FEBRUARY. Then came cold February, sitting In an old waggon, for he could not ride; Drawn of two fishes for the season fitting, Which through the flood before did softly slide And swin away...........SPENSER. The storm is sweeping through the sky, The clouds are rolling deeply by ; Light upon the hill is pale, Darkness sits upon the vale; Now the landscape's mantle white Vanishes before the sight. From his icy chains unbound, Sweeps the stream with sullen sound, As a lion on his way; But if rocks his courso delay, Rises billowy, broad, and grand, As a lion, when the band Of the hunters around him pour. Winter, 'tis thy wildest hour! All is deluged, earth and sky! Shows no star its splendid eye, Shows the moon no rosy flush, Shows the eve no golden gush ; In the east the shrinking sun Scarcely tells the day begun, And, ere half his course is o'er, Plunges to th' Atlantic shore ! Mgvicuitural. Importance of Agriculture. Agriculture has been aptly styled 'the nursing mother of all the arts.' It is the basis, the soul of our national prosperity. Commerce and manufactures conduct, in a great measure to wealth ; but the culti vation of the soil ever has been, and ever will continue to be, the fountain head of the streams of a country's resources. There can be no strength in state, and no moral health among the people, when the tillage of the land is neglected. We can date the decay of power and virtue of many nations, from the decline of their agricultural industry. In Rome, for in stance, when the wise policy of fostering agriculture was pursued, a healthful spirit pervaded the whole state. Then the laws were impartially administered, and justice done to all. Then labor was accounted honorable, and statesmen and generals, and philosophers cultivated their farms with their own hands. It was then that from among the tillers of the soil arose a Regulus, a Cincinnatus, and an invinci ble soldiery. It was then that the 'seven hilled city' breathed defiance to her ene mies, and caused nation after nation to yield to the resistless power of her legions, until the Roman eagle waved over the known world. But when the largesses of corn were bestowed upon an idle popu lace when agriculture was neglected, and war laid waste the fertile fields of Italy, then Roman virtue and Roman vigor fled. Soon intrigue, vice and venality took firm hold in the state, until finally the 'pale mother of empires' was abandoned to hei enemies, and the palaces of the Cosar. echoed the tread of the victorious barba. rin. History abounds in examples illus trative of the important fact, that the en. during greatness of a nation is mainly founded upon its agriculture, and ruleri will do. well to increase the prosperity oi those whov~ing the scythe and hold the 'Thabe~irttry wvhich does not posses! within itself the means of affording sub sistance to its own inhabitants, is, if we may trust the voice of experience, destin ed to sink to earlyruin. National power based upon commerce alone, unsupportet by a flourishing industry, that ministers tc human wants and gratifications, must fal to the ground. Merely commercial states dependent upon contingencies for theii very life-blood, and imbued wvith that spiri of speculation which tends to enervate the body and corrupt the mind, contain with in their own bosoms the seeds of dissolu' tion. Phonicia, Carthage, Genoa, Veniec and Holland, of the 16th and 17th centu. ries, all bear witness to this fact. There im much truth in these verses of Goldsmith: " Trade's proud empire haste to swift decay, As ocean sweeps the labored mole away ; While self-dependent power can time defy, As rocks resist the billows and thme sky." To her unsurpassed agriculture, Eng. * land is most indebted for her support in the midst of those tremendous pressures which so often have threatened to crush her. It is the unparalled cultivation of her soil that has enabled the British peo ple, placed upon the rock-bound island, to excel the world in every article of fa bric; to maintain an unrivalled navy and plant their power in every quarter of the globe. Firm are the foundations of the strength of that nation, which in time of peace is nourished from the resources of its own industry, and in war can rely up. on the strong arms and undaunted hearts of its yeomanry, to sustain its rights in * the din of strife or in the roar of battle! Upon agriculture, in addition to the necessaries and common comforts of life, depends the success of every other em ployment. It is agriculture that builds up our crowded cities, covers our fields with yellow grain, and diffuses life and vigor throughout the land. It is agricul ture that supports our gigantic manufacto ries, ringing from the basement to the attic with the music of free labor, and causes our ten thousand ships to dance upon every rolling billow, and spread their sails to every propitious gale.-Says Lord Ers .kine, ini his political romance, called Ar mnata: " You might as well hope to see the human body in active motion whlen palsy had reached the heart, or a tree flourishing after its roots were decayed, . s expect to see manufactures, or arts, or industry of any description, progressive, wihen agriculture has declined." Para. lyze it, and you weaken the pulse of en terprize, stiffen the fingers of machinery, and clip the wings of commerce. De stroy it and you bury in one common grave, national power and individual pros perity.-Martin's Address, Yale College. IMPolrAr~ TO L ADIES.