' A jTJJtcieus rota ion of crops is the ground-work of general improvement. If a judici jus system ho adopted and persevered in, it can. not fiih No modes of tillage or managemen: can make up for a defective rotation. Tne same crops, which under one system would be unprofi able and injurious to the i uid, under another rotation, with ir.terven:iny ameliorating crops, might not only he profitable, but might promote i:s ferhity.'* Selecting an J pr??pngi:ir.g the best heads and cars of the most approved km Is of grain and soc is, is the surest method of preserving them in perfection. Soed should be selected m the same manner that breeders are selected. Farm- rs, to ini prove their stock, pick out tVe fairest of the particular breed or variety they want to improve, and prosecute the improvement with these selected individuals. In the garden, and in every field of grain, select sue!) individual plants as exo-l it vigor and productiveness and ripen earliest, under a moral certain y that such plants arc pcculia:!v ad ?ptcd to such a sod and climate. Some of ttie most distinguished fat mors of our country have acted upon tin's principle and v\i h great success. , Hy observing this princ pie, sc ds and griinnre prevented from degenerating. are made to ripen earlier and to increase their prolific powers. Liberality is the economy of agriculture. Liberality in procuring good tools or im? ^lenrrcuts f?r tli? hands on a farm is tec ec. otnmy of agriculture. Good tools are csscntial to a farmer as to the carpenter or any other mechanic ; an J a!i know t'na complete work cannot be expected from !lie latter, in any branch <?. profession of their trade, without ihc requ'si.c tools. Experience lias long taught me that a greater loss results to the fanner from defective implements, than almost from any other cause whatever; the difference, betwet n a good and a bad implement, par icu'arlv in p'ouglis, is so great as to constitute an enormous saving on a large farm by tlic former; a good plough will save half the labor of a bad one, with the additional advantages of working with more e sse to the team, and of doing the work itself better, thereby rendering the custymarv repetitions not only uniKtTssary, hut pernicious. Foresight is another d-'m it. the economy of agriculture, h consists in preparing work for nil weather, and doing all work Via propri weather, :.ku at proper times. Bui in violation of this rule, nothing is more common ilian a pcrsistance in ploughing, making liny cutting whoa', and o her works whwi a small delay might have escaped v great loss; and dm labor employe J Jo des. iroy, would have been employed to save, Crops of all kinds are frequency plan ed 01 sown nt improper periods, or unseasonably in relation to the weather, from the want o an arrangement of the work on n farm, cul. cu!u*?d for doing every species of it precise, ly at the periods, and in the seasons, mos likely to enhance its profit. A third item in the economy of agricul. lure, is not to kill time by doing the sant( thing tu ice over. Wncn a th.ng is done : let i: be weil done, and it wili 'not require tc be done soon again ; this will invariably bf found !o be the best economy with respect tc ail the work executed on the farm. In closing this article, I cannot do bo'tei titan adopt the language of nn em ncn Agiicuiturasiisfs* ''Liberality constitute! the economy of ogr culture, and perhaps i is the ttolitcry human occupation, to whiel '.he adage," the more we give, the more wi shall receive,'can be justly applied. Lib crali.y to the earth in ruanuringandcuhure is the fountain of its bounty to us. Liber nliiy to slaves and working animals, is the thuntuin ofihojr nrofit. Liberality to do rTicstij 1-rules, is the fountain of their manure. i he good work of a strong team cause* n profit beyond the had work of i week on*', after deducting the additional ex pense of feeding it . and it saves tnorcvei iialf the-labor of a driver, sunk in followiu* a bad one.

The j ! straight buck aNo denotes nn aptitude to! | fat'cn kindly. Much depends upon the! ! room the lungs have; no animal can be good ; i whose lungs occupy a small space; and the | | lungs occupy all the space within the ribs, | so it is of great importance that the space J inside of them should be large?for this re.i- , ! son the ribs sliouKl be spread wide, and ex- I ; tend well back towards the bins. The | fuii heavy flank to the cow is a most certain j indication of a good Ridker, and the bull j thus formed generally pro luces cows that milk well.

Clean logs and small tail show line i bones. Short joints in the legs is also an excellent mark of an animal fattening easi, Iv, lor every ai irr.a! requires foo 1 to fatten ' it in proportion to the length of the leg.

