Immediately after heavy rain, il was a.

The ground thoroughly hoed--the weeds

Inferior TO what Sir John Sinclair says

My principal object 10 making this com.

idea entertained by many intelligent agri-
IculturaIists, that the soil and climate OF
Virginia are unfavorable 10 the growth OF
Itnrnips; aud at the same time to make
known what / consider the best method Of
planting and cnilivsiing them.
With regard TO the comparative value
| of turnips for stock and culinary uses, it is
unnecessary TO express an opinion; but
do not hesitate 10 say that farmers 10 every
section Of our country, who will pay some
attention to the cultivation Of that vege-
table, will be richly remunerated.

plLIGENcEIN EMpLoYMENT.

Regard the words of the preacher, and
| 10 whatever employment you engage, be
industrious, and do 'swith all your might
the work which your " hands fluid to do.
Much OF the misery Of mankind. want
lpenury, and disgrace, may be attributed to
their listiessness and indifference to the
objects about which they are professedly
lempioyed--to their inatteution TO the bu-
lsiness " (which their hands find TO do"
10 whatever business we undertake,
system and assiduity will certainly ensure
success. Only one thing can be done at
a time. The attention should be so steadi.
~ fixed uponthe object in view as to ex-
clude all intruding thoughts--the mind
should admit no ideas, but such as serve TO
elucidate the subject under consideration.
Men whose enterprises succeed, and who
are capable OF managing variety of bu-
siness, without suffering one part to inter
iere with another, are esteemed by the
world highly gifted, and men of remarka-
BILE abilities. Desirable as such qualifca-
tons are, they are within the reach of al
most every enc. If the man who spends
his idle hours ia wondering how his neigh.
boIs should be more wealthy than himself,
would chastise his sluggish mind to action,
and tax his powers to reasonable exertion,
bis wonder would cease, aud the prospect
brighten before him.
Whatever difference there NAV be ia
the capacities Of men, or whatever differ
|ence in the consultation of their minds, il
IS very certain, that persevering applica-
tion will surmount all difficulties. The
steady efforts of mind bent on science,
are ever effectual. Every thing is acqui-
red by exertion, and be who declines pur.
suing this or that course Of study, because
he has no genius TO excel 10 it, suffers eli
Their from Incidence or dependency.
In the attainment OF any desirable OBJ
ject, the most direct means are 10 be used
Ito such purpose the undivided attention
must be devot ID ;--if a man would be
wealthy, he must thoroughly attend TO his
business, and not trust to fortune or lot
terry tickets; If he would be wise and learn
ed, he must " read men and books and
not depend on bis natural talents; the

mind should be intept on " whatever the
hands find TO do,"-by system and order
10 our pursuits, giving each distinct por-
ton Of time, and pre- enting confusion, We
shall effect much !; whereas, by the waut OF
method. II our avocations are vsfious, no.
thing is well done. Whoever faithfully
follows the Injunction of the preacher, viii,
under divine Providence, obtain all things
necessary 70 his comfort, aud all thai is
requisite to make him happy in himself,
and respected by otiiers-for it is got only
for time he should labor, but for eternity.

THE VIVID MAN.

Among the natural curiosities Of Pc.
land must be reokoned the wild men that
have been found in the woods of that coun-
try. The frequent incursions of the Tar
tars and other barbarous nations, who of
ten bore off whole villages of people into
slavery, probably forced the women to car
~ their children into the woods for safety,
and 10 case of further pursuit.to leave them
behind for they are frequently found a.
mong bears and other wild beasts,by whom
they are nourished and taught to feed like
them. Such beings have been frequently
found in the woods both Of Poland and
Germany, divested Of almost all the pro-
perties Of humanity except the form
Those that have been taken, went gene
rally upon oil tours, though sometimes they
stood upright. They had not the use Of
speech at first, but were taught TO speak
when brought into towns and used kindly;
retaining 10 memory of their former saw
age lives when they came to be hnmanized
and made conyersabie BY cultivation.
When you feel dissatisfied with your cir
cumstances, look down on those beneath
you that you may learn conteutment.
