i «* The common people," says a sensible author, ^generally thin&
that great men have great minds, and scorn base actions; whirh-judg-
anent is sofalse, that the basest and- worst of actions have been done
by those called great men. They have often disturbed, deceived
►and pillaged the world } andhejWb'o is capable of the highest mischief
js-capable of the meanest. He, who plunders & country of a m'llion
of money* would, in suitable circumstances, steal a silver spoon r &
a conqueror, who pillages a kingdom, would, in an humbler situation
rifle %. portmanteau '* 1 should not, therefore, choose ta expose my
watch or purse in a crowd, to those men who have plundered Poland,
if, instead of possessing a cro.wn_cf jewels, lllndthe pocket of submis¬
sive nations, they had been in the circumstances, of a Harrington. Nbr,
though men. should be called honourable, will it be safe to trust out'
liberties, to thejr honour, without some collateral security.
To procure a good crop of wheat, sow your field with clover in the
spring ;v -mow it twice, at the usual times; and soon-after the last
mow ing plow it deep, fuid sow yoUr grain as soon as possible By thia
methodjou will scarcely f&ilofreapinga plentiful harvest.
Stacks of manure should be laid on a solid pavemimt of stone or clay
which will retain the whole moisture. Even the urine of animals is
•very valuable. - -
Hilly lands ought to be ploughed in diagonal furrows ; for the
want of this, manure isfri quently washed away by the heavy rains
,So common in out cllnia e
In yl. *ring »a 1 .n^reiut wood-crowned hill , otherwise you will,
oh lar Urn lit the losi of xp-uiJegatt decorations,ot your 8UC5£&-
|i®fs will condemn want of taste.
HERSCIIEL's TABLE.
4k>k«TBVCVxn upon a Philosophical consideration of the Attraction
of the Sun and Moon in their several positions respecting1 the Earth,
and confirmed by the experience of many years' actual observation*
Will without trouble suggest to the observer, what kind of weather
will most probably follow the moon's entrance into any one pf her
Q "arters j and that so near the truth, thai, in very few instances, will
it he found to fail—Hence, the nearer the I ime of the Moons entrance
at Pud and changeful Quartets, is to Midnight (that is within
Two hours before obiter midnight) the more fair the weather is in
Summer ; but the ^nearer to Noon, the less fair Also, the Moon's
entrance at Full and change, and Quarters, during six of the After-
noon hours, viz. from 4 to 10 may be followed by fair weather ; but
this is mostly dependant on the wind. The same Entrance during
ail the hours alter midnight, except the two first, is -unfavorable to
fair weather.— The like nearly may be observed in winter-

ADVICE TO A LADY.
What is your sex's earliest, latest care,
V >ur heart's supreme ambition I To be fair.
For this the toilet ev'ry thought employs,
Hence all the toils of dress, and all the joys
For this, hands lips, and eves are put to school,
And each instruct-d feaiure has its rule.
And yet how few have learnt, when this is giv'a.
Not ti disgrace the partial boonofheav'n!
Do you, my fair,endeavour to possess
An elegance of mind as « ell as dress j
He that tour ornament, and know to please
By graceful Nature's unaffected ease
Nor make to dang'rous wjt a vain pretence,
Rut wisely Test content with modest sense.

Sooner the cow shall fish for bream,
Or whales shall bunt the swallow ;

Or hedgehogs court the plover $
And even dogs and eats agree,

But to beg, or to borrow, or get a man's own.
The very worst world that ever was known.
First appearance on any Stage.
A gentleman being announced in the 'above man¬
ner, in a theatrical bid of fare, came forward m
the character of Hamlet, which he performed, or
rather attempted to perform in such a way, as in¬
curred the entire disapprobation of Hie whole au¬
dience ; however, amidst a torrent of groans and.
hisses, he steadily persevered in what he had un¬
dertaken, till the very last dropping of the curtain :
soon after which he advanced to the front of the
orchestra, and with great difficulty obtained a hear¬
ing of the following laconic address, which he
delivered with the greatest sang fro'td imaginable
—" Ladies and gentlemen, this is my fi <-L epeear-

A soldier having lost both his arms 111 a battle,
In which he had greatly distinguished himself, his

Sir John Doyle being lately told in the House of

Slave Trade, that the slaves were hrppy ; he said<
it reminded him of a mair w hom he had once seen
in a warren, sewing up the mouth of a ferret ; he
remonsi rated with the man upon the cruelty of the
act, but be answered, " Lord, Sir, the ferret likes it

