First market Day In Lewlsburg! Saturday morning, Nov. 7, 1S57, inau gurated the looked-for system, by which the providers for the 3,000 human beings of Lewisburg may purchase most of their food directly from the producers of their neighborhood, and thus satisfy themselves as to quality, amounts, and prices. The day was favorable. The sales were not very large, and yet were encouraging and hopcfuL Scores of both sellers and buy ers, most anxious for the Market Days, were absent either really not prepared as yet, or lacking the moral courage to attend and make their own desires answered. Many looked on, who will hereafter coma in. Others want to " learn how," before Participating like the cautious lad, who determined never to go into water, until he could swim I Oar observation from 8 o'clock until 10, resulted in recording the following mmei of sellers in attendance : Mr. Hart- man, Mr. Glick, Messrs.

A Market House was erected, on the centre of Market Square, when there were neither purveyors nor customers. It was removed before we ever heard of Lewis : burg, but a suitable one can be rc-estab-j lished tr hen the .Vysfcm is so tcdl perjietej. as to warrant it. Uutil then, let all who want to buy or to sell, meet at tho Market Square, Wednesday and Saturday morn ings, and thus accommodate each other. Provision Tor Winter. Something for the Farmers to Read ! j It is scarcely ncccsnary to urge the pro- pricty of frugality iu family expenses. , The instinct of self preservation is indica- ting tLis to every one. But we have du ' tics to others, as well as to ourselves; and our power to do good and to distribute, will uuqucstionably bo taxed to the ut most. Suspended manufactories, and the interruption of every description of busi ness except such callings as are demanded by the daily want of food and clothiug, will throw thousands out of employment. Mauy are, indeed, at their wit's end for the means to live. Tho number of per sons dependent upon charity for subsid ence, will be probably iucrcascd this win tor beyond all former precedent ; aud for such a crisis, it becomes everybody to make Lis share of preparation. Providentially, there is iu our land no actual deficiency of the necessaries of life. But while the derangement of trade and business puts it out of the power of people to purchase, famine to tlum becomes a positive fact. Those who aro more fortu nate, will be compelled to relieve the ne cessities of the poor. The sooner we look this fact in the face, and take measures accordingly, the less will be the demand upon us by and by. And what is done, if commenced iu season, will be much more useful and effectual than if delayed until the heavy pressure of circumstances paralyzes exertion, and confuses counsel. Our land is a land of waste, compared with countries more densely populated. Articles useful for food are actually suf fered to perish, when the cost of sending them to market does not raise above a certain figure. This year, we can afford no such negligence. Whatever is service able for sustaining life should be carefully I preserved, so far as its nature will admit. ! The cry of food from those who have not ! the means of paying for it, will demand all that can be procured. Low prices are i high to those who Lave no money. Farmers who have grown rich upon tho liberal returns which tLcir labor has re- coived from city markets, must aid us in j providing for the poor charge, which, in 1 the nature of things, falls with an une qual weight upon the cities. ! Substantial aid may be rendered, with out the imposition of any very heavy tax upon our country population. If they on ; ly take care that there be no waste upon j the promises, and that even unmarketable ! articles be husbanded, the trouble taken i in storage will render a sensible relief j presently. We do not particularlizo, for I our rural frionds need no special advice ; upon a subject with which they are much I more familiar than we can be. The bint is enough if duly observed. Things which, as a market speculation, will not ' pay for transporting, as a means of life to ' the starving may pay a thousand fold, j The thoughtful cannot fail to perceive in the present distress a rebuke of our na ! tional improvidence, and the first step to- I wards reformation is in the repair of past errors. Every man's own conscience will : suggest to him bis duty, and the circum- I stance in which he is placed will indicate ' the mode in which he can perform it. Lily t'ajtar. The Doom or our Woeld. What this change is to be, wo dare not even conjecture ; bnt we see in tho heavens themselves some traces of destructive ele ments, and some indications of their pow er. The fragments of broken planets . the descent of meteoric stones upon ear I plotte .ihA avftM1inrr rnmo.tn woldinc tfioir loose materials at the solar furnace the volcanic eruptions of oar own satellite the appearance of new stars, and the dis appearance of others are all foreshadows of that impending convulsion to which the system of the world is doomed. Thus placed upon a planet which is to be burn ed op, and nnder heavens which are to pass away ; thus treading, as it were, on the cemeteries, and dwelling on the mau soleums, or former words, let ns learn the lesson of humility and wisdom, if we have not already been taught it in the school of i Revelation.

