tThc gfpavtmcnt. Farmers Should Visit More. AMERICA'S farmers work too hard. .Our seasons are so short,help so scarce, and there is so much to do, that it is almost impossible to find time to at tend to mental improvement, and the cultivation of social feelings. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." It is so with those who have attained to riper years. Wo all need relaxation, and we all take it one way or another. Would it not "lie well to find it by visiting a little more among our brother farmers ? l)o not make formal visits. Get into your buggy some evening before dark and take your wife to visit some good farmer friend. Talk over your agri cultural plans and prospects. Look at the crops and stock, and you will be almost sure to get some hint that will prove useful. It you see anything particularly good, say so. It will encourage your friend and stimulate him to renewed exertions. If your own crops are better than his you will feel none the worse for knowing the fact. Don't gossip Leave that to those who have nothing better than personalities to talk about. Don't stay too long. Don't bore your friend, or let him bore vou. Be cheerful and pleasant. Itcturn home early, and you will be astonished'with how much more spirit! you will goto work the next morning, j Things which had depressed you for days and weeks will put on a different aspect. We can all accomplish much ■more than we do if we only thought i so, and had courage togo systemati cally to work. A little relaxation, a conversation with one who has the same trials and labors, gives its new courage, and we attempt and accom plish with ease things which before oppressed us with their magnitude. This is not mere theory. We have ! felt the beneficial influence of a vis- j it to a neighboring farm. The oth- j vr evening, though hardly knowing! " which thing to do first," we rode j up to our good farmer friend A. about; two miles west of us. We found him ; examining a piece of turnips recent-; ly sown. Dry as was the weather, I they were just coming up. 110 had I sowed them broadcast, and we joke-j ingly told him'that was not the way! to raise Swede turnips. "Well, li don't know, which being interpreted, | means, " I guess I shall raise as good ! as you will." ''Come and look at j my wheat." Tt is a fine field of "wee-1 vil proof," ripening for the harvest, j He thought it would grow thirty bush- J < ls per acre, and sitting there on the i fence we figured up how much it would j bring at twenty shillings.per bushel, ! and discussed the probabilities of get-1 ting three dollars. He is an old far mer and a very successful one. Has brought up and educated a large family, and has everything round his house that is convenient and comfort . able. We particularly admired a large handsome walnut tree that stands over his well at the side d'>or towards the barn-yard. "1 brought the nut j of that tree," he said, "thirty years' ago in my pocket from the borders of; Conesus Lake." It is now a noble I tree, pleasant to behold and affording grateful shade, and as We look at it ! we could not holp thinking how many J pleasing associations of the past thir- j ty years must linger around that j tree. A boy was pumping water for the cows which had just been milked. " I used to have an open through to carry the water," he said, " but five j or six years ago F sawed a barrel in two and put the two halves in the barn-yard, and connected them with an old pump log." The one barrel near the pump and the connecting pipe are under ground. The water never freezes, and lie can at all times supply his stock with little trouble. " Come and see the garden." What splendid corn, and how much fi ner your beets are than ours ! Hav ing more tomato p'wits than we need ed this spring we gave friend A. a dozen or so, and here they aro grow ing finely and giving promise of a large crop. They beat those in our garden ! We would not admit that lie had given thciu any better care and culture than we had, but explain their superiority on the ground that his garden is thoroughly sheltered, while ours, at present, is exposed to the west winds. W c compared notes about oats and i barley. We had neither of us any thing to brag of. He had found tiie spring quite as wet and unpropitious as we had, but would not wait. "Why sir," he said, " the boy in dragging in the oats in yonder hollow had to ride on the harrow, and it went clear under water out of sight." Of course the crop was light in the low places, but on the whole, will be better than if he had waited as we did, till the whole field was in good order. Now was the half-hour spent on this farm lost ? Admitting that there was nothing particularly to see, was it not pleasant to talk over what we had done and what wo proposed to do. We are sure that we accomplish ed much more during the remainder of the week than if we had stayed a*, home. Farmers should visit more— I not goto the city, many go there too ' often—but visit each other, not at the village grocery, but at each oth- , er's homes.— Genesee Farmer. , To preserve meadows in their , productiveness, it is necessary to bar- , row them every second autumn, am- t ply top-dressing, and roll theui. i . Educational -Department. American Education. What constitutes the true design of our school system? is a questiou that i should be decided in the mind of every - person aspiring to befcome an efficient in ? structorof American youth. ' Much has be<?n said at various times, ' aud by various persons, in regard to an j "English Education." To us, the ex . pression has ever seemed to be cxcecd | ingly inappropriate. Taken iu a literal > sense, it can properly comprehend nothing t beyond a knowledge of the English lan ■ f.;uage; and scarcely that, for one can : hardly conceive of an education being ' literally English, French, German or ' ! American. But in a broader light, what I have we in America to do with an En -1 | ijfi.ih education? A certain course of in | struction may be well suited to the sea- I girt isle, but very far from being adapted to our land, j The education about which we should talk, and at which we should aim. is an American education. And we maintain I that the true design of our schools is to I give such a course of training to our youth. | It may be maintained with some ap j parent force, that the proper sphere of : our public school.; is simply to impart the j common rudiments of education, in as I much as it is impo. sible for the majority j of persons to have more than very ordi • nary literary acquirements. This is a truth use'ie-- to deny, though it is far from sufficient to show that we ought not to extend to as many as possible that degree ! and that kind of education requisite to ' the formation of a worthy and capable citizen. As it is not our pre-eut purpose to discuss the negative points, we will of- I fer a few suggestions on what we conceive j to be the true scope of our system of in- I struction. Although in the usual hypotheses of ! society and of Ihe necessities for its for- J ti.ation and maintenance, the imparting of | instruction to youth is not given as one of ■ its objects, yet among a people like our- j | selves, it is difficult to understand how we I i can look upon it as else, than one of I lie j most legitimate aims of a duly organized J State. It is the