preeiatc the harmony and beauty Of natural
laws, the reason being, We suppose, that

tons necessary for their elucidation, and
thus, by avoiding all the trouble, the result
brings no pleasure TO them. Where can
anything more beautiful be found, and in
what Tact can you find a greater demOnstra-
ton of the harmony Of the universe, than
that the same law which governs the motion
OF the planets, also controls falling stone
The same force which binds :hc rocks to.
gether, also keeps in contact the PARTICLES
OF skin on our hands. The universe and all
things in it obey system or code Of laws
which cannot be broken. It may appear
extraordinary when we state that nothing Is
violent or irregular in nature! The up
heaved rocks OF former ages have oil been
upneavcd gradually, and in obedience to a
controlling power; even apparently capri
cious earthquakes always move and ever will
progress in definite and given path around
the globe; and the eruption Of volcano
can DO calculated to nicely. Storms can
be prosnosticated, hurricanes predicted,
and a comets appearance predicted; all
these wonders ARE the result of hard and dry

a great many are kept that had better be

MR. DIlL Of Franklin, believed that in

the following statement in illustration
In the fll Of 1850, he took pair Of two
year old steers on poor debt, at $50.

year could have sold them for 500; a gain

In bis neighborhood, widow had farm

the produce, she occupying the house.
The result was that she obtained for her

bushels OF corn, 500; 20 bushels Of peas
and oats. $40; 80 bushels Of potatoes. $40

ESTIMATING CRors. 1t is sometimes con.
venisnt as also necessary to know how to
measure crops Of grain standing. The fol-
lowing method has been found correct in
England; Frame together four sticks, meas
uring exactly foot square inside, and with
this in hand walk into the open field and
select a spot Of fair average yield, and lower
the frame square over as many heads as It
will inelOse, shell out the heads thus en-
closcd carefully, and weigh the grain. Ii
is fair to presume tina, the product will DO
the 43 .5gOih part Of an acres produce. To
prove !, 90 through the fields and make ten
or twenty similar calculations, and estimate
by means Of the whole number OF results.
1t will certainly enable farmer to make q
closer calculation of what his fields will pro-
duee than he can do by guessing.
