elements. There is alwaysi in every coun-
try a mass of persons, idle and profigate,
who herd together in cities, and who,
having nothing to lose, are always ready
for every innovation, or every distur-
bance that threatens convulsion and over
turn, as in the general scramble they may
obtain plumber and power. 1t was this
fact that induced the illustrious Jefferson
to pronounce great cities "sorcs on the
body polite ;'and the murders, mobs, and
riots that prevail in them, are only so ma
ny proof of the great deficiency of moral
feeling existing. The observation ofevcry
intelligent man in the country has %convin-
ced him that if the democratic republican
institutions of our country are destined to
pass away, it will be in the flood of, i'm
morality and proiiIgacy %engendered by
lawless ignorance ; and the patriot and
the statesman %instinctively turn to the
plains, the hills, and the mountains, of
our broad and glorious land, as the abode
ofthe principles, and the men, who, under
Providence, are our Safeguard and our
hope. The farmers have always been
found the firmest supporters of order and
and law, and if they have cvcr been found
arrayed against either, thas been because
ignorance fitted them to become tools of
the unpriucipled an the designing. If
ever vice and immortality triumph in our
land /; if cver our civil and social institu-
tons are subverted ; if ever our political
liberties are destroyed :; the farmers of the
country, such men as Tough! at Bunker
Hilland Bennington, Plattsburg and New
Orleans, will be found the men to defend
them to the last, and die in the last ditch
in preventing their overthrow.

"What should IL Farmer be -

An important query this, and n that
deserves to be we'll pondered. We an
swcr it thus -
4 Farmer should be Lndustrious.-In
no department of life, without industry,
can any thing valuable or important be
achieved. There is such a thing as an
idle farmer, " true it is, and a pity It's
It's true !" but an idle, successful farmer,
is something the world has not yet seen.
No where is %persevering industry more
indispensable than on the farm, and no
where is we'll directed labor better re-
warded. When We say the farmer should
be industrious, we do not mean he should
be a slave.-There is, among some far
mers, perhaps a majority at the present
time, a ~feverish anxiety to become rich,
a disposition to go ahead which renders
rest impossible, and hardly allows time to
eat or slecp-such men are subject to a
task-mastcr of the most imperious charac-
ter, and one from which they should make
no delay in freeing themselves. The
farmer can have, and he who manages
his affairs well, will alwayshave, his hours
of relaxation-hOurs to spend with his
friends, and hours to devote TO the impro-
vement of his mind. The way to ensure
this, is always to be beforehand with the
labor of the fsrm, and never allow himself
to be crowded.-More work should never
be laid out than is compatible with this
rule ; and the work that is required to be
done to-day should never be deferred till
to morrow. The difference in the ease
with which labor is performed, when
done in the right time, or when we are
driven TO it by urgent necessity, is so
great, that attention to this point alone,
would, in permorming a given moun OF
labor, make a most material addition to
the farmers hours of rest and improve
ment.
A Farmer should be Economical
Let the farmer labor as hard as he may
let him deny his soul and body every re-
quired good; let him abridge his hours OF
sleep, and toll from "morntill dewy eve,'
without rest, or relaxation ; it will amount
to but little, unless his affairs are in other

SIIELLEY'S OPINION OF DANTE.

" Dante was the first Religious Rctormcr and
Luther surpassed him rather in rideness and acri-
nony, than in the holiness Of his censure>, of pa
pal usurpation.-Dante was the first awakner Of
entranced Europe he created a language, in itself
music and persuasion, out Of class of lnharmo-
nious barbarisms.-He was the congregator of
those great spirits who presided over resurrection
OF learning the LucJer Of that story flock
sohich in the Thirteenth century shone forth
from Republican Italy. as il ON a heaven, into
the darkness Of the benishted pOrld.-Hls very
words are instinct with spirit each is as a spark,
a burning stem Of inextinguishall lie thought ; and
many vet lie covered in the ashes of their birth,
and pregnant with lightning which has yet found
no conductor. All high poetry is infinite; Il is
az the. first acorn, ,rhich contained all oaks
potentially. Veil after veil may be %undrawn, and
The inmost naked beauty oftlr meaning never ex-
posed. A great poem is a fountain for ever over
flowing with the waters of wisdom and delight ;
and after one person and one age is exhausted OF
all its divine influence which their peculiar rcla-
Iations enable them TO share, another and yet
another succeeds, and new relations are ever de-
velored, the source of unforeseen and unconceivcd
leliyht.n

THE THREE BRIDES.

