ENLIGHTENED LEGISLATION .

An attempt was made in the Legislature of New
Jersey, on Tuesday, to revive the law of previous
session, depriving persons connected with schools
and colleges Of the right Of voting, which had been
rendered null and void by the adoption of the new
Constitution. Mr. PIcKEL is entitled to the credit
of this enlightened proceeding. An attempt had
been made in the Convention which framed the
Constitution oengra this disranchising feature
upon it, but it was rejected by acclamation, both
parties, Whig and Democratic" for once uniting
in voting it down.
We do not know what object Mr.. PIcKEL could
have had in view unless like Jack Cade he regards
reading and writing badge Of aristocratical
tyranny, from which he would fain exempt the mind
Of the rising generation. Possibly he may think
with Dogberry, that I" reading and writing come by
nature"
If il be not invidious to mention the example of
foreign Power, not held just at this time in very
high estimation by certain of our brethren, would
barely suggest that in England the Universities have
been considered of importance enough to have rep
resentatives in Parliament of their own. We are
far from wishing to this example pursued to its
full extent in this country, butt does possible
to adopt middle course with benefit to all parties
However, the times changed, and we suppose
we must change with them. 1t is very certain that
requirements of any sort, useful or elegant, are
rather an ncumbrance, just at this time, to any
desirous of rising in the world.-PhiLad. Post.

THE HAPPY FARMER.

BY MRS. LYDIA H. sIGOURNEY.
Saw ye the farmer at his plough
As you were riding by
Or wearied meath his noon day toll,
When summer suns were nigh
And thought you that his LOT was hard !
And did you thank your God,
That you, and yours, were not condemn
Thus like slave to PlOd
Come see him at his harvest home,
When garden, field, and tree,
Conspire, with flowing stores to fill
His barn, and granary.
His healthfll children gaily sport,
Amid the new-mown hay,
Or proudly aid, with vigorous arm,
His task as best they may.
His dog partakes his masters joy,
And guards the loaded vain,
The feathery people clap their wings,
And lead their youngling train.
Perchance their hoary grandsire's eye
The glowing scene surveys,
And breathes blessing on his race,
Or guides their evening praise.
The Harvest. Giver is their friend,
The maker of the soil
And Earth, the Mother, gives them bread
And cheers their patient toll.
Come, join them round their wintry hearth
Their heart felt pleasures see,
And you can better Judge how blest
The farmers life may be-
