is so rich that it will not produce wheat to profitable
extent until it has been cultivated few years. Whe-
Their this is sober reality, or the result OF Imagination,

The Son.

lngratltude is one of the worst of crimes,
and is deserving of the sevetest censures and re-
proof; yet scarcely any thing is more constantly
met with in everyday life, and it is sad indeed
that the family circle and domestic life are so Of
ten embitered by its presence.
See that aged man his form once erect and
manly, is now bowed down. and his steps, which
were quick and elastic, are now slow and meas
ured Yet the heart suffers still more, and the
wreck of all that was noble in the form, is but a
slight indication of the ruin within. If YOU con-
verse with him, he will tell you that the hope
that cheered him amid his dreariest hours, and
which was source of JOY and comfort by day
and night, has been forever blasted If you
ask him for the partner of his bosom, whose love
was unchangable, and for his daughter, whose
smiles and affection we're the sunshine of
his life, he will petchance point you to yon bu-
rial place. where they repose in peace until the
resurrection morn If you inquire for his only
son, the one on whom he dotted, and for whom,
he would have shed his life's blood then it is
that tears flow fast and groanS and signs escape
from the heart overburdened and weary: for his
son was his pride, his hope his Joy: and all that.
he possessed or could obtain was at his service,
and no sacrifice was too great for him to make.
But ingratitude marked every step Of his course,
and was seen in every act of his life the faith
ers advice was disregarded- commands trod4
den under foot-and his prayers and tears made
Jest Of and by-word; and now, weary andl
heart-broken, he longs to escape frcm his sor-
rows.
What contrast this is to the life Of SON
who is obedent, alfectionate and kind, and who
embraces every opportunity of showing his love
and respect, and whose desire is to smooth and
cheer the pathway of his parents as they hasten
towards the silent grave.
Young man it is the Bible which will teach,
you how to attend TO every duty, and perform
every responsibility which devoves upon you in,
every station of life and he who follows its d.
recton will be happy, and die blessed, and his
memory will be loved and respected by those
who live after him.-PhM Sat COur

The uses of Adversely.

1t is sorrow which makes our experience it
is sorrow which teaches US to feel properly for
ourselve and Others We must feel deeply be-
fore we can think rightly. 1t is not in the
tempest and storm of passion we can reflect,
but afterward when the DaterS haze gone OUer
tile soul;
and like precious gems and rich merchandise
which the wild wave casts Oh the shore out OF
the wreck it has made-such are the thoughts
lett by retiring passions. Reflection is the re-
suit of feeling from that absorbing, heart-rend-
ing compassion for ones SELF the most painful
sensation almost of which our nature is capable, }
springs deeper sympathy for others; and from
the sense of weakness, and IEupbraiding
arises disposition to be indulgent, to forbear
and to forgive--so at least it ought to be
When once we have shed those inexpressiblj
bitter tears which fall unregarded, and which
we forget to wipe away, oh, how we shrink from
inAicting pain how we shudder at unkindness
and think all harshness even in thought, only
another name for cruelty These are but com
mon-place truths, know, which have often been
thousand times better expressed. Formerly
heard them, read them, and though | believed
them; now feel them and, feeling, utter then
as if they were something new Alas the les
sons of sorrow, are old as the world itself-MrS
Jameson.