In the short history that J shall give of my few and evil days, I sh ill conceal nothing, that can be of advantage to my fallow men. [ run now about twen y..four years of ng'v, was horn in the State of P?, of worthy ano respectable parents, who raised me morally, and I may say, religiously. Although < the}* cojIJ not make me religious by education; yet they gave me a relig:ous cduea- j tion. As my father was only in moderate j circumstances, he cotilJ do ht.de else for his [ children, than to educate them. Wncn 1 j was in mv sixteenth war, having taken a ' coarse in I ho neighboring Academy, 1 was; soiit to the A? Collect*; wh?v<; I took a ro. ! guhr course, and graduated, as it is called; 1 When 1 had just entered my twenty-fif li j year, I left College wi h ?;n innocent heart! and buoyant spirits. After spending a few; weeks at my fathers', shaking the hands of ! my assoeia'cs in boyhood, and mingling in ; die circle around the paternal hearth, with1 those sweet ssters and brothers, among! whom I pillowed my head in ch'l Ihood, i; | was thought best, that I should enter iiro i some kind of business, by which I could j make a suppor'. As there was no opening ; in the neighborhood of my fathers'; and the ; public mind being turned to the south, as 1 the country, presenting the greatest opening ! for the young aspirant to wealth and honor, i f determined to bend mycourso south-wes\ j My kind old father made an extra effort to I furnish mo with something like a decent 1 ou fit. Dressed in the style of a common j traveller, with about two hundred dollars in my pocket, I tore myself awa v from every j face and name, ihat I had ever known, to i make mv fortune in a new country. 1 na< morn tug?tiiu IUJ/U.IU?ivucn i i said, I am now ready to set out, I shall ne'er i forgot. My trunk v-as packed and locked; I my mother was in tears, awl brothers and j sisters silent; my father alone seemed able ' to lcc:n ijp a conversation; and his words, | to the last, were words of council and ad., I vice. I gave iho parting hand, hut could not utter one word; 1 suppress ;d the tear at the moment of parting, that the effect might be less on the part of those I was leaving behind me. 1 took my seat in the stage. 7h'ic driver blew his i??>rn a blast or two on I whirled array. ' When, from the stage, as we bounded forward, I caugbt the last g impsc of iny native cottage, and-the clumps of trees, that grew about j-, I could not refuse a tear;?but soon 1 found myself rolling down the streets of the town of W?. I tarried but a short time, having not yet 'settled in my mind, to what point I would direct my cours?. II'Te 1 took one ol those sfeamcrs tvliic!) play upon the beau'iful Ohio; on board of which, i found two young gentlemen who had set otr, with views similar to my own; and as they ha I decided to vis t tire ci'y of N. Iv, in the State of T. E., ! concluded to accompany ihctn. Alter ten or twelve days, wc landed at the port of our destination. II tving looked around for a itarc f !it>ramc much r>ieased with the .... ? _ t ! place, and determined to remain; but c!i J not sock business immediately. This was | my first error. Inconsequence of having ; hut little means, and finding so many ways ! to spend what I had, I concluded aficr some weeks, to go into a clrvg.ood house as a ; clerk. Inexperienced as I was, in this particular branch of business, my salary would barely fee J and clothe me. The gentle. | man with whom 1 first set in, discontinued ; bussness in a few months, and I was again i without employment. I, however, s on i succeeded, in getting into another house of | the same kind, on a little better terms, flu! i still, I was notable, with mv short allowance, i to lay up any tiling; and my funds, with ; which I set out, were ail expended. I had ; not been long in this house, before I con. j tractcd a fondness for the doughtcr of a very : worthy gentleman, who was on terms of , intimacy with my employer. Here I would say, t!iat, at this 'ime, I doubt not, but I had ! the entire confidence of every person about i the establishment, for I had been ntten'ive ; to mv duty and true to my trust. Every > day seamed to increase my attachment for Miss M?. ?S!ic was in my estimation,jusi about such a being, could I possess her, as i would make me happy. J determined at j l ist to adJress her. Now n was, that my 'i (ears came upon me. She had property; ( j had none. .She was surrounded by a circle i of wealthy friends and relations, of whom | she was the idol; an i I a s'rapger, and no'liI ing but a store boy as they are calied. My j second error, was, to impress Miss M ? , with a belief, that J possessed some money; which I suppose, would aid in; in gaining { her heart and hand. Having impressed | her with the belief, that I was worth some, thing considerable, I thought i: necessary, ! that I should, at least, be able to exhibit a i hill or two; and payoff any little account i that might occur in our wa'ks. This i? ; the poin\ at which my ruin, ullcr ruin began I had access to the drawer of my cm! ploycr, being his principal salesman. 1 | never had, in my life, taken any thing thai was not mv own; and > though: of steal' I ...nn 1-rti-nlhnrr If! inn I,lit I Thnilrrllt- ?>!().

