Our illustrious traveller had pcihaps. never before held any persona! intercourse with a member of the persuasion whose votaries never voluntarily paid taxes to "tho man George, called King, by tho vain ones."' The 1 adv and gentlemen who were to attend the august visitants, had but feeble, ideas of the reception to be expected. It was sup

The royal carriage arrived at the lodge oi the paik, punctual to the appointed hour. No preparations appeared to have been made; no hostess or domestics stood ready to greet the euesls. The porter's bell was rung; he stepped forth deliberately, with his broad brimmed beaver on, .and unbendingly accosted the lord in waiting, with "What's thy will friend V This was almost unanswerable. "Surely," said the nobleman, "your lady is aware that her .Majesty go to your mistress, and say the Queen is here."' "No, truly,"' answered the man, "it needelh not, I have no mistress nor lady; but friend Rachel Ilills expecteth thine: walk in."' The Queen and Princess were hand

cd out, and walked up the avenue. At

the door of the house stood the plainly attired Rachel, who, without even a

curtcsv, but with a cheerful nod, said,

'How s thee do iiiend : 1 am ulad to

see thee and thy daughter. I wi

thee well! Rest and refresh thee and

thv people, before I show t'.iec my

grounds."' What could be said to such a person ? Some condescensions, were

attempted, implying that her Majesty

came, not onlv to view the park, but

lo testify her esteem for the society to which Mistress .Mills belonged. Cool

and unawea, she answered, ea, thou

art rijrht, there. The Friends are well

,Princcss Charlotte.) It was so evident that the Friend meant kindly, nay ref pectfiiUy, that offence could not be taken. She escorted her guests through her estate. The Princess Charlotte noticed in the hen house, a breed of poulliy hitherto unknown to her; and expressed it wish lo possess some of these rare fowls; imagining that Mrs. Mills would re

tard her wish as a law; but the Qua

keress quickly remarked, with her characteristic evasion: 'They are rare, as

thou sajest; but if any are to be pur

THE FAIUIO. If there, are. any who, in their daily avocations, can promise themselves re;tl enjo ment, it certainly is the farmer. True, his labor is hard; but not loo much so, to insure him good health. H hen he is at rest, nature is laboring (or him, and w hen he sleeps, he is secure in the arms of his Gad. Surrounded by the beauteous woiks of Nature, he enjoys the cool healihv breeze, in its original purity not having gathered in its wide and expanded scope the noxious exhalations of the filthy al!cs and streets, that are in towns and cities. His rest is not disturbed by th.e inquisitive wanderings of the midnight robber, nor the laud ha ha"s and savagelike yells of accustomed visitors of the grocery and the Cuifee House and when lie walks with leisure his beautiful

lanes and fields, he fears not the dirk or

other v. canons of the .assassin. Nay

peace, happiness, and tranquility, and numerous other blessings dwell with him. He knows but little of the trou

bles and difficulty w hich most other men

encounter, misfortune seldom crosses lus

ath, and .all changes of the age appeal'

lor his good.

The business of the farmer will nev

er become useless. Without him, we

cannot prosper. While the cunning

irlist is inventing labour saving machin

ery, for manufacturing many articles

pertaining to our wants and necessities, he never can substitute any source in

lieu of our mother earth, from which

we. can derive our sustenance; though machinery of different kinds is constant

ly invented which relieves the husband

man of a great deal of labour. The loss of the farmer, when one befalls him, is nothing compared with those generally met with by the mer

chant, the mechanic, the manufacturer, and others engaged in more uncertain pursuits. The burningof cities, of towns, of manufactories, of workshops and

the shipwreck of vessels, the burning

and sinking oi steam boats seldom ever

Th.e consequence of all t'ais is two

i:dl'cation ixiissknsikle to Perhaps there is no higher duly or more imperative obligation upon the Amei ioan people, than to enlighten the public mind and elevate its character. Our fate as a free nation hangs on the virtue and intelligence of the American people. While these remain and are cherished, we .arc safe, but when

they are neglected and lost, our char-' acter its a people and our fate as a nation may be read in the fate of these nations where the light of civil liberty was lost amid the darkness of ignorance and superstition. As yet, virtue and intelligence predominate in the people. We are titc freest and happiest nation on the earth. The rude sway of despotism finds no place here. We are our own governors, make our own

laws, mould our institutions .and regu

late our conduct at our will. Every one feels that he has a part to act and

ii responsibility to hear. Every great

and important measure iidecling the interests of individuals or the nation, is committed to the public mind, is tried at the bar of public opinion, and finds its sanction or condemnation there. They mould and fashion it to their own will and direct it at their pleasure. And

while virtue remains, enabling them lo respect their rights, and intelligence to

appreciate their privileges, this is the

wisest policy of government, and ihc

people the saflest depositories of polit

ical power. No art or intrigue or dem

agogucs can warp the judgement of an

intelligent people, or escape the vigi

Some youag ladies were lately on a visit at the house of .airs. Womack, of Bedford county, Va. It seems that, when left to themselves, one of the young hidies began to play with a gun, supposing it not loaded. Mis Womack said to her: "Shoot me." The huiv replied,"! wi;!, as you are so bad;"' and taking aim at tiie g'ul, pulled the trigger, when the gun went off. and its contents lodged in the body of the young lady. The lady who shot 3Iiss W. has not since been in her right mind, ami constantly has fits. It is supposed she will not live. The mother of the voting fiiiy, who was of sedate and religious habits, had just retired from the gay scene. It must have been .awful, when she was suddenly routed from her reflet lions by the report of a gun, and the shrieks of the company, to find that the fust tiling presenied lo her view was her lovely daughter prostrate, weltering in blood, and her eyes immovably fixed in death.
