USEFUL RECEIPTS.

How TO PASS FOR WISE MAN.-Ask q
question which you cannot answer yourself and
if the questioned replies confidently, you may
suppose that he has answered right and then You
can tell him so. If he cannot answer, smile al
his ignorance, and he will think that you, ol
course, know, but do not choose to tell
When you hear man converse learnedly and
wisely upon some topic with which you are Who'll
ly unacquainted, wait patiently till he has done,
and then turn to one of the company with sar-
castle smile, and ask the time of day. 1t follows
as matter of course, that you might overturn
all that has been said, if you thought it worth
your while.
How TO GAIN POPULARITY. Never have an
opinion of your own--neyer frown at vice, nol
smile upon virtue in distress-unless you DO SO In
concert with the majority, By practising gen.
erosity, sincerity, patriotism single-handed, you
cannot avoid being out Of tune with the world.

AGRICULTURE.

! To solicit his mother earth for lile's sustenance
by the wholesome process of tillage has ever been
the most natural and honorable occupation of
man. The great Creator has designated the earth.
not only as the common receptacle of the moulder
ing bones and decayed forms of human kind, but
also as their common source OF a'iment and sup
port whilst the vital current continues to flow.
And, as the pursuits of agriculture are the most
universal and natural employment OF our race, SO
it is the most rich in its moral fruits and more
than any other avocation, leads to desirable in
nocence and simplicity of life. Its rural scenery,
:" the pomp of groves, the garnitlre OF fields, all
that the genial ray of morning gilds, all that
echoes to the song of even, and all the dread
magnfcence of heaven" are SO many sublime
incentives to alteration and gratitude.
The season of the year has arrived when
the busy occupations of husbandry going on.
'.When first young zephyr melts the mountain snow.
And spring nnbnds the mellowing moulds below,
Press the deep plough, and urge the groaning team,
Where the wcrn shares, in opening furroas gleam"
It's now the patient earth endures the rake and
harrow and in return for the deep wounds inflicted
on her broad and furrowed vissage, promises an
ample remuneration in those precious fruits that
constitute the life of man and beast. 1t is now
that the hand of industry deposits among the clods
the dry aud withered seeds, which would remain
as unproductive as the salt sown by Ulysses on
the sea shore, but for the kindly blessing of
Heaven.
The true secret of Agriculture, as Cato has long
since taught us, is to ''feed ,oeH." The neglect
of this rule will be fatal to all success in the mat
ter-will brpg disappointment instead of harvests,
and poverty instead of abundance. 1t will be
found universally, that husbandry may be pro-
nounced good or bad according to the observance
or disregard of this rule Let the faithful beasts
Of burden be consigned to leanness, let the low
ing herds pine away for want of sufficient pastur-
age. let all the creatures for mans be left in
meagre, ill-fed forms and no great penetration
will be requisite to portray the character Of such
husbandry. But reverse the picture, and the most
captous and fastidious taste would admit the merit
of the management that could so bless and beau
tify the beasts Of the Northampton Far
|aner.

I TELEaRAPHs.-The Paris correspondent of The
New York Star, gives the following curious in
formation respecting telegraphs it seems that the
two elements, fire and water, have both been pu
in requisition, to furnish the means of communi.
eating intelligence with extraordinary rapidity:-
Electric telegraphs are beginning 10 be the
rage. The other day at Munich, Professor Stien-
heat had the honor of receiving the King at Bo-
genhausser, from which spot galvanic wires were
conducted over the houses and streets of the city,
and the Professor at one end, conversed with his
Majesty at the other A French paper notices
with great triumph, that Arthur Lee in his travels
through France, speaks of French machinist
who had constructed an electrical apparatus, with
the power of transmitting words. Probably the
attention once turned to it, various indications of
such an invention will be discovered, but the
real inventor, is he who applies principle to
purposes of general utility, and has sagacity
enough to perceive the great Importance of its
practical application, and talent enough to over
come the difficulties that obstruct it, It is in this
sense that Fulton was the inventor of steamboats,,
and that as such he is entitled to the applause and
gratitude Of the world. And in this sense. more
over, electrical telegraphs not yet invented
In the meantime, water, which just at this moment
is most aspiring element, threatens to supply
the place of electricity letercarrer.
"A. NJ Wishaw has formed an hydraulic tele-
graph, founded on the principle of the incompres-
sibility of water, and its tendency to find its own
level. He employs for this purpose an open
tube, bent at right angles at either end, and this
being filled with water, every change of level at
one end, will be observable at the other. That
these changes may be more sensible, the tube is
terminated by one of smaller termination, which
being placed near graduated scale, the nuctua-
tions of the column are appreciated. AS these
scales may be of considerable extent, great
number of words may be expressed. M. Wshaw
has succeeded in expressing 1900. The change
of level is effected either by the pressure of a
piston at one extremity, or the application of a
forcing pump, or even by carefully pouring in
measured quantities Of water This account, not
very intelligent one, give as find it.