duty of a State to per | pctuateits own existence, then, certainly, | it is its equal obligation to be chief in the : | cause of general education. For how : can a Free State be perpetuated save by I the intelligence of its citizens ? And i j how does it speak for a State dependent I for its life on the virtue and wisdom of i its ma«seg, So leave the instruction of youth 1 J to the charity and enterprise of individu als or churches? ♦lien should its first duty be to enable J every man and woman to read with ease and write our noble English language. For the promotion of business and fair dealing in business, every man should j have a tolerable accuracy in figures. The Geography of America ought to I be more studied in our schools. The | Geography, descriptive and physical, of : our country in its minute detail should be | fastened on the mind of all youth, to im- I preSs them with the extent, power and 1 grandeur of their native or adopted land. ! The study of our language as a science I —that is to say, the study of its Ciram j mer, should be made to play an important part. For after one has sweated in the endeavor to obtain a mastering of native speech, he will likely have a keen desire llo.see, as also a taste to appreciate, its beauties its displayed iu chaste, instruc tive literary efforts. Moreover, by sprea ding a knowledge of the Grammcr'of our language, we tend to make easy and cor rect talkers, and thus promote social in tercourse. The history of our America abounds with truth stranger than fiction, recital as beautiful as true, lessons as instructive as they are enliveuiug, aud yet it is but lit tle studied in our schools. These studies should bo composed among those pursued even iu the hum blest of our schools. The privilege of these should be laid before the least aspi ring of the land. There are other studies scarcely less important, that perhaps cannot be laid before all, yet should be laid before as many as possible. 15ut of these we defer to speak to a more convenient season. While the art of reading and writiu" should be imparted to all, and a knowledge of our history be disseminated as widely as possible, and a good acquaiaance with the principles of our language be exten- < ded to as many as could receive it, there are other branches of a higher range that should uot be forgotten. Mathematics, at least as high as surveying, should be comprehended iu any weii digested, com- ' prebeusivo educational system. There is. however,a matter not taught in ourschools and colleges as thoroughly as it should be. There ought to be implanted iu the luiuds of our youth whenever it is possi ble so to do, a good degree of kuowlcdge in regard to the peculiar character of our institutions. Veneration for them should grow with our growth, aud strength with our strength. Impart such knowledge, and all men will see, that whatever bur dens we bear, whatever wrongs we suffer, there is a sure aud safe way to have them removed if unjust. Our education ought to be made more national; for as we move ou to the future, our population will increase two, three, and fourfold, and if there be not implanted in the generations then ac ting a more profound respect for the fun- i d uucntttl principles underlying all our law than u£» been in the past, there will be 1 mourni&i; iu the land.— AUcgkaniau.

PROSPTCTUS, Thr New York TRiRCNr.. first issued April 10, has to-day a larger aggregate circulation than any other newspaper published in America, or (we believe) in the world. Compelled a year since to increase the price of its several issues, ur submit to the pecuniary ruin of lis pp>prietors from the very magnitude of its circulation, it I•i- |< i "iMx sin<e p:u ted itli f*« »m»* |»:*t !■ 'fi-« its remarkable cheapness was a controlling recommenda tion: but others have taken their place, and it has now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu lar purchaser*—an excess of at least Fifty Thousand over those of any rival. And this unprecedented currency it ban achieved by very liberal expenditure* in procuring early and ant hentic intelligence, by the fearless expres sion of conviction*, by tin- drew employment of ability and industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in anv department of our enterprise, and by unshrinking fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free dom. By Tery large outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the various armies of the Union, ami by special ef forts to furni-h such information respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture, Ac,, as must specially interest f.wmers.we have ussldiously labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants and subserve the Interests of the Producing Classes.— The.t end we have at least measurably attained; f»r no other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is habitually read by nearly so many farmers mid their fhm- j ilies as is Tnr. Triih ni. in-day. \V e shall labor to increase both the number and the s itisfiirtion of this by far the ■ most numerous class of its patrons. During the existence of the Whig party, this paper j supported that party, though always sympathising with the more liberal, progiesslve. Anti-Slavery -'wing" there id. When new issues dissolved or transformed old organi zations through the spontaneous uprising of the people I of the Free States against the repudiation of the Mi-souri | Restriction, The Tribune heartiiy participated in that I moveinet t. and was known a* Republican. When the long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated in overt treason and rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this con spiracy as paramount to all other considerations, and de voted all its energies and efforts tothe maintenance of our Union. In every great controversy which has divided oui country, it has heen fob nil on that side which natu rally commands the sympathy and support of the large majority of school-houses ami the decided minority ot grog-shoos, and so doubtless will be to to the last. Ardently desiring ami strlvia* f»r the early and endu ring adjustment of our National distractions. The Tribune leave* the time, the nature and the conditions of that ad justment implicitly to those lawfully in authority, con- Hding In their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and not to embarra-s them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the A|xtat< lie rule—'• First pure thon peacea ble"—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla very i« the true and only absolute cure for our National ills—that any expedient that stops short of this can have but a transient and illusory success—we yet pro pound no theory of "reconstruction" and Indorse none that has b.-en propoundad by another—neither Sum ner's, nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Copperhead devices f<»r achieving "Peace" l»y surrounding the Re public Into the power of Its traitorous foes—but, exhor ting, the American People to have faith in their Govern ment, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury, we believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign Providence will indue timebiing this fearful struggle to such a close as will best subserve the true greatness of our country and the permanent well-being of mankind.