It is necessary, in these changing times, to devise means for feeding and clothing our bodics.as well as sustaining our estates aud preparing for tho world to come, i Mauy useful pieces of advice have appcar ' cd, uuder the head of ''Economy,'' in your journal to most of which I heartily eub- seribc, and all of which probably may be of decided advantage to some one or more. ' Vet I think the mo-it important aud at i tainablc improvement has not been pointed out, cither by your contributors, or in your selections. It is alleged that we Auicri : cans arc the most wasteful yet highly fa vored of nations. Our owu physicians admit, what all accurate observers from the Old World agree in declaring that no people under Leaven arc so improvi ; deut, iu food, as tLe Americans; that we ' cat too much, of the richest food, in the most extravagant forms, with the least benefit from it, and waste tLe most ! Grievous accusations, truly ; aud true as they are discreditable. The various ways iu which food may be more preserved and better cooked, I shall ' not attempt to point out. It is a question of details, with which I am not familiar, ' but which is worthy of study by every housekeeper and cook, j One thing is certain, lie rat loo much that is, more than is necessary, if pro ! pcrly taken, to secure us health, strength , for labor, and elasticity of mind and body. Dr. Benjamin Frankliu's advice was : I "Eat not to fulness." Stopping while the ! appetite is yet good, affords most enjoy ' incut, and docs not oppress and overload ! the stomach. Too much eating tends to ' physical and mental dulness, aches,fevcrs, : constipations, aud various other forms of j disease. j lie eat too fast. We sit down at our i tables in a hurry, ' bolt" our food in a hurry, and hasten to our work or business, perhaps compelled to drink too much li quid at the same time in order to "wash down" our hasty meal. This is all wrong. , We should rest a short time, both before , and after our meals, for the good of diges- tion. We should cat slow, that the juices prepared by nature to mingle with our ' food may have time to perform their office, and aid in swallowing without resorting to j any liquid, tho use of which while eating : is nowhere advised. ! Jl'e do not cJiew our food mMcientfy. Whatever we eat should be reduced to the finest particles, in order to secure its vir- tues. Our teeth were given as to cut up aud grind our food to atoms. We do not : secure tho full benefit of food, until we chew it completely, and thoroughly incor- i porate the gastric juice with every particle. : There are those who swallow meat, bread and vegetables in large pieces, or almost 1 whole, who thus throw a burden upon the : stomach which it was never designed to I bear, and thus lay tho foundation for dys- pepsia and other diseases. A little food, properly cooked and masticated, is more I nourishing and healthful than much food j merely "devoured." j I have taken up room enough in pre senting a few plain facts which all can un ; derstand and reduce to practice. Would we all adopt the old-country fashion of j making our eimplo meals a daily family ! re-union, where, eating slowly and making the most of our food, cheerful conversation : should be kept up, we should all promoto 1 health, economy, and happiness. Try it, j and prove it, every one. P1IILOS. Shelter for Stock. Many farmers still neglect their animals j in winter, feeding them from the stack yard, in tho open air. This practice is not only barbarous, but very expensive. It takes a third more of hay to carry a cow through the winter, by this method, and : with the best of bay she will not come out in good condition. Warm stables are a substitute for fodder, and an animal sheltered in them is much moro easily kept in high flesh. Then, by stabling an- : imals, we can save all the manure, which is quite too large an item for farmers in this age to throw away. Many who have large farms, and do not wish to build a barn large enough to hold all the hay and grain, build several small barns in differ cnt meadows. These save the carting, both of hay and manures. In no case should hay bo foddered out to cattle with out some kind of