The Good Farmer.

To constitute an accomplished farmer, one whc
can pursue the honorable occupation to which he
belongs, with honor, with profit and with pleasure
TO himself and with advantage to his country, the
following traits of character are almost indispensa
BILE:
l. He must be a man of integrity-one who
would scorn to defraud his land, his beasts, his
servants, or his eighbors-because, by doing ell
Their, he always Injuries himself, and often Injuries
his country.
2. He must be man of thought and reflection
for without these he can never know how to d.
rect his industry, or understand in what economy
consists,-and without we'll directed industry, and
wise and prudent economy, no farmer can pros
per.
3. He must undertand how to create and how
to preserve the fertility of his land-because with
out increasing and preserving the fertility of his
SOIL his labor will generally prove to be both un-
profitable to himself and injurious to his country.
A. He must know how to cultivate his land in
that manner which will enable him to obtain the
largest product it is capable of yielding with least
expense.
s. He must understand the best mode ofrearng
stock, and improving their breed.
6. He must have industry enough to reduce his
knowledge to practce-otherwise it can be of no
value either to himself or his country.
Z. He must we'll understand the distinction be-
tween true and false economy and rigidly practice
the former and avoid the latter-otherwise his la
Dor will only be thrown away.
8. He must be too wise to be vain and self-con-
ceted: otherwise he will be above improving in
his profession and besides, vanity and self-conceit
are disgusting and odious to others, and the most
certain and infallible proofs of weakened intellect
and corrupt heart.
9. He must possess benevolent temper and
iSpostion-because, without this, he can never
so use the product of his past labors as either to
promote his own or the happiness of others
10. He must be patriotic. This will induce nm
to seek to promote the public good IN which MS
own interest is involved
H. He must have too much honorable nue.

Where is Calvary i?

As was leaning over the railing at Gather
woods Panorama of Jerusalem few days since,
quite absorbed in contemplating the scenes of sur
passing interest there pictured to the eye, sran-
ger broke my revery by sudden but serious
question. "Will you tell me, sir" said he,
"where Calvary 2" I Twas startled at first by
the enquiry but recollecting myself Immediately
pointed out the spot was then gazing on it
and unused again. The view before US was full
of objects to fix the attention and awaken deep
emotions in the heart. The mosque of Omar
rose in eastern magnifcence of the noon day SUM-
Palaces and towers, ninarets and arches, stood
before the eye, and claimed and received the ad-
miration of every beholder. A mixed multitude
were with the spectators of the scene-bu
one spot was the center of universal attrac-
ton. Why did they not look at that troop of
wandering Arabs that formed prominent fea-
ture of the views Why did they pass by the gov
ernor of the city as he sat uxuriantly in his tent
dispensing justice to the gathered people Why
is that shocking sight overlooked where criminal

nature that would keep to itself the purest and
sweetest gifts of Heaven, to encounter the blasts
and the blights of a world where we see them,

happier region, WHERE WE SEE THEM NOT!

countenance, as she issued some instructions to
my new set of boatmen, felt my eyes fill with
prophetic tears. They were not perceived We

that the wounded subaltern was ever again thought
of by those who had succored him. Mrs. Jud-

To Henry Clay.--What is Liberty
Is it to take from others that
Which never can be thne'
To steal what never can be bought,
And call thy right divine?
Is it to bind thy brother down
With slavery's cursed chain,
Then on his sorrows cast frown
To aggravate his pain'
Is it to steal thy brother man
From child. from home, from wife
And Lynch the noble soul who can
Desire him happier life'
Is il to scourge his body sore
With loaded whip and LASH
Is it to feed upon his gore,
And sell his soul for cash.
Is it to torture him to death
With anguish keen and Slow
Or i'll please prolong his breath,
His misery and WOO
Is il to hide him from the word
OF life which God hath given,
Nor let him know there is Lord
Who over-rules in heaven!
And this is liberty they say!
How many lives it cost!
And then its champion, Henry CLAY,
Our glorious country's boast!!

How little do we appreciate mothers tender
ness while living? How needless are we, in
childhood, of all her anxieties and kindness But
when she is dead, and gone; when the cares and
GOODNESS of the world come whitening to our hearts,
when we learn how hard it is to find true sympa-
thy, how few love US for ourselves, how few will
befriend US in our misfortunes then it is we
think of the mother we have lost.

A SIsTER.-He who has never known sisters
kind ministratons, nor felt his heart waSming be-
meath her endearing smile and love-beaming eye,
has been unfortunate indeed. 1t is not to be
wondered if the fountains of pure feeling flow in
his bosom but sluggishly, OR if the gentler emo
tons of his nature be lost in the sterner attributes
of manhood.
That man has grown up among kind and af-
fectionate sisters" once heard lady of much
observation and experience remark.
And why do you think so2' said |.
Because of the rich development of all the
tenderer and more refined feelings of the heart.
which are so apparent in every word"
A sisters influence is felt, even in manhoods
later years; and the heart of him who has grown
cold in its chilling contact with the world, will
warm and thrill with pure enjoyment, as some in
cident awakes within him the soft tones and glad
melodies of his sisters voice. And he will turn
from purposes which warped and false philoso-
ply has reasoned into expediency, and even weep
for the gentler influences which moved him in his
earlier years.
