throughout creation, in the vegetable. in
the animal, and in a moral world. As is

ON AGRICULTURE.

In this country no man need 10 be idle,
for lis surface would afford agricultural
employment for more than Ien-fold the
number Of it, present inhabitants. Too
many hands cannot be employed in this
business. The learned callings may be
crowded, and trade overdone; when too
great a number engage in il, they slarye
each other; but in new, extensive and
fertile country, every one who iRdustri-
ously and skillfully ills his ground, while
he secures his own independence, is add
ing TO the public stock, and while he en-
joys the fruits OF Lis labor. he may have
the satisfaction TO reflect that his fellow
creatures in distant climes are fed from
the produce Of his fields. Ii the farm
er's income be less abundant ihan that ol
the merchant, il is much more certain. II
greater bodily fatigue is attached 10 his
employment, he has much less anxiety oil
mind. II he has not an equal access "a

Of It's real necessaries and comforts.
Every farmer that is not in debt, ant
has in himself the fee Of his land, is |;

From the North Carolina Farmer.
Fattening Hogs.

This is an important article TO the Far
mers Of North Carolina. | am not prac-
teal farmer myself, but my extensive ira
vels through this State, have thrown me
within the reach of many good expert
ence on this subject. Most Of the North
Carolina farmers fa,ten their hogs upon
corn. Corn of itself, in a raw state, has
been discovered to produce costiyeness
and fever, after the animal has fed on that
alone few weeks. 10 avoid these bad
effects, some have let their hogs run at
large or in extensive pastures, to get green
roots, &c. This helps young hogs to
grow, while they increase but little in fat.
Others have the corn made into meal and
wet with water: still the animal is sub
iect to disease, as above described. Some
boil their corn then the hog is trifty, but
the flesh is not as solid. Some add pota.
toes the Fat in this case again is found
no, to be FIRM An experienced farmer
informs me, that he has, for many years,
raised a great quantity of pumpkins, and
fed his hogs alternately on corn and pump
kins, and never fails 10 have the first qua
lity OF meat when he kills his hogs. This
gentleman having made fortune by his
skill in farming, &C., have been induc-
ed to believe his experience is good. His
fa,lings are confined in close pen; well
supplied with water, weeds, corn stalks,
and a variety Of trash, so that while I've
is making meat he makes an immense
amount Of manure. was assured that
one hog, il kept in a pen twelve months
and well supplied with litter" would
! produce twenty good loads Of manure
I This will make corn and pumpkin:
enough to raise two hogs the following
wear. Let him that readeth understand.
| p. S. A very successful farmer says
mixture Of weak ley and copperas left il
a vessel to itself near the hogs, which they
will frequently lick, will cause them tt
: thrive and keep their health.

True Cheerfulne3s. --- !

True Cheerfulness. -- Along with hui
mility we should cultivate cheeriulness.
Humility has no connexion with pensive
melancholy or humorous detection. While
the truly humble guard against the distrac-
ton of all violent passions and inordlnate
cares, they cherish a cheerful disposition
of mind. There cannot, indeed, be genn-
inc cheerfulness without the appreciation
of our own heart. While. however, we
pay sacred regard to conscience, ii must
be enlightened and directed by reason AMI
revelation. And happy are the indiVldu-
ais who can say, "our rejoicing is this,
the testimony of our conscience that, in
simplicity and godlv sincerity, we have
had our conversation in the world" An
approving mind will contribute greatly to
chaeffulness, and that equanimity which
results from ii, from trust in God, and from
the hope of blessed Immortality, is equal
liz remote from sour dissatisfaction, de-
spending melancholy, and frivolous hilaT'
ity. II smooths our path and sweetens
our cup, rendering duty easy aud atllictlor
light.
