happen. These, or complaints
just as reasonable as these, have been in
almost every body's mouth, who has
breathed little longer than the youth that
came Of age last week. How far they
are true, it would be wasting time to en-.
quire; but though We may have occa-
sionally raised our voices in the universal
chorus of murmurs, yet we cannot help
suspecting, that there il, no more cause for
repining now at the depravity Of the
weather in our changable climate, than
was of old for the discomfort of the Jews,
when for their daily bread they received
angels food, and the water from the rock
followed them in all their wanderings, 40
years ia the wilderness. 1t is natural for
adults to think that seasons OF their infan-
cy and youth we're more delightful 10
themselves than those Of their maturity,
because then they had in their own frames
and spirits, seusibilities for enjoyment,
which age may have blunted, or repeti-
lion Of the same objects, though objects Of
| pleasure, may have wearied.; and because

To arrest Horses in the act Of running off.
A German writer suggests simple
method of stopping horses from running
away-the plan is, to have blinds SO at.
tached to the headstall of the bride, that
by drawing a check rein, fixed for that
purpose, the blinds will Immediately close
over the eyes, aud by confounding the
horse, compel him through fear to stop i'm
mediateiy. Ifthis plan be found to answer
it ought 10 be adopted, particularly 10 the
case OF all public stages. The line from
the blind might be fastened 10 the front Of
The stage, SO that any passenger might
pull it, in case of accident TO, or absence
of the driver. 1t is confidently affirmed
that the most ungovernable horse or mule
may be subdued and made quite tractabIe,
by stopping his ears with wool or cotton
so as to preuent has hearing.

ADVICE TO FARMERS. BE-


TO be useful in our day is a duty and
blessing; but to gain this point we must
tili up the circle of our life not only 10
the industrious performance of incumbent
duty, for the education and support of
our families. but $50 take prospective
view OF what may he useful TO our sue
cessors on this pleasant, prolific ball Of
earth.
When boy, | was presented with a
fine rare-ripe Peach, larger and more
luscious than | had ever before tasted !;
being then at the house of friend,
planted the stone iii corner Of his gar
den-visiting him two years afterwards,
| was agreeably surprised to iud that the
tree had attained fine growth, and 10 my
after visits in many successive years,
found it in full bearing, and have no doubt
that il has gladdencd the family aud neigh
bourhood with more than 200 bushels Of
peaches, like the original in size aud fla
YOUR. All will allow that there was an
amp!e reward for the trifliDg exertion Of
planting peach-stone.
But the peach is not the only thing
which may be propsgated TO advantage.
How small matter is If, for instance, to
cut slip from a grape. zine and plant it
by the side of piazza, or at the corner
Of the house how soon will its leaves
afford pleasant and healthful shade, and
its branches be loaded with delicious clus-
tiers. The Currant, Gooseberry, Ounce,
Raspberry, the Rose, SNOWFALL, Lilack,
and multitude of useful and ornamental
shrubs, may be propagated by SLIPS. In
this connection | will mention the Hop
zine, a plant which, whether profit or
pleasure be consulted, should be intro
duced TOTO every garden and back yard
in town and country; it is raised from
ss'saH f'iecc. Of The root, and when once it
has taken to growing may be considered
one OF the hardest perennials at the
same time that an excellent and palatable
beverage is obtained from it in the hop
beer, we must likewise look to ii as one
OF the means of that great moral reforma-
ton which our country must certainly eX-
perience, or suffer ruin.
Hop beer is reforming liquor it has
an astringence, a particularly of favour
in which man may comfortably rest.
whose palate has been accustomed to rum.
In my own farming business give no ar
dent spirits, but am particular in the
quality Of beer; and / can say without
hesitation that, although ordinarily en-
ploy men who have been accustomed to
spirits, and sometimes to excess, yet |
have found no one who did not profess to
be pleased with my substitute. and who
did not satisfy me that he derived as much
strength and animation from ii as he would
from ardent spirits.
Brother Farmers, halt not between two
opinions-you knov Baal is not God, there
fore do not worship him-demolish his al
tars-break the m-bottle-encourage
sober, orderly, cheerful style of conduct
your labourers and in your families,
and let your farms be noted for good crops
and good manners. COLUMEL.

paint the roof Of old buildings, would do
well to try it. The expense of painting
a roof in this way, would be much less
than in the common method. The cement
becomes very bard and glossy, and is said
10 be more durable than the best kind Of
paint.
The foilowing is recipe for making it !,
Take as much lime as is usual in making
a pail full of whitewash, and let il be mix
ed in pail nearly full of water; in this
put two pounds and half Of brown sugar,
aud three pounds of fine salt, mix them
well together and the cement is com
pIeted. A little lamp black, yellow ochre,
or other coIoring commodity, may be in
trodnced to change the celeiir Of the ce.
ment TO please the fancy of those who use
lit. The gentleman who furnished us with
the receipt for making it, observed that
ne had used it with great success, and re-
commends it particularly as a protection
against fire. Small sparks of fire that
frequently lodge Oh the roofs of houses.
are prevented by this cement from in
flaming the shingles. So cheap and val
liable precaution against this destructive
element, ought not to pass untried Those
who wish TO be better satisfied of its utiIi-
~, can make the experiment, by using a
small portion of the cement, on some small
temporary building; or it may be tried on
dry shingles put together for the purpose,
aud then exposed to the fire.

The following good-natured hints from paper of
the Agricultural Calendar, are worth the notice
of the husbandman.
The men who are farmers by book are
no farmers for me. They make much
talk and parade about their compost, and
their non-compost, and all that, but give
me the man who prefers his hands to books
and with little will fetch great deal to
pass. Let those who follow husbandry
for amusement, try experiments. Poh,
nonsense! Why, my wife the other day,
silly woman, undertook to bake pudding
by the book. And she book'd it, and
boek'd it, and after all never cook'd it.
POUNDS. said l, Sarah, this will never dc
for working farmers; if we undertake to
make buildings and sow turnips by the
book we shall get to the last page OF our
business before We are half ready. Let
learned men attend to cases, genders,
moods and lenses, you aud / will see to
our flocks, diaries, fields, and fences.
