THE POWER OF KINDNESS.

In town not thirty miles from Boston, a
young lady, who aimed at the high standard of
governing without force, and had determined to
live or die by her faith, went into school which
was far below the average, in point of good Or
der. Such were the gentleness and sweetness OF
her manners, and intercourse with her pupils,
that, for a few days, there was nothing but har-
mony Soon, however, the older pupils began
to fall back into their former habits ofinattentlon
and mischief This relapse she met with tender
and earnest remonstrances, and by an increased
manifestation of interest in them. But it was
soon whispered among the transgressors that she
would not puhish, and this added at once tp
their confidence and their numbers The ole-
dent were seduccd into disobedience, and The
whole school seemed rapidly resolving into mi
archy. Near the close of one forenoon, when
this state of things was approaching to crisis,
the teacher suspended the regular exercise oftbe
school, and made an appeal, individually to her
ins@3ordinate pupils. But, finding no hope CIV
ing response from their look or words she return
ed to her seat, and bowed her head, and wept
bitterly When her paroXysm OF greet had sub
sided, she dismissed the school for the morning.
After internisson she returned, resolving on one
more effort. but anticipating should that fail, the
alternative ofabandcning the school. She found
the pupils all in their seats Taking her own,
she paused moment, to gain strength for her
final appeal. At this juncture of indiscrbabe
pain, several SHE ringIeaders rose from their
seats and approached her. They said to her that
they appeared on account of the school, and par
ticuIarIy on their own, to ask pardon for what
they had done, to express that sorrow for the
pain they had caused her, and to promise, in be-
half of ALL that her wishes should hencelorth be
cordially obeyed. Her genuine sorrow had touch
ed spot in their hearts which no blows coulc
ever reach and, from that hour, the school wcnt
on with degree of intellectual improvement
never known before; and, like the sweet accorC
ofmusio, when every instrument has been attun
ed by masters hand, no jarrlng note ever at
forwards arose to mar its perfect harmony

FARMERS CLUBS,

The Farmers of every neighborhood should
form themselves into club, and meet once
week during the winter for the purpose of dis
cusslng such things as tend to their mutual i'm
proyement. 1t is astonishing what an amount
of knowledge they may thus obtain, and how
greatly their interests will be forwarded These
meetings may be held at some central building in
the neighborhood, such as the school-house, or
respectable tavern. But the best place, in our
opinion for a club meeting, is at the Farmers
own homes, where they should be held alternate
lytill the whole neighborhood is gone over, and
then commence anew and so keep on in regu-
lar routine. 1t would be we'll to have these
meetings once week in the winter and once
month in the more busy season Of the year.
Cergymen, Physicians, Lawyers, Merchants,
Mechanics, and indeed nearly every other pro-
fession associate for mutual improvement, and
the furtherance of their own interests then

THE INFIDELIrY OF MODERN soC1Er,

THE INFIDELITY OF MODERN SOCIETY.
Few persons seem to be aware of the utter
want of faith in any high, spiritual reality, which
characterlzes the thought, the feeling, the ex-
preston, the aims and purposes of modern soci-
rsety. The men and women of the present dav
are far removed from any thing like a sincere
and religious sense, as can be deemed possible in
world, moistened with the blood of martyrs,
resounding with the songs of prophets, and daily
blessed with the municence of the divine boun-
ty. They may prosecute the bold brother who
dares to call in question the creed in which they
were sucked, outWorn as it is, in their own
minds, they may curl the lip in proud scorn Of
the rude pIeblan who denies that the chalf they
deal in can ever be made into the bread of life;
they may stalk in costly robes through conse-
Grated aisles, and thank God that they arc not so
low and vulgar as 70 wish the abatement of any
established usage; but the inner souls are us
dead to that high, glorious sense Of the infinite
in which consists the essence of religion as if
they were kindred to the worm that fattens in
the cods of the valley, They have no faith in
the power and majesty of disinterested love. De-
votion to the hottest aims they resolve into sell
fish purposes One passion for Universal Uni
ty which suffers from every violation Of harmo-
ny, which is wounded by discordant note from
Va single human being, which longs for the sounds
of the great anthem, cloud as from numbers with
out number, sweet as from blessed voices utter
ing praise" that is to ascend from redeemed
. earth, they are scarce acquainted with even by
name; much less can they be made to cherish
the slightest confidence in any purpose, howev-
er wise in its conception and skEful in its exc
cution which is prompted byno lower motive
than this master passion Of thc truly religious
mind. They have no faith in the inspiration of
the prophecies, or of the soul. They do not look
for new Heaven and new Earth, in which
dwelleth righteousness. Good enough for them,
as they think, are the old Heaven and the old
Earth, in which dweleth responsibility. So long
as they can have their roast chicken and their
little game of cards." like the good lady who
wondered people could take such an interest in
the reform of Parliament, so long as they can
stand we'll in the society of ''ther sort" while
they live, and be sent out Of the world of sancti-
ty by pulpit eoquence and newspaper tribute
when they die. Every thing is well enough, and
should be let alone; the world is the best of all
possible worlds and wo to the wild visionary, the
poor fanatic, who has faith and who acts on his
faith, that the kingdom of God is to come on
earth, that Divine Order is to be established in
society, that the possibilities Of human nature

