The Farmer and Artist

" Of what use is all your studying and
your books 2" asked an honest farmer Of
an ingenious artist. "They don't make
the corn grow. nor produce vegetables for
market. My Sam does more good with his
plough in one month, than you can do with
your book and papers in one year."
What plough does your son use p
said the artist, quietly.
"Why. he uses IS plough. He can
do nothing with any other. By using this
plough We save half the labor, and
raise three times as much as we did by the
old wooden concern
The artist turned over one Of his sheets
and showed the farmer the drawing of his
much praised plough. saying. with smile
! am the inventor Of your favorite
plough, and my name is
The astonished farmer shook the artist
heartily by the hand, and invited him to
call at the farm. house, and make it his
home as long as he liked.

Effect Of Prosperity.

How unavailing worldly prosperity is
since in the midst Of it almost a
single disappointment is sufficient to EN-.
bitter all its pleasures. We might at first
imagine, that the natural effect Of prosperi-
ty would be, to diffuse over the mind a
prevailing satisfaction, which the lesser
evils Of life could not rufle or disturb
We might except that as one in the full
glow Of health. despises the inclemency Of
weather; so one in possession of all the
advantages of high power and station
should disregard slight injuries and, at
rfecte pease with himself, should view, in
the most favorable light, the behaviour Of
others around. Such effects would indeed
follow, if worldly prosperity containedin
itself the true principles ofhuman felicity.
But as it possesses them not, the very re-
verse Of those consequences generally OBJ
tains. Prosperity debilitates, instead Of
strengthing the mind. Its most common
effect is, to create an extreme sensibility to
the slightest wound. II forments
impatient desires /; and raises expectations
which no success can satisfy. II fosters a
false delicacy, which sickens in the midst
Of indulgence. By repeated qualification
it blunts the feelings of men to what is
pleasing and leaves them unhappily &C.
cute to whatever is uneasy. Hence, the
gale which another would scarce feel, is to
the prosperous. rude tempest Hence the
rose leaf doubled below them on the couch
as it is told Of the effeminate Sybrate
breaks their rest. Hence, the disrespecl
shown by Mordecai, preyed with such VIC
lence ON the heart of Haman. Upon nc
principle Of reason can We assign a sufii
incidentuse for all the distress which THU
cient ca occasioned him. The cause lay
not in the external incident. 1t lay within
himself it arose from mind distempered
by prosperity.

The Old Turnpike.

We hear no more the changing hoof,
And the stage coach rafting bvs:
For.the steam. king rules the travelled world,
And the old pixies left to die
The grass creeps Ger the flinty path,
And the stealthy daisies steal,
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
NO more the weary Btager breads
The toll Of the coming morn; t
NO more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn;
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And the bright eyed children play
Where once the Gathering hoof and wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more we hear the cracking whiu.
Or the strong wheels rumbling round
All. ali, the water drives us on,
An iron horse is found!
The coach stands rusting in the yard.
And the horse hath sought the pillow;
We have spanned the world with an iron
rail,
And the steam king rules us now!
The old turnpike is pike no more,
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made US road for our horse to
stride,
Which we ride at flying rate.
We have filled the valleys and levelled the
hills,
And tunneled the mountains side;
And round the rough crag's dizzy verge,
Fearlessly on we ride
On-on-on-with naughty front -
A puff, shrek, and bound
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To babble back the sound;
And the old pike-road is left alone,
And the stagers sought the plow;
We have eircled the earth with an iron rail,
And steam,k king rules us now!
