BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. We possess a genuine
fragment which Cicero has preserved TO US from a
lost work of Aristotle 1t thus: s. If there were
beings who lived in the depths of the earth, in dwell
lings adorned with statues and paintings, and every
thing which is possessed in rich abundance by those
whom esteem fortunate, and if these beings could
receive tidngs of the power and might of the gods,
and could then emerge from their hidden dwellings
through the open assures of the earth to the places
earth, and the sea, and the vault of heaven; could
recognize the expanse of the cloudy armament and
the might of the winds of heaven, and admire the sun
in its majesty, beauty, and radiant eugence; and.
lastly, when night yelled the earth in darkness, they
could behold the starry heavens, the changing moon,
and the stars rising and setting in the unvaryng
ordained from eternity; they would su.ely ex
claim there Gods, and such great things must be
the work of their hands,
1t has been justly observed, that this passage is
alone sufficient corroborate Ciceros opinion of the
" golden flow of Arstotles eIoquence," and that his
works pervaded by something of the inspired force
of Platos genius. Such testimony to the existence
of the heavenly powers, drawn from the beauty and
stupendous greatness of the works of creation, is
rarely to be met with in the works of antiquity.

Camden informed US last week, that he had raised
one hundred and bushels of wheat from four and
half bushels of seed-wheat, lot of about four
acres-being upwards af twenty sven bushels to the
acre! He says that his entire field looked better
than this lot; but, having sown this in different
kind from the main crop, he measured it matter
of curiosity. 1t is the Calling. (red) wheat, which
he thinks will pay better profit to the farmer than
the white, though it does not command so high a
price in market. This wheat was raised on the
s. Shepard Farm in Camden, and we have no

in thchouse. COL Il. then left; soon after which,
Mr.. Baker met the negro at the door, he hav-
