The Grand Inquit of the county of firsdfoni now sit ung and enquiring for the the body of said county, LA (11.•4 nine,' to consider the great multiplicity of snits with which our Court of Quarter Sessions is crowded, a gest public grievance; while the people am borne down 1. oh Does. imposed to sustain the credit of the Com monwealth,. and which are absolutely riecessary • tc; pro. lent the horrible doctrine of Repudiation from being .ancuoned at least by practice. The great grievsuace of micreased taxation to pay the costs of Asssultand Batter. Typhng houses. Petit Larcenies, and other crimes o f kke grades, added to the delay caused thereby to the irsesvary business of the courts, renders the burthen intoierable.

" Liberty 1 The true liberty of ■ Min, lei would say, consists in his finding out,or being forced to find out," (as I would persuade Jurenis to find) " the right path, and to walk therein. To learn or to be taught what work he actually is able for, and then by permission, per suasion, and even comp:alien, to set about doing the same ! That is his true blessedness, honor, liberty, and maximum of well-being : if liberty be. not that, I for one, hare small are about liberty. You do not allow a pal pable madman to leap over precipices ; you violate his liberty, you that are win ;" (will Juvenis think of this!) and keep him were it - in a straight waistcoat, away from precipices ! Every, stupid, every cowardly and fool ish man is but a less palpable madman : his true liberty were that any wiser than, in any milder or sharper way. should lay hold of him when he is going wrong, and compel him to go a little more right. 0, if thou really art my senior, Signeor, my elder, Presbyter, Priest—if thou art in very deed my wiser, may a beneficient in stinct lead and impel thee to to ":conquer" me, to com mand me ! If thou do know better than I what is good right, I conjure thee, in the name of God, force me to do it ; were it by tie, such brass collars, whips, and hand cuffs, leave me not to walk over-precipices!" That I have been called by all the news papers a "Gee man" will avail me little, if my pilgrimage have ended in death and wreck. Oh: that the newspapers had called me slave, cooward, fool, or what it pleased their sweet voices to name me, and I had attained not death, but life! Liber ty requires new definitions." Yes, indeed, for most men it does ; and d can think of none more fit than that implied in those infillible words: " Ye shall know Me truth, and Me truth shall make y our free." '" If the Son therefore shall make you free, yr shall be free barked." Here is a much neglected, but the only true way of gaining freedom. Liberty is a good thing : but "liberties," such as men often take, are not so good—they are very commonly bad. Liberty is good; but liberty from what ! Not from wholesome laws-- not from wise restraints upon our passions. In a word, to put this . matter in another form. your Fero's. and Caligula are slaves—our Leighton* and St. Penis' free men. Choose thigood, avoid the evil—this gives liberty, and secures from chains. BINITOLL.

There Was time during the Middle Ages, when Chamouny was inhabited by monks,— The reigning lord of the country made a pre sent of the whole valley to .a convent of Bene- dictate Friars, in the eleventh century. Two English travelers. Messers. Pococke and Wind ham, drew attention to its wonderful scenery in 1742. and now it is a grand high-ccay of: summer travel, visited annually by three or ' four thousand people. A visit to Nlont Blanc ' has become a pilgrimage of fashion. Fashion does some good things in her day ; and it is a great thing to have the seeps of men directed ; into- this grand temple of nature, who would otherwise be dawdling the summer perhaps at immoral watering places. A man can hardly pass through the Vale of Chatnouny, before . ; the awful face of Mont Blanc. and not feel that he is an immortal being- The great moon tam looks with an eye, and speaks with a voice that does something to wake the soul out of its slumbers.

It was the greatest work of the Poet's great and powerful ima,,ina non, combined with the Jeep worshipping sense spiritual things in his soul. On visiting the scene, one is apt to feel as if he could nut have written it in the Vale itself; the details of the picture would have been somewhat different; and. confined be the re ality, one may doubt if even Colerid , e's genius could have gained that lefty ideal point of ob servation and conception. from which he drew the vast and glorious imagery that rose before him. Not because the poem is more clarions than the reality. for that is ttnoCwsible ; but because, in paintingfroni the,reality. the tome and sublimity of hi. , general conceptions would have been weakened by the attempt at faith iulness in the detail. and nothing like the im pression of the mrral grandeur of the scene. its despotic unity in the imagination. notwithstand ing, its 'canny. would have been conveyed to the mind.

