The ladies of Charleston, both whigs and lories, now united in a petition to Lord Rawdon, couched in the most eloquent and moving language, praying that the valuable life of Col. llaynes mihl be spared; but this also was trea

ted with neglect. It was now proposed

that Col. I la nes' children, (the mot Iter had recently expired with the small pox) should in their mourning habiliments be presented to plead for the life of their only surviving parent. Being introduced into his presence, they fell on their knee, and with clasped

hands and weeping eves, they lisped their father's name and plead most ear

nestly for his lite. Header, what is

your anticipation; do you imagine that

Lord kawdon, ritxing their motherless

condition, tenderly embraced lhe?e af

flicted children, and restored them to the fond embrace of their father? No!! the unfeeling wretch was still inexorable: he fullered even these little ones to plead in vain! His son, a youth of tltiitecn was permitted to stay with his father in prison, who beholding his only parent loaded with irons and condemned to die, was overwhelmed in grief and sorrow. "Why,"' said he.

"my son, will you thus break your fath

er s heart with unavailing sorrow? Have I not cfien told you that we came into this world to prepare for a belter? For that better life, my dear boy, your father is prepared. Instead then of weep

ing, rejoice with me, my son, that my troubles are so near at an end. Tomorrow, I set out for immortality. You will accompany me to the place of my execution; and when I am dead, take and bury me by the side of your mother."' The oulh here fell on his father'sneck, crying, ''O my father! my father! I will die with you!'' Col. llaynes would have returned the strong embrace of his son; but alas! his hands were confined in irons. "Live,"' said he, "my son, live to honor God by a good life, live to serve your country; and live to take care of your brother and little sisters!'' The next morning Col. 1 layncs was conducted to the place of execution. His son accompanied him. Soon as he cim. in sijrht of the

gallows, the father strengthened himself and said, "Now, my son, show yourself

a man! That tree is the boundary of my life, and of my life's sorrows. Beyond that the wicked cease from trou

AY hen we look upon the vast extent

of the territory of this continent, and consider the fertility of the soil, the rich mines and extensive minerals it possesses, we are presented with an almost il-

imilable field for mental researches

;nd scientific improvement.

Nearly every thing that is useful in

our pilgrimage through life is drawn

from the earth, lhe mam use of sci

ence is to explore the minutias of nature, to fathom its secret caverns, to bring

forth the hidden possession of the earth

into comprehensible identity. Where

then is the occupation that so richly

furnishes a perpetual supply of menial food as that of agriculture. In the con

stant exercises and every day labors of

the farmer, the business of his science is progressing, if his intellect has been set right in the education of his youth.

1 he theory is all essential, lor this con

stitutes the implement by which he is to prosecute the study of nature to its

practical utility.

A man cannot go forth upon the land

with any good degree of promise msci

cntilic experiment, without the light of

past experience upon his pathway, and

this he can only obtain by a passage through the literary institutions of the country, where the results of the labors

of the learned for ages are collected together and made accessible to the student. To attempt a prosecution of the study of science independent of the

knowledge which exists already, would

I be like going back to the earliest ages

for light in the undeveloped arts of mechanism. We are not so independent of the past as we sometimes incline to consider ourselves. There is scarcely a valuable discovery of modern times but has borrowed something of its proportions or utility f;om the iniud of antiquity. Among the inhmued ruins of Pompeii and Heiculaneum, a v.ist multitude of artificial curosilies hae recently been discovered, among which are implements of surgery onoin particular was found, upon companion with a very late invention in Paris, to be nee.ih like it, and a still later improvement in London to be exactly the same.. Here

we have the result of the labors of two of the most enlightened kingdoms on

earth; and what docs it prove? Why, simply that they have come to the science of a people who have slept for almost two thousand years in an unknown grave. When the entire tomb of Vesuvius shall be broken and explored there is little doubt thai many more of our modern discoveries will find their exact Pompeiian and llercula'ieum prototypes. These facts cannot fail to portray clearly the importance of a study of the past experiments of human life, both as a source of profit and actual saving of time, labor, and expense.

I hat the farmer, by a scientific cul tivation of his land, can increase lo a ve

ry great extent its productions, there does rot exist a rational doubt. And that the time is coming when there will be actual necesity for this increase ol

production, there is every possible appearance. It is therefore not only wise

and expedient to commence or rather carry on now this improvement in hus

bandry, but it is a high duty which is owed already to posterity, in considera

tion ofall the blessings which past ages have bequeathed to us.

Permit us, therefore, in our humble

way, lo impress upon tlic minus ot llie farmers the very great usefulness of education to their children: Give your sons and daughters not the less educa

tion because you design them for rural life and agricultural pursuits. If you are able, educate them they will find abundant employment for all their science though their farms he located in the deep wilderness of the west; though they be cast amid barren rocks and sterile sand plains, science will aid them theie. Not a blade of grass nor spear of grain but will grow better under the cultiva-

lion ol intellectual care. lota nower

but will show beauties to the eye of science which the vulgar world knows not of. Not a vine but rears finer and produces more where educated hands superintend its growth. In short, all nature is beautified, improved and bettered where the cultivator is no stranger

lo its properties and the science of its

developments. Farmers, give your children educa

lion. It is the only earthly inheritance you can bequeath them that is beyond

the reach of accident. All other hu

man property is constantly changing

and transitory. Science is not transfer

goods, negotiable; it is firm and will be

A poor West India Negro employed as a domestic in the house of his master who had purchased him, having bought a trifling article of a fellow negro, who had procured it by clandestine means, was detected with the property about him, and therefore ordered by his master to be severely whipped. After he had received the punishment, he said to the officer who had indicted it, "why you no flog white man?"' "So we do," answered the officer, when they buy stolen goods knowing them to be stolen.