shelter. A hovel open ing to the south can be made very cheap ly, and with light walls and thatched roof, it will keep cattle quite comfortable. They will save cost of building in a single winter. Now is the time to put them op. John T. Gilman, editor of the Bath Organ, Maine, says, after extensive trav eling in both regions, that more corn, wheat, beans, peas, buckwheat, potatoes, barley, &c, are raised to the acre in the East than in the West. The raising re quires more labor in the Eastern States, but more attention is paid to fertilizing. Must deck ease the importation of Foreign goods. Must b-a ischeased the Tariff, t3 a Prifvetivc standird. t "PRAYING HOSES." Mr. 1 , a merchant in Baltimore, did a very heavy business, especially iu grain. I One morning, as be was passing over the j vessels at the wharf, he stepped upon the ' deck of one, at the stern of which sat a ! negro man whose countenance gave sure i indication of distress, and he accosted him with, "Hey, my man ! what's the matter with you, this morning?" The man lifted I bis eyes, and replied, "Ah ! raassa, I'se iu great trouble." "What about?" "Kase I'se fotch up here to be sold." "What for? what have you been doing? have 1 you been stealing ? or did you run away ? ' or what ?" "So, no, massa, none o' dat ; j it's because I did'ot mind the audcrs." j "What kind of orders ?" "Well, massa, I tell you. Massa Willuin very strick j man, and werry nice man too, and ebry ; body on de place got to mine Lim ; and I I break trcw de rule ; but I didn't tend to break de rule ; I forgot mesef, an 1 got too high." "It is for getting drunk, then, is it ?" "O no, sah, not dat, nother." I "I can get no satisfaction from you tell me what you are to be sold for . "i or prayin, sah." "For praying ! that is a strange tale, indeed. Will your master not permit you to pray V "O yes, sah, he let me pray easy ; but I hollers too loud.' "And why did you halloo so in your prayer ?" "Kase de Spcrit comes on me, and I git's happy 'fore I knows it; den I gone ; can't 'trol mesef, den ; den I knows nutbin 'bout massa's rule; den I boiler if ole Sattin hissef come, wid all de rules of de 'quisition." "And do you suppose your master will really sell you for that?" "O, yes; no help for me now; all de men in de world couldn't help me now ; kase when Massa Willum say one ting, he no do anoder." "What is your name?" "Moses, sah." "What is your master's name ?" "Massa name Colonel Willum C." "Where does he live?" "Down on do Easin Shoab." "Is he a good master? does he treat you well?" "O yes ; Mass Willum good ; no better massa in de world." "Where is he?" "Yander he is, jis comin to de warf." As Mr. B. started for the shore, he heard Moses give a heavy sigh, followed by a deep groan. Moses was not at all pleased with the phase of affairs ; he was Btrongly impressed with the idea that B. was a trader, and intended to buy him. Mr. B. introduced himself to Col. C, and said, "I understand you wish to sell that negro man yonder on board the schooner." CoL C. replied that he did. "What do you ask for him ?" "I expect to get sev en hundred dollars." "How old is he ?" "About thirty." "Is he a good hand ?" "Yes, sir, he is the best hand on my place. He is steady, honest, and indus trious. He has been my foreman for the last ten years, and a more trusty negro I never knew." "Why do you wish to sell him?" "Because he disobeyed my orders. I built his quarter within a hundred yards of my own house ; and I have never rung a bell, night or morning, that his horn did not answer in five minutes. But, two years ago, he got religion, and com menced what he termed family prayer; that is. prayer in his quarter every night, aud morning ; and when he began his prayer, it was impossible to tell when be would stop, especially if, as he termed it, he got happy. Then be would sing and pray and halloo for an hour or two to gether, so that you might hear him a mile off. And he would pray for me and my wife and children, and all my broth ers and sisters and their children ; and sometimes, when we would have visitors, Moses' prayers would interrupt the con versation, and deatroj the enjoyment of the whole company. Even after I bad re