 A farmer should never allow his windows to be filled with red cloaks, lattered coats and old hats if he does, he will most as- suredly acquire the reputation of a man who tarries long at the whiskey, leaving his wife ana chaldren to freeze or starve at home.s

 There are three things of which the man who aims at the character of prosperous iarmer2will never be niggardIy manure, tllIage, andiseed and there are three things of which he, will never be too liberal-p mise, time and credit. Genesec Farmey.

 ta IsiE l.AsYER.---s The lawyer eni0vs ve- " ample opportunities forthe study of ha- man fnature, but his knowledge of it is apt to be rendered partial by his familiarity with crime. All his professional habits are calculated tQ render him incapable ofsim- partial reasoning and observation. being most generally enlisted wholly on one side or the other of a legal suit, He is apt to Ilbecome bound to general rules of reason ling. to n logic founded upon precedent and 'authority, and when the latter are wanting, and he is left to the simple guidance ofrea- son, he is apt to be in the situation of a near-sighted man who has lost his specta- cles. He is generally the defender of es- tabllshed customs and institutions. He has studied the beauties of every rotten fabric of the law, until, like the antiquarian he has become enamored ofits rust and decay.

 His professional habits lead him to study

 things as they are, rather than as they, ] ought to be !; and there arc so many things

 to be learned which are necessary to pro-

 tessional emiBence, or even moderate suc-

 cess, that in the pursuit of knowledge, he has no opportunity for the investigation of truth. The time which is so necessary for study must not he spent in meditation.-- The interest of the lawyer requires that he should defend rather than attack estabiish- ed insttutions. He cannot profit by the practice of the laws unless he submits 10 the arbitrary regulations of the true bar, and defends all the arbitrary customs ofthe profession. He cannot quarrel with the law and at the same derive profit from it. Hence every motive of self interest ope- rates in his mind against any desire ofre- form. Many ofathe greatest men that the world has produced, sprung from the pro- fession of the bar. yet 1t must be confessed that its effects npon ordinary minds is a {bigoted attachment to words and forms.

 Natural History.--It may be consider ed as law, that those fishes that swim near the surface of the water have high stapd- ard of respiration, low degree of musc0- lar irritability, great necessity Tor oxygen, die sOOn-almost immediately, when taken out of water, and have flesh prone to rapid decomposition. On the contrary, those fish that live near the bottom of the water, have a low standard of respiration, a, high degree of muscular irritability, and less ne- cessity for oxygen; they sustain life long after they are taken out of the water, and ,heir flesh remains good for several days. The carp, the sench, the various fiat fish, and the eel, are seen gaping and writhipg on the stalls of ihe fishmongers for hours in succession but no one sees any symp- tom of motion in the mackerel, the salmon, the trout, or the herring, unless present a. the capture. These four last named, and many others of the same habits, to be eaten in the greatest perfection, should be pre- pared for table the same day they are caught but the turbot, delicate as it is

 may be kept ill tho second day with ad- vantage, and even longer without injury and fsbmongers generally are well aware of the circumstance, that fish from deep water have the muscle more dense in struc- ture--in their language, more firm to the touch-that they are finer flavor, and will

 keep longer, than fish drawn from. shallow water. The law referred to, has its origin lin the principles of organization and tho it would be difficult for the anatomist ts demonstrate those deyiations in structure between the trou. and tench which give lise to these distinctions and their effects, it is only necessary to make the points of cOm- parison wider to be assured of the fact.-- Between n fish with true bony skeleton, the highest in organization among fishes, and the lamprey, the lowest, the differences are most obvious. live for moment con. sider the lamprey, which is the lowest 1T organization of the vsrtebraied animals with only rudimentary ver,ebral column as the supposed centre of geological struc

 ture, and look from thence up and dow, the scale eoforgaDization, we at the eAtremt on one side arrive at man, to whom division of his substance would be destruction; bu on the other, we come to polype, the diyis' ion oc which gives rise fO new animals
