The HuSbandman.

What occupation is more full of dignity, what
duties are more full of joy, than those which dis
tinguish the husbandman. When was it that
man ever rose from a state of servitude and de-
pendence to proprietorship of land and its cult
vation, that he did not learn sef-respect, and be-
come more elevated in his own esteem! Then
it is that an entire change takes place Then it
is that breathing no low or abject spirit, he reaps
from the soil a harvest Of virtues. The sobriety
of the father, the economy of the mother, the
devoted labor of the son, the chastity of the
daughter-these, these are the fruits of the glo-
rious agriculture And this is my answer to all
who decry it. And pity those who know notl1-
ing,or are ncababIe of enjoying the soothing and
unsurpassng influence which agriculture sheds
over the mind and heart Of man,

Be True 10 Yourself,

The history of the world as well as the biog-
raphy of those who have played a prominent part
in its concerns, is worthy of everlasting remem-
brance. 1t assures US that it matters but little
what form of danger may assail man, if he be
true to himself
Poverty may lay its chilly hand upon him, and
freeze up the brightest fountain of his hope
disappointments may meet him at every step
affection may strike down those who are dearest
to his heart-the foul breath of SANDER may at
temp to sully his name and tarnish his reputa-
ton-still let him be true to himself-let him
maintain stout heart and clear breast-and he
will eventually out-rde the storm. Let those
who are struggling with Glow birth and iron for
tune" remember this truth-and let them re-
member, that no man can be destroyed by others
without fault and weakness in himself

SeIf"KnOwIedee.

1t is we'll to be occasionally taken down peg
or two and to learn what we actually are. A
little selEknowledge and modesty are sometimes
ofservice and contribute somewhat to make US
what God designed us. When it happens then,
that we are most thoroughly trimmed for sins OF
omission or commission, let US bear it philosphi-
cally-in other words, "grin and bear it,"-keep
cool, and instead of getting into passion, look
at ourselves and see if the outward manifesto
tons give not authority for what is affirmed. A
good trimming is wholesome food, however I'M
palatable, and should be dgested, be it ever SC
bitter-it will in time taste sweet, and contribute

Children as Teachers.

Mother said Fanny c., sweet little girl OF
seven years, brushing back her auburn curl,
mother, what does this mean!-'For our CONVEX
sation is in Heaven
The child had been sitting full half hour on
the cricket at her mothers feet-her bright face
bending over her book with that earnest gaze
that betokens the most intense thought; but she
had not, it seemed, entirely satisfied herself So
she looked up, con6dingly, to her mother for in
formation. But Mrs. C--was also absorbed
in book, and she did not heed the gentle child,
who again repeated more eagerly-'Mother what
does this meanl-'For our conversation is in
heaven
Why, what book have you, Fanny asked
Mrs. c.. oh, the Bible Well, | am glad
you are reading it to-day lit was Sunday, J
and the consclence-struck mother glanced at the
''last new novel; in her own hand, which she
had been devouring ever since she had arisen
in truth, for an hour before she left her pill
low.
But you have not told me what this means,
mOther-'For our conversation is in heaven
%! it means that we should talk about good
things, that is, about heaven and the angels and
say our prayers, and read the Bible said Mrs C.
you know when the ladies were here at your
party, motherr
yes, my love
WAS their conversation in heaven?
Il fear not, my child But why do you ask!'
Il have been thinking, said the little girl,
drawing a long breath, as though her thoughts
had been comprised with much difficulty; " |
have been thinking that people must speak very
loud to have their conversation in heaven, and
wanted to know if that was the reason which
made the ladies at your party talk so loud"
Mrs. C---could not torbear smiling at the
plea Of such nonsense as usually comprises the
conversation of fashionable party, being heard
in heaven; yet she keenly felt the rebuke of the
innocent child, while she endeavored to answer
careessly-" We do not talk about heaven, at
our parties, Fanny"
But when is your conversation in heaven,
mother 2" persisted the little girl
The question was a simple one, but poor Mrs,
C--was more troubled to answer it, than she
would have been to discuss the effects of gray
itation or the properties of light for she had
lately attended the lectures Of profound chem
list. She bent her lips to the cheek of her love-
| ly daughter and tear mingled with the kiss
as she thought how this world had engrossed heI
heart and soul, her time and talents and how
utterly neglectluI she had been OF the moral and
religious training Of her precious child And
now she is teaching mel" thought the mother.
And happy teaching it was Mrs. C--is
an altered woman and her little girl no longer
thinks it necessary for ladies to talk loudly to
have their conversation in heayen.-Lady's

Religious.
Christianity,

Christianity is pledge of social order which
none of us sufficiently prize. Weak as its nAu-
ence seems to be, there are vast numbers into
whom it has infused sentiments of justice, of
of reverence for God, and of deep
concern for the peace and order of the state
Rapine and boodshed would awaken now hor-
ror altogether unknown in ages, in which this
mild and divine truth had not exerted its power
With all these influences in favor of social inAu-
ence, have we much to fear from the free, earn
est, universal movements of our timesl be-
lieve that the very extension of human powers
is to bring with it new checks against their a.
buse.-Dr. Claiming.

