ghe farmers Winter Song.

There is time the wise men saith,
For all things to be done:
70 plough, to sow, TO reap-as roll
Successive seasons on.
For pleasure, too, in apwery spring,
In fragrant summers wales,
In fruitful autumn's yellow fields,
In winters evening tales.
And though the fields are black and drear
The forests verdure gone
And all is withered, cold, and sere,
In garden, field and lawn,
There's something left and much TO cheer
And charm the Farmers heart,
For wintry winds to harvest hope,

And while he views the drifting snow,
And treads the frozen earth
He has at home his gamers full
And social blazing hearth!
And thus he sings what'er pervade

OF winters winds and summers suns,

with which he planted field, and
soaked it in solution of salt nitre.
commonly called salt petre, and plan.
ted five rows with the seed thus pre-.

rows plaoled with saltpetrc yielded
more than twenty-five rows planted
without any preparation; the five rows
were untouched by the worm, while
the remainder Of the field suffered Sc.
verely from their depreciation.
We should judge that not one ker.

touched by the worm, while almost
every hill in the adjoining field suffer-

the preparation. He will be aston

Here is simple fact which, if sea-

Farming sale Pursuit in Lie, and Conlmtye Of Helt
and Happlnasa.

dM udppiNsS,
Farming is a safe business. There
is none that incurs SO little risk, or
that yields more certain returns. If
large fortunes are not realized, d
comfortable and honest living is at
least obtained-income enough to
support family, pay taxes and other
necessary expenses and that is
more than is accomplished by large
town to engage in trade. An old
and observing merchant in Boston,
remarked a few years ago, that he
had, for forty years, kept his eye on
the young men who commenced
business in certain street, and that
to his knowledge, bat one in twenty
succeeded.-Nineteen out of twenty,
or ninety-6ve out Of a hundred, failed
and compounded with their creditors
for few shillings on dollar, making
total loss ofcapital in the aggregate,
sufficient, perhaps, to have purchased
n snug farm for each, on which they
could have lived in competency.

an Agricultural meeting in Boston, in
l840, said" After IA pretty exten

chants and tradesman, not more than
three in the city ever acquired

distrust that he came to this conclusion,
but upon consultation with an
experienced merchant, he fully admit

Do not understand me, by these
remarks, as undertaking trade. No
one respects it more. 1t benefits the
farmer, and enriches the country, and

tact and talent qualify them to succeed
in il. But observation has taught me

AN ANECDOTE.

Not long since a vessel lett one OF our
wharves in this city, bound Tor Wareham,
with five barrels on board, each labelled, very
conspicuously, !" Cider Vinegar" Now there
was nothing very strange in this, for the good
town of Wareham might have use for il; but
when the vessel arrived al the above town, il
was ascertained that the said five barrels Of
cider vinegar" were for one Chittendon, who,
by the way, was a noted rumseller, and who
could certainly have no use for such quantity
Of the " SOUR" This idea occurred to seve-
raj individuals denomina:ed |" Washingtoni-
pns," who Immediately resolved themselves
into committee of investigation, and at once
entered upon their duties. They proceeded to
the pier, and being shown by Capt. B.
to Mr.. Chittendon's cider vinegar, they took
out one OF the bungs, when-oh, glorious
their olfactory nerves were regaled by pure
fume Of our city's delicious rum; and upon
examination, the same disparity was found 10
exist throughout the whole between the out
side labels and the odor which arose from
within. Squire B, the receiver Of Gus
toms, was Immediately informed Of this ex-
lraordinary arrival, and he called upon the
Captain TO inquire if any rum had been
brought by him for any person In town. The
SQUIRE was assured that he had not; and furih-
ermore that he had only brought FIVE barrels
for Mr. Chiuendon. The questionable article
under the above title on the wharf. was seized
in Uncle Sans name. as then without an ow
ner. Hat E
Our worthy rumseller was soon at the
wharf for his vinegar. when he learnt that
Squire B had il in charge. The Squire
was next called upon who put the question to
the anxious man, ,.
"Mr. Chrttendon. what did you send to
Boston for2'
"Cider vinegar, sir" replied the retailer
Of " home manufactures"
"Well, then, these barrels are not yours,
for they contain nothing but ruml''
Mr.. Chiuendon Immediately disappeared,
consoling himself over the idea, that the next
time he sent for " vinegar" he would keep
bright eye upon the Washingtonians' s.
Rechabite.
