You will be astonished to see, that, al
though all the neighborhood is infested,
the space inclosed by the hemp, will be
perfectly free from them--no vermin OF

This arises either from the aversion
they have to this plant, or the fondness
birds have for perching on it, which

the present day it has been employed in
medicine, and its virtues and properties
unequivocally confirmed by time and
experience.
Its flowers are resolutive, anodyne,

THE MERMAID.

1t was mentioned in all the Journals,
some time ago, that Mermaid, caught
in the Indian seas, had been brought to
this country. The creature so eescrb.
ed and no doubt one ofshe species which
has given rise to SO many fabulous sto-
ries, is now in the museum in Surgeons
Hall, London. 1t is about 8 feet in
length and bears a strong resemblance
to the common seal. There is also
young female of the same species in the
same place. They belong to the class
of Mammaiia the fins terminate (nter-
nally) in structure like the human
hand; the breasts of the female are very
prominent, and in sucking its young,
not only the appearance, but their situa-
ton on the body, must cause that extra
ordinary phenomenon which has led to
the popular belief In other respects
the face is far from looking like that Of
the human race; and the long hair is as
entirely wanting, as the glass and comb.

within eighteen or twenty inches OF each
other-trim them up smooth, and let
each have a fork at the small end, to
fasten trace to with small ring-the
other end of the traces, to be hooked to
the names, SO as that the poles can be
heightened or shortened agreeably to the
size of the cocks; one end to drag till
you get to the hay, then put small boy
on the horse, let him ride round the
cock, and stop with his horses head to-
wards the stack or barrack. A weak
hand will do to hitch on the load, which
is done by putting the poles around the
cock, close to the ground, lif ing the hay
at each side of the cock, to permit the
poles to go few inches under it; then
make the trace fast to the names; step
behind the cock, and put your feet on the
but end of the poles, to keep them to
the ground at starring, also holding the
top of the cock with your hands, to keep
it steady until it is under way. The ri
der then drives to the stack, unhooks
the chain from the names on the side
next to the stack, wheels around with his
horse, draws the poles out behind by the
other chain, and gallops off TO the next
cock, where the hitcher is ready; having
with hand rake taken up in the mean
while any lock that may have stuck in
the stubble at the bottom, and put ii on
the top of the cock to be next taken.--
We generally let the cocks have one
night to settle. One hand will hitch for
two or three horses, and three horses,
with lively boys to attend them, will
draw as fast as four pitchers will put It
up to two stackers, until the cocks &C,
forty or fifty poles distant from the stack,
when four horses would work 10 TIL bcsl
advantage. When we take chains to
draw with, we tie four iron traces, end to
end. Good hands will become expert
in either mode by an hours practice.

A MOTHER TO HER DAUGHTER, GOING

You are now, my beloved child, about
to leave those arms which have hitherto
cherished you, and directed your every
step, and, at length, conducted you to
safe, happy, and honorable protection, in
the very bosom Of love and honor. You
must be no longer the Eighty, inconsi-
derate, naughty, passionate girl, but ever,
with reverence and delight, have the me-
rit of your husband in view. Reflect how
vast the sum Of your obligation to the
man who confers upon you Independence
distinction, aud above all felicity.
Moderate then, my beloved child,
your own private expenses, and proper
ton your general expenditure to the
standard of his fortune, or rather to his
wishes.
| fear not that, with your education and
principles, you can ever forget the more
sacred duties, SO soon to be your sphere
Of action. Remember the solemnity OF
your VOWS, the dignity of your charac-
ter, the sanctity of your condition. You
are amenable to society for your exam
pie, to your husband for his honor and
happiness, and to Heaven itself for those
rich talents entrusted to your care and
improvement and though, in the maze
of pleasure, or the whirl OF passion, the
duties of the heart may be forgotten, re-
member, my darling girl, there is re-
cord which will one day appear in terri

A PREMIUM CROP OF POTATOES.

