Demanding on a Single CrOn,

Some farmers whom we know advocate the
idea of dividing the labor of farming in such a
way that but one kind of produce should be
raised on farm or section of farms, such as hay
or potatoes, &c. This is bad economy 1t may
be right and proper for every farmer to consider
the capacity of his farm-what it is best fitted
for, and make that leading object. But to de.
pend upon single article of produce is not the
best economy. This is done on many planta-
tons of the South, where attention is turned who'll
ly to cotton alone, or sugar or tobacco alone
but if the statement Of the most judicious OBJ
servers among them can be relied upon, it is not
the most profitable mode of arrangement
Ireland has depended for years on the single
article of potatoes, and how has she Jared at

Are you clerk in a sotre? Beware, we beg
of YOU of the first false step there lit is to yield
to the temptation to take your employers goods
or money without his leave or knowledge. This
will lead to greater liberties until you are found
out, dismissed, perhaps prosecuted and imprison-
ed then all pride of character is gone, and you
are a miserable thief or robber till the States
prison or the gallows puts you beyond the pow
er of doing more mischief
Another first false step is gaining for amuse-
ment this leads, next, to gambling for money
and this to every species of niquity and crime.
Another first false steps tipping Beware Of

A Brothers Love.

There is something tranScendently vlrtuous in
the affections of warm hearted brother towards
his gentle and aml1ble sister. He can feel I'M
bounded admiration FIR her beauty he can ap-
preciate and applaud the kindness which she be-
slows upon himself He can watch the blush
steal over her features, when he tells her of her
innocent follies, and he can clasp her to his be-
som in consolation when the tears gush from her
overloaded heart.
With woman there is feeling of pride ming
led with the regard which she has for brother,
She looks upon him as ONE fitted to brave the
tempest of the world; as one to whose arm of pro-
lection she can fly for shelter, when she is srick-
Ell by sorrow, wronged or oppressed; as one
whose honor is connected with her own, and
who will not see her insulted with impunity. lie
is to her as the oak is to the vine; and though
she may fear all others of mankind she is secure
and confident in the love and protection Of her
bIother.
Nothing affords such satisfaction, and nothing
entwlnes sister so effectually among his sympa-
thies and interests, as profound reliance on her
virtue, and an abiding conviction of her diff
dence and delicacy As these two latter are far
the most delightful qualities of a female, so they
are the strongest spells for entiCing away the af-
fections of the other sex. A female without de-
LEGACY, is woman without principle; and as an
innate and shrinking perception of virtue is a
true characteristic of pure hearted creature, Sc
it is the most lnflllible union between hearts that
truly beat in response to each other. There is
more tenderness in the disposition of woman than
of man; but the affection of brother is full Of
the purest and most generous impulse; it cannnt
| ~ lOU uubt rtb md mill tIiun
all selfish and sordid attachments. A deep root
ed regard for gentle creature, born of the same
parents with ourselves is certainly one of the no.
blest feeling, of our nature; and we're every 9TH
er feeling OF human nature dead save this, there
would still bright hope remlin that the foun'
tain ofvirtue and principle were not yet sealed.

StOring ROatS for Winter.

1t is important that the farmer have his roots
properly secured fer the winter. To such as
have not cellars sufficiently large and convenient
for this object, the best plan is to store them in
to some place contiguous to the stock which is
to consume them. For this purpose piece OF
ground should be selected, from which the water
will run off freely. On the surface of tbs roots
may be placed in high cOnica or obong heaps,
having an exterior as even and compact as posi-
BILE. The long roots should be regularly laid up,
with the large ends on the outside, and in the
form of steep roof, and of the size required;
and as these walls are carried up, the interior
may be filled up with the roots, taking care to
give them as much compactness as possible
When the pile is complete, it should first be
matched with straw or hay so as to conduct to the
bottom of the outside whatever water may find
its way to the interior. This should be covered
with coating of clay, or the most tenacious
earth that is convenient, to the depth of 4 to
inches; or to IL inches is not Objectionable.
The first thickness snot sufficient to exclude the
frost in moderately severe winters in this lati.
tude, but this we do not consider of consequence
unless the roots are required for use while froz
en- as, if kept carefully covered while in thi:
condition. the frost will be extracted gradually or
the return of spring, and the roots will be left in
every respect as good as if they had not beer
touched by it.
Potatoes required for summer use, are some
times buried in dry sandy land at considerable
depth, either in the woods or the north side o
hill, and we have seen them taken out from
such situations on the first of June, as flesh a.
when put in, Care must, however, be taken
that the soil is such as to hold 10 water at thc
bottom, or the roots will inevitably spoil. Or
clay soil, the only recourse is to have ditch sur
rounding the pile, and sufficiently deep to con
duct away any water that may fall on the bottom
One or more holes, according to the size of tn
heap, should be left on the top, which must b.
loosely stopped with hay or straw, to allow tn
escape of gas, which is constantly generated from
the roots. The above principles are applicabl,
to nearly all vegetables under similar crcum
stances. AgricuHurid

Economy Of Hay.

