B. FIRST IMPRESSIoN's If you want to gain any man's good opinion, take particular care how you behave the first Lime you are in company with him. The light you first appear in to one who is neither inclined to think well or ill of you, will strongly prejudice him either for or against you. A WORD TO THE WISE Don't touch the lute hen drums are re Wounding. A wise man remains silent while fools are speaking.

If Lord Elgin D recalled, it may soothe the English arty, and should a successor be ap ,inted- he ought to be an eneigetic, )nservative man. Neither side express ay desire for annexation, with our 'ederal government; the French have D wish for it, and the English no desire, it, if the British Government in this I tbreak shall take sides with the rench party, the English party will nclare in favor of annexation and all pper Canada will join. No immedi :e steps will be taken until hearing em the parent government, excepting !rsonal, quarrels breaking windows, id breaking heads; but the seeds of union have been planced and we I iall see how the tree will grow.

SPECTATOR. A WORD TO PLANTERs.--AN Intelli. cent Planter (says the Columbus Demo. :rat,)desires us to call the attention of the ~armers of the country to the fact which ec has discovered in relation lo the present ondlition of the growing corn. On exam nation of the stalks which appear trt have lfied the late severe frost and to be pt ing forth blades, luxuriantly, he foundl a lack mould or rather blight the centre nd running dowvn to the root. This he upposes to bie the flower of the plant, or ructhiving principle, from wvhich the unsel of the corn shoots. The absence f this, or' its imperfect state, will not etard the growvth of the stalk, but will lfectually prevent the same bearing "corn n the ear."' It wvilt yield a fodder but at a grain product ! It is well then for lie planter to observe this result of the ate frost and provide against a failure of anvest, by a general replanting of a corn rop.
