"Does Clary love Annie Then he will prom
Use TO do one thing for Annie, won't he ?"
ooh, yes yes, Annie WHAT" he exclaimed.
She took his chubby little hand in her thin one,
and said very seriously
"Clarence, want you TO forgive that little boy
that hurt me. He is sorry, and will not do so
any more | forgive him, papa forgives him.
Won't you forgive him too, Clary 7"
The little boys cheeks burned crimson, till his
eyes looked CLASSY with gathering tears.
He drew back little behind the dress of his
mother, who had approached and seemed strug.
Cling with his stout, small heart
eff he had hurt me, 1 would forgive him p he
burst out at last; "but he hurt my sister Annie
and he ought TO be deadr
lie hid his face in the folds of his mothers
dress, and sobbed loudly
ooh, Clary," said Annie, sadly, oyou can't say
your prayers with such feeling. Don't yor
know it says, forgive those that tresspass agains
us and that means the little boy, Clary. Do
for sick sister Armies sake" she urged, "to make
me feel happy. do try to forgive him, won't you
brother?'
The boy stood, with his breast heavine high
for few minutes. 1t was very hard and ht
almost felt as if he could not and would not try t
forgive. But his sisters large loving eyes looked
upon him so bescechingly And then, there was
little voice pleading within his heart; it wa
the voice of conscience.
AT last making violent effort, with tears start
ing from both his eyes, he whispered, in sub
dued tone, "I'll try Annie" and ran out of tho
room.
The "ittle boy" was called to the house. l Dc
not know what was said to him, nor what sorrow
for his naughty deed he showed; but he wa
freely and fully forgiven. If he lives until III,
next fourth of July sun dawns upon the world,
am sure he will not dishonor that day by throw
ing "fire-brands, arrows and DEATH, among limo
cent girls, for fun.

farms, if they ever have any, will be very likely
to be in consequence oft
There was period in the history of Agricul-
ture in this State, there is one in the history of
Agriculture in all new States, where this igno-
rance is excusable. That is the period of early
settlement when there is an excess of land and
scarcity of men where continent with its fresh
and virgin soil lies all around, and there is found
hardly a man to till the ground. AT that period
and long subsequently,, labor is more expensive
than land, and the farmer finds it more advanta-
geous to use up fresh acres than TO hire laborers
or even TO buy manure, to renovate those already
exhausted. This is the era of large farms and
small crops where the number of acres and the
quantity of their products bear to each other an
inverse ratio.
But this period will and must pass away 1t
is to agriculture its dark age, its barbarous era
and therefore, in the nature of things must termi-
nate. Men multiply, but not the virgin SOIL
Laborers increase in number, and eby their
competition reduce Tie price of labor but tile land
is limited, God having circumscribed it by his
rivers and lakes, his seas and oceans. Nirginity
will not last always, and men must sooner or la
ter awake TO the fact, that they must learn TO in
crease the quantity, or improve the quality, of
their crops upon the same soil or cease 10 multi
ply themselves.
1t is true they are slow TO learn this, and am
fearful slow to act upon it. They will suffer, and
suffer on, before they will ask of science to lend
its aid to enable them to increase the produc-
tions of their soil. Your children, when grown
up, have left your homes desolate, and tracked
their way to the west. Do you know the rea-
son? They have reflected, and found if they re-
manned, that penury and want awaited them
They must have higher grade of agricultural
knowledge TO employ proftably labor and ma
nure, additional acres to up in their place.
You have not given them the first, and they
must find the last themselves. 1t is true and
proper to add, that this is by no means the only
cause of emigration that activity, enterprise, am
btion and even the spirit of adventure have all
had their share in producing it,

GALLONS LITERATURE-An English paper
says that the penny narratives of the executions
and last dying speeches and confessions have
been ascertained TO have been sold in the follow
ing numbers; OF Rush, $500, 600 the Man
nings, 100000; of Courvoisier l.G6G,000; of
Good, l,650,000 of Corder, 1,Gj0,000; of
Greenacre, 100000.
So is the seed sown for a new harvest of MUIR
ders and other crimes, which the world must
reap in blood and woe, as it ripens. The morbid
taste for the loathsome and sickening details of
the most horrible crimes, exhibited in the. above
facts is mainly one Of the results of capital pun
shment. 1t grows out Of the exciting and tragic
interest which surrounds the death of the often
der. Who believes that a thousandth part of this
interest could have been awakened by their dis
gushing tales if their doom had been confinement
in penitentiary or moral hospital, or Punishment
to some distant colony, where proper influences
might be used TO restore and reform them This
illustrates forcbly of the strongest arguments
against the penalty of death.-PenR. Freeman.

He's none the worse for that.

What though the homespun suit he wears
BEST suited TO the sons of toll y
What though on coarsest food he fares,
And tends the loom or tils the soil
What though no gold-leaf glds the tongue
Devoted TO congenial chat'
If right prevails and not the 1rrOng,
The man is none the worse for that.
What though within the humble cot
No costly ornament was seen;
What though the wife possesses not
Her satin gowns of black and green,
What though the merry household band
Half-naked fly TO ball and bat
If conscience guides the heart and hand,
The man is none the worse for that.
True worth is not thing of dress,
OF splendor, wealth, or classic lore
Would that these trappings we loved less,
And chung to honest worth the more
Though pride may spurn the toilng crowd,
The tattered garb, the crownless hat,
Yet God and Nature cry aloud
The man is none the worse for that

TIE PoULRY TRADE.-The poultry of the
United States is valued in the statistics at $780,
000,000--the state of New York having over
two million invested in it. In the egg trade the
city of New York expends nearly million and
a half of dollars, annually, The farmers of the
country are bestowing greater amount of atten-
ton to the raising of poultry, and it is probably
one of the best sources of revenue which they
can have

Old BootS.-We saw at the depot, few days
since, car load of these articles, bound to Bos-

Dealers in the city send their agents all over

again and sold at great profit. Old rubber also,
which is collected from house to house, and for
which ii and l6 cents are paid, is sold again in
Boston for 80 cents, to be re-manufactured.

placed at the door of the hall in Philadelphia to
give notice to the old belman in the steeple when
the Declaration of Independence should have
been signed. The old man waited long at his
post, saying,-"They will never do it, they will
never do it," when he heard shout below,
" Ring Ring !" Grasping the iron tongue of
the bell, backwards and forwards he hurled it a
hundred times, proclaming liberty to the land &

Atlantic, pierced the dungeons of Europe, the
workshops of England, the vassal fields of France
Tile sound spoke to the slave, babe him look
