Miscellaneous.

'Let this idea dwell in our minds, that
our duties to God and our duties to men,
are not distinct and Independent duties,
but are involved in each other; that de-
yotion and virtue are not different things,
but the same thing, in different points
of propress, or circumstances. or situa.
tons. What we call devotion, for the
.slase of distinction, during its initiatory
and instrumental exercises, is devotion
in its infancy; the virtue, which after a
time it produces, is devotion in its ma
turity the contemplation ofDeity is de-
votion at rest; the execution of his conl-
mands is devotion in action. Praise is
religion in the temple or in the closet |;
industry, from sense of duty, is religion
in the shop or field; commercial integrity
is religion in the mart; the communica-
ton ofconsolalion is religion in the cham

Plain and pity remarks of old Hum
phrey on fits.

etsssash nc doctor, I have by me
some excellent prescriptions, and as j
shall charge you nothing for them, you
cannot grumble at the price. We are
,AJs, OF US subject to fits; | am visited
by them myself; and l dare soy you
are also :-now, then, for my pre-
scriptions.
For a fit Q passion, walk out in
the open air you may speak your
mind to the winds, without hurting "a
ny one, or proclaiming yourself to be
simpleton.
For fit q idlensss, count the tic
kings Of a clock. Do this for one
hour, and you will be glad to pull off
your coat the next, and work like a
grubber.
For a fit Of extravaganza and fol
ly, 60 TO the work house, or speak
with the ragged and wretched inmates
ofthe Jail, and you will be convinced /:
Who makes his bed of briar and thorn.
Must be content to lie forlorn.
For a tit of ambition, 60 into the
churchyard, & read the grave stones.
They will tell you the end of ambi-
ton. The grave will soon be your
bed-chamber, the earth your pillow,
corruption your father, and the worm
your mother and your sister.
For a i'll Of repining, look about for
the halt and blind, and visit the bed
ridden and afflicted, and deranged, &
they will make you ashamed of com
planning Of your lighter Affections.
For a fit Of dependency, look on
the good things which God has given
you in this world, and at those which
be has promised to his followers in the
tss. He who goes in his garden to
look for cobwebs and spiders, no doubt
will find them while he who looks
for a flower, may return into his house
with one blooming in his bosom.
For all fits Of doubt, perple1ity and
fear, whether they respect the body
or the mind; whether they are load
to the shoulders, the head or the heart,
the following is a radical cure, which
may be relied on, for l had it from the

The Editor Of the Genesee Farmer,

the following from the British Farmers
Magazine. 81 always feed my pigs
on sour food which l have invariably
found to fatten them faster, and make
the flesh firmer and whittier than when
given in any other state. The pote-
toes are steamed, and while quite hof.
are beaten to pulp, and mixed with
bran in the proportion of 20 lbs. Of
bran to 24o lbs. Cor nearly A bushels. J
This mixture is put into vat to remain
ten or twelve days, until quite sour. L is
then fit for feeding. If the quantity
of meal is greater than the potatoes
will moisten, water should be added
to make thick paste. But il must
never be given until fermented."
