schools. He laid aside the sword as powerless
in elevating mankind and saving his country.
He retired from official state duty, because he
found intrigue and chicanery an overmatch for
sound sense and correct taste, while the mass
of men remained unenlightened. He found that
mere legislative enactments were Intellectual, and
that before any great and beneficial revolution
in the condition of his country could be effect
ed, a taste for education must be created and
that it must begin in early childhood" Hence
we perceive that statesmen and philosophers of
all ages and countries, have regarded a general
diffusion of knowledge as the best means to pre-
serve liberty, and the surest defense against tyr
amy. This sentiment should be more appreci-
ated, and not only appreciated, but acted upon
Our peculiar institutions require general diffu-
sion of knowledge, and the common schools are
the only means by which ii. can be accomplish
ed. Yet, notwithstanding the evidence in favor
of them, there are many in the community who
would stop their workings But time wllshow
that the system is not ga farce;" and the day,
it is hoped, is not far distant, when all opposi-
tion to them will have died out. ''Like the
showers of a bountiful Providence, the influence
of our popular schools must be felt alike by eve
ry grade and condition of our population"

CHEAP SUMNER FooD FOR Hoes
The editor of the New England Farmer
says he has practiced the following plan
for summer feeding of pigs for many years,
and finds 1t to lie an excellent one:
"a few rods of grass-plat convenient to
the pen is reserved for this purpose, and is
manured by the weekly suds from the wash
room. Commencing at one side of the
plat, large basket of the thick, short
grass is moved each morning while the dew
is on, and part given to the swine at
each feeding, three times day. By the
time the last portion of the grass is cut, the
first is ready to be cut again, and in this
way the ground is moved over many times
during the summer, while the grass is kept
short, thick, tender, and sweet. 1t keeps
the hogs in healthy growing condition
they are fed as much as they will eat every
day, and little additional food is needed
besides the slops from the kitchen"

A LUcIoUs PRosPEcT.-There is every
reason to hope for aplentiful supply of fruit
this season. Fruit trees of all kinds are
very full of young fruit, and unless an un-
timely frost interposcs, we shall have an
old fashioned supply of lucious peaches,
apples, plums, cherries, &c. In this con-
nection We venture to repeat q hint concer-
ming cherry trees. We notice an occasional
tree the limbs and twigs of which are cov-
cred with small knots, caused by the
working of destructive insect. Every
tree of this kind should be cut down and
burned. They are worthless for fruit
bearing purposes, and if not destroyed by
fire, will communicate the disease to all
the other trees in the vicinity, and after a
tree becomes diseased in this way it rarely
lives more than two or three years, and
ceases TO bear fruit.
