belong to hiro,, things which can only be
done by the acquisition of knowledge.
This is the magical key which, directed
by industrious hands, opens the sources of
wealth and power. We do not wish to
hare the farmer become a speculatist and
vagarist; we do not wish to have him ac
quire knowledge to make him proud and
ashamed of his business ; we have no
wish to see a book or even a paper in his
bands when they should be holding the
pleugh or gathering the harvest; but
there are hours enough in the heat of sum
mer, and the long evenings of winter, if
properly employed, to give him a general
knowledge, of the science of agriculture,
the nature and qualities of soils, and the
improvements making in his business.

choice. We are happy to say there are
several in the country deserving the most
liberal support and circulation, and which
we think no one can read without interest
arid profit ; but we won Id most earnestly
urge upon every firmer the consideration
whether the soundest principles of utility
and economy do not demand that they
should give, by immediate subscription to
some work of this kind, a proof that they
are not ignorant or inattentive to their
true interest. G.
PRUNING APPLE TREES.
If is not advisable to prune very freely,
but to commence before the trees become
very large, and by a frequent and moder
ate trixnrain'g, prevent the growth of a
thick and crowded top. The operation
should be so performed that the straight
est and most thrifty branches may remain ;
and their distance asunder be such as
freely to admit light and air.
' In pruning, branches should be cut off
as closely as possible, provided it does not
occasion too broad a wound. The place
is then sooner covered with a new growth
of wood. r In general, wounds more than
an inch in diameter, should be protected
from air and. moisture. If not, they be
come dry and crack, and let in the rain
and rot, or admit insects. Tar, mixed
while heated fith a quantity of whiting or
pounded chalk sufficient to prevent its run
ping, is an excellent application. Or
Nearly, the same purpose is effected if
brick dust, or even fine sand, be substitut
ed for whiting.
Pruning apple trees may be advanta
geously performed any time during win-
FUEL.
Among, farmers it. is a very common
practice to have their fuel, where re-pla-ces
are used, chopped readv for burning,
in the woods; and when intended for the
stove, it is in the same place cut into three
or four feet wood, as the case may be, and
then at the house sawrfintp proper lengths
for burning. Wood, in many parts of our
country, is already an important article,
and i rapidly coming so in- all, since
most of our land holders and farmers are
more anxious to destroy trees than to
plant them,' appearing to be equally in
sensible to their beauty and their value.
In this "state of things is it not a decided
waste of means, for a farmer to get his
wood in the manner above described ?
We think it is and though reasons plen
ty as blackberries might be adduced, we
shall content ourselves with one. In cut
ting wood, when on a tree of two feet in
diameter, the chopper, if he understands
his business, will, at commencing on a
wg. ujite out a cnip, or call as it is called,
of from sixteen tq eighteen inches in length, i
This, where the lots are cut of the aver
ageJength of three feet, will cut up into
chips at least one fourth ofthe wood, and
these in most cases are left where they
falbto rot. Now every housewife knows,
that when wood is drawn in what is called
sled . lengths, or Jogs of twelve feetr and
these are cut up in the wood yard of the
house, that the chips furnish a very valu
able and convenient part of her fire wood:
and every-farmer knows, that though
when cut in this way many chins will bp
fine and unfit for burning, yet they are &t
from , being lost, quicldv rottinz when
scrpea into neaps, ana wnen arawn and

Of a most valuable kind. That tne farmer
should get his year's supply of wood in

ELEGANT EXTRACT.
From a Sermon on War, by Rev. Dr. Cbann!nK.
' The idea of honor is associated with
war. But to whom does the honor be
long ? If to any, certainly not to the mass
ofthe people, but to those who. are partic
ularly engaged in it. The mass of a
people, who stay at home and hire others
to fight, who slep in their warm beds and
hire others to sleep on the cold damp
earth, who sit at their well spread board, &
hire others to take the chance of starving,
who nurse the slightest hurt in their own
bodies and hire others to expose themselves
to mortal wounds and to linger in com
fortless hospitals, certainly this mass reap
little honor from war. The honor be
longs to those who directly engaged in it.
Let me ask, then, what is the chief busi
ness of war? It is to destroy human life,
to mangle the limbs, to gash and hew the
body, to plunge the sword into the heart
of a fellow creature, to strew the earth
with bleeding frames, and to trample them
under foot with horses hoofs. It is to
batter down and burn cities, to turn fruit
ful fields into deserts, to level the cottage
ofthe peasant and the magnificent abode
of opulence, to scourge nations with fam
ine, to multiply widows and orphans.
Are these honorable deeds ? Were you
called to name exploits worthy of demons,
would you not naturally select such as
these ? Grant that a necessity for them
may exist. It is a dreadful necessity, such
as a jrood man must recci! from with in
stinctive horror ; and though it may ex
empt them from guilt it cannot turn them
into glory. We have thought that it was
honorable to heal, to save, to mitigate
pain, to snatch the sick and sinking from
the jaws of death. We have placed among
the reverend benefactors of the human
race, the discoverers of aj.ts which allevi
ate human rufferings, which prolong,
comfort, adorn and cheer human ;if?, and
if these arts be honorable where is the
glory of multiplying and aggravating tor
tures and death ?
The Intellect. One proof of the
superior and independent excellence of
lofty endowments, may be found in the
fact that the brute creation have got the
senses in far greater perfection than man,
and yet their external knowledge is ablank
in comparison with his. A raven can
scent its prey at a distance of many leagues;
a hog can smell a truffle that is buried un
der the earth ; an eagle can see an object
with distinctness at the distance of several
miles ; the fall of a leaf cannot escape the
ear of a sleeping hare ; the polypus, says
Dumeril, is capable of receiving light n
self by its fineness of touch ; most quadru
peds are enabled to distinguish more accu
rately between wholsome and poisonous
herbs, than "the most accomplished and la
borious botanist ; and yet by his intellect
alone, man is able to triumph over the
comparative deficiency of his senses; and
with inferior modes of acquiring knowl
edge, to nsetotnat prodigious superiority
which he possesses.
Ltvzrpool Slave Trade. "It is
melancholy to be obliged to remember,
that the African slave-trade hns been one
of the principal means of the growth, and
one ofthe great sources of the wealth of
Liverpool. During the ten years from
1783 to 1793, it employed in that trade, in
all, 878 ships; imported to the West In
dies 303,737 slaves, the price of whom
averaged 50 each: making dEl2,l?6
830, $62,796,880. Deducting allowance
to factors, &c, the actual revenue to the
town was 1 2,294, li 6, or $59,0 1 1 ,756.
An abatement should be made from the
number of ships as stated here, the sum
being made by adding those registered in
each successive year; as the same ship,
in some cases, might have been employed
for half the period, more or less. Say
300 ships.
As this estimate comprehends onlv a
minor fraction of the period during which
this traffic was tolerated by Great Britain,
it may, perhaps, fairly be supposed, that

