EDUCATE THYSELF. 
Physically, morally and intellectually. Physi¬ 
cally,—for unless the encasement of the soul is 
preserved, such is the intimate relation between 
the body and the mind that the latter must inevita¬ 
bly suffer. As to the moral education, there was a 
time when mind needed no cultivation. Its moral 
purity was perfect. In the primitive days of man’s 
creation, mind, like matter, was a lovely garden, in 
which the beautiful flowers of innocence and love 
had a spontaneous growth,— or, if you please, a 
casket filled with diadems that insured to the pos¬ 
sessor wealth as enduring, and beauty as lasting, 
as duration infinite,— it was a statue, fresh from 
the Omniscient Artist’s hand,— bearing in every 
feature the impress of Divinity. 
Milton says, that through envy, Sin desired the 
fall of Eden’s pair. Indeed, it was a state to be 
envied, and Time led captive Earth’s fairest daugh¬ 
ter to pay her homage to the tyrant, Sin. Guilt has 
stripped the luxuriant garden of its fragrant licr-

Messrs. Eds. :—Will you please enlighten me on some 
curious and to me important questions: 
1st. What is the best method of preserving tlio grape 
vino and cherry trees from the rose bugs ? 
2d. Why can more milk be obtained from a cow when 
milked fast than at a slow rate ? 
Sd. Is the season of sunset preferred for watering 
plants to any other part of the day, and why? 
4th. What are the joints of cornstalks for, and why 
nro they thicker near the bottom than near the top? 
5th. Does the sap of trees descend in autumn ? 
6th. Does the gap of wheat ascend in the aperture of 
the centre of the stalk, or near the surface ? 
7th. Will a post last longer placed in the ground, bot¬ 
tom upwards, than the natural way, and why ? 
Frank. 
Remarks. —1st. It is not easy to point out the best 
method of protecting grape vines and cherry trees 
from the ravages of the rose-bug, but the svds of 
whale-oil soap, thrown upon the plants by a 
syringe, or in any good way, will destroy these 
voracious insects. 
2d. The rapid or quick milking of a cow will n 0 
produce more milk than a slower milking. The

We are not able to determine how barren would be 
the waste—how great the dearth of the mind would 
be in its fallen state, were it never visited by any 
refining or elevating influences. 
The mind is worthy to be educated, or, why was 
it made capable of improvement? Would an om¬ 
niscient being frame anything unworthy of its 
author? Look upon the earth. Is it not a work 
worthy of a God? Yes, it is material. Then shall tomed to systematic reading, we make some sug-
