AGRICUL T U R A l..
s1o.Ns OF ApooR FARmER

He grazes his moving land late in the
spring. Some Of his cows are much past
their prime. He neglects to keep the
dung and ground from the stills Of his
building. He sows and plants his land
till il is exhausted, before he thinks Of
manuring. He keeps too much stock,
and many of them are unruly. He has
a place for nothing, and nothing in its
place. If he wants chisel or ham,
mer, he can not find it. He seldom does
anything in stormy weather, or in an
evening. You will often, perhaps. hear
of his being in the barroom, talking of
hard times. Although he has been on a
piece of land twenty years, ask him for
grated apples, and he will tell you ne
could not raise them, for he never had
any luck. His Incidence and careless
ness subject him to many accidents. His
plow breaks in his hurry to get in his
seed in season, because it was not housed;
and in harvest, when he is at work on a
distant part Of farm, the hogs break into
his garden, for want of small repair In
his fence. He always feels in hurry,
vet in his busiest day ne will stop and
talk till he has wearied your patience
He is seldom neat in his person, and gen.
orally late at public worship. His chill
dren are late at school, aud their books
are torn and dirty. He has no enterprise,
and is sure to have no money. or if ne
must have it, it makes great sacrifices to
use il; and as he is slack in his pay
ments, and buys altogether on credit, he
purchases everything at dear rate. You
will see the smoke come out OF his CHM
new long after daylight in winter His
horse-stable is not daily cleansGi, nor his
horse curried. Boards, shingles. and
clapbonrds nre to be seen off his build
ings, month after month, without being
replaced, and his windows are full OF rags.
He feeds his hogs and horses with whole
grain. II the lambs die, or the wool
comes off his sheep. he does not think il
is for want of care or food He is gen.
orally great borrower, and seldom re-
turns the thing borrowed. He is poor
husband, poor father. poor neighbor,
a poor citizen. and a poor christian

SLAVERY IN THE M. E. CHURCH.
There seems to be one kind of oppression
upon which | have yet seen but little
written.-Slavery annuls mans con-
conscience, or makes him yield it up to
his superiors. The kind of slavery we
aim at here, exists as much in the free as
in the slave states and is exercised over
portion of the ministers and officers of
the M. E. Church. The Bishops are pro-
slavery men, the Editors ditto. and the
preachers in charge the same. The rea.
son for this is as follows At their Annu-
al Conferences, they will get up the alb
clifton question in some shape, and get a
decision. They see who are on the pro.
slavery side of the question, and the Bish
op proceeds to appoint the elders and
preachers in charge, Of the pro-slavery
party. The preachers in charge appoin
the stewards and class leaders of their own
party. The preachers that are abolition
| lists, are put on the circuit under the pro
slavery senior preachers. So the min
listers, stewards, &C., know they mast give
up their consciences, or their offices
The preachers must be pro-slavery men
or be put under them that are so. How
most obsequiously this church bow
down tolhe shrine and dictation of slavery
Will not the whitening curse of God fol

.yO the citizens of the Uniied States
and the Canadas is respectfully sub
mitted this Directory to the means for re-
gaining that which has been partially,
and in some instances, totally lost.
What blessing should be priced above
that Of health, and who knows better how
TO prize the blessing, than those who have
been deprived of it? 1t is an old adage,
land one that contains wise injunction,
Sin time of peace, prepare for war;
We should in time of Health prepare for
the attacks of that stealthy lurking foe,
Disease. 1t would be wisdom to observe
his movements, to scan we'll the form in
which he approaches, and then to meet
him with those means which are calculat-
ed to effect his overthrow. Those
means are now before this enlightened
and intelligent community. They are ac-
cessible to the poor as we'll as the rich.
and | trust that those who regard the
Constitution of man as one of the finest
specimens OF Divine workmanship, and
the Laws by which that System is govern
ed and directed, as originating in no other
than in the councils of Heaven, will so
| far obey the injunctioas of the latter as TO
provide the best safeguard for the former.

Zida turned her intense gaze from the
pallet of straw in anguish, as the first
CLEAN of twilight stole in her cabin door.
The stars-.those quiet, soothing compan-
ions of the desolate watcher-were fast
gathering themselves into aurora's bright
curtain the mists were looking up be-
fore her majestic presence the unbound
zephyrs were lifting into fresh life the rich
foliage. and bearing up the free mathis of
Gods unconscious creation. Zida sighed,
for she knew, that the next sound would
be the morning salutation of Gods ratiun-
al creatures,-already it comes-along
the brakes, and by the cabins of the
weary hearted ones-the horn! the driv-
er's horn startling from its unquiet dream
ing the spirit of man! Dropping with
ACCOUNTING thoughts and unrested limbs,
Zida again kissed the feverish brow OF
her baoe, and again made her way to the
door, and again did her heart fail her to
go forth, as she turned TO look upon her
dying boy. In vain would she stay the
rending of those heart strings The mon

watched all the long night by the sick one

for rest. But Zida stood with the rest O.
her fated race, and the toll of her limbs

guish that gushed from her breaking
heart. Conld she, dared she expect agar

LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.-To restore
woman from the debasement to which
physical heather might have crushed her ;
to destroy contempt for the poor, and to
award crown of honor to useful labor !:
to bind the oppressive burden inflicted on
the apprentice, and 10 elevate the working
MUD TO her proper place, to the parIor,
the equal table, and equal society of her
employers to exterminate from earth, the
impious spirit of Caste, in all its innumer-
able forms, so the superior virtue alone
shall give superior honor-are accom-
plishments which the genius of the Cos
pei pledges itself to perform, as well as to
pluck asunder the heavier chains under
which the chattled slave is gasping. And
while absolute slavery is already exter-
minated from some entire nations, and
from q. part of this, these expressions of
Caste still abound all over the world.
Even that portion of mankind which as
sumes to be the Church of the living God,
is full of them as the very bed-chambers
of Egypt were of frogs. And of the
nominal Church, there is not, perhaps,
any class that exercise this spirit more
than the very ministry itself These things
we feel bound to rebuke. II will be an OBJ
ject OF this paper, as " Disciple" of Him
whose spirit, and life, and every precept is
a rebuke to Caste in any of its forms, to
vindicate his religion from the libelous i'm
pulation cast upon it by those who profess
TO live under its influence, and yet prac.
tice the diabolical spirit Of Caste, even set
ting forth that abomination among those
things which they denominate the sane
titles of religion. We advocate the doc
trine of Him who declares, "All We are
brethren.
