VINEGAR,

|rbe method of making this liquid out
Eider, vine, &c. is too generally known
need any description but it is not SO
bcrally known that very sharp vinegar
\ also be made out of whey. The
Ebod of making it, as described Mr..
lief. is very simple. After having
Flied the whey, it is poured into casks
A some aromatick plants, or elder bios
i, [as suits the fancy] and exposed in
Il air to the sun, where it soon acquires
degree of acidity." Vine
NAV also be made from the juice of
erberries, mixed with suitable proper
! Of water, and exposed to the sun, as
bre mentioned. 1t may also be made

btly: or from the juice of beets, car

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

1t is surprising how lightly the obIiga-
tons of strict honesty seem to set upon
many persons who would fain be consider
ed very good men. If they wish to sell
an article, they appear to suppose that an
erroneous statement concerning it, or at
least concealment of its defects, is per.
fectly admissible; and when the bargain
is completed and the writings signed, if
the purchaser demonstrates, they will laugh
at him to his face. If they have incurred
an honest debt, which by some quirk of
the law it is possible to evade, they will
postpone it and postpone it, and probably
never pay it at all. If mistake has oc-
cured in their favour, they will never rec
tify it. Nay, there are men who profess
better things, whom if you entrust with
the collection of monies or other confden-
tial business, it is extremely doubtful
whether the proper returns will ever be
made, unless you pursue them continually
with the glance of your eye. In short, we
believe there are some pious men, who
have formed such habits of carelessness
and negligence, that the less you have to
do with them the better.
We mention these things, not because
we have suffered more from dishonesty
than many others; but because we view
its opposite as a part of Christian morale
ty. A dishonest Christian is a contradict
ton in terms. And we are anxious to
impress it upon our readers, and also upon
ourselves, that in all pecuniary transact
tons, if we practice fraud, under whatever
guise, and however intangible by the law,

POTATOES.


!, me Chevalier Payen has lately nob-
llshed an Svo Treatise on the Potato He
enumerates twenty-nine uses to which th;s
plant may be applied. Among the n ,sas
not generally known, it is stated that afier
being frozen, they may be made into INTO
starch or distilled into spirits. With one
third part of flour they may be made into
bread. With the flour Of potatos. pastry
vermlceilI, rice, and tapioca may be made
v, With stucco they form an improved plaster
Iney form wash on their plaster for
buildings, which may be coloured with
ochre, SCOT, &c. Roasted brown and
burnt, they make very good coffee
Crushed, they are employed in whiteninc
linen and other cloth. The water exnress,
ed from them is rapid promoter Of the
termination of seeds. The fecula with
sulphurick acid, is converted into svrrn
from which moist sugar is made. Mixed
with SCOT, &c. this syrup makes an admir-
Bile backing. The water of the Young
tubers affords a gray, and the blossoms
furnish beautiful yellow, die. &c.

From HaaoeS Lectures to the Young Men Of Hart
ford and Ne,o- Haven.
ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
CULTIVATION OF The MIND.


Another requisite for meeting the
claims Of society is intelligence, or care
full cultivation of your minds. In despot-
lex governments, where the subject is a
mere vassal, and has no part either in
making or executing the laws, ignorance
is, no doubt, as the advocates of legitima-
cy claim, an essential qualification of a
good citizen. The less he knows of his
rights. the more contented he is to be de-
priyed of them; and the less he Under
stands Of duty, the more pliable he is as
mere instrument of ambition and power.
Not so in this country. Here every man
is a publick man. He has an interest in
the community, and exerts an important
influence over the interest of Others. He
is freeman and this ought always to
mean the same thing as an intelligent
man. He possesses the right of suffrage;
and in the exercise of that right, he is
often called to aid in the election of rul-
ers: to deliberate and act respecting the
nublick welfare; to fill Offices of influence
and trust. and to perform innumerable
duties in the course of life. which can be

it is done al the peril of our souls. If we
are entrusted with another mans business,
and, because it is another's, leave il to
suffer through procrastination or careless
ness, we commit fragrant breach of the
law of love, and expose ourselves to the
Indignation of Heaven.
This parleying with temptation is d
dangerous thing. The man who would
approach as nearly as possible to the
bounds Of possible dishonesty, will do well
to take heed lest he die in the State-Prison
or on the Gallows.--N Y. Observer.
