following are some of the advantages these
shades possess over glass ones:
l. The cost being hardly one fourth.
2. Repairs are easily and cheaply made.
3. They are light; they do not require
watering; no matter how intense the heat
of the sun. the plants are never struck
down, or burnt, or faded, or checked in
growth, neither do they grow up long, sick
and weakly as they do under glass, and
sill there is abundance of light.
A. The heat entirely arising from below
is more eqIable and temperate, which is a
great object The vapor arising from the
manure and earth is condensed by the cool
air passing over the surface of the shade,
and hanges in drops on the inside, and
therefore the plants do not require SO FREE
quent watering If the frames or stretchers
are made large, they should be inlersected
with crossbars, about foot square, to sup

Moliere and the Robbcr.

The Able Moliere who had distinguish.
ed himself in France by his observations
on The astronomical systems of Describes,
was so extremely simple IN his manners,
that taken from astronomy he was stranger
to everything. He was so poor, that having
no servant, and often not even wood to
make fire, he would study in his bed, in
which he would sit up with his clothes
place upon his head by way of night cap,
the legs hanging over bis shoulders, and
thus accounted. pursue the deepest specu-
iatlons.
Whie writing one morning in this curl
Gus post on. he heard a knocking at the
door of his room.
Who's there 2 cried the able, come
in
A person entered, whom the able did
no. notice, but continued writing, till rous-
cd by the intruder, who demanded his
money
Money! exclaimed the astonished Mo-
liere.
Yes, your money returned the other
sharply
oh, yes, | understand you-you are a
thief
Thief or no thief, l must have your mo-
ney.'
Indeed very we'll, feel in this pocket,
said the able, turning one leg of his small!
clothes towards The villain. No money
however, was to be found
'tlere, then said The able, take this
key; go to that closet and open the third
drawer in the bottom CT the book case
The thief went as directed, aud opened
the second drawer.
'Ahp said the anxious Moliere, leave
that alone, those are my papes-dont dis
turb them, you'll 6nd the money in the one
below
The thief opened 1t, and found the mo-
ney.
Now shut the drawer
But the thief waited not Cor that cere-
mony, but betook himself to flight
Pray Mr.. Tibet, shut the door-diabIe
he has left it open. What rascal of q
thief! must get up in the cold, and shut
it deuce take him
Thus saying, the able jumped out o.
bed, shut the door, and resumed his la
bors.

That is a little better. But John, dc
you give them a good education now are
you giving them all the advantages which
your means will allow!
I send them to SChOOt e0interS.
All, John! just as expected. You care
more to cultivate your land than the mind
of your children. You cultivate your land
well because you desire good crops, and
YOU know that will bring them. You feed
your cattle we'll, so that they may mature
early. These are only temporary But
the mind-the Immortal mind-John, whlcE
if properly cuIiiva ed, brings forth fruit
through all eternity-which survives worlds
and is a part Of immortalty-that you
neglect for your land--tor your hogs, your
cattle aud horses.
Why, my dear fellow, that fine horse you
rode to town yesterday would send one o
your boys to the academy whole yeal
and how much good that would do him.
How. much better he would be prepared tc
discharge the duties Of citizen when they
devove upon him.
I don't see thu necessity IF so much educa-
tiOa for a farmer. Meier rent to any bet
ter than cOmn1On school IN my life.
John, you are an ass, downright dolt
why man, the world is great deal wiser
than when you and | were boys. Then
the ministers and the lawyer were the foun-
talns of wisdom. They, with the doctor,
knew it ALL We consulted them on all &C.
casions. They married US and made laws
for US. But times have changed The
mass are begin to think for themselves
There is thel efore, greater necessity for
a more general and thorough education
everywhere. No farmer or mechanic
should hesitate for moment, but should
strain every nerve to give all his children
the very best education in his power Sow
the good seed bounlfuIIy, and in due time
it will BRING forth an abundant harvest O.
honor to your old age.
But 1 haze such a large family
NO matter 1t You really try, there will
be no trouble; for the boys, if you give
them liberty, will get along with moderate
assistance and educate them to be farm
ers, marry farmers girls for wives. Lei
them learn trade if they like, but doA't
think Of allowing item to 60 into the coun.
ing room or a profession. The farmers

Dogs of the Sky.

SUPERsr1TIoNs of kindred character
are found in the earlier history Of most
European notions. The German legend of
the Wild Huutsman, for instance, has a
counterpart in the Welsh Cen Wgbir, or
Dogs of the Sky, said TO be often heard in

Used in England, giving anecdotes and
recollections OF Edward Williams, the bard
of Glamorgan, (men,ioned by Southey III
Madnc, and in some of his letters), con
talns this passage 80 was after the Oard's
death that asked the late ingenious and
welllnformed Mr.. William Weston Young,
then residing at Newton Notage, GIamor-
gan and riding or walking in all directions
iudlferentIy by night or by day, whether he
had ever heard the Cwn Uybir in his noe
turnal travel. He replied in the alfrma-
tive, and said the strange aerial noises had
at first greatly startled and perpexed him.
Mr.. Young, however, was not superstIlious,
and being good naturalist was observant
OF the notes of birds. and of the remark.
able variations between the diurnal and noe
tural note of the same species; the latter
often producing supernatural effect when
heard in darkness and solitude. He
suspected these CWn Wybir to be really
some gregarions birds fying by night and
at length perfectly satisfied his own mind
on the subject. In the course oil his bust.
ness as land surveyor, he was on his pony
one intensely dark night, crossing desc.
late tract Of mountain, when he heard the
most extraordinary yelping, and clamorous
noises over his head, in various keys, not
unlike the cries Of hounds and hnntsmen
in full chase. He looked upwards, but the
darkness was impenelrabIe, His quick
ear, However, soon caught rushing sound
which he knew was the burr of pninns
against the air, aud presently large fright
oil curews descended so near him that
some Of their wings brushed his hat, as
they swept obliquely down to the heather
They had no sooner settled on their feet
than the CUn Wybir ceased to be heard
lie then recollected having heard the same
peculiar nocturnal cry from the curIew on
former occasion, bur had never before en-.
c"un'ere' such an overpowering orchestra
OF these wild serenaders upon The wing
Mr. Young admitted that nothing could be
more natural than the terror of a supersi.

aerial cries he had listened to that night
amidst mountain echoes, and in so desolate

REMARKABLE MEMoRY.-The most re-
markabIe Instance on record olthe power OF
memory, is one related of William Lyon a
strollng player of England, who wagered
a crown bowl of punch that he could repeat
the contents of one number Of the Daily
Advertiser, paper then filled with adver.
lisements, from beginning to end. The
next morning, notwithstanding the want oI
connection between the paragraphs, the
variety e advertisements, and the general
chaos which is prevalent in any newspaper
he repeated it from beginning TO end, with
out the least hesitation or mistake.
