and it requires only a little more philosophy to get rid ol the evil or good influence of the moon ; which like the prejudices just mention ed belongs also to astrology — the phenomena of the phases of the moon upon which such direful causes de pend are as follows : the moon re volves once a month round oui earth and according to her position is ap parently more and mme enlightened in a like proportion until we lose sight of her altogether ; the explanations oi , tbe various appearances of the moon during her monthly course are suffi ciently familiar but it is not so well known or remembered that the moon's revolution on her axis is precisely equal to her revolution in her orbit ; and therefore that though the moon is a globular body — yet she constantly keeps the very same face or half pre sented to us — and lhat we arc as ignor ant of the appearance of the other half as we are of what is going on in the planet herschell having premised thus far let us examine whence the supposed influence of the moon can be derived ji it proceeds from thc substance or body of the moon we constantly have the same quantity of influence exerted on us — whether the moon be new lull or in her last quarter ; for ns before ob served the very same face or half of the moon is always presented to us — and as the influence is equal at all times if there be anv how can one time bc more proper lhan another . ii this evil influence depends on the light that we perceive or receive from the moon how is it that the direct rays of the sun have no such influence r and that when reflected from the moon they are so injurious i this sounds like saying any thing warm injures more than when red-hot — or that a little cold i more disagreeable than intense cold but in the proportion that the light from the moon increases liv\\)uvtiys wanted tiie subscribol having contracted with the commissioners of the state of n carolina to improve liroad river in rutherford county wishes to employ from 10 to 20 hands to work on said river , lh would employ them hy the pfuv£-ite good iv :.£ ■*=, ami ina.ee jirompt pay ments in cash hi would be glad to make a contract vvitli any person who has the hiring of slaves for the hire of 10 or 12 stout hands bv the year application cither personal or written to be niat'u to the subscriber at rtitherfordton n carolina green ii palmfer blacking which when on tho boots or shoes can bc rubbed with a cam bric handkerchief without soiling it in tlie least and will assume the lustre after be ing plunged in water as befotc litre a k instead of an essay on the impolicy of feeding grass grounds too closely in the fall i vvill now merely remark that the ground and the routs of grass want a coat to protect ihem from the extreme rigor of winter and suffer se verily if it ft without i the warmer the co-it ol fog covering thc ground through thc winter thc more vigorous nnd early will be thc spring growth ;
