Beneyo!ence.

"Benevolcnce consists in the wish or
intention to do good" 1t is confined to
no station or object; the benevolent man
may be rich or poor, and his benevolcncc
will be exerted wherever there is an oppor-
tunity of doing good.
"Benevolence, in its fullest sense, is
the sum Of moral excellence, and compre-
hends every other virtue. Hers is calm
and joyous realm. Hers are the green
pastures and still waters-hers are the
ways of pleasantness, and the paths of
peace - The field which she cultivates is
the human heart, aud the seeds which she
scatters bear their fruits in heaven.
Hers are not the pomp of science, the
splendor of genius, the luster of wealth,
nor the power Of armies. With her silent
finger she points to the annals of the past
and they become as bubbles upon the
mighty deep. But does benevolence stop
here No. Does she speak now in accents
as solemn as a midnight bell, Of the moth
ingnes, of human greatnsss2 Listen
again, and you shall hear her clarion voice
proclaiming aloud that human virtue never
dies Does she now present herself with
the shades of death upon one hand and the
history Of the world upon the other, to
show how pisiful is individual ambition,
and how senseless the love of self Me
thinks l see her descending upon her
angel pinion Of Glove and charity" to
gather the entire human family beneath
her ample sway.
See she comes again in the form Of a
ministering angel, with smiles Of sympthy,
and tears of pity, to the abode of want and
the chamber Of death.

The Farmer.
Season for Cutting Timber:

considerable diversity of opinion Pfc
valis on the subject indicated by the title
to this article and n the matter 10 i'm
portans, We have been at some pains to
obtain such information as We think will
be both interesting and useful to oar
readers. Distrustful, as We have reason to
be, of our own opinion, wher il happens
to disagree with the prevalent convistions
Of other minds, we have sough for the
benefits Of experience among those who
are practically familiar with the subject.
We have succeeded IN obtaining from an
esteemed friend, Samuel w. Turner, Esq,
well known in this community as one Of
the best ship builders in the country, the
following communication. which will be
read with pleasure by those whose minds
are open to conviction
Messrs Editors Much has been said
concerning the best seasons for cutting
timber, and in complying with your
request, will proceed to give you the
result of my own ex xpefienee and observa-
ton. 1t has been the common opinion for
many years, that the old of the mo in
February is the pest season. Although 1
have often heard this subject discussed by
old and experienced ship builders snG
others, yet I do not recolleet ever hasing'
heard but that one opinion. The universal
cry has been, February is the ss.Son."
Such was MY own early education ; bus
experience has served to remove that ius-
preston. well recollect that scveras
years ago I received a iesson oH this
subject, which led me to doubt the sage
opinion of our fathers, and inclined me to-
investigate the matter. \ seeOoner odllt
Of timber cut in the month of June, asicr
many years of hard service, was 'opened
out" and found to be r,uch seunder han
vessels of baif her years built Of timber
cut in the winter season. Subsequent in-
vestigations have confirmed me in the
belief, that June is the best ssaDon for
cutting.
1t il we'll understood by persons Of
common observation, that every tning pos
sessed of either animal or vegetable life,
contains in itself the seeds Of ns own
destruction. Now, why is it that salt
preserves timber? simply because it
