See tiio;n rising every where, Listen to their magic prayer. Hark! the. prayer is louder, stronger : Go! here comes a moment longer! Sweet village, yet or.e moment more rf ast l linger to adore; Yet 1 cling, and fain would stav And mingle with thy valley's tlav Bat 'tis cruel fates decree Tint I srnll depart from thee. And reck some rougher, wilder shore, Whose contrast 'uut endears thee more. Yet once more I turn again To view thy dear enchanting plain There I've wandered, there I've sported, And I had almost said courted Many a pretty blushing girl Of filly neck" and jetty curl. Hut forgive, it was not so, I rid) wi-licd to he a beau; That I might react) the ruby lip An I th'.re persuasion's nectar ip; fo.it 1 had no pa-pert f vears., Alas, the substitute was tear!

Which none could view with cnn-less mien, And linger vet and stili be pleass-d lien animation? hum hath ceai. How often too I used to rove Through thy coed encircling grove, And then my journey to prolong And hear the little warbler's song. Upon some fallen Ivachen trunk la weary indolence I sunk. And now my dreams forsake the grove And fly in search of wandering love; Rat l.ve is never lost, when gone, lie seeks ome prize to light upon. I h cmis are his master workmen, they M ik" angels out of common clav. L'Wt, though salesman, sometime? too, When pleased with eyes of softer blue, Will breathe therein a look divine. And one of these he named as min He sat her by me in the grove. No friend could be so kind as Love; He shew'd me all her charms divine. And said, "her name is Catherine." So great my joy, my ccstaey. The timid maiden flew awav 1 How oft thy beauteous verdant pi:, in. Would call to sport the youthful train. And ear.': ambitious hero glows With all the warmth an athlete kno.vs; To wrestle, run, or place our quoits. And all such harmless mild exploits.

Oh now I'd ak again such times, l'i e. from trouble, free from crimes; Rut I still must ask in vain, Commerce rules the lovely plain; Wealth now lifts his brow austere, llaimle-s pleasure dies with fear; Rustic simplicity no more Woatons on this fury shore, II 1?

GO TO WORK THE RIGHT WAY. vnnitKssf n to farmers. I am soi ry there is so mm h need of the. admonitions I am about to give. JVpend upon it, vou do not 'work it light," er veil would make your farms j'l-t twice as valuable as they now are. Many of you farm too much. You would find it much more profitable to firm twenty acres wr.ix, than forty by halve:. The Iat season I made my grounds produce at the rate of one hundred bushels of Indian corn to the acre. Is this not much better than a common crop of thirty or forty bushclls? You will certainly say it'is, and with the same breath ask how I manage to ptoduce so plentifully? My aJ lj,,, much infested with ground mice, or moles, and overrun with grubs and other vermin, I put on early in the month of M uch, about seven bushels of salt to the acre, which thoroughly destroys nil kind rf vermin, being an excellent strong manure, and ploughed and harvpd thr" grreind ov r and oirr, until

it becomes completely mellow: I then had every corn hole tilled with long manure, and after dropping my corn, (which had previouslybeeii soaked in warm water.) I scattered a pint of lime over ev ery hill, and then covered the whole with a little mellow earth. In about a week the coin began to come up plentifully, after which I nursed it with the plough and hoe, every other week, for eight weeks, at which lime it was as high as mv head, and not a spire

