Agricultural improvements in the
United States

Ii is a sign indicative of cheering re-
suits, that, in addition to the number
of Journals established within few
years for the express purpose of pro-
noting agricultural Improvement, de-
partments are allotted now in various
other journals to the dissemination of
intelligence Immediately affecting the
welfare Of the farming community
the leading interest of the nation. The
Boston Courier has usually devoted
much attention to agricultural matters;
and 1t is no disparagcment to the abili-
ty which characterizes all departments
OF that well known newspaper, TO say
thatnone of its columns are probably
read with more interest and profit than
those devoted to "Geoponics,' TO use tho
comprehensive term applied by the
worthy editor tothat department Of his
journal. Other interests scarcely less
worthy ofnote, might be mentioned
though, it must be confessed, the pub,
lie interest would be largely promoted
by greater attention TO the subject on
the part Of our editorial brotherhood
generally.
These remarks are induced now by
the fact that the conductor of the New
York Albion has established an agri
cultural department in his paper. Tho
wide circulation Of the Albion in En-
rope and the British Provinces, as well
as the United States, renders more i'm

family was all oftbem the most passion
ate folks that ever lived, when they
chose and then they could keep in
their temper, and be as cool at other
times as cucumbers. One night, old
Peleg, as he was called, told his son
Gucon, q boy of fourteen years old, To
goand bring backlog for the fire; "A
backlog, yon know, Squire, in wood
fire, is always the biggest stick that one
can find or carry.--lt takes a stout
junk ola boy to lift one.
well, as soon as Gucom goes to
fetch the log, the old Squire drags for
ward the Goals, and fixed the fire so TO
leave bed for it, and stands by ready
TO fit it in its place. Presently in comes
Gucom with little cat stick, no big
ger than his leg, and throws it on. I'm
Gle Peleg got so mad, he never said n
word, but seized his ridin' whip, and
~avo him most an awful whipping.
He tanned his hide properly for him,
you may depend. Now said he, go
sir, and bring in proper backlog
Gucom was clear grit as well as the
old man, for he was chip of the old
block, and no mistake: so ont he goes
without so much as sayin word, but
instead of goin' to the wood pile, he
walks off altogether, and stad away
eight years, till he was one-and twenty
and his own master. Well, as soon as
he was man grown and lawfully on
his own hook, he took it into his head
one day he'd 90 home and see his old
father and mother agin'; for they ditn't
know whether he was dead or not,
never having heard one blessed word
from him all that time.-Whcn he arri-
we'd at the old house, daylight was
down and the lights lit, and as he pas
sed the keepin'-room winder, he looked
in, and there was old Squire sittin' in
the same chair he was eight wears n
fore, when he ordered in the backlog
and gave him such an unmerciful
whippin', So what does Gilcom do
but stops at the wood pile, and picks up
q hugeaccous log, (for he had crowd
to be Almost a thunderin' big fcllel
then, and openin' the door, he march
in and lays itdown on the hearth, ant

good cheer been laboring hard, and she
now threw her wearied form into the great
arm chair, to view her treasures She care
fully counted her pies, and lot one was

and how many times it had been filled, and
her arithmetic told her, by figures that will
not lie, that pie was missing. She coun-

nervous.
She had made the discovery that the

spoon an thimble; in a word, it was The
pie which was 10 grace the centre of the Ia
