PUBLIC SPIRIT.

IODDIO O1lfll.
II is a wise remark of an excellent man and a true
philosopher, that /" Every young should come for
ward in life with determination do all the good he
can and to leave the world the better for his having
lived init" He should consider that he was not made
for himself alone but for society," for mankind and for
God. He should feel that he a constituent, RESPONSE
bic member of the great family of man and while he
should pay particular attention to the wants and the
welfare of those with whom he is Immediately connec
ted, he should accustom himself to send his thoughts
abroad over the wide field of practical benevoence and
early learn to feel and act for the good of his species
say carly because if you do not begin in the MORN
ing of life to cherish public spirit-a spirit of ac
tive, enterprzing benevolence you will probably
possess much of it. This virtue that rarely springs
up life. If it grow and flourish at ALL it must be
planted in youth, and be nourshed by the warm sun
shine and rain of the spring season of life. He who
only for himself in youth, will be very niggard
in manhood, and wretched miscr in oldage.
And consider what poor, miserable kind of exist
ence it is, to live only to ones self 1t is indeed but
half living. Sel6shness has been well termed star
yelling vice." 1t is its curse. He who does no
good, gets none He who cares not for others, will
soon find that others will not for him. As he
lives to himself, he will die to HIMSELF and nobody
will miss him, or be sorry that he is gone.''
In truth, the only envIable remembrance is that
which is bestowed on the man the actions of whose
'iiS nav DCch PIoipteu ny d true puOttc SFTU. MOI
that feeling of small minds, msnamcd public spirit,
enanatng from seshness and manifested by noise and
hustle; but that wise benevoence which silently but
determinatey tends to the nourshmen of all around
lt,-whlch is comprehensive enough to embrace the
welfare of nations and sufficiently humble to attend to
the comfort of beasts of burden.
Love OF fame Is often the actuatng principle of pub
lie sprit and accordingly this desire is directed it
produces the true or the false The man who has BY
the introduction of single good regulation into its
rules, become benefactor to the society he moves in
or the village he nhabits, has laid the foundation of
remembrance more solid and enduring than that of the
political demagogue, who has passed his life amid the
tunlults OF public life, and party contention
10 feel and TO manifest proper interest in the az
fairs OF his country, well his temporary place of
residence, IS the duty of every man. But let that in
ierest be proper one examine it WE'LL that no preiu
DICE or selfish love be found the moving spring of it,
Let be extended. Public spirit is stream which bv
widening ITS course Of action loses none of its force
but petty rippes that agate it lost in the cxpan
sion.

Every soveny farmer resigns of the choicest plea
within his reach, that of seeing his house and
home surrounded by the marks of neatness, industry,
and taste. He brings up his family amidst confusion
and presents to his children example of negligence
the most objectionable. Can he wonder If they follow
this example! They will go ftrther.-In their very
partiaitcs they will have vicious preference for what
just taste, good sense and sound economy condemn.
They will regard with less respect the decencies of
lfes and be more like to abandon the paths of virtue
and morality. There is much meaning in the old
adage. and the observance of which, let me urge as
remedy for every degree of the evil advert to-
Have place for every thing, and keep every thing
in its place." In the language of Senerated man.

WINTER FOOD FOR COWS.

NJ. Chabert, the director Of the Veterinary school
at Abort had number of cows which yielded twelve
gallons of milk, every day. in his publication on the
subject, he observes that cows fed in the winter upon
dry substances, give less milk than those which are
kept upon green diet and also that their milk loses
much Of its quality. He pubishod.the following re-

Il appears, from various experiments, NAV he adyan
tageousy given to most animals, in very small ouanti
ties it acts as whet to the appetite, promotes the
secretion of bile, and, in general is favorable TO health
and activity In this way only can it be considered as
preventing or curing diseases unless perhaps in the
case of worms. to which all saline and bitter substances
are known to be injurious.

AGRICULTURAL AXToMs.

In no department is BacoAs celebrated ma Kim more
true, knowledge is power than in regard to agricul-
ture. Hence farmer can be accounted skilfuf in
his profession who does not avail himself of the in
formation to be derived from the experience of others
of husbandry, by the perusa of the abes books which
have been written on the subject 1t is absurd to
imagine that the communication of knowledge BY prin-
ting, which has promoted the advancement of every
other art, should be of no use in agriculture.
Endeavor TO raise good graIn for will ALWAYS sell,
even IN years of plenty, whereas is only dear and
scarce that there is demand for grain of an in
ferior quality.
Let your stock of cattle, horses &c. be of the best
SORT and more remarkable for strength than fashion,
BE not above your profession, and always consider it
as the first that any man can follow.
Admit no 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 can stock and manage TO advantage 1t is bet

AGRICULTURAL.


From the Boston Patriot
1t has been justly said Of the farmers occupation,
that it involves as much SKILL as much interest, and
much honor any object within the range of the at
tention, the action of man. twas certainly mans
first employment, and without doubt the happiest in
which he can he engaged. True he labors hard, and
by the sweat Of his brow earns his bread and this is
common TO most avocations into which manual labor
enters But then he has his season of enjoyment, and
is at all times relieved from the responsibility, anxiety
and the risk OF the merchant the intense applica
ton and fearful solicude of the professional man.
The occupation Of agriculture being steady and
less liable TO the fluctuations experienced in almost
every other vocation, more especially to those imme-
diately dependant commerce, tends TO regu-
lar, simple, and consequently, TO a more moral life.
1t is this favorable tendency of their habits and mode
of living, which has entitled the yeomanry to that
political importance, which attaches to them in almost
every other, but more particularly in this country our
government being founded ON equality of right, and
our institutions recognizing equity the rule Of
duct. The ycomanry were the instruments by which
our independence was achieved; from their bosoms
the republican spirit was transfuscd into our political
institutions; and with them, by whomever assaied,
will rest the defence of those privileges, civil and
llgous, which VIC now eminently enjoy-on their
honesty, intelligence and mness we may always rely
to perpetuate the enjoyment of these privileges.
