CULTURE OF THE MIND.
Mind makes the man
Want of it the fellow.

This motto, somewhat altered from Pope, has
peculiar bearing upon the agrIculturisls. The
farmer possesses all the privileges, and most of
the advantages, of other classes of the conmu-
nifty F.; and if he will improve his mind his IN
t1uence will be as potent, and his example as
salutary, as the Influence and example of any
other profession. The richest natural soil will
produce neither bread nor meat without culture
The highest natural gifts of Intellec: will not
profit the possessor, unless like the rich sol ley
are cultivated with the assiduiiy and care
Good culture not only improves the mind, and
fits it for high menln qualification AMI enjoy
nIent but it lightens the tolls, and greatly in
creoses the profits Of labor. Franklin owed his
fame, his fortune m! his usefulness, to his early
habits, he probably would have risen to neither
fame Eor fortune. Some minds, like some Soils
are naturally richer than others yet even APP
parently sterile minds, like infertie soils, may,
by good culture, be made to yield great returns
Let the young farmer, then, aspire to the high
| est honors of the nation, by underwriting 10 i'm
prove his intellectual faculties and if he does
not attain the guol OF his wishes, he may he sure
of greatly improving his condition, and Of bene-
firing others, provided always, that he is indus
trious and honest. However mental and ser
vile agricultural labor may have been consider
ed among The privileged classes Of Europe :;
| and however degrading it may yet be held by
The woultl-ba ariStocracy of America, it has
commanded the highest respects OF good men
in every age, and constituted, in our country
the favorite study and employment of Wash
ipgion, Jefferson, Madison il Monroe, aud
jackson; OF an Humphrey, a Livingston, Il
Shelby, an Armstrong, n Lowell, u Lincoln and
II great many others, whose names will stand out
in bold relief upon the Culture annals of our
country. Let, then, no young asprant for fame
and usefulness, shun rural employment, because
it does not feed his hopes of distinction, and let
no one, engaged in this employment forego the
opportunity, which his condition presents, Of
cullivating his mind,as the surest means of sink
ing the JtLlo,e, and rising to the dignity of the
man.-.4lbany Cnltivator.

lated in Barber's Historical Collections of Mas
sachnsetts; Being alone in the woods he was at
tackled by number black snakes, who accord
ing to their custom, commenced winding them
selves around his legs, body and arms, until they
had completely pinioned him. One of them at
length made tight fold about his neck, and was
endeavoring by this means to Lproduce srongu-
lation, and cause him to open ,his mouth. The
Indian had been taught their custom, and was
sufficiently sensible OF the game which his willy
adversary was playing. He therefore opened
his mouth with great self possession, and ms
soon as the snake had inserted his black head
within hisiaws, he very wisely bit it off, and spit
it out. The rest of the snakes seeing the flow.

speedily untwned their folds, and betook them

SUMMER AND UMN

1 love the summers joyous reign
His clear, blue, beamng sky,
And clouds that fold, like angel-wngs,
Round the warm sun on high!
Fair is the earth the velvet grass
Clothes hill, and vale, and mead,
And flowers smile out in radiance,
Where'er the foot may tread.
The air is softly luscious with
The fragrance which it bears,
And glad birds sing in wevy boughs
To charm away our cares.
The day is long and sunny,
And gentle is the night,
And bright and beauteous things ure found
Wherever the eye may light.
I love the sober autumn IT'S
a gladstone time TO me !
When the ripe and mellow fruit bends down
The hardy orchard tree.
The song-the laugh-the ringing shout
From harvest fields are borne,
Where sun Drowned reaper bands lay low
The golden realms of corn;
The forest trees put on their robes
A richly varied wreath,
And rushing winds to paly cheek
Give rosy tint of health,
o. dear to me is autumn,
With its ca I'm and sober Joys.
Though it boastest not the Summers heat,
And clear, bright, laughing skies!

From the Democratic Rcoteao.
THE ALLOT BOX.
Freedoms consecrated dover,
Casket of priceless gem
Nobler heritage Of power
Than imperial diadem
Corner stone in which was reared
Liberty's triumphal dome,
When the gorious form appeared
Midst our own green mountain home!
Purchased by as noble blood
AS in mortal veins DER run,
BY the toll of those who stood
At the side of WASHINGTON
BY the hearts that met the foe
On their native battle plain,
Where the arm that deals the blow
Never needs 10 strike again
Where the craven that would dare
Mar it with polluted breath?
Scorned and cursed, be his share
The traitors shame, the traitors death !
Let his faithless heart be torn,
From his recreant bosom riven,
And upon the whirlwnd borne,
To the carrion be given
Guard it freemen, guard it we'll
Spotless youi maiden's fame!
Never let your children tell
OF your weakness-of your shame;
That their fathers basely sold
What was bought with blood and toll
That you bartcred RIGHT for GOLD,
Here on Freedoms soil
Let your eagles quench'ess eye,
Fixed, uncrging, sleepless, bright.
Watch, when danger hovers nigh,
From his lofty mountain height;
While the stars and stripes shall wave
Der this treasure, pure and free,
The lands Palladium, it shall save
The home and shrine of Liberty,

