OLD GRIMES' COW. Old Grimes'1 Cow is still alive, Anil feeds upon the srrern ; But time around her horn hus wound Full many a ring, I veen.

Her color's of deep brimllo hue, Her horns are. silver white, Frojectinj; forward from the head And turning to the right. F.ach morn she leaves old Grimeyard, Bui's hack at evening sun ; When lrv, she walk down to f ie brook, And drinks ur.til she's done. Her milki' always rather whiie, And as rich as cream, some think ; It's rpry ood to put in tea. And some folks say to drink. Cut Grimes' Crrr i? very old, And soon no mr.ro will ho; That milk she gave, and upright walk. Attests this poetry. IWCKIili AS' v. ' From the Maine Fanner. "WHAT rAU?Il.IIS MAY nr.. Mr. Holmes: Your interesting correspondent, "J. H. J.," undcrthe above title, in the last l armer, lavs down three distinct propositions, showing in substance that farmers may be the most learned, and the most influential class of men in the world. Under each proposition he has adduced several good reasons in support of them, and 1 can most cheerfully assent to all that he has said lpon the subject. But while 1 am so ready to give in my adhesion : to his doctrine, I am inclined to think he will find it not an easy task to induce 'any' considerable portion ot them to carry out in ' practice what he has so correctly laid down in theory. The occupation of a farmer certainly requires the ''most vigorous exercise tif the physical powers cf the body," and if you cannot induce a man to adopt that system of labor, which shall render the exercise of these powers pro ductive of the greatest amount of ultimate good, you can hardly expect to j Convince him, that he may become one of the most learned and influential rneri in the world. If I may bs permitted to advance an opinion,' I will say that, judging from daily observation, it would seem that many believe the exercise of mental and physical powers have no connection in the business of husbandry, that our fathers and grandfathers thought all that was necessary to think upon the subject, and that nothing remains for us to do but work, work, work, without 'eVen thinking that we have power to 111111. Therefore, if we would lay a "firm basis on which to build up their minds in wisdom and knowledge,"' we must first convince them that the course purlued by out fathers and grandfathers in relation tb husbandry, is by no means uic uesi course. Convince them that in general a 'small farm is better than a large one. Convince them that a little well tilled, is better titan much half tilled. Conrince them that two loads of ma- ' hure is better than one, and every load judiciously applied is belter than asilTer dollar. Convince thern that three good cow9 are better than a half a dozen poor ones, and so of all other slock. Convince them that raising their own bread stuff and a little to sell, is far better than "going to New York to mill' Convince them that two blades of grass may easily be made to grow, where only one grew before. Convince them that experiment is ' the mother of improvement, and improvement the true source of wealth. Convince them of these simple truths, and induce them to practice accordingly, and the work is done. You will then bring mind and body to act in unison. You will elevate the 'husbandman to his naturr.l sphere in the scale of efcistcncCi YoU will place fTim in the road to higher eminence. He will think for himself, he will be ' learned, he will be Wise, he will be Wealthy and inilucnti.il. AN AFFECTING INCIDENT, Is thus related in the Newburyport 'Herald: A discourse was delivered on Wednesday evening in the Pleasant Street Church, before the society for the relief of aged Females by Rev. Mr. Stevens, of Boston. Prayets were offered by the Rev. Mr. Wiliam, of this town. The annual report of the .Society was read, and a collection taken up ' in aid of the funds of the society. The discourse of Mr. Stevens, was a production, glowing with warm and elevated feeling, chaste and energetic in 'language, and fully sustained the reputation which had preceded him here. in concluding his remarks, Mr. Stevens said, he would relate a part of the history of a family in Philadelphia, with which be was intimately arqainted. It consisted of the parents and foui children. The husband had been jo an employment which enabled him

to maintain his family comfortably and lay by something for his old age. In the midst of usefulness he was feizod

