AGRICULTURAL.
From che gNesO-E England Farmer.

HWCS CO young ENTWeTS.-COnSlder your calling the most elevated and the most important; but never be above it, nor be afraid of the frOck and the apron.
 Put off no business which ought and can be done to-day, until tomorrow.
 As soon as the spring opens and the frost is out of lhe ground, put your fences in order.
 Plant no more ground than you eau well manure and cultivate to advantage.
 Never hire man to do piece of work which you can do yourself.
 Every day has it's appropriate duties, attend to them in succcsSion.
 Keep no more stock than you can keep in good order, and that of the best kind.
 Never ..run sa1o sle5a," without. a rea- sonable probability of solving it at the time agreed.
 Remember that economy and industry are the two great pillars, the Jachin and BOaz of the farmers prosperity.
 Should you take the Nev-England Fur nser, or any other periodical journal, pay for it in advance.
 Never carry your notes in your pocket book, as the desk or trunk is more appro- priate place. Keep them on file and in order, ready to be found when wanted.
 Never buy any thing at an auction, be- cause the article is going cheap, unless you have use for it.
 Keep place for your tools-and your tools in their places.
 Instead of spending rainy day at the dramshop, as many do to their ruin, re- pair whatever wants mending--post your books.
 Should you be fond of tho chase, or the sport with the hook, indulge occasion- ally, but never to the injury of more im- portant concerns.
 By driving your business before you, and not permitting your business to drive you, you will have opportunities to indulge in innocent diversions.
 Never trust your money in the hands of that man who will put his own to hazard.
 When interest or debt becomes due, pay it at the time, whether your creditor wants it or not. Never ask him to 'soait tiU neat Veek, but pay it. Never insult him by saying, ''you do not want it."-- Punctuality is key to every mans chest. By constant temperance, habitual mod crate exercise, and unafTccted honesty, you will avoid the fees of the Lawyer and the Sheriff, gain a good report, and probably add to your present existence, at least, 10 years of active life.
 When friend calls to see you, treat him with the utmost cOmplasance, but if im- portant business calls your attention, poe litely excuse yourself, and he will excuse you.
 Should you think of building house, be not in a hurry, but first havo every ma terial on the spot, and let your cellar be us large as the frame.
 Keep a memorandum. .book-enter all notes whether received or given-all mon- ies received or paid out--all expenses and all circumstances of importance.
 In December reckon and settle with all those with whom you have accounts-pay your shop-bills and your mechanics, if not promptly done at the time, which is the best of all.
 On the first day of every January reck- on with yourself, and reckon honestly bring into view all debts and credits notes and accounts-ascertain to what a. mount your expenses were the last year, and the loss or gain make out fair state- ment, and enter the whole in book for the purpose. Having arrived at this im- portant knowledge, you will initiate the prudent traveller, who always keeps in view where he is next 10 move. You will now look forward, and calculate how and in what way you shall best meet and pros- ecute the business of the ensuing seasons.
 And lastly, when the frost of winter shall lay an embargo on your operations, and the chilling blasts of Boreas shall storm your castle, Ter your freside be paradise, and let the evenings be consumed in social glee, or in the pursuit of useful knowl- edge. AN OLD FARMER.
