The times of which we are writing are remarkable for the extension of periodical literature, especially for the ubiquity of ihe Ncicsj.opcr. The au- thors of the Spectator, the Tatler. the Humbler, had no conception of the modern newspaper. It seems like putting ihe gravity of our readers to the test when we name this as the most wonderful and powerful agent of our times. It is made of rags, ropes, rush- es. and lampblack. Great pains are taken in fitting up the visitant tomake a respectable appearance in our man- sion ; but in ils best trim, its preten sions are very humble. It is dumb but it tells us of all which is done up- on the earth. It bears in its own name the initials of the four points of the compass, N. E. W; S.â€"news. Reek- ing, in hot haste, as if out of breath, it delivers it message and then is crumpled up and thrown into the waste paper basket to ignite the morning’s fire. Yet is there nothing more worthy of preservation ; for it is the great dial-plate on the clock of time. Go to the archives of an historical So- ciety and consult an old newspaper let it be a file of the Boston JVews Let- ter, commenced in April, 1704, the first ever published on the Western con nent, supposing it to be complete, and extended to the present time. Read of African slaves in the town of Bos- ton.â€"perhaps a fresh cargo of stout- limbed Guineamen have arrived in a Newport ship in Virginia ; turn rapid- ly over the leaves of the volumn ; vour eyes catc’e a succession of great names and events.â€" Benjamin Franklin resisting the censorship of the press, aud making the lightening of the skies a pastime for himself and son,â€"the stripling surveyor, George Washington, roaming over the spurs of the Alleghanies and along the banks of the Shenandoah,â€"tribute money, unjust taxation, muttering* and rebellion, Lexington, Bunker Hill, revolution, independence, confederacies and constitutions.

