in his own partioular line.

could not help laughing at Andy's c&cme lor

pot tiuabter.
'What's that to you V said At.y.
The posjjtiaster, laughing at hi-' simplieity,
told him he could not tell what Inter to give
him unless he told him tin? direction.
The direi t ions 1 got was to gel a lettlier
here, that's the d irections.'
'Who gave yisi those directions !'
''J'he mast her.'
And m'Iki's your master !

'Vis; ha ve you any thing to say ngin it T
'Only that 1 mver saw you before.'

I wion't give yen any iMtet for the squire,
unless I know you're his servant. Is there
any one in thp town knows you ?'
'Plenty,' said Andy, 'it; nut every one is
as ignorant as you."
3ust at this moment a person to whom Andy
was known entered the house, who Vouched to
the postmaster that he might give Andy the
syii.iie's letter. "Have you one for me !'
"les, sr,' sa id the pout master, producing one
'foiii pence."
The gi:!einan paid .the fnirpence postage,
and left the shop with his letter.
'Here's n letter tin the sipiire,' paid the post
master, 'you've to pay uf. .elevenpence postage.'
'What "tid 1 pay elevenpence for !'
'For postage.'
To the divil wid you ! Didn't I see yon give

and a biggei lettlier than this ! and now you

'.No; but I'm sure of it,' said the postmaster.
'Well, you're welkin to be stirr, wire : but

you, and gi' inc the letthor.'
'( !o along, you stupid thief," said the post
master, taking npthe letter.and going to serve
a customer wi'h a mousetra,;v
While this person and ninny rrthers were

every now n:d then pulling in his Jiesd in tie?

lie waited fur above half an hour, in defiance
ofthe anathemas of the postmaster, andntlast
lelt, when he found it impossible to get cuih
mon justioo for his muster, which ho thought
he deserved as w til us another man ; for, under
this impression, Andy deterunnod to give no
more than the fourpence.
The cipiire in the .mean time wng getting
impatient lor his return, and when Andy made
his appearance, asked if there was a Jetlor for

' There is, sir,' said Andy.
'Then give it to me."

'(Jo back, you seouiidrn! ! or I'll hoivwip

Christianity and sound -views of life, has gone

has every iihlueeiiient to improve it ; hefimlsa

is never at a loss for -materials to occuoy his
mind. 1 do not think the physician has more
occasion fr research than the farmer ; the prop
er find of vegetables and animals will alone
constitu'ea wide and lasting field of investiga
tion. The daily journal ef a farmer -is a source
of nv.ieh interest to himself and others. The
record of his labors, the expression of his hopes,
the nature of his fears, the opinions of his neigh
bors, the results of his er.-pepiments, the -entire
sum total of his operations, will prove a deep
source of pleasure t-i try thinking tnau. lf the
establishment of agricultural sirt:ietf a. and the

effect of stimulating one farmer iu every town

A fev: weeks since tve publishcJ t:
communication from a correspondent,
giving the results of nn cxperiivretrt in

this village. Mr. Massey called uvu
us nn Saturday last to correct an iinpor

inviteil personally to examine Uic saiii
field, which we accordingly did, ani
t.'ow give the results of our ob.servati.xi.
Air. Massey took the seed corn witli
which he planted the field, a small
quantity, and soaked it in a solutioii of
srtlt nitre, commonly called salt pctrc,
and planted with the seed l-)juspiepa
red. The remainder of tlie field, tve
believe, was planted by the same indi
vidual. .'ow for the result. The five
rovvs.planfd with corn prepared with
saltpetre, will yield more than tw-entw
five rows pl.uited witluntrt a-nv pjepjra

adjoining row suflered severely.

He will be astonished at the striking
difiereitn'c between the five rows ani
U3 remainder of the field.
Hero is a simple fact, which if sea
srrna-'.rly and generally Jvnown, would
have savod many thousand dollars ti
the farmer; of this rouatrv aiine, in the
j article of corn, it is a fact, which
should be universally known, od is, in
all ito"oal)ility,one ofthe greatest disco
veries of modern times in tlw much iie
elected science of agriculture. At al
events, the experiment should be ex

rativcly nothing.
Mr. M. also stated sg to the result of
another experiment tried upoai one
bis apple trees last spring. It is .1 fine,
thrifty tree, about twentysfive or tlhirty
years old, but lias itwver in any cuvc year
ptodaoed over abrxj-tlwo busheJs ofr.p
pies. While in blossom last spring, 1ms
ascended the tree and sprinkled pj aster
freely on the blossoms, and the result is,
that ft will this season yield twenty bu
shels of apples. Now if the plaster wil
prevent tire Llast, it is a discovery of
jjreat importance. Mr. Massey wa
led to make tlie experiment by readin?

adjoining a meadow where plaster Juii