Hay, under the most favorable modification of
circumstances, must be regarded by the econom-
ical farmer as a costly product. Every means,
therefore of economzng it, is of vital Importance,
as it is much more pleasant to dispose Of it at
twenty dollars the ton, than to be compelled to
purchase it at that price.
The following modes for economlzing feed for
neat stock, which we extract from an exchange,
we would recommend to the attention of our
readers generally as deserving of regard
l. Mix coarse straw and similar coarse mate
rails with about one-third the quantity Of hay ;
sprinkle over it a small quantity of brine; pass
the whole through a cutting machine, and feed
it out in deep troughs, and none of it will be
wasted by being trodden under foot A very
large quantity may be prepared at time, if found
convenient to do So
2. Fill large tight box with any desired
quantity Of chopped corn-staks, and with about
one twenty-6fth part their bulk coarsely ground
meal mixed equally through them, Let steam
pass into them from boiler for an hour, and they
will then form a most nutrcious and palatable
food for cattle, especially for mich cows Or
the meal may be boiled with large quantity of
water, and then poured, while boiling hot, upon
the chopped food, without steaming. In both
cases a small quantity of salt should be sprinked
over them.
Every means of saving hay is of vital impor-
lance to the Turner, for it is far more pleasant to
be able to sell hay for Is or 800 ton than tc
purchase it at that price to keep alive herd Of
starving cattle.
Farmers who raise much corn, and have con.
sequenty large quantity of cObs, will find il
for their interest to feed cob meai to their stock
instead of pursuing the usual practice of grind
ing only the grain, and throwing the cob, rich in
flrlnacious matter, into the compost heap or in
to the fire.
Cobs, soaked in solution of salt, make an
excelle feed for oxen, COWS and young cattle
and, by many, are deemed preferable to marsh
hay, especially during winter. This is matter
of Importance, and one that should be regarded
as such by -Germaatown TEL

and triumphed, and will ever triumph over it
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but no pure
holy deed, or word or thought. On the other
hand might, that which the children of earth
call so, the strong wind, the earthquake, the fire
perishes through its own violence, selfexhausted
and selEconsumed as our age of the world has
been allowed to witness in the most signal exam
pie. For many of US remember, and they who
do not, have heard from their father, how the
mghtiest man on earth he who had girt himself
with all might except that of right, burst like a
tempest cloud, burnt himself out like conAa-
grafton, and only left the scars of his ravages to
mark where he had been. Who among you can
look into an infants face and not see power in
it mightier than all the armies of Attila or Napo-
leon ?-Archdeacon Hare

Winter Evenings.

" Winter Evenings,
Now the evenings are long, and now is the
season when young people should store their
minds with useful knowledge There is time
for all things, and the sports ofwnter are not to
be denounced. Exercise is absolutely necessa-
ry for the promotion of health, ana suggishness
in youth is ii bad prasage of manhood But yet
there is much time that may be proftably spent
in reading, in writing, and in mathematical stu
dies.
1t is poor business to devote much time to
theological controversy, Coed morals are the
polar star ofa religious systems, and any telcl e
ngs which clash with good morals must be at
once rejected.
The plain common sense of the New Testa-
ment uncontaminated by subtle CONSTANTS and
by dark elucldations, will he found sufficient to
give strength to moral resolutions; and you need
not give yourself trouble on account of any SUI
pernatural operations for all supernatural oper-
atoms are entirely beyond your control, and you
have nothing to do with them but to submit all
to Him who governs the Universe
Choose good hooks, therefore and endeavor
not to be entangled by teachings which are moi
comprehended by the teachers themselves for il
the blind lead the blind they both shall fall into
the ditch. No. procure the best historical books
and learn what the world has been as we'll as
what it now is. Think for yourselves as you
progress, and believe not every tale The his
tory ofour own country ought to he flmilar tc
every son of this western world. The history OF
Eng md is next in Importance, and as we claim
kindred with that race and trace origin
thence, we ought not to be ignorant of the events
that have contributed to exalt that country SC
high in the estimation of mankind.
Parents ought to be watcblul that their off
spring be not bred in ignorance. For Ignorance
is the block that imposition chooses to build up
on. Let no day be lost while the school lasts
for the class is broken and confused when one d
its members fails to attend.
Farmers have more leisure at this season o
the year than mechanics of any class, and farm
ers in this country are highly cu p lble when lhey
neglect to compel their children to avail them
selves ofthe means that are freely offered to &C
quire the elements Of knowledge

The Wonders of PRAYER.

