FIRST MORNING IN SPRING.

FIRST MORNING IN SPRING.
Break from your chains, we lingering stream
Rise, blossoms from your wintry dreams,
Drear fields, your robes Of verdure take,
Birds, from your trance Of silence wake,
Glad trees, resume your lofty crown,
Shrubs, DER the mirror brooks bend down,
Bland zePhyrs, wheresoe'er you stray,
The wind doth call yen--haste away!
Thou too, my soul, with quickened force,
Pursue thy bricf, thy measured course;
With grateful zeal each power employ,
Catch yigor from Creations joy,
Stamp Love to God, and Love to man,
More deeply on thy shortening span,
And still with added patience bear
Thy crown Of thorns; thy lot Of care.
But Spring with tardy step appears,
Chill is her eye, and dim with tears;
Fast are the founts in letters bound,
The flower gems sink within the ground,
Where are the warblers of the SKYE
! ask, and angry blasts reply.
Il is not thus in heavenly bowers;
Nor ice-bonnd rills, nor dropping flowers,
Nor silent harp, nor folded wing,
Invade that everlasting Spring,
Toward which we turn with wishfi,l tear.
While pilgrims in this wintry sphere.

DU BUQUE VISITOR.

/ The FARMER.-Happiness seems to
have fixed her seat in rural scenes.
The spacious hall, the lighted assem-
Ibly, the splendid equipage, and the
Ipomp of courts, do not soothe and en-
terrain the mind of man in any degree,
like the verdant plain, the enamelled
mead, the fragrant grove, melodious
birds, the sports of beasts, the azure
sky, and the starry heavens.
It's undoubtedly a fact, that in pro-
portion to our population, too many
leave the occupation Of the agricultur-
list, for. other employments. If this
arise from its being considered that the
employment of the farmer is not res
pcctable, it is very great mistake
Every thing is honorable, which is
useful and virtuous. This is an employ
ment instituted by God himself, and
by him peculiarly owned and best
It's that on which every thing depends.
True, it is laborious; but then labor
brings health, and health is the founda-
ton Of the farmer, is the condition of
independence. His little dominion is
his own, and he is not at the mercy of
the public within and caprice. 1t is not
necessarily the case, in. this happy
country especially, that the farmer
must be a stupid Ignorant man. He is
taught in his youth the first rudiments
Of education, and he has many spare
hours to read. Inthe heat of the sum-
mer noon, and by the long winter eve
ming fire. he has much time for his
books, and in this country they are
placed within the reach of all.

CoNsc1ENcE.-An Indian being a.
mong his white ncighbors, asked for ,
little tobacco to smoke; one of them
having some loose in his pocket, gave
him a handful. THE following day the
Indian came back inquiring Of the do
nor, sayinghe had found quarter ool-
tar among the tobacco. Being told it
was given him, he might keep it, he
answered, pointing to his breast, ri got
good and bad man here-and the good
man says it ant mine, must return Il
to the owner. The bad man say that.
why he give it to you, and it is your
own; the good man say that not right.
the tobacco is yours, not the money:
the bad man say, never mind, you cot
1T, go buy some dram; the good man
say no, no, you must not do SO; | don't
know what to do, I think | 90 sleep.

HINTS FOR HEALrH.-Persdhs i

HINTS FOR HEALTH.-Persdhs in
health, should never, under any circum-
stances, Atake medicine. The custom
which prevails in some families, of ad-
ministering physic in the spring and
fall to prevent the attacks of disease, is
prcposterous in the extreme. The on
ly sure safeguards are Temperance in
eating and drinking, and carefully a.
dapting the clothing to the changes Of
the atmosphere. Persons in the vicin-
ity of contagious disorders, must care
fully attend to these prescriptions, and
by proper exercise, cheerful recreation,
and strictregardto cleanliness, preserve
the mind in state of cl1eerfulness and
activity. It is absolutely necessary for
those visiting warm climates to abstain
entirely from the use of spirituous IL
quors. The great cause of the morta-
lily among our scamen visiting the
West India ports, may be traced to the
prevailing use Of liquors, which heat
the blood and induce fevers in those
warm climates. One sick person only
should occupy the same apartment
