! INTELLECTUAL IMPROVEMENT AMONG
[ FARMEHs. The advantages of intellectual
improvement among farmers, are (some of
them at lea-t) as follows:
lst, The sounder the root, the more Wig
orous is the tree the hrmer the lounda-
tion The more steady the building; the
purer the fountain, the clearer the stream.
The improvement Of the agricultural mind
strengthens this root, cousolidates this
foundation, purides THIS fountain. Hence
tie whole nation Is benehued.
2i. The Improvement OF taste in the fine
arts, developed ia landscape gardening, ar
chitecture, &c, will beauuiy the country,
draw closer the cords OF patriotism round
every heart, aud exalt aud purify the feel
lngs connected with our native land.
3D. 1t viii greatly increase the respect
with which tie American character is re-
garded abroad
1lh II will have a moderaiing effect on
political contentious, when the public mind
is liable To imposition; more determined on
having men OF integrity aud worth to rep
resent them in our national assemblies
and better capable TO Judge of that worth.
9th. Prejudice, that mighty opponent Of
all reason, improvement and truth, will be
in a great measure abaied.

SANDER.

The crime ofslander cannot easily be es-
timated. 1t originates ia meanness OF
spirit or ia an uumanly love ofgossPPing, or
IN that calculating rascalty which destroys
character for selfish ends. In its influence
upon the tcalumnator himself, scarcely any
sin is more demoralizing. 1t pelrllies be-
neyolent sensiblityi it stimulates those VI
cious feelings which, when fully developed,
make men haters of their kind. 1t IS The

which life is burden. To the more suscep-

My Life is like the Summer Rose,

The following verses were written by gen.
llcman, not long deceased, who used formerly
to be in Congress as n Senator from Georgia
[ Hon, II, II. Wilde). His residence was on
Tampa Bay, where he had resided with his
mother and sisters, surviving them ALL and for
many years leading solitary life there, until
his death 1t was stated with the account of
his death, that much of his time was spent in
pacing the shore of the Bay;
My life is like the summer rose
That opens TO the morning sky,
And ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground-,o die;
Yet on the roses humble bed
The softest dews fnight are shed,
As though she wept such waste TO sec
But none shall drop tear for me.
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moons pale ray;
It's hold is frail--its date is brief
Restless-and soon to pass away
Yet when that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The wind bcwai the leafiess tree
But none shall breathe sigh for me!
My life is like the track of feet
Left upon Tampas desert strand
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
Their marks shall vanish from the sand;
Yet, as il gricving to cfface
All vestige Of the human race,
On that lone shore loud moans the sea
But none shall thus lament for me.
