THE question — How shall wc find food for our 



stock? is happily receiving its best answer by the 

 rapid growth of green food under the refreshing 

 showers of the last few days ; for we have at length 

 the sound of abundance of rain. The remedy for 

 the severe drought and cold weather of the last two 

 months has happily come before much mischief hi 

 been done, and a somewhat later harvest will pro- 

 bably be the utmost blame that can be laid upon 

 the season hitherto. 



Among the discouragements which beset, and oftea 



arrest altogether the progress of one who is endea- 

 vouring, perhaps late in Jlife, to acquaint himself
