From the American Farmer.

THE FARMER'S VERNAL ODE. The Farmer's joyous season, Comes tripping- gaily on; Its heralds are the gentle airs, Warmed by a genul sun. And now he wends him o'er each field, Each hedge and fence along; And through the groves and o'er the hills, His gladdened herds among. And joyously he views them all, From dreary winter free; And feels as doth the mariner, Just from the boisterous sea. Though herbage sear and leafless boughs. Arrest the careless view ; He sees the living gems that peep, Their winter shelters through . And gladsomely he greets them all, Those little buds of hope; Which soon Will 'neath the genial sun, Their fragrant flowerets ope ; From which he'll see the future fruit, Emerge and ripen soon ; And thence the farmer's store of joy, Of hope the promised boon , O! deem not tame such p'easures, As come with spring's return,. To fill the farmer's bosom. Nor vet their offer. nrs spurn. For O f of earth the sweetest, The purest joys we sing. Are those the farmer feeleth, On the returnof spring. Female Intrepidity When the vraf of extermination between the Indians and the Kentuckians was at its height, those who inhabited the back parts of tha state of Kentucky, were obliged to have their houses built very strong", with loop holes all around and doors always fastened so as to repel any attack of the Lidians. While the owner of one of tfiese domestic fortresses was with his slaves, at work on the plantation, a negro who wa3 posted near the house, saw approaching a party of Indians . He immediately ran to the house, and the foremost Indian after him. The Indian was the fleetest, and as-the door opened to the negro, they both jumped in together. The other Indians being some distance behind, the door was instantly closed by the planter's wife within, when the Indian and negro grappled. Long and hard was the struggle, for as in the case of Fitz James and Roderick Dliu, the one was the strongest and the other more expert, but strength this time was the victor, for they fell, the Indian below; when the negro, placing his knees on his breast, and holding his hands, kept him in that position, until the woman, seizing a broad axe, and taking the Indian by his long hair, at one blow severed his head from his body. The negro, then seising the guns, fired them at the other Indians, which as fast as discharged, were loaded again by the planter's wife, until the party from the field, hearing the firing, arrived, and the Lndians took flight.. The Sailer in Church. A celebrated commodore of the American navy, having a few hours to spend in a port where fie was unacquainted, concluded on attending" ,'a religious meeting, and for this purpose, taking with h';m his favorite servant, he started off for the church. ''Now mind," says he .to Jack, as they were going, "in the metingyou say not a word no one is to speak there but the minister." Jack, who had been accustomed to obey, as well as to see his master obeyed, "right or wrong," promised obedience, and they went into church.. A seat wa9 provided for the commodore, near the preacher's desk, and Jack, left alone, after looting around the church for some time, was invited to take a feat by the side of the deacon. The minister, having opened the service, proceeded to giVe out the hymn, and as there was a scarcity of books, it fell to the deacon's lot to repeat the lines for the ingers. No sooner had he rose than Jack, twitching his coat, whispered :n his ear, you'd better be still I had my crders afore 3 came in here so you'd belter be still." The deacon proceeded to read, and Jack repcate 1 his admonition, but 'all to no purpose he had got out the two first lines, and all the members of the meeting were engaged in singing, when the poor tar, roused to desperation at seeing the commodore's orders disobeyed, right in his own face and 'ees, turned to the deacon, and rolling up his sleaves, he exclaimed, "Tou was the beginning of all this ere roiv. and shiver my timber, if you doivt pay for't !' and he hammered away, first on one side and then cn the other, till the whole scene became a powerful illustration of the difficult ies of the church militant. Providence Pctrict. Whys and JSecauses. Why i a harp or piano forte, which is well tuned in a morning drawing room, not perfectly in tune when a crowd ed evening-party has heated the room? Because the expansion cf the strings is greater tha that of the wooden frarre work; t in cold the reverse will hzpptn.'.ir?iott. Why are urns for hot water, tea pots, coffee pots, &c. made with wooden or ivory handles? uecause, it metal were used, it would conduct the heat so readily that the hand could not bare to touch them; whereas wood and ivory are non-conductors of heat. Why does a gate in an iron-railing shut loosely and easily in a. cold day, and stick in a warm one? Because in the latfcpr, there is a grater expansion of the gate and railing thin of the earth on which they are placed. Why are thin glass tumblers less liable to be broken by boiling water, than thick ones? Because the heat pervades the thin vessels jdmost instantly, and with impunity, whereas the thicker ones do not allow a. 'ready passage of heat. Why will a vessel which has been fiPed to the lip with warm liquid, not be full when the liquid has cooled f because of the expansion of the fl-.u J by heat. IJence some cunning dealers in 1. quids make their purchases in very cold weather, and their talss in warm weather. Why is a glass stopper, sticking fast in the neck of a bottle, often released by surroundingthe neck with a cloth taken out of hot water, or by immersing the bottle up to the neck? Because the binding ring is thus heated and expanded sooner than the stopper, and so becomes slack or loose upon it. Why does straw or flannel prevent the freering cf water in pipes during winter? Because it is a slow conducting scrren or c-vering, and thus p events heat passing out of the pipe. By t'-esame msana the heat is re tained in steam pps." Parisian Sabbath. There is little in the appearance of Pai is on Sunday morning, to remind us that it is a day of rest; the markets are thronged as oilier days, carts and dnys, and. ''all sorts of veiiic'es designed for the transportation of merchandise are in motion, buying and seliing, and manual labor is perforated as usual ; and there is reat for neither

