examining the local suitableness Of that in-
teresting place, or its contiguous grounds,
for the purpose of the proposed Asylum for
invalid and superannusted soldiers. The
associations of that vsnerated spot would
impart to it peculiar fitness for such an

FARMERs.--Adam was farmer, while
yet in Paradise, and after his fall was COM
manded to earn his bread by the sweat Of
his brow. Job, the honest, upright and pa
tient, was farmer, and his stern endurance
has passed into proyerb.
Socrates was farmer, and so welded
to his calling the glory Of his immortal phi
losophy. st. Luke was a farmer, and di-
vides with Prometheus the honor Of sub
iecting the OK for the use of man.
Cincinnati was farmer, and the noblest
Roman of them all. Burns was farmer,
and the muse found him at his plow, and
filled his soul with poetry.
Washington was a farmer, and retired
from the highest earthly station to enjoy
the quiet of rual life, and present to the
world its spectacles of human greatness.
To these names may be added host Of
others who sought peace and repose in the
cultivation Of their mother earth; the en-
thusiastic Lafayette, the steadfast Pickerin,
the scholastic Jefferson, the fiery Randolph,
all found an El Dorado Of consolation from
life's cares and troubles in the green fields
and vervant lawns that surrounded their
.3ddreys.

and in less time than an hour, heard call
at the yard fence, "Ob! Jack, come out"
Old man Hoover went in advance to the
door, and seeing Elliott with his gun raised,
demonstrated with him and desired him 10
leave, endsavoring to shame him from his
purpose. He still held his position. Jno.
s. Hoover then made his appearance, and
seeing the threatening position of Elliott,
who now cooked his gun, jumped behind .

dwelling house. Here he stood, while old
man Hoover still demonstrated with Elliot
to no purpose. Young Hoover then en-
deavored to reach the dwelling house from
his position, when Elliot fred upon him, the

IL The London Times, reviewing the
present state Of Europe, acknowledges its
fears that the existing calm in the political
elements islikely to be but temporary. The
revolutionary principle has been checked,
but neither subdued nor conciliated; and
the two parties, the one of progress, and
the one of established Institutions, seem to
pause from contest in which neither was
exactly certain of its real position. Il
In allusion to the popular outbreaks 10
lS4S, in France, Germany and Italy, and
to the measures Of repression resorted to,
the Times:
"Every Government Of the Continent has
been from that time forth under arms
Every sovereign has prepared for personal
defence; and the Courts of Europe are like
places fortified against an enemy in the
field. Military ornaments, hardly equalsd
in the grestest wars, cover the most civil
lied countries and exhaust the energies of
the people. Authority has assumed the
arms and accepted the alliance of despo-
tism, since freedom descended to violence
aud appealed to the passions Of Ievolu-
tion. Between such extremes therei is little
to choose, for both are equally remote from
that standard of liberty and order to which
this country happily adheres. But the deep
est disgrace rests,in our opinion, upon those
who frst degraded the liberal cause by the
abuse they made of it, and then exposed it
to conflict in which it has been inevitably
worsted; while the danger now pressing
most heavily upon the future is that, as
nothing has been done since the restoration
Of tranquility to regain the confidence and
gratitude Of the people, the struggle will
one day be re ecewed, and the world IS threat
ensd BY long alteration Of popular license
and military oppression. ...,, ......
