THE BUILDERS.
Y HENRY w. LONGFELLOW.

EY HENRY w. LoNGFELLow.
All arc architects of Fate,
Working in these walls Of Time
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show,
Strengthens and supports tho rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled
Our ,o-days and yesterdays,
Arc tho blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between !;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
IN the elder days of Art:
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods are everywhere.
Let us DO our worl, as we'll,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, where gods may
Beautiful; entire and clean. dwell
Else o,lr lives arc incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Time;
Broken stair-ways, where the feet
Stumble rs they seek to climb.
Build today then: strong and sure,
With firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure,
Shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can VIC attain
10 those turrcts where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain,
And one boundless reach of sky.

men oflearningg and experience these matters,
their attention. to them and endeavoring, as
fur as lies in their power,1te dcpclope the re-
sources Of their own farms as well rs those Of
their neighbors. I, give us grea, pleasure also,
tosee in our exchanges well written essays on
any subject connected with agriculture. They
cannot but produce beneficial results. We
know that there isamong a large class Of far
mers, a strong prejudice against what is vu-
carly called .Book learning" in farming.
They think that i, is alltheory aud nothing else
Because some Of those gentlemen who write
learned essays onagricuture, are very ind.tter-
ent practical planters, they think that scientI.
tic Knowledge on this subject is utterly useless.
Never was there greater error. Until science
is applied to agriculture it neSer can advance 10
much extent. But for science.the agricultural
resources ofthe country, never could be deve.
loped. Tho i,t1te improvement which is now
going oniR our State, isto be attributed SOLE
ly'to this. In.prepor,ion as scientific know.
ledge ofasricuture. is extended in the Stale,
in corresponding ratio. will the wealth., the
comfort. and the general prosperity Of the peo.
Pile be advanced. This truth is 50 obvious,
tina, it needs go argument 10 establish it. We
greatly desire than a knowledge OF agriculture
should be taught in our pnncipal schools and
academies, and particularly ia our State Col.
'iege. We know that the excellent Professor Of
Chemistry, in the last mentioned Institution,
gives, 10 his class many useful and practical
suggestions, but we would be pleased to see a
department for teaching scientific agriculture
exclusively. established. We hope that our
enlightened Beard Of Trustees will at an early
day, give attention 10 this important matter.
Loss eftke Seam Ship Great Britain.-The

Great Britain, on the north east coast ef Ireland.
She left Liverpool on the morning of the 22d

eighty.6ve passengers. Every thing presented
fair appearance for a prosperous voyage.
The day was beautiful and The ship sailed well
About 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the
weather became thick and fogsy, and as
night closed the wind gradually fieshened into
gale. About half past nine o'clock at night,
The vessel went ushore, a. Rathmulen, in Dead

were saved. The Great Britain was OH the