Ft wis not long, nivil I Ii-icJ muJeout : he fit'y dollars. 1 ff*rc I had a severe s ruuglu with myself; but it wou! I seem, that my guardian angel hail left mo; for soon I got my consent to continue to take, nn'iM had made out one i hundr 'd; for the fear of detection had men- ( surabiy worn away, which made mc lay the j i i drawer of my employer under more fro- < j qucnt contributions. I still promised my- 1 1 soif, that I would replace this money. But , as the amount increased, the time of rcplac- I i ing it, became more and more distant. Af- j ( tcr the hundred was filled up; I had another ; i conflicf with myself, hut concluded to lake 1 1 two hundred, and abandoned for ever, the | i j idea of replacing it. Here let me siv, I j t , murdered the last remains of conscience, t ' and bid adieu t > honesty; lor in truth, my j I purpose was t j get just as much as I could, j v Detection w s all that I feared; and the fear, i c even c?f detection, had measurably passed : 't j away. During the whole of this time, I j s I was in the habit of visiting Miss M?, and j a i soon was led 10 believe, that inv society was . s ' J * | not unpleasant to her. My suit was con- j c tinued, until wo were pledged to each o'lr I d cr; arid the nup'ial day was appointed. 1 u determined, so soon as we should be mar.. ti ried, that I would leave t:?o house where I v was doing busm *ss, and turn my at ention ; L to some other employment. As my stay \ c in the store, grew short, ! drew more and j more heavily on the drawer; but as there { was yet some fear of b.ing discovered, I / could not gather as fast as I wished. Jn ! _ order to make the best I could of my lime, [ began to take goods; and from time to time, when opportunity would offer, put away into my trunk such articles as I tiio't ^ would be serviceable to myself, or pieasing 0 to my intended. The time of our union c drew near, lut a few days only, wh?n the j t suspicions, under which my employer had : 1. been laboring for some time, became so C strong, that lie determined to know the ?; worst. My eagerness to obtain funds, had t led me to take so largely, that i-. was evident, t something was wrong. My kind employ. { er informed me, t .at h. cloud was hanging over me, which would have to be dissipated, before I eou'd ever marry that girl; calling a Miss M? by name. Tii'-sc words of my v employer, drove to my heart like a thunder- j boh. I felt, that i>-. the midst of my exultv j tntion I was stricken. I saw all my anticu j pntcd bliss wither in an instan*;?thougli I j affected surprise, tli it any such thing should be thought of! But I had been seen in the possession of more mon^y, than it was ! thought, I could have come by honesty; and tvas required to account for the way in which I obtained it. 1 tried lying; but my ' ' story wa9not well matured, and my state- ' ! ments were at varience with each other; for | j a guilty man cannot reason well, and an j j innocent one will not lie; and falsehood, j j generally carries its own refutation with it. j At l-ng-.h Air. \V. to! J rnc plainly, that I j had been stealing from Inm; of which In* was j I satisfi'd, and that, my trunk would tell the i | truth! I saw at once, concealment was J i impossible. Then it was, that the sen- ! ! trnce : you are a thi? P! came home to my j i heart. My first thought, was of my M.; j | and I entreated with my injured employer, j j to let my guilt sleep forever, that she might j ; he mine. But he was too honest to con ' ccal my guilt; and the object of my nlfec- j lions, too pure, too lovely, to be the w.fe oi ! a rogue. lie that had hither o, been my j friend,and ircited mens a brother, now ; bade me leave Iris house. The young h. 1 ; dy was advised of iny guilt forthwith; lest ] i i oi....it,I Imrt-v I,or iieo a marriage before : ii OUUUIVJ MUI I v I'VI ? ___ -II she should be apprised of my disgrace.? i ' Guilty as ( was, I ventured to sec her one ( i ! tnnro. before I should set out, for, I knew no { ' where.

She heard me I through, and hade me go, where I never j 1 would he heard ol again by any person who i < ; had ever known me; and while others ' | ... j blame and curse me, it is possible, she : blames and piiies. Oti! I would remcmj her her still, were it not, that the name of ; one so pure, should never find way to the heart of one so corrupt us mine, i hide j her farewell; fled from her presence, wiih ! feelings of unmixed dspair, and bounded j abng the s'rects like a wild beast. The | night was dark; which, well suited my feel. ' ings and guilty condition.

