of improved methods of cultivation, how to avoid

profitable kinds of crops, best breeds of stock,

short, the paper will be devoted to the interests of
the FARM, the SHoP, and the FIREsIpE, and seek
the elevation of Labor in all its legitimate inter
ests; opposing q~uackery and humbug in all their
forms, and filling the noble station Of n true

THE EMPIRE.

A FIRST-CLASS BRITISH JOURNAL, ED
tied by George Thompson. late NJ. Z. This Eng
lish Newspaper is peculiarly suited to such Ameri-
can readers rs desire to become familiar with the
policy, the politics, and the institutions of England,
and with European affairs generally. 1t will be q
faithful exponent of popular progress, and the
chronicler of all the important reformatory move
ments of the age. Constant and ample notice will
be taken of the state of the anti-slayery question
on both sides of the Atlantic. The following ex-
tract from the Editorial Address embooies the fun
damental principles of the Empire
"What Ihare been during the whole course of
my public life, that 1 shall inferiJiy remain,-the
ardent friend and supporter of FIee-trnde and the
rights of industry-of the absolute and perfect
equality of all religious sccts-of the largest prac-
ticable increase of the independent political power
of the pcople-of Justice to our colonies, and es-
pecially to the conquered subjects of our vast In
dian Empire-of the exercise of the moral infu-
ence of this nation in favor of the total and uni
versal extinction of slavery and the slave trade;
and, finally, of the Christian principle of peace
the substitution of pacific arbitration
in all international disputes, for the present sense
less, absurd, and bloody appeal to the sword: and
the gradual overthrow of those gigantic military
institutions of Europe, which menace the tranquil
ty of the world, are the strongest bulwarks of
1espotism, and the most formidable obstacles to
the Advancement of civilization, and the triumphs
of pure and indebted religion"

Dollars per Annum, to be paid in advance. Sub
s~criptions will he received by the Editor of the

RAIN WATER AND CISTERNS.

The great mass of country residents seem to
to have no more conception OF the enormous floods
ot clear, pure rain water, that annually pour OF.
the roots OF their dwellings, wooi-louses, barns,
sheds, aud other out-buildlngs, than if they never
heard vi such huge watering pots as the clouds in
the sky. If all rain which fails in the northern
States within II year should remain upon the sur
tace oi the earth without sinking into it and run
ming oil, 1t would form an a\ eruge depth of about
three ieet. In The southern States 1t would be
more Ill the American tropics it would amount
To about ten feet; and near Bombay, i'll Asia, to
twenty-five feet.
Every inch of rain that falls on u roof yields two
barrels 10 every space ten feet square and ~
barrels are yielded by the annual ram IN this eli
mate ON that SIM lie surface. a barn thirty by forty
feet, yields ANNUALLY 3G4 barrels--this is enough
Tor more than two barrels IA day for every day III
the year. Many OF our medium landlords, have,
however, at least five times that amount of root
ing Oh their dwellings and other buildings yield
ing water, Or II barrels or one hundred and fifty
ordinary pailfuls. daily. A very small portion OF
this great quantity is caught in the puny and
~contemptlble cisterns and tubs placed to catch it
but iull-sizcd capaciOus reservoirs, fit to hold this
downright dcluge, we know not where to find
even i'll IL single Instance.
It's true, that where il constant draurht is made
on Il cistcrn, it need not hold the full years sup
ply--even one-sixth part will, in general answer
as the variations in the wet and dry seasons Dc
not often amount to more than the rain of tive
months.-New York CuitiUaOr.