DEATH BY HYDRopHoBIA. The N. Y. Com
mercial gives The following account OF mel
ancholy case ofhydrophobia which recently oc-
Cured in that city:
sIn April last lad named Richard Il. Jetcr,
| 10 years of age, while playing with dog, recei-
we'd bite on the thumb OF the left hand,
which penetrated the nail and caused him
considerable pain.-The wound was washed
with salt and vinegar, aud afterwards poutced,
when it healed Nothing farther was thought
of the circumstance until Tuesday last, when
the boy complained that he felt a strange sensa-
ton through the frame, and particular a numb
ness in his left, hand.
On Wednesday morning he made farther
complaints, and after taking dose of pills
went TO mis- employment, but returned home at
noon, when some rheubard and magnesia. were
MISUNDERSTANDING the evening he complain.
Ell OF sore throat, when physician call
ed in and the patient throatbathed with liniment
and he had tolerable nights rest.
On Thursday morning he was worse. He
partoo< of some food, but refused liquid re-
freshment He complained that the light hurt
his eyes, and that there was painful compress
ed feeling in his throat. An emetc was admin
istereG, but he could not be prevailed on 20 take
any thing to wash it down. In the afternoon
he became worse, and at half past three O'Clock
DR. Barker was called in. He pronounce it Il
case of Hydrophoba; and minated to the
mother The probable result of the disease.
A foot path, strongly impregnated with Il cap
sicum, and a cataplasm of mustard to the throat.
appeared fora while to mitigate the spasnls, and
to bring on a reaction. AT six o'clock, Drs Bar
ker Gray and Chasning saw the patient and
advised the application of'the spiritus vnn' a
remedy reported TO have cured one case of the
like in this city. At9 1,2 o'clock the attending
physician, with DR. Kennedy, found the symp.
toms getting worse and worse, with little or no
hope for the distressed patient, but, no,wth-
standing advised the continued application OF
the spirtus vitae, which was very faithfully done
by Mr. Jenison, assisted by two other persons,
till very short time of his death, about 1-2
2 o'clock on Friday morning. The Journal OF
Commerce Of this morning contains long re-
port Of this case from which we have abridged
most ofthe foregoing account, adding some cor
rectons furnished by a medical gentleman who
was engaged in the case.
When the yOnng man became sensible Of his
approaching end, and the cause OF it the Jour
nal says he addressed his uncle as fo!iow:--
Il am going to die; the dog that bit me in Maid
en- lane is the cause of my death. Oh! uncle,
il you ever have any children, never let them
play with dog" He shortly after became de-
lirious, and imagined that the dog was gnawng
him. His whole frame became convulsed
with spasms, and in the most frightful and yet
pitiful manner he called on those around him
to keep the dog away

LOVE OF GAIN. 1t has been remarked by for
eigners, that the Americans pursue riches with
more zeal and activity than any other people on
earth. 1t was said by the despotc black enpe
ror of Hayti, that if bag of coffee was placed
on the confines of the Internal regions, Yankee
would never rest until he had got possession Of
il! Christopher was shrewd observer of hui
man nature, and his observations in the main
may be correct. But thcIcharacter of cherishng
an insatiate thirst for wealth, although it may
in itself be just, does not apply exclusively to
our countrymen.
Unprincipled men may be found among all
nations, who will be induced by the hope of gain
to pursue with zeal the most disgusting en-
ploymens-employment which revolving
to human nature. And how many thousands,
nay how many millions of human beings not
only gain their very substance from, but fatten
on the miseries of o,hers Many anecdotes in
illustration of this may be related; we shall con-
fine ourself 10 one.
During the great Plague which ragged in Bias,
sorah in the year 1878, when three hundred and
seventy five thousand persons perish during a
single season. through the violence OF this dis
temper, an English merchant who happened to
be in Bassorah at the time, preserved himself
from infection by retiring with his goods to Il
mad house, where he carefully avoided any
| direct communication with the inhabitants. But
not wishing to remain idle during the reign of
| peslence, and having a large quantity of Ben
gal cotton cloth on hand, he sold it to the people
to be used in wrapping up their dead. The
price he demanded, which !of course was pro-
portoned to the distress of the inhabitants, was
put in basket, which was hauled up by rope
into his ware room, from which after undergo
ing some disinfecting process, it transferred
to his vaults, and the basket was again lowered
with the Sproportionate quantity of cloth. In
the course the summer he accumulated a
handsome fortune by disposing of seventy thou
sand ,0inding sheets.-JlIer Journal
