THE GRADUAL SCALE.
FROM THE GERMAN OF rFErFER.

A sparrow caught upon a tree,
A fly. so fat, his taste grew stronger;
His victim, struggling TO get free,
Begged but to live a little longer;
The murderer answered, ''thou must fall,
For / am great and thou art small"
A hawk bchcld him at his feast,
And in moment pounccd upon him;
The dying sparrow wished at least,
TO know what injury he had done him;
The murderer answered "thou must fall,
For | am great and thou art small"
The eagle saw the hawl; below,
And quickly on the gormand saizos.--
"Oh, noble king pray let me go!
Mercy, thou pcckcst me 10 pieces
The murderer answered, "thou must fall,
For am great and thou art small"
He fcastrd, 10 an arrow flew
And pierced the eagles bosom through,
Unto the hunter loud scream'd he,
"Oh, tyrant, wherefore murder me -
"Ah" :" said the murderer, "thou must fall,
For am great and thou art small"

seasonoble Hints to Farmers.

MnCH AND IN-CALr Cows--As this and the
ensuing months bear peculiarly hard upon these
noble and useful nuimals, it should be the un-
ceasiDg care ofevery husbandman to see that
they are well attended to that they have Ell
ther good stable or a warm shed facing the
south, TO shelter it from the inclemency of the
weather ; that they have ample litter furnish
cd them daily to furnish dry bedding; that the
yard m which they may be confined is dry, that
they receive three good meals day, that por-
ton of their food be OF a succuent nature, as it
is unnatural to suppose that cow, however
good she may be, can be a liberal contributor TO
the pail, and afford rich and but'yraccouS milk
upon dry povender that they be sailed at least
twice a week, rubbed down, or colnbcd daily,
and that each Of them have a ,easpoonful of spi-
rits OF turi eHtne put in the cup IN he OF the
horns, at least oncc fortnight to prevent the
hollow horn. BY timely and rigid attention ie
the duties we have pointed out on the part of
the master, he will have the satisfaction when
the spring opens 10 hnd BY the fine and Gre
ditable appearance of the cows, that he has not
expended his labor and devoted care with rca.
ping a rich harvest of profit, both in the condi
ton of his cows, aud in the qualification OF those
humane feelings which should find their home
in the bosom Of every ugricultnrist
American Farmer.

Circassinn Beauty.

History, travellers, and romance, have said
nothing Of the beauty of Circassian women.
which is not below the truth. Beauty has
been considered an imaginary being, thing
of invention and to Justify this idea, it is el-
legged that what is beautiful to the eyes ofons
people is not to those Of another; that Chi
nese beauty would have no charms in Fran
or England and, in like manner, that the
French or English beauty would have no at
fractions in the eyes Oft Chinese. But the
beauty of Circassiaa women is a sufficient an-
swer to this reasoning since they are acknowl-
edged to be beautiful bv all nations. They
possess that pleasing union Of ieatures--,hat
proportion of all the parts Of the body /; that
spendour; those brilliant tints; that whole,
that cannot be defined, but which exists, aud
necessarily constitutes beauty, since all meu
do it homage.
1t is only in this point Of view, that the in-
habitants of Circassia "a country between ths
Caspian and Black seas,) deserve the atten-
ton of the Observing traveller. II will easily
be conceived, that the nation which consider
ca WOIllPH ES lUeiCHdllulSt', CdU ueFST
her companion, nor consider marriage a sa-
creG and inGissoluble unien We find accord
ingly, that the Crcassians have many wives,
whom they change az pleasure /; bat the first
wife always has a superiority over the others,
which nothing can take away, and which she
retains till death.
The first wife, who is usually married when
extremely young, is purchased like the rest,
in the public markets, where an innumerable
multitude of women are exposed TO sale. No
| inquiry is made with respect to whence ths
woman is brought and if the names of her pa
rents are asked, i, is only to ascertain wheth-
er she derives her birth from the stock uf pure
and acknow lodged beauty.
The usual price of beautiful Circassian fs-
male is from eight 10 ten thousand pasters.
! Women being the principal commerce in Cir
cassia, every thing in their education and ha-
| bitua life, has for its object to preserve their
beauty, and facilitate its developments. All do
mestic occupations are abandoned to the slaves;
women are solely employed with the arts of
the toilette ard the means of pleasing, They
make it particular study to modulate their
voices in soft 'nelodious tones, and TO display
grace and elegance in every motion.
