In no department is Bacon's celebrated maxim
more true. e. knowledge is Power,') than in regard
10 agriculture. Hence no farmer can be accounted
skiltul in his profession who does not avail himself
OF the information to be derived from The experience
OF others. and who does not improve his knowledge
OF husbandry by the perusal of the ablest works
which have been written on that subject. II is alb
surd to imagine, that the communication OF knowl-
edge by printing, which has promoted the advance
ment OF every other art, should be OF in ag-
ricuure.
Endeavor to raise good grain, for it will always
sell, even in years of plenty; wheras it is only in
dear and scarce seasons that there is demand for
grain of an inferior quality.
Let your stock of cattle, horses, sc, be of the
best sorts and more remarkable for real utility than
for beauty or fashion.
Be not above your profession, and always consider
i; as the FIRST that any man can follow.
Admit guest into your house, who cannot live
upon the productions OF his own country.
No farmer ought to undertake TO cultivate more
land than he stock and manage TO advantage. II
better to till 90 acres WE'LL than 100 in sovenly
manner.
A mans owning large farm is no excuse for
imperfect tllage. What he cannot Improve, he
need not undertake to cultivate Most Of our land

WRITTEN I'M AN ALBUM.

For me, oh World no Chaplet weave,
Thy frowns | fear not, and believe
Thy winter smiles, thy summer glow,
Deceptive as retiring snow.
Then not for me thy chaplet weave,
For all thy pleasures but deceive.
Let Beauty, with its eyes of FIRE,
With maddening love the gay inspire
Let tpar in panoply array'd,
unsheath the Chieftain's ready blade:
Let Glory rear its pfumed crest,
And dazzle with its glitt'ring vest:
Yet not for me thy chaplet weave,
Thy smiles are false-thy hopes deceive.
Let the cup of Pleasure teen
With draughts from fair Calypso's stream;
Which shrouds the souls immortal flame,
Beneath the brute degraded frame;
Tho fair the how'rs that here entice,
AL all too costly in the price;
Such Chaplet therefore do not weave,
The flowers decay--the draughts deceive.
Nor weave for me y4nlbttion's wreath,
1t is the bloody mead of DEATH
Asp.like, foul murder nestles there,
Entwined with grim folds Of despair.
And oh weave not the wreath that binds
The brows of sordid, selfish minds,
Like these entwine no wreath for me,
They show too much, oh world, Of thee.
Nor the bright wreath of Riches twine,
Dug from Golconda's purest mine;
Nor dazzling stones, that proudly gem,
An empires envied dadem.
No-twine for me the Christians crown,
Be virtue still my best renown--
And lei the wreath that decks my brow
From pure Religions branches grow.
