never, as long as he lived, go into
churchyard again, walked off with the
sack, and never was seen by Mr.. Jack
son more.
The practice has been found an infai-
hble cure for vagrancy in the parish of
st. Catherine Cree. The celebrated
Cooke, the miser of PetonvilIe, knew
the disposition of the beggars well, and
drew much benefit from the knowledge.
When any beggar-man came to his gate,
and complained of want of work, Cooke
set him to digging the garden, but took
care 10 watch from under window,
lest he should run off with the spade
After an hour or two's labonr, the work
man stuck the spade in the earth, and
sneaked off. His place was soon sup
piled by another, who had very little in,
clination to labour-and thus Cooke
managed to have his garden dug with
out tarthing's expense.

: Our watchmen are certainly becom-
ing vigilant. Nocturnal depredations
are less frequent to be sure, few
stores are broken open occasionally, and
some hogsheads and other light articles
are carried away; but we have traced
the cause of this vigilance. The watch
men are kept awake by the different
serenading bands and itinerant musicians,
whe foolshly prefer the cool breeze of
the night, and the silver radiance of the
moon 10 the fierce and intolerabAe rays
of the meridian sun.
These sons of Apollo, however, have
been most ungratefuIly treated by the
watchnen, and instead of thanks for be-
ing aroused from their slumbers BY this
4" concord Of sweet sounds" these mu-
nicipal guardians of the night have laid
unmusical hands upon the wandering
Ministries, and have either escorted them
to the watch-house, OF dispersed them
as distnrbers of publick peace.-Now,
under favour, this is most Goth and
Vandal assumption of power. As Fall

play at bis ease in this our free city,

the watchmen; but these bands of mu-

CHEAP CURE OF HaGRANcI.

At meeting lately held in London,
concerning the houseless poor, the Lord
Mayor made the following remarks -
He considered that one of the great
est causes of vagrancy, was want of
work-for the purpose of preventing
which complaint, he should advise the
adoption Of plan, which an old friend
of his, Mr.. Jackson, one of the over
seers of the parish of St. Catharine
Cree, had tried. He would provide
work, whether that work proved to be
matter of peculiar advantage or not
and the host of Migrants who hated
work would soon disappear, as they had
done in the case of his friend, when they
found that, without working for it, they
could get nothing to eat The case to
which his Lordship alluded was as fol-
lows Mr., Jackson was considerably
annoyed, while he was overseer, by the
solicitations from great hulking fellows
of the parish, who always said they got
no work. Well, my poor menu he at
length said to some of them, PH see
and get you little work. He then
took them to the church-yard, and order
ed them to pick up all the loose stones
that lay about, and throw them in corr
ner, In few hours, all but one got tir-
ed, and skulked off. He who remained
calculated upon the contrast between his
conduct and that of those who departed,
and he actually staid two or three DAYS,
which greatly increased his strength.
He collected all the small stones he
could find, in corner. AS soon as he
had done so, he went of to Mr.. Jackson,
who had paid him most cheerfully, and
said he was again at loss for work.
" Say you SO, my poor fellow ?" said Mr..
Jackson" then | must see what can
do for you. Let me see.-There is
sack-fill that with stones from the cor
ner, and carry them off to Bethnal
Green, and make haste back for anoth-
er sack"
The vagrant proceeded upon his new
employment with very i'll grace. AS
soon as he got to White Chapel Church,

natural state OF man, and peace merely
the time OF repese to recruit the ex-
hausted energies, to fit US to carry on
the war again. Father Bunyan's he
roes, are but pictures of the common
lot, drawn in pretty high relief. The
wars OF the seCiarians of all religious
denominations with the world, the flesh,

Nor are the Farmers, as such, peaceful
as the cultivators of the soil are presum-
ed to be, exempt from continued con-.
tlicts. In Pennsylvania, we have to
wage perpetual war with the Hessian
fly and Garlick, and it is only by enrich
ing the land, deep ploughing-good
tending-in other words, unceasing and
DISCRIMINATING war, that these invaders
are kept in due subsection.

North, it seems, are attacked by new

sion OF the Connecticut Legislature or

loudly for aid against the encroachments
OF this pesterous enemy and declares
that Z" this noxious weed, formerly pc,
culiar to Canada, has overrun Vermont
and New-Hampshire, and in its rapid
and unobstyucted march is spreading it.

This IS quite as bad as Shays' rebellion.
Whether the enemy intends to march
South, like Burgoyne, we have not
heard, but we hope the publick-spirited
state of New ork, together with our
Yankee brethren, may be able to arrest
his progress.

The field Of the farmer should be
contiguous to his barn; no bushes OF
trees should be suffered to grow in his
held. They are prejudicia! to his in
serest---a great obstruction TO labour,.
and the Improvement of the SOIL. They
exhaust the strength of the land near
them, so as not to leave sufficient for
good crop of grass, grain, potatoes or
other vegetables. They not only ex-
haust the soil, bot their shade is iniuri-
Gus to the crops-it diminishes them
both in quantity and quality. A farmer
had well-cultivated feld--the north
side adjeined his neighbours wood lot
but that portion of his field produced
third less than an equal quantity Of
land in the other parts of the field
de increased the quantity of manure
on the north part, and doubled his dill
gence in the cultivation of it-still his
crops were deficient. He then cut
ditch on his own land, near his neigh
bour's wood-lot, so deep that the roots
OF the trees did not run below it, and
as the shade of the trees from the north
was SMALL he soon found that the crops
on that portion of his field, nearly
equatled that on the other parts. Trees
and bushes in field, are great OBJ.
struction to the plough, the harrow and
the hoe; they not only expose those
utensils to greater danger, but consume
d portion of Iabour, and leave some of
the land mproductive. They afford a
shelter and place of retreat for birds,
squirrels, and vermin, who waste and
destroy the corn and grain. No man,
who suffers trees, much less bushes, to
grow in his field, either promotes his
own interest or merits the title of a
good farmer.

not generally known, that the leaves Of
