BARLEY.

Barley cannot be cultivated to advantage
upon stiff, heavy and wet grounds, or on
such as are Of a cold and tenacious quality.
This crop occupies the ground but about
three months; and it Il only in a dry, light,
mellow soil, that its roots can extend with
sufficient facility, and supply the food ne
ceslary to bring the grain to rapid and per-
fectmaturity.
Clops that precede this grain, should be
suchas leave the ground mellow, and free
from weeds and for this reason hoed crops
are to be preferred, such as turnips. pota-
toes, peas, beans, &c. Small grains should
not pTecede it; they improverish the soil,
and leave it foul.
Manure should not be applied to the bar
ley, but to the preceding crop. The short
period that this grain occupies the ground,
does not afford time for the manure to de-
compose and yield its food to the plants A;
and if applied in excess, it causes a too
rank vegetation, and the straw lodges be-
fore the grain is matured.
Where barley follows q root or hoed
crop, one ploughing will generally suffice
but in all cases complete pulverization of
the soil is necessary. | SOW as soon as the
ground is sufficiently dry in spring. The
young grain is not hurt by the ordinary
trosts of the latter part of April and May.
L SOW from six to- eight pecks per acre, &C
cording to the richness of the soil and the
torwardness of the season; the poorest
ground and the latest sowing requiring the
m9stseed. In England the common. 6l1an-

weak solution of nitre, the crude kind OF

by the quantity. Barley is known to be ripe
by the disappearance of the reddish cast
on the ear, or what the English farmers
term red roam, by the ears beginning to
droop and bend themselves round against
the stems, and by the stalks becoming
brittle and of yellowish color This is
the particular period for cutting, as if suf-
tered to stand longer the heads break off
and the grain wastes, with the slightest
touch And it may be cut with the cradle,
sickle or scythe, according to circumstan-
ces.
Barley improves for mailing by lying till
October before it is threshed; though it is
often threshed Immediately from the field.
The average product i'll England is stat
ed by Donaldson at thirty-two bushels per
acre. The product in New York varies
from fifteen to seventy. bushels, according
to season and soil and l think the e>ss,
age is somewhat short of that % ureat
Britain. Compared with wheat, iCs prod
uct is as two or two and half to one
compared with oats, about equal, provided
the soil is adapted to this grain.

ON THE WORKS OF NATURE.

The contemplation of the Works of Ma
ture is the noblest employment of man. In
this we find ample range for all the wan
behring's of thought, and behold, in our little
reach of human Imagination, the perfec
tons of great and glorious Being see his
creative and omnicient power, and the i'm
measurable extension, of his heavenly man
dates. We view the universe in all its va
riety and beauty, and dwell with admira-
ton on the goodness of the Creator, who
has so wonderfully adapted all changes to
our peculiar circumstances but, when we
raise our eyes beyond this little speck, we
are led to eXclaim that all things speak a
God"-we see the rolling orbs around us,
and perceive the sun, the centre of all or
der and harmony, radiating his effulgent
beams, dispensing light and heat to the re-
volving planets, to each in proportion to
their respective distances, and all nature
smiling from the influence of his benignant
rays. This respondent luminary, thus sur
rounded by his celestial spheres within
their proper orbits, we find is still encom-
passed by other systems, which, too, may
be inhabited by rational beings; for where
can omnicient wisdom end !? When the
mind thus takes its fight beyond the scenes
of earth, we fall into immensely, and are
lost in boundless space, in infinite progress
sion! To the earth by double revolution,
he has given day and night, and caused
successfully all the varieties of the sea-
sons-the fascinating charms of spring, the
sultry beams of summer, the blasts of au-
tumn, and the chilling, unwelcome frosts of
winter. Yet his goodness is not confined
to us (; as far as the eye can reach, we
trace his watchful guardianship, and sec
convincing proofs that power, supreme and
incomprehensble, exists. In all the earth
ly workmanship of his hands, we see alike
the divine skill, while "the heavens de-
clare the glory of God, and the armament
sheweth forth his handy work." When we
contemplate the designs of the Almighty,
the simplicity and harmony with which all
his purposes are accomplished, how arc we
lost in admiration, and all our boastcd

ADVICE TO A YOUNG LADY.

Young woman, whose conduct is marked
with Strict honor and principle, cannot have
mann admirers. There is nothing that
more certainly marks a bad heart and de-
PRAYED moral principle, or worse, thor
ough restitution of it, than this cruel and
guilty encouragement of honorable love.
A young man is never long attached to a
young lady without her being aware of it (;
commonly indeed before he is himself a
ware of the nature and extent OF his feel

that she cannot reciprocate his sentiments,

till it has taken root in the heart, and its
destruction is attended with the extinction

MOSCOW.
You are eager to learn something of this
singular city and l feel happy in giving
you that knowledge; because from our
long intimacy, can make objects familiar
to your eyes, which another person might
not render visible.
There is nothing more extraordinary in
this country than the transition of the sea-
sons. We have no Spring. Winter van
ished, and, summer is This is not the
work of week, or a day, but of one in
slant; and the manner of it exceeds belief
We came from Petersburgh to this place,
en- trainau. The next day the snow was
gone. April Sth at noon, the snow beat in
our carriage windows. The same evening,
arriving at Moscow, we had difficulty in be-
ing dragged through the mud to our lnn.-
The next morning the streets were bare,
all carriages on wheels, the windows
thrown open, the balconies filed with spec
tators, and for several days past, the streets
have been dusty, and we have, i'll the shade,
twenty three degrees of heat OF Celsius
thermometer.
Fortune loves chance, and by one of
those chances, we arrived here at the sea-
son of the whole year in which Moscow is
most interesting to strangers.-Moscow is
every thing extraordinary-ind disappointing
your expectations, and in surprising them
exciting wonder and derision-pleasure and
regret. We are now in the midst of the
Paques; which is here celebrated with a
pomp and festivity unknown to the rest of
Europe.-The most splendid pageants of
Rome do not equal the grandeur or costli-
ness of the church ceremonies neither can

want to conduct you to the gates of the
town, and thence through the streets. You
see its numerous spires glittering with
gold, amidst dones and painted palaces, in
the midst of an open plain, for several
versts before you reachit. Having passed
the gates, you look about and wonder what
has become of the town, or where you are,
and are ready to ask when shall we get 10
