THE FARMERS SONG


THE FARMERS SONG.
envy not the mighty king
Upon the splendid throne-
Nor crave his glttering diadcm,
Nor wish his power mine Own.
For though his wealth and power be cr,r.,
And round him thousands bow
In reverenee--in my Low estate,
More solid peace know.
envy not the miser-he
May tell his treasure DER
May heaps on heaps around him SEE.
And toll and sigh for more;
10 scorn his narrow, .oriid soul.
Repaeioas aud unjust,
Nor bow beneath the base central
VI empty giidcd dust.
LEI Warriors mount fame's giddy height,
Gain gior, . gallant need
But calm, collected in the fixhf.
Where thousands round them bleed:
envy not their victor wreath.
Their couragc nor their fame,
Their laureis are Aecting breath.
Their glory but name.
Ny wants arc few and well sup,I;ea
by my productive fieids,
1 court no luxuries beside
save what contentment yielis.
More pure enjoyment lAbour 1iyes
Than wealth or fame can bring,
And ne is happier Who lives
a farmer than king.

DESTRUCTION OF TREES.


The noble Avenue of Trees along the Bran
DIVINE walk which adorn the main entrance
to our city, and have been the admiration of
strangers, and highly priced by our own citi-
zens, are about to be sacrihced-nay the
work of destruction has commenced, and a
strong and decided expression of disapproba-
ton against the measure can alone save them!
There are few of our citizens, male or female,
but have not felt the advantage of their shade
in protection from the noon day sun, or enjoy
ed their beauties in moonlight walk to the
banks of the Brandywine, and it is presumed
there are few of this number that would wit
ness their destruction without great regret, or
that will not raise their voices for their pro-
Itection!-A remonstrance addressed to our
Honorable Council is now in circulation for
signatures, and understand will be publish
ed to day, which clearly states Sthe case and
to which the.attenton ofmy fellow citizens is
invited
l wish however through the medium of
your paper to call attention to some matters
connected with this business which conceive
of great importance. If am correctly in
formed the purchase of 5000 feet of curbing,
Amounting to t7oeive hundred dollars, was
made by one member of the Council and the
Street Commissioner, without the Council
being consulted on that particular purchase,
and while the matter was referred to COM
mittee of which that individual was one.
Again admitting curbing to be necessary,
what motive would land the stone at the most
. remote wharf on the Christiana, when the

were to be used, was within one hun

The foreign intelligence by the last ar

The foreign intelligence by the last ar
rival, is of more than usual interest. The
triumphant progress of Don Pedro's arms,
both by sea and land, and still more the spir-
it of disaffection manifested by Don Miguels
eropps in the Algarves, indicate speedy
termination to the i'll gotten and worse used
power Of this modern tyrant. We know not
What benefits the reign of Don Pedro, or OF
his daughter Donna Maria, may bring to
Portugal-but any substitute for its present
pcrfidious and cruel tyrant, will be bless
ing to that country. The triumph of Don
Pedro will be hailed with pleasure by the
friends of humanity, because it opens the
doors, and liberates the victims now incar.
cerated in the dungeons of Lisbon. This is
"a contamination devoutly to be wished for,
the anticipation Of which ought to enlist oil
the side of Don Pedro, the sympathies ant
good wishes of the friends of freedom and hu
nanity throughout the world.