For the Green Mountain Freeman.
No More Slave States,

Mr. EDTToR:-
This should be point around which all the friends
of civil liberty should rally with one heart. Slave
holders and slave drivers may wish to extend slavery
and multiply slave States; but they should be met and
resisted with resolve that not another slave State
shall ever be added to our Union. Liberty and slave
ry cannot exist under one government Free insttu-
tons and slave institutions bear to each other the same
relation that fire and water do. One must destroy the
other whenever they come in contact Slavery must
then be resisted or all our free institutions must be
rooted up by the destroyer. Who then, will rise up
and say, No more slave States? viii the Legislature
of Vermont say and act accordingly? viii the people
wings say No more slave States, and resolve to sup
port no man who will not adopt this principle part
of his creed? What will honest democrats, who in
their hearts hate slavery do in this case? cling to par
ty leaders, and by their votes help to extend the hor
rors of slavery, and crush all the free Institutions Of
our country? Can an honest man, friend of human
rights real Christian do ths?-give his vote to men,
who go for increasing the number of slaveholding
States?
1t IS hardly necessary to ask what consistent aboli
tionsts will do in this case. Their hearts and mouths
will respond at once No more slave States admitted
into the Union. If the slave power must reign, let
her go to Texas and reign alone. This issue is now
to be proposed 20 the good people of Vermont who
have yet to elect representatives to Congress Let all
such caHddy look at the subject and decide for them
.Lo1,o Al, IL
States. If you will not, and cannot in conscience,
then call on your candidates, nd let them come for
ward and declare themselves on this point yea nay.
1t is time for you to act IF you love slavery, then
give your votes for shareholders, who will bind the yoke
upon your necks and upon the necks of your children
after you. you are the real friends of rational liber-
y show your faith by your works, and give your votes
for men who will not consent in any case, to admit
another slave State into our confederation Wait not
for party leaders to move, They are seeking the
oaueS and fishes, and will sacrifice your interests for
the bone of a fshs tail. Shake them off, Take the
work into your own hand; think and act oryourseves
slavely or no slavery. Shall we boast of freedom,
and add slave State after another to the confede-
racy' Shame on such hypocrisy Can you act such
part? Will you not play the man, do your duty,
and resolve, with fixed resolution, thatyo will cast
your votes for no man who will not resist with all his
influence, the admission of new Save States into the
Union? Speak, fellow citizens and your voice will
be heard and felt in the halls of Congress- Let slave
holders know that your hearts not with hem and
that you will not strike hands with the wicked

The Throne Of Grace,

If you are Christian the throne of grace is
yours Your Father is seated on it. Your Saw
Jour has sptinked it with his own blood. The
Holy Spirit draws you secretly to kneel before
it; and the promise, when there, is, Open your
mouth wide, and | will fill it," What an honor
to approach the King of Kings Were we to
have an audience with an earthly Monarch, we
should deem it an era in our history, and boast
of it through life. But you, and / and others
may have audience with the King of the uni
verse. Nay, have liberty to approach him at
any time, and under any circumstances. Have
we wants! He can supply them Are we in
trouble? He can extricate us Do Affections
press our souls? lie can mitigate and remove
them. Does sin poute our joys? With him
is the fountain Of cleansing. Does Satan vex
our souls! He invites US to his arms as our
refuge All relief and every blessing is from
God.-JOhn NcwtOn.

Bible Reading of Public Men,

Lord Kenyon, who understood law rather bet
ter than the gospel closed one of his charges to
the Jury as follows =" Finally, gentlemen, /
would call your attention to the example of the
Roman Emperor Julian, who was so distinguish
ed for the practice of every Christian virtue that
he was called Julian the APOSTLE.
But we need not leave our own country for
similar examples among our legislators We
find Mr.. Hoge member of Congress from
Illinois, in the course of debate, quoting the fol-
lowing lines as coming from the Bible;
awhile yet the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return"
And Col Benton, in the Senate, spoke of our
Saviour having cast SeUen dcUiis out of GER
tain man, aud of the devils taking possession o
the swine that ran violently into the sea anc
persisted. Two members of of State legisat
ure, at The close Oft session, addressed circu
lar to their constituents" We hope the course
we have pursued and the votes we have given,
will meet your appreciation. We hope you vii
say to us, as Nathan said TO David, Well done
good and faithful servents"
" Mr.. Speaker" said member of Legislative
body. earnestly opposing measure before the
house, " Mr.. Speaker, would no more vote for
that measure than | would fall down and wor
ship the golden calf that Abraham made
" Mr. Speaker" said another member " it wa:
not Abraham that made the golden calf, it was
Nebuchadnezzar." An editor Of one of our
newspaper, when giving an obituary notice OF
a worthy man, remarked" We may say of him
as the Holy Scripturs have so beautifully express
ed it An honest man is the noblest work Of
God"
One of our own City editors, himseBa clergy
man too, refers to Daniel as having prosecuted
the saints before he became Christian.

