ied Mass, after cousulta ion aud debate,
. 1t was decided that large barn was bet.
ter than two or more small ones that tight
barn was better, even for badly cured hay,
than an open one; that brick barn and q
slate roof were the best and cheapest for a
man who has all his materials to buy that
good connection between house and barn is
covered walk, overhung with Crap, vines !;
that economy OF roof and convenience for
work were of the first importance in any bull
ding, that warm water and warm stabI s
were essential to the comfort Of animals (; that

liquid manures are largely lost, even by those
who have cellars and sheds for storing them;

The Needle.

The gay bellies of fashion may boast of excellina
In waltz or cotillions, at whist or quadrille,
And seek admiration by vaultingly telling
or drawing and painting, and musical skill;
But give me the fair one, in country or city,
Whose home and its duties are dear to her
heart,
Who cheerfully warblcs some rustical ditty
While plying the needle with exquisite art;
The bright little needle, the swift lying needle.
The needle directed by beauty and art.
If love has potent, a magical token,
Atalisnan, ever resistless and true,
"A charm that is never cvadcd or broken
witchcry, certain the heart to subdue.
'Tis this-and this armory never has furnished
So keen and unerrng or polishd dart;
(Let beauty direct it) so pointed and Furnished,
And oh it is certain of touching the heart
The bright little needle, the swift flying needle,
The needle directed by beauty and art.
Dc sure, then ye maidens, nor seek admiration
by dressing for conquest, and flirting with all,
You never, whatever your fortune or station,
Appear half so lovely at rout or at ball,
AS gaily convened at the work covered table,
Each chccrfully active and playing her part,
Beguiling the task with q song or fable,
And plying the needle with exquisite art,
The bright little needle, the swift flying needle
The needle directed by beauty and art.

Or YOUTH AND AaE.-Many readers of
Aristotle's admirable description (in the
Rhetoric) of the Young and the Old, Gn
which he gives SO decided preference to
the character of the young,) forget that he
is describing the same man at different pc
riods of life, since the old must have been
young. AS it is, he gives just the charac-
ter OF the "natural man." Gas the apostle
Paul expresses it, which is to become-on
the whole-g gradually worse, when no sa-
perior and purifying principle has been i'm
planted. Some people fancy that man
grows good by growing old, without taking
any particular pains about it. But, "The
older the crab-tree, the more crabs it bears,
says the proverb. Unles correcting prin-
oiple be engrafted, though man may, per-
haps, outgrow the vices and follies of youth;
but other vices, and even worse, will come
N sheir stead. If, indeed, wilding tree
be grated, when young, with a good fruit
tree, then, the older it is, if it be kept we'll
pruned, the more good fruit it will bear
