From the deep heart of all thii land is ourdin, Like the wierd voice of Fate, the tramp of men; And r.nw, where surrlcd ranks are fast emerin, Mountain-pap, and glen, And n!opc, and field, and plain, and ptream, are glistening With point) of steel, and banners flaun ting high ; And the awed world stands looking on, and listening! MiJst 't all, a cry Steals up, in the begiuning, like a murmur From a high mountain, or the distant eea, Dut swelling to a blast: "Oh, human brothers, Help us! we would be men.' we would be FREE?" II. On the broad pae that bears the varied ? record Of every man's experience, this is found: That creat accomplishments, or sure sue" cesses. Never yet havecrown'd Him who baa faltered in his own conviction", By varying and opposing counsels toss'd, Until, 'mid multitudinous contradictions. Truth and Right were lost; Dut calm, cool, cautious and determined action, When comes the pressing hour that'? big with fate, Fixes iU i repression on the Individual, Exalts, expands and magnifies the State. III. From out the dusk of far-receding centuries, One clear, prophetic voice of warning calls 'Tis this, that in the hour of trust and trial. He who falters, falls! Oh, hearken to it, then to-day who holdOt In thy one hand a nation's warning fate; And be thou truest of the true and boldest Of the bold! We wait We wait thy peeplc patient, but expectant; And the far nations, tip-toe 5tmd njrnpe. Whilst thou dost solve the problem of the present, And giv'st the future certaintv and shape! Vv'. D. G.

All the food that animals cm eat, will not keep them healthy or fat in Winter, if they are exposed to the cold rains and freezing winds of a climate like ours. 4th. Many cows and sheep die every year from be;P without shelter in winter. The value of dornf?tir animals that have dieJ in Indiana, during the I;i?t five years, from being thus exposed, amo'ints to more than five hundred thousand dollars. There are other thing that might Le named ; hut, fth And most importaut ol all: when cattle are not fed under heiter, all the manure is wasteH; the land is rapidly exhausted, and in a few years is so poor tint the crop no longer pays the expense of raising it. I have noticed that, in such cases, the crops and the cattle, the farm and the farmer, all degenerate together. Written fur the Journal. INK-LINGS. BY BRAN WELL IIAWORTII. As the first gift of God to man was life, so it becomes man's first duty to learn how to preserve it; after that, how to enjoy it. How strange it is that a matter so fraught with importance should have been so utterly neglected. Mar; has hitherto acted as if life was governed bv no fixed laws ; as if he had accepted it from some inflexible necessity, and would be permitted to use it for some uncertain, but fixed, period, whirh had boen set by the whim of some capricious deity, and that, by no act ot his own, could

He has acted under the mistaken idea that he sets the most out of life who drains its cup to the very dregs. He has studied nothing beyond the means of present enjoyment, and has thrown away, as unworthy of thought, those lesons that would rnve hught him the laws govern i in; Iiis animal existence.

our want of confermitv to them, and then impiously charge the homicidi upon Almighty God. But my object was only to speak of the connection between body ai:d mind. The ancient philosophers thought the heart to be the center of intellect; science has, however, located it in the brain. Its locality 3 immaterial. It requires no metaphysician to discover that mind is the result of physical development. Mind and matter are intimately related indhsohibly blended, the one with the other. An injury to the one correspondingly impnirs the other. A vigorous physical condition perfect health i.-s es sential to the attainment of anv J considerable degree ot mental excellence. ' Good digestion is indispensable to good and correct thinking." An unhealthy man may exhibit a kind of spasmodic talent, but it no more compares with that of a healthy man th?n the hectic flush upon the cheek of the consumptive compares with the crimson rcse upon the face of health itself. Dr. Johnson says, '-Drink beer and you will think beer." Fever produces wild and extravagant thought; consumption melancholy ones, and rheumatism or tooth-ache those that are bitter and malignant. Be healthy if you ld think healthilv. Having Lh e thjns in view, Herbert Spencer very truthfully says "that the first requisite to success in life is to learn to be a good animal." With hin let me say, learn to be a good animal.

THE DEVIL IS AX ASS. ... . , ; But it has been reserved for ui to see the complete stultification of the evil one. He never had a fairer field for his operations than this country afforded, and he was among the very first to occupy it; he came the time year with the Puritans; he lost no time, he insinuated himself into the social relations of the people, he wormed himself into the coy-

persons with his sdime, he fasci nated statesmen with his charmed eyes and glittering scales, he captivated them with his glozing tongue; set guilelessly he did it; so ingeniously, with such plausible reasoning, that before we were aware of his designs, he had gained a political, social, and even moral supremacy. He had corrupted nearly all the public men. he had the'ear of the Executive, he stutled the ballot-box; there seemed to be no reiioa why, with prudent management,, he should not become the preponderating force in the nation, vh he should not at lat become the one force; and be wcuhl havedone it it he hal not outwitted nimelf, if he had not incontinently showed his hand. Good men did next to nothing. God maintained his awful reserve. There wn' a wonderful, a prodigious -Hem e on the part ot all who might have spoken; the two or. three voices that were raised were d.owncd forthwith in the popular lamor, or smothered by the popular indifference. It was as if the moral world stood still to see the self-conviction of evil. Underground, swift and sure, bur-, rowed the old serpent; now and then showing his head in some outrage on civilization, .but straightway dq wing it in again; so cunning, so wary, so wUe, so deep, so expert in covering his track, that none thought to scotch him. It was the wiliest game up to a certain point, and then it was the craziest. Every masterstroke of policy was the best thing that could have been done for God. He ofTered a price for the head of Garrison, and made Garrison known; he insulted Dr. Channing, and startled Phillips to his feet; he mobbed Phillips, and raised Ujj anti-slavery orators by the score; he agonized to get the Fugitive Slave law, and crested the Republican party; he . broke down the Missouri Com promise, and let the angel of the North into his dominions; he invaded Kansas, and unearthed John Brown; he hung John Brown, and multiplied avengers by the thousand. At Sumter, he was idiot enough tt shock the last remaining sentiment of Notthern honor. Hell should have deposed him forthat blunder. Pandemonium Fnould have excommunicated him for such a piece of nonsense; the . fiends should have put the zany's cap on his head. Still there was another chance; the last hour had not come. He might still mutter the black Pater No.ster, and sited the h' pecritical tear, and retire to his cave for a new rehearsal of his part. Nobody wanted to I'ruise his head severely; most would have been triad to see it safely heltered in its hole many begged hit:: to draw it in. But the mad man, absurdly imputing this kind advice to fear, actually believed he had done a wise thing, and persisted. He raised tongue, he waved his scaly tail more fiercely than ever, he spit his venom in floods, until, in f!f defesne, the javelin of emancipation was driven into his heart. Slavery dies by it own hand; its worst enemie." have been its friends; Gov. Wise hurt it more than John Brown; Preston Brook dealt it more fatal blows than j Thus, my friendr, it ever i. s Tite arch-traitor is always taken jin his own trap: the lather of lies always trlls toomanv;the originjal murderer ends in suicide.