Perpetual Motion.

The Hartford Times says that machine is
now on exhibition in that city which is claimed
to be capable of producing perpetual notion
1t is running now, and will be during the con
tinuance of the Fair. 1t is an ingenious contrI-
vance, truly, and may lead to useful improve
ments in machinery, if it does not prove capable
in itself, of driving powerful machinery and Its
owners claim this merit for it.
The motion, turning of wheel,) isprocnred
by a spring, similar to that of watch, and the
continued winding up is performed by the ex'
panson and contraction Of fluid, Toll is used
though quicksilver is undoubtedly preterable,l
confined, as in thermometer, at the base Oh
rod upon which it acts as the change IN the lem
perature of the atmosphere expands or contracts

axle is made TO turn the same way, whether the
tendency of the fluid be mp or down. The ca
pacity of the machine now on exhibition IS sui
icient to raise four hundred pounds, and the
slightest variation from heat to cold acts upon
the "wiuding up" part of the machine.

one Of these machines about two years since,
and it has kept it wound up, so that it has run

The Christians Work,

The proper work of Christians is the extern
sion of Christianity: the adding to the cloud Of
witnesses, the diminuon of the sons of darkness,
accession of the gems to the Redeemer's crown.
1t is to be mbued with holy, untiring anxieties
to rescue beings like themselves from going down
to the pit; and because time is short, to devote
every power, TO consecrate every talent, devise
every MEANS employ every resource, to " save
souls from death, consequently to remember
that men are always perishing, that therefore,
we should be always aboring that the season
for activity is circumscribed and that ere long
the night will comet is coming-when our
tongues shall be silent, our hands motionless
and our hearts puseless for there is no work
nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the
grave whittier thou goest

SCIE N TIFIC.
PhODOtypy,

"What do Andrews and Boyle propose to ac-
compsh? You know something of it, Mr..
Editor, so let us have an idea of what you ac-
tuaIIy mean when speaking SO gravely of the
Writing and Printing Reformation" Such re-
marks as the above are not unlrequenty made
to us, We answer unhesitalngly, that we are
in favor of having the orthography of our Ian
guage simpIlfed There is no Disgusting the
fact, that however difficult it may be to accom-
pIish, STILL change, a radical change, is desi-
rabIe, and as it is desirable and right that we
should have it, we must and will have ii. Learn
ING to read is too difficult an affair to be en-
dured much longer, according to the present
Misunderstanding $, stem. What tedl us, trouble
some, wearing, heart-dulling, mIndklllng piece
of business it is, for child or foreigner to be
obliged to learn by heart, column after column,
the mode of spelling every word in the language
There is no task more disheartening to the mas
ter or repulsive to the scholdr-none which
tends to give children greater dstaste for books
hone upon which so many years of toll are
consumed. No wonder that the boy slghs for
holidays to escape from such drudgery. Every
effort of educationiss to make the school attrac-
tive to the scholar will be comparatively useless
every effort made by Missionaries and leading
Societies to spread knowledge of our language
will be comparatively abortive, until a National
System of Spelling takes the place of the present
caricature which is signi6ed as " the Just method
Of spelling words"
bo lInh Of
language only "a are pronounced as they are spell
led. The child then must learn the other 3,
l66 by heart the pronunciation or spelling Of
one word giving him no clue to that of another,
but on the contrary tending to msleQd him
How many years will it take him to accomplish
this feat? How many educated men can spell
every word in the language What useful arts
and sciences might not the child be successfully
pursuing instead Of being thus frightiuIly occu'
lped ? are questions that naturally suggest them
SELVES to the philanthropst, and educatIonist
when he hears that by change in our method
of printing-so slight that those who read the
present method can be taught 1t in a lew min
utes-the labor of learning to read can be redu-
ced TO few weeks This has actually been
accomplished by Mr.. Boyle, who taught class
of unIettered negro adults to read in seventy-twc
hours. We shall as far as it consistent with
our duties, keep our readers informed OF the pro-
greSs of the reform. Our city readers are aware
5 Of course, that Messrs. Andrews g. Boyle have
an office 10 Nassau.st.
Mr. Boyle isl now giving course of lectures
at the Brooklyn Female Academy and is pre-
pairing a class in one of the Public Schools o
that city, for exhibition in the Taternacle.-
This class is studying Photography, the differ
ence between which and Phonotypy we vii

Taking a Hint.

