IROAIthe extensive circulation given to a mal'ci- thq other grasses, not only for soiling, pas- ami hay, but for the improvement of the soil, and its efficacy in withstanding the drought, would require a greater scope than my intend* cd limits would permit. I shall therefore brief ly confine myself to those facts which havo been tested by experience and evinced by practice—feeling confident that every farmer will be induced to make an experiment so va luable for his stock and the melioration of his soil. The red and while clovers are the only sorts known in American tillage. As to the wild sort with a rough leaf, it is of no value. Ano ther species called lupinclla, has lately been introduced in Maryland imported from Italy. It is thought that this will be a valuable acqui sition to our grasses. The nutritive matter contained in-the red clover, renders it particularly advantageous for the soiling system, as well as for hay, and far preferable to the white which is generally too short for mowing, unless mixed with other gras ses, which it is said will make it grow to a greater length. Red clover is esteemed for coming in the spring nearly a month before other grass; con sequently it is of infinite value for feeding oung cattle and early lambs. It brings in the earing cows to milk, and puts them in vigor and health before calving, purges calves/ and makes them wholesome, and prevents the poaching of pastures, by furnishing food ’for your cattle, until the grass is of sufficient length to make the ground firm. Clover will thrive luxuriantly in any but wet soil. It prefers a light sandy or loamy soil, and- will with the assistance of plaster, thrive well upon gravels. A light top dressing should be given early in the spring. On tenacious soils, a small quantity of lime or soot would be preferable, but on light land the effect of gyp sum is astonishing, (three pecks of wh£fi for a top dressing is sufficient to the acre.) Sinclair’s remarks on tho cultivation npd ga thering of clover, are worthy tho attention of every farmer. He says, “To ensure a good crop. Clover may be eaten off till tho first of May by sheep, and about three weeks after the hay is taken off they must be put on again.— For pastures other grassy must he mixed.— Clover must be mown before tho seed is form ed; after being cut, tho clover should remain in tho swarth until it is dried about two-thirds its thickness; it is then not strewed, but turned over; the hay should be as little shaken or scat tered about as possible.” After frequent repetitions clover fails; on a soil it will last throq years; from the first crop (especially on highly manured or rich land) there is no seed worth gathering, tho herbage or stalks bei^ too thick; the second crop grows more even and comes sooner to ma turity; tho successive crops deteriorate every yoar, until clioaked with weeds or grass. To cultivate clgver with success, the ground should be ploughed and cross ploughed, liar- rowed with U heavy harrow and cleaned of stones and weeds; the seeds should bo planted in early spring with grain; writers on agricul tures give the preference to flax; from six to ten quarts may bo sown to the acre; there is fio danger of it being too thick; the seeds should be harrowed in with a light harrow, the teeth of which should not exceed six inches in length. . The advantages in sowing clover thick are—first, its attaining a groat length—second, tho plants are more viscous and succulent— third, the stalk not being exposed to the sun, duct of its cultivation on one acre, viz; three ton s of hay, and SO 1-2 bushels of clean seed. *‘Tho seed, when manufactured into flour, makes a cake more wholesome and equally pal atable with buck wheat.”—It may he sown from jlio first of May to tho 20th o/June.or e- ven later, v Quantity of seed about one bushel to the acre. Col. Powel, of Pennsylvania, says, “Millet succeeds best on light land, and requires as much strength of soil as oats. I have not seen either in Europe or America, any green crop which so largely rewards accu rate tillage and plentiful supplies of manure. I have sown it from tho first of May to the 2<Mb of June, and have invariably obtained more fodder than could havo been had from any grass under similar circumstances.” In another com munication ha says, “Millet should never be grown upon land which is not in good condition and very fine tilth. The seods should bo light ly covered by a harrow with wooden teeth and after rolled. Of thirty acres upon whicli my last crop was grown, I tried various experi ments. The field which was the most lightly harrowed was the most productive. I om led to beliovo however necessary the harrow is in all cases, to properly covor the seeds, yet in few is it used with sufficient-care, or in a fit shape.— Excepting winter grains, I know no seeds which are not, I think usually too dcoply buried MISCELLANEOUS.

I would ndv ; se sowing a small proportion of strong stemmed grass, (when intended for hay,) as clover requires sheitor when young, as well as after it has acquired its full length, being apt to lodge. If you sow it with winter grain, it would bo well to sow ono half your seed with the wheat, and the other half in a slight frost in February, it being apprehended that it grows so fast as to injure the growth of the wheat.— More seed is required when sown with spring than winter grain. Soils also require more or less seed in proportion tu their richness: poor soils require the less. The seed should be plump, of a deep pur ple, which is the surest indication of their per fect ripeness (being a faint color when unripe.) Seed if ripe, will readily shed from the husk when rubbed. Lord Kaimos observes, “(bat clover should bo exposed to the sun an hour or two before tho flail is applied.” White clover is indigenous in almost every section of our country,, but appears more on some soils than others; swino thrivo well on white clover, but care should be taken to have them well rung, before turned into pasture.— [Wire passed twico or thrice through tho snout and fastened, to proyentthem from rooting.] For permanent pastures, use on low lands (ant to be overflowed,) and on salt marshos, a third while clover mixed with two*thirds rye grass, or meadow-fox-tail (herd’s grass) whicli prefers a moist soil, and it is particularly grate ful to cattle; the roots are so much malted, as to form a hard surface not easily poached.— This grass'is a native, and produces larger crops than any other of our common grasses; it grows tall, and thrives well on any kiml of soil except sand and gravel, more especially* umjfcr a northern climate. It should be cut wbon just out of blossom. , NUMA.