tired, I could not sleep. I bore it as long as I could, and then forbade his praying so loud any more. Moses promised obed ience, but he soon transgressed ; and my rule is never to whip, but when a negro proves incorrigible, I sell him. I pardon ed Moses twice for disobedience in pray ing so loud, but the third time I knew I must sell him, or every negro on the farm would disregard my orders." "You spoke of Moses' quarter ; I sup pose from that he has a family." "Yes, he has a woman and three children or wife, I (appose be calls her now, for soon after he got religion, he asked me if they might be married, and I presume tbey were." "What will you take for her and the children ?" "If you want them for your own use, I will take seven hundred dollars ; bnt I shall not sell Moses nor them to go ont of the State." " I wish them all for my own use, and will give you fourteen hundred dollars." "Mr. B. and CoL C. then went to B.'s store, drew up the writings, and closed the sale, after which they returned to the vessel ; and Mr. B-, approaching the ne gro, who sat with his eyes fixed upon the deck, seemingly with the most awful fore bodings, said, Well,Mofes,I have bought you." 'Moses made a very low bow, and every muscle of his faoe worked with emo tion as be replied, "Is you massa ? where is I gwin, massa 7 is I gwin to Georgia ?" "No," said Mr. B , " I am a merchant here in the city, yonder is my store. I want you to attend on the store ; and I have purchased your wife and children, too, that you may not be separated." j "Brecs God for dat! and, massa, kin I go ; to mcctiu' sometimes ?" "Yw, Moses, I you can go to church three times on the : Sabbath, and every night in the week ; ! and you can pray as often as you choose, ' aud as loud as you choose, and as long as : you choose, and get as happy as you . choose ; and every time yoa pray, I want you to pray for me, my wifo, and all my : children ; if you are a good man, your prayers will do us no harm, and we need ! them very much ; and if you wish to, yoa : may pray for everybody of the name of B. in the State of Maryland. It will not iujure them." Early the next spring, as Mr. B. was staudiug one day at the store door, he saw a man leap upon the wharf from the deck ' of a vessel, and walk hurriedly towards the store. He soon recognized him as ! Col. C. They exchanged salutations, and to the colonel's inquiry after Moses, Mr. B. replied that be was up stairs measuring grain, and invited him to walk up and see him. Soon Mr. B.'s attention was arres- I ted by a very confused noise, above. He j listened, and heard an unusual shuffling i of feet, some one sobbing violently, and some one talking very hurriedly; and he determined to go up and see what was go ing on. When he reached the bead of the stairs he was startled by seeing Moses in the middle of the floor, down upon his knee, with his arms around the Colonel's waist, and talking rapidly, while the Col onel stood weeping. So soon as the Col onel could sufficiently control bis feelings, he told Mr. B. that be bad never been able to free himself from the influence of Moses' prayers, and that, during the past year, he and his wife and all bis children had been converted to God. Moses responded, " Bress God, massa C. ; dough I way op her, I nebber forgit you in my prayers ; I oilers puts de ole massa side do new one. Brese God ! dis make Moses tink 'bout Joseph in Egypt agin." The Colonel then stated to Mr. B. that bis object in coming to Baltimore was to ! bny Moses and his family back again. But Mr. B. assured him that it was oat of j the question, for he could not part with I him ; and he intended to manumit Moses I and his wife at forty, and hie children at ! twenty-five years of age. ! Old Moses is still living and doing welL j He long since obtained his freedom, and ; at present occupies a comfortable bouse of his own ; and I suppose sings and ! prays to bis heart's content.

To enable you the more readily to give the information here sought, I will refer you to tho returns of tbe United States Census of 1850. By that document it appears that tbe popula tion, in the States mentioned below,stood: Fopulution. itulattoe. trcilicii STiTla.

