Woodlands and Fields.

We need more appropriate division of
farms, as regards woodland and cultivated
fields, and better adaptation of the vari-
Gus portions to those purposes most consist
ent with the nature of the soil, and gene
raj appearance of the country. This is a
matter which receives but little attention
from farmers. An indiscrlminate destruc-
ton of forest trees has been made in many
instances, when the land was first occupied,
and new growth has not been allowed to
take its place. The consequence is that
much land which would have produced
trees, and nothing but trees,-as the rocky
points of hills, barren knobs, the sides of
gulhes-have been left naked, and the soil,
having nothing to hold its particles togeth-
er, has been washed to sterrility. Another
injury which has ensued from this destruc-
ton of trees, is the greater exposure of
many places to the force of winds. In this
climate, subject as it is to extreme heat and
cold, trees are important as a means of
shelter A border of trees, even of not
more than rod in width, on the north and
west sides of fields, will produce very
favorable effect in breaking off the cold
blasts. This is particularly required on
hill and mountain pastures, and also in open
champaign districts, like the western prai-
res. There should also be trees in proper
places for shade, as animals exposed to the
full blaze Of our intense summer sun, suE
fer greatly from its effects.
All steep hill-sides, gorges and gulIies,
should be left in trees,or planted with them.
These spots left bald and reproductive,
give an unpleasant aspect to the anscape !;
but clothed with trees, they impaIt a pic
turesque beauty and interest to the scenery.
1t would not be difficult to cover these pa-
ces with trees, by planting the sugar maj pie,
elm, white-ash, oak, chestnut, and some
evergreens, as the cedar, hemock, and
pine, to fill up the plantation. All these
would become valuable, either as timber or
for fuel 1t would be necessary to keep
stock away from them, till they have attain
ed such size as not to be injured by brows-
ing.-Albany CultiUator.

Barbarism and Civilization.

When that philosophical tyrant, the
Czarina, (who murdered two EmPerors for
the good of their people, to the edihcatlon
of Voltaire, Diderot, and Dalembert,) pro-
posed to give a code OF laws that should
serve all her subjects as much or as little
as she pleased, she ordered her various
States to send Deputies who should signify
their respective wants. Among the rest
came representative of the Samoieds; he
waited on the marshal of the diet of legs-
Iation, who was Archbishop of Noyogorod.
| am come, said the savage, but do not
know for what. My clement mistress, said
his grace, means to give body of laws to
all her dominions. Whatever laws the En-
press shall give us, said the Samoled, we
shall obey but we want no laws How,
said the prelate, not want laws why you
are men like the rest of the world, and
must have the same passions, and conse-
quently must murder, cheat, steal, rob,
plumber, &c. 1t is true, said the savage,
we have now and then bad person among
US, but he is sufficiently punished by being
shut out of all society. One day Count
Orlow, the Czarina's accomplish in more
ways than one, exhibited himself to the Sa'
moied in the robes of the order, and reful-
gent with diamonds. The savage surveyed
him attentively but silently. May | ask,
said the favorite, what it is you admire 2
Nothing, replied the Tartar, | was thinking
how ridiculous you are. Ridiculous cried
Orlow, angrily: and pay in what? Why.
you shave your beard to look young, and
powder your hair to look old.

Sagaoity of a Dog.

The following instance is related by the
Edinburgh Weekly Register:
"The animal belonged to celebrated
chemist, who tried upon it the effect of a
certain poison, and upon the next day adj
minlstered counter poison, which had the
effect ofpreserving the creatures life. The
next day another dose was offered, but he
would not touch it; meat, but he turned
from it; water, but he would not drink
TO re. assure him, his master offered him
bread and meat of which he himself ate in
the dogs presence; and of that the saga
cous animal hesitated not to partake. He
was taken to fountain, but he would drink
nowhere but from the spot where the wa
ter gushed free and fresh. This continued
for several days, until the master, touched
by the extraordinary intelligence of the
poor creature, resolved to make no more
attempts upon him with his poisons. The
dog is now very gay, but will eat nothing
that he does not first see his master touch
nor will he drink except from the pures
spot Of the fountain.

On Breaking Colts.

Breaking colts is a business that almost
every farmer has to do, at least every one
is apt to consider his mode of management
the best Now, as there are many colts
spoiled by Encouragement in breaking, L
am inclined to believe that every man is not
capable of understanding the disposition OF
every colt, and breaking them in proper
manner so as to have them work kindly
1t is true, there are colts that may be man
aged, and be made to do every kind OF la
Dor by almost any one, but there are others
which require sklIful and proper manage
ment before they become kind. A horse
that is contrary about standing, and at
starting, has not, in my opinion, been right
ly taught in breaking. or has been spolt
since by improper management and think
all will admit that horse that will not stand
quietly until you are safely seated in your
carriage is dangerous horse to own; |
would rather whip horse to make him
stand, than to make him start. A colt that
is rightly managed is always ready to start
when he is told so TO do, but they should
be treated very kindly, and with great pa
tlence.
| have broken many colts, and have found
it the best way to bit them very lightly at
first by tight biting at first, have known
colts to throw themselves and even break
their necks by falling. When in harness,
they must be taught to stop, and stand
when spoken to, and not be allowed to start,
until they stand perfectly at ease; manag.
ing thus, have never failed to break them
to start moderately and kindly. When
driving them in harness, and before they
are attached to a carriage. I take rope,
and tying it to the tugs, | hold back with
one hand, to teach them to draw on. Colts,
as well as older horses, are apt to see many
things to frighten them while being led in
a Bride or headstall ; on these occasions
they should never be struck, but treated
very kindly and spoken to encouragingly
many horse is spoilt for life by being
forced up by whipping to an object at which
they have expressed a sense of fear; the
man who would fog his horse on such an
occasion ought himself to be fogged, unless
he is doomed to be himself horse in the
next world, uo sumo believe, when he may
very naturally expect to be served out fol
his cruelty. A colt while breaking should
not be left hitched to post for any length
of time unless you are near; it is best tc
take him out of the shafts, unless this be
the case.-BOSt0n CultiUat0r.

Oh tell to distant lands
How, while in swaddng bands,

Vanqushed her foes

Sunk to an early grave,
scorned to exist a slave,
Valor the motto gave
Freedom or death.'

Led by great WAsHfVeToN,
Triumphant rode
oh till each spark expires,
Fan those celestial fires
Which cost our gallant sireg
Oceans Of blood

And with nice, skillful hand,
Freedoms great CH,RrEa plann'd,

Boast of the age
Well they the task performed,
Wisdom and virtue warmed
Each patriot soul
Justice impartial sway'd
Each jarring intrest weighed
Mutual concessions made
Balanced the whole.
Rise then, Columbians, rise
Watch with all Argus eyes,
Guard this high town
Traitors and knaves combine,

'Ganst this protecting shrine
All their darts pour
