FARMERS SONG.
BY W. L. EATON.

"A rural life is the life for me-
Away from the city's strife,
Where the breath of Heaven is pure and free
And natures full OF life;
Where the earth is clothed with lovely green
The flowers smiling and fair,
And the wisdom of God is distinctly seen,
In all that tiouriShes there
We do not envy the man of trade,
Whose life is with cares oppressed
Who only is happy as wealth is made,
And not when others are blessed;
His life bound up in his merchandise,
His heart absorbed in bis gains,
The beauty of earth shut out from his eyes,
But not from his soul its pains,
We have nothing to do in ambitions ways.
Aud do not envy the great
Pulled up by the hollow voice of praise,
And perplexed with the cares of state
Elated with hope or depressed with fear,
They must run when the people call -
We are happier far in our humble sphere,
Than they i'll the Nationals hall.
The gifts of Heaven are freely bestowed,
The harvest our labor crown;
No despots can reach our peaceful abode,
We quail at no tyranfs trowns.
A rural home is the home we love,
Away from the city strife,
We bow TO none but the God above
None know q happier life.

of Marsh. One Of her relatives, long
since dead, received them in exchange
from the hand of Washington him

and they have since come into the pos>
session of the lady referred to, by reg

the style we have been accustomed to
see in the books upon the nose of Red

Why JACK NEVER GOT MARRIED-A Jack

and replied
Its Just this When | was younker
not more than eighteen, | came athwaft as
snug little craft as ever run afore the wind,
bore up and hove TO along side OF her and
spoke to her, as she hoisted friendly eolors
Well we smiled in company awhile, and
finally she said she'd let me convey her
through the voyage of life.-So consents,
and lays in stores, gets new rig, below and
aloit, and started for the parson to splice us.
Well commodore would you believe it just
as we were entering the straits Of the church
a light cruiser came athwart of our course
and running down spoke her The chap
proved to be an old cruiser of hers that she
thought had gone to Davy's Locker So
he axes her to heave TO and come under his
lee. She cast off her llawsers from me, and
before | could under mannuver, she was
under his quarter. | went into action at

six minutes when he struck. The she craft

STEAMSHIP ALANTIc.-I In reference to
this still missing vessel, the Baltimore
correspondent ofthe Washington Union
in his letter Of the 9TH inst, says:
Captain Lowber, of the ship Star of
the West, now loading at this port, for
Liverpool, states that he was in Liver.
pool few days before the departure of
the Atlantic, and that he met with Cap.
tain West at the American reading
room. Observing that the captain ap,
peared to be depressed in spirits, he
asked what was the matter He re-
piled that he was all the time thinking
Of his vessel, and had great fears for
her safety in these western passages !;
for" said he, 1--WE carry so much
steam that if we strike an iceberg
nothing could save her-her destruc
ton would be inevitable" This was
the substance of the conversation, and
taken in connection with the fact of
the early appearance Of ice in the At.
lantic this year, may have been fore
shadowing on his mind of her ultimate
fate.

ABORIGINAL REMAlNs.--A recent flood
on the river Dan, in North Carolina,
by washing away the embankments,
has disclosed numerous skeletons of
human beings, pieces Of earthern>ware,
Indian utensils, &c, which seem to
have been suddenly buried by some
catastrophe, not unlike an avalanche
of earth from an eminence. Some of
the skeletons are found in a sitting
posture and are nearly perfect. A va
riety of curiosiies are found in con.
ncclion with them. There seems to
be no doubt that they are the bones of
Indians, traces of whose encampments
on the banks of the Dan are still visi-
BILE 4; but how they came to be buried
in the condition found is a mystery.
Exchange.
The mystery is entirely solvable by
the fact that many of the indian tribes
usually bury their dead in a sitting
posture. AS to trinkets, ETC., every
one knows that such things are always
buried with the deceased Indian.

The Federal Union.

We have culled the following Interesting

how that Union should be regarded

IN 1857.
On the 4th of July 1776, the several col.
onies having met by their delegates in Con-
gress, declared that "they are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent States"
They met again in April and November
1777, to form articles of Confederation. On
the 1st of March 1871, the articles of the
old Confederation, proposed on July s, 1779,
were finally ratified That this was not
National but Federal Government-orig-
mating in mutual compact between the
States who acceded to it, will not be denied
Art. l, The style of this Confederacy skal

same at present used. The phrase United

of independent States.

FARM ExPERIEycE.--Twenty years expe-
rience upon farm has taught me that one
acre Of land, well manured and titled, will
produce more than two acres which receive
the same amount Of labor and manure.
That one COW, well fed, will be of more
profit than two kept on the same fodder.
This will also apply to all other stock.
That one ton OF hay, cut when the grass
begins TO blossom, will produce as much
milk as two tons cut when the seed is ripe.
That herds grass and clover will run out
on good land in few years, if cut early
That the farmer needs patience, persevcr.
ance, good Judgment, and experience.
That, "if by the plow man would thrive
himself must either hold or drive" But
good economy is Of more importance TO the
farmer than hard labor.
That cold water is the best drink, un
bolted meal makes the best bread.

Is worth four times its cost TO the farmer
