One ounce will open the eyes of man,

And nature assumes her beautiful hues.

ordinary amount oiyigorons health. The iefii-
izing rain has been showered upon onr fields,
and the warm sunshine of heaven has re sted up
on US. Our extensive prairics, our hills and val
leys have been covered with waving grain--the
earth has presented her treasures with a bounti-
ful hand-the ample harvest has been gathered,
and now gladdens the heart OF the husba ndman
Prosperity and success have ifended the enter
prise and industry OF our citizens. Many from
distant and troubled lands have found a refuge
and happy homes With our borders. Temper

convinced the inebrate OF his error, and she has
carried JOY TO many desola,e hearth. Educa-
tion, the foundation Of our republican ins,ltu-
tons, has been pushed forward with vigorous
and systematic energy; and the Christian reli-
gion has been zenlously preached by able, learn
ed and pious ministers Of Christ. For these, and
for all blessings and favors, we should be graic-
ful 10 Almighty God. Il behoovcs US also, to
give sincere and heartfelt thanks 10 Him, that
we live in this highly favored country, and that
peace and prosperity prevail in the land. There
fore, let us all assemble on Thursday, the 30,h

the blessings which we have received, but with