of it was destroyed either by frost, grub, or buds. Mv otlier lhmgs I manured, and couallv well, and I have been am ply paid for ail my care and extra trouble, as I raised more than twice as much per acre as any of my neighbors, and did it in much less time. I mean 1 got all my harvesting done two or three weeks before many other'. This is accomplished in a great measure by re deeming time; rising between three and four o'clock in the morning, then if the day be sultry and hot, I lie fiom tivtlve to three, and rest: I then feel refreshed and able to vvoik nil quite dark. This 1 call "w oi king it right," whereas should 1 lie in bed until the sun be up and shame nie, haunt haunt the tavern at night, drink too much w hi.-key, but half manure, half plough, half plan!, half nurse, half harvest, anil do every tiling by halves, I surelv should not "work it ii;;ht," nor get half a crop. I shall now conclude by giving you, for further consideration, a few excellent observations, fiom a wiser head, perhaps, than my own. and hope, that every brother farmer will do likewise. 'I often say to myself, what a pit v it is our fa cine is do not work it right. When I see a man turn his cattle into the road to run at larg", and waste their manure during a winter's day I say thai man does not "work it right." Ten loads of good manure, at least, is lost in a season, by this slovenly practice and all for what? For nothing indeed but to ruin hi farm. "So, when I see cattle late in the fall and early iu the spring rambling in a meadow or mowing field poaching the soil atid breaking the grass roots. I sav to rev-.' right'' this man does not "work it "So, when I see a barn vard with a drain to it, 1 say this man does not "work it right," for how easy it is to make a ard hollaw, or lowest in the middle, to receive the moisture and a!' the wash of the sides, which will thus be kept dry for the cattle. The wa-h and moisture of the yard mixed with any kind of earth, or putrid straw, is excellent manure, yet how much do not our farmers lo-e. by neglecting these; in fact, they do no, "work it ii!:ht."' hen I see a firmer often going to a relailer'.s store, with a bottle or jug, or lounging about a tavern. or wrangling about politics, or quarrelling with and defaming his neighbor's good name, I am certain such a man does not work it right." Ln a , poet rv , and romance; arc, after all, the truest guides in the road to fame. Who knows half so much about Charlemagne as the whole world does about Aberiard; and was there ever an empress whose name was so widely known as that of the mistress of the loveruionk '. When the; war of extermination between the Indians and Kentuckians was at its height, those who inhabited the back parts of (he state of Kentucky, were obliged to have their houses built very strong, w ith loop-holes all around, and doors always fastened, so as to repel any attack from the Indians. While the owner of one of these domestic forti esses was with his slaves, at work on the plantation, a negro who was posted n ar the house, saw approaching a party of Indians. lie immc.diatclv ran to the house, and the foremost Indian after lum. The Indian was the fleetest, and as the door opened to admit the negro, tlmy both jumptd in together. The other Indians being some distance behind, the. door was instantly closed by the I inter's wife within, when the Indian and negro grappled. Lonn and hard was the struggle, for as in tin; case of FiU .Jam, s and Roddick Dim, the one was the strongest and the other more expeit, but strength this lime was the victor, for they fell, the Indian below ; when the negro, placing his knees on ids breast, and holding his hands, kept him in that position, until the woman, seizing a broad axe, and faking the Indian by his long hair, at one blow severed his head from his body. The negro, then seizing (he guns, tired 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 Indians look to flight. A lads asked a child how long it took tobuild Rome, and was answered a night. How do you make thai out? she replied. Because mamma told mc it was not built ill a doi.

the gentleman's (London) Magazine

of fashion says: "We all love a pretty face, and some among us love a pretty foot; ladies know all this, and by way of raising their reputation of loveliness, we suppose not a few of them wear their petticoats so prodigiously short that every body can see not only foot, instep and ancle, but even the call ! Now, however pleasant one calf may think it to look at another, we had rather see things done c'ecentlv, and cannot think a public street a proper place for a ladv s leg to be looked at. beside if the fashion is to be general what will such ladies as lady D do, who has i:o calf a! all?"

A tradesman and his wife hat a hitter e.uarrel. In order to ai pease their fury, they threw all the port aide furniture out of the window. Tin wife then drew the bed to the window tipped the. ticking, and set all the feath ers afloat in the open air, then rushing to the bannisters el the stairs, and break ing her arm upon them, with an insane energv exclaimed. "Now, you scoun die!, you must pay for a surgeon!'' Sickness. Theie is something sickness that breaks down the pride of manhood; that solUns the heart, ant. brings it back to the feelings of infancy Who that has languished, even in ad vanccd life, in sickness and tlcspondei cy; who that has pined on a weary bed in the neglect and loneliness of a for eign land, but has thought on the moth er 'that looked on his childhood,' that smoothed his pillow and administere; to his helplessness? Oh! there is an enduring tenderness in the love o mother to a son, that transcends all other atleciions of the heart. It is neither to be chilled b selfishness, nor to be daunted by danger, nor weakened by woi thlessiK ss, nor stilled bv ingratiude. She will sacrifice every comfort to his convenience; she will sur render every pleasure to hi? ei j n rr.enf , she will glory in ins name, and exult in ins prosperity: and, if misfortune overtake him, he will be dearer to her from mis fortune; and if disgrace settle upon hi: name she will still love and cherish him in spite of hi disgrace; and if all the world besides cast, him off, she will bt. all the world to him. Fashion tv rannical rules the world, and a mo-t . i i i - mistress sue is compelling people to submit fo the most inconveni ent things imaginable, for fashion's sak She pinches our feet with tight shoes, or chokes us with a tight neck handker chief, or squeezes the breath out of our body by light lacing; she makes people sit up by night when they ought to bein bed, and keeps them in bed in the morning, when they ought to be up and doing. She make? it vulgar to wait upon one's self, and genteel to live idle and u'eless. She makes people visit when (hey would rather stay at home, eat when they are not hungry, and drink when they are not thirsty. She is a despot of the highest grade, lull of intrigue and cunning, and vet husbands, w ives, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, and servants, black and white voluntarily have become her obedient servants and slaves, and vie with one another, to see who shall be the most obsequious. In a Debating Society at West Point a short lime since, the subject of the evening happened to be some question on the Law of Nations. A great many learned speeches were made, when one of the Cadets rose in his turn to speak. He placed before him a large open volume, and thrusting his hand in his pockel, he. solemnly drew forth a potaloe and placing it on the book, said, "Gentlemen; here is Vatlle on the Law of Nations, and here is common -later (commentator) on it.
