Beautiful Remark Of Gov. Johnstons


The present progress Of the President
through Pennsylvania abounds with Incl
dents which we regret we have not room
to publish. The affection and admiration
with which the Old Warrior was received
by the inhabitants of the interior was tru-
" remarkable. They could hardly find
means to express their regards.
The following incilent we copy from
letter in the New York Tribune, for the
beautiful remarks Of Gov. Johnston:
AT McConnellstown, small place near
one Of The mountain ridges, large collec-
ton stood in the rain, awaiting the Presi-
dents arrival. As the coach drove up they
gathered around crazy TO see the. man Of
Buena Vista, yet half afraid 10 come up and
touch him. The President at once a.
lighted among them taking each one by
the hand in that easy but plain and sincere
manner which at once assured them. They
expected speech, but the President was
10 weak. Then they called for Gov.
Johnston, whose easy manners and free
intercourse with the people are not less
remarkable than those of General Taylor
himself. The people lowered around
their illustrious guests, and Gov. Johnston
in an off, hand manner, said that he much
regretted that the President was not now
in that robust health which he had all a.
long enjoyed up TO Harrisburg; but he
knew that if he was a: all able it would
give him the greatest satisfaction 10 speak
10 them. You find here continued Gov.
Johnston, an aged man travelling through al
vast domain containing twenty two millions
cfpeo, l. W ithout guard, ~ Thou, protection
and entirelywithout warike or defensive
weapon of any kind. Through your cities
containing thousands, through your villa
ges, your valleys and your rugged noun
tain passes, he goes, invoking no .protec-
ton but that which the people volunteer
throwing himself entirely upon their per-
feet freedom TO ACT as they please. How
he has been received you all know. AT
every cross road and hamlet he has been
met as Won have met him here. Your
hearts in your hand and your affections
where the affections of free people will
always be found. You have here, my
felow citizens, beautiful illustration oil
Republican principles. No poieniate Of
the Old World, however powerful, dare
go at any time fifteen rods beyond his owr
domicil without an armed guard 10 protect
him from the vengeance Of the people
whom he pretends TO rule. There is no
other people on the face Of the globe like
ours. where the Chef Executive can
travel through the length and breadth ofthe
country without guard and without ar
miles,

TO reach them, will be the simple truth, as
It was to Him to whom all sciences were
lntuitive, and who enacted the majestic
tragedy Of Redemption in the presence Of
them all Let those who '.disciple all ma
tIons," by preaching in foreign lands, be
aware that the preachers appropriate
work" in the words Of DR.. Park, 'be-
gins with those studies which were the
end of the labors Of such men rs De.car-
ties and Stewart, and Brown" Before the
future missionary attempts the overthrow
OF heather atheism and pan,heism, LEI him
settle deep in his intellectual being that
principle Of Jouffroy. ga truth relating to
an internal fact can be verified wih no
less certainty than truth relating to 4
sensible fact" Let him regard his duty
to overthrow philosophical objections, BY
being acute and trustworthy in the analy-
sis Of mental phenomena, and convincing in
the deductions therefrom, as one Of the
highest of his duties to Christ. Let him
be sustained by the words of great En-
gllsh thinker, elf the reasoning be clear,
solid, and pertinent, the truth deduced
can never be the less valuable on account
Of the depth from which it may have been
drawn" Let him discard, in dealing with
errors, that unhappy policy which decides
first TO attack them in their strong points,
and then, since the truth an error holds
embedded in it, is in one sense, its strong
est point, falls stsaightway upon the truths
they hold in bad alliance. Let him not
fret if men do make some false philoso-
phies, since God has not revealed all that
might be known, and a depraved heart is
misdirec,ing influence at the fountain
head of thought. Let him not be surpris.
ed if on all points adjacent to Gods doc
trines men desire TO know more than their
fathers, "This sacred hunger marks the
immortal mind" but only let him make it
his business to help them know more and
DO better. Let him recall often the dis
tinction between philosophical theories,
and religious doctrines. He should see
to it that the doctrine he carrie. to the
heather be 'sdefnite," but not sdead."
Giving his most penetrating intellectual
powers to the uses of the Spirit, he should
know thoroughlyw hat he knows OF Christ,
and have the witness of the Spirit that he
is born of God Through" il. Let him
carry to his pagan field the works of the
Edwardses, and Emmons, and Bethany,
and Ried, and Stuart, and Hamilton, and
the French and German writer who have
held spiritual philosophy, and let his
own soul he so close to THE CRoss that he
can see how all the light that is in them
pours upon that a radiance Of concentring
rays. Let him learn to lay his own
knowledge, and that Of those he would save,
meekly and with the spirit Of child,upon
the hos ON of REpEEMING Love.

Printers BOY.

