THE FARMER.

OF oil pursuits by man invented,
The ploughman is the best contsntsd;
His calling's good, his profits high,
And on his labors all rely,
Mechanics all by him are fed;
Of him the merchants seek their bread,
His hands give meat to every thing,
Up from the beggar to the king;
The milk and hoaey, corn and wheat,
Are By his labors made complete;
Our clothes from him must FIRST arise,
TO deck The fap or dress the wise;
We then BY vs,e may justly state,
The ploughman ranks amons The great,
More independent than them all
Tha, dwell upon This earthly ball.
All hail, ye farmers, young and old;
Push on your ploughs with courage bold;
Your wealth arises from your clod,
Your independence from your God.
1f,hen tho plough supports the nation,
And men of rank III every station,
Let Kings 10 Farmers make bow,
And every man procure plough.

A FEW WORDS TO YOUNG MEN.

It is one ofthe glories of the highly
favored land in which we live, that the
door is opened to the humblest and
poorest Of her sons to become useful
and respectable in society. The poor
may become rich, and the most ig-
norant may obtain such an education
as will fit them for useful business and
consequent responsibility. There is
not farmers son, nor an apprenticed
mechanic, but what may, by self inn
provement and application, store his
mind by useful reading to become both
useful and respectable in society. One
hour a day employed in reading will,
in the course Of a few years. enable
him to stand side by side, with one half
Of his fellow men who have had the
best opportunities of receiving an or
binary, if not liberal education. How
many young men of good natural tai
EMS have been neglected by their par
ents or guardians in regard to their
education. They have scarcely had
the rudiments of their mother tongue;
but might, by little application, SUR
mount all these adverse circumstances,
and become ornaments to the state or
the church. washed to these remarks,
by referring to the circumstances of one
Of the most eminent men in the west,
who, when he was thirty years Of age,
did not know the alphabet. He made
his liviugby hard daily labor. At that
period Of life, he commenced by learn
ing the A. B. G. He employed his
evenings in reading papers then he
procured few books, and in few
years he had little library Of books.
He has been member Of Congress
for number of years, and filled that
station with honor and credit, and not
long ago he was governor of one of the
western states Nor has he been un-
worthy of such trust, as is frequent
ly the case; but on the contrary, he is
eminently qualified for it, and his
high standing in the halls Of legislation
has never been questioned, having been
one Of its most eloquent and efficient
members.
tits true, that not every one will be
able to become eminent, but every
one may by improving his talents, do
much towards his own advancement
in intellectual improvement. IT young

THE BUTTERFLY.

To be born with the fresh breath Of Spring,
To die with the death Of the rose,
To ride on tho zephyr's bright wing,
Where the blue food oflight ever flows

To baSk in the azure so bright,
To float in all sunshiny hours
Like breath 10 the confines ofiight-
To live while the suns beanins ray
Smiles bright DER the Aow'rsts that bloom,
To die when the flower fades away =
This, this is the hutteyfy's doom!
