Birds.

Don't allow your boys, or your neigh
bors' boys, or any biped who calls him
self man, to be strollirg about your
fields or orchards with gun, popping
away at the beautiful little birds that arc
such eflectual aids in exterminating or
checking the progress ofthe whole race of
miIers, worms, grub, sc. that commit
such depredations on the farmers. Ifyou
allow this vile slaughter of birds, do not
be surprised if your apple tees are strip
ped by the canker worm, your apples des-
troyed by the larvae Of the codiing moth,
your plums by the curculio, your cab
bagcs by the black grub, and your peas
by the pea grub, These little birds are
the farmers best friends. True, they oc-
casionally take, as a reward for their la
Dor, some Of the fruit or seed they have
been so active in preserving, but this is no
more than equal and exact justice. The
person who could dispense with the ear
ly carol o. the song SPARROW, the merry
song of the bobolink, or the sweet notes
of the brown thrush, may possibly be an
honest man, but he has no ear for the
melodies of nature-'he has no music in
his soul. Culiuator.

A Fact.

The ready wit of true-born freshman,
however humble his station, is exceeded
only by his galantry. A few days since,
we observed case in point. A sudden
gust OF wind took parasol out OF the
hands Of its owner, and before we had a
chance to recolect whether it would be
etiquette to catch the parasol Of lady 10
whom we had never been introduced,
lively Emeralder dropped his hod Of
bricks, caught the parachute in the midst
Of its Elssler gyrations, and presented it
to the loser with bow which reminded
us of poor Power. "Fath ma'am," said
he az he did so, "i( you were as strongas
you are handsome 1t wouldn't have got
away from you" (Which shall thank
you for first, the service or your compile
men,?' asked the lady smiling. "Troth
ma'am" said Pat again, touching the place
where once stood the brim of what once
was beaver, "that look of your own
beautiful eyes thanked me for both" If
that bod carrier will issue proposals to
"tache the jontale," we'll do his advertise
ing gratis and head his list of pupils. He
has genius for the thing.

CUSTOM HOUSE

In reply to a remark Of writer for the
United States Gazette, touching the high
handed measure of the Presidents attempt
to remove Mr. Roberts, for refusing to o.
hey an unlawful order, the Madisonlan
uses the following arrogant language:
"Now whether the President has cause
or not, how will it be ascertalned! Has
any civil or other earthly tribunal the
right to demand the cause? If so, then
let the cause be demanded why Mr.. Ro"
berts' predecessor was removed"
This is, indeed, "high life below stairs"
But let us see who would venture to ask
why Judge Blythe, the predecessor Of Mr..
Roberts, was removed. Judge B. was re-
moved by Mr.. Tyler himself; and the rea-
son assigned for mol retaining him, while
there was SO much difficulty in procuring
a successor was, that he had meddlsd in
party politics while in Office. Jonathan
Roberts was, without solicitation, appoint
ed in his place, and because he will not
mcddlc with personal party politics, he
is to be dismissed.--U. S. Gaz.

Filling Orchards.

There are advantages and disadvanla-
ges in tllng an orchard. In tllilng
ground, trees are the most vigorous ant
thrifty, and it seems to be in a measure
necessary to plough few years to give
the young trees start. Yet even al this
period great care is required not to cut
the roots with the plough. But when the
trees have acquired six or eight years
growth, and the roots become extended.
still greater precaution is necessary, or the
injury becomes serious. 1t is not alto
gether the large roots that are so liable to
be cut, for these are often below the plough
but the innumerable fbres that spread in
every direction, which escape the plough
mans notice, but which are literally the
mouths that convey food to the plant
My practice has been, when an orchard
is to be ploughed, to proceed first to dig
the ground sufficiently with the spade,
about the trees, two or three feet in
breadth, and so many yards lengthwise of
the burrows, so that there shall be no balk,
and to run the plough shallow near the
dug part; and when the orchard is in grass
to dig circles round the trees after harvest
both to facilitate growth, and to prevent
injury in winter from moes. There is
no less caution necessary IN using the
spade than the plough, to preserve the
the roots entire. 1t is good practice to
cut the grass close with hoe, and then
to strew rotten chip dung, if mixed with
little lime the better, about the tree.

And at my window bid good-morrow!

Things a Farmer ought not to De.

l. A farmer should never undertake to
cultivate more land than he can do tho
roughly; half TILED land is growing poor
er; well titled land is constantly lmprov-
ing.
2. A farmer should never keep more
cattle, horses, sheep or hogs, than he can
keep in good order, an animal in high Of
der the list of December is already half
wintered.
3. A farmer should never depend on his
neighbor, Tor what he can by care aud
good management produce on his own
iarm-he should never beg fruit while he
can plant trees, or borrow tools when he
can make or buy them--a high authority
has said; the borrower is servant to the
lender.
A. The farmer should never be so i'm
mersed in political matters as to forget to
SOW his wheat, dig his potatoes and bank
up his cellar, nor should he be SO inattcn-
tive 10 them as 10 be ignorant of those
great questions olnatlonal and state policy
which will always agtate. more or less, a
free people.
S. A farmer should shun the doors o!
bank as he would the approach Of the
plague or cholera, banks are for traders and
men of speculation, ana theirs is busl-
ness with which farmers have liulG TO do.
6. A farmer should never be ashamed
of his calling; we know that no man can
be entirely Independent, yet the farmer
should remember, that if any one is said
to possess that enviublc distinction, he is
the man.
z. No farmer should allow the re-
proach Of neglected education to lie a
gainst himself or iamily-il knowledge Is
power, the commencement Of it should
be early and deeply laid in the district
| school.
8. A farmer should never use intoxca-
ting liquors as drink; if, while undergo
ing severe fatigue tnd the hard labor OF
the summer, he would enjoy robust
health, let him be temperate in all things.
8. A farmer should never refuse a fair
price for anything he wants to sell; we
have known man who had several hun
| dred bushels Of wheat to dispose OF, re-
| fuse SIS. because he wanted IS. 3D.. and
and after keeping his wheat six months,
as glad to get is. for it.
10. 4 farmer should never allow his
wood-house to be emptied of wood du-
ring the summer season; if he does, when
winter comes, in addition to cold fingers,
he must expect to encounter the chilling
looks of his wife, and perhaps be compel
led, in a series of lectures, TO learn that
! the man who burns green wood has
not mastered the A B c Of domestic e.
economy.
IL. A farmer should lever allow a
| window to be filed with red cloaks, tat
| tered coats and old hats; if he does, he
will most assuredly acquire the reputa-
ton of q man who tarries long at the
whiskey, leaving his wife and children
to starve at home.--Commcn School AS

POE az,
MAY.

I feel newer lite in every gale;
Tho winds that fan the flowers,
And villa THEN welcome breathing fl! the sail,
Tel Of screAer hours
Ofhonrs that glide unla.t away
Beneath TIC So .. Hay.
The spirit Of the gentle sont'. wind calls
From his blue throne Of air,
And where his whispering voice in music falls,
Ec1uy is budding there;
The bright ones Of the valley break
Their s!Iu!jarS-anl awake.
The waving yerdure rolls along the plain,
And the wide forest wcaves,
To wo~one buck its playful mates lglin,
a canopy Of leaves;
And, from the darkcning shadow floats
A gusA Of trembling notes.
Farcr aal brighter spreads the reign Of May;
The tresscs oflhc woods
With Tie light dalyng of the west wind play
And the WITHDRAWING floods,
IA gladly to the goal they run,
Hail tho returning sun. PEEclyAL.