man nsr beast. In the afternoon vheps are usually closed, and labor is suspended and the remainder of the day is devoted to pleasure. Few of those who go to church appear to have any other motive than amusement They walk about the aisles, gazing at the pictures, and lis'ening to the solemn music, and go away when they are tired. Those whom I have seen really engaged in worship, appeared to belong to the lower classes; and with the exception of those few, the persons you see in church are mere 'idle spectators Hteaton. Civilization V ISarbarism. What is Civilization? Noah Webster says it is "the etate of being civilized the state of being refined in manners." What then is refinement A nice observance of the civilities of social life,' says he, and thus the seeker of the definition vibrates like the pendulum of a clock between the two words, learning only that civilization is refinement and that refinement is civilization. Let us be permittee! to define a little. Civilized people are those whose man

ners and customs are like our own, in whatever county we may happen to be born barbarians are those whose manners and customs are different from ours. Here, for instance, a civilized man is one who wears breeches, boots, a shirt, coat and hat; who eats with a knife and fork, and drinks coffee or tea with his breakfast. Pass to the banks of the Arkansas, and the wigwams of the west, and there the man is civilized who wears a blanket drinks water, (rum is the offspring of civilization) sleeps on the ground. Thereihc civilized lady bores holes in her nose and suspends her ornaments to that very respectable organ here the refined lady bores holes in her ears for a similar purpose. What is there, abstractly, more civilized in the ears than in the nose? Yet we laugh at the squaw in her blanket & with her nasal ornaments, and call her a savage.Again Mr. Brown comes down from Buffalo and meets his old friend Smith, in Broadway. Their right hands instantly meet, and a violent shaking ensues. 'What are those men fighting about,' says the dark son of tropical Africa, to his white friend. "Fighting! pooh! They arc old friends that have not met for a long time, and they are expressing their good will toward each other by shaking hands." 4 What barbarians! why in my country when two friends meet, they rub their noses together.' 'What savages!' says the white man. The ceremonious Mr. Fitzgerald meets the courtly Mr. Clarence, and each raises his beaver. 'What does that meanf says Hassan Golou. We are saluting each other' is the reply. 'What a ridiculous custom,' says Hassan, 4in my country, we salute by clap ping both hands on the forehead, and making a low salaam. 'What barbarians?' exclaims the Congoese, 'in my country whenever two gentlemen meet, they snap the thumb and fore-finger at each other.' 'How ludicrous!' says the white man. Spirit of common sense! wilt thou deign to tell whether the manners and customs of anv one of (he three are more ridiculous than those of the others t The Per&ian pulls his meat to pieces with his fingers, and eats horse flesh. 'Shocking,' says the New-Yorker, as he sits down at a game dinner, to a dish of bears meat. The Indian cooks his rattle snake much to the horror of brother Jonathan, who breakfasts on stowed eels. The Abyssinian cuts a steak from his cow, sews the skin over the wound and lets the animal go about her business, until another slice is wanted. 'The unfeeling wretch!' cries the European butcher as he sticks a pig in the throat and looks complacently on the expiring grunter. Ths .Moorish lady stain3 her hair and the ends of her fingers with saffron. sDear me how strange!' says lady Bar bara Belle, and away she goes to her toilette, to rogiie for the evening ball. I he Chinese women compress their feet to the length of a paper of tobacco. The fair peripatetic of Broadway laughs at the absurd custom, and screws her waist to the dimensions of a Spanish segar." The Turk goes to market and buys half a dozen wives. 