credit where it is so justly due; al any
rate, VIC desire that its sterliug truths should
be read and treasured up in every patriots

Which aUiH you dO?-One Of TWO things
mus, be done in Ibis country. Parents
must spend money TO educate their chill
dren, or they must pay taxes 10 build peni-
lentiaries and TO punish crime. There is
great mistake about what is called edu-
cation. Some suppose learned man is
an educated man. No such thing. That
man is educated who knows himself, and
who takes accurate common sense views
OF men aud things around him., Some
very learned men are The greatest fools in
the world The reason is, that they are not
educated men. Learning is only the
means, not the end its value consists in
giving the means of acquiring, in the dis.
cipline which, when properly managed, il
gives the mind. Some of the greatest
men in the world were not overstocked
with learning, but their actions proved
that they were thoroughly educated
Washington, Franklin and Sherman, we're
OF this class; and similar, though moi less
striking instances may now be louud in all
countries. To be educated, man must
learn-to think, reason, compare, and de-
eide accurately. He may study metaphy-
sizes till he is gray, and languages till he is
walking.polyglot, and if he is nothing
more, he is an uneducated man. There
is no class in the country who have
larger interest in The education Of their
children than farmers; and the subject
should receive from them the attention it
deserves.

4 Beautiful Thoupht.-How few men
seem to have formed a conception of the
original dignity Of their nature, or the
exalted design of. their creation. Regard
ing themselves only as creatures of time,
endowed merely vii H. animal passions and
intellectual faculties, their projects, aims
and expectations are circumscribed by The
narrow outline of life. They forget that
instability and decay are written, as with
a asunbeam, upon all earthly objecls-that
this world, with all It's pageanlry, and
pomp and power, is crumbling into dust
that this life is scarcely deserving Of
single. ithousht, excepting as il.forms The
introduction to another, and that he alone
acts pruden, rational part, who frames
his plans with direct reference to that
future and endless state Of being; Sin
has so blinded the understanding, and
debased the affections. that men never
fail 10 invest some temporal good with
fancied perfection, and idly imagine that
the attainment of il would satisfy the
desires and fill the capacities of the i'm,
mortal spirit! How lillle DO they know
themselves! The soul isno Of the earth,
and they will strive in vain, 10 chain it 10
the dust. Though its native strength has
been impaired, and its purify tarnished.
and its glory changed il will aot al
ways he prisoner here. Send il forth if
you will, to range through the whole ma.
terial universe, and like the dove dismissed
from the ark, it will return without finding
siugle place to resr-for it has noresting
place but the bosom of God.

The Annexation Question.

The subject of annexation Is daily assuming
a more important and interesting aspect. For
some time past, we were led 10 regard il as
good as setied. We were informed that the
people and governmen, of Texas entertained
bu, one view Of The subjecr, and tha, was to
open wide their arms TO embrace cur offer. La
ter news, however, seems 10 throw some doubt
over this opinion, and shroud The whole affair
In mystery.
The U. Brig Somers, has arrived al Pen.
sacola, from Vera Cruz, with news up to the
10Th Of May. When the Somers left Vera
Cruz, news had reached that city, that Trea-
~ Of Peace had been negotiated between the
Ministers Of that government and Texas, and
confirmed by the Mexican Congress, by which
Mexico acknowledges the independence OF
Texas, upon condition ha. she rejects annexa-
sion with The United States or any other coun.
try. The trea'y,is TO be submitted 10 the Con-
gress Of Texas. and if approved of by that body,
will put an end 10 annexation.
The Texan Congress will meet on the 10th
inst, when The propositions of Mexico and the
United States will be submitted 10 it for appro.
val or rejection. II is now positively asserted
'ha, President Jones is opposed to annexation,
and will use all the influence of his Office and
station, TO prevent il. If this is So the scheme
may be defeated after all. Sill we are not
sanguine that such will be the result. A shor,
time will tell the story.