-The following is recommended as a sure way of render * ing the coloros in calicoes permanent, and prevent their fading by subsequent washing; infuse three gills of salt in four quarts of boiling water, and put the cali Errors in Composing Farm Manurs. The farmer's manure heap is usually the receptacle for every substance that has served its original purpose; but it is a mis taken idea that everything thrown in there will serve a useful purpose. We may, however, just say here, that this error has considerably influenced farm practice. Belief in the alchymy, rather than the chemistry of the farm-yard, has led some persons to cart soil inito the manure yard, and to carry it back again with the dung to the very field from which it was taken; adding, materially to the bulk and expense of the manuring. They presumed that they added to its value, but the effect of the earth upon the farm-yard manure would be merely to retard decomposition, and thus might be a loss or a gain, accor ding to the circumstances of the soil and the crop. Animal substances, offal, and fish of every description are also very unprofita bly applied to farm-yard manure. The natural tendency of animal substances to enter into putrefactive fermentation is well known to be greater than that of vegeta ble substances. By placing them in the manure heap, we, in a further degree, fa cilitate the quality in which they natural ly excel, and the tendency of which is to rob them of their most valuable element nitrogen. Judicious practice should avoid this error, by adopting, if possible, a sys tem having an opposite effect. Lime is one of the substances which it is also an error to use with composts in which we have farm-yard manure. It is equally an error to mix lime with any compound rich in ammonia. The tenden cy of lime, in all composts, is to promote decomposition and to waste nitrogen, which escapes, by union with hydrogen under the form of ammonia, which is the very treasure of the dung heap, and of most other manuring substances.-Ma tron's Prac. Agriculture. Employment in the rlower-Garden. WORK FOR FEBRUARY. In this month the Flower-garden may be said to be created. Where the garden is of old standing, a new face of richness, beauty, and variety may be given to it, by taste in the selection of those flowers which can bear the season. But the im provements which have beeni made in florticulture within these few years, and which are continually proceeding, would almost justify a total change in the system both of selecting the plants and of laying out the parterre. Perhaps the true principle of laying out the garden is that of the picturesque. Na ture, to be seen in its beauty, should be seen with a painter's eye. The phenome na of clouds, sunshine, and showers even the bursts of morning light upon the sides and summits of mountains, and the splendours of the summer-evening sky are to the peasant as valueless as they are common. It would be idle to describe the new and deeper beauty in which they are clothed t~o the eye accustomed to study the lovely and the sublime of Nature; the delight to be felt in the innumerable changes of light and colors over the land scape; the sudden ch."rm that may be Ifoumd even in the shape of a distant rock, a solitary and withered tree, a fragment of a ruined place of strength, or a glanc ing mountain stream. A thousand fea tures, in themselves indifferent or repul sive, are suddenly invested with beauty by the power of the picturesque; and even the wildest and most fearful objects of nature-the cataract, the ocean in storm, the inundation, the thunder-cloud, and the volcano-become lovely, splendid, and teeming with glorious imaginations, before the painter's eye. The application of this principle may be made through even the humbler efforts of man. The chief beauty of the flowecr garden must be to the eye. The happy arrangement of tints, the position of the predominant plants in spots where they |will rein forcethe feebler hues, and relieve thme monotony of the less peculiar forms, the advantage taken of a shade that keeps down the mnore glaring colors, or of an exposure that lights up the fainter into vividness and brilliancy by sunshine; the variety of effect to be found in the slopes and hollows of the soil, are all dependent upon cultivated taste, and are all capable of giving an occupation worthy of the most accomplished mind. This month is an active one. Prepar ations is made for a large portion of time summer. Annuals of all kinds should be sown, with the distinction of reserving the more tender species for the latter part of the month. Perennials and Biennials should be parted and planted before they begin to shoot-for a vigorous bloom. NEW MODE OF RAISING WHIEAT-Anl experiment has been tried in Iowa, and recorded in the Prairie Farmer, by J. A. Rosseau, where two bushels of wheat and one of oats were mixed and sowvn togeth er in the fall on one acre. The oats shot up rapidly, and were of course cut down by thme frost. They, however, furnished a warm covering for the earth, and when the snow fell among the thick stalks and leaves, they kept it from blowing away. This covering prevented the wvinter-kilinmg of the wheat, and the oats yielded a rich dressing for the crop the following spring. The result was an abundant crop, while land precisely similar alongside of it, and treated in the same manner, with the ex ception of omitting the oats, was utterly worthless. A HrlT-A western editor, in comment ing upon a paragraph that has been going the round, " that the cars on the Little Miami had brought down 218 yankee girls, from 20 to 12 years of age," wvon ders whether they could bring down old maids of 40 to 20 years. YouTr, especially female youth, gives a poetic tinge-a softened colouring to its sorrows ; thus the sea, when the morn inmg shines upon it, is covered, even in the storm, with rainbows. WonderfWl Escape. A good story is told by an English pa per of an old lady who had received a letter from her son, a sailor on board a merchantman, which ran thus: "Have been driven into the Bay of Funday by a pampoosa right in the teeth. It blowed great guns, and we carried away the bowsprit, a heavy