 A MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

 MIR. EDITOR, will you have the goodness to publish the following, in your paper, for the benefit ofall those whom it may con- cern.

 A few days ago. being belated in the after noon about doing an errand at a few miles distance, resolved to attend to it early in the morning. Iawoke and hastened from my bed,and immediately heard the clock strike. l counted four. Sure thought l., here is some mistake. It was broad day,and but 4 o'clock. could not account for t. But I sadded my horse and trotted off. It was actually as light as the evening IS after sunset. The air was cool and refreshing, and enlivening. It seemed matter of enchant- ment. I did my business. My coltish old Dobbin seemed to enter into the life of the jaunt, and arrived at my breakfast, full of health an humour. The first time saw my minister, who by the way, is a college learned man, asked him what could be the meaning of this uncommon light morning. He smiled and told me it was the ordinary course ot things; that it was just as light four hours at- ter midnight, as it was four hours before mid night. This was matter for sober consider ton. I resolved to see and prove for my self. Irose every morning punctualIy at 4, went into my field, looked about me, and found it light enough to work. The thought struck me that couple of houro' 1abour oe- fore breakfast would amount to great deal. For work never felt better. have follow ed if m ever since my fields never looked better. Never had SO fine health and spir- it's and my very conscience seems improved. Nv wife enters with her whole heart into this family revolution. My boys are ambi- tious who shall in the morning he the one to give the first call to the others, they skip to the field; and though we cannot Jty with the birds that play about, they are as lively and musical. My three girls too, though they are always afectionate and dutitul, used to be rather pale and languid; but since their early hours, their eyes arc as lovely as the dews off the morning, and their eheeks brighter than the blossoms ofthe field. Our breakfast table is adorned with clean dishes. and sweet milk, butter and cream: and the cheerful welcome which we give each other is sweeter than all the rest. The cows them selves, which go pasture an hour and a half earlier than they used to go, seem to enter iuto the family improvement, and enjoy this hour and half more than halfthe rest of the day and my wife even insists that they actu- ally give more milk than formerly but for this only have her word, and she sticks to it. One thing more I did not mean to men ton, as it is family affair but as 1t IS the best of all, will hint it for the benefit of oth- CT girls. My Sarah, the oldest daughter, was eighteen six years ago; and though, as l said, one of the best hearted Of young per sons, was thin featured, and never seemed to get along as to prospects, as-some others. But these mornings have made her appear halfa dozen years younger and SIX times as handsome; and between ourselves, my neigh bour Days son, one of the msst steady, in dustrious, manly sons which father could wish, has been coming and going, and has to- day asked me a question, which will end in something.

 Since my practise of early rising I have made another discovery. fused to see some farms in good order. fences in repair, cattle gentle and sleek, and pastures and fields safe, rich and fourishing others with fences de cayed, cattle poor and wandering. the family, at the sun an hour or two high in the morn ing, half dressed, calling out, 'the cattle in the field shooboy! sheoboy! Whose are they Plague on lem Drive 'em to pound" The discovery which is, that the former are families that rise at iOuT, LIlc IdtteE InoSo "HO sleep and snore two hours later.

 rNow what have seen & what know, know and if any body don't believe that to sleep from or o'clock to A. IS as long as from II or 12 o'clock to7; that the daylight is just about as early in the morning. as 1t IS late at night, and that the morning is cooler than the day /; then. say, let him try and see and know for himself. A FARMER. A novel spectacle presented itself in the streets of Boston, on Saturday afternoon.
