“ Keep the watch wound or the dark
rnst aasaileth !” This is nature’s law,
and daily she gives exemplifications of
it. ’Tis exertion and motion which pre¬
serve the physical man ; which expands
his chest, heightens his color, and gives
health and its attending blessings.
Collect • small quantity of snow and
place it upon the ground, and instead ol
growing ill aise, it will diminish and in¬
termingle with the flaky carpet around
it; but roll it back and forwards, its ac¬
cumulation and increase is wonderful,
and it then resists the warmth of the at¬
mosphere, retuainiug united atid hard.
The watercourse which ceases to How,
stagnates, and putrifies ; but its flowing
keeps it limpid and sweet. Expose met¬
als to the air anJ they oxidize soon ; but
keep them in use and they are bright
and polished. Remove Irom land the
plough and hoe; tak • away labor, and
brambles, briars and thistles will usurp
the place of the cereal*. Let a man re¬
frain from all study, und retrogradatiou
in mind takes place immediately ; but
if the smallest degree of application is
given to learning, an improvement will
gradually take place, and in the end
much good will result.
That labor which is of advantage, and
which makes great obstac es us spider
webs, easily removed, is the combined
action of mind and muscle. A contin¬
ual striving, an untiring ener y and as¬
siduous application will eventually con¬
quer every opposition. It will fill the
graineriesof the farmer. It will accti
mulste and lay up money for every one.
It will fill the storehoose df the head
with facts and knowledge and produce
a mental harvest which will furnish uu
tri * ent and sustenance for self and hun¬
dreds of others. All things work ! The
smallest insect, the whistling wind, the
mighty spheres and revolving worlds,
and these I .bor for God’s glory ! while
man strives for worldly fame, for wealth,
and for everything but that which plea¬
ses his Maker.

one person renders a certain food pain
table and nutritive; but because it is
pleaaant to the taste of one, it is no ar¬

Il is a gross error for parents to force
and so tyranixe over their children as
to compel them to eat a certain dish for
which the child has no relish, nay, has
an absolute repugnance. “ i he mere
refusal to take fat eggs, or puddings,
does not show merely a caprice,” nor is
it entirely the early training which pro¬
duces the wl.im, but if it is an idle no¬
tion, this prejudice should be respected
to a certain extent, for it is doubtless
the outs eaking of the temporary state
of the internal organs and should not be
disregarded.
Such difference of taste is due not to
raising and education ; but it is nature’s
work, giving a fitness for certain food
to one, and an inuptitude of the same,
wholesome diet to another.
Physiology teaches explicitly that
each individual organism is different in
some point from all others, ami this dif¬
ference is astonishing in some instances.

The wise man informs us that “ there
is u time for all things.” Who doubts
his wisdom f We suppose that there
are t* ose even in our day, who are not,
sure that Solomon was wise. And we
doubt not that there are »omc among us
who doubt the propriety of doing any
thing outside of their peculiar interests,
us they understand those Interests—per
liaps they belong to the •* penny wise
and poUmi foolish” class—perhaps they
have not thought much on the advant
ages of association, and are therefore ex
cusuble for any indifference they may
feel in regard to an organization of an
Agricultural Ciub in our dear old coun
ty, at this most opportune time, in our
humble opinion, for so doing. Oh!
“ but money is scarce and w’e have none
to spare for such a purpose.” Grunt it!
but uot more scarce than usuul—we are
only a little jrivchcd just now—it won’t
last long; cotton is rising, corn is fall
ing, bacon is cheapening, mules are
lower now than they have been, and
flour brings less than it has lor years;
clothing is cheap, shoes are not dear;—
what’s the matter ? Money scarce ! how
so? What Inis become of it F Let ev
ery man answer the question for him¬
self, us every sensible man can do.
But we only ask for ihree thousand
dollars us an outfit in the wuy ofperma
nent improvements to enable us to have
our usual Fairs oil u scale worthy of our
reputation. We don’t ask you, reader,
to give us any part of that sum—loan it
to us, to yourselves and your children
to be invested in real estate, for your
and their advantage—for your and their
enjoyment. Take stock,—one, two,
three, five or ten shares; they are only
twenty five dollars a share—don’t hang
back und wait to be asked for it—look
up a committeeman and make him take
your name and the number of shares you
are willing to subscribe, for we fear I e
will not look you up. In this way, make
yourself a live member, not u mere well
wisher, und its establishment is a fixed
fact. Farmers, Merchants, Mechanics,
Ladies, (God bless you) wake up ; wake
each other up, subscribe and we’ll or¬
ganize at once and give you a Fair next
tall that will delight your hearts and re¬
plenish your purses all annually ; oriethat
will bring you together every year
in quaintiince a soeia gathering; extend your ;.c
and cement your friendships
—objects greatly to be desired by every
good community. Why, we are living
in comparative obscurity ! we are “ bu¬
rying ourselves alive;” hiding “our
lights under bushels;” we are getting

VVe want our stock all taken without
delay. Our object is, to use the money
to promote tho best int« rest of all our
people, and to return lo you, stockhold¬
ers, each year, a lair interest for the use
of it. “ Two heads are better than
one,” and one hundred are better than
two. We in end to stimulate industry,
encourage enterprise, reward ingenuity,
cultivate the social feeling, impart use¬
ful knowledge to our young men of ev¬
ery vocation, and let them know, as far
us we can, iiow to be happy and respect¬
able, and where to find good wives.—
“ And last, though not least,” we prom
ise our fair daughters (“and the vidders
too”) that they shall have all the bene¬
fits and advantages of our association,
added to their churms, and better hus¬
bands Irom among us than can be lound
outside of our oiganization. Such an
iustitutijn ought to succeed, and will
succeed, if we but half do our duty, and
do it promptly, without waiting for anij
body to take the lead or to subscribe

T« if beat, considering the unsettled
state of affa rs, to marry or not to mar
r y. The Scriptures tell us to marry,
and give a very good reason for it. .But
Paul tells us if a fellow marries he does
w<? ll—if he don’t, he does better. Mr.
Editor, I don’t want you to answer this
question, for you are already married,
and I have heard of the fox who had his
tail cut off. I would rather some doc
t° r would give us a Philipie. Or some
lawyer of our own day—they are gen
erally considered long headed, I believe,
I know some are long legeed. Paul
was something of n lawyer. He may
have spoken what was best in his day.
Pe haps he had not looked at it in *• a
capapie point of view”—had never been
in ‘ a Brown study” over it. You Bet
he never had a pretty woman, as are to
be found in our midst, to bins his judg
ment. Paul may have been a dyspep
tic, a sickly sort of fellow, always call
ing in some Doctor. I want to hear the
opinion able of some one who is strong, ath
letie, to go and sec the doctor if a ne
cessity were to arise. I want to be well
answered in this matter. “Jordan is a