Frcomasonry is an institution of very re mote origin. It is the offspring of every clime, and lias flourished in every part of the world. With its origin we dato tho birth of Science^ in its march wo trace the progress of civilization: audinits train wo mark Truth, Charity, and Benevolence. With heavenly aspect it looks abroad upon tho scenes of human life; leads Charity to the door of poverty; dashes tho cup of misery to the ground; and as the ministering angel of heaven, casts round the woild an equal eye, and feels for all that lives. Charity is the brightest ornament of the Masonic edifice; ii is the main pillar of our institution; it is the com mon property of a Mason and his God. ^Chari; ty warms and expands the heart, and enriches it with feelings of the most unlimited sympathy and benevolence; and byrubbingoffthat world ly rust,which would collect around it nnd corrode the feelings, renders it familiar with the most ex- quisito sensations. It is Charity that teaches the soul its origin: which intuitively familiarizes it with heaven; aud inspires it with divine hope of immortality. s ' 1 7* ’ . /. Benevolenco is also a star in the Masonic firmament; it cultivates a good understanding between men, and dissipates the rancorous feel ings which would make a wreck of brotlioriy love. . Men in all stations, both high and low, arc equally Capablo of Benevolenco; for its lit eral signification is well doing. It is the lot of Benificence to administer to tho needy cup of humanity; it is (ho lot of Benevolence to show mercy to the limits of others: to possess the mind with feelings of compassion and a just toleration. Pope prayed for a benevolent dis position in the following lines: ' Teach me to feei another's wo, To hido the fault I ice, That mercy I to others show, That merey show to mo. The Wise and good men in every age have been the supporters of Freemasonry; and the ignorant and prejudiced havens universally per secuted it. Born in the first beam of intellect ual light with the scroll of scicnco in its hand, we find in it tho earliest ages illuminating tho east and unfolding the misteries of knowledge.— Its progress was regular from tho first astrono mers on the plains of Chaldea, through the wise and mystic circles of Egypt, to the sages and philosophers of Greece and Romet In its train uo discover philosophers, law-givers priests and senators; Pythagoras, Solon, Euclid, Phocion, and Confucius. It tamnd the spirit of thd fu rious demagogues and taught its disciples the tcicnce of freo government. Sparta furnishes a government fully illustrative of its- practical effect even upon the most hardy of the human species. That it has had enemies is not surprising^ for oxperienco of tho present day proves thiit any institution, calculated to diffuse a spirit of liberality and equality, will receive opposition from despotism, It has been pursued and scour ged, and men havo boon been tortured upon tho rack for obeying its principles; but when persecuted almost to destruction, like the Ara- thusa, it has arisen in -a distant clime, and breathed the air of instinct and freedom.

Baltimore and St. Louts.—Distant asit may , appear to some, wo think it not at all improba ble/that those two poinss are destined to be come more Immediately connected in commer cial intercourse, than St. Louis and Now Or leans are at present. The whole of the stock for the completion of the projected Rail Road from Baltimore to the Ohio River, Ins been ta ken, and there is no longer a doubt hut this magnificent work will bo accomplished with all ^ possible despatch. The practicability of this truly grout undertaking, and tho facility wiih which it appears it may bcaccomplishpd,induces us t* believe tho Baltimore rail load will be ex tended through one of the most fertile countries iu the world to the banks of the Mississippi, opposite St.' Louis. Wio seo nothing which forbids the hope that this may not bo realized. It is supposed the road will terminate on tho Ohio river, at the mouth of tho Little Ken- hawa, opposite the town of Marietta, a distance from Baltimore of about 250 iniies. Fiom that point by tho most direct and practicable route to this place, it is supposed the distance will not exceed 500 miles; making the whole extent of the rail road from Baltimore to St. Louis 750 miles. -This by the aid of tho loco- motivo steam waggous, would bring us nigherto Baltimore than to any other great commercial point, tutd would necessarily draw a great pro portion of the wealth of the magnificent Valley of the Mississippi, immediately to the Chesa peake Bay. The consummation of this object is of tho greatest importance, not only to tho western country, but to the city of Baltimore. New Orleans at present, may bo said to mono polize die wliolo trade of the west, which New York expects to divide with her, through tho Illinois nnd Michigan canal; but if the rail road, should be extended-to St, Louis, Baltimore will come in fur a full share of our commerce, and indeed, taking tho whole western country into consideration, may secure more than ei ther of the other paints.—St. Louis (Missouri) v Enquirer, Census, Statistics, Sfc. of the State of New York.