'The brute!' exclaims the civilized beauty of fashionable life, and marries the richest suiter that she can find. Now then have we not satisfactorily proved that civilization consists in our own way of doing things and that barbarism consists in other people's way of doing things? Let common sense answer. JV. Y. Standard. The Szciss Hunter. The following curious occurrence is mentioned in the Journal dear here: A short time ago n hunter, who was sporting on the banks of the lake of Wallenstead, in Switzerland, discovered the nest of one of those destructive birds the 'lammergeyer,' a species of vulture; he shot the male, and made his way along a projection of the rock with a view of taking the young birds. He had raised his arm, and put his hand into the nest when the female, hovering over his head unperceived by him, pounced down upon him, fixed her talons in his arm and her beak in his

ride. The sportmnn, whom the slightest movement must have precipitated to the bottom of the rock, with that coolness and self-possession so peculiar to the mountain huntsman of that country, notwithstanding the pain he experienced remained unmoved. Having his fowling piece in his left hand, he placed it against the face of the rock, pointed to the breast of the bird, &: with his toe, as they always go barefooted, the better to enable them to hold and climb the rocks, he touched the trigger, the piece went off, Sz. killed his enemy on the nest. Had the bird been any where dse, it must have dragged him dowu along with it. He procured assistance from the neighboring auberge, or inn, hard by, and brought the two birds as trophies of his valor away with him. Some of these birds have been known to measure 17 feet from tip to tip of the wings, and are only equalled in size by the Condor of South America.

A useful lesson. It is in the rccollection of persons now living, that a man announced his intention of performing on the stage the wonderful undertaking of making a shoe in a moment, complete in all its parts. The thea tre was thronged to sulucation ; but who can describe the mingled rage and wonder, when, instead of a broad calt Uin, the Coblerian Professor produced his leather in the Fhape of a hoot, and holding it up to their astonished eyes, addressed the audience thus; "Ladies and gentlemen, this, you perceive, is a boot; but now (?aid he, cutting off the top and making two slitt? for the letchets.) you see it 13 a shoe!" That modesty which alwavs accompanies exalted merit would not permit him to wait for the plaudits of his hearers; he had already secured the profits of the night, and justly considering that he had performed his engagement?,, by teaching them a very useful lessor, he wished thorn n good night, and immediately decamped! Churches in Philadelphia, The following, it is believed, is a correct list of the churches in this city. Roman Catholic 4; Protestant Episcopal 12; Presbyterian 1 ; Covenanters 1 ; Baptist C; Methodist 10; Friends G; Free Quakers 1 ; German Lutheran 4; German" Reformed 2; Reformed Dutch 3; Universalists 12; Swedenborgain 1; Moravian 1; Swedish Lutherans 1; Christian 1 ; Mcnonists 1 ; Bible Christians ; Mariners 2; Jews 1 ; Unitarian 1 ; Primitive Methodists 1 ; African I Totai 92. More Light. A jolly sweep in Boston who had been keeping up thanksgiving pretty snugly and partaking rather freely of the creature comfort, which rendered his optics somewhat cloudy, and his head being more spirited than his pedestals, it was with some difficulty that lie navigated his way home in the evening, he however made a 'home thrust' and mistaking a large slongh in the street for a crosswalk, soon found himself wallowing in it after having extricated himself he ti'.u? soliloquized. 'Now berry true mas?u Troop's proclamation sarmon cum to pass, dat man's wisdom be but a small light shinen about de step?, showin de tings dat be ncer ell', while be mud holes close by be hidden in de dark, and therefore let a poor nigger fall in em 'fore he tink.' Display of Technicals. A doctor, cn going into his boarding house and not finding dinner ready, observed, "what are there no symptoms of dinner yet?'' uNo appearance,''' replied a hncyer. There's a sample of it," said a mrrchanl as a servant appeared with turkey. "Faith and a fine token it is,'' rejoined a printer.

