Lavater is about to be thrown into the shade by a certain Dr. Redfit'ld. now lecturing in N. ork, on the subject of Physiognomy, which lie illustrates by rules, arguments, and indexes, not dreamt ol in the philosophy ol his prede cessors. Speaking ol’ one of his recent dis courses, the Tribune says: “The very interesting subject of the eve ning’s lecture was the “ Signs of a Domestic ‘ and Social Character, and of a Character ! C. old and Suspicious.” The lecturer prefaced ] his discourse by speaking of the true source : ot domestic .ilfection —conjugal affection, and ol the identity of man and woman, their be- | ing one as no poetic fable ; but that man and woman, united in the conjugal relations, are one, as man’s intellects and affections ate iden tical. He spoke of man’s knowledge of his own identity being more readily perceivable on the left side—woman’s on tlie right side. It will he recollected that in the last lecture the Doctor gave the index ot Kindness as on the lelt side ot the forehead ; Benevolence oa the right., which help to prove the identity of the ieading actions of the sexes. Os the Domestic and Social facul ies he introduced first that of Parental Love—the love, of parents for their children. Its indica- j tion is by a muscle on the anterior side, from the centre ol the forehead —of Kindness and Benevolence, which elevates the brow. This faculty is larger in woman than in man. — Some have, a greater love for male than fe male children, while with some persons the love is equal. The love lor males is indicated jby the elevation of the right brow; of fe ! males, the left. These faculties regulate the ! social positions much, as those persons who ; love children, are generally of a kind, benev olent disposition, while it is remarked of those | persons who do not like children, are of a cold I and miserable nature. Filial Affection is in i dicuted by the second incisor teeth in the up per jaw. Persons who have them large arc j extremely fond of their parents —they are lia ’ ble to be homesick when they are separated ! from them, and are fond of bringing their pa rents to live under their own root! and of culti- I vatirig the love of grand-parents in their j children. Persons who lack this endowment are directly of an opposite nature —are inrdif- I ferent to their parents; and of necessity, when I they lack natural love, they are ol a cold dis position. It exists in some degree in the low er animals, but not to such an extent as Pu- I rental Love. Love ol Brothers and Sisters — ; this naturally follows from the foregoing fa culties; our first love is to our parents, next to those ol our own blood. This faculty is ■ indicated by the breadth of the second incisor teeth, and exerts much influence on the social system ; for those who love their own brothers must love mankind as such ; and it is evident that those who are cold to theirovvn kin make but very indifferent members of society. : The faculty of Friendship is indicated by the muscle which surrounds the lips; if large, it produces strong affection, and is one of the ■ strongest elements in our nature —hi fact it is almost Conjugal ! Friendships founded in I youth last with lile as the conjugal relations do. A person having this large is not willing I to believe anything of his friend ; he makes i a great many allowances, and leels that his | friendship cannot die; they are slow in mak ■ ing. and have few friends, and are very care | fill in contracting new friendships, being Jia j Mo to cnffr ik’ they eliouhl nnt prove true. It constantly increases witli years, j We frequently bear old people talk with smiles and tears of the friends of their youth, and go i over and over again the actions of friendship. I Confidence, the disposition to confide, is in dicated by the breadth of the nostril forward ; I persons who have this faculty are very frank, i and are remarked for their openness; such persons are very liable to get into difficulties, in which they are too apt to make friends.— : Love of Approbation is the desire to approve I others, and to he approved. Persons having this organ always show the teeth when they I meet persons whom they like ; they have the mouth open in a smile* to approve—are til ways pleasant. The negro has this faculty large; he likes to be told that he has done so and so grandly', has acted cleg tntlyu made this or that look fine—he likes this; it is his nature and he will act better bv being so .approved. Many persons tire inclined to think this faculty a lading —a weakness—but it is not so; per sons do not like to approve or be approved tor ■ anything bad—they would rather conceal such; hence it leads to good, and is a great guard against evil. All strong Republicans nave the upper teeth large, and it gives a gen erous appearance to the mouth; and it is the love of approbation tor good deeda, nnd the’ expansion of the true social system, which strongly identify the Republican. The Love of Distinction is a strong feeling in societ, —the love to be celebrated, to have one’s nam sound abroad ; the person having this faculty likes to be known in his parish, his town, county —aye, country —mayhap farther, by the whole world. Tile indication of this organ is by a muscle passing downward from the inner angle of the eye to the mouth which elevates the upper lip. It is large in clergy j men, who wish to take the supreme authority | over their Hocks ; in lawyers, in writers —es- pecially of fictions, and that sort of ephemeral character. Love ot Distinction is not the love of immortality; it generally finds action by sound —in the voice, while Love of Emi nence is the disposition to occupy a high posi tion—to catch by’ sight or be seen. We would say, a distinguished orator or writer; but it would not be so correct to apply