BY exposure tends to destroy the larve Of
many insects which prey upon the growing
crops. The utmost care should be especial
ly exercised to guard against all standing wa
ter on land plowed in the fall or winter. II
this precaution is not observed. all the ad.
vantages Of early blowing are lost. All
bitches should therefore be carefully cleaned
out, and surface burrows opened for carrying
of the water from rain or melting sn0ws.
These surface furrows should in all cases be
cut to a depth Of several inches below the
depth Of blowing, so as not only to keep the
loose soil free from water. but also portion
at least Of the subsoil. If this necessary
precaution is attended to. the soil will be
fopnd early in spring in good condition Tor
further preparatory culture for the reception
Of seeds Of any description.
Another operation Of primary importance
at This season of the year, is the providing OF
ample aud good shelter for stock Of all kinds
Ia department Of rural economy too often
sadly neglected in this climate. We see
thousands Of cattle which, through the inc!e-
ment season Of winter, have no other pro-
lection IRON lis keen blasts and pelting
storms, than the lee side of bush or a rail
fence, where they stand covering and shi-
veriDg, with their staring coats OF hair full
Of the cold rain or covered with frozen snow
or icicles. This is not only cruel exposure
to the poor animals, but on the part of the
farmer is a sad want Of economy, and the
fruitful source of the almost universal COM
plant heard in the spring Of weakened teams
and emacated and spectral cattle. When
cattle are not properly sheltered during our
changeablc winters, no matter how amply they
may be fed, all they can possible consume IS
necessary TO supply material for that combus-
tion which is requisite TO supply the inereas-
ed demands for animal heat; so that during
winter the poor animal not only fails to gain
Hesh, but a reduction of that formed the pre-
ceding season takes place thence the cause
Of the many skin covered skeletons We see
every spring, Cattle or stock Of any descrip.
tion, well sheltered during winter and stormy
weather, will require less feeding than when
exposed. 50 that the practice has economy as
we'll as humanity TO recommend Il.
The preservation and accumulation OF man.
ures is another object requiring the farmers
attention during the fall and winter. All
substances suitable for this purpose should be
carefully collected and husbanded, and ready
for appteation early in the spring. IN this
climate we do not recommend the filling up
with straw in stables and cattle Yards, beyond
what is necessary Tor the feeding and comfort
Of The animals. A better mode we believe
to be. the application Of all surplus straw as
top dressing on clover or pasture land
which can be made at Intervals during the
winter when the land is tit for hauling. over ;
so that when the spring arrives, the largest
bulk Of improvement will have been made to
the land. and the farmer thus afforded more
leisure for the preparation Of the soil Tor
crops.

EXTRAORDINARY PREsBNTIMENTs.--A
gentleman, an acquaintance Of the cele-
brated French authoress, Madame Beau
mond, was about making pleasure trip
ON the river with party Of friends.
Everything was ready, and he was just
entering the boat, when his sister, q deaf
mute, came suddenly and most anxiously
running along, and, seising her brother 9
arm and coat, tried to keep him back, but,
finding this unavailable, she threw her.
self OF his feet, and, taking hold Of his
knees, expressed by the most imploring
gestures, her wish that he should desist
from going on the water. Touched by
the painful, entreating expression in the
face and posture of the deaf mute, several
persons Joined in the prayers Of the poo,
unfortunate girl, and her brother finally
yielded to their wishes. Il was fortunate
he did so, for the boat had gone but q
short distance on the river when sudden
gust Of wind made it capsize. Several Of
fhe;company found watery grave, and he
who could not even swim, would no doubt
have met with the same fate ifhis sister
by some divine presentiment, had not pre-
vented his going.
Prof. Buohner, at Marburg, being once
in very pleasant company, felt q strong
desire to 60 home and remove his bed
from its old place to another corner Of
his bed room. He yielded to the impulse.
Having done 50, he felt again at ease and
went back to his friends During the
night large portion Of the ceiling Of th'
room, Just at the spot where his bed for
merly stood, orumbled down, and woult
no doubt have crushed him to death hat
it not been removed from there.

According to Vandenhof who has
written queer sort of book, Hamlet was

let But we do not agree with this gen.
tleman, nor indorse his excessive van
Many of the readers Of Shakespeare
labor under an erroneous impression Of
the personal appearance Of Hamlet; also,
his age Some imagine him pale, ema-
ciated, philosophical youth; others Of q
robust constitution, full Of FIRE, and in
the early scenes given to "deeds Of sport
and Jest" Not so. Hamlet was fat,
decidedly fat; a short, pursey sort OF
chap, ant to get out of breath, and wore
stays to keep his stomach in trim. In
deed, he found it necessary occasionally
to steal a few hours from his duties to go
and breathe, as for instance: "Sir, l will
walk in the hall, if it please His Majesty,
| it is the breathing time of day with me-"
&c.
Again, the Queen says, "He's fat, and
scant of breath"
Ophelia's description Of Hamlet differs
materially from these proofs ofhis fatness,
for she says of him
| "The expectancy. and rose Of this fair state.
| The glars Of fashion, and the mould OF form."
Again
"That unmatched form, andfeature of blown youth"
This inconsistency can only be aceoun.
| ted for from the fact Of Ophelia being
desperately in love, and in ber eyes the
yery fat Of Hamlet had its beauty.
Harnlet's age was about twenty-five, nc
more nor less. He had but lately left
collegs. His friend and fellow student
Horatio, pays him the first visit after theil
separation at the University, and, being
both young, their friendship formed then
and continues I'LL through the play. Van
denhoff thinks that the age Of Hamlet was
thirty. This would make him an old
"fellow-student," indesd. AT the age o.
thirty the title Of student becomes either
lost in that of q professor or in a profes
sion. Neither Of these was Hamlet a