Mr. Buckingham. in his 22nd number
Of the Croaker, published in the Boston
Courier, briefly notices the hands in the
printing Office in which he was first en-
ployed in Boston, and speaks Of the youn-
gest apprentice as follows:
"The third and youngest apprentice has
always Aoa,ed on the flood.tide of pros
peri,y, tide which knows no retiring
ebb. His duty was then, (like all young
apprentices, ITO make the fires, sweep the
Office, pick up the types that were dropped
on the floor, distribute the pi, and tread
the pel,s. Having passed through this state
Of tribnlation and finished his time Of SER
vice, he began business as printer in
State street, at the corner Of Flag Alley
locality which is now dignitied by the
name OF Exchange Avenue, where he and
his partner published weekly literary
journal entitled The Emerald.
"He removed to Charlestown, where he
published a well-known monthly religious
magazine, called the Panoplist. Return
ing after some years to Boston, he pursued
the business OF printing and published on a
more extended scale, and to that business
added the very natural one of bookseller.
His industry was untiring, his friends
wealthy and'wi!ling TO aid--his publications
popular with large and jealous religious
party, and his profits sure and rapidly in
creasing. He could not be otherwise
than rich; he retired from active business
many years ago, to enjoy the fruits of his
apterpriSeg and nerSeyerapcp Rut the
public required his services. He repre-
scented Boston several times in the Gene
raj Court, has been mayor OF the city,
Lieut.. Governor, and for the greater part
OF one year, acting Governor Of the Com
monw ealh.
"!ie has twice visited Europe, and
spent some years in London, Paris and
| Rome. His mansion is one of the most de-
lighltnl situations in the city and here he
| lives in an enviable state of ease, afllnence
and Independence. What a contrast is
exhibited in the early and present condi.
ton of,his gentleman And what con-
trast between his condition and that Of
most Of those who have been bis contem-
poraries from boyhood TO greyheaded old
age! Well, his wealth and honors have
been honestly and honorahly acquired
MAY he, too, live long, unmolested by the
moth and rust which corrupt earthly
treasures, and at the close, find all the
poges Of his life approvingly registered
1t is hardly necessary TO say that The

Mr. WH1rErIELD.--When Mr. George
Whitefield was in the zenith Of his popu-
larity, Lord Clare, who knew that his in
fluence was considerable, applied to him
by letter, requesting his influence at Bris-

this request Mr. Whitefeld replied, that in
general elections he never interfered; but
he would earnestly exhort his lordship to
use diligence to make his particular CALI

Now came the hour in which they had decreed,
Should fatal prove to Quebec's princely pride,
When all her beauty, should their feints succeed
Be rolpd in ruins round her mountain side,
And her strong tow'rs which long their might defed
And which as yet her greatest safety stood,
Der the hoar fields be scatter'd far and wide,
And her proud ranks lie weltering in their blood,
Heap her huge walls; alright with groans the de-
sert wood.
Uprose each leader from the couch he prest,
Himself attires and grasps the polsh'd blade,
Then round the camp did pass in winged haste,
Leap'd in the quarters where their soldiers laid,
Rous'd ev'ry soldier from his healthy bed,
And all in haste the imperious call obey,
Grasp up their arms and spring for the parade.
Where rank on rank advance in stern array
Shaking the camp with sounds which chide the
winds away.
The order formsd each leader at his post,
And now breaks forth the signal OF command,
Startling the gooms which overspread the cost,
Still deep'ning as it bursts along the land,
While to its echoes tramp that CHASTITY band
In four deep lines, two northward fercely pour,
And one along St Charles rocky strand,
Bold Arnold sweeps; while up from Lawrence'shore
The brave Montgomery bears and climbs that noun
tain hoar.
Ger Quebec's hills with tosome march they go,
Cropping their way amid the glooms Of night,
More dismal made by the descending snow
Which drives in fury on each soldiers sight,
But soon they catch the watch-fres fitful light,
And boldly thro' the whirling SHOWS they stain;
Soon Arnold's troops thro' Quebec spread alright;
But ah! the snow the northern lines detain,
Ere while Montgomery DER that rock heaves his
bold hardy train.
Still up that fatal pass that hero drives,
And all his soldiers emulate the deed,
Firmly resolv'd with him to spend their lives,
And follow where soccer he deign'd to lead,
Close to the rampant wall Montgomery draws,
Now stocks Of trees, sunk deep in earth impede,
Deny his pass; breach in these he saws,
And thro' the gap he rush'd impelrd by Freedom
cause.
On still he pours till Alhion's boastful host
Before him from their ramparts fed away,
And had he press'd then EDWARDS to that post,
Might won with ease the triumphs Of the day,
| But ali! how fatal often is delay;
He hal.s to bid his soldiers form in line,
When 10! British soldier where some cannon lay
Returned from whence he fled; with fell design,