" REGARDLESS OF DE:mu:AT:cm FROIR ASE QUARTER." fulfilling His word, mountains and all fruitful trees and 01 cedars praise the Lord.— He looketh on the earth and it trembleth; He toucheth the hills, and they smoke." The following is the original German hymn, to what the translator denominates a very bald English translation, to be compared as a curi osity with its glorification in Coleridge. It occupies but five stanzas of four lines, and is entitled Chamouny at Sunrise. To ;Clop stock.' I have here put it : into the metrical form of the original :* Out of the deep shade of the silent firvose, Trembling I surrey thee.,monniain-IsiSil of eternity, Dazding (blinding) summit. from whole rut height My dindylen:eivingspirit floats inta the Emits:ging- Who musk the pillar deep in the lap of earth Which, for past (nannies, fast props thy inset up! Who uptavrensd, high in the vault of ether, Mighty and bold, thy beaming countenance Who poured you from on high, out of eternal Winter's 0 jagged streams, downward with thunder-noise! And who bade aloud, with the Almighty Voice, ...Here shall rest the stiffening billows!"

Jehovah ! Jehovah ! cranes in the bursting ice ! Avalanche-thunders roll it in the cleft downward: Jehovah ! it rustles in the bright tree-tope; It whispers murmuring in the purling silver•brooks. This is very grand. Who, but a mighty poet, one seeing with " the Vision and the Faculty divine."—what, but a transfusing, all conquering unagmation,—would have dared the attempt to compose another poem on the same subject, or to carry this to a greater height of sublimity, by melting itAlown anew, so to speak, and pouring it out into rvvaster, more glotious mould ! The more one thinks of it, the more he will see in the poem so pro duced. a proof most remarkable, of the spon taneous, deep-seated. easily exerted and al most exhaustless power and originality of Cole ridge's genius.

Farmer's Creed. We believe in small farms, and thorough cultivation. We believe that soil loves to eat, as well as its owner, and ought to be manured. We believe in large crops which leaves land better than they found it, making both the far mer and the farm rich at once. We believe an going to the bottom or things —and. therefore, in deep plcwghing., and enough of it. All the better if with a subsoil plough. We believe that the best fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise. and intelli gence—without this, lime and gypsum bone and green manure, marl and guano, will by of little use. We believe in good fences, good barns, good farm houses, good stock. and good orchards, and children enough to gather the fruit. We believe in a clean kitchen. a neat wife in it. a spinning piano, a elean cupboard, a clean conscience. We disbelieve in farmers that will not im prove—in farms that grow poorer every year— farmer's boys turning into clerks and merchants farmer's daughters unwilling to work, and in all farmers ashamed of their vocation, or who drink whiskey till honest men are ashamed of them. Moreover we believe in taking a newspaper —in paying for it.and reading it._ Such hints are worth at lean a year's pay. FLTTENIjitI SWINS.—The celebrated farmer, Arthur Young. said, " The best method of feed. in all kinds of grain to hogs. is to gtind'it to meal, and mix it with water, m the proportion of five bushels of meal to an hundred gallons of water ; the mess to be well slimed several times a day until it has fermented and become slightly acid, when it will be ready for use.— In thus way two or three 1-..sitels must be kept for fermentation in succ es sion : and the profit will pay the expense." Change of diet makes fat swine. The unripe ears of corn should be given them before they become shrivelled and mouldy. Hand corn should not be dealt to swine without soaking boiling or grinding.— Indian meal will be betterfor boiling. er at least scalding; and etery kind of food, proper for swine, will be,greatly improved by evoking.— _ .ur swine will fatten the faster if they can haves-key access at will, to charcoal, which will give-41 , mm an appetite for food and pre vent them from Rasing a certain genteel disor der. called dyspepsia. knevaliatc.

