From he New Glncsac Farmer.
FARM-RS' DAUGHTERS AND
HOMES.

NcSsrS. IaiiOrS:-ln remarking on the
causes OF u%uhappiness and discomfort among
educated farmers daughters, and the reasons
which lead 50 many Of them TO iOrsakc their
homes and seek a residence in the city, | be-
ore attempted to show that Z wroHg system
Of cIncati0a is one Of the most fruitful causes
ofthcsc evils. My object at this time is 70
show that miS-educalion is by no means the
only cause and to inquire whether our fath-
crS and our homeS are not often as much to
blame in tie matter as our teachers and SEM
lmarics.
Many of the most respectable farmers new
or enjoyed the advantages ofearly education
and had no opportunity for acquiring a
knowledge Of or taste for, the more refined
comforts oflife F.; especially those intellectual
euioymentS so indispensable to the happiness
ola well cultivated mind, they were brough
up among the pioneers tthis land and their
education consisted of tho tolls and privations
incident to an early settlement in a new
country. But mar they find themselves in
very different circumstances-in possession
ola handsome competency, and surrounded
by an cnterprising and intelligent communi-
~. Public sentiment and the spirit OF the
aye now require that the rising generation
should receive a higher degree Of education
than was formerly deemed necessary and
therefore, in order that their children may
appear respectable in this world, and be
qualified to fill their places in society with
credit and advantage, they are sent to the
best schools in the land, and much care and
expense bestowed on their education.
Let us now suppose, as is often the case,
that the daughter otsuch parents spends two
or three years IN "A good boardIng-school
where her mind becomes well stored wit.
valuable learning; her manners and taste
become refined and cultivated, and she i,
every way fitted to adorn society and blcs,
her family and friends, But let her leave
school and return to her home, and unless i
i, different from the majority of farmers
houses in this country, it is not surprising
that she soon becomes unhappy and discon'
leuted, or at least, that she should wish tt
change her situation for one more %congcnia
to her taste and feelings. The reason ofthii
IS obvious when we observe how few farmer,
take any pains TO maize h0Me 0tt'dcfirc-i

knowledge is power it is wealth; it is re-
spcctablllty ; it is happiness it cndures with
life. The mind may be likcncd TO the soil.
Both are given to be improved and the
measure of our enJoymcnts, and the welfare
of society depend upon the good or bad cul-
turc we bestow upon them. Incidence may
be compared to the coarse marsl, plants
which feed upon the soil and faint the air,
without yielding anything useful in return,
for man or beast ;-intcnperancc, to broken
down fences, which permit beasts to enter and
consume the earnings ofindustr y, aud beg
gar the offspring of the owner obligation,
to the thorns and thisllcs which rob the soil
OF IFS fertility, and mar the beauty of the
landscape. While, on the other hand, the
faithful application of knowledge 10 the pur-
poses OF life may be likencd to the draining
and manuring which give fertility to the soil;
the good habits which We establish, to the
good culture, bestowed by the husbandmanps
indicative alike of chccrtulness and plenty
and the embellishments of the mind in litcra-
turc, science and taste, to the gardens and
grounds Astounding in all that is grateful
to the senses, which would surround and
adorn our rural dwellings, and beautify til,

me that | was mdcb ed to the salt, &c. for
the abundance oflruit on the trees done in
March, by its rctarding vegetation; and from
an experiment made in ~, it appeared to
be the case, %tl,ougl, | have never consider
cd it Of sufficient importance to repeat it
for the purpose Of testing 1t further.
In regard to the best time to make this APP
plication, | would say about the first of April
aud to those trees having worms in them,
again in June or September, as the appear
ancc of the worm may indicate its necessity,
using about two thirds of the usual quantity
for the June or September dressing, and to
be used only in contact with the trunk Of the
ticc. have not discovered any great bcnc-
fit from sowing it broadcast over the orchard
every year If the tree is injured very
much by the worm, to wash the bark of the
trunk with a solution Of this mixture and
water, might be of service being careful not
to apply too much this should lot prevent
its application in a powdered statc.-To my
trees in the fall and spring, | apply as soon
as done planting in the spring, about one
ounce upon the surface, i'll contact with the
trunk OF the tree, and repeat this quantity
again early in June or September !; the peach
worm at these two last periods being in their
infancy, are destroyed,
In August, after one application Of this
mixture TO my young trees in the spring, |
have taken several worms from off the out
er bark ola tree, bcdded in gum they had
punctured it in a number Of places, but did
not penetrate to do any injury to the inner
bark, while the next tree left without the
above mixture, was nearly destroyed, the in
ncr bark being eaten for more than two
thirds around the tree. 1t might be sup
posed that the salt end salt petre would pro-
ducc instantaneous death, but this is not the
case; | have kept them half covered in a
solution of salt and water, and salt pctre
and water, and in these two articles combin-
ed, for several hours without causing death i;
they will avoid its reproach, and will not re-
main in it unless compelled by necessity,
In compliance with the promise hereto
fore made, ! have cndeavorcd to give in a
bricl manner, my practice on the peach tree
for five years, from which | have no reason
to make a change, but many inducements fol
a continuance of the practice. lfyou con-

ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A SUB
STITJTE.

It's stated in the Nashville (Tcn,) Trader,
that, Tim Greene, now one of the oldest
printers in Virginia, was drafted for service
in the Revolutionary war; but, believing
with Jack Faistatl, that " discretion was tn.
better part of %valor," at the expense Of a
watch aud a pretty round sum of money, nc
procured a substitute, who answered at the
first enrolment to the name, as well as the
place, of Tim Greene. In the first battle
after the enrolment, Grccnc's substitute wa,
killed, and thus the name of the principal
went on the books Of the war department q,

even now alive, have for years received tn,

Not long since, but before Judge Cowen

country I r crimes committed, there happen
ed TO be in one OF the principal hotels in
Montreal, a pompot!s discussion among a
quorum OF British officers, upon the sub
jet Of the imprisonment of Mcleod. And
after turning the subject over and over, and
bringing to bear upon it all LIGHT, evidence,
and sound reasoning that the subject demand

CULTURE OF THE MIND.

The culture Of the mind should engage
your early attention, that you may sooner
profit by its %counsels and its powers. Mind
is the great master power which inStructs,
guides and a%bridges human labor-the grand
source of intellectual pleasure-a faculty
which distinguishes man from brute, and
which as it is more or less cultivated, marks
the gradations in civilized society. Say not
that you have no leisure for this, that your
time is engrossed on providing for your ami
NAL wants. Franklin found time to bcstow
upon bis mind high and useful culture, amid
the cares and labors ofan active mechanics
life. The hours that the aYocations of the