Reason as we will, tbe impelling pow er in the acconiplL-hmcnt of any design, i is reward. A return in some form, acta I ate laborers in all conditions of life ; and ( amid the multifarious employments pur ' sued by the human family, the gratifica- I tion of some peculiar development of mind, J 1 or the supply of some want, is the inccnt- j I ive that inspirits the toil-worn and urges j ' the task to completion. Were it not for this "meed to be won," enterprise would j lie down and die the cultivated fields be-1 i come desolate, silence brood where now is I j beard the hum of the busy wheel and the j ! click of the shuttle, ships would rot, the ', ; ocean indeed be a waste of waters, while) ! despair, mantling the human face, would ! reign supreme. j M urk is the necessity of a healthy man, ! and one who would remain so. Physical : strength is given us to use, and mental 1 power is furnished to guide and direct,that ! ; we be not "blind leading the blind" and meeting with the fate inevitable uuder ' sncb circumstances. Work is to a com ' munity what the heart is to a physical ! system the engine which not only gives ' circulation to the source of life, but pre ' pares for use, by furnishing whatever is needed to sustain, invigorate and fully de velop. The farmer amid the class of product ive laborers stand pre-eminent, and in bis peculiar vocation every stroke should be made to tell fruitfully. The mechanic may go back, tear down, and rebuild with out more detriment than the loss of time ; tbe farmer, if he mis-direct bis energies, wastes not only time and toil, bat the re salts thereof. The principle inculcated in tbe adviee of Putnam at Bunker Hill j "don't fire till you see the whites of their ! eyes" is one worthy of study ; there sltou'd be no waste of ammunition. From the turning of tbe furrow to the marketing of produce, every implement and assistant ' should be right. With the best tools tbe j best work can be performed, and wherev er the best labor is given yon will be sure to find the best returns. With a tingle exception, every means to j insure success may be taken, but the re : suit may turn upon that isolated point. A striking illustration of this fact was ob served a few days Bince, while on a trip through the Genesee Valley. A friend was possessed of two pieces of wheat forty, and ten acre lots. To the former of these, he bad held the title for a number , of years, and had done what was in his I power to render the soil fertile by manure, drainage, See. ; the latter was a late ac j quisition, and everything, except drainage, had been given with the hope of profitable crops. Equally caretul ol tne preparation of the land, selection and application of the seed, it was to be supposed, that, be ing similar in soil, and receiving similar treatment, coincidence would be carried out to the end. Tbe result is, that while tbe forty acres will yield considerably over cignt nnnarea imsneis, tne ten woui i have been quickly sold to any one offering mry nusucis. iuo uampnes 01 tue bmii j - - - - had retarded tho growth and hardening of Le Them now do It ! the grain, and the midge bad levied upon I Thcre neTer was'lnJ l'acM ncTcr m and appropriated almost the entire crop.

Row Dear Sir: Believing your readers are interested iu the snceess of the Chinese Sugar Cane, I send yon the result if an experiment which I made this sea- son. I planted a spot of ground in mf lot, ! fwhieh is gravelly,) about the middle of 1 Juue, iu Lills as corn is usually planted, ' three feet apart each way, and about four ' grains to the hill. About the middle of ' October, when the first killing frost came, I cut it, though it was not ripe ; the seed bad hardly begun to change color. Having no mill or press convenient, I cat about two-thirds of tbe largest part of tho stalks in pieces two or three inches in length, put tbcm in a large kettle, and ex tracted the sap by boiling. Tbe ground planted contained two per cht, which produced above two hundred stalks of the cane ; and I bad about two gallons thick syrup, part of which I boiled down nearly to the consistency of sugar, and which appears to be fast granulating. It U now about equal to that in the bot tom of a barrel of good syrup, and will weigh, probably, nine or ten ponnds. The syrup, about three quartsin the opinion of those who have tasted it is equal to the best eyrup molasses in flavor. The cane was about three-fourths of an inch in diameter, and was not as ripe as i it should have been, on account of late planting ; but, with ail the disadvantages, the experiment would be equal to one hun dred and sixty gallons of syrup to tbe acre, and allowing one half for expenses, would leave a better profit than ordinary tanning does in Clearfield county.
