Town and Country.

What eye can fail of being delighted, what
heart fail of being inspired, by the beautiful
face Summer-Nature wears in the country, on
every side The dwellers in the country en-
joy the glories of the year. No matter how
humble his rank and fortune among his fellows,
he is as rich in the possession and enjoyment
of the beautiful, spread above him in the skies
and around him on the earth, as though his
acres were countless and his treasures untold.
No covetous, monopolist hand can vail the
splendors Of the universe from his gaze. For
him the sun shines, the showers fall, the dews
gather and exhale, the buds expand into bios
SONS, the air murmurs, the waters glisten, and
the birds sing. Fragrance and melody are
round about him as a heavenly garment. God
has provided that he may enjoy the visible and
the soul of Nature, whether he be the tenant
of cabin palace.
In the country, away from the pent-up cities
and the blighting spirit of fierce, selfish, and
contentious trade, man can best see and know
how bountifully God has provided for him, as
for all; can best realize that the difference of
mems estates do not arise from the disposition
of Providence, but rather from the craft Of COW
etousness of man. The country, bearing all
over its bosom waving grain-felds, orchards,
'sgreen pastures, spicy shrubs, and odorous
flowers, and focks and herds, is eloquent with
the plenty God has bestowed on man, if he
would but SOW and reap, and divide his store
as benefciently as it is given to him. In the
city and mart, art and artifce have despoiled
all this beauty and glory-all these signs of
impartial Providence, and written in the place
thereof Here is mans world-the Town"
Who can doubt that the truest life is to live
in the countryl To live out amid the fields
and flowers, where the air is always balmy
and fresh; where nature is never niggard of
music and beauty; where valleys and hills,
yielding to the hand Of brave, happy toll, re-
fuse no blessing the earth can give. Out in
the country, where the seasons are not lost;
where Spring, and Summer, and Autumn, and
Winter have each distinctive garb, and each
brings its labors and its sports. Man may see
fewer faces Of men there; may find less Of fe-
verish excitement, Hypocrisy, and chicanery,
but where else can he see and find so much to
feed the springs of sensitive, intelligent being,
SO much to purify, refine, and exalt the brain
and heart. What spot, bounded only by the
horizon. so fair for the innocent years of child
hood; so charming to youth; SO consoling in
its repose for wearied manhood, or SO beauti-
full for the gathering, like ripe, golden sheaf,
of cid age
The town is but . place of business. Its
spirit is weaging and withering to all the gen.
erous instincts and emotions of mans heart

and soul. Man is consumed and lost in its
rushing currents. His cradle rocks there to a
discordant jar; his youth is jostled and des-
poiled of its bloom; his manhood is overborne
and palsied, and if, at last, he finds grave
there, careless feet perpetually tread on his
ashes. The country, alone, has the spirit to
preserve and culture whatever is most beauti-
full in man. Man in the country, occupied
with honest peaceful pursuits and meditation
is the happy man-the true man. He lives
all his days in the presence Of his Maker, and
Of beauties and enjoyments which no human
art can equal, no fortune, nor excitement sup

ers cut the grass. The way, therefore, may
be open for our products; and should Mr.. Wal
ker succeed in extending the facilities for fu-
ture commercial intercourse with this country
he will confer great boon on our trade. No
one is better fitted to promote such work,
and if it is not done, the fault, we are sure,
will not lie at the door of the administration or
of the minister.
It is gratifying to see the energy and prompt
itude with which Mr.. Walker is preparing for
his mission. He viii soon be on his way to
the scene Of his labors; and all who feel an in

will wish complete success to this important

WHITE WEEp.-Capt. Daniel Trefethen Of
this town, assures us that lie has discovered a
method for killing effectually, this plague Of a
''farmer's life" He says that the present
season, he had field, which was literally
covered with the blossoms Of the whitg weed
SO called, and having small quantity Of salt
on hand, the thought suggested itself to hlms
that possibly some benefit might accrue to che
field from the distribution Of it upon the sur
face. The act was "father 70 the thought
He scattered the salt over the field, and in
short time the blossoms al wishered, and upon
examination the roots wers found % Be entirely

GULLs' EGGs.-A correspondent Of the
Traveller, writing from Eastport, Me-, has the
following
''Among the various interests which engage
the attention of this eastern world, we would
mention the egg interest Perhaps many Of
your readers may not be aware of the fact that
an extensive traffic in Gulls' eggs is carried
on between this port and Boston. The eggs
Of these are gathered in great quantities along
the shores Of the adjacent islands during the
months of June and July, and shipped princl-
pally to Boston as market The egg gather
ers, at the proper season, 60 over their grounds
and destroy the first deposits, after which, they
daily collect and regularly ship.this ovarious
treasure to the Boston market. These eggs
very much resemble in form and sire those Of
the hen, and to the inexperienced are no doubt
equally as palatable, although here they are
very seldom reserved for home consumption,
being far less esteemed as deicacy, than in
the City Of Notions.

SIMPLE ELEcTRIFY1NG MAcHINE-Have i
dry tumbler glass upon the table; and place
thereon dry japanned tea-tray (notto large)
then take half sheet of foolscap or cartridge
paper, hold it before the fire till Quite dry and
warm, but not to scorch it; lay it flat upon
table, and with piece of India rubber give it
twelve or fourteen brisk rubs from left to right
Lift it quickly and carefully by the extreme
corners, and drop it upon the tray (it will fall
like lump Of lead.) On presenting the
knuckle to the edge Of the tray, spark an
inch long may be obtained; remove the paper
(by holding the corners as before,) and pre-
sent the knuckle again, you will now receive
second spark, (or rather the negative brush)
replace the paper, and you get the positive
spark again. This plan Of removing and re-
placing the paper may be repeated several
times, with once rubbing; but the electricity
should be perfectly discharged BY touching the
tray each time after drawing the spark.

PAYING FOR PAPER.-The following ex-
tract, we take from the Germantown Tele-
graph. 1t speaks the sentiments Of the Press
generally, when it says-''Except the cash
system is exclusively adopted and rigidly OBJ
served, we know Of no business whose bills are
so difficult to collect. This is not because the
subscribers are unwilling to pay, but it is prin-
cipally owing to pure neglect. Each one mn
agines that because his years Indebtedness
amounts to 50 small a sum, the printer cannot
be much in want Of that, without for mo-
ment thinking that the fruits Of his entire Busi-
ness are made up of exactly such little sums,
and that the aggregate of all the subscribers is
by no means considerable amount of money,
and without which the publisher could not for
a single month continue to issue his paper"

A Lady of Fashion.

A day or two since, says the Philadelphia
Sunday Mercury, while strolling along Ches-
nut street, we saw lady so superHly dressed
that the very sight of her suggested empty
pockets: Just as we paused for minute be-
fore the window Of picture store, this "lady
gay'' stopped also and entered into converse
ton with several Of her fashionable acquaiR-
tances as it seems, who were as richly dressed
as herself AT this instant-h6rrible to re-
late!-two children with "unkempt hair;"
begrimmed faces, and apparel of the most
wretched description, rushed up, and iinging
their arms around the superbly dressed lady,
exclaimed
"Ohl manfmy, papa says came home right
away, and nuss the baby, while he goes after
three cents worth Of coal to bile the taters

Readers; perhaps you have seen people hOr-
rifed and astonished-but you cannot imag-

picted in that lady's countenance. Well did
