Agriculture, The ancient Romans, pre vious to their degeneracy through foreign conquests, were an agricultural people. The land was divided into roiuute portions and necessity compelled its cultivation. Few farmers visited the citv. except on market davs, which Were every month, when they disposed of thrir prodvee and examined the laws posted on the capitol and in the mark et place a certain number of days before their adoption by the people. Subjoined are some of the Maxims most common a- raong this class of the Roman people, and which afford a pretty good test of their agn cultural character: 1. He is a thriftless farmer who buys any thing that his farm can produce. 2. He is no husbandman who does any work in the day time, that can be done in the night, except in stormy weather. 3. He is worse who does on work days what be may do on holydays; and 4. He is worst of all who in a clear sky works within doors, rather than in the field. f Kennebec Journal.

Cattle should have salt twice a week; or the better method-is to put salt where they can get it when they please; this method is recommended by many intelligent iarmers who havelong practiced it. A small quan tity of saltpetre mixed with salt is very ben eficial to cattle. Unleached ashes mixed with salt, in the proportion of eight quarts of ashes to one of salt, is said to be conducive to the health of catlle2 horses', and sheep; it increases their appetite, prevents botts in hores and rot in sheep. This is doubtless useful in hot weather, as the alkalies are of a cooling na ture, and tend to reduce the stimulating powers of the blood. lb.

We have recently witnessed a method of making cheese, which, although not of recent invention, may be new to many diary women within the circulation of our papers. It is some thing after tbe manner adopted in the man ufacture of Tune-appte cheese. The curd is prepared as in tne ordinary way, and put in a piece of coarse canvass, a portion of the threads of which have been drawn out7to make it open, and allow the whey to escape freely. It is then bung up in tne cheese room, and requires no farther attention, as the cheese fly will not attack it. and it is not subject to mould.

