CUTTING OF RYE.

community.
Rye ought TO pc cut as soon as posi-

kernel then rake, bisd in small sbeaves
and shock in the following manner: sci
up four, five or six sheaves together &C
cording to their bulk then place on a
cap-sheaf.
10 this position, the shocks may stand
till perfectly dry; then secure them in
IA barrack or barn, bnt never now them
on hay. Grain moved on hay will re-
ceive more or less must, which is dele
FERROUS to animals of every kind.
Rye cut and secured in this manner,
is worth nearly double the price of that

the clover be cut when very green, and

den Of supporting these institutions falls prip-
cipally upon the rich-but above all, that the
wealthy would find elsewhere the means Of
education for their children, while the poor
would be left to grow up in state of igno-
rance, and but poorly qualified to discharge
the duties imposed upon the by the constitu-
ton OF their country. Nor have the rich any
reason to complain of this, more than of the
other expenses of civil government. If the
means OF education are afforded 10 the poor as
well as to the rich, the state Of society is inn
proved by 1.-THE standard of public morals is
eievated--a greater security is furnished t.
their wealth--and their taxes for the support
oil the poor are diminished, in proportion as
the causes ofPauperism are removed.
The laws will be obeyed, and the princi-
Pies of morality observed, in proportion as
they are understood. government, depen-
Ding like ours for its support on public opinion,
and where the rulers and Legislators are select
ed from all classes in the community, can

ersl diffusion OF knowledge. 1t is because,
believe it to be the tendency of these institu-
tons to aid in perpetuating the principles of a
free constitution, that | am DESTROYS to see
them encouraged, and to have the laws re-
specting them properly attended to. 1t is to
these institutions we owe it, that there is a
more general diffusion of knowledge among
all classes Of people in New England, than in
any other county on the globe. 1t is in these
schools, that the rudiments of education are
acquired by all our sons and daughters, and
too many of the latter depend exclusively
upon them, for all The information necessary
to discharge the important duties which may
devolve upon them.
The spirit of improvement excited by our
public schools, in great measure if not en-
tIrely. may be seen in the multiplied religious
and literary institutions which are springing
up in every quarter Of our country, and in the
constant increase Of newspapers and literary
publications among us.
Nor is this spirit confined to our country
alone. 1t has spread into other lands, and the
efforts which are now making to introduce
i9to the governments of other countries, the
principles of a representative government, and
the trial by jury, to secure personal liberty,
and to establish the freedom of the press,
must naturally produce the most favorable
effects upon the welfare and happiness of the
people. The cause of liberal principles will
prevail, in spite Of all the opposition formed
against it, and the time will arrive when the
principles of free government shall be un-
derstood and enjoyed by all the nations of the
earth.

on SUMMER.

Every age has felt the analogy which
subssts between the seasons of the
year, and the character and duties of
men.-There is, in the revolutions of
time. kind Of warning voice which
summons US to thought and reflection,
and every season, as it arises, speaks 10
US of the analogous character which we
ought to maintain. From the first open
ing of the spring, TO the last desolation
of winter, the days Of the year are en-
blematic of the state and of the duties
Of mau; and, whatever may be the pc
riod of our journey, we can scarcely
look up into the Heavens, and mark the
path of the sun, without feeling some
thing either to animate US upon our
course, or to reprove US for our delay.
II is now the pride and glory of the
year.-The 6 winter is over and gone"
the spring has again unlocked all the
annual promises of nature,-the earth
around us is every where covered with
Righteousness and beauty,-and the sun
is pursuing like giant his ;'course
through the Heavens" and dispensing
light and life over the world beneath
him. Are there no reflections, my
brethren, which such spectacle iu-
spires
Is it not emblematic TO us Of the ma
turity of human life, and of the virtues
which that season ought to display ? To
those of that age, the spring, with all
its weakness, and all lis dangers, is past !;
an unseen arm hath conducted them
through the dawn of their infant jour
ney, and led them on to that mighty
stage, where the honours of time and OF
eternity are 10 be won. Whatever may
be the station or condition in which they
are placed, there is yet to all some SIM
pie and evident duty which they are
called TO perform,-scme course which
they are summoned 10 run and, what
is far more, however narrow may be IFS
bounds, or obscure its situation, there is
some sphere TO which their influence
extends, and in which, like the summer
sun, they may dffuse joy and happiness
around them. In such seasons, let ma.
ture be their instructor; and, while
they bless the useful light which pours
gadness among the dwellings of men,
LET them remember that they also were
made 10 bless and 10 improve. Let
them remember, that to them have now
arisen the heightened and the enlighten-
ed days Of life, when every thing calls
them to labour; that the breath Of
Heaven has ripened all their powers Of
mind and body into perfection; that

