31.1S2C. i I Eittmti Friend The Literary and Scientific Clatt Book, published by thee, happened to come under my notice, while selecting nine books, for tht very purpose for which this is designed. 1 1 is a work of singular merit, and I am glad to perceive, by the title-page, that it is There wis a want of just such kind of a -book in our schools, aud so generally felt, that I am persuaded thou will find the demand of this very extensive. It is hardly worthy of notice, but at tbe suggestion of many persons, booksf Hers, teachers, literary men, aod others, I commenced, in 1824, the compilation of much such a work, more than half finished the copy, nor did I abandon the ention, till I saw thy Clss Book, but left it unfinished, occupied by other business. My laber is superceded, and I aui elad of it.

for the work before me is a better one than mine would have been. I wish thee much patronage aud pei feet sue- cess. I With great respect and esteem, thy ftiend, HORATIO GATE3 SPAFFORD.

Monet As usuil, makes a prodigious figure every where but in prison, and here it makes barely a noise. "The money market," says the man of business, "is in confusion.1' If be bad said the paper market it woulJ have been more correct, sa I am rather inclined to the opinion that the confusion originates precisely at the point where there is no money. Jo the market hut where swindlers bave at-tempted to thrust false money into its place. The shock, say the western papers, is subsiding business resumes its wonted regular channels. Yes, after there have been a few hundred great bankruptcies declared, and a few tbonsaod innocent, unsuspecting persons knaved out of all they bad it is about time for the shock to begin to subside but the shock will soon return to make more knaves, and unmake and destroy more honest men.

Thus we go on shocking and UDshock-ing in this land of justice and equality. Will it ever be discovered that there ought to be no legal difference, as there certainly is no moral difference, between all the various kinds of robbery Western Tiller. Mr. Sdseph H. Cole, of Vassalboro' this year raised a watermelon which weighed pounds.

We have seen tnuny larger, hut no! in this latitude. Oue grew in Georgia the present season which weighed near 50 pounds. The climate of Maine, like that of all the country, grows warmer as the country is more cultivated. No state in the Union can now excel Maine in that most valuable kind of fruit the apple. Cherries of all-kinds we have in abundance the red plum is indigenousmost other kinds thrive when planted.

We have een, this year, very fine white grapes, pears, ciuak-melons, Too little attention, however, appears generally to be paid to gardening. Culinary vegetables are not neglected, but very few pay much attention to ornament. There is nothing gives such an air of neatness comfort, and rural beauty, as a fine girdn, rich with fruits, and fra grant with flowers, and a few handsome trees around a dwelling luxuries within the reach of every farmer. A log cottage so situated, looks more beautiful than a huge two or three story bouse, perhaps unfinished, without a tree or shrub near it, and looking solitary and comfortless like a palace in a desert.

Agricultural Axioms Id do department is Bacon's celebrated maxim more (rue, ('knowledge ia tbao in regard lo agriculture. Entice do farmer can be accounted skillful in bis profession, who does not avail himself of the information to be derived from the expert-eoce of others; and who does not improve his knowledge of husbandry by the perusal of the ablest works that have been written on that subject. It is absurd to imagine that the communication of knowledge by printing, which has promoted the advancement of every qi hi science, should be of no use, in agriculture Endeavor to raise good grain, for 'it will always sell, even in years of plenty whereas, it is only in seasons of scarcity tbut there is a demtnd for grain of an inferior quality.

Let your stock of cattle, borses, be of the best sorts, and more remarkable for real utility than Tor beauty or fashion. Be not above your profession, and always consider it ss the first that any man can follow. Admit 00 guest into your house that cannot live upon the productions of hi3 own couctry. No farther ought to undertake cultivate more land than be can stock and manage to advantage. It is bet-ter to till 30 acres well, than 100 in a slovenly manner.

A man's owning a large farm, is no excuse for imperfect tillage. What he cannot improve he need not undertake to cultivate. Most of our land in New England, if left to tbe operations of nature, will soon be profitable for wood and timber. Large pastures may be prof Stable with no other labor than what is necessary to keep them clew of buebe a. Bui lo run over twenty acres cf plough land 01 mowing land for what, with pood cultivation, may be obtained from fivt, is the quintrsceoce of bad husbandry.

A large farm, without skill, capital, and industry, is a plague to its owner, It is like wbat somebody said of self-righteousness, the more have -of it the worse you are off. Apiculture and manufactures. There is po way in -which agriculture can be so well. promoted as by the patronage and increase of manufactures, a bone market is better for (he farmer than a foriego market, because it is at band, has nothing lo do with (be power or caprice of foreign smtiuM, and if mora regular am) better to depend upun A.