Mouse Trap. The following con
trivance for catching mice, will perhaps be
new to most of our readers: Provide a
large earthern pet, With a hole an inch or
two in diameter in the bottom, (a large
gardener s flower pot will do,) invert it on
a board or flat smooth stone, and sink it in
the ground, until the bottom of the pot is
about level with the surface. Suspend,
about two inches below the hole, by means
of wire, a smooth wooden roller, which
should be capable of turning fieely on its
axis The surface about it may be sprink
led with chafTor short straw, and grain or
seeds, and the roller be besmeared with
lard and other attractive substances. Up
on this roller the mouse leaps, and it im
mediately turns by his werght, and precip
itates him to the bottom, from whence he
cannot escape, as it is impossible for him
to climb the sides. Many may be caught
in the same trap without the trouble of re
setting. By burying the pot in mellow
earth or sand it is easily taken up and re
placed. This mtthod is particularly
adapted to catching mice in gardens, cel
lars, &c. Monthly Genesee Farmer.

Preserving grain. A discovery of
considerable importance has been an
nounced with regard to preserving grain.
To preserve rye, and secure it from in
sects and rats, nothing more is necessary
than not to fan it after it is threshed, and
to stow it in the granaries mixed with the
chaff. In this state it has been kept more
than three years without experiencing the
smallest alteration, and even without the
necessity of being turned to preserve it
frn humidity and fermentation. The
experiment has not yet been made with j good morals and good learning, we w:.

may, probably, be preserved in chaff! Ifwp can do anything by our labors to

Liberty of the- Press. Among
the most important events which have oc
curredjn Europe during the year 1&35,
may be included the abolition ofthe liberty
ofthe press in France, a bo'd and arbitra
ry measure, which Louis Phillipe deemed
necessary for the security of his throne;
and the assemblage of the despots of Aus
tria, Prussia and Russia, at the camp of
Kalisch, to confer on measures to be adopt
ed for perpetuating among their subjects,
and extending through all Europe, 'igno
rance in its most revolting shape, and the
odious doctrine of blind obedience to the
will of tyrants. But the effects of despo
iism to restrict the march of mind will be
unavailing. Tyranny will make a des

AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

Volume II. Published by the Eos'
ton Bewick Company. No. 47, Court $t
The publishers are encouraged by the
flattering reception and extensive circula
tion ofthe Magrazine for the year past to
prosecute the work with renewed assidu
ity; and with a constant desire to fulfil the
promise made in the outset ofthe work -Wc
intend to "stick to our text; and :0
serve those who have so liberally cheered
us with their kind patronage, with wha
is useful and pleasant.-' The VtU 7
dulce shall still be our object and aim !
We do not presume Jo instruct the ve teran
and erudite scholar who has spent thuty
or forty years in his study ner to lav
open those hidden mysteries of nature
which have escaped the ken ofthe mot'
inquisitive. Nor do we expect to approach
near to the moon or the other planet
as to tell what are the trees, or the birds
animals, which may there grow, or livr
and move. We leave such extraordinary
feats to those who are more visionan-, or
more during than we art But we 'hope
and intend to keep up the character and
spirit ofthe Magazine, in presenting sol
id and useful articles, which may 'be in
structive to a portion of our readers, and
not considered wholly unimportant "to lit
erary men. We consider the whole Uni
ted States as our field, though not ours ex
clusively; and we ask the favors of persons
oftastc and science, to communicate im
portant facts, and natural scenes & worU
of art, for the benefit of all our friends
As republicans we feel that we are of t.v
same family as those in the south u..l ::.

increase and strengthen this sentiment sr.rf
feeling, we shsll be ready to do the work.
Wh Mould call the attention of our pn s
ent subscribers to the terms of the Maga.
zine,and to the notice in our last number
relating to the subject. It is very impor
tant for us to know who propose to con
tinue taking the Magazine, and to receive
tne very small sum charged for it in ad
vance.
