Signs of q Poor Farmer,

He grazes his moving land late in the
spring. Some of his cows are much past
their prime. He neglects to keep the
dung and ground from the sills of his bull
ding. 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 unruly. He has place for no
thing, and nothing in its place. If he
wants chisel or hammer, he cannot
find it.-He seldom does anything in
stormy weather or in an evening. You
will often hear of his being in the bar-room
talking of hard times. Although he has
been on piece of land twenty years, ask
him for grated apples, and he will tell you
he could not raise them, for he never had
any luck. His Incidence and carelessness
subject him to many accidents, closes
cider for want of hoop. His plough
breaks IN his hurry to get in his seed in
season, because 1t was not housed; and in
harvest when he is at work on a distant
part of the farm, the hogs break into his
garden for want of a small repair in his
fence. He always feels in hurry, vet in
his busiest day he will stop and talk till
he has wearied your patience He is sell
dom neat in his person, and generally late
at public worship. His children are late
at school, and their books 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 it; and he is
slack in his payments and altogether on
credit; he purchases everything at dear
rate. You will see the smoke out of his
chimney long after daylight in winter.
His horse stable is not daily cleansed, nor
his horse curried. Boards, shingles, and
clapboards, are to be seen off his build
ings month after month, without being re-
placed, and his windows are full of rags.
He feeds his hogs and horses with whole
grain. If the lambs die, or the wool
comes off his sheep, he does not think it
for want of care or food He is great
borrower, and seldom returns the thing
borrowed. He is a poor husband, poor
father, poor neighbor, poor citizen,
and poor christian.

Important, weighty, relevant and WISE
Respected Sir" the sheet of queries runs,
In SO lid pha !anx, like election buns,-
Respected Sir, we humbly beg to know
Your mind on matters that we name below;
BE firm, consistent that is, if you can;
The country rocks and we must know our man.
And first, What think you of the Northern
Lights,
And is it fatal when mad dog bites'
Do you allow your corn TO mix with peas,
And do you doub the moon is one with cheese!
If ell your young potatoes should disease,
What neighbours patch would you incline to
fleece?
When Lots slow help-meet made that foolish
halt,
Vas she half rock, or only table salt?
And had the ark run humping on the stumPs,
Would you, if there, have aided at the pumps?
Do you approve of men who stick to pills,
Or aqueous pilgrims 10 Vermont's broad hills?
Do you mark Friday darkest of the seven?
Do you believe that white folks go to heaven?
Do you imbibe brown sugar in your tea2
Do you spell Congress with X or c?
viii you eat oysters in the month of June,
And soup and sherbet with fork or spoon?
Towards what amusement does your fancy
lean?
Do you believe in France or Lamertlne?
Shall you at church eight times month be
found,
Or absent only when the box goes round?
Should Mr.. Speaker ask you out to dine,
Will you accept, or how would you de cline?
In case comet should our earth impale,
Have you the proper tongs to seize his tail?
For early answers we would make request
Weigh we'll the topics, calmly act your best,

The English NnlaiPr.

In no other country in the world is the
soldier so heartily despised as IN England;
and is he more cordially admired. Men
look down upon him with unbounded con-
tempt; woman look up to him with pas
sionate alteration. He is ridiculed on the
one side; he is worshipped on the other
He is at once lobster and a hero. He
is insulted in the streets; he is courted from
the areas The butchers boy shoulders
his empty tray with a face full of impu-
dence, and the cook-maid, as she returns
with the joint, looks back at him with a
face full of love. His red coat, his erect
carriage, his handsome person, the halo OF
bravery which surrounds him, gladden. the
eyes, possess the imaginations, and fill the
hearts of the gentle sex, whilst men think
him a poor creature indeed, because he
may not put his hands in his pockets, stay
out after nightfall, or get drunk at discre-
ton. They see he is at the mercy of the
drill-sergeant-that he has sold his liberty
for shilling day-that he has turned
into mere machine, without even the or
dinary privilege of a free and enlightened
citizen to wear as much dirt upon his per-
son as he pleases. For all this they
heartily despise; and because he is adored
by the women, they, moreover, cordially
detest him. Besides, he is mixed up in
their minds in some underlined notions OF
taxation-and that is enough in itself TO
render him the most unpopular animal in
the world.-North British ReUiesO.