Jldvice to I* armor sr.
The want of stabling for cattle is a very perni¬
cious defect in America ; by which milch cows
lose one half of their milk, calves and lambs oftea
perish with cold and wet, great quantities of hay
are wasted, the manure in great part lost, and
numbers of cattle abused to such a degree as to
lose their hoofs, and remain weakly the whole sum¬
mer.
When the Cold is intense, cover your horses,
and stop the crevices of the stable ; last winter
many horses received injury for the w ant of thg|
precaution.
Apple orchards are commonly, in the spring,
fested by an incredible number of caterpillars.—•
These feed on the leaves, and after being half
grown, devour them with such voracity, that many
trees become naked, and in consequence thereof
perish. This evil is prevented, by destroying the
insects dn their early stage, while they are yet in
their nests. They should be pulled down on the
gr iiiad, with a hook, early in the morning, and kil¬
led ;—young lads may ascend the higher boughs,
which cannot be completely cleared with the hook.
Delay for a few days may be very pernicious,, be.
cause these insects grow very fast, and, in their
advanced state, do not, at evening, repair to their
nests, but are dispersed over the whole tree.
To make good cyder, cheose sound and well ri¬
pened fruit. A single rotten speck in the apples
wall injure the I' Good farmers can produce
a beverage from their or„bai Js equal to that of the
European vineyard ; while their slovenly niigh-
hours drink the drgs of Pomona—t ie- corrupt on
of her treasures, equally unpleasant and unw hole-
some.
The. raising of sheep is earnestly recommended.
The great demand for wool will always afford a
ready sale, and pr iduce great profits to the farmer.
JEvwy patriotic citizen should discourage, as much
as possible, the killing of sheep.
Sheep suffer extremely from wet cold wenther.
1 heir houses in winter should be spacious, with a
door made of lattice-work, facing the south g aa
close, warm air is also very injurious to them.
Prudent and humane farmers, instead of destroy,
ing whole swarms of bees in their hives to get the
honey, clear them out into afresh hive, while they
take the comb out of the old one ; and they pre¬
sent them fr®m perishing in winter by putting*
SEHtabte quantity of'tamey into a wide earthen vess
»el, covering its surface with a paper, exactly fitted
L on, and pricked full of holes - with a large pin ;
this being pressed by the weight of the bees, keeps
a fresh supply continually rising..
Sheep* folds are of great use for manuring grounds
in a regular and. effectual manner. They may be
contrived at a small expense. Make a number of
light frames, like post and rail fence, of sufficient
height, with three slenders bars^ and the two end
posts pointed to stick in the ground ; join them by
withs, and place them where wanted, t he square
form is most coveriieht, as only three .sides need
he shifted. By moving the every morning, a email
field may be wholly penned and manured in the
course of a few nights if the flock of sheeep helarge.
To let thistles ripen in your fie Ids is a
shameful slovenliness : one will give you the trou¬
ble of cutting down fifty the next year.
Weeds growing rank about your house promoter

^ Drunkenness
Nothing is more erroneous than the common
observation, that men, who are ill-natured & quar¬
relsome when they are drunk, are very worthy

did not exist in them before.—Jfiekling.

The best of men appear sometime to be strange
compounds of contradictory qualities : and, were

meek man ; were they to rise up in judgement a~-

Human Degradation.

noise and the dog in so many instances raiied to arahk tat1 superi¬
or do beings whom I mast acknowledge as my fellow-creatures., and
whom my heart cannot but embrace with a fraternal affeciion
which must increase with the insults T see~ them suffer—I see the

JVatiwat Aristocracy*
That the best and ablest men should govern the worst and
-weakest, is reasonable ; and, this the aristoerary appointed by God
and nature. But what So we mean, when we say the best and
ablest .men 1 t}o we mean men of the best families x that is, men
in whose families riches and titles have long been conspicuous ? By
the ablest men> do we mean men who presses the greatest pow

danger of mortification. Good hearts, accompanied with good un.

They repair and compensate.
Riots.
Riots, tumults, and popular commotions, are indeed truly dread¬
ful, and to be avoided with the utmost care by the lovers of liber¬
ty. Peace, good order, and security to all ranks, are the natural
Sravts oi & free constitution, True patriots will be careful
obwafce every thing whiohfehcis to destfoy them ; not ontyh«!ms©
whatever tends to destroy th( m, tends to destroy all hUman happi-
ness. "but also because eVen an accidental outrage in popular as¬
semblies and proceedings, is used by the artful to discredit the
cause of liberty. By tb e utmost attention to preserving the pub*
lie peace, true patriots will defeat the malicious designs of servile
courtiers ; but, whatever may happen, they will not desert the
cause of human man nature Through a dread of licentiousness,
they will not forsake the standard of -liberty. It is the part of
fools to run upon Scylla in striving to avoid Charybdis—idem.
Lords,
The princes of Europe have found out a manner of rewarding their
subjects, by presenting them with about two yards of bice riband,
which is worn about the shoulder- They who are honoured with this
snark of distinction, are called knights ; and the king himself is al¬
ways the head of the order. Should a nobleman happen to lose his
leg in battle, the king presents him with two yards Pf riband, and he
is paid for the loss of his limb. Should an ambassador spend all his
paternal fortune, in supporting the honour of his country abroad, the
king presents hi'm with two yards of riband, which is to be consider¬
ed as equivalent tb his-estate. In short, while an European king has
a- vard of blue or green riband left, he need be under no apprehension-
of wanting statesmen, generals, and soldiers—Goldsmith.
Princes and lords may flourish or may fade ;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry—a nation's pride-
When once destroy ed, can never be supplied —Idem.