sea washed overboard the bminacle and companion; the captain lost his quadrant, and couldn't take an observation for fifteen days; at last we arrived safe at Halifax." The old woman, who could not read herself, got a neighbor to repeat it to her three or four times, until she had got it by heart; she then sallied out to tell the story. "0, my poor son "Why, what's the matter, mother-I hope no mischief?" "0, thank God, he's safe-but he has been driven in the Bay of Firmament by a bamboozle right in the teeth-it blowed great guns, and they carried away the pulpit-alheavy sea washed overboard the pinnacle of the tabernacle-the captain lost his conjuration, and could not get any salvation for fifteen days-at last they arrived safe at IHallelujah." " La, bless me, what a wonder they wasn't beat to atoms. Well, I would'nt be a sailor. WHISTLE YoUR oBsTER BAcK-A man had received a large lot of lobsters, fresh and lively, when a boy stood looking at the critters, accompanied by his dog. " Suppose you put your dog's tail between this here lobster's claw?" said the man. "Agreed," said the boy. The peg was extracted from the claw, and the dog's tail inserted. Away went the dog off home, howling at the squeeze his tail got from the lobster. " Whistle your dog back, you young scamp," said the man. " Whistle your lobster back," cried the boy and absquat ulated. The boy made a lobster supper that night. A DROLL DEFINITION OF A YANKEE. -As the Yankees are creating no little excitement in the commercial, political and military world, we hope our definition of a genuine male yankce may not be considered a miss. A real genuine Yankee is full of ani mation, cheeked by moderation, guided by determination, and supported by edu cation. He has veneration corrected by tolera tion, with a love of self-approbation and emulation; and when reduced to a state of aggravation, can assume the most profound dissimulation for the purpose of retaliation, always combined, if possible, with speculation. A real live Yankee, just caught, will be found not deficient in the following qualities: lHe is a lover of piety, propriety, and the temperance society. He is a dragging, gagging, striving, thriving, swopping, jostling, bustling, mu sical, quizzical, astronnomicol, poetical, philosophical, and comical sort of charac ter, whose manifest destiny is to spread civilization to the remotest corner of the earth, with an eye always on the look out for the main chance. SHAR SnooTING.-Col. Peebles, says the the Bangor Mercury, tell us of an instance of sharp shooting. He states that one of the "rank and file" under his command once dis charged six shots at a barrel rolling dowvn a long hill, lie being at the bottom of the hill. Upon the barrel reaching the bottom of the hill it was examined, and no mark of a bullet was discovered upon it; whereupon his com rades began to ridicule him. He, however, very coolly desired them to shake the barrel, by doing which they found that the bullets were inside--the whole having entered the hung hole, at which point he had aimed. This is the toughest shooting story we have seen. A YANKEE EDITOR remarked in a po lemical article, that though he would not call his opponent a liar, he must say, that if the gentleman had intended to state what was utterly false, he had been re markably successful in his attempt. WHEN a Kentucky judge, some years since, wvas asked by an attorney, upon somo strange ruling, 4"Is that lawv, yer honori" he replied, "if the court under stand herself, and she think she do, it are !" A MaN, who was rescued from drown ing, a few nights since, in Boston, abused the man who rescued him because ho did not save his hat ! "PA," said a little fellowv the other day, " wasn't Job and an editorI" " Why Sammy ? " Because the Bible says he had much trouble, and wvas a man of sorrow all the days of his life." THERE is a dentist in Russia, who gets his patients to pronounce his name, which instantaneously draws out the tooth that afflicts them, carrying along with it two or others three. " MA, somebody's going to die ?" said a knowving little fellow who w~as looking out of a window into the street. " Why," asked the anxious mother. "Cause the doctor's just gone by," was the reply. A soN of Eri, while hunting for rab bits, came across a jackass in the woods, and shot him. "By my sowl and St. Path rick," ho exclaimed, " I've kilt the father of all rabbits !" AN inebriate Irishman, on being kindly questioned, in a very narrow lane across which be was reeling, as to the length of the road ho had traveled, he replied " Faith it's not so much the length of it as the breath of it that's tired me." " WuAT are you writing such a big hand for, Pat ?" " Why, you see, my grandmother's afe, .aI' writing.an lonud letter to her." G. W.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements,will compare favorably with the most distinguished In oureonn try. The medical faculty constitutes an In this or any other country-all of them'ame lecturers and the best of teachers. Those who will contemplate our gcograplua. position, and the extent of our populati, can have no doubt as to the eligibilityof our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, inclu ding all sasons of the year, we deny that ady other city has more. A common error exists in the minds of nany students relative to the place of studyingmedicmne; those who intend practicing among the diseases o the West and South shouldcertainlyeducate them selves at a school whose Faculty are practically acquainted with those diseases. That the public may be satisfied of the perma. nency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trustees and Faculty forma unit4nacton, which augurs well for its future success and that 3 the peculiar internal organiation which connects - them, cannot be interrupted.