fhEMIUM CROP VI POi n IOES.
Gentlemen-In entering the lists OF
competition for your premiums on agr-
cultural products, | deem it necessary to
state that the land in which one acre OF
potatoes were raised (and entered al
Brighton, October 10th, 1920 the pre-
sent year, was broken up in October,
1919. The two years previous, had
been used as a part of a sheep pasture,
on which the sheep were folded at night.
The situation of the land, is near the
foot of heavy swell, and is gently in
clning to the east, the soil a dark yel-
lowish loan, such as we call chestnut
land. In the spring of 1890, the land
was cross ploughed and narrowed, and
between the 2lst and eth OF May, the
crop was put in, in the following man
ner: Six burrows were cut lengthwise
the piece, Gas owing to the local situa-
ton of the land, the whole manure had
to be carried across the field in various
directions, which will account for six
burrows at time only.) The manure,
(Which in quantity, was about 81 loads,
and in quality, that made from neat cat
tie and sheep, the 90 loads from sheep
was three fourlhs straw, their winter lit
ter spread in, and the cut potatoes plant
ed one foot apart, the horse plou gh then
followed, throwing the loan on the ma
nure and potatoes; this again followed
by the hand hoe to dress down, or add
the loan, which completes the process
in about half the time aid much better,
likewise, than the same entirely per-
formed with the hoe.
In ten days the wedding commenced
by running the horse-plough as near the
manure as possible, throwing the loan
in ridge between the rows (Which were
three feet apart following with the hoe to
dress the plants. About the 22d June,
the ridges were split with the horse
plough, throwing an equal quantity of
the same to each row, followed with the
hoe as above.-The vines at this time
were not more than inches in height
and not yet in the bud. From this time,
the field was not entered till harvest
which commenced the ed October, and
on finishing the same, had by admeasure-
ment, six hundred and fourteen bushels.
The seed used, was forty bushels, part
the Rhode a-Plate reds, and the remain
der the Fitchburg whites. The reds
gave superior yield on like quantity
of land in the proportion of six in eleven,
in bushels, but the whites were five
pounds in bushel the heaviest.
would here observe with much de-
ference to the opinion Of more expe-
rienced farmers) that as the present
season has been too hot and dry for pc.
tatoes, think 700 bushels can be pro-
duced from the acre in this country in
our best seasons, for the successful cul'
ture of this valuable root.

something to tell you;' then, they with
draw from the company, either by quit
| ting the room, or seating themselves in
some remote corner, where they set
whispering, tittering, and now and then
making an exclamation aloud, to the
great annoyance of the sensible or we'll
bred part of the company. Young men
too, will often descend to the same pu-
Grille frivolity. But all this may be
deemed folly; and did it rest there, the
evil would not be very great. l have
said, that tattlers had always weak heads,
and it too often happens they have also
malignant, envious, cruel hearts; and
this l expect to be the case with the sis
ter of friend of mine, for he says,
" many are the dissentlons she has oc-
oasioned in families, and between
friends" She has, l understand, per-
sonal attractions and accomplishments
sufficient to gain seriols admirers but
her unbridled tongue unbinds the chain
before the links are too closely drawn
to be broken. What prospect can this
young woman have of happiness in this
world; or what kind of Preparation is
such conduct for another? Has she
once reflected that the time will arrive,
(and how soon no one can tell) when she
must give strict account of every idle
word, and if of every idle, too surely Of
every false and malicious one. Poor
girl should her life be long one, and
this dreadful propensity continue, how
tch aI hDxU fnplnrn n haipu will che
find herself; her society will be Stunned
like pestilence, her very name de-
tested, for we loath standerer as we do
aviper. She will live despised and ne
elected, and will sink implied into the
grave, the prey and the victim of her
own malice. What can be said to wean
her from vice, (for l will not give it q
gentler term) so horrid, so dreadful in
its consequences Religion, honors
moral rectitude, all combine to brand
the liar and slanderer with infmy.-
And think it is great pity that the
law had not power to punish offenders in
this way; to silence the false tongue,
and seal the lying lips. The thief, the
murderer, are punished with death, and
yet what are the injuries they can do,
compared with what may be done by
calumniator The thief may despoil us
of our property; an assassin may take
our life--but the calumniator can rob US
of fame brand our names with crimes
to which our hearts are strangers; and
handing his malicious ISLANDERS down to
posterity, perpetuate the injury to the
latest period OF time.
