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.
Sophisty is like a window-curtain; it
pleases as an ornament, but its tru use is
.to keep out the light.
'Every thing great is not always good, but
all good things are great. Except good small
potatoes.
So, so f-If a man reap "whatsoever he
aowoeth," and it seams fair that he should,
wbht a .barvest of coats and breeches the

woMAN's SMILE.
-There is a star that brightly gloams,
'Calm in the sky above,
..And throws o'er life its golden beams
Of happiness and love:
-A beacon,pure, whose radiance bright
'o lowering .cioud confines;
~But in afflictierl's stormy night
With heavenly lustre shmnes.
* There is a star, whose magic power
So firmly binds the soul,
-That e'en in joy's moat sunny hour
Man feels its sweet. control:
:A dloioits light, whose mystic spell
~Life, hope and joy imparts-.

Of earth's despairing hearts.

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.
