Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Mass.) 1828-1830, 1829-09-15

we did not receive our Boston neWspa-
pers till they were day, or day and
half old {; and Saturdays papers were not
received till the Monday following. And
this practice was continued under the an
Client regime, Notwithstanding the head of
f that Office was applied to in writing by
our postmaster, to remedy the evil. No
notice whatsoever was taken of the COM
plant. Now, we receive our Boston pa
pers on the day they are printed, reeking
from the press, and find it quite comfort
to be able to swallow the news and our
breakfast at the same time.
The NEw-ENGLAND FARMERS ALMA
MACK FOR 1880. This Almanack which
has now been published for several years,
and has obtained an extensive circulation
we believe, deserves whatever patronage
it NAV receive. Mr.. Fessenden, the well
known editor of that valuable weekly pa
per The Nev-E England Farmer, has ev-
identity taken much pains with the Alma
mack, to render it deserving Of publick ia
YOUR. We will not say it contains the usu-
al matter of Farmers Almanacks, for on
the contrary it is entirely free from that
trashy stuff, contained in some Of them,
which is of no use either for the amuse-
ment or instruction of the reader. 1t con-
tains, besides the usual calendars, guam
tity Of amusing rhyme for each portion of
the year, of quality sufficiently good for
publication of the kind, descriptive of
the various seasons, with some useful hints
towards the close. We would copy some
OF this, and also the prose, but we suppose
the Almanack will of course be in the
hands of all our worthy yeomen, and of
all others, numerous class. who are desi-
rous of culling some valuable information
in relation to agriculture and horticulture.
The prose, under each month is written
with much pleasantly and good sense, land
abounds in highly important and useful in
struction. The same remark may be al
SO applied to the thirteen subsequent pag-
es of" Agricultural and Rural Economy"
filling up the space that some would de-
vote to stale anecdotes and silly stories,
such as are disgrace to the writer's and
at war with the good taste of the commu-
nifty.
Mr.. Fessenden knows how to be anus
ing we like his humour and agree with
him in the following remarks, viz: " In
The suggestions to Farmers occupying a
part of the calendar pages, as well as the
verses which head those pages, we have,
sometimes, INDUCED in degree ofquaint-
ness, or playfuiness of manner, which
some would-bs-sages, whose faces are
somewhat longer than the ears of the ami
NAL which they most resemble, will con-
denim for its want of dignity, &c. But
gravity is often the badge, as we'll as the
cloak of folly, and wisdom is never more
attractive than when arrayed in the garb
of humour." Of all the asinine gentry
we abhor most the grave and solemn fool.
1t is worse entity than the prude, the
dandy, or the pedant, worse even than a
silly good natured fool. In fine let all who
can get few cents in any way, that is
honestly, buy Mr.. Fessenden's Almanack;
and they will be repaid an hundred fold
by the large amount of entertaining and
instructive matter contained in its pages.
Look TO YOUR TEETH. In man or
,0Oman, bat far most in woman, there is
scarcely any thing so offensive as bad
teeth. If man has bad breath, it is
best to keep to the soindtoard of his ac-
quaintance--ifo one of the less robustious
sex-but there our heart fails us and we
cannot advise Neither is it well to re-
late experiences--as that you have seated
yourself by the side of one who has the
form of an angel, with rosy lips, beaming
eyes, fine complexion, and expression, and
while indulging in the most pleasing fan
cies, you are at once filled with horrour
as the opening lips bring to view dark
ranges of Wondering monuments which
send forth miasm, worse than pestilen-
tial vapours. How suddenly you stop
your breath and turn away in disgust
Now so far forth as this is the conse-
quence of disease, nothing should be said.
But in nine cases out of ten it has not that
