During several journeys, made within the last few years, through the western part of New York, I have been a somechat attentive observer of the course of Agriculture pursued, and with the neat and comely appearance, not only of many of the farms, hut with the comfortable villus ot the proprietors; hut in many ca res is shown. I think, a great want of taste and judgment in the selection of suitable trees for ornamenting the door yards. A few of the Eims. readily procured from the forest, would add greatly to the ap. iiearauce of the dwelling, and comfort of (he inmate; hut I think no tree is a more suitable accompaniment to the dwtllingof the unostentatious, farmer, than the 7cee)iinf zi'i'loxi:.

The soil best adapted to hb growth is a dty ioam. with a very consumable admixture of sand. This tree miirht be r lanted about dwellings, answer - ing the double purpose of an ornamental . . and profitable tunher tree, especially within a few miles of the canal, or other means of transporting it to a market. I believe some of these trees may be. seen in the western part of this state, some at JJltca; and in the counties of Chenango, livMn. lomnkins. ansi oineis.

And the timber will in many cases, with little or no pains after dinting, pay leyal interest on the cost. It would lie incredible, were I to relate the greatest sums which have been obtained from an acre; but a piece has been sold in this vicinity a few weeks since, 370 per acre r the timber, every slick of which has giown within the lasd thirly years. I have many trees growing frown the seed, which six months after planting measured fcvtti to eight arid an hall leet in height. These, after standing another year, will be of a desirable size for transplanting. A verv excellent piece, on the cultivation rf this timber, appeared in Ihe New York Farmer some week !ince, containing iulbrmalion which I should think of value o the Farmers of Veteru New York Should the. soil be found well adapted to US cultivation (as I think iu many places it will) it would gteatly improve their farms to plant at leat all the hilly and waste parts of their farms with the young trees. It is the practice with most goou f ir risers on Long l-daod , to plant the fully iiid broken j art? of their fatnis with a few

Messrs Editors. -The follow ing from my scrapbook is at your service: When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the intemperate bonds which have connected them with another, and to as sume a sober station, to which the laws of nature and ol nature's God entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind, requires that they should declare the cause w hich led to the sej.a ration. We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are created sober that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable" rights that among these life, libeity, and the pursuit of health and happiness; that whenever any habits become destructive to these euds, it is the right of the people to alter them. IVu denco indeed w ill dictate, that habits long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly mankind aie more disposed to sutler than 'to right themselves, bv altcni 2 the habits

to which they are accustomed. Iut, when a long course of indulgence to luxu rv and intoxication, evinces a design to to reduce men to absolute beastliness, it is their duty to provide new liquors for their future security.

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES. As far as possible, have hits of brea I eaien up. before they become hard. Spread those that are not eaten and let

them dry, to be pounded for puddings, cr soaked for hrexvis. Br ems is made of cruts and dry jueces of bread, soaked n good while ia hot milk; mashed up and salted, ami buttered like toast. Above all, do not lei crusts accomulate in surh quantities that they cannot be used. With proper care there is no need of losing a particle of bread, even in the hottest weather. WThen ivory handled knives turn yeN low, rub them with nice sand paper, or emery; it will take off the spots, and re store their whiteness . When a carpet is faded, 1 have beeu told that it may be restored, in a great measure, (provided there be no grease io it,) by being dipped into strong salt and water. I never tried this; but 1 knowthat silk pocket kandkerchiefs, and deet blue factory cotton will not fade, it dipped into salt and water while new. Tortoise shell and horn combs last much longer for having oil rubbed into them once in a while. Spots in lurniture may usually be clean ed by rubbing them quick and hard, with a Annuel wet with the same thing which took out the color, if rum, wet the cloth with rum, &.c. The very best restorative for defaced varnished furniture, is rottea stone pulverised, and rubbed on with lin seed oil S t 1 volatile, or hartshorn, will restoro colors taken out by acid. It may be dropped upon any garment without doing any harm Spirits of turpentine, is good to tako grease spots out of woolen cloth, to take spots out of paint, &lc. from mahogany furniture; and to cleanse white kid gloves. Cockroaches, arid all vermin, have aa aversion to spirits of turpentine. Lmps will have a less dir-agreeabla smell, if you dip your wick yarn m strong hot vinegar, and dry it.