Importance of Cleanliness and Suitable, Clothing for Children. The following extract is taken from " Dick on the Mental Illumination and Improvement of Mankind a book which ought to be in the possession of every in telligent mother, wjio is desirous of ac quiring information on many essential points in the education of youth. Ed. Few things are of more importance to the health and comfort of children ihan cleanliness. The functions of the skin are of peculiar importance in the animal sys tem, and have a great influence in pre serving the health and vigor of the corpo ral frame. Through its millions of pores the insensible perspiration is incessantly flowing, and more than one-half of what we eat and drink is in this way discharg ed. Hence the danger which must arise from frequent obstructions of this essen tial function from wet, excrements, dirty linens, and every kind of uncleanness. From want ot attention to this circum stance, various diseases of the skin, rup tions, catarrh, coughs, the itch, obstruc tions of-the passage. and even many fatal disorders, derive their origin. It is mju nous both to the health and the virtue ot man ; it stupifies the mind, sinks it into a lethargic state, deprives him of animal enjoyment, and of the esteem and regard of others. Whereas, cleanliness promotes both health and virtue, clears the under standing, encourages to cheerfulness and activity, prevents many loathsome mala dies, and procures the attachment and es teem of associates. Hence the incessant and minute attention which ought to be paid to this circumstance, by parents and nurses, in the rearing of the young. Cleanliness in domestic life may le con sidered as one of the cardinal virtues, as an essential requisite in the physical edu cation of children, and, perhaps, the only province of parental care in which thev can never do too much. The pores of the skin should be kept open by washing the body, and changing the clothes and linen whenever they are unclean. In the first instance, children may be bathed in luke warm water, and afterwards with water of a colder temperature, as they are able to bear it. Some parts of the body, such as the interior of the legs, the folds of the neck, the arm-pits, and the parts behind the ear, which are liable to be inflamed, demand particular attention. The nose, likewise, should ba occasionally washed, and thoroughly cleaned ; it having been found that the unpleasant smell peculiar to some infants is owing to the habitual neg lect of cleaning that organ. Great atten tion ought to be paid to children in regard to their evacuations; and everything that may occasion dampness, and every kind of offensive matter that might adhere to the skin, should be speedily removed. As children are liable to perspire more than adults, frequent change of their linen is a matter of some consequence ; and all pa rents who can afford it, should give them clean dry linen crery day. It is as much the duty of parents to wash and clean their children as it is to feed and clothe them ; and children that are frequently washed and kept clean, gradually improve in health and vivacity ; cleanliness becomes j familiar to them, their spirits are enliven j C(j anci lnev RT0W up virtuous, polite, and i hannr The Russians, with all their ignorance and rusticity of manners, are said to be su perior to the more refined English, French, and Germans, both in a delicate sensibility of cleanliness and in the prac tical use of the bath. A foreign gentle man, travelling in Russia, had hired one of the natives as his groom or postillion. After having travelled several days to gether in very sultry weather, the semi barbarian, upon his knees, reques'ed his employer to grant him leave of absence for two or three hours, to refresh himself with the luxury of a bath, which to him i was "indispensable, and the want of which he had long felt. In Russia almost eve- ry house has its bath ; and the peasants 1 in that country possesss a refinement of sense, with respect to the surface of the , hod . with n.hich the most eWant ladies . 11 i in ouier coun.riei s.'ein luian y unacqiKiint- ! , Even the American Indians, who can not change their furs so frequently as we can do our clothes, put under their children the dust of rotten wood, and re new it as often as it becomes damp. The clothing of childrt n likewise re quires some degree of skill mid attention. I This, indeed, is so simple a mat'er.that it is surprising that persons living in civil iz ed countries should ever have erred so egregiously in regard to it ; and yet it is a fact that many children have been ren dered deformed, and others have lost their ! lives, by the pride and folly of their pa rents in respect to this circumstance. The time has not long gone by (if it have yet passed) since a poor child, as soon as it breathed the vital air, had as many rollers and wrappers, sometimes ten feet in length, applied to its body as if every bone had been fractured in the birth ; and these Were often drawn so light as to gall its ten der frame, and even obstruct its vital or gans a piece of folly so repugnant to the dictates of nature, that even the most sav age nations never commiPit ; and, hence. deformed children are seldom or never found among them. By tha weight and pressure of stays, bandages, heavy and tight clothes, children, who were well pro portioned at tneir birtn, nave afterwards appeared with flat breasts, high shoulders, crooked spines, and other deformities. For. when a child i3 cramped with its clothes, it naturally shrinks from the part that is hurt, and puts its body into unnat ural postures; and every part of it, even ble, deformity, of some kind or other, is the natural result. To this cause physi cians have ascribed the numerous instan ces of children dying of convulsions soon after their birth. The general rule which reason sug gests, in regard to the clothing of children, is, ' 1 hat a child have no more clothes than are necessary to keep it warm, and that they be quite easy for its body." In conformity to this rule, the dress of chil dren should be simple, clean, light, and cheap free, wide, and open, so as neith er to impede the vital functions nor the free and easy motions of the body, nor prevent the access of fresh air, and be ea sily put on or taken cff. Pins should be used as little as possible, and the clothes chiefly fastened with strings, which would prevent the occasional scratching of their tender skins, and those alarming cries which so frequently proceed from this cause. Such a light and simple dress would induce children to live with less re straint in the society of each other, and check that silly pride which leads them to ape the fashions of their superiors, and to value themselves on account ot the finery of their clothes.

The following anecdote, I sistent with truth and with sense, and 1 " I U J ... A 1 related by Herodotus, illustrates the ad vantage connected with a cool regimen of the head : " After the battle fought be tween the Persians, under Cambyses, and the Egyptians, the slain of both nations were separated ; and upon examining the heads of the Persians, their skulls were found to be so thin and tender that a small stone would immediately perforate them ; while, on the other hand, the heads of the Egyptians were so firm that they could scarce!" be fractured by the largest stones." The cause of this remarkable difference was attributed to the custom of the Egyp tians shaving their heads from earliest in fancy, and going uncovered in all states of the weather; while the Persians always kept their heads warm by wearing heavy turbans. John Bitnyan and the Bishop. John Bunyan, who, as most people know, was pastor of the Baptist church at Bedford, was much in the habit of preach ing in the surrounding villages, frequent ly walking, with a staff in his hand, many miles within a week for that purpose. In h;s itinerant excursions he was often met by the Bishop uf Peterborough riding in his carriage. The Bishop's ccael.man. who was a dissenter, and sometimes heard Bunyan preach, had made such represent ations of his wonderful talents, as excited his Lordship's curiosity ; he consequent ly ordered the manTthe next time be met Mr B.,to let him know. The coachman in a short time met Mr B. on the high road, and, as he was de sired, stopped the carriage, intimating that th it was Mr Bunyan, and to Mr B. that his Lordship wished to speak to him. The Bi&hop, irom his carriage window then addressed the iSonconforniist. Mr Bunyan, 1 understand you are very clev er interpreting difficult pasapes ol Scrip ture : what do you think is the meaning of St. Paul, when he says to Timothy ' The cloak that 1 left ut Troas with Oar pus, when thou comest bring with thee, and the books but espeically the parch ments V ''' ' Why, my Lord," said Bun yan, " the passage is simple enough. Paul was a travelling preacher : Timo thy was a primitive Bishop. In those days it was customary for Bishops to wait on travelling preachers; Paul therefore instructs Timothy to look af.er his bag gage, and to bring it with him when he comes. Times are altered since then. Now, Bisho s ride, and travelling preach ers walk1." The Bishop threw himself back in his caniage, cried "Humi ipn, 1 and ordered his cuachinan to d;ive on.