GIimpseS of Slaycry"~Soathern Testi


This day forth It we stood on our wharf It was
bright and beautiful day. The air was balmy, and
all nature seemed in its sweetest harmony. Hundreds
were enjoying the scene and the man of business, all
engaged as he was, seemed disposed to forget its call
and partake of its pleasures. Yet at this moment-it
was near mid-day-a gang Of nogroes, manacled, and
linked together by an iron chain, Whiteman in
front, and another in the rear, was driven along.
attracting all eyes A cold shudder ran through
the crowd 1t was sight which startled and
shocked ALL Now suppose an intelligent stran-
ger visiting Us had witnessed this sight-suppose
him to have known nothing of slavery except
what his friends ayer-what would he have
thought-what have said-when he reached his
free homel Bitter words would leap to his
tongue Hot feelings Of indignation would burn
in bis heart, lie could not forget this sight, nor
could he ever after help speaking of slavery as the
darkest of human wrongs. Yet this display may
be witnessed in all our commercial marts and at
every capital.
Further suppose man every way well dis
posed towards us, and ready to do us full Justice.

us the other day. stand by and witness their sale,

the general feeling. Well. the stranger goes to
the auction. He sees woman ON the block.
Many persons surrounded her, wishing to buy,
and he hears questions as to her age her habits,
her soundness Not content with this, he sees
one rudely feeling her muscles, to be certain that
she is stronge and heathlul As a man. as a
citizen, unaccustomed to such scenes, never re-
alizing that such things could be, must he not
be shocked! viii not the blood rush from his
heart and Jingle in his veins, as if all was on fire?
Yet there is no slave state, no part of any slave
state, which is not forced to witness scenes as
sad as this
Nay, as to that, darker picture remains to be
be unfolded. In that auction room are MANY
slaves The old and young are there. Fathers
and mothers, husbands and wives, brothers and
sisters, set side by side, fearing everything. vet
knowing not what they fear. Are these family
ties needed As the father ascends the block.

Stated PraYer.

There is no religion without prayer, Have
stated times for devotion. At least, begin and
end every day with God Take time from sleep
rather than want proper time for prayer, 1t is
heart-prayers that are alone acceptable to God.
Besides your intercourse with God at stated sea-
sons, often look up to him, and ever 60 with him
in the name Of Jesus. Go into your closet and
get down upon your knees with as much reyer-
ence as if you behed the great and blessed God.

The TWO HEAPS. 81 see in this world, said
Rev John Newton, 1.-TWO heaps-one of human
happiness and one of misery now, if | can take
but the smallest bit from the second heap and
add to the first, carry a point. If, as go home,
a child has dropped halfpenny, and by giving
it another, can wipe away its tears, feel that

to do great things, but will not neglect such lit

LrBERTY.--We like Burke's ideas of liberty
He says;-"Men are qualified for civil liberty
in exact proportion to their disposition to put
chains upon their own appeties in proportion as
their love. of Justice is above their rapacity; in
proportion as their soundness and sobriety of
understanding is above their vanity and presump-
ton; in proportion as they are more disposed to
listen to the counsels of the wise and good in
preference to the hattery of knaves."

English Grammar.

Almost every one, who has commenced the
found it dull and uninteresting study made
so by the fact that they were not able to un-
derstand its principles. The fault has been
fold. Our teachers have not done their
duty sufficiently faithful, and the want of
proper school books.
If our grammars now in general use were
such we ought to have, our teachers would
be able to discharge their duties more correct
ly; as all well know the success of a teacher
depends much upon the text books the COM
mittee places in his hands.
The most of our grammars are entirely too
difficult for young scholars. The simple prin-
ciples of the Queens English are made OBJ
scurc rather than plain and simple. Mr..
Wild, in his grammar, has svoided this error
and given us simple and lucid exposition of
the first principles of the English Language,
in such a manner as suits them to the capacity
Of the youth of our schools. His method OF
illustrating the subject is so simple and natu-
raj that the child at once comprehends and
loves the subject-in fact it takes the natural
way-just as all knowledge properly given
will take. We have used it one term, and can
safely say it is superior to all other Grammars
we have seen for beginners. Nor does it suf-
fer in comparison with Others for the use of
advanced scholars. A TEACHER.
The northern tribune., 1848-02-23

1 We understand that some of the Loco
leaders, at the Loco Caucus, the other even
ing attempted to make capital for the ap-
preaching election by claiming the ten hour
system as the child of Mr.. Van Buren's Ad-
nistration-alledging that this system was
established in the Navy Yards by Mr.. Van
Buren. Now the facts in the case show that
the Government opposed that system until it
had been established in all the cities, and men
could not be found 20 work in the Navy Yards
on any other system. Yet within one year
Mr.. Folks Administration has attempted 10
do away with the system in the Navy Yard in
Philadelphia.
We state these facts that our laboring friends
may see what confidence can be placed in Lo-
co statements, made on the eve of an election,
and by men who are too proud to speak to a
common man at any other time.
The question in reference to the number of
hours of labor is question between the en-
ployer and the employed, and not question
Of party.

the contributions collected IN Mexico, should
