HARLEM RArLEoAD.-The running arrangements
on this road are of the most miserable kind There
isno particular time for startng-no particular time
to make between different points, and Judging from
the repeated accidents that happen, we should think
there was very little safety in travelling on any
part Of the road to Harlem beyond that place, there
appears to be but one conductor and every thing
goes right, but this side there are more masters
than men, The directors should appoint one man
to govern affairs, SO far as passengers
ed and not all have hand In the business, caus-
ing confusion and great loss Of time to those who
are compelled to use this conveyance in coming to
and going from the city,

A Prayer,

BY THE LATE WILLIAM BEcKFoED, ESQ.
Like the low murmur of the secret stream,
Which through da,k aIders winds its shaded
way,
My suPPliant voice is heard: ah do not deem
That on vain toys throw my hours away.
In the recess of the forest vale,
On the wild mountains, on the verdant sod,
When the fresh breezes of the morn prevail,
IswOnder lonely communing with God
When the faint sickness Of wounded heart,
Creeps cold shudderings through my sinking
frame,
turn to Thee, that holy peace impart,
Which soOthes the nvokers of Thy awful name.
Oh! all pervading Spirit! sacred BEAM
Parent of life and light! Eternal power!
Grant me through obvious clouds one transient
CLEAN
OF Thy bright essence in my dying hour!

THE Wool TRADE.-According to the
best calculation, MIR. Williams, in his admit
rable address ON the Tariff, it is supposed
that there are about 81 100000 of sheep in
the United States, worth on an average about
50 per head, and yielding about 9O,000,00O
pounds Of wool, worth at 80 cents per pound
about ST., 100000. These sheep at three
to the acre for summer and winter, would
require / / 1913 1888 acres of land for their
support, which, at Sl2 per acre, which is con-
sdered fair average, would be worth S 1856,
100000. To manufacture this clip Of-WoOl
will require about $4,000 hands, who with
families averaging three persons each, and
amounting in all 10 10000, at a consump-
ton of S25 per annum each, would require
S4, 100000 worth of agricultural products
for their support, which al nett yield of So
SO per acre for the market, would require
/, 500, 900 acres of LAND, worth at S IL per acre
S2l 100000. The capital invested, then
By the farmer in this business alone, is abou
1925, 100000, and the annual value accru
ing TO him, about Sal 100000 while th'
capital invested by the manufactures him
self in building, machinery, &c. to work u
the whole annual product would not perhap
exceed $4,000 900, or about one-ffth c
that of the agrlculturalist.

session of sweet temper. Home can never

OF life are forgotten. A sweet temper has
soothing influence over the minds of
whole family. Where it is found in the wife
and mother, You observe kindness and love
predomlnating over lbe bad feelings of nat
nral heart. Smiles, kind words and looks
characterize the children, and peace and

False Estimation Of Agricul-
tUP0.

The first obstacle in, the way of agricutu-
raj improvement, which shall mention, is
the low estimate which has been put upon
this calling. 1t has too often been regarded
as an employment that requires nothing but
physical Power-mere brute force; and con-
sequently, if young man exhibited any con-
siderable degree of talent, he must be put
to some other calling. The natural tenden-
cy of this has been. to degrade agricultural
labor. and to impress upon those who had any
aspirations after distinction, the ilnpolcy Of
grovelling in the dust, as cuItivating the soil
has sometimes been regarded. The affect
of. this has been to draw talent away from
agriculture, and to create an impression that
the calling was not as respectable as some
others. Many young man has been
driven from agriculture, and brought to ruin
by this cause. And if it were not ungallant,
would say that some of our young women,
faultless in everything else, have been so
far deceived as to prefer husband employed
in other pursuits than agriculture, But the
reverses which have attended other pursuits
will, trust, soon teach them, that the per
Imanent home Of the farmers wife is great!
to be preferred to the changing abode anc
variable fortune OF many other classes OF on
citizens. = Agriculture is no mean EN-
ployment. 1t was the first into which on
race entered, and it is the last which can b
abandoned. II has commanded the attention
} of some the wisest and best men ofancen
+. and modern times. Cincinnatus, renownet
7 in war, was not ashamed.to follow the plough
and the estimate which posterity has put up
" on his worth is such, that the farmer liza
e thrown the General into the shade. And i
: our own country, TO mention but one exam
i pie, the farmer Of Mount Vernon was th
i Father Of his Country. Who. then, woul
disdain calling pursued by the wise and tn
good-a calling essential to the well-bein
Of society, conducive to public virtue, PR
motive ofheallh and happiness, and one
which Washington was proud to retire, frol
one of the highest stations ever confeTe
|, by man. But modern discoveries have mac
= agriculture more attractive than formerl
y Now the application of science renders it;
e Intellectual employment; SO that the labor
= may improve his mind while improving L
~ soil, and cultivate his heart as well as
farm.

A GENTLEMAN.-Fhe character of a gem

GooD ADvIoE.-There is much good sense
IN the following, which although old deserves
TO be repeated once year,:
If any thing in the werld will make man

him IN the eyes Of others, and what's worse,
blunts his sensibility to disgrace on the one
hand, and increases the power and passion
ate Irrltability op the other. The truth is,
the more quietly and peaceably we all gel on,
the better; the better for our neighbours.
In nine cases out often, the wisest course is.
