The joys of welded life have never
been written out. One Of the most de-
lightful incidents in the life of Bene-

reused from his slumber by his wife,
who strikes two or three well directed
blows upon his breast, with her ell

says

The husband is now really alarmed,

KNOWLEDGE AMONG FARMERS.

Those who are connected with ag-
riculture, are not inferior in natural in
telligence to any other class Of the com
munity. And yet it is not denied that
both owners and tenants, as a body,
possess less Of that acquired which
specially relates to the art by which
they live, than those who hold the
same station in reference to any Of our
great manufacturing arts. This is to
be ascribed to the small value hitherto
placed upon any other than practical
instruction in reference to agriculture,
and to the consequent absence of near
ly all public provision for acquiring it.
Notwithstandingthe acknowledged i'm
portance Of the art Of culture no regu-
lar course of instruction in connection
with it is given in the English or Irish
universities. There is indeed Pro-
fessor ofrural economy at Oxford, but

HINTS TO MECHANICS.

DIR. Alcott gives the following hints
to mechanics, which, we think, have a
general application, as well to those of
professions as to those of trades:
Ifyou would avoid the diseases your
peculiar trades are liable to produce,
attend to the following hints:
Keep, if possible, regular hours
Never suppose you have done extra
work when you sit up till midnight, and
not rise till eight or nine in the morning.
Abstain from ardent spirits, cordials
and malt liquors. Let your drink be
like that of Franklin, when he was a
prlnter-pure water.
Never use tobacco in any form. BY
chewing, smoking, or snuffing, you
spend money which would help to
clothe you, or would enable you, If SIN
gle, to make a useful present to an aged
mother or dependent sister; if married,
to buy dress for your wife, or get
books for your children. You also, BY
any Of these filthy practices, injure
your health, bring on headach, gnaw-
ing at the stomach, low spirits, trem.
bling of the limbs, and at times Sleep
