New England Gossip.
DEAR HAIL. propose gossipping a little of
the weather, crops, &c. Here in New England
we have had most beautiful Spring. The warm,
genial Sun, aud the refreshing April showers
chased away the lingering winter in March,
and sent forth the plant and the flower, and the
green leaf in due season. Ever since then, have
we had timely rains to gladden. the grass, and the
gardens, that while am now writing, l hear
the whetting of scythes, and men bending to
their work in the meadow hard by. The hay
crop will be heavy this season in this latitude.
Last evening we had fine shower, and o-day
Nature comes forth with clean face to smile up
on the aborer. Even the birds leap for joy, and
have come in swarms to the maple tree by my
window, to tell me how happy they are. The cat
tie that saw painting with beat yesterday in the
pasture just over the little hill my right,
now capering, believing, and having regular CO.
tlliou, deeply do they sympatlize with the glad
ness of the morning. The school children that
pass with satchel and basket in hand TO learn their
daily tasks, walk more briskly than heretofore !;
and laugh, and run, and leap, with more glee.-
They. too, feel the cool bracng effects of the puri
fed atmosphere. The probability is. that we shall
some yield from the gardens this summer. The
farmers, mechanics. and men of all professions are
full of hope and manifest uneasiness to
what they shall eat where they shall go for
their bread, or how much they shall pay. Does
the farmer realize the importance of his vocation?
He might did he but watch the influence which
the abundance meargerness OF his fields of grain
have upon the marts of business. Even State St.
in Boston, feels drou,h, though remote from that
great emporium of wealth AMI fashion; so intimate
is the relationship existing between the interests
of all classes. We are mutually dependant upon
each other-all upon Him.
There is still much fogyism in old Massachu-
setts, as radical as she claims to be. 1t runs
through her politics. her morals and religion. Even
in III village. thoush sending Fee Soiler to the
Constitutional ConveAtion, we have clergyman
who contends that Slavery is Diriae institution
and the Fugitive Slave Law, righteous Law !
And what is more than all, he has wealth and in
fiuenee enough TO sustain him, although many
have left the church in disgust. He thinks, il it
be not Incompatible with Gods Justice to Danish a
portion of his offspring into eternal bondage by and
/ by, it is not, to permit, and even command por-
ton of them here: especially when they snatch
ed from benighted heathea land, and placed among
an enlightened people. ALI what astute theolog.
ical politicians we have in these days! The
J Beeehers, and Chapius of the day must not be
too presu,nng against such piles of logic. By the
way speaking Of that clergyrnau. reminds me of ar
anecdute friend of mine relates My friend is
halter by trade, and was called upon by our ogica
divine to make him hat. The measure was ia
ken, and my friend proceeded to select block &C
cotding to the measurement. What was his per
plexity to find that he had not block in The shol

wing it down two or three sizes he made out 10 ge
