A Clergyman Farmer in New Eng

to tlresh out, and sermon to write.
To accomplish both at the same time
being inconvcnient, he hired men 10
work by the day in his barn: While, at
RIO great distance from them, he wrought
in his study. Theology ard threshing
being both together in his head, he
could not help checking the course OF
his pen now and then to listen to the
sound Of the Gail, Imagine his astonish-
rnent and CONSERVATION when heard it

but in very long metre, "by-. the day

(" by.-the- .day"--then would come a
long pause, and after il another stave' OF
!he same song. The parson left his SER
mon, aud bargained with his laboreis by
The JOB. He had not time to seat HIM
self by the desk again, before the fail
began In Allegro. BY the Job, job,
Job, the job, the job, the job, jolx JOB"
---and the racket in the burn forced him
to retreat from his study, and finish the
eermon at neighboring house.

AGRICULTURAL AMEcDorE.

FuTius Creslnus, as mentioned by
Pliny.. the Roman historian, was origin
ally slave. Having been made freed
man, ne purchased small spot of
ground from which he obtained through
his unwearied industry. much finer crops
than many Of the neighbors who had
iarger farms. This excited general en-.
w, which his enemies carried to such
length as to accuse him Of employing
magic charms to render his own grounds
fertile, and to impoverish theirs. The
Idle caused him to be summoned to
appear and answer the charge before the
: people Of Rome Cresinus obeyed the
|. mandate, accompanied by his daughter,
4 fresh and healthy colcred girl, charms
which appeared to greater advantage
from the simplicity Of her dress. The
accused also brought with him the tools
and implements ol his profession. They
were in excellent condition. His mat
tocks wsre remarkably heavy; his
plough was OF an enormous size, and his
cattle were all sound and fat" Be-
hold I" said this truly digniGed and IN
dignant Erner, "hehoid my whole mag
ical equipage behold the charms which
Il have resource to! There are others,
indeed, which ! am not capable Of pro.
ducing before you: mean the sweat Of
my brows, and incessant tolls both by
day and night" This native eloquence
decided the matter he vas honorably
acquitted by the unanimous voice Of a
numerous and appauding assembly.
