ART OF LYING HgppUY.

The following maxims, or rules Of ac-
ton, might, if strictly observed, go far 10
increase the happiness, or at least 10 di-
mlnish the inquietudes and miseries OF
life -
Observe inviolably, truth in your words,
and integrity in your actions.
Accustom yourself to temperance, and
be master Of your passions.
BE not too much out Of humor with the
world; but remember it is q world OF
Gods creating; and however sadly il is
marred by wickedness and folly ; yet you
have found in it more comfort than calam-
i:ies, more civilties than affronts; more
instances Of kindness towards you than Of
cruelty.
Try 10 spend your time uscfully, both to
yourself and others.
Never make an enemy, or lose friend,
unnecessarily.
Cultivate such an habitual cheerfulness
of mind, and evenne8s Of temper, as not
to be rufiled by trivial inconvenience and
crosses.
BE ready to heal breaches in friendship,
and to make up differences, and shun Ii
tigation yourself as much as possible ; for
he is an i'll calculator who does not per
ccive that one amicable settlement is bet
ter than two lawsuits.
BE it rather your ambition to acquit your
self well in your proper station than to rise
above it.
Dcspse not small honest gains, and DO
not risk what you nave on the deluslyc
prospect of sudden riches. If you arc in
a comfortable thriving way, keep in it, and
abide your own calling rather than run
the chance of fanother. In word, mind
to I" use the world as not abusing It," and
probably you will find as much comfort in
it "a is most fit for a frail being who is mere
ly journeying through it towards an imInor-
tai abode.

TO PREVENT CROWS FROM MPULLING
UP INDIAN CORN.

Deane's New-England Farmer says
"To prevent birds and vermin from pulling
up the corn, steep some corn IN n strong
infusion of Indian poke. or refuse tobacco,
and scatter it over the ground before the
corn is up. White threads stretched over
field of corn, will prevent crows from n
lighting upon it. But doubt whether
this will deter any other birds" A gen
tleman, in conversation with the Editor,
observed that he had been in the habit for
some years of protecting his young corn
plants from crows, by threads of white cot
ton yarn as recommended by DIR. Deane.
lie says, however. that the threads must
be large, like what spinsters call rope
yarn, or they will not answer the purpose:
Colored threads, or those which are not
large enough to make formidable appear
anec in the eye of crow, will not deter
the sable deprcdators from their work of
mischief. Our informant says he has seen

GREATEST POSSIBLE PRODUCT OF
INDIAN CORN
In an Essay on the intrinsic value Of
arabic land, written for the agricultural
Society of the county Of New Castle" by
:. A. BLAcK, Esq. We find the following
passage: 81 risk II as an opinion without
any actual experiment to support it, that
as matter of curiosity, it might be possible
to make some fraction of an acre of ground
so deep, and perfect in its soil, as to pro-
duce and maintain TO maturity one stalk of
Indian corn upon every twenty-iour inches
of square surface. If so, and we allow one
good ear to each stalk, and half pint of
grain to each ear, the product would be
about at the rate of one hundred and sixty
eight bushels to the acre.
"This may at first view seem an extra
VACANT idea; yet if we justly estimate the
immense power which land may be made
to exert, and remember that corn thus
closely set, would prevent the growth Of
all eXtraneous vegetable matter, and con
sequently demand but little tilling, the v
pinon may not seem TO be preposterous.
know indeed Of but one insurmounlable
difficulty in the way of this product; the
air and rays of the sun would be nearly or
altogether excluded by the closeness of
the corn thus planted. And yet with such
u soil as is here recommended, even these
might possibly be dispensed with"
The reader viii perceive that this mode
ofplanting Indian corn is merely suggest
ed az an experiment worth the trial, not
recommended as process which expert
ment has tested. The risk of the trial can
be but small; for if the ears should not
come to maturity the plants may be cut up
near the ground at the proper season, and
serve valuable purpose for fodder.
