ebullition. No telegraphick signals for
me. No precursors 10 destroy the effects
of what is coming, give me laugh, the
sound of which strikes upon the tympa-

faom the summer sky-yet would not |
have it uproarious or lasting either, but of
moderate volume, end departing as sud-
denly as it came. There is some pleasure
in telling good joke TO hearty Laughter
1t repays you for treasuring it IN your
memory-you feel that your sociability is
appreciated, and while therecipient shakes
all over with mirtb, you congratulate your
self that the pleasurable feelings you have
excited are worthy tribute paid to your
powers of numerous recital. No man ev-
er laughed without being stout and whole

MEXICO AND FEANCE.-The N. Orleans
Bulletin Of Friday last, says of the refusal
OF Mexico 10 accept the capiiulation offs
fered by the French --s'Fo provoke var
with so powerful foe, would be an act of
insanity in the rulers of Mexico, and unless
some foreign nation interpoSes, the entire
sublugaiion of that State would be the re.
suli; and perseverance in policy so rash
ard fraught with results that threaten the
very existence of the Government, can
scarcely be nticipated-though all calcu-
lations may fail, that are predicated on the
movements ola people like the Mexicans.
Their imbecility is only surpassed by their
pride and ignorance. The great mass la
Dor under the delusion that the Mexicans
are the most ,werful and opulent nation
on earth; and it was not until the defeat of
Santa Anna, at San Jacinio, that their in
vincibiliiy began 10 be doubted. The
Texans have done much TO remove this
popular error, but ii still fingers among the
lower classes, and will exercise, no doubt.

refusal to ratlfy thecapitulation of General

INTERESTING LETTER FROM THE
HERMITAGE

The following letter was addressed TO
the junior Editor by his old and valued
FREED, the accomplished Editor of the
Free Trader. Ii was delayed so long by
the mails that il did not reach here until
after The departure of Col. Lester to attend
the military reviews in the Southern part
of the Stale. The letter was evidently
written in hasie, and not designed for the
press, but we take the responsibility TO lay
it before our readers.

THE FARMER--No avocalion in life is
more respectable and useful than that of
the farmer. The time has gone by, when
contempt is cast upon the husbandmdn.
Agriculture as science, is becoming more
important and more honorable. Ii is the
nobest for The natural employment OF man.
The intelligent and independent farmer
is ever respected; he holds an important
and responsible place in society. Upon
him devove many duties; upon him rests
many obligations. In him we look for ex-
amples in patriotism, virtue and inteIli-
gence. Living not in the "hCm of hu-
man cilies;n where he would be coutinu-
ally in the whirlpool of political and other
excitement, he can examine questions of
a moral, religious and political nature, with
a cool head and calm mind, and an unbi,
aeSed judgement. 10 hun we look for
correct opinion, and in him we should
find safe councillor and correct adviser.
Our farmers should cultivate their minds
and hearts as well as their fields. They
can gain the rich rewards in The mental,
as they can reap profitable harvesis in the
natural world Without learning a man
cannot be first rate farmer. Without in-
lelIigence he cannot discharge in a proper
manner, The duties of a citizen. Agri-
culture is a science that requires expert
ence and study. Men must be educated
10 be farmers, as well as doctors or law
yeas. And there are thousands of young
men, who are in stores and Offices, who
should go into agricultural pursuits. Ii
would be better for them, better for the
country. And who would not rather be
an independent farmer, than small shop
keeper, or fourth rate lawyer, or doctors
Who would not rather be first in a useful
employment, than to be iitman in one
which, the world calls hon oreble? Lei
young men seek for lands, rather than fol-
situations, Gin the cotton trade and sugel
line. Mobile Ploughboy.

saw temple reared by the hands OF
man, Standing with lis high pinacle in the
distant plain. The streams beat upon it
the God of Nature hurled his thunderbolts
against t-and yet it stood as firm as adj.
amant. Reyelry was IN its halls, the gay,
The happy, the young, and beautiful, were
there | returned-and O! that temple was
no more! lis high walls lay in scattered
ruins. the moss and wild grass grew rankly
there: and at the midnight hour, the owls
ory added to the deep solitude. The
voung and gay who reyelled there had
nassed away.
