The sentiments expressed by Bolivar in his
address to the Republic of Colombia are so
patriotic and striking, that we regret the Bal

The Farmers HOhday.

There are to be Cattle Shows and
Exhibitions Of Manufactures, in each of
the six counties Of New-Hampshire,
during the present month The Con-
cord Patriot, in noticing these exnibi-
tons, says Some persons, among
them some good farmers, doubt the ben
eicial effects of the exertions and pre-
miums of Agricultural Societies-they
think it is better to go on in the old
way, TO pursue the track travelled by
their great-grand-fathers, than to waste
our time and money en- what they are
pleased to term idle experiments p
We do not doubt that some experiments
are made without Improvement but if
one in ten, or even one in a hundred
succeeds, and some radical errour in
husbandry be thereby corrected, is not
the corresponding benefit of sufficient
value to Warrant so many trials
8 The same persons tell us, it is no
advantage to farmers generally, that
one man raises fine OK, another val
liable horse-a third, one hundred bush
els of corn to the acre-that one ram
ufactuFes suPeriour piece Of bread
cloth, a fine piece Of flannel, or carpet
ing,. &c. All these fine and grand things
are produced, they say, at great ex-
pense, We answer, that although their
position may be partially true, yet the

produces spirit of emulation among
a whole neighbourhood, town, and
perhaps by exhibition may awaken. the
spirit of whole county. The effect
OF this emulation is, shat the products
in that one article, so far as this inhu-
ence extends, are improved. He must
indeed be void Of all ambition who can
see his neighbour raise twice the guam
tity of hay or grain on an acre, and not
strive TO make his own hay and grain
better-he must be poor husband who
can see his neighbours wife manulac-
ture a coat equal to superfne British
broadcloth, and not encourage his own
wife to manufacture for himself bet
ter than coarse linsy-woolsey.
"We might, if we had time and room,
in this way answer other objections that
are urged against agricultural societies.
But every newspaper that comes to
hand evincea that these objections can
not resist the general impetus. Far
mers will raise fine oxen, and great
crops-farmers' wives will manufacture
cloths that odtvie in fneness and tex
ture the 81 best British,'' and make but
ter and cheese better than that brought
{" over sea; ~ and, what is not less graf
flying, they will have an annual holiday
to exhibit them.o

From q Pleasures Of Religion an Anreri

OR does ambition prompt thy restless sighs
DO fame and power attract thy soaring eye:
Say, wuuld'st thou dare TO mount a totterino
throne
Pants thy fond heart to call world thine own !?
Take liistory's volume-read the annals there,
or aching crown'd heads-and of s scepter'd
care.n
To paint each moumful story to our eyes,
Would check aspiring wishes as they rise.
Arrest ambition in her mad career,
Bid envy melt in PHYS softest tear.
Were thine throne, It's pleasures and its
pride
Oh yet accept this sweet, this angel guide;
her smile would add new gloriss to thy crown,
And cheer thy soul, though all the world
should trown.
twas this SUSTAINED thee in each trying scene,
And form'd thy triumph, lovely martyr
Queen =
1t was Religion taught thy youthful heart
With life, with empire, and with love to part |;
Twas not ambition thy pure heart beguil'd,
All how could Mary blame the duteous child !!
In wrath she hurl'd the fair usurper down.
Tore from her placid brow her transient
crown;
With vengeful heart her punishment decreed,
And doom'd the sweet Philosopher to bleed
She with calm mind receiy'd her doom un-
mov'd,
And sufer'd only in the friends she how'd;
Ier conscious soul defy'd tYrant's irown,
Looked to the skies, aud saw brighter crown.

malevolent old dramatists, " have six
senses, that is, seeing, hearing, tattling,

There are very few men that know