Bui i a newspaper is a daguerreotype of the whole world.â€"its waitings and dip- lomacies, its buyings and sellings, ils governments and revolutions, its mar- rvings, partruitions and dyings. A newspaper is a real microcosm.- -the world made smaller, held in the hand, and brought under the eye. The huge telescope of Sir John Harschel is so swung that it reflects all the dis- tant wonders of the skv, sweeps across its lenses, upon a small horizon!- a a tises his wares, that it is all sheer selfishness ; for if it is pleasant to one Vesh sup| table under the eye of the observer nd analogous to this, a newspaper brings all the occurrences of remote continents, incidents at the North Pole and the antipodes, under the light of your reading lamp, and within the space of our parlor table. The even- ing has come, the damp sheet is spread out before you, and with an ill-con- uealed impatience you sit down to see what new spectacle “ Time, the scene shifter,’’has prepared for yout astonish- ed and delighted eye. The whole world is in motion before vou. This is no small gossip about what took place under yourown windows in Cock Lane ; but as Isaiah, in the vision of prophecy, beheld the great concourse from all quarters of the earlh, the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah, the ships of Tarshish, aud the forces of the Gentiles hastening to the rendez- vous, so, in sober fact, the most re- mote and improbable agencies, from the four winds under heaven, are hur- rying through the air and over the sea, to deli- er their separate t dings, in that small sheet of paper which you now hold in your hand.â€"Camels, those ships of the desert,†are now traver- sing the arid wastes of Egypt and Arabia ; steamers are now entering or leaving the harbors of Botbay, Odessa, Constantinople, Suez. Naples, Genoa, Hamburg, Cadiz, Southamp- ton, and Liverpool,â€"ponderous en- gines of speed and power instinct with life,†Tramp, tramp, along the land they ride, Spash, splash across the sea.†the Laplander with his deer, the Es- quimaux with his dogs, the electric wires at Paris, Berlin and London, every instrument that can convey thought, every agent that can convey intelligence, in every land, on every sea, in every city, and hi every wilder- ness, on every road and every river, all are in motion, at the top of their speed, toopen their budget, and enter- tain you, an humble looker-on at home, with the s/iifting panorama of the whole earth. Sometimes we weep, some- times we laugh, we pity, we are in- dignant, we fear and we hope by turns, and are always wondering what will come to pass next. The newspaper.then. is the peculiar- ity of an age of intercommunication, an agent of human sympathy. Whal else lies at the bottom of conception but a just idea of man’s fraternal rela- tions 1 It is the cheap correspondence carried on between all members of the human family. What a man puts in- to a newspaper on the other side of the globe, is on the supposition that it will interest the rest of the family on this continent. As we learn more of our fellow men, we feel a kindlier in- terest in them.â€"We rejoice in their prosperity, sympathise in their calami- ties, and cheer on their struggles for the right and the good. There are now too many newspapers abroad to allow a man to live like a snail. They enlarge the world to our knowledge and our love. Why is anything made public but on the belief that it will be of interest to many others'? Why is it announced in your paper that Isaac and Rcbeeca were married on a cer- tain day last week, but on the supposi- tion that it will give you pleasure to know it1? And when, lower down on the sheet, under that startling word Deaths, your eye runs along, always with apprehension lest it fall on some well-known name, and reads that the aged father, the young child, the be- loved wife, the rich, the poor, the ad- mired, the honored, and the beautiful are gone, is it not taken for granted that even strangers will heave a sigh for the afflicted, and the world respond in sympathy to, the incursions of a common foe ?â€"Read in this light, the commonest advertisements which crowd our papers have a kindly odor about them. Say not with sneer, as though you were to announce a I re si i supply or wool, hardware or muslins, is it not just as pleasant to some other one who wishes to know it? When a brace ol young partners in trale insert their virgin advertisement, informing the world how happy they shall be to wait on customers, can vou read witiiout entering into their fresh hopes and giv- ing them your blessing in their now career'? Business advertisements! Waste paper ! You know not what you say. Those ships that are to sail toevcrv harbor in the world, those fabrics which have arrived fro u every commercial rnaiket on earlh. this iron from Russia, tea from China, wool from Smyrna, fruit from Malaga, coffee from Cuba, cotton front Georgia, sugar from Louisiana,â€"do they not pi each to us at the corners of the streets, at the entering in of the gates, on our docks, and in our custom-houses and exchanges, sermons on the mutual de- pendencies of mankind ?â€"Rev. Dr. Moms, of jYtw York, in the " Christian Review.'’ Moses himself, the inspired historian oi the creation, to whose authority it i. of tallow (futile to expose the half-hazard conjec- tures of his annotators, makes no at tempt to give any date ; it was.suUicieni for him, one of the wisest of men, ain possessing divine information, to stati that the world arose “ in the beginning’ >f all things, and that ‘•beginning’' the discoveries of modern science have placed far beyond the hypotheses of European ei.rooologists.â€"J\iedl 'JEir. Kalendoriv m. HOWTO PRESERVE HEALTH THE PLEASURES OF AGRICULTURE. With many, agricultural life is a life of ceaseless and unending toil. No higher aim or object is seen in it, save to plough, to sow, to reap, to “ do business and get gain so that the dollar be made, no matter whether the soul is buried beneath the body’s toil or not. Lost in its toil, we think not that it has a pleasure. But let us pause a moment and look around us ; there are things that come to us in the way of our business, that to other men iu other occupations, would be looked upon as luxuries. It is in the power of every farmer to have a good garden; from his garden, during the season of vegetables, his table can be supplied at a trilling expense, wjth the choicest and freshest of thenar-**** Ux> of fruits, apples, pears peaches, cherries, plums, and a variety of others, all can appear at his social board. During the sum- mer months, the inhabitants of the city fly to the country for health and fine air, whenever opportunity offers ; but the farmer and his family, if health and fine air are to be found in the country of his abode, will be sure to possess them. Contrast the pale and sickly appearance of many children inhabitins; Keep the bowels open, the fee waim, the head cool, and a fi^ for tfi ph_\ sieians.†•• Km in « measure, and defy llio doctor.†Rise early in the morning, wash the whole body that you may be clean, vigorous, elastic, joyous. Take a draught of pure water, and then walk, ride, exercise, or better, labor in the open air, at least for a short time. Afterwards go to a plain m^al of brown bread, milk, potatoes, and the like healthful articles, such as a King should be thankful to partake of. Ho not eal in a hurrv ; better to take the water and omit the meal altogether, than eai in haste.

These are epigram- matic snuff-takers. who come to the point as fast as possible, and to whom the pungency is everything. They generally use a sharp and severe snufl’. a sort of essence of pins’ point. Others are all urbanity and polished demeanor; they value the style as much as the sensation, and offer the box around, as much out of dignity as be- nevolence. Some take snuff irritably, others bashfully, others in a manner as dry as snulf itself, generally with an economy of the vegetable ; others with a luxuriance of gesture and lavishness of supply, that announces a moister article, and sheds its superfluous honors over neckcloth and coat. â€" Leigh Hunt's Journal.

The period which follows the deluge for nine generations, the number computed for the creation, does not offer smaller variations; the Hebrew codex gives 202 years, the Samaritan 942, the Septuagint 1972.

