1 striking motive into the erucibIe. perceive the object oftheir study, taking new form. entering disenDbodied an unknown state of existence. and receiving powers adapted io its laws and nudes of intercourse. We have 10 proof that the sciences, to which innrs ot labor have been devoted. will sur- yive the tomb. But the improssior they have madO-the dispositions they have nurtured-tho good or evil they have heln- ed to stamp upon the soul, will 70 win ir 10 eternity. The adoring awe. the deen humility, inspired by the study of the plan- nts and their laws-the love of truth, which he cherished who pursued the sciences that demonstrates it-will find response a mong angels and arcl,-ansels. The praise that was learned amid the; melodies of na- ture, or from tic tyre ofconsecrated genius. may pour it's perfected tOnos from Q seraph's harp. The goodness taught in the whole frame of creation, by the flower lifting its honey-cup to the insect. and lhe isaf draw. ing its green curtain round the nnrsing chamber of the smallest bird: by the sure. stream. refreshing both the prass and the hocks that feed on it, the trees. and the master of it's fruits; the tender charity caught from the happiness offhe humblese creature, will be at homo in His presence. who hath pronounced himself tho God of love, The studies, therefore, which we pursne. as the means of intellectnal deliel,t. or the instruments of facquiring wealth and honor among men, are valuable at the close of life only as they have promoted those dispositions which constitute tie bliss Of an unending existence.

Whilst its precepls lead to the highest improvement of this state of proba- tion. its spirit is congenial witi that sffable reward to which we aspire. If is tho preparation for immortality, which should be daily and hourly wrought out, amid all the mutations of time. Afrs. Sigownsy.
 Fodder yoMr COWs.--It is bad economv to allow cows to lose flesh in the fall. There is loss every way--loss of milk- loss of value, if you wish to sell-and equal loss. # you winter the animal yourseli.- She must be recruited in cold weather. and consequently under unfayorable eircuu.- stances. or she comes out poor and compar-t atively valuless, in the spring. It viIl cost less to keep her in good condition, when once she is so, than to raise her after che has run dowD-and then, ell the milk you get more, is clear gain-besides, your COW, IS much less exposed to disease--and if she should chance to get her leg broken. sha is beef. II is good economy, as general th'ngsto keep cows and oxen constantly fie tor oeef. ln order to do this, as grass grows short, or frost bitten, unless you have plen- " otroots, pumpkins or apples. they skeuld he fed with hay. once a day at least. My cows eat more than one third az much hay. or other extra fodder, in October, e in Jan nary. And they need it. Last year. | commenced foddering them about tho mid- de of Seps.--VERMoNr FARMER.