Salt JoT Plnm Trcss---A correspondent of
thu iaine Culyator states that he came in pos
session of an estate on which were many neg
lected Fam trees, He pruned them, and they
blossdmcd well, utproduced no fruit He then
applied about two quarts Of salt to tree, placing
il & footor two from the tree, early in March,
when tho snow was on, as had been recommend
ed, and he had an abundant crop of delicious
fruit This mode was recommended by DIR. s.
A. shuHleff Of Broohne, in communication
to the B9ston CuIdvator, two or three years
since
d.. ~ pTactices this plan with excellent sue
cess. Some fruit growers have supposed that
the eaees Of salt was to prevent the curculio from
coming egt:of the earth, where it remains du-
ring Che winter, and that the salt should be spread
around atree as far as the branches e%tend; but
the experiment of DR.. s. proves that it is suffi-
cent tOsplace the salt in ring around the tree,
about t5.ssaeet from the trunk, and his theory
is that q portion Of the salt is taken up by the
roots, and enters into all parts of the tree,-
foliage. fruit, and aIl,--and gives it a healthy
state, aid gives to every part distastc to in

Aristocracy--A contemporary truly says
(Which of our arstocratc families can look back
a few years, without encountering the ghost oil
some worthy mechanic! How many of the
fortunes which now inspire their possessers with
giddy notions have been earned by the rowel,
the jack-planc, over the counter of some incon-
siderable shop, or by some other handle occu-
patton! Yet their successors are too proud to
acknowledge their humble origin; and like most
of those who do nothing, and could have done
nothing to lift their families from the dust, are
the most pertinacous of their acquired and spu
rious aristocracy."

The following receipt for the prevention of infection

THE LITTLE GLUTTON.

rFrom her "Flowcrs for Chidren."l
Little Laura is glutton. Do you know what that
means? guton is one who eats more than he needs,
merely because he likes the taste. Sometimes Laura
eats more than is good for her Then she has the
headache and is very cross If her brother comes and
pulls Of her curs just for fun she stamps her foot
and says, acct away, Tom" This is because she has
eaten too much and made her head ache for Laura is
a good naturod little girl when she feels well.
| do not know what makes Laura so silly as to eat
full more than she needs She leaves the dinner in her
plate and lies down to sleep, when she has eaten e.
nough. Her little Canary birds are not so silly as
Laura; for if she to fill their cage with seed, they
would only eat as much as they need, and leave the
rest till tomorrow. The little busy bee is wiser than
Laura. She flies about among the flowers and might
cat out of their honeycups all day, if she chose; but
she only eats enough to keep her alive. The little
squirrel is not so silly. He eats half dozen acorns,
and then fiolics about If he had house filed with
acons, he would never need to have doctor come to
see him. for he would not eat acorn more than he
needed, merely because it tasted good.
Laura will never feel as well as the squirrel or have
such nimbe little ieetif she eats more than she needs.
Little children that eat much cake or pie or candy do
have such rosy checks bright eyes, or such sweet
lips, or such happy tempers those who eat but little,

CHARACTER OF A TRUE FRIEND.

Concerning the man you call your friend
tell me, will he weep with you in the hour Of
distress! viii he faithfully reproye you to your
face, for actions for which others are ridicuIing
or censuringyou behind your back! Will he dare
to stand forth in your defence when detracton
is secretly aiming its deadly weapons at your
reputation! Will he acknowledge you with the
same cordially, and behave to YOU with the same
friendly attention, in the company of your supe-
rlors in rank and fortune, as when the claims OF
pride or vanity do not interfere with those OF
friendship! If misfortune and losses should oblige
you to retire into walk in life in which you
cannot appear with the same distinction, or ell
terrain your friends with the same libcralty as
formerly, will he still think himself happy in
your society," and instead of gradually withdraw
ing himself from an Improbable connection, take
pleasure in protesting himself your friend and
chceriulIy assist you to support the burden Of
your allliction? When sickness shall call you to
retire from the gay and busy scenes Of the
world, will he follow you into your gloomy a.
bode, listen with attention to your " tale of SYM
patty" and minister the balm of consolation to
your fainting spirit! And lastly, when death
shall burst asunder every earthly tie, will he she'd
a tear upon the grave, and lodge the dear re-
membrane of your mutual friendship in his
heart as treasure never to be resigned! The
man who will not do all this may be your COM
panion---your notterer--your seducer; but de-
pend upon it he is not your friend.-E4feH

For thee the punctual spring returns,
To steep thy banks with rain:
And when thy latest blossoms die
In autumn's chilly showers,
The winter fountains gush for thee,
Till May brings back the flowers.

But once beside thy bed;
But one brief summer on thy path
The dews of heaven are shed.

And close their crystal veins,
And where the glittoring waters ram

says the Advertiser, to relate the circumstances
&c his conversion to Peace principles. He had
formerly been war man, and had passed thro'
all the grades of military office from the corpo-
raj up to the commandment of full division

Quaker who looking up to him with peculiar

touched him to the quick, for he was then pro
fessed disciple of Christ and while riding to the
field and reviewing his troops with ,he multi

OF the Quaker and his Christian armor. From
that time he lost his interest in military affairs
and now ranks among the Jealous advocates Of
