The Rev. Cotton Mather held the theO
ry that America was originally pcoplCd
by n shrewd device of the devil, who en-.
ttced the Indians to this country in
order that in this remote and unknown
region he might have them all to
himself and out OF the reach Of the
Gospel. We are inclined TO think that It
Mr.. Mathcr were to rise from his grave
and read our newspapers during the last
two months, he would be driven to the
conclusion that the advent OF tho white
man wasno such serious blow to the seig.
norial rights Of Satan, whom he calls the
great landlord Of America as At first
sight it might seem. In fact, judging
from the statements OF the newspapers,
he would probably confess it to be very
doubtful whether the devil is not, on the
whole, doing better with the Caucasians
than ever he did with the lroQuOis, and
whether he did not make great mistake
in conCealing this continent so long from
the Old World.

Toilet BOonlS.'

A room intended expressly for toilet
purposes, is necessary to every house in
the land. In cities and large towns, such
a room is nearly always found; but in
f~armhouses and country residences, its
necessity is very often overlooked. And
at the same time there is no reasonable
plea why it should be; for on a farm,
moro than anywhere else, is such an apart
ment an absolute necessity. When the
farmer and his boys come in from the
Geld tired and stained with toll, would it
not be refreshing to have a room where
they could all repair for a comfortable
~ash, without waiting each for his turn,
at the one basin, standing outside of the
door, on the bench.
Such a room need not be large. a
moderately sized room, fitted up with
basins, sinks, combs, brusher, towels, hooks
or racks for hats and coats, and a glass.
These are sufficient for ordinary use, and
will save many moments Of waiting the
meal, when it is ready. Such a room can
be spared IN a farmhouse, as we'll as not,
and should have a door outside. In this
same room every working member of the
family can tidy up, and DO it, too, without
much delay. If there is no vacant room
which be converted to such use, a portion
of the woodhouse, or an adjacent out
building, can set aside to this purpose.

Beauttfying Farms.

Great progress, says the ObserUcc has
been made within twenty years among
the farmers of the country, not only in
making their farms productive, but max
ing them more attractive. This, in a large
measure, is the result Of prosperous farm
ing. Those who had debts to pay did
not feel able toexpend much in ornament
ing their places but since they have freed
themselves from this burden they have
been more disposed to attend to the ap-
pearance of things.
There has'becn also an advance in taste.
There are not SO many now as formerly
who decry all attention to the ornamental
as a waste of time and money. This race
of niggardly and poorish men is fast dy-
ing out. Increasing intelligence, c%ultiva-
ton Of agricultural..reading the formation
of agricultural societies, the infusion of a
larger element of educated and cultivated
men into the profession, have had a power
full influence in securing more attention
to the aesthetics of farming, instead of
having every thing expended for mere
pecuniary returns. And this is a great
advance. 1t ennobles the pursuit of the
farmer. Man is a creature of taste and
not a mere grub; and he who neglccts to
cultivate and to crafty this element in
his nature degrades himself. Any one
may form a pretty correct estimate of the
intellectual, if not the moral state of his
neighbors, by simple looking over their
farms. The one who allows his buildings
and lands to lie in a s%lovenly state, when
he has the means of improving them, may
be money loving, but he will also be a
slovcnly man with no eleyating instincts.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that
money spent in reasonably improving the
appearance of a place is thrown away.
1t may be doubted whether there is any
more direct method to increase its p%ecuni-
airy value. Certainly its market value
will depend very much upon its outward
appearance. Tasteful aud well-painted
buildings, well-arranged yards and gardens
with neat fences, shade trees properly dis
posed, good farm fences, and clearly kept
fields, will set off a farm to great advan-
tage and make an amazing difference when
it comes to be sold. And even if it be
not sold, these things will add amazingly
to the enjoyment of it By its possessor if
he be not blind to every thing but the
dollar.
Every man, too, yves it to the comuni-
ty in which he is living, to contribute to
general reputation and to public enjoy
ment by making all his scsseundings as
attractive as possible. There is such a
thing as paying too much attention to out
side and to show but there is a reason in
all things, and a measure of time, and at
t%ention, and expense should be devoted
by every one to making his farm and his
home more attractive every year that he
lives.

Larger Crops.

We must raise large crops, and to do
this we must raise them less frequently.
This is the keynote of the coming i'm
proved system of American agriculture in
all sections where good land is worth less
than 800 per acre. In the neignborhood
of large cities VIII ercyer land commands a
high price, we must keep our farms in a
high state of fertility by the purchase of
n or cattle food. Those of us in
he interior, where we cannot buy manure,
must raise fewer grain crops and more
clover. We must aim to raise forty
bushels of oats, and one hundred bushels
of shelled corn and five bushels of clover
seed per acre. That this can he done on
good we'll drained land, from the unaided
resorces of the farm, | have no doubt.
1t may give us no more grain to sell than
Mt present, but it will enable US to pro-
duced much more mutton, wool, beef
cheese, butter and pork than at present.
"But, then, will there be a demand for
the meat, wool, &c. ?" The present indicae
tions are highly favorable. But we must
aim to raise good meat. The low-priced
beef and mutton sold in our markets is as
unproftableto the consumer as it is to the
producer. We must feed higher, and to
do this to advantage we must have i'm
proved stock. There is no profit in farm
ing without good tilage, larger crops, i'm
proved stock, and higher feeding.-JoScph
Harris.
