This would make him a knaYe, villain ana
a r1bber, cheating the man out of himself as
Joseph brethren did him. Let the same ar
guments be applied to the passage quoted py

bought any gentiles, they could not hold them

a yankee to sell himself as voluntary bond
servant for life for his support and made fair
bargain. But the text says, they shall BE- your
possession, possess Il house and barn and farm
and three COWS and horse and other things but
they are not my property, neither were the
heather and strangers the property OF those
who bought them, but only their possession and
tho their children might inherit them for a
possession, they could not inherit them as prop
erty, for they must not sell them to third per-
son or party, as have proved this to be man
stealing which God condemns, but does not
sanction But is it not said they shall be your

must refer to individuals or classes. 1t cannot
refer to individuals for neither they nor their
masters would live forever, and besides they
bccam3 free at the Jubilee. The Jews were
freed from their service every seventh year
Seven times seven is forty-nine. Of course the
Jews were all free one year before the fiftioth,
therefore the two classes of heather and stran-
gers are all that remain to be freed in the fftetl
year, or jubilee when liberty must be pro-
claimed throughout all the land So the mean
ing Of the text evidently is, that both theil
bondmen and bondmaid's shall be Of the heath
en- and strangers, and not of the Jews, forever
or throughout their generations. But it is al
50 said, if the stranger was rich and thy broth
cr poor, and sell himself to the stranger, &c.
and of course he is bought as well as the stran
ger, and therefore the stranger sells himSe5
when the Jew buys him. And the reason il
both cases is, one is rich and the other poor
and one is in debt to the other perhaps, anC
sells himself long enough to pay the debt, ant
so long he is the possession the voluntary bond
servant Of the other. If the one that Dough
him dies before the debt is paid, he become
the possession of the children of the deceased
till the time is out, or till the Jubilee. 1t is
good pay master that pays when bis work i

GROWING CARRIAGES IN W1NTER.-Mr.
A. jackson, of Barre has some thirty or for
ty cabbages IN part the result of winter
growth. The process Of this will be interest
ing, Just before winter set in he dug trench,
in sandy loan part of his garden, some
two and half feet deep, about the same in
width, and some ten feet long, and put his
cabbages in the bottom of the trench in the
same manner as they would be growing
about three side by side until it was full.
He thenplaced rlanks over the trench so as
MOTTO touch the tops and covered them
sufficient to prevent freezing.
When taken out few days since, the
large uniformed heads, had remained per-
tecty sound and fresh; those of small size
had actually grown to full sized cabbages
and were as green as when first placed there
One Of them may now be seen set out in his
garden growing fresh and green, A quantity
OF sage placed in the trench remained fresh
and green, as did some turmps.
Would not this be Il good preparation for
keeping sauce and vegetables fresh for Spring?
Who'll try the experiment OF winter gar
den?

As this is the season fer planting trees, L
will offer few hints, hoping that the unini-
tinted may be- benefited thereby, For the
present, | will confne myself to the apple
First OF all, get your trees from reliable
sources, and do not trust to tree pedlars,
In selecting do not run into too great vari-
ETY., but content yourself with the best of
such as will give you supply throughout the
year. For twenty sorts | would choose the
following:
Early Harvest, Red Astrachan, Summer
Rose, Early Joe, Sweet Bough, Prlmate
Fall Pippin, Grauensten, Porter, Rhode Is
land Greening, Jonathan. Swaar, Roxbury
Russell, Talman Sweet, Red Canada, North
ern Spy, Yellow Bellefower, Newtown Pip
pin, and American Golden Russett-
The above selection will give general sat
isfaction throughout the Middle and Northern
States
The trees may be planted from thirty to
forty feet apart Gu good dry land Z; it the
land is wet, 1t should be underdraiued; the
holes should be at least two feet deep, and
not less than four feet in diameter. If the
land is in high state Of cultivation, you
may put six inches of old manure in the hole
and mix with six inches of soil, then raise a
mound in the centre, and set the tree just as
deep and no deeper than it stood in the nur-
sery. Be careful to place each root IN its
natural position and see that all arc EMBEDDED
in mellow soil; after all the roots are cover
ed you may stamp the elrth down, and pour
on pail of water aud when it has soaked away
finish off by raising the soil four inches higher
around the body of the tree than the surface
of the land this will in a measure answer
for stake; but if you are in windy loca'
ton stakes will be necessary in most localitie:
however, mound twelve inches high around
the body of the trees, will answer better
putposc than stake, as it will protect the
tree against mice, and the wind also.
IF any of the roots have been marred, the
injured part should be cut off-a smooth cut
will heal over much sooner than a bruise
All grapes and cereal grains are injurious tt
trees would, therefore, advise that none
but hard crops be raised in the orchard fol
the first five or six years. Look sharp fol

when you find the rascal atwork, be sure YOU
destroy him. otherwise your tree will surel,

To RAISE PorAroEs.--A corresponpent--
Vim. Aldridge, of Goreland, Ind.--writing
to the Prairie Farmer. states that having
noticed how potatoes were interrupted in their
growth, and invariably pined and died if
disturbed and bruised when wet with dew or
ran, he selected patch Of potatoe field
the whole of which was good soil and in
good order to try an experiment. This patch
he on y plOwed oacc, and then loo onod the
soil VITA a hoe when the vines we're above
ground, and in the heat of the day when
they were perfectly dry. He never touched
them afterward until they were dug in Octo-
Der last year. These vines kept green
throughout the season, and the yield of pota-
toes was very large. The other portion of
this same field was purposely worked three
times, when the vines were wet with dew.
These blighted early did not produce half IL
crop, and the potatoes were of very inferior
quality. The ground, seed, and time of plant
Ing in both patches were the same.
At this season Of the year, the foregoing
may be very useful Information to many Of
our farmers, who do not generally pay the
least attention in cultivating their potatoes as
to whether they are wet or dry.

