A Jersey NeWSDaper Doo.

We published, a few weeks since, a
notice of dog belonging to Mr.. Hawes,
of Boston, which goes regularly every af-
ternoon to the Office of the Traveller for
his masters paper. The Patterson Guar
dian makes us acquainted with faithful
Jersey dog, even more remarkable than
his sagacious compeer. He belongs to
John Anderson, Esq, of Hackensack, and
is daily in the habit of obtaining his own
er's paper. A few minutes previous to
the regular time of the arrival of the Hobo
ken siege, he takes his station at his own
er's step, and on the passage of the stage,
goes out to meet it. If the driver neglects
to throw it off, the faithful dog follows the
stage, barking the meanwhile, until the
driver performs his duty.
Having obtained the paper, he hastens
to deliver it to his master. Though the
Fort Lee stage passes the premises at or
about the same time, and resembles to a
considerable extent the Hoboken stare in
appearance, it is permitted to go on with
out being molested.

The Tower Chapel.

One of the most eloquent passages in
Macaulay's History is that in which he
describes St. Peters chapel, in the Tower
where SO many illustrious victims of Eng
lish tyranny lies buried. The paragraph
occurs in the closing part of the account
of the execution of the unhappy Duke Of
Monmouth.
1.-The head and body were placed in a
coffin covered with black velvet, and were
laid privately under the communion table
of St. Peters chapel, in the Tower. With
in four years the payment of that chancel
was again disturbed, and hard by the re-
mains of Monmouth were laid the remains
of Jeffries. In truth there is no sadder
spot on the earth than that little cementry.
Death is there associated, not as in West
minister Abbey and ST Paul's, with genius
and virtue, with public veneration and i'm
perlshable renOwn; not, as in our humbles,
churches and church yards, with every
thing that is most endearing in social and
domestic charities, but with whatever is
darkest in human destiny, with the savage
triumph OF implacable enemies, with the
Inconsistency, the ingratitude, the coward
ice of friends, with all the mseries Of fall
len greatness and of blighted fame.
"Thither have been carried, through
successive ages, by the rude hands of jail
ors, without one mourner following, the
bleeding relics of men who had been the
captains of the armies, the leaders of par
ties, the oracles of senates, and the orna-
ments of courts. Thither was borne be-
fore the window where Jane Gray was
praying, the mangled corp Sc of Guilford

Somerset, and protector of the realm, re-

A LAWYERS Trick.

A remarkable instance is remembered
IN Westminster Hall, of lawyer acting
in the face of the jury, at the critical mo-
ment of their beginning to consider their
verdict. He had defended gentleman of
rank and fortune against charge of an
atrocious description. He had performed
his part with more than his accustomed
zeal and skill. AS soon as the iuc.ge had
summed up, he tied up his papers deliber-
ately, and with face smiling and easy,
but carefully turned towards the Jury, he
rose and said, loud enough to be generally
heard, that he was engaged to dinner, and
in SO clear case there was no occasion
for HIM TO wait what must be the certain
event. He then retired, deliberately bow
ing to the court. One of the jurors having
occasion to leave the court, found that all
this confidence and fearless ness had never
crossed its threshold-for behind the door
stood Sir James Scarlet, trembling with
anxiety, his face the color of his brief, and
awaiting the result of ''the clearest case in
the world in breathless suspense.

Education of Farmers.

Elisha Whittlesey, in his address before
the Agricultural Society of Montgomery
county, Md, remarks
ssFarmers, and sons of farmers should,
qualify themselves for discharging the du-
ties of the various offices under the State
and General Governments; and thereby
commend themselves TO the respect and
confidence of their fellow cliizens. Such
are the facilities for gaining information,
that every farmer having taste for reading
NAV be so well instrr cted in cheml stry
and botony, as to decide with great accu ra-
cy, the different qualities of soils, and their
fitness Cor the various crops he may wish
10 cultivate.
"Various agricultural publications, some
one of which is within the means of every
man to procure, contain valuable informa-
tion. We owe debt of gratitude to John
S. Skinner, your fellow-citizea, for his
early and more recent efforts to dissent
nate information among the agriculturists.
His writings are invaluable in the hands of
every person employed in agricultural or
mechanical pursuits. The American Far
mer, which he first established still main
tans lis well-earned character, and is ably
conducted by its intelligen, editors.
The tribute paid to the agricultural pub
locations of our country, by Mr.. Whittle-
sey, has been eminetly deserved, and by
none more than John S. Skinner. Few
men haverendered such service with the
pen TO the cause of agriculture, as this en-
lightened and able man.

There is, perhaps, no surer mark of fol-
ly than an attempt to correct the natural
infirmites of those we love. The finest
composition of human nature, as well as
the finest china, may have a flaw in it;
and this, in either case, is equally incura-
BILE; though nevertheless, the pattern may
remain of the highest value.-FSelding.

FOB WHAT SHALL MAN LIVE!
BY CHARLES GAvAN DUFFY.

Brother, do you love your brother7
Brother are you all you seem7
Do you live for more than livingf
Has your life a law. and scheme?
Are ou prompt TO bear its duties,
As brave man may beseem'
Brother, shun the mist exhaling
From the fen Of pride and doubt;
Neither seek the house of bondage.
Wailing straitened souls about;
Bats. who from their narrow spy hole,
Cannot see a world without!
Anchor in no stagnant shallow
Trust the wide and wondrous sea,
Where the tides are fresh forever,
And the mighty currents free;
There, perchance oh. young Columbus,
Your New World oftruth may be.
You must strive for better guerdons;
Strive TO BE the thing you seem;
Be the thing tha: God hath ma de you
Channel for no borrowed stream.
He hath lent you mind and conscience;
See you travel in their beam.
See you scale lifs's misty highlands
By this light of living truth!
And d-with bosom braced for labor,
Breast them in your manly youth;
So when age and care have found you,
Shall your downward path be smooth.
Fear not on that rugged highway,
Life may want its Law ful zest;
Sunny glens are in the mountain,
Where the weary feet may rest,
Cooled in streams that burst forever,
From loving mothers breast.
simple heart and simple pleasures"
So they write life's golden rule;
Honor won by supple baseness,
State that crowns a canksred fool.
Clean as gleam the gold and purple
In hot and cid pool.
Wear no show Of wit or science,
But the gems you've won and weighed
Thefts, like ivy oil ruin.'
Make the riffs they scentto shads;
Are you not thief and beggar.
In the rarest spoils arrayed!
Shadows deck sunny landscape,
Making brighter all the bright;
So, my brother care and danger
On a loving nature light,
Bringing all its latent beauties
Out upon the common sight.
Love the things that God created.
Make your brothers. need your care;
Scorn and hate, repel Gods blessings.
But where love is. THEY are there
As the moonbeams light the waters,
Leaving rock and sand-bank bare.
Thus. my brother grow and flourish,
Fearing mono and loving all;
For the true man needs no patron
He shall climb, and never crawl;
Two things fa shion their own channel
The strong man and the water fall.