that term to a painter; we say. “ he is an eminent artist.” Voice is the general conveyance for Distinc tion —sight or occupation that of Love of Emi nence. The last named is generally’ large in artists. The indication of the Love of Emi- I nence is by r a small muscle passing down ! ward from the inner angle of the eye to the j nostril, which draws it somewhat upward; i voluntary motions or perversion of this fa | culty tends to sneering and looking down on ’ persons. The Love of Admiration —tube ad mired for b-auty, or something we possess, some gift of Nature or improvement by art, lor our appearance in dress, nr for our style of living, paintings we may have about us, or other cause—is indicated by a stnafl muscle, which produces a prominence under the cen tre of the eye. It is larger in woman than m : man, and she has more the sign of it; we sol- ’ dom see a woman without that certain full- I ness which indicates this fieulty. Persons who have it. generally express themselves en thusiastically. Cheerfulness is indicated by a muscle pass ing lrom the outer angle of the eye to the an gle of the mouth. The action ol this faculty produces a happy and cheerful expression of lace. Os the Cold and Suspicious Faculties— they are generally those which act against those mentioned of the Social Character, or by their perversion, but there are others which more directly come to the question. The first. Scorn, is indicated by a small muscle in the lower jaw, which draws the chin up.— There is a little difference between Scorn and Contempt: in the latter you thrust the under lip out; by’ the constant working of the faculty of Scorn a line is formed directly over the chin. Jealousy is indicated by a certain fullness in the low'erlip. Envy—of those who may r excel us in talent, or other qualities —is indicated by the curling of the under lip down ward. In Cromwell’s face there is great scorn, and contempt and envy; the chin drawn up. and the lips thrust out. Hatred is indica ted in the lower lip ; this faculty’ is the oppo site of Love of Approbation. If this is large, the mouth is drawn downward, and shows the lower teeth. It is in carnivorous beasts. Melancholy—Gloominess—is indicated by a muscle passing obliquely downward to the chin from the angle of the mouth, and pro duces that solitary look which never can be mistaken for Cheerfulness.” In the course ol the evening tlie lecturer answered many questions, and explained ma ny signs to the attentive audience, which they did not comprehend at the first glance. The laces ol three persons were examined, and ac cording to the testimony of their friends pre sent, the Doctor’s reading proved very true. Agricultural Letter from Gen. Washington. ‘ We are indebted to the kindness of an old friend for the following valuable document:! valuable not only’ because of the revered source j from which it emanates, but because it affords • many excellent lessons from an able atid prac- 1 tical farmer; it is too, strongly characteristic ; of ihe American hero. We see here the ex ercise in private life of that attention so detail that inflexible devotion to order and discipline, which so eminently mark the public charac ter of Washington. No one can read this let- i ter without seeing at once that the writer was an industrious, sound practical farmer. He whose indomitable en- rrv Imd riven freedom to a world, did not e.-ue n. Jte most minute de tails of agriculture unworthy his attention. It will probably surprise the reader to find Gen. Washington insisting upon the use of harrows and cultivators in the cultivation of his corn ; this we have been accustomed to plume ourselves upon as a much more modern invention. The letter directed to his overseers, is taken from the manuscript copy in Washington's own hand writing, and, as we are informed, now appears in priutlor the first time.— Chc ra w Gazette. Piiiladflphia, 14th July. 1793. Gentlemen : —lt bei tg indispensably neces sary that I should have some person at Mount Vernon through whom I can communicate my’ orders ; who will see that these orders are executed ; or if not obeyed, who will inform me why they are not: who will receive the weekly reports and transmit them ; receive money’ an t pay it; and in general to do these things which do not appertain to any individ ual overseer —1 have sent my nephew, Mr. Howell Lewis, (who lives with me here) to attend to them until I can provide a manager of established reputation in these matters. — You will therefore pay’ due regard to such directions as you may receive from him. con eidering them afl coming my'self. But that you also may have a gene ral knowledge of what I expect lrom you, 1 shall convey the following view (which I have of the business committed to your charge) as i it appears to me, and direct you to govern yourself by’ it; as 1 am persuaded nothing in consistent therewith will be ordered by Mr. Lewis without authority from me to depart from it. Ist. Although it is almost needless to remark that the corn ground at the farm you over looked ought to be kept perfectly’ clean and well ploughed—yet,because not only the good ness of that crop depends upon such manage ment. but also the wheat crop, which is to suc ceed it, I cannot forbear urging the propriety and necessity of the measure in very strong terms. 2d. The wheat is to be got into the barns or into stacks as soon as it can be done with any sort of convenience.,that it may not (es pecially the bearded wheat, which is subject to injury hy wuathi-rj aiietniii lo.es in shocks ; and because the shattered grain in fields may be beneficial to the stock ; but no hogs are to be put on stubble fields in which grass seeds were sown last fall, winter, or spring; other stock, however, may be turned on them, as it is rooting that would be preju dicial. 