 to call in ten days : she called, when we went to 

 examine the pot, and the seed was just bursting 

 thro;igh the earth, although wo had neglected to 

 water or take it in from frost at night. On en- 

 quiring more particularly wo learned that tIjB 

 seed had been sown in one of tlic dry sandy 

 fields in the Jersey.-;, at the time when it had not 

 rained for seven weeks, and the soil was dry and 

 hot. A volume might be filled with such instan-

 gardens of our friends and customers are cul-

 Ihcrs who may have observed their mothers,

 ur friends that the seeds do not srrov.-. Th»t 

 y of the seeds I'ail in growing ws believe; 

 that the fault lays, not with the seed but witli 

 gardener, we know in most instances, to he 

 case. 'J'wo weeks ago a Gentleman came in 

 store and left an order for seeds and his gar- 

 er to receive them, and walked away : while 

 as selecting the seeds, among many other 

 s'ions, (which satisfied me he was no garden-

 a cucumber, squash, melon, &c. and many of 

 sorts of beans. 



a the fall of 1325, one of these self-created 

 rdeners purchased an ounce of celery seed, and 

 the spring following he sowed half of it on a 

 t bed ; not one grsin of it came up. Piobaldy 

 bed was too hot; for men, not gar cncrs,

 s call too much bottom heat. As he li\ •■ i far

seeds not growing is owing to their not being 

 rolled. Celery, spinage, onion, and indeed almost 

 every other kind of seeds, will not vegetate, ex- 

 cept the ground is rolled after tlie seed is sown, 

 or except a heavy rain falls, to beat the ground, 

 which answers tlie same purpose. Where there 

 is no roller on the premises, the following may 

 answer as a substitute : — 



After the seed is sown, and the ground well

THE PRESERVATION OF TEETH. 



It is the concern of eac.'i individual to cherish 

 and improve his own piiysical system — as it is 

 the province to repair and restore this system 

 whenever it is injured by accident or impaired by 

 disease. These respective offices, though thoy 

 often more or less run into each other, are in oth- 

 er instances quite distinct — as in the management 

 of the teetli — The possessor has merely to keep 

 his teeth clean, this being all that is requisite for 

 their preservation ; the dentist must do tne rest. 



This keeping the teeth free from impurities, is 

 indispen.sable to their sounuucss and good appear- 

 ance. To suflfer the particles of food and other 

 offending materials, which are constantly collect- 

 ing about them, to remain, is to favor the produc- 

 tion and activity of those causes which eficct their 

 ruin. Whatever, therefore, is best suited to keep 

 these instruments clean, is als' best suited to pre- 

 vent heir discoloialiou and decay. Wiioever is 

 accustomed to the lirxiiry of a clean mouth and 

 teeth, feels the want of his refi-eshment as strong- 

 ly, and enjoys it as highly, as a bather does a 

 pure skin. 



We every day meet with reputable people who 

 mean to be neat, and who have the satisfaction of 

 imagining they are so, and yet they neither bathe 

 the skin nor rinso the tnouth ! Tlieir standard of 

 physical purity must be very lo'v, for how can 

 neatness consist with a neglected surf;ice and 

 mouth .'' Some young persons, who are pleasing 

 and estimable in other respects, seem to have no 

 idea of the unpleasant eiTect which the sordid 

 state of their teetli must have on their ai^quaint 

 anco and associates. Ta see the bloom and fresh- 



scends the next. Carriages are sent to any part 

 of the City for passengers. 



On board a Canal Boat there is neither cause 

 of apprehensian, fright or danger. There is no 

 overturning of a carriage, or bursting of a boiler, 

 no impediment from fog, storm, or head wind. 



A UINT TO AMERICAN FARMERS. 

 It has frequently been remarked, that the ex- 

 portation of Corn, from any country, if long con- 

 tinued, must tend to exhaust the soil, unless some 

 articles capable of b<;ing converted into manure, 

 are introduced to compensate for the injury. — 

 Many parts of the North of Africa, and of Asia 

 Minor, which formerly supplied large quantities 

 of corn to Europe, have since become deserts. — 

 Perhaps oite of the chief causes of the progres.?, 

 we (the English) have made in agriculture, and of 

 the superior productiveness of our fields, has 

 arisen from our exporting but few, and importing 

 many, of the articles which are capable, when de- 

 composed, of becoming manure, and being applied 

 to renovate the soil, as much or mor« -as it is ex- 

 haustcii by cropping." — Jacobs on the Corn Trade. 



CHINA. 

 In an article in the Asiatic Journal for April, 

 on " the disturbed State of China," it is asserted, 

 that the Empire is much agitated by internal com- 

 motions The inhabitants of Formosa have been 

 in a state of insurrection against the Chinese 

 government, for the last year. The mountaineers 

 descend and distress the people of the plains. In 

 the N. W. of Chin'i there are serious disturbances. 

 But the most alarming affair is a rebellion against 

 the throne of China, oriirinating with the Ma- 

 hometan tribes in Western Asia. The Hong mer- 

 cliants and others in Canton have subscribed a 

 million and half of Tuels out of their incomes. 



Several dogs in the city of Charleston, S. C. 

 have gone mad. A gentleman and lady and two 

 servant.^ have been bit, and it appears that a great 

 alarm prevails through that city-
