TIME T.lIUHr.U.

1 From the Farmer's Advocate. Fallowing It ha been a long established custom among nearly all the farmers bt Kentucky and Tennessee, and with a few exceptions, in most parts of Ohio, o far as we have been acquainted, to breakup their corn grounds in the spring, such us wheat or rye stubble grounds, &.c. This practice is very injurious to the planter as well as to the crop In the first instance it injures the planter becanse it wears out his soil fast; and in the second place, it injures the crop, because it increases the number of cut worms. If the farmer would break up his cornlands, and especially old stubble ground, in the fall and let it lie during winter, we will venture to predict, that he will reap one third more from ground managed in this way, than in the. usual mode beside it will relieve him of a great many weeds, killed by the seeds being frozen in winter, and giving place to a rich and much more abundant crop of corn, which will ripen much sooner, and be sweeter and more firm and sound. EXTRACT. TLrifty's mUxims and advice for February. "Order is Heaven's first law." The man who observes system, and method in all he does, has an infinite advantage over those who manage their business at random. The man of system keeps .every thing in its proper place, and does every thing in the proper timo and season. His house end barn are "kept up, and every thing around him has the air of neatness and good husbandry, lie observes the same order in his family, by establishing such rules and regulations as naturally lead to good and industrious habits. His wife is a pattern of neatness and good humor. She observes the sanm system withindoors, that her husband does without; keeps every thing in its place, and does every thing at its proper time. Her children are all neatly dressed, and well governed ; and order and harmony reign throughout the whole household. Let every man, therefore, establish a pr6per discipline in his family. It may be irksome at first, but any system persevered In, soon becomes habit ual and easy. 'Habit is a second nature, and man is nothing but a bundle of habits' What makes one man differ from another but his habits? we see one man take pleasure in a. very sober, o rderly and industrious life. We see another sauntering about the neighborhood, neglecting his family and business, averse to restraint and hating labor. We see one man fond of gunning another of gambling another of v?hiskey another of tobacco &c. &c. arid all from the effect of habit! In consequence ofThrtfiys advice in the last year's Almanac, he is pleased to learn that a number of farmers who had always before been in the habit of stacking their hay and fodder, and of letting their cattle, and ot letting their cattle horses and sheep, lie out all winter r.iposed to all tbc rains and slormsj have at last summoned resolution enough to build them barns, sheds and houses. They now are surprised how they came to do without them so long. ' Let not the music of the spinning wheel or the cheerful sound of the shuttle cease for the want of flat and wool. -o:::: TRULY SUBLIME. How beautiful and exalted arc the following sentiments of De Witt Clinton! and who, when he reads them, but must regret that their author, though ."fiorn for the world yet narrowed hie mind, And to party gave up what was meant for mankind." "Pleasure i3 a shadow; wealth is vanity; and power is a pageant but knowledge is extatic in enjoymem-

perennifl in fame unlimited in space,

and infinite in duration. . . In the performance of its sacred offices, it fears no danger spares no expense omits no exertion. It scales the mountain looks into the volcano dives into the ocean perforates the earth wings its flight into the skies enriches the globe explores sea and land contemplates the distant examines the minute comprehends the great ascends the sublime noplace too remote for its rasp nd heavens too exhaltcd for its reach." By Request. From the Banner of the Constitution . "We invite the reader's attention to the debate in the Senate, which took place on the 20th December, relative to the reduction of the duties on teas. The auxiety displayed by the leaders of the TarifTParty in that body, Messrs, Webster and Clay, to have this duty reduced, shows the uneasiness experi enced by them, lest the grindstone sys tem may be disturbed. An entire re moval of the duties o luxuries, whilst those upon clothing for the poor, sugar and iron, are retained, would not satisfy the demands ol justice, even though, the amount ot revenue should thereby be brought down to the wants of Governient; andwc hope that Gen. Jackson will put hi3 veto Upon any modification of the Tariff; which is not founded upon a regard for the rights of the poor, as well as of the rich. It is one of the grandest farces ever placed off u pon a-frce people, to see an attempt made to reduce the taxes on olives and capers, anchovies and brandy fruits, mace, cloves and nutmegs, precious stones, alabaster ornaments, corcordials a,nd pretumery, artificial flowers and billiard balls, battledoors and shettleqocks, coral beads and gold snuff-boxes, silver spectacles and ivoryheaded canes, velvets and lacci hiull mull muslin, and gros de Naples, camel's hairshaw.5, morocco and prunnella shoes, fine cambrica, plated chaffing dishes, porcelain and china dinner tea sets, gold watches, Cologne water, Champaigne and Burgundy wine, oranges and pine Apples, embroidery, ivory fans, fine Irish; linens, parasols, centre tables, gill books, pier looking glasses, vermicelli and macaroni Italian marble, mantle ornaments, roug-e, essences and court-plaster, cheesmen, swee, scented soap, silk stockings, gold an, silver thimble, mantle time pieces, tooth powder, wax dolls, and a hundred other things used by the rich we say, it is one of the grandest farces ever played offupon a free people, that such articles as those wc .have enumerated should be exempted from taxation, whilst iron and sugar, woolen cloth and flannel, and many other necessaries of life, which are rcqnred to render the situation of our working people comfortable, should continue to be heavily and unequally burdened. We hope the President will' not loose sight of this. 1 he Clay System men may possibly play off such a game upon-him as they did with the Maysville rofcd bill, which they said "he dare not fefuse to sign." Should they do so, we trust that they will meet the same agreeaable disappointment; and we feel the perfect assurance, that, in such event, the Congressional election in Pensylvania would, next Fall, result in the choice of men fovorable to a reduction of duties, upon principle having regard to the rights and interests of the poor, sufficient to turn the scale. Pennsylvania is for General Jackson, Tariff or Anti-Tariff, as it was for him, Internal Improvement or Anti-Internal Improvement; and, in our humble estimation, as well as in that of many Who tried all they Could in 1828 to keep him out nothing but his death can deprive him of her vote. Let the President only give as a reason for his veto, that certain rich capitalist and corporations enjoy monopolies injurious to the interests of the great body of the farmers and mechanics, of the Urited States, and such as ought not to be submitted to after the extinguishment of the public debt, and the Tariff Party rriight hatr up their fiddles, for the concert Id be wou over as sure as a gun. 'j IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. At a numerous meeting of the Dele gates of Boston from several wards of the city, and from south Boston, 6h the subject of abolishing imprisonment for Debt, a spirited address to the electors was unanimously adopted, cotain-