"Do you see," said the sexton "those
three hillocks y%onder, side by side! There
sleep the three brides whose history l am
about to relate. Look there, sir, on
yonder hill, you may observe a little iso-
lated house, with a struggling fence in
front, a few stunted applc-trces on the
ascent behind it. 1t is sadly out o frepair
now, and the gardcnis all overgrown with
weeds and brambles, and the whole place
has a desolate appearance. If the wind
were high now, you might hear the old
crazy shutters Tapping against the sides,
and the wind tearing the gray shingles off
the roof. Many years ago, there lived in
that house an old man and his son, who
cultivated the few acres of land which be-
long to it.
"The father was a s~elf-taught man,
deeply versed in the mysteries of science
and, as he could tell the name of every
flower that blossomed in the wood and
grew in the garden, and used to sit up
late of nights at his books, or reading the
mystic story of the heavens, men thought
he was crazed or be~witched, and avoided
him, and even hated him, as the ignorant
ever shun the gifted and enlightened. A
few there we're, and among others the
minister and lawyer and physician of the
place, who showed some willingness to
afford him %countenance ; but they soOn
dropped his acquaintance, for they found
the old man somewhat reserved and mo-
rose, and moreover, their vanity was
wounded by discovering the extent Of his
knowledge.
To the minister he would quote the
Fathers and the Scriptures in the origina
tongue, and showed himself we'll armed
with the weapons of polemical contro,
versy. He astonlshed the lawyer witt
his profound acquaintance with jurispru
dence (; and the physician was surprised
!. at the extent of his medical knowledge

the year, Adelaide, too, sickened and
died, like her younger sister, in the arms
of her husband and of Madeleine.
Perhaps you will think it strange,
young man, that, after all, the wretched
survivor stood again at the altar. But he
was a mysterious being, whose ways we're
inscrutable, who, thirsting for domestic
bliss, was doomed evcr to seek and never
to find it. His third bride was Made
leine. l we'll remember her. She was
a beauty, in the true sense of the word.
1t may seem strange to you to hear the
the praise of beauty from such lips as
mine ; but l cannot avoid cxpatiating up
on hers. She might have sat upon a
throne. and tho most loyal subject, tho
p%roudest peer, would have sworn the
blood within her veins had descended
from a hundred kings. She was a proud
creature, with a tall, commanding form,
and raven tress, that floated, dark and
cloud-like, over her shoulders. She wa
a singularly gifted woman, and possessed
ofrarc Inspiration. She loved the wild
owe Tor his power and his fame, and she
welded him. They were married in
that church. 1t was on a summer after
noon-I rccollect it well. During the
ceremony, the blacklist cloud l ever saw,
overspread the heavens like a pail, and,
at the moment when the Mird bride pro-
nounced her vow, a clap of thunder shook
the building to the centre. All the fe-
males shrieked, but the bride herself made
the response with a steady voice, and her
eyes glittered with wild-fre as she gazed
upon her bridegroom. He remarked a
kind of incoherence in her expressions as
they rode homcward, which surprised him
at the time. Arrived at his house she
sunk upon the threshold but this was the
timidity of maiden. When they were
alone he clasped her hand-it was as
cold as ice! He looked into her face
"Madelcinc," said he, "what means
this ! your cheeks are as pale as your
wedding gown!" The bride uttered a
frantic shrek.
"My wedding gown!" exclaimed she ;
emo, no-this-this is my sisters shroud
The hour for confession has arrived. 1t
is God that impels me to speak. To win
you have lost my soul! Yes-ycs-I
am a murdercss! She smiled upon me in
the joyous affection of her young heart
but l gave her the fatal drug! Adelaide
twined her white arms about my neck,
but | administered the poison Take
me- ~ your m 1 nave lost my soul
for you and mine must you be !"
"She spread her long, white arms, and
stood like a maniac before him." said the
sexton, rising, in the excitement of the
moment, and assuming the attitude he
described; "and them" continued he, in
a hollow voice, sat that moment came the
thunder and the flash, and the guilty wo-
mau fell dead on the noor!" The coun-
tenance of the narrator expressed all the
horror that he felt.
"And the brieegroom," asked I; "the
husband of the destroyer and the victims
what became of him ;"
Ill stands before you!" was the
thrilling answer.
