Clear up! Clear up !

To how many farmers will the departure
Of the snow reveal an unsightly array OF re-
fuse wood, broken carts and wagons, that
are thought to be "too good to cut up, "and
yet are too poor to DO Of any further ser
vice. They are, also, old stumps, that evil
IDENTIFY were disturbed long before Mr.. VIII
lis's machine WAS invented; and logs, that
when drawn there were designed for wood,
when that convenient time, "when there is
nothing else to do,' should arrive, that they
might be reduced to proper dimensions for
that purpose. But alas such ugly prop or
tions have efectually warded OF the attack,
and consequently, they are suffered to lie
against the wall, until decay has accom-
plished its work.
The farmer thinks little, and perhaps
nothing about it, rs he is ccustomed to see
them from year 10 year. and is not aware
how much such rubbish dctracss from the
beauty Of his premises. His family are not
sensible Of the enjoyment or luxury OF a
clean door.yard and surroundings, for they
have never tasted ID.
The farm-buildings, yards, &c., are like
the index to book, and the stranger, as he
passes, discovers the character Of the iarmer
by what he thus beholds, as readily as he
learns the contents of book by glancing at
the index. Who shall say that the judS.

Fsliow Ciii,ens: I appear before you
this day to take the solemn oath that will
faithfully execute the Office Of President OF
the United States and will to the best OF
my ability preserve. protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States.
In entering upon this great Office | most
humbly invoke the God OF our Fathers for
wisdom and frmne.s to execute its high and
responsible duties in such manner as to re-
store harmony and Tho ancient friendship
among the people Of the several States, and
to preserve our free institutions throughout
many generations. Convinced that ] owe
my election to the inherent love for the Con.
stitution aud the Union which still animates
the hearts Of the American people, let me
earnestly ask their powerful support In sus-
tanning all just measures calculated to per-
petuate these, and the richest political bles'-
ings which Heaven has ever bestowed upon
any nation. Having determined not to b'-
come candidate for reelection, shall
have no motive to influence my conduct 10
administering the government, except the
desire ably and faithfully to serve my e'an.
try. and to live in the grateful memory Of
my countrymcn.
We have recently passed through rre',

Foote, being at Dover, on his way 10
France, went into the kitchen Of the inn to
order q particular kind Of dish for his

was about to embark for France (and per-

French travellers) was Dragging that for
her part, she was never once out Of her own