Or if all hose are too much to begin with. let premt- j ims be ofTered, nt first, onlv on silk raised and i i I eeled in the slate. Let the time for which ' iuch premiums shall be paid, ba l.mited, tf it j >c deemed best, lo five or six year?, as a ; < limulus lo make men enter upon the business : < juickly. Several of the Northern states pay ; )remiums equal to ?2 on the pound of reeled ;, .ilk; and we have never yet seen a sentence i)f complaint from any quarter at this cxpendi-1 ure of the public money in these states. The ' o.n Irnn U'hnrPt'OP thp ' luvaiuagwu.n ?.wv?w ..., experiment has been made. Every person of the least intelligence and i cfiecfion knows that Carolina cannot com- i )ete with the Sju'Ii West and Texas in the I raising of cotton. Every year that the attempt I smade drives ofTa largo portion of her wealth | I and her most enterprizing and useful citizens, j i md hurries her or. to poverty and penury.? j. Cotton must one day bo given up for silk, ! grazing and manufactures; and the sooner: Ihe change can bccfloctcd the better f >r the ; state and for those who intend to stick by it. ! But there is perhaps no class of people among ' whem it is so difficult to introduce a change of; occupation as the agricultural. Leg'slative j premiums are doing it in other states and would j do it in this if resorted to. We learn from a Western paper that Judge < White of Tennessee ha6 tendered his resig- I nation as U. S. Senator, to the Governor of that state. The reason assigned is debility! from an attack of fever last fail, which renders ' it unsafe for him to take a journey to Washington, as early as the commencement of the session of Congress. The Governor it is stated, has requested him to reconsider the subject, and delay his resignation with a hope that his strength and health may soon be so far restored as to enable him still to represent the state himself in the senate. -j Miller's Planters' and Merchants' Almanac for 1839.?This excellent almanac is out, and contains its usual variety of useful matter. Sound Party Logic.?The New York Evening Post stoutly maintains that becaase Mr. Swartout paid over tfie moneys received by him as collector, into the United States Dank, before the removal of the depositee i - -1 e | from that bank by President Jackson; inererore the subsequent defalcation of the Collector, when he was keeping the moneys collected iu his own iron chest, is chargeable on the !

The Pcc Dee country lias claims upon the State Legislature which wj trust will not be iliogether overlooked at the present session.? iVc have always cheerfully paid our share of he large amount of moneys which have been yxpended for the benefit of other parts of the state, whilst very little has been done for our;elves in return. Last winter while appropriaions on the most liberal scale were made for dher sections of the state, the petty sum of ?10,000 was allowed to the whole Pee Dee ountry. We do not know that there is dispoition to ask much this winter. Therefore the mall favor that is asked ought to be, and we rust', will be, readily granted; especially as it *n be done without expense or inconveniance o the state. Application will be made (or 2 harter fur a continuation of the Raleigh and iJoH'.rabia Railroad, from the state line to Coumbia, and as we do not know that any mo ley will be asked, the very least that the Legislature can do for us, without the most pal>abte injustice, is to grant such a charter as vill be an inducement for private capitalists to. nake an investment of their funds in the en* erprize. There is at present, we believe, very ittle disposition in this part of the 6tate to :omp!ain; but if any thing like equal justice continues to be denied us, this cannot always ae the case. It does not yet help a candidate for office n Mew York to be supported by the abolitionsts. They ha ve for the last year or two adop* ed the practice of catechising all candidates is to their creed upon the question of abolition. The candidates for Governor and Lientenan Sovernor, at the late election in New York returned unsatisfactory answers o their ^ueriee, except Mr. Bradisb> he Whig candidate for Lieutenant Governor ; ,vho satisfied them.

It is ascertained that the Whigs have eleced 21 members ofCongressin New York; the Administration party 19. The Administration aarty still have a majority in the Senate, but are in the minority on joint ballot. Some of the New York papers affirm that Mr. Swartout, the late collector of that port. is not at all a defaulter, and that he has in liis hands no more of the money of the United States than he has retained as in dispute between hi in and the Government. He and the executive officers at Washington, itseetns,put a different construction upon some clause of the revenue laws, which gives rise to a difference as to the amount now duo by him. The Administration papers admit the defalcation. Judge Bay died in Charleston on the n;ght of the 10th inst. in the 85th year of his age.?
