"eextract the following very excel
lent article from the Peoria I'LL. Regis
! ter:
Col. b. has one of the best farms on
the Illinois river. About one hundred
acres OF II are now covered with waving
corn. When it first came up in the
spring the crows seemed determined on
lis entire destruction. When one was
Killed, 1t seemed as though dozen
came TO its funeral. And though the
sharp crack Of the rifle soon drove them
away, they always returned with its
echo.
The Colonel at leng.n became weary
oil throwing grass, and resolved in try
ing the virtue in stones. He. sent to
the druggists for gallon of alcohol, in
which he soaked few quar's Of corn
and scattered it over his field. The
black legs came and partoo!; with their
usual relish; and, as usual, they were
pretty well corned; and such cooling
and cacEiing--suck strultng and stag

WheI the boys attempted to catch
them, they were not little amused at

through the air. At length they gaired
the edge Of the woods, and there being
joined by new recruit, which happen

their voices, in MISUNDERSTANDING aad

alcohol. 1t was difficult to tell which as

Things a Farmer ought not to do,

lleman.
Things a Farmer ought not to do
|. A Farmer should never undertake
10 cultivate more than he can do thor
oughIy half titled land Is growing
poorer-when we'll tiled;is constantly
improving.
2. A Farmer should never keep more
cattle, borses, sheep or hogs, than he
can keep il good order; an animal in
high order the first Of December is al
ready half wintered.
3. 4 Farmer should never depend on
his neighbor, fer what he can, by care
and good management, produce on his
own farm; he should never beg fruit
while he can plant trees, nor borrow
tools when he can make or buy; high
authority has said the borrower is a
servant 10 the lender. %
4. The Farmer should never be so
immersed in political matters as to for
gel to SOW his wheat, dig his potatoes
und bank up his cellar; nor should he be
soinaltentive to them as TO be ignorant
of one OF those great questions OF nation
al and state policy which will always
agtate, more or less, q Tree people.
5. A Farmer should avoid as much
as possible doing business through the
agency Of banks or moneyed inslitu-
lions; the earth is the best bank of de-
post, and yields the most sure and sub
staniial interest. .-,<.
6. a Farmer should never be aaham-
ed 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 enviable dis
tinction he is the man.
7. No Farmer should allow the re-
proach ofnegect Of education to lie a
gainst himself or family; if knowledge
is power, the beginning should be early
and deeply laid in the district school.
8. A Farmer should never use ar
dent spirits as drink; If, while under
going severe fatigue and the labor OF
the simmer, he would enjoy robust
health let him be tee-lotaller.
8. A Farmer should never allow his
wcod house TO he empty Of wood during
the summer season; if he does, when
winter comes, in addition TO cold he must
expect TO encounter the chilling looks of
his wife, and perhaps be compelled in a
series of lectures, to learn that the man
who burns green wood has not master
ed the first rudiments Of domestic econ
omy.
10. A Farmershcoid never allow a
window 10 be illed with red cloaks, tat
tered coats. and &C hats; il he does, he
will most assprediy acquire the reputa-
ton of "a man who taffles long at The
whiskey. leaving his wife and children
10 starye at home.
IL. A Farmer ought to subscribe Tor
one or more newspapers; that himself
and family may be intelligent, and ac-
quainted with all the events TRANSPORTING
around them, for knowledge,is wealth,
power and happiness. And while he
reads his paper in the midst Of plenty
let him remember that the printer who
labors for his comfort, will also want
/ food and raimeGt.
1t has been truly remarked that many
a man has blown his brains out with a
brandy bottle. There is suicide in 8

Schea hausen, it leapsd in twin cascades OF fiery
food sheer down into The gulf of desolation that
yawned below. Occasionally We could see huge
rocks spou,ed out from this fall OF fire, and shot
away in separate masses into the rayine, thunder
ing along the blocks of old lava in the Val del
Bove, into which this fresh stream poured, stretch
ing, like strings Of burning beads along the distant
snow When the first excitement which this sight,
horribly beautiful, produced had partially Sub
sided, We began to feel the pinching cold insufer-
able. Our feet were stony, as if all circulation had
departed, and on di.mounting from our nuies it
was with great difficulty that We could stand. In
deed, no wonder, for we were within a few hun
dred fee, of the line of perpetual snow and the
wind, though happily very mederate, cut through
US like razor, bringing water 10 cur eyes and
freezing our ears and noses. Bat any temporary
suiierings, any toll, would have been amply repaid
by the splendor and nagnifcence OF the majestic
sight upon which we were gazing. Ii is pleasant

NAS-ucKEr.-This Island is 18 miles long, and
from 5 to 10 in breadth. II is perfect sand ele-
vation, covered with light SOIL and n,erspersed
with here and shere extensive swamps of peat
The whole surface is fiat, and greatly resembles
the vast prairies of the West, except the grass.
There is nothing like grove upon the Island, and
but very few trees OF any kind almost all Of which
are in the town. Scrub oaks abound in many
places, but they seldom reach the hight OF three
feet, as they are continually subject 10 the browsing
OF 6,OOO sheep. which are kepsin common en- these
unfsrced wastes. There can be no doubt that
forest oaee covered this Island, as there are many
indications OF it, and from the fact that Marihs's
Vineyard and other neil ghborns Islands are covered
in many places with quite heavy growth of oak
and pine Fruit-trees can never be raised here
ndvaEtageonsly, as ,he sea-blass sweep the entire
extent OF the Island with unbroken ferce.