ing, among other matter, the following reasons why Imprisonment for Debt should be abolished: Imprisonment for debt is a fraud upon the community; because it holds out the semblance of a remedy, which in fact does not exist. Imprtsonment for debt is useless for small debts. Because the risk of loosing the cost is greater than the chance of recovering the debt. Imprisonment is useless in cases of large debts Because the debtor can well afford to spend thirty days to discharge a sum greater than he could earn in that period. Imprisonment for debt cannot defect concealed property Because a disclosure of such property is obtained by putting the debtor upon his oath, which is done after imprisonment and might a well be done be-

fire' . . - . ... It is in fact a revival of the principles of the Spanish Inquisition, and professes, br the torture cf confinement, to compel men to disclose theif proper ty and give evidence against tnemselves, whereas according to the spirit of our government, the crime of wilfully concealing property, to cheat creditors out of their honest debts, ought to be provided by legal evidence, like any other crime, and upon conviction, and then only, to be visited with condign punishment. Dr. Franklin's Parable againrt persccution. The following beautiful imitation of the historical style of the Old Testament, was witten by Dr. Franklin, and by him communicated to Lord Kaimes. And it came to pa?3 after these thtng-s, that Abraham sat in the door of his tent about the going down of the sun. And beheld a man hent witn ase coming from the wayr of the wilderness, leaning on a s'.an. And Abraham arose and met him, and said unto him, turn in, I pray thee, and wash thy feet and tarry all night, and then ihoti Shalt anse early on the morrow and go thy, way. And the man said nay, for I will abide under this tree. But Abraham pressed him greatly, so he turned and went into the tent, and Abraham baked unleavened bread, and they did eaf. And when Abraham saw that the man blessed not God, he said unto him, whydoelt thou not worship the most high God treat r of heaven and earth? And the man answered and said, I do not worship thy God, neither do 1 call upon his name; for I have made to myself a God which abideth alwiys in my house, and providethmewithall things. And Abraham's zeal was kindled against the man, nhd he arose and fell upon him, and drove him forth with blows into the wilderness. And God called unto him, saying: Abraham where is the stranger. And Abraham answered and said, Lord, he would not worship thee, neither would he call upon thy name; therefore I have driven but from before my face into the wilderness. And God said, I have born with him these hundred and ninety years, and nourished him and clothed him, notwithstanding his rebelling against me; and couldst not thou, who art thyself a sinner, bear with him orie night? -o::::::::oProposed BuRNiNd of New-York! It is not, we believe, generally known that Geni Washington seriously contemplated the distructton of this city, after the disastrous defeat of our troops on Long Island, with a view to prevent its corning the head quarters of the enemy. Such however is the fact, as appears from the following extract from one of his official letters Congress, datod Sept. 2d, 1776: "If wc should be obliged to abandon the town, ought it to stand as winter quarters for the cneriiy' They would derive great convenience from it on the one hand; and much property would be destroyed on the other. It is an important question, but will admit of but little time for deliberation. At present 1 daresay the enemy mean to preserve it if they can. If Congress therefore should resolve upon the distraction of it the resolution should be a profpund secret, as the

knowledge of it will make

change in their plans. . . . From a subsequent ltter, dated ths 8th of September 177G, it appears that Congress were unwilling to ruo the hazard of resorting to so dangerous a iexpedident fordefence. Gen, Wash' ngtbn says, "That the enemy mean to winter in New-York, there can be no doubt: that, with such an armament they can drive us out, is equally clear. The congress having Resolved that it shoald riot be destroyed nothing seems to remain, but to determine the time of their taking possesion. J0W of Com. . 1 I ;i The Life of" a Gentler o."
