Musings in the Temple of Nature.

BY HORACE SMITH.
MAN can build nothing worthy of his Maker;
From royal Solomons stupendous fame,
Down to the humble chapel of the Quaker,
All, all are vain
The wondrous world which he himself created
Is the fit temple of creations Lord;
There may his worship best be celebrated,
And praises poured
Its altar-earth its roof the sky untainted;
SUMMON and stars, the lamps that give it light
And clouds, by the celestial artists painted,
Its pictures bright.
It's choir, all vocal things, whose glad devotion,
: In one united hymn is heavenward sped,
The thunder peal, the winds, the deep-mouthed
ocean,
Its organ dread.
The face of nature, its God written bible, 8
Which all mankind ihgy study and explore,
While none can wrest, inteipolate, or libel
Its living lore.
Hence learn we that our Maker, whose affection
Knows no dstincton-suffe no recall;
Sheds his impartial favor and protection,
Alike on all.
Thus by divine example do we gather,
That every race should love alike all others,
Chrisian-Jew, Pagan, children of one Father,
All, all are brothers.
Conscience, heavens silent oracle, tn assessor
OF right and wrong in every human Breast
Sternly condemns tn impenitent trangressor
To live unbest.
The pious and the virtuous, though assaulted
BY fortunes frown, or mans unjust DEGREES,
Still in their bosoms find pure, exalted
Unfailing peace.
Hence do we learn that hardened vice is hateful
Since heaven pursues it with ayenging rod
While goodness, selt-rewarded, must be grateful
To man and God.
o thou most visible but unseen Teacher,
Whose finger writes its lessons on our sphere;
o thou most audible, but unheard Preacher!
Whose sermons clear
Are seen and read in all that thou performest-
Wilt thou look down and bless, if when |
kneel
Apart from man-bult fanes, feel the warmest
And purest zeal
If, in the temple thine own hand hath fashioned,
Meath the bright sky by lonely stream or
wood,
| pour to thee, with thrilling heart empassioned,
My gratitude =
Fin the present miracles terrestrial,
Mine eyes behold, wherever have kneeled,
New proofs of the futurity celestial
To man revealed;
If, fearing Thee, love thy whole creation,
Keeping my bosom undefiled by guilt,
Wilt thou receive and bless my adorotion?
Thou wilt thou wilt

month from to-day, to celebrate the Ami
versary of the passage ofthe Ordinance of

Maryland. The call is not confined TO
the Free Democracy. but all who appreciate
the blessings of the Ordinance which has
made the Northwest the happy home of
live millions of freeman, and who are ready
TO extend this Ordinance over every square
rod of United States Territory, are cordially
invited to attend. Who will go from Wis

CUTTING OFF THE Tors OF POTATOES SURE
REMEDY FOR THE RoT.-We give below the
testimony Of Genesee county farmer, which
is confrmatory Of that of several of our CORE
spondents. This cutting off the tops seems an
unnatural process, but let It be tried, and that
thoroughly, and then we shall know
when frequently mentioned, after my sue
cess last year, that had saved part Of my pota-
toes by cutting off the vines as soon IS | saw
the rot begin, | was asked by some what d6y of
the month had done it. had watched neither
the sun nor the moon in the case, but the pota-
toes, and of course my information was unsats-
factory to such as had paid for the Yankee secret
OF cutting Canada thistles on a certain day in
summer; though, by-the-bye, even in this case
it seems possible to do much in subdung these
thistles by waiting until they grow hollow
hearted" soon after poisoning, and cutting
them before a good shower, that the roots may
be filled with moisture and rot.
1t was about the end of August last year that
| cut my potatoes; but the rot began fortnight
sooner this year, and on the 9Th of August
cut off all the vines of the most of my pink
eyes before the potatoes had reached their full
growth, but we thought better small potatoes
than no potatoes. They were not digged till
the middle of October. Cutting seems to be
better than pulling; it is easier; and when we
came to dig those that were cut, we were per-
suaded that the roots must have continued to
grow after the operation as we had good sized
Potatoes. Indeed similar fact is generally ac
knowedged with regard to early cut grain

A New KIND OF WHEAT.-Advices
from 81. Petersburg to the 10Th of August
mention that new variety of the Arnautka
wheat has recently been discovered and
cultivated in Bessarahia. Ii is called the
kolus, or large-eared wheat, on account of
the peculiar beauty of its ears. At present
ii is limited TO mere seed wheat, and letches
twice the price of ordinary Arnautka. One
other and important peculiarly ofths grain
is, that it is less affected by drought than
other varieties. This important discovery
was made by peasant of the name of Bull
atowisch, in the village Of Troitzk, in the
district Of Bender, who being close OBJ
server of nature, detected in his crops GER
tain ears which were larger and became
ripe more speedily than the rest of the crop.
These he collected and sowed separately,
and the result was an abundant harvest, and
the introduction of new and valuable va
riety of wheat. The event had created a
great sensation amongst the agricullurists
and dealers in grain, and the new wheat
well merits being named after its discoy-
erer.-GneSee Farmer.

THE RUST IN WHEAT.-The following re-
marks from the Annual Report of the ST. John
IN b. Agricultural Society, as to one of the
causes of rust in wheat are thrown out rather as
a superstition than an opinion, with the view Of
exciting inquiry.
The oat draws nutriment from the earth by the
side roots, which spread over the ground The
wheat plant has similar rootets but in addition
thereto, when about to head sends down tap-root
into the earth, for the purpose, it may be pre-
sumed of procuring the additional nutriment
which its large, rich ear requires and this tap
root has been known TO 90 down to the depth of
four feet. We may observe, that up to the
time ofsendng down the ap-roOts the wheat is the
hardest and thrttiest Of al.the cereals. but after
wards the most liable to disease. This delicacy
is accounted for, when we consider that land is
generally undrained; that not more than few
inches of soil get the benefit of sun, air, manure;
AMI that therefore, the root must encounter in its
downward travel, nothing but disappointment.
