I would certainly'recommend Thisparticu

thing ought to be' done for these• public
benefactors; and I am kith - ow-hat surprised,
after all, the good they have done -to the
city, that nobody should,. make honorable'
mention of it .except .theinielveg.
I have formed but Leto acquaintances.—
The first is with a small dog elite neigh
borhood, who seems to belong to nobody;
'and who, as a great favor, maeages to drop
in about meal times. I suspect him 9f be
ing •a mongrel, for he is a long .bodied fel
low, With. a. broad chest, remarkably `short
forelegs', set wide apart, and slightly bowed
outward; and as he.sits in front of me, he
is hot''unlike one of those •old fashioned
andirons iihiclive sometimes meet 'ivith
in country kitchen's. Ile has a remarkably
long and solid tale, .which he generally
carries like a flag-staff, at fight angels to
his body. • Ile is a grave, solemn dog, with
a melancholy cast of•countenance; but not-
Withstanding, I strongly SiispeCl that he is
-an-errant- knavet-and--from-my-window-l
have frequently observed him engaged iu
acts of lucency, which give Me but a poor
opiniopof his morals. However, a lonely
old man like myself ean ,pardon many
things inonewho seems to take pleasure
in his society; though it sometimes does
seem suspicious, that he should invariably
drop in, as ,I am taking my meals. I am
rather inclined to think that he has no bet
ter opinion of me than the rest of his neigh
bors; and being dissolute fellow himself,
has set me down for one of •the same kid
ney.
- In making his visits,. he always pauses
at the , door of the room, and throwingAis
head "op one side, with one eye•partly dos
' ed . , seems
,engaged in calculating my height'
'in feet and inches, after.. which he stalks
solemnly across the room, and seats 'WWI
- directly in-front of me, waiting to be
noticed: • ; . , -
The other a 4 equaintance of whom I spoke
.is a bright faced little boy, about ten years
of age, whoillrapite of the terrors of the
dwelling, breaknin upon my sOlitude; and
during the short ; time that he remains here,
the whole 'place assumes an• air of 'cheer-.
fulness. ' He is a glut-eyed little fellow,
with 'a merry laugh that seems to gush . ' out
'_ . roan the very bottom of his heart; he is
full of curiosity, asking a .thonsand
tiOns, and will sit by the hour listening
,to.
stories of my. past life. The formation of,
this 'acquaintance seemed 4t fir:st .te give .
great offence
.the 'dog; who r fer the first
few days after it, was particularly' assiduo4
in his attentions; but - finding that..the boy
did, not drop hi at the. hour o f meals, halms

The Faimer's Cabinet relattairf instance
"of the most successful farming we have
heard of for. sonic: dine..., It is, of an old,
practical, hard-Working farmer in the neigh-,
borhood - nf A in hersti-New nairipiiiire,- who
commenced the World as a' day-laborer,
and' who, notwithstanding he has at various
times Sustained heavy pecuniary . lOsses in
'thejuvestment of his funds, is now worth
at least one huadred Mott:sand dollars.
We make the folldwing extract from the
article-in-thiCaLinet
"This man, When :thirty years of age,
by the'avails of his indtietry, added to a :-
small legacy, was enabled to - purelrase and.
pay, in part,, for a farm of one hundred and •
thirty acres of land; one hundred of which •
was under cultivation, but in a very low
state. • The
,farm is 'altogetheroipland, with
a soil composed of loam, clay, and sand, in
the chief of which the latter preponderates,
the-former being yeast considerable; 'W hen,
he commenced farming, he adopted 'a par- .
tienlir system •of -.rotation, to which_he has_
plkilly idliTrecr Tint._
- iim to &he •
present, which is forty years, and his sue-
cess is the best comment on the worth of
the experiment. Ills mode was as follows: •
having divided his farm into, eight fields of
equal size, as near as possible, three of
,::
those fields were sowed with wheat .each •
year, one,with rye, one planted with•corn,.
two in clover, and one an open fallow, On
which corn had been raised the year pre
views: One of "the - tviio - clOrer fickle' is
kept for mowing, _ the other for_pasture,.
both of which are ploughed as soon after
the li7irrest as possible, •and prepared for"
wheat in the fall. All the manure which
is made,On the fahn for one year is hauled .
in.the spring on the field intended for open
fallow, which is then ploughed, and, after
ate or two cross ploughings through the •
summer, is al.;o.sowed with wheat in the
fall. The field on which the rye is sown,
is- that from which a 'crop, of wheat has•
been taken the same year, and which' had, .
'tee. crops. Corn is planted on
•from which 'rye ,had .been taken:
previous, tile stubbles• of wbkh
are., ploughed down in thejall.
on
seed is sown early in,the spring on two of
the wheat 'fields, those ‘vhieti have been
,•
most recently =mired , . By this method,
'each field yields three.erOps of.wheat, tiro
of olofer, one of rye, and one of corn, every
eight years.' `'Each,,field,in the mean time,
has lain an Opeii• and received 'a • ,
•heavy dtessing of Manure, perhaps at an • •
average of fifteen four-horse loads per acre. ,