MEDICAL COLLEGE. TPIY and with the advice and consent of the Reformed Medical Society of the United States, the New Unformed Medical Institution has teen located in Worthington, en interesting and flourishing town on tne he' stone ri ver, eight miles north of Columbus, on the northern turrpike. This scite has been chosen because it presenst the greatest ndvinta. grs to facilitate the researches of tie Botani cal student the country around it abounding with every variety of medical plants i and the situation heing the most hkaltht and delightful in the Western country and because the occupancy of the larpe College Edifice, to gether with ground cf every variety of sod for an extensive Botanical Garden has been presented to us by the Board of Trustees of Wcrthington College. There will be attached to the Institution, a Dispensary for analysing and preparing V; getable medicines; and an Ir.firmary, where per.nna from the neighborhood or a distance, la. j bouring under Fevers, Consumptions, Dyspep. sia, Iiver complaints, tiravel, Ulcers, fistulas, Cancer?, Sic &c. will be successfully treated, without Bleeding. Miner ht, or the Kxifs, and from which the student will acquire a correct knowledge of the nature, operation, and superior ofneacy of vegetable agents in removing disease. The necessity for an Institution of this kind, in the West, to be under the direction of com petent Professors i3 strikingly evident. It is an institution that is designed to concentrate, and d'sstminate, all the knowledge and di3coveries of Doctors of Medicine and empyrics, sages and savages t and that will demonstrate to the student and the sic!i that Vegetables alone, afford the only rational, saf, and effectual means of removing disease, without impairing the constitution, or endangerirg life or limb That the present system of Practice, whih treats diseases of every form, with Metalic minerals, the Lancet or the Knife, is dangerous, y.nd inrfiV.ient the lamentable facts which every day present tso fully illustrate. Nor is this truth more clearly exhibited, than the fact, that Vegetable substances alone, are void of danger, and powerfully etlicient when prop, erly administered ; a reference to the success of cur New York Ir.Jrrmary, and the success of ignorant Botanical physicians, prove this fact. The College and Infirmary will be open?d he first week in December, wht re students from all parts may enter find complete their Medical education, and where persons labour, ing under every species cf disease shall receive prompt and faithful attention. The course of study to he pursued, ard which will be taught according to tha OLD and the RrpoRMin systems, by Lectures, Hecitations, Examinations and suitable test books, "i5, 1 Anatomy and Physiology. 2.

By attending this Institution, the Student will acquire a correct knowledge of the Present practice of physicians a knowledge of the us?, and abuse, of Minerals, the Lancet, Obstetrical Forceps and the Knife, and akncwl edge of a new and Improved system, that eu percedes their use, with ten fold more safety and success. Thtre will b? no specified time to complete a eourss of study $ whenever the student is qualified he may graduate and receive a Diploma sme will pass in one year, others will require more.