3d. The whole swamp from the road from Manley’s bridge, up to the lane leading to the new barn, is to be got into the best and most complete order for sowing grass seeds in August or, at the furthest by the middle of September. The lowest and wetest part thereof is to be sown with timothy seed alone. All the other parts rs tt are to be sown with timothy and clover seed mixed. The swamp on the other side of the aforesaid lane (now in corn and oats) is to be kept in the best possible order, that the part not already sown with grass seeds i may receive them either this autumn (as soon as the corn can be taken off with safety) or in the spring as circumstances shall dictate. No exertions or pains are to be spared at Dague run to g t the swamp from Manley’s bridge up iu the meadow above, and the two enclosures in the null swamp, in the highest order for grass, to be sown iu the time and manner above mentioned. Cut that no more may be attempted than can be executed well, proceed in live following order with them, ac cordingly’ as the weather may happen to be, for this must he consulted, as dry weather will answer to work in the low parts best, whilst the higher grounds may he worked at any time. Ist. Begin with the swamp from Manley's bridge upwards, and get all that is not already in grass, well prepared for it, and indeed sown. 2d. That part of’ the low meadow on the mil! run, which lies between the old bed of it and the race, and within the fences. 3i. After this is done, take that part of enclosure above (which was ia corn kist year.) lying between me ditch and fence No. 1. up and down to cross fences. 4th. Then go over the ditch and pre pare slipe after stipe as the ditch runs from the one cross fence to the other, and continue to do this as long as the season will be good, or the seed can be sown with propriety and safety. I conceive that the only way to get these grounds in good order and with expedition, is to give them one good ploughing and then to tear them to peices with heavy harrows. Whe ther it be necessary’ to cut down and take off the weeds previous to these workings can be decided better by experiments on the spot than by’ reasoning on it at a distance. My desire is that the ground shall be made perfectly clean, and laid down smooth ; without which meadows will always be foul; much grass left in them, and many schythes broken in cutting what is taken off 4th. The buckwheat which has been sown for manure ought to be ploughed in the moment a sufficiency off seed is ripe to stock the ground a second time ; otherwise, so tar from its an- | swering the purpose of manure, it will lie- \ come an exhauster. For this reason, if the ! ploughs belonging to the farm are unable to . turn it in time, thiseof Muddy hole, Dague rnn and Union farm, must combine to do it. the work to be repaid by the farm which re- i ceives the benefit, as soon as the work is ac-) compltshed thereat. stli. Where clover and timothy seeds are ( mixed and sown toother, allow five pints off; the first, and three off the latter to the acre; j and where timothy only is sown, allow four i quarts to the acre. Let the seed be measured ; in the proportions here allotted, and put into a ] half bushel filled with sand or dry’ earth, and j extremely well mixed together in yonr own j presence or by’ yourself, which will answer two , good purposes, viz : Ist, to prevent theft, for seeds thus mixed would not sell—and 2d!y, the seedsman being accustomed to sow’ a bush el of wheat to the acre would be at no loss to cast a bushel of this or anything else, regu larly on that quantity of ground. 6th. It is expected you wil I begin to sow’ wheat early iu August, and in ground per fectly clean and well ploughed. I would have, and do accordingly direct, that not less than five pecks of seed be sown on each acre. The plan ot’ the form over which you look is given to Mr. Lewis, from which the contents ot each field may be known. And it is my express direction that every watch and the best atten. VOL. XXVII.—No. 4. tiou may be given to see that this quantity actually is put in; for I have strong suspicions (but this ought not to be hinted to them) that the seedsman help themselves to a pretty large toll. Tth. A s soon as you have done sowing and even before, if it can be done conveniently, you are to set heartily about threshing or treading out the wheat; and as fast as it is got out. to have it delivered at the mill or else where, according to directions. The longer this business is delayed, the more waste and embezzlement will there be of the crop. The wheat is to be well cleaned; the chaff and light wheat are to be properly taken care of for the horses or other stock—and the straw stacked and secured as it ought to be against weather and other injuries; and until the whole be delivered, it will require your con stant and close attention. Bth. Tiie oats at the farm you overlook, are, 1 presume, all cut; in that case, let all the scythes, and cradles, and rakes, which you have received, be delivered over to the man sion house ; or if you choose, to keep them against next harvest you must be responsible for them yourself! Oth. The presnniption also is, that the flax is. ere this pulled ; let it be well secured and at a proper season stripped of its 6ecd and spread to rot. During this operation, let it be often turner! and examined that it be not over done. or receive injury in any other respect by laying out too long! 10th. Get the cleanest and best wheat for seed, and that which is freest from onions. I would have about one-third of my whole crop sown with the common wheat: one-third with the white; and the other third with the vel low bearded wheat. The overseers ( with Da vy. as he knows the state of his own farm and the quality