WHY FARMER SHOULD TAKE

causes Of huctuaiionin markets, the price
Of produce is raised above its ordinary
value. But is this often The case Do
those who by the sweat OF their brow,
have sowed and reaped aud gathered in
the golden harvest, profit BY the increased
price Of -four or other grains :? On the
contrary. is ii mol, in nine cases out of
ten, the fortunate speculaior, who, by
watching the foreign markets, and by his
knowledge ofalfairs at home steps in before

which SO small a sum as one OF
two dollars nigh, procure for him ifexpe-
nded on.a good newspaper, sells his wheat
at the usual price, little dreaming how
much he is losing by the bargain. while
The wiser speculator makes suus little
fortune OF $4,000 or $4,000 in day!
Year after year has this been the case,
and yet how lew Of tue farmers 10 our
wheat growing countries have pro6led by
their dear bought experience. SO as to
avail themselves of the chauges which so
frequently occur. We rei,erate the war

the voice ofinleresl, and a newspaper is
looked up5u as an article Of unnecessary
expense in farm hoase, by those who il
they regarded their own pecuniary inter

if obliged 10 curtail in some other quar-
ter.
tSecondly,-A farmer should take

The observation Of past century had
shown the inhabitants OF Maryland aud

they were visited 10y a countless horde OF
insects Of the cicada tribe, hence called the
Sepieadecip; distinct in aspect and habits

] sometimes have thoughts
la my l9nele-l hours,
That he on ny heart
Like dew on the flowers,
Or u ramble | took,
One bright AFTERNOON,
When my heart was as light
As q blossom in June.
The green earth was moist
With the late fallen showers,
The breeze fuIler'd down,
And blew open the flowers,
While Il single white cloud,
To its haven OF rest,
On ,he white wing OF peace,
FIOatcd Off in the west.
As threw hack my tresses,
To catch the cOoi breeze,
That scattered the raindrops,
That dImpled the seas,
Far up the blue sky,
A iair rainbow unrolled,
Its solt tinted pInlons
Or purple and gold.
Twas born in a moment,
Yet quick as its birth,
II had stretched to the
Uuernost ends OF the earth,
And, fair as AL angel,
1t hoated all free,
With wing on the earth,
And a wing on the sea.
How calm was the ocean!
How gentle it, SWELL
Like woman's sllt bosom,
1t rose and it iell,
While its light sparkling waves,
Stealing laughingly o'er,
When they saw The fair rainbow,
KneIl down on The shore.
No sweet hymn escended,
No murnur OF pray er,
Yet | lelt that the spirit
OF worship was there,
Aud bent my young head,
In devotion and love,
Meath the form OF the angel,
Tha. floated atOVe.
How wide was the sweep
OF It's beautiful wings!
How bOundless It's circle!
How radian, i's ringsl
If | looked on The sky
Twas suspended in air,
If | looked on the ocean
The rainbow was there.
Thus forming girdle,
As brilliant aud whole,
As the thoughts OF the rainbow
That clrcIed my soul
Like the wing OF the Deity,
Calmly unfurled,
It bent t!Om the cloud
And encircled the world.
There are moments, | think,
When the spirit receives
Whole volumes Of thoughts
GA its unwritten leaves,
When the folds Of the heart
In monen. unclose,
Like the innermost leaves,
From the heart Of a rose.
Aud thus, when the rainbow
Had passed from the sky,
And thoughts it awoke,
Were too deep to pass by;
Il left my fall soul,
Like the wing OF dove,
All tluttering with pleasure,
And fluuering with love.
] know that my form,
Like that bow from the wave,
Must pass from the earth,
And lie cold in the grave;
Yet, oh! when deaths shadows
My bosom enclouds,
When shrink from The thought
OF the coffin and shrOud,
May hope, like the rainbow,
My spirit enIold,