GOODRICH & SON. impionment of as Old Farm. The following is part of a letter from a far mer in Chester county. Pa.. to the editor of the Cultivator : Seven years ago, my wife and I came into possession of about seventy acres of land. The soil naturally would rank as second quality this part of Pennsylvania. but was much re duced in fertility, and sadly out of order, by bad farming, continued during a series of years. and the last fourteen in the hands of yearly te nants, the last of whom pail one hundred dol lars a year. and frequently filatmed an abate ment Of that. The soil generally inclines to a yellow or reddish clay, with occasional stony ndges of sandy loam, the whole based upon a subsoil of impermeable red clay. In wet wea ther this soil becomes saturated with water, and.during the winter and early spring, when mid day thaws alternate with freezing nights. clover and other toprooted plants are thrown out of the ground and generally perish. The fences on this property were in a decay ed state ; not one good panel could be found but'briars, elder, sassafras, cherry, noxious weeds and stones, occupied both sides of every fence. On the ridges, red sand rocks, from the size of a store to a bake oven. were ob etroctions to farming, and in spots small stones were so numerous as to throw the plough out when in the best hands. Briers. garlic, St. Johnswort, yarrow. wild carrot, and every oth er noxious weed in this part of the email, kbeunded in the fields, and to add to the evils of this bad system of farming. the water from the public road and the adjacent higher ground ran through the dnng yard. leaching the ma nure of its fertilizing principles, and carrying its best substance to waste in the nearest mill dam, leaving fifty or sixty loads of light strawy substance to supply the exhaustion of thecrop ped soil. Ten bushels of wheat, twelve of rye, fifteen of corn, and one ton of rough field hay. per acre, may be set down as its produce in a favorable season. The experienced reader will believe this pic ture too highly colored, until I mention one encouraging feature on this farm, which all:int? enabled its occupant to pay any rent - if air About eight acres formed a valley. thro' which ran a small but eontant stream of water. Half a century ago artificial channels were dug st the proper level along both sides of its banks' for this stream to dow in. enclosing about that quantity of ground, which could be watered at pleasure, and with due attention could be made to produce two tons or more of hay to the acre, making the most valuable kind of provender for mulch cows. On taking possession of this land, my part ner aforementioned and I sat down to calculate the cost of making the necessary improvement to brine this land into a profitable condition: We borrowed five hundred dollars and com menced working. We enlarged our garden to ' an ample size, and . enclosed it with a good picket fence. I enlarged my hog pens to con tain thirty or forty two horse loads of manures had many loads of small stones hauled from the fields into the roads. and breaks made across the road, with inlets for the water into the sod fields, and open ditches or covered drains to carry the exceess off; plowed the road down below the barn. and filled up around the dung ard, so as to turn the water off the manure : next cleared the meadow of all obstruction of wood, stone, or unsightly heaps of earth, liar rowed the surface with a sharp and loaded har row. sowed timothy seed, opened the ditches on the sides and the middle of the meadow. and spread the water evenly over' its surface ; then moved the fences, grubbed the head lands, chopped level with the ground every tree not useful for fruit, shade or ornament ; collected the bones of animals, and oyster shells, and on heaps of briars or brash reduced them to tin der,, applied this as top dressing to poor spots of sward : applied thirty or forty bushels of slacked lime to every acre of arable land, and about one half has a second dressing of the same amount applied ; have taken up, split and caned to convenient places fur building ! wall. every rock in the way of farming ; hav ing enclosed the lands and divided the fields 1 with substantial fencing, and planted about two hundred and fifty grafted fruit trees ; and last ly, but not least in importance. I made during the fast year upwards of two hundred two horse loads of good manure. Now, what is the result in figures of -this system of farming—book farming, if you choose I to call it so ! Last summer, fattened six steers i on grass. ,that fed the previous year on straw and corn-fodder.; and sold them to the lunch- 1 et in bay fattened and sold forty-three sheep, one-th.rd of them my own raising ; sold one fresh cow. also my own gaming ;sold four Itur.dred pounds of chickens, bides a lot of other poultry ; sold Seven barrels of vinegar butchered four hundred . and fifty pounds of vim : fed heel, and one thousand nine hundred and firty . pounds of pork. also my own raising sold tifty 'br.she:s of potatoes, and sell about eight poundsid.butter weekly the year round: raised one two yeariald and a three year old colt made :he last season. though a dry one.

Well as soon as Gowen goes to fetch the log • the old Squire drags forward the code. and fines the fire so 33 to leave a bed 'kit *and , stands by ready to lift it into its place. Present ly in comes Gucom with a little eat stick, no bigger than his leg. and throws it on. Uncle Pelee got so mad, he never said a word, but just seized htiridin' whip. and gave him a'most an awful whippin.' He tanned his bide proper ly for him you may depend. Now, go. sir, and bring in a proper backlog." •• Gocum was dear grit as well as the old man, for he was a chip of the block, and no ads, take ; so out he goes without so much as =yin' a word. but instead of goin' to the wood pile. be walks off altogether, and staid away eight years, till he was one-andeweety..and his owa mas ter. Well. as soon as he was a man grown, and lawfully on his own hook, he took it into his head one day he'd go borne and see his old tither and mother agin. and show them he was alive and kickin', for they didn't know whether he was dead or not. never havin beard of or from him one blessed wood all that time. When he arrived at the old house. daylight was down and the lights lit, and he pled the keepin` room winder. he looked in, aml there was old Squire sittin' in the same chair be was eight years afore, when he ordered the backlog, and gave him such an"onmereafel whippin'. So what do e s Gocum do. but stops at the wood pale and picks op a most hagaceons log. (for he'd g r ow 'd to be a rarsi a thunderin' hie feller then) and openin' the door he marches in and lays it down on the hearth, and then lookin' up sail he -- 'Father. I've brought you in that backlog.' • Uncle Peleg was struck up all of a heap ; he couldn't believe his eyes that that great six (*enter was the boy he , had cow-bided, and he couldn't believe his ears when he beard him call him father and a man from the grave wouldn't hare surprised him more.--onfakilized, and be. dumbed for a ermine.
