grains of wheat when ripening the truth
Of which learned from actual observa-
tions. The fly may be seen by the mid.
die of June, and from that time till whe at
is cut, flying about and lighting upon ears
of wheat. 1t deposits its eggs upon the
outer end Of the grain, where they may be
seen with good microscope or optic
glass sometimes to the number Of six
or seven on one grain.
They remain there till the grain is
sown. The warmth necessary to produce
vegetation Is sufficient to animate the in
sect. II bursts its shell and enters the
shoot, where it lies in torpid state till
the next spring, except in some instances
when wheat is sowD early, the fly COM
mences its ravsges 10 the fall :-When
this is discovered, tho best method is to
turn sheep upon i, and pasture it short
either in the fall or in the winter.
The most efFectual way to check tie
propagation, is in preparing the seed
before sown which should be in the fol
lowing manner Put your seed int 6

water let it stand 10 or q hours then

Among all the numberless ways

There is none which more weakness dis.

Than wearing visagc too long.
The Omnipotent Donor designs
That the gifts of his grace be enloy'd
Hence, he that for ever repines,
Had better be better cmploy'd.
When first was created our race,
This earth for mans mansion was giY'n
And shall he find fault with the place
To which he's allotted by heav'n.
It's thing, believe understood,
In which every sect is agreed,
This earth was declared to be good,
And so in the bible we read.
Under Providence, tenants at will,
A fine habitation we hold
For US TO be murnuring still
Is wicked, ungra,esul and bold.
Yet well meaning people I've seen,
Who think true religion is shown
BY sort Of woe-begone mien,
And whining conventical tone.
'Eis true there's a season to mourn,
As Solomon says-ne'ertheless
Our gricfs should be manfully borne,
And tits folly to cherish distress.
A train of diseases await
On heart that forever is sad,
And some, from sorrowing state,
Become irretrieyably mad.
That religion can never be true,
Which bows its disciples to earth,
For be that has heav'n in view,
Has the best of all titles to mirtb.