of the wheat which grows upon it) may meet and decide among themselves whe ther it would be best to have some of these sorts on every farm; or in order more effec tually to prevent mixture, to have one sort on ly on a farm. In the latter case, the cutting of that which ripens first, and so on. must he accomplished by the force of all the farms in stead of eaeh doing its own work. If the seed on one farm was to he sown on another, espe cially if seed which grew on a light soil was to be sown on a stiff one. and that which grew on a stiff one sown on a light ground, advan tages would unquestionably result from it. 11th. The potatoes at the mansion house must be worked by the ploughs from Lnion farm, and when this is required, it would be best, l conceive, to accomplish the work in a day. 12th. It is expected that the fences will be made secure, and no damage permitted with in them by creatures of any kind, or belong ing to any body—mine any more tnun others. 13th. The greatest attention is to be paid to stocks of all kinds on the farms; and the most that can. be made of their manure and litter. They are lo be counted regularly, that no false reports may be made; and mining ones if any. hunted tor until found or the man ner of th< ir going can be accounted lor satis factorily. 14th. A weekly report, as usual, is to be handed to Mr. Lewis. In this report, that I may know’ better how the work goes on, men tion when you begin to plough, hoe. or other wise work in a field and when that, field is fin ished. The increase, decrease .and changes are to be noted as heretolbre —and let me ask: 15th. Why are the corn harrows thrown aside, or so little used that I rarely of late ev er see or hear of their being at work? I have been run to very considerable, exuense in pro viding these and other implements for my farms; and to my great mortification and in jury, find, generally speaking, that wherever they were last used they remain, if not stolen, till required again; by which means they as well as the carte, tcceive eo much injury from the wet weather and the heat of the sun as to be unfit lor use: to repair or supply the place of which, with new ones, my carpenters (who ought to be otherwise employed) are con tinually occupied in these jobs. Harrows, af ter the ground is well broken, would certainly weed and keep the corn clean with more ease than the ploughs. I hope, therefore, they will be used. And it is my express orders that the greatest eare be taken of the tools of ev ery kind, carts and plantation implements, in future; for I can no longer submit to the loss es 1 am continually sustaining by neglect. 16th. There is nothing 1 more ardently de sire nor indeed is there any more essential to *my permanent interest, than the raising of live fences on proper ditches or banks; yet noth ing has ever been, in a general way. more shamefully neglected or mismanaged ; for in stead of preparing the ground properly lor the reception of the seed and weeding and keep ing the plants clean after they corne up—the seeds are hardly scratched into the ground, and are suffered to he smothered by ihe weeds and grass if they do come up; by which means the expense 1 have been at in purchasing and sending the seeds (generally from Philadel phia) together with the labor, such as it is, that has been incurred, is not only lost, but (and which is of infinitely more importance to me) season after season passed away. and I am as far from the accomplishment of my objects as ever. I mention the matter thus fully to show r how anxious I am that all ihe seeds which have been sown or planted on the banks of tee ditches should be properly attend ed to; and the deficient spots made good, if you have or can obtain the means lor doing it. 17th. There is one thing 1 roust caution you against (without know ing whether tht r be cause lo charge you with it or not) —and that is not to retain any of my negroes who are able and fit to work in the crop, in or about your own house, for your own purposes. 1 liis Ido notallow anv overseer to do. A small boy or girl for the purpose of letching wood or water, tending a child, or some such thing. I do not object lo ; but so soon as they are able to work out, I expect to reap the benefit ot their la bor invself. 18th. Though last mentioned, it is not of the least importance, because the peace and good government of the negroes depend up on it; and not less so my interest and your own reputation. 1 do, therefore, in explicit terms, enjoin it upon you to remain constantly at home, (unless called off by unavoidable business, or to attend Divine worship) and to be constantly with your people when there. There is no other sure way of getting work well done and quietly by negroes ; for wht n an overseer’s back is turned the most of them will slight their work, or be idle altogether. In which case correction cannot retrieve cither, but often produces evils which are worse than the disease. Nor is there any other mode but this to prevent thieving and other disorders, the consequence of opportunities, ‘i ou will recollect that your time is paid for by me, and it 1 am deprived of it, it is worse than the rob bing my purse, because it is also a breach o. trust, which any honest man ought to hold most sacred. You have found me, and you will continue to find me faithful to my part ot the agreement which was made with vou, whilst you are attentive to your part; but it is to be'remembered that a breach on one side releases the obligation on the other. It, there fore, it shall be proved to me that you are ab senting you™/from the farm or the people without just cause, I shall hold myself no more bound to pay the wages than vou do lo attend strictly to the charge which is entrusted to you by one who has every disposition to be.