From KANsAs.-In the Constitutional Conven-
ton on the Both ult., the committee appointed
to frame a Schedule reported one 1t provides
that the Constitution be submitted to vote of
the people on the third Tuesday of May, and
that an election for members of the Legislature,
Judges and State officers, shall be held at the
same time. 1t also provides that all laws now
in force not repugnant to this Constitution,
shall remain in full force until they expire by
their own limitation. The Bill of Rights is
identical with the Topeka Bill.
The Leavenworth correspondent of the St.
LOUIS Republican says that the Constitutional
Convention adjourned on the night of the 3d.
Under its action, negroes are allowed to vote on
the constitution, and at the first general election
thereafter, vote is to be had on the question of
universal suffrage Foreigners, having declared
their intention of becoming natdralized, are also
allowed to vote. The question of negrosuilrage
caused good deal of excitement and angry dis
cussion, and the representatives Of several coun-
4 ties signed the Constitution under protest,

FLAX CuLEURE.--The time has nearly gone
by when the distaff, aud the pur of the fax
wheel is heard in our land. Luxury is fed
by Machinery, and that is fed by the sweat
and parched toll of the Slave. Flax Culture
is going by. The farmer no longer furnishes
'the we'll hatcheled fibres, and the matron no
longer spins and weaves the Summer garments
for her liege. But the cotton mill furnishes,
at less cost, perhaps, the cotton goods instead.
Why does not some one show the enterprise
to establish machinery for manufacturing lin
en- goods, and why is not the culture of flax
encouraged in this free, liberty-loving LAND?
There is no demand fori it. And why not?
1T is much the best article of clothing for
Summer wear, and wooden is the best for
winter Go South and every bed has its lin
en- sheets. No Slaves back sweats for their
white goods And why should they for ours?

10 the Anti-Lecompton Democracy Of Yer
mont

There is a party, respectable in numbers, and
among whom are many of those who are acting
with the Republican party, who revere the name
of jackson and Jefferson, and look upon them
as the founders of true Democracy. At the
same time they see no vestige of that Democracy
IN the party now claiming its name. This party
in this State have no organ No paper of the
Democratic party has the independence to stand
up and defend the name of their own "little
giant " from the slanderous abuse of the Gov
eminent officials. For awhile the Courier pro-
fessed that issue, but few limitations from the
Administration whipped it into the traces. The
great reason of this is that all the Democratic(O
papers in the State are dependent upon Govern
mcnt patronage, in some way or other. Now
what shall this respectable portion of the people
of Vermont. numbering more than two-thirds of
the twelve thousand who voted for Buchanan,
do? What is their duty? They know it better
than We. They will stand by Stephen A Dou-
glas in opposing Lecompton to the last. And
in the absence of an organ for the free expression
of their will. we offer them the use of the col
umns of the Freeman, and as an independent
journal they are welcomed to fair proportion
of its space. We are informed of three recent
instances in which Anti-Lecompton Democrats
have been refused a hearing in papers which all
their lifetime they have buoyed from drowning
Whether the present position of things will war;
rant nomination for State Officers or no, We
assure them ofione thing, that the candidates Of
the Anti-Lecompton Democratic Convention
would receive double the votes of Lecompton

HINTS ABOUT ORCHARDS. Apple trees from
three to five years old are the cheapest, easiest
to plant, and most certain to live and give

Letting cherry, plum or dwarf pear trees, take
those that are not over two years old, in
fact, one year old, if well grown, are better
still. Such trees you can usually get at the
nurseries at one.third or one-half less than
the sized trees that are generally ordered.
Nprserymen like to sell large trees at large
prices, but an honest one will tell you that
this is correct advice, and will perhaps save
you, if you are about ordering trees, three

Sourn Down SuEEp.-There is a strong

troduce this superior breed of sheep into more

1.-The South Down will subsist on short
pasture, but we'll repays full feeding; it at
tains early maturity, is hardy and prolific,
frequently producing two at birth; produce
ing wool of IA fair medium quality, and to my
eye the moss beautiful in form of any sheep

The bucks of this breed seem to be more
particularly adapted to crossing with our
common mixed Merinos than those of any
other kinds of mutton sheep. The first
cross of this kind usually produces an animal
very similar to the South Down, in form and
disposition to iatten, and if the ewes are fine

1t is my opinion that Vermont has plenty
of good land that may be cultivated at bet

by farming in the West. Large farms are
well enough where there is large capital and
large skill The great trouble with us is, that
cur boys and girls are not educated for farm
ing business most of them are looking to
something else for living, partly because
they have heard the cry so often that there
