FEAR OF DEATH.

Courage is incompatible with fear of death but
every villain fears death therefore villain can be
brave He may indeed possess the courage Of rat,
and fight with desperation when driven into corner.
If by craft and crime, successful adventurcr should
be enabled to usurp kingdom, and to command its
eginns there may be moments, when, like Richard
on the field Of Bosworth, or Napoleon on the plains
Of Marengo all must be st1ked; awful crisis when
if his throne be overturned, his scand must arise up
on its ruins Then indeed, though the cloud of battle
should lower his hopes while its iron hail is rafting
around him; the great coward will hardly fly to in
sure that death which he can only escape by facing.
Yet the glare of courage thus elected by danger,
where fear conquers fear is not to be compared to that
calm sunshine which constantly cheers and ulninates
The breast Of him who builds his confidence vrtuous
principle; it is rather the transient and evanescent
lightning of the storm, and which derives half its ius-
tire from the darkness that surrounds it.--Lacoa.

which surround him. by the superadded powers of

body into its original elements, and its temperance

hope full of Immortality, for the prospect of joyful
resurrection, and an entrance into that world wherein

CHAMOMILE.

A medical correspondent at Madrid has acquainted
friend in Ireland with astonishing effects of the
herb chamomile, in certain fammatory disorders Of
the eye, when every other remedy usually prescribed
had proved abortive. The following, among many
wherein the Doctor has been concerned, is men,
toned proof of the virtues of this salutary though
common herb.
Maria de Maros, daughter of master carpenter,
had for many years been afflicted with weeping eyes,
which discharged an acrimonious fluid, that brought
an almost total loss of sight Alternatives pre-
scribed to no purpose, nor could of mercury
procure the smallest alienation AT length he made
strong decoction of chamomile, boiled in cows
sweet milk with this the patient bathed her eyes
eral times day, as warm could be suffered without
uneasiness and in about five weeks her eyes
perfectly cured.-BoSton Medical Intetigencer.
To dread no eye, and to suspect no tongue, is the
great prerogave of innocence-an exemption granted
only to invarabe virtue. But guilt has always its hor-
rors and solicitudes and to make it yet more shame
full and detesabe it is doomed often to stand in awe
of those to whom nothing could give influence OF
weight but their power of betraying. -Rambler.

AGRICULTURE.

In order to disseminate extensively tho hume
rous advantages which flow from the deyelope-
.ment of new resources and valuable improvements
in the Agricultural World It Is reasonable 10 pre-
sumo that proper medium for the accumulation
and distribution of practical knowledge must
prove of the first importance. A Periodical Pub
lication devoted to these purposes if conducted
with spirit and industry, cannot prove otherwise
than eminently useful.
Under these impressions, the Publishers have
determined on offering TO the agricultural commu-
nifty HEFARMER'S MAGAZINE, as a reposi-
tory of useful information; satisfied they cannot
render to their country more valuable service, or
better contribute to It's permanent prosperity than
in subscribing, as they hope to do, It's agricultural
interests.
The leading feature of this publication will be
sustained BY our own ample resources, united tc
lie promised contributions of several AGNcULrU
AL SOCIETIES, and the assistance Of distinguish
d agriculurists, IN this and other states.
The LITERARY and SCIENTIFIC department will
ie conducted by gentleman heretofore editor Of
popular literary journal.
In furtherance of their views, the publishers So
icit original contributions on Agriculture, Hort
