COMMON SCHOOLS. Though common, these hum
BILE semnares are mighty agents they are the
lever which raised New England to her high posi-
ton. Much as we are indebted to Colleges, Acad-
emies, and otlIer-smilar institutions, we owe more
inestmably more-to Common Schools. Open
ing the doors to all, sowing the seeds of learning,
broadcast the land their contributions to the
intelligence and consequently to the prosperity and
enjoyment though bestowed in small portions to
each, get in their aggregate to a vast amount
From the primary assemblies ooze out the rills,
which commingling, form the streams that are ever
washing out our moral and political stains, Stop
the flowing of those waters, and our fair land
would fast blacken with ignorance, vice and crime
Liberty would lose her nourishment, philanthropy
her most invigorating draughts Christianity her in
valuable supplies
Christians, philanthropsts, patriots, cherish these
nurseries of the mind and heart of the next gener
alton. Place them so high that the children of the
rich shall be sent to mingle with those of the poor
here let all classes early take lessons in republican
equality; let the children ofthe wealthy here learr
in early life, that they are being trained up fo
scenes in which the most intellectual, the most de
serving are to be at the head of the class here lie
the poor boy learn, that when he ou!strps the rcl
mans son in the race of learning moral excel
lence, the prize of distinction will be bestowed up
| on himself.
Farmers, these schools are invaluable to you
children and to your country. Few higher duties
rest upon you than that of lending wise generou:
and constant aid to the school in your district no
tice and encourage the teacher; by precept ant
example, influence all parents to send their chill
dren to school; supply your children well will
books; let them be in school in season, and con
slant in attendance; help cheerfully to make thu
house comfortable. These points oil of then
important; each is worthy of serious thoughts
and when we'll considered in all their bearings an,
influence you cannot fail to see that our country
future emnence depends on the high character o

Keeping your Pigs IN Winter. There is both
pigs. am not talking to those whose manner of
keeping stock is to let stock take care of themselv
es but to farmers who mean to be careful Hogs
should be sorted The little ones will otherwise,
be cheated at the trough, and overlaid and per-
haps smothered in the seeping-heap. There must
not be too many in one inclosure especially young
pigs should not sleep in crowds, for although they
sleep warmer they win suffer on that very account.
Lying in piles, they get sweaty; the skin is much
mora sensitive to the cold, and coming out in the
morning reeking and smoking, the keen air perces
Them In this way, young pigs die off through the
winter, by being too warm at night If you nave
the land shark and alligator breed, however, you
should crowd these together, for the more they die
of, the better for the farmer.-hldana farmef.

POETRY.
WINTER IS COMING.

BY ELIZA COOK.
Winter is coming who cares who cares
Not tho wealthy and the proud, trow;
" Let it como," they cry, " what matters to us
How chilly the blast may blow"
"Wc'll feast and carouse in our lordy halls,
The goblet of wine won drain;
Wen mock at the wind with shouts of mirth,
And music's echoing strain.
Little casc we for the biting frost,
While the fire gives forth its blaze
What to us is the dreary night,
When dance in the wax lights rays I"
IT'S thus the rich of the land will TALK
But think oh, we pompous great,
That the narrowing storm yo laugh at within,
Falls bleak on the poor at your gate
They have blood in their veins, aye, pure as thine,
But nuugbt 10 quicken its flow
They have limbs that feel the whistling gale,
And shrink from the driving snow.
Winter is comiug-oh think, We great,
On the rouiiess, and naked, and old ilsf
Deal with them kindly man with m1nT
Aud spale thom the 1.-THE OF your gold.

TO ECONOMIST FOOD FOR STOCK.

The great scarcity of hay and fodder, owing to
the excessive drought of the past season, will make
1t necessary, the part Of the farmers, to econo
mise their food the coming winter to the utmost
In addition to procuring cutters to chop up the hay
straw and corn-salks, cooking the food in many in
stances may be resorted to with economy
Take boiler OF so gallons, into this put 25 lbs.
of bran, 3 bushels of vegetables (clean washed J
and sufficient water to cover the whole, stir them
well up together, and let them simmer four or five
hours at nearly boiling heat, and then pour out
into tubs or. barrels, and feed the mixture about
blood warm. If the food is for work horses or OK
en-, a little Indian, oat or barley meal should be
added to the above to make it hearter
1t is astonishing how well stock will keep on
cooked mess of this kind, and how much less hay
they will eat Some reckon hay under these cir
cumstances at one third of the ordinary ratio of
II lbs but if it one half at the present high
price, it will be deserving OF practice. For the
mals which are not at work, cut straw or corn
stalks will answer well instead of hay-especially
the latter Some go far as to say that the hay
could also be simmered with economy; but as this
would require very large kettle, we much doubt
it. Smmering is preferable to steaning, because
it preserves all the juices Of every substance en-
ployed in making up the mess; this, however, re-
quires very large kettle, which Is quite expensive.
Tor stealnlng purposes, well lolnted box, or a
tight hogshead, may be employed, and small boil
need not describe such, as they are found in every
neighborhood. Motifs stove boilers, holding from
ID to 100 gallons, and costing from 50 to $40 each,
are an admirable contrlvance for cooking food. We
will further add that by supplying horses and cat
tie with cooked food, they eat 1t up IN short time,
and then lie down to rest, and are thus enabled to
do more work, and keep in better condition than if
fed ON dry food. american .agricuLlTisi

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND Equity, under the direc-
ton of Francis ]. Troubat, esq.,, of Philadelphia;
Hen. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors without regard to priority of claim
ON the part Of any American publisher. Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY too dear The reason is, that
fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities I'M
der the plea Of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim an UNI
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers Of the work nov
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast they enanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and dgests Of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Phiadelpha--shall have
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law. s.4a
I5- This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of l6O pages, printed on fine white paper end
good new long primer type at seven dollars per
mum, payable half yearly.