Or CAKE.-One Of the best article.
for fa,tening cattle and for feeding out to
sheep, lambs, and calves, is "Oil-Cake,"
by that we mean what is left Of flax
seed after the oil has been pressed out
We never feed anything to young lambs
that made them as plump, fat, and happy
| as his. 1t contains all the necessary in
gradients which are required to supply
! the wants of the system in Young, grow
ing anmals-by which their bones and
their muscles Increase in size and strength.
| We have never made any experiments
as it regards the comparative value OF this
food, and the meal Of Indian corn, so as to
ascertain which, on the whole, is the most
economical; though for young animals, we
are satisfied that the oil-cake will suit the
digestive organs the best. For rearing
calves that are taken from the cow, it is
excellent. Messrs McAdams & Co., of
Belfast, in Ireland, some time since pub
lished paper upon this subject, to which
they make the following s,atement:-
..Haf pound of this meal is sufficient for
calf daily. The best way of using it Is
to steep a, the rate of quarter OF pound
for each feed, in cold water, for twenty or
twenty -four hours; then TO dilute with
| warm water, to the temperature OF new
milk, usually given, il any milk be g ive"'
pint of each feed is quite enough. -
"ihey also state that the general report
of farmers anI dairymen, who have con-
,inued the use of this meal for rearing
calves during the last three or four years.
is, that the calves are more healthy than
when fed on milk, and that there are few
er deaths it is very nutritive, and at the
same time keeps the stomach and mites
tines in cool and wholesome condition.
We have fed lambs with it, which, at
the same time, sucked their dams. In
such cases we gave it to them like meal
in dry state. They soon learned TO ea'
it, and having place in the shed into
which they could run without being fol:
lowed by the sheep, could thus be fec
very easily.-.haine Farmer.

lHPRovEMENT.-Ihls Is word oil very
comprehensive Specification, and when
used in reference to agricultural matters,
ought always to be understood in its broad
est sense.
Some farmers exhibit very commend
able spirit; endeavor to excel in their
calling, anI are always anxious to acquire
instruction and knowledge; while others
manifest the illiberal spirit; openly decry
every movement which does not quadrate
precisely with their own views, or which
is not strictly consentareous with the theo-
! ries and Evolutionary usages Of their pred
ecessors of darker age. They can, per-
haps, discourse "eloqnently," upon moot
ed points of 10 practical importance in
Metaphysics and theology, and often en-
gage in political discussions involving
questions too profound for the ablest states
man but on agriculture they rarely be-
stow a thought. They can plough, plant,
reap, and NOW, and this is the extent of
their capability of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the science they are as ignorant
and uniformed as though such did not ex-
isl. Visit their dwellings, and you will
find them without an agricultural paper ;
they patronise the party and sectarian pub
LEGATIONS of the day !; drink deeply at the
bitter fountains of polemical and political
di>putation, and are ever ready tc enlist
their energies in the promotion of any en-
terprise except that in which they are
most nearly interested and engaged.
1t is of little avail to reason or remon-
.trate with such people. Like Moses
Primrose, in the Vicar of Wakefield, they
make poor swap at best, and will find in
the end that they have exchanged for some
thing less valuable than tinsel spectacles
in shagreen cases, that which is virtually
ofintrinsic value and solid worth. NE Cal.

MANAGEMENT Of Horses.

We have no domestic animals among us
that costs us so much--that will do
greater variety Of work, or that is so much
used as the horse. Like his master, the
horse is complicated in his structure, and
is liable to great many diseases, and he
is capable Of being made to exert all his
powers of body in the efforts of speed and
severe labor. Nine-tenths of them are
cut off in the prime Of life. And yet by
care and attention, by kind and humane
treatment and feeling, he can be made to
live great many years, active and strong
Mr. Pell, of Pelham, has given some ex-
cellent rulestor the management Of horses,
which were published in the transactions
Of the New York Agricultural Society,"
Among the good ideas there advanced, he
observes: Feed them in winter on va
riety of food, such as oats, ground and
whole, bran, shipstuff, beans, peas, tur-
nips, occasionally steamed together, or
separately. In summer, keep them al
ways confined in airy stables, and feed
them on clover, bruised grain, green corn
stalks, cider pomace, oil-cake, hay, &c.
BE particular to give them three-fourths
of pound of salt per week occasionally
two ounces Of sulphur, and very frequent-
~ about two ounces of wood ashes.
By good keeping and judicious manage
ment, pair Of horses, perfectly sound
when young, will last and labor constant
ly Cor 25 years, and in the end retain their
spirits. have pair of horses, he OBJ
serves, on my farm that are twenty years
old, during which time they have never
been at pasture, and have worked daily +;
they have never been incapacitated for
work by lameness, or disease of any kind,
and have always been perfectly healthy
He also adds that he has another pair Of
sorre1s that are eighteen years old, which
labor daily, and do as much as any pair o.
six years old. The above statements Of
Mr. Pell are worth reading, and his advice
should be followed. Much loss would bt
prevented, and much suffering to usefu
animal warded off, while the long contin'
ued powers of labor would amply reward
the extra care thus bestowed, even if The
virtue of mercy to those brutes entrusted
10 our protectionweren not taken into accoun