Com- mittee and school-officers, in employ- ing teachers, should consider" il of para- mount importance that they be posses- sed of the right principle, spirit, tact, and manner for interestingnnd judicious- ly feeding the delicate, plastic mind with wholesome moral instruction. A teacher may discourse fluently upon the many ologies, osophies &c., and at the same time lack capacity and tact, fur faithfully instructing in theoratical and practical ethics. How to read, write, play, sing and so forth, our chil- dren are continually being taught ; but why not occasionally, yes, regular- Iv, teach them the object for which these and numerous other accomplish- ments are bestowed, viz., how to live good and useful lives. Teachers, vours is the duty and sacred responsibilityâ€" To pour the fresh instruction o’er the mind. To breathe the enlivening spirit and to fix The generous purpose and the noble thought. • Every earnest, faithful, enthusiastic teacher can find sufficient time in his school-room to appropriate daily for general exercises in the first principles of ethics, and the simple, familiar, practical parts of natural theology. If lie has not the acquired ability and apt- ness lo attain such daily exercises, he can, bv a little fore-thinking, reading and preparation on the previous even- ings, acquire sufficient to successfully n'erest and benefit his pupils, at tin- same time materially improve him- self. He can adapt the instruction t< their several capacities for compr. - hendmg such solitary and sober les sons. To be sure it implies no very lov standard in a teacher to eflectualK and happily succeed in this two-folc! office of instructor of heavenly minds, germs of immorality ; but a qualified professional teacher is nothing sllort ol what we need, and must have in I hi. lineteenth century, to properly edu •ate our youth.

THE GONG. We find the following “ rib-tickler†in an exchange :â€" Speaking of gongs, a trio of old ladies, delegates to the Womans’ Rights Convention, lately stopped at the Burnett House, Cincinnati. They had never heard a gong, and we give Mrs. Trod well’s own description of it: We hadn’t been in our own rooms very long, till, jeininy crtmeny, of all the noises that ever did noiseâ€"grow- lin’, bellerin’, howlin’, screechin’, and thunderin’, all rutnblin’ up in one in- fernal muss of a sound !â€"We thought the day of insurrection had come, sure enough ; all were awfully frightened. Miss Saffron vowed that it was Gabriel blowing his last trump, and that he was a little hoarse. Miss Skinflint, she bounced into her bed, crying out, • feathers is non-conductors !’ Direct- ly the all-fired howlin’ shut up, and then there was a sound of folks run- uin’down stairs fit to break their necks. We were all makin’ for the door to run, loo, when something knocked at ihe door. We were afraid to open, >ut at last Miss Saffron, bold as a lion, advanced and peeped through a key- hole. There we stood, shivering with frightâ€"just at this minute the door opened, and what in the name of flog- «ins do you think it was ?â€"Why, no- thing but a poor, mean., good-for-noth- ing, deceitful, valler nigger, wanting to know if we’d come to supper ! ‘Has the teligraphic magnetiff exploded f asked Miss Skinflint. ‘ Ma’am,’says he again. • Then.’ says I, * What was that infernal howlin’ about, you great, stupid, silly nigger V ‘ That noise just now ? oh, nothing but the gong, I reck- on, says he, and the critter went off grinning. What a gong was couldn’t tell but from its voice we guessed it was some astonishin’ wild beast they had tamed and let run loose about the house to skeer decent people out o( their sense.†POTATOES. Some experiments have lately bee» made, as to the best mode of cutting potatoes for seed, one of which was as follows :â€"' Last spring,’ says a corres- pondent of Granite Farmer, 1 planted four rows of equal length side by side* with two varieties of potatoes ; in one row I planted nothing but the seed ends including about one third of the pota- toes ; and in the next row I planted the butt end of the same potatoes. I had one row of seed-ends and one row of butt-ends of a variety called Peach Blows. The yield ol these four row* was as follows .â€"Pink Eves, but ends. 217lbs. ; Seed-ends 170!bs. ; Peach Blows, butt-ends 225lbs. The pota- toes cut from the butt-ends appeared from a week to ten days earlier. The result corresponded with his for rner experiments. Had the whole field been planted with butt-eaids, the yield would have been »ore than 500 bushels to the acre. He also planted iwo rows next to the above, in one oif which he only put large potatoes, half a. tuber in each hill cut length-wise, so as to divide the eyes equally ; and in the other he dropped only small pota- toes, one in each hill.; from ihe foi- iner he dug 18llbs., and from the lat- ter he dug only 134 lbs. The average vield of the field w;jjs about ISOlbs. to ihe row. the large(nol the very largest} lotatocs w re used for seed, cut length- wise, with half of a tube in each hill The above experiments, so far a* heir truihfulness mav be relied on, rove two things, which are of hnpor- anee to every farmer * first, that the ult-end is ihe best end of the ^vitatoe V>r seed. It gives a much better re- urn, both in quality aud size; aiid econd, the la.ge potatoes are prefer- ible for seed lo small ones. The pre- vailing opinion in Britain seems to lie 'hat whole potatoes of ordinary size are the best of all. A hull on entering tier kitchen the other day, found ihe oven swimming with grease. On asking ihe servant, a Welsh girl, the cause, she answered, with the greatest simplicity.
