II Doctorate U ordinarily too splendid a prize

lor a clergyman to reject, whatever, may

have been his former conditions. And who can wonder! Not much accustomed to the tokens of peculiar honor -among men he is generally too ready to appropriate to his own benefit all which comes fairlv within his reach. To a hungry man even "a dry morsel!' is sweet. But to conclude. If I deserve not the

i title of D. D. according to the principles

; upon which it is intended to be conferred, then common modesty ought to lead me jto decline appending "it to my name; and : if I might, in this case, wear the title without arrogance or assumption, then it is to be ; hoped, that the groin ds of its rejection will he duly considered and that this rejection will be followed by greater practical effects. The clergyman who is respectable for talents, and arquiremei!ts,ar.d dilligence in his Master's work, can serve G'd and his generation without his hon-

An address ciiupsed by James Pf.hry, ; and deliveri'd at the commemvmcnt of Jefferson College, on the 50; li of Sept. Pert is a native of the Chickasaw nation, in the 0t! Near of his aue, has attended the

Mission School at Elliot about two tears, and one session at this college. The gratification of his friends alone has induced him to consent to its publicatioi . Ttu- address was first delivered in the Chickasaw language, then in English, as follows: ! Uc't eeted Audience, j One sear fii.ee, little did I expect to br railed upoii in this distant region to ad dn-s those w ho are total strangers to rm native language. I3ul the overruling hand ot Provldfu ,tlr reasons to me unknown, hath placed me this day among you. Not to increase my stores of wealth have I j charged the Iriends, relations, and society ;ofmv childhooil f r lliat of straiicers; but to at quire a know-ledge of the arts and sciences, and familiarize mS' lf with the manners and customs ofeiviiiztd men. With these k ws and feelings, 1 have fce- ; ver il f.r a season, and pt iiiaps forever, tlioM ti s. which bou;ul mi' to inv kindred , and the land of my childhood. Ves; with these feeling, I have exchanged the friends and sports of the for st, for strangers, and tthe blessirgsof seiercc: audi rejoicc,that tlms far my most ardent w isJ.es have not been disappointed. An unseen hand, con

trary to m expec tations w hen I left the

; domestic cm ! aroin.d the fireside of my

Father, hath led me to this fountain of

I science, and plat ed me under the fostering j care of those who watch over the interests of this institution. Although 1 am an Inidian, and seperated more than seven hun- ! drod miles froni mv kindred and the limited tract occupied by my nation. yet here, often have 1 been animated by beholding j so many youths, hand in hand, ascending j the hill of science, aided by their superiors.

Placed as I now am in this land of

science and religion, it is natural to com- : pare the disadvantage s of my own country- : men with the priv ileges,he enjoyed. Here you have laws to protect the innocent, and j bring to punishment the guilty. There eery man must he his own avenger. Here you have schools, where the youth and childen are trained up for usefulness jand honor in the world. There with a t frw exceptions, the youth spend their previous time in roving the forests with their i instruments of amusement. Here you trust the faithful records of history for the

past, and the prophecies of sacred writ

WIT AT I'VE SEFJs. T have seen worth humbled, and unworthi aess exalted; yea, even so, that the fast was first, and the first was last. I have seen men of little intrinsic merit rising on the tide of fortuue, and running with the popular current of the day, until by the dint of impudence a'.d perseverance they have grown into consequence. I have seen those who were least efficient in the time of danger,most boisterous on the 6ubject of military achievments. I have seen persons far more attentive to the concerns of their neighbors than their own, and pry ing into affairs for the worst ofpurposes. I have seen stupidity allied to wealth producing a display ofsplendid ignorance, highly disgusting to a sound judgment I have seen an affectation of benevolence covering the lowest cunning and darkest intrigue; yea, verily, a wolf in sheep's clothing. I have seen a little creature so inflated with pride, as to be almost full to bursting.

It resembled a man too! I 1 have seen men put on airs of war and ! bloodshed who would almost run from a jlizzird. J I have seen men who were "all thine

unto all men," and I have seen all men suspicious of them. I have een men strive to exalt one who thev knew to be unworthy, merely for the purpose of depressing a rival.

OLD BILLY THINKS, When he sees a justice of the peace staggering about drunk, and swearing oaths that might choke an Algerine pirate, that lie does not well fit the place. He thinks there are more men practising physic than ever studied it well, and that if two-thirds were to quit it, there would lie enough left to answer every needful purpose. He thinks that ifthis country could exchange lazv, drunken, gambling you- g men to the amount of one hundred, for industrious oung farmers it would be better for the girl. He thinks that if the girl of eighteen wait for all their seniors to marry before them, they will not all be married in twenty years. He thinks, if men would drink less whiskey, their families could afford to drink more coffee. He thinks that people lay heavier taxes on themselves than those laid by government.

The pleamres and advantages of agricultural pursuits are perhaps so well understood as to exclude the propriety of any remarks on its utility; and to those engagcd in the employment, it may pass oil as a useless enterprize, inferior to their knowledge; and comprehension of the subject: vet we indulge the thought, however inaffectual the design may prove for correcting and improving the practice of farming.that

! the pleasures incidental to this avocation

may be increased by description, and may be as interesting and much more consistent with rational improvement, than the ideal forms of fiction or the deceptive colorings of novelty. What can afford greater compass for description, or a nobler theme for the range of the imagination, than the beauties of the landscape, or the ease and comfort of agricultural prosperity? What can engage the attention of the great body of the community so deservedly as a description of things to which their daily employments arc directed? The causes are the same in this as in the mechanical or professional pursuits; and thus, whatever exhibits an improvement, unfolds an in-

, crease of wealth to ambition, or success to

the vigilance of enterprize, is embraced with eagerness and understood with advantage. As life cannot be sustained without its aid, the utility in striving to promote the prosperity of this honorable and interesting employment is both advantageous and desirable.

Good Tillage. Graeeinus, in his book concerning vines, relates that he often heard his father tell of a certain Pariniu?, who had two daughters, and a farm planted with vinee. Of this farm he gave onethird part as a marriage portion, to the man who wedded his elder daughter, and notwithstanding,reccived as much produce as before, from the two-thirds which he reserved to himself. Afterwards, on the mar-

i riageof the younger daughter, he gave a-

w.'iy the halt ol the remaining land, and found his income still in no respect diminished. What concludes he from this? But that the third part of 'the farm was at length better cultivated than the whole used to be before.