mustnow be worn down to the stumps.-
His air and his manner, at first, put you
very much 10 mind of those Of field
preacher He is tall, and bent, and plant
in his appearance and though his tones
be full and melodious, he hesitates, as if
he were either at loss what to say, or
ashamed TO say it. He stands crouched
together, pullsup his shoulders, hangs his
head, and there is tremulous motion in
his upper lip and nostril, which makes
you fancy that he is trembling through
fear His FIRST sentences, for an opening
sentence with him is ten minutes matter
at least, come forth cold, hesisating and
ambiguous, sothat for the soul of you, you
cannot perceive the drift ofthem. Each
is indeed, clear satisfactory proposition
in itself, but the whole seem bent in one
direction by moving force, which is yet
viewless as the wind. When, however,
sufficient number of these have been
drawn out 10 line, the whole march
solemnly and steadily to one conclusion,
and the position meant TO be carried, is
carried as completely and as irresistably
as by a bayonet charge of the most pow
erful British troops. One point being
thus won, the orator arises upon it, both
in body and mind, and wins second by
more bold and brief attack. Then he
vaults upon the subdued bases, rises in
figure and in tone till he overtops the
staring members and shakes the astonis,-
ed house and when he has gained what
you imagine TO be the very summit Of
powerfc speaking and has kept beautiful
time upon table aud looking towards
every corner Of the House, as if 10 see
and sheer at the admiration which he has
called forth, his voice and his figure sink
again to dimensions lever than ever.
You would imagine that he was terrifi
ed at the echo Of his own voice, but no
such thing it is like the bending of the
wrestler in order that he may twist his
antagonist in his grasp, or like the draw
ing back ofthe tiger, in order that he may
spring the more terribly on his prey
Woe be TO the man upon whom bis eye

Woe be to the wight, to whom those half
whispered words are prelude TO the
storm which is on the wing. You are Of
course stranger, and know not VIII tits to

on an air of incomprehensible mildness
and simplicity, and hear man speaking
in subdued whispers which astonish you
by being audible TO the very smallest syl-
liable, The words which were at first
cold and congealing, become hurried and
hot, and while the speaker absolutely
browns the cheering of his own party,
and binds the whole 6 Collective" in a
fetter which they dare not break, he is
peeling some poor wretch to the bone,
and tossing his mangled limbs into all the
positions Of mental agony through the
whole figures of rhetorick nor is it till
his own body has been vanquished and
beaten down by the energy of his own
mind that he drops upon his seat, giving
the House time 10 cheer,a nd leaving you
utterly confounded.-N. Y. Albion.

Rules for Summer Health.

These rules, though for summer,
will, with due allowance for latitude
and season, suit almost any time and
place
/. Keep yourself cool; but this you
may say IS impossible in our bot wealth
er. Ii is indeed difficult, still something
is to be-done-Take, for instance, moth
ing heating and stimulating, merely for
the sake of pleasing your palate, or
simplifying your brain not drop, ex-
cept your health requires it. This. at
least, will save you some money, and
prevent many evils beside.
2. Don't eat too much, which at
least half your neighbors do.
8. Retire in due seasop,-that ia due
season you may rise.
4. Throw your feather beds out of
the window, or put them where you
will not see them again till December.
For feathers, take the following substi-
tutes; first, because best, the inner
husks of the corn, cutting off the hard
end next the cob, dividing the husk
lengthwise into several slips by hatch
ell, by the hand, or by strong iron
comb; second, hair third, straw. The
husks, or straw may be put loosely
into sack, OF made into a matrass (:
the. latter mode is best. No young per-
son should ever sleep on feathers, and
then old ones will not wish TO.
S. Adapt your clothing to the season ;
too much or too little are both and
equally bad.-Leave the body wholly
free from pressure or restraint.
6. Subject the passions to reason, and
selishness to justice.
7. Preserve the appreciation Of your
own mind.
8. Wash your skin locally, more or
less, every day,--and generally, at least
thrice week.
9. Never waste the resources Of 4

you feel and all you know about your

Dress.-Taste is as requisite in dress, as

There is much art in knowing the colour