1t is very surprising to see how slow men are
to take hint. The frost destroys about one.
half the bloom on fruit trees; every body prog
nosticates the loss of fruit; instead Of that, the
half that remain are larger, fairer and higher
favored than usual; and the trees, instead OF
being exhausted, are ready for another crop the
next year. Why don't the owner take the hint,
and thin out his fruit every bearing year! But
no, the next season sees his orchard overloaded,
fruit small, and not well formed; yet he always
boasts of that first mentioned crop, without pro-
fitting by the lesson which it teaches.
We heard man saying, "the best crop OF
celery ever saw, was raised by old JOHN,
on spot of ground where the wash from the
barnyard ran into it after every hard shower, "
Did he take the hint, and apply liquid manure
to his celery trenches? Not at all.
We knew case where farmer SUBSIDIZED a
field, and raised crops in consequence, which
we're the admiration of the whole neighborhood;
and Got years the field showed the advantages of
deep handling. But we could not learn that a
single farmer in the neghborhood took the hint.
The man who acted thus wisely, sold his farm,
and his successor pursued the old way of surface
scratching.
A staunch farmer complained to us of his
soil as too loose and light; we mentioned ashes
as worth trying; "WelI, now you mentioned it
believe it will do good, l bought part of my
farm from a man who was wonderful fellow to
save up ashes, and around his cabin it lay in
heaps. l took away the house, and to this day
notice that when the plough runs along that
spot, the ground turns up moist aud close-graln'
ed" 1t is strange he never took the hint.
A farmer gets splendid crop of corn or 9th
er grain from offa grass or clover ley. Does ne
take the hint! Does he adopt the system winch
shall allow him every year sward to put his
grain onl No, he hates book farming and scien'
ti6c farming, and "this notion of rotation and
plods on the old way.

Humility.
"Lord keep me little and unknown,
Loved and praised by Thee alone"

Which of the christian graces are more love-
ly and profitable than humility? And how
could it be more beautifully expressed than it
is in the above lines ? Reader, did you ever
think how God abhors the proudl How he
aliases him that is all the while climbing up?-
How, if you would go up you must first 60 very
low down? " He that humbeth himself shall
be exalted" When the proud man gets up he
always falls for want Of an arm to sustain him !;
but the humble man is in no danger-his head
is not dizzy-an Almighty arm having raised,
constantly sustains him.
A humble man also, is much the happlest, as
well as safest, Being humble he is unnotlced
by the high-headed and gddy-cosequently their
arrows are rarely aimed at him; while the proud
man, il pointed at by no other, has the arrows
of God pointed at him, which never miss their
aim.
The humble and unknown one, seeks only
that love and praise which come from God. II
He is for him, no matter who is against him -
Calm and unruf1ed he will be,
Travelling to eternity.

Whoever conceived a more beautiful iustra-
ton of a sublime text than the following by
Bishop Beverage? 81 AM" "He doth not
say | AM their light, their guide, their strength
or tower, bnt only AM He sets as it were
his hand to blank, that his people may write
under it what they please, that is good for them.
As if he should say, "Are they weak! | AM
strength. Are they poorl AM riches Are
they in trouble AM comfort. Are they sick {!
AM health Are they dying! AM life. Have
they nothing AM all things ! I AM wisdom and
power; AM justice and mercy; AM grace and
goodness; AM glory, beauty, holiness, eminency,
super-eminency, perfection, all sufficiency, eter-
nifty JEHOVAH, AM! Whatsoever is pure and
holy whatsoever is good or needful to make
men happy, that | AM"