Abraham's servant prays-Rebekah appears.
Jacob wrestes and prays-the angel is conquer
ed and Esaus mind is wonderfully turned from
the revengeful purpose he had harbored for twens
ty years. Moses prays-Amalek is discounted.
Joshua prays-Achan is discovered Hannah
prays-Samuel is born. David prays-Ahitopf-
Ell hands himself Asa prays-a victory is gain
ed. Jehoshaphat prays-God turns away his
face. Isaiah and Hezekiah pray-one hundred
and eghty-five thousand Assyrans are dead in
twelve hours. Daniel prays-the lions are muz-
zIed. Mordeca and Esther fast-Haman is
hanged on his own gallows in three days Ezra
prays at Ahava-God answers. Nehemiah darts
a prayer-the kings heart is softened in min
ute. Elijah prays-a drought of three years sue
ceeds. Eljah prays-ran descends apace Elisha
prays-Jordan is divided. Elisha prays-a
child's soul comes back The church prays-
Peter is delivered by an angel. Paul and Silas
prayed and sang praises-the doors of the prison
were opened and every mans hands were loosed
Prayer has divided seas, rolled up flowing rivers
made fllnty rocks gush into fountains, qlencheC
flames of FIRE, muzzled lions, disirmed vlpers ant
polsons, mlrshaIled the stars against the wicked
stopped the course @fthe moon, arrested the rapic
sun Ill his great race, burst open iron gates, re
called souls from eternity, conquered the strong
est devils, commanded egions of angels down
from heaven. Prayer has brided and chanet
the raging passions OF men, and routed aud des
troyed vast armies Of proud during, clustering
atheists. Prayer has brought one man from tn
bottom of the sea, and carried another in a cha
riot of fire to heaven. What has not prave

The Choir in New York.

| went to the Chapel some few Sundays since,
A stranger yet at home within the walls
Where all are welcome. Twas an early hour;
So awhile surveyed the edi6ce,
Admring well the growth of pety,
Or growth of that fair city which had changed
Its theatres to temples. Soon the seats,
Spacious and free TO poor and rich alike,
Were filed The holy man Of God his place
Assembled; silence reigned, and hearts seemed hushe
As if conscious that Jesus was within;
When, presently the choir hose ample seat
Was to the sacred puIpts rear assigned
And in full view of wOrshpper began:
He dies The Friend Of sinners dies
In low
And sweetly plantve notes, in which thought
The very soul of harmony spoke ont,
Did many voices, well attuned, reilly,
Subdungly-H res IoUe beyond degree!
So rich, so melancholy, and 81 soft,
The strains that rose and fell upon the ear
So fifty, modulaon Of the tones
Was married to the language, blending sense
With melody, and to the heart and head
Conveying truly sweetly mournully,
The import-that my soul was satisfied,
And yet was troubled. Could help but 90
With the sad story could help but hear
The voice Of Salen's daughters as they wept?
Or could then resist the plaintive call
Come, saints, and drop tear or two for Him
Who groaned beneath your loadp-Could | refrain
My joyful praise as The triumphant burst
Gave token that the God had left the tomb,
And risen Conqueror and King
gazed
Upon the leader of this wondrous power
OF mnStrelsy, divine and true. He sat
Midst Of the Choir upon the tarthpst seat,
And highest-the Spirit he of Music
Sat His venerable FORM obedent to
The stirring impulse of the mellow sounds,
Involuntary bent, now at the close,
Sym2honious, and now, to full extent
Expanded, as pealed up the harmony,
While every nerve and every fibre seemed
Compelled to the sweet service He, saw
Blest necromancer! had infused his soul
Into the soul of each, and each as one
Gave voce-one mighty master moving all,
1t wings devotion, when Intelligence
And skill, and pety, in concord join,
Producing music. Softened by its power,
The heart flows forth, and meekly entertalns
The gospel message. Let not thneess choirs,
Where life is not, nor melody nor taste,
Essay the lofty praises OF the Kings
For to his shnes should such false fire be brought,
'Twould mar the sacrifice. How heavily,
How YEARLY, would grieved Devoton's wing
Soar then! New JUNCTION must the soul require,