Study to be eloquent ; if you have powers of oratory, improve them. But let tbeatrical affectation be banished from the sacred place. Eloquence of the Passions. Cromwell was one day engaged in a warm argument with a lady on the subjects of oratory, in which she maintained that el oquence could only be acquired by those who made it their study in early youth, and their practice afterwards. The Lord Protector on the contrary, maintained that there was an eloquence which sprung from the heart ; since, when that was deeply interested in the attainment ot an object, it never failed to supply a fluency jl48 and richness of expression, wbich would, in the comparison, render vapid the stud ied speeches of the most celebrated ora tors It happened some "days aAer ibat this lady was thrown into a state border ing on distraction, by the arrest and im prisonment of her husband, who was con ducted to the tower as a traitor to the gov ernment. The agonized wife flew to the Lord Protector, rushed through his guards, threw herself at his feet, and with the most pathetic eloquence pleaded for the life and innoet nee of her injured husband. His highness maintained a severe brow, tilT the petitioner overpowered by the excess of hr-r feelings and the energy with which she had expressed them, paused ; then his stern countenance relaxt d into a smile, and extending to her an order for the im mediate liberation of her husband, he said " I think all who have witnessed this scene will votcvon my side of the question, m a dispute between us the other day, that the eloquence of the heart is far above that mechanically acquired by study." Her husband was relieved. Advice to Young Men. Show your love for your wife and your admiration of her, not in nonsencical compliment ; not in picking up her handkerchief, or carry- 1 1 I 1 such as to convince her of your sincerity. He who is the flatterer of his wife, only prepares her ears for the hyperbolical stuff of others The kindest appellation that her Christian name affords, is the best ycu can use, especially before faces. An everlasting " my dear ,; is but a sorry compensation for a grant of that sort of love that makes the husband cheerfully toil by day, break' his n st by night, en dure all sorts of hauUhijs it' the life or health of his w ife demand it. Let your deeds, and not your words, carry to her heart a daily and hourly confirmation of the fact, that you value her health, and life and happiness, beyond all e ther things in the world ; and let this be manifest to her, particularly at those times when life is always more or less in danger.

In the journey of life there are hours when the drooping spirit can not be sustained by the consolations of earth, when sorrow flings over the brow its darkened shadow, when eiiappointed hopes aud gloomy anticipations bid us lean not on earih; and then how sweet is the gosnel! Wearied with the per plexing eares of the week with an exhaust ed frame and -a depressed mind on the Sab bath morning i bent my footsteps to the house of God. There wa: a silence there that seemed to invite to calm meditation; but soon the voice of praise arose and holy prayer went up; and now was read the glo rious declaration. "1 know that my Redeem er liveth !" There was deep attention, and we heard of a ' living Redeemer." The preacher told ns of him v.-ho said "It is fin ished," who tasted the bitterness ef death, v. ho reposed in the dreamless slumbers of the tomb, and who, with the p ower of a CJod, burst the chains and accneled on high, leading captivity captive. l A living Re deemer!"

Does he contemplate the scenes of Gethscmur.c and Calvary, and there see the God of Glory Low and' bleed for sins he never knew ? He turns fivm this, and with a piercing glance of lakh beholds the same Jesus seated high in glory, and in spiration teaches that this Je.su?,' whom a bright clould received when at Bethany he had blessed his disciples shall come again the scconel time without sin unto salvation.
