SIGNS OF Pooh FARMER.-He grazes
his moving late in the spring. Some of
his cows are much past their prime. He
neglects to keep the manure and ground
from stills of his buildings. He sows and
plants his land till it is exhausted. before
he thinks of manuring. He keeps too
much stock, and many of them are unru.
ly. He has place for nothing and no'h-
ing in its place. If he wants gimbiet,
a chisel or hammer, he cannot find it.
He seldom does any thing in stormy
weather or in an evening. You will often
perhaps hear of his being in bar-roorn
talking of hard times. Although he has
been on a piece of land these twenty
years, ask him for grated apples, and he
will tell you tina, he could not raise them,
for he never had any luck. His Incidence
and carelessness subject him 10 many ac-
cidents He loses cider for want of a hoop:
his plough breaks in his hurry 10 get ia
his seed in season, because it was not
housed; and in harvest time, when he is
at work on distant part of his farm, the
hogs break into his garden for want Of
small repair in the fence. He always
feels in hurry, yet in his business days
will stop and talk till he wearies your pa
thence. He is seldom neat in his person
and generally late at public worship. His
children are late at school. and their books
are torn and dirty. He has no enterprise,
and is sure to have no money or if he must
have It, makes great sacrifices to get il.
And he is slack in his payments, and
buys altogether on credit, he purchases
every thing at dear rate. You will sec
the smoke come out of his chimney long
after daylight in the winter. His stables
are not daily cleansed, nor his horses cur.
ried. Boards shingles and clap. boards
are to be seen off his buildings months
after month, without being replaced, and
his windows are full ofrags. He feeds his
hogs and horses with whole grain. lfhis
lambs die, or the wool comes off his sheep
he does not think it is for want of care or
food. He is generally great borrower,
and seldom returns the things borrowed.
He is poor husband, poor father,
poor neighbor, poor citizen, aud poor
christian.
APPROACH OF THE CHoLERA.-The
New York Sun says;--"Fhose who res;
secure, q; this side of the Atlantic,
about the approach Of this pestilence
10 our shores, are foolishly Indifferent to
precedent and act most unwisely. What
has occurred before is likely to occur a.
gain, and it is therefore criminal to neg.
lect such sanatory regulations as would
be calculated to moderate its ravages, or
prevent is spread. Cleanliness and tenn
perance, are the grea, levers by which
the enemy can be bafiled. Impure air,
filth and Intemperance, are lis surest pro-
pagators. Alarm and nervous ap2rehen-
sion add considerably to its fatality and
therefore when any cases may occur,they
should at once be taken to an hospital set
apart for that purpose. Chloride of lime
should be freely used as disinfecting
agent, and slack lime should be employed
in whitewashing the lanes and alleys of
a populous city. During the last visit of
the cholera in Europe, social parties were
much recommended by the faculty and
had recourse to. Music and dancing--by
which to excite the animal spirits, pro-
mote gaity and good humor--were found
excellent preventatives against the career.
of the peslilence. We find it an impera-
tive duty to keep this important matter
before public eye, with view to induce
the civil authorities and individuals to
remember that .preyentiOn is better than
cure.'" go lsa8d