with a consumption, and during a pro tracted illness, the little estate which he had acquired, was chiefly expended. Alter his death the mother talked herself to support her little family. Niirht I after night she. was engaged in laboring with her needle for their support, the i children sotini by lior side endeavoring to comfort and encourage her. Her I arduous exertion shortly brought on the (he same disease v. Licit had taken a--.vay her husband. The support of the family was thus entirely cut off. At this crisis, the oldest boy, then not over 7 years of age, went frorti door to door begging for some employment. tO IvPPH iho firollir V,m ct'i ri'lt i All ' ! Those upon whom he thus called, were too busy to listen to the story of a child, f rinally, b" dint of pei severance he suej ceeded in obtaining a situation in the jGlobe Cctton Mill, in Philadelphia, receiving for his service 75 cents per week. lie succeeded in getting a younger brother into the same establishment who was paid 50 cents per week. Their united wages .$'1,25 per week served to sustain the sick mother and the family. Things went on this way for some time. The mother was hastening to ihc end of her earthly career. None interested themselves in the fate of these obscure individuals. Their neighbors were a vicious, degraded people as poor as themselves. For a long period roasted potatoes were their only food -and the small pieces of wood which they could collect in the street their only fuel. Finally, a female who had been a bridesmnde to the mother heard of her distress and sought her out. Her assist ance and personal services were freely given but alas' it was now too late she could but smooth the pillow of death. The mother was laid in her grave by the side of her husband, the children were left orphans. The kind lady remained by, disposed of what little furniture was left, and obtained situations for the remnant of his afflicted family. Their prospects began to assume n brighter hue. At their meeting at the end of the year, they could say that the past year had been more prosperous than "any before it. Finally an opening was made for the cider boy in the christian ministry and that boy, said Mr. Stevens is tlx individual zchich 7io:i! addresses you. We have rarely witnessed a more powerful effect than the announcement of this fact produced. It was aslhough an electric shock had gone through the whole audience. So entirely unprepared were the assembly for such a termination, so completely had their sympathies been given to the sufferers, who they ha:l supposed wc;e at that time many miles distant, thai the declaration that one, who had passed through the scenes in which their feelings had been so strongly enlisted, 8tcod before them, was unexpected and startling in the highest degree. Independence of the Farmer. The merchant or manufacturer may be robbed of the reward of his labor by the changes of the foreign or domestic market, entirely beyond his control, and may wind up a year in which he had done every thing which intelligence and industry could do to insure success, not only without profit, but often with an actual diminution of capital. The strong arm ot mechanic industry may be enfeebled or paralyzed by the prostration oi those manufacturing or commercial interests to whose existence it so essentially contributes, and on whom in turn it so essentially depends. Rut what has the intelligent and industrious farmer to fear? His capital is invested in the solid ground ; he draws on a fund, which, from time immemorial has never failed to honor all just demands; his profits may be diminished indeed, but never wholly suspended-, his success depends on no mere earthly guar antee, dui on the assurance of that great and beneficent Rcing, who has declared that while the earth is underneath, seed time and harvest shall not cease. YANhn: Thick. Undo Kben,or Uncle Kb, as we used to call him, among a lot of good qualities, had a failing lie. did love good li-juor, but such was the state of his credit, that no one would trust him. Ie therefore one day, resorted to a trick, to answer the great desire of his appetite. He took two bottles, put a quart of water in one of them, put one of them in each pocket and started for the store. Til take a quart of your rum,1 said Uncle Kb, as he placed the empty bottle on the counter. The rum was put up, and (lie bottle icplaced in his pocket, when Uncle Kb pulled from his purse what

at a distance might seem a quarter of a dollar, 'This is nothing but tin, Uncle Kb,1 said the trader. 'Kb, scoundrel, it's a quarter,' said Uncle Kb. Mfs tin,1 said the trader, 'I shant take it.' 'It's all I've got.' 'Very well, you can't have the rum.' Uncle Kb, without much demurring, pulled from his pocket the quart of water. The trader took it, poured it into his rum barrel, and off walked Uncle Kb. chuckling. A Tight So.uei:zf.. "Come here, my lad," said an attorney to a boy about nine years of age. The boy willingly came, and asked, "What case is to be tried next?'' "A case between the Pope and the Devil; which do you think will gain the action?"' answered the attorney. "I guess twill be a pretty tight squeeze, the Pope has the most money, but the Devil has the most lawyers,"' replied the hoy. Hard Times. An old lady was complaining a few days ago in the market, of the excessive high price of provisions. '-It is not only meat that is so enormously dear,'' said she, "but I cannot obtain flour for a pudding for less than double the usual price, and they do not make the eggs half so large as they used to be!"' 'Will you lend father your newspaper, sir? he only justs wants to read it!' . 'Yes, my boy; and ask him to lend me his dinner I only just want to eat it!'

How to c;f.t a Fk.ut out of Tin: Indians. A few days ago, a gentleman was lamenting in the presence of Gen. Jackson the difficulty of bringing the Indians to a battle. "Let them find out where their squaws and papooses are, and make to that point,' said the General, "and they will have a fight soon enough." Half and Half. A paper is said to be published in New Orleans, one half of which is in French, that part in favor of Judge White for President. while the English half goes strongly for Vanhuren and Johnson. If a lie is told in Knglish, it is contradicted in French, and vice versa. This is what some would call carrying candidates on both shoulders. Bali. Trans. Wixgkd ijAF LOON. The New York Sun states that or.e of the students in the New York University has invented an eliptical air balloon, curiously con structed with revolving wings, which act by means of a lever and steel spring. If the hopes of the inventor are realized, rail roads and locomotives will be "done tin." In marriage, prefer a person before vcalth, virtue before beauty, and the mind before the body; then you have a wife, a friend, and a companion. Csntenual Nuttials. Mr. John Hodge, a venerable bachelor, who fought at Draddock's defeat: who served through the war of the Revolution, and who is little over one hundred and two years of age, was married lately in Columbia county,Georgia, to a buxom young lady of forty, named Klizabeth liaily. It is impossible to say what feeling impelled Mr. John Hodge to so youthful an indiscretion; but the world will, we hope, as we do, join fer vently in wishing him and the object of his young love, a happy honey moon and a pleasant progeny of prattlers to soften his descent into the vale of years, if he should live to grow old.
