Mead we to tell God is here;
The daisy, fresh from winters sleep.
Tells of His hand in lines as clear.
What power, but His who arched the skios'
And poured the day-springs purple Aood'
Wondrous alike in all it tries,
Could raise the daisys curious bud;

In every step, the stamp OF God

Purity OF Feeling.

A life of duty is the only cheerful lile-ior all
JOY springs from the affections; and it is the
great law Of nature, that without good deeds, all
good affections die and the heart becomes utterly
desoate. The external world then loses all Its
beauty; poetry fades away from the earth for
what is poetry but the reflection of all pure and
sweet, all high and holy thoughts?

An Editors Farm.

The Maryland Montgomery County Journal,
gives the following particulars in relation to the
farm of f. P, BLAIR, Esq, Editor OF the Wash
ngton Globe
"F. P, Blair, Esq. of this county, states
in the Globe, that his farms now produ-
ccs eighteen barrels or ninety bushels of
corn to the acre. A few years ago, Mr..
Blairs's farm was as unsghtly a looking
place as could be seen in our country
poor and barren enough. Mr.. Blair has
lust done what many others, owning poor
lands in this county, can do, if they will
make the effort. 1t has been ascertained
by actual experiment, which has not in a
single instance failed, that our exhausted
and wom.out lands can be readily reclaim
ed att comparatively triAing expense. A
little capital, with smart sPrinkImg of in
-lustry and perseverance, is all that is re-
CURED"

COLONEL YOUNG.

Vie has been endeayorng to leave the impression
that the Colonel advocates the policy OF confdng to
inc Legislature instead OF the people, the election of
important public tunctionares. Col. Young never
advocated any such doctrine, nor did he ever make a
declaration lastyng such charge"
Our attention has been called to an article in the
Wing of the It'll inst, from which we clip the above.
We were sick at the time, and in consequence the
article escaped our notice. Col Young did declare
most emphaticaly in his speech at Mnngers lanyard
that no in favor Of taking the election of certain
State officers, such US Auditor, Treas urer &C. out Of
the hands Of the people and entrusting to the Lee
gslature. The Col. himself will not deny it. If he
does, we have at least fifty witnesses to prove the
truth Of what we have stated. lie Gid advocate
such doctrine" and in language SO clear and explicit
that it was impossible to misunderstood him. He
spoke Of its being his opinion, and he would proclaim
it, whether il was popular or not. He complained Of
the length ofhe ticketof the great number of names
on IT, and declared that when the democrats presented
him with one as long as his srm stretching out his
le, and the wings as long as his arm, stretching
out his right, he for could not discriminate prop
ery he could not vote understandngy, and for that
and other reasons he was in favor OF intrustng the
election ofthose officers, Auditor Treasurer &c, to
the Legislature.
We are little surprised that our neighbor of the
Whig should deny so positively what so many know
10 be true But he may assert dogmatrcally and
deny as by authority, yet he cannot shake the truth
out of it, nor can Col. Young by the most ingenious
sophstry explain away his meaning He stood be-
fore the people, the occasion alluded To, the advo
cate of"the policy of confding to the Legislature in
stead Ofthe people the election Of important public
iuucticnaries
