THE MORTGAGED FARMS OF NEW
ENGLAND

The last Christian Examiner contains an ex-
celent article entitled The Morality of our
Political Situation" from which the following
extract is made. It contains truths too notu.
rious to be denied, and too solemn to be trifled
with
"Here is community, we are accustomed
to say, free, hourishng, and prosperous, beyond
example; there never was country in which
all men, from the highest to the lowest, from
the richest to the poorest, could be more inde-
pendent And yet, if we were to travel over
this same favored land, and were to inquire into
its real condition; if, not satisfied with fine
landscapes, and fourshing fields, and goodly
dwellings, and the appearance of well.clad citi-
zens, we were to inquire into the state of prop
erty, and the degree of real independence and
comfort that prevail, we should be astonished
at the appalling amount and distressing burden
of Pecunsry obligation. We should find an al.
most incredible proportion of the community
laboring under this load and pressure. Debt,
universal debt, would meet u.s. wherever we
turned ou- eyes, The farmer owes the trader ;
the mechanic owes for the raw material; the
trader owes the importer. In many districts
the country traders will testify that a consider.
able proportion of the debts contracted for what
are considered the necessaries oflife, lie unpaid
for two or three years,-yes, and they lie, in the
shape Of mortgages upon real estate. We have
Deen In some OF the most beautiful townships
in New England, and have been amazed, on in
quiry, to find that half of the farms in them
were under mortgage!
Now, there are several causes to be assigned,
doubtless, for this extraordinary state ofthings
but one distinct and prominent cause unques-
tionably is to be found in that state of political
equality which we are considering. It creates
large unproductive class, in the female mem.
bers Of innumerabe families in the country
The daughters Of our substantial farmers las
they are called) cannot go out to service it
would be degradation, as they would deem it.
Meanwhile the cheapness of the fabrics that are
sent out from our manufactures, has suppressed
ed the labors of the loom and the distaff: Spin
ming and knitting are obsolete tolls And the
laborS OF only one or two can contribute any
thing to the support ofthe family At the same
time, this non producing is by no means non.
consuming class,-as the bills of the merchant
show, to say nothing of that grosser part of the
account, which the granary and the cellar have
to render
1t is perfectly evident that farmers, with
moderate means, must 60 down under this bur-
den. They do go down by thousands. And
what is infinitely the most to be regretted, they
go down in character as they go down in prop.
erty. They lose heart and courage The
mortgage that lies heavily upon their estates,
lies heavily, as an incubus, upon their minds
They often sink under it, to Incidence, vice,
and ruin"

HOPKINTON SPRINGS.

THE Hopkinton Spring Hotel, is open for
u the reception of company for the present
season. Mr. and Mrs. NoRcRoss, managers o f
this establishment, tender their thanks, with
gratitude, for the liberal patronage hitherto
received, and assure all those who may visit
the Springs for health OF pleasure, that they
will use their exertions to promote their health
and happiness. They have made, and intend
to make further, Improvements in their accom-
modations. To those who intend visiting the
Springs for health, they beg leave to recon-
mend the months of May or June, while the
air is perfumed with the blossoms and the fresh
ness of spring.
The waters at these Springs were analysed
by the late DR.. Gorham. They have been
found beneficial in all scrofulous complaints,
in cases of debility, particularly of the stomach,
in some affections of the liver, dyspeptic and
rheumatic complaints, salt rheum, eruptions of
the skin, &c. &c. This place is retired, and
pleasantly situated about 80 miles west of Yos-
ton-about the same distance from Providence
and ID miles from Worcester.

THE ARK AND DOVE


" Tell me story, please my little girl
Lsped from her cradle. So bent me down,
And told her how it rain'd and rain'd, and rain -
Till all the flowers were covered, and the trees
Hid their tall heads, and where the houses stood,
And people dwelt,-a fearful deluge roll I'd -
Because the world was wicked, and refus'd
To heed the words of God. But one good man,
Who long had warn'd the sinful to repent.
Obey, and live taught by the voice of Heaven,
Had built an Ark, and thither with his wife
And children, turnd for safety. Two and two
OF beasts and birds and creeping things he took,
With food for all and when the tempest roar'd,
And the great fountains of the sky pour'd out
A ceaseless flood, till all beside were drown'd,-
They in their quiet vessel dwet secure
And so the mighty waters bare them up.
And DER the bosom of the deep they saiPd
For many days-But then gentle Dove
'Scap'd from the easement Of the Ark, and spread
Her lonely pinion DER that boundless wave.
All, all was desolation chipping nest,
Nor face of man, nor living thing she saw,
For all the people ofthe earth were drown'd,
Because of disobedience.-
Nought she spied,
Save wide, dark waters, and frowning sky
Nor found her weary foot place of rest.
So with leaf of olive in her mouth,
Sole fruit of her drear voyage, which, perchance
Upon some wrecking bilow foated by,
With dropping wing the peaceful Ark she sought
The righteous man that wandering Dove receivd
And to her mate restor'd, who with sad means
Had wondered at her ABSENCE
Then look'd
Upon the child, to see if her thought
Wearied with following mine. But her blue eye
Was glad listener, -and the eager breath
OF pleas'd attention curld her parted lips
And so | told her how the waters dried,-
And the green branches wav'd and the sweet buds
Came up in loveliness, and that meek Dove
Went forth to build her nest while thousand birds
Awoke their songs Of praise, and the tr'd Ark
Upon the breezy breast of Ararat
Repos'd land Noah with glad spirit rear'd
An altar TO his Cod
Since, -many time
When to her rest, ere evenings earliest star,
That little one is laid,-with earnest tone,
And pure cheek prest to mine, she fondly asks
" The DIRK and Doue."
Mothers can tell how of,
In the hearts eloquence the prayer goes up
From scaPd lip land tenderly hath blent
With the warm teaching of the sacred tale
A voiceless wish, that when that timid soul,
Now in the rosy mesh of infancy,
Fast bound shall dare the pillows Of the world,
Like that exploring Dove, and find no rest
A pierc'd, plying. redeeming Hand
May gently guide Il to the Ark Of Peace. II.