Col, 15aviess,. who fell in ,the, batria of. the Wabash, was a man
of-high character, a native of,.Kentucky. He was a lawyer whose
character was tinged with, those eccentricities that indicated future
genius. There was difficult question to decide before, the court
of Kentucky* involving an important question in regard to the v title
of an estate.—The case, embiaced a long, concatenation offsets and
sundry technical niceties... When the. case was called, a . Kentucky

While Augustus wns at Samos, after the famous bat tie of A-CtiugJ,
folch made him master of tite world he held a council to examine
the prisoners which had been engaged in Antony's party. Among
the rest there was "brought before him an o!,d man named Aletellus,
oppressed with years and ii.fii m'tlies, disfigured with a long beard,
and a neglected head of hair, but especially by his clothes, which
by ill fortune were become very ragged The son of this Metellus
Was one cf the judges^ and he had great difficulty of knowing
his father in the deploi able cohdition in which he saw him—At
last, however having recollected his features, instead of being
ashamed to own him he ran to embrace him. weeping bitterly—After¬
wards turning towards the tribunal, *'6ssar,"savs he, "my father
has been your enemy, and I-your officer t he deserves to be
to be puntthed, /nopeyou are willing o suppose my service merits
reward—The favour / desire of you is either to save him on my
account, or to order me to be put to death with him"—All the

The False Happiness of Tyrants.
Damocles, one of (he courtiers of Diouvsius the
Elder, tyrant of:Syracuse, .was- perpetually ex¬
tolling with raptures his treasures, grandeur, the
number of his troops, the extent of his dominions,
the magnificence .of, his palaces, and 4the universal '
abundance of all good things and enjoyments in Lis
possession ; always repeating, that. never man
was happier thaw Dipnysius-—44 Because you arc
of that opinion," said . the tyrant, 4* will you taste
and make proof of my felicity in person" ? The of¬
fer, was accepted with joy —Damocles was placed
upon , a . golden - bed, covered -with carpets of in¬
estimable value. The siderboards . were loaded
with vessels ofgold and silver ; the most beautiful
slaves ia the, most splendid habits stood around,
him watching the least signal to, serve him. . The
rno^t ^exquisite essences and perfumes were not
spared : the table was spread with proportionable
magnificence. Damocles was all joy, and looked
upon liimself as the happiest, man in the world ;
when, unfortunately casting up his eyes, he beheld
oyer his head the poiut of a sword, which hung
frpm the roof only by a single horse-hair. He was
immediately seized with a cold sweat? every thing
disappeared in an instant; he could see nothing-
hut lii^ danger. In the height of his fear lie desired
permission to retire, and declared he would be hap¬
py no longer.
44 Long credit is offered me."
Very welt ,* it shows that you ha\e eredii
now; and the way to keep it is to use it not too
freely.—Before you clinch the bargain, look about
you and consider a few points.
i. Is the price considerably higher than for rea¬
dy cash 3 and, together with this enhanced price,
have you also to pay interest ? If so, you are sure
to make a loosing trade-
2 If the thing be an article of clothing, or furni¬
ture or food or drink, which you can well enough
do without; then take it not on credit. Rather
wait till you have ready money to spare for it.—
It is better to turn the old coat than run in debt
for a new one. Old fashion furniture, is more
comfortable in the end, than articles of taste unpaid
for.
3. If the articles be a house, or land or goods for
sale, it alters the case some, but should not abate
your caution. I. Keep a sharp look out, least die
credit price too much exeeed the ready price. 2.
Consider whether there be a ihoral certainty that
you cau meet your payments punctually without
distressing yourself. 3. whether the thing or things
you buy, would at any time fetch you about as
much money as you promise for them, should
other resources fail. If so there is little occa¬
sion to venture."
Paste to stop holes in Culinary XJtensils.
M. Rustelyn.hiis invented an useful past©
to stop holes in culinary utensils To six
parts of yellow potter's clay, is to be added
one part of steel filings, a sufficient quantity
pf linseed oil. 1 his being mixed into a past#

are to be filled with it, and after exposure to

Lord Kelly was, like his prototype Falstaff,
-• not only witty himself, but the cause of wit
in other men." Mr. Andrew Belfour, the
Scottish advocate, a man of considerable hu¬
mor, accompanied by great formality of man¬
ners, happened to be one of a convivial party
when his lordship was at the head of the table.
After dinner, he was asked to sing, but abso¬
lutely refused to comply with the pressing
solicitations «f the company. At length,
lord Kelly told him that he should not escape;
he must either sing a song, tell a frtory, or
drink a pint bumper. Mr. Belfour being an
abstemious man, chose rather to tell a story
than incur the forfeit. " One day, (said he,
in a pompous manner) a thiei* in the course
of his rounds, saw the door of a Church in¬
vitingly open. He walked in, thinking that
even there he might lay hold of something.
Having secured the pulpit-cushion, he wa9 re¬
treating when, lo! he found the door shut. After
Some .consideration, he adopted the only mean
of escape left, namely, to let himself down by
the heil-rope. The bell of course rang, the
people were alarmed, and the thief was take a

Were dragging him away, he looked up, and
