and more so, when the writer says-"Ne are

The Editors of newspaper, so respectable
as the Phenix, hold strong power over pubic
opinion; many OF their readers take the edlto-
rial paragraph as dictum--others probably
barely glance at the article in question, prepared

differently, decline entering into literary con-

the second is bland-it is classic;-the third is

s'ast, bewildered by waking dreams. he is al least
benevolent one. The last New Harmony Gszet,e
brings another discourse, delivered by Mr.. OWEN
/" at the Sunday Meeting for ins,ruc ion in the New
System" held July l6, 1896. This Discourse com
mences in the following strain:
"Iaving, for years past in divers publications and in

is that anger is not to be entertained, upon apy

and the practical application oil this theory IS stated
in these words:

A TREATISE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE

BY MR.. s. ALEXANDER.

The climate and soil of Pennsylvania are so ex
cellenty well suited to the nature of the Silk Worm.

most beloved food that is 10 be hoped the cuI,iya
ton OF silk throughou: Pennsylvania will continue
TO increase.
The eggs of the Silk Worm, should be kent es.
pecially as Spring advances, in a cold situation
when the Mulberry leaves begin to appear, anv
number OF the eggs may be exposed to the air, un.
less the weather DC cold, and In few days after,
'hey Will produce the young worm When the
eggs are hatched before the leaves come out, the
worms may be ted with young lettuce free from
wet.
The writer has fed them entirely on lettuce. but
he found by doing SO. that the strength and good
ness OF the silk was much diminished.
The worm ought to be put on white paper and
placed on shelves protected from the wind and
weather. Care must be taken to keep insects. es.
pecislly the red ant, and other vermn from the
shelves, which should be unconnecied with The walls
or ceiling OF the building. The worms will require

last eating, four times day. The Mulberry leaves
are to be sprnkled lightly over them Attention
must De paid to have the young worms fed with the
youngest and most tender leaves. When The leaves
are wet with dew or rain, they must be spread out
on cloth or very clean oor dry, before they are
given to the worms. The shelves or boards on
which the worms are placed require to be occasion
any cleaned, particularly in wet weather. This is
easily done alter the worms have been fed, when

A young American was killed by the British cav

by their sabres, that general Washington thought
proper to send i, in for inspection: was carried to
the post o! sir George Osborne, who with much ad

a theme Of considerable nerriment, and the bon
mot OF Sir George was not little applauded' Such
was the treatment of prisoners, and the inhumapi'y
Of the enemy, when Mrs Lewis was subjected to
the unmaniy exercise Of their power.
The properly Of Mr. Lewis was almost sacrificed
on The altar Of patriotism; and the peace which es
tablished The independence Of his country, found
him reduced from afiluence, to nearly state OF po

and the violence of party feeling have endeavour-
ed to blast your fan reputation, and destroy the
confidence reposed in you by the citizens OF the
United States, we rejoice to inform you, that the
people ot the " esiern part OF that state which
