PLEASURES OF AGH1cuLruRE.-Th en-
plovmcnts Of agriculture, independent Of
their profit, are most congcnal and pleas
ing to human nature. An uncorruptcd
mind sees in the progress Of vegetation,
and the habits and dispositions and uses
Of those animals which man has subiec-
ted to his sway, charms and beauties
which the objects OF art can seldom afford.
The occupations Of hnsbandry are more
favorable too, to health, TO plenty, to re-
nose, and to innocence. Can the pursuits
of low and vicious qualifications, can lux
curious indulgencies, can the restless cares,
the fears and nnxictics Of the ambitious,
be compared with the laoors and enjoy
lrncnts Of him whose days are spent in su-
perintending the culture of his fields
his nights in quiet and refreshing sleep?
Such life is moi Inconsistent with high
Nv cultivated and polished mind. 1t is by
no means necessary that they who engage
in rural labors, should contract coarse.

No LAND LIKE AMERIcA.---T Hon
Mr.. Winthrop, OF Boston, who has rcccn-
lly returned from Europe, addressing u
political meeting i'll Fancuil Hall, last
week, said:
ale had recently returned from other
and distant lands. lIc had stood in the
halls of widc-rcnown; he had stood
in the hall where Chatham fell dead, while
vindicating, in burning words Of clo-
qucncc, the cause Of the American colon
les and of American freedom. He had
been at Runnymcdc, where the bold bar
ons wrung from King John tho Magma
Chur'a.--lhc con>ttu ion or England. lie
had stood on the field Of Rannockburn,
where the Bruce won the liberty Of Scot
land; and OH the 9TH Of July last, amid
the wild hills and mountains of Switzcr-
land---thc land Of Tcll---hc had in com
pany with companion and countryman,
toasted once again his native and beloved
land. But, amid all his wanderings, he
hud seen no land like his own land---no
hall like Fancuil Hall---no plains like
those of Lexington--and no rock like that

German by the name of Abraham L,ninger
was found just at the edge of town drowned.
In crossing a ditch that was overfl wed by
high water, he got into it, and the supposition
is that he remained their until he was foated
out by stick upon which he caught.
A narrow escape was made by man who
was going to mill. He had yoke of cattle
hi'ched to his wagon In which he had ten bush
els Of wheat and on coming down hill no
neglected to lock, and the wagon rushed the
team Oft the road into the river. The man
jumped into the wagon, and just when the
wagon reached the deep water, the box with
ten bushels Of wheat and new cloak swan
off, leaving the driver hanging to rope fixed
to the near oxe's horn for line. The toam
