HASTE CHARACTERISTIC OF YOUNG AMERICANS

1t appears by the brief reply of Bishop DoASE the
President of Burlington College, New Jersey to the neat
address of Mr. BARTON Of the senior class that he intends
to celebrate, as long he lives the day which that
institution and the liberties of America were both found
ed In pursuance Of this resolution the Bishop pro-
nounced upon the FOURTH just past his annual address,
which is contained in pamphlet sent u.s. from which we
gathered the foregoing particulars Having said
thing Of this vigorous performance previous OCCASION
we propose only to make single extract which might
be taken haphazard but we win select what is said on
HASTE which the orator specifies among the dangers to
which the YoUHG AMERICAN is liable:
"a kindred DANGER the result Of this to which the
Young American LIABLE is haste The progress Of this
nation has been rapid that time has seemed to be of
Importance to it, And then the whole machinery Of
the age aims, may be, at its humiliation But
this Is very dangerous when God made the world he
made it in six days. II might have sprung instan-
taneous the light And when lie would complete the
plan Of its redemption He took four thousand years for
the development Of that which, in the oounses of the
Godhead was complete before the FALL These les
sons hearts No real greatness is spontaneous.
The oak not the monarch Of the woods short Of thou
sand years And man, the monarch Of the world is first
an embryo, and then infant, and then child and
has halfmcasured his allotted years before he is full
grown No matter in what il is in letters in science in
art in war; in government in any thing that to be for
greatness time must be TAKEN and deliberate thought
and patient labor be employed Think Of the studies of
Sir Isaac Newton. Think Of the touches of Raphael
Think Of the chise Of Canoya See by what heightened
process Rome grew up to be the mistress Of the world
Contemplate the slow march of Engands greatness And
remember how the Fathers Of our Republic waited and
watched, and toed, and prayed before the hour was
reached that this day And then pursue their
boodstaned footsteps through the seven years war; by
which the issues Of that hour were consummated and
made perpetual The Young American that would do
justice to his name must learn to wait What he do
well oil hand he can do better with deberaton There
is no royal road to real greatness and If there were Re-
pubcans should not adopt IT, We have greater issues in
our hands than before the Congress Vienna
And they ore IN hands with only God above Here
only of all nations Of the world the voice Of every
may be potential And us it is incumbent above all

THE treasure TRovE. When Alexander OF
Macedom was seeking realms to conquer, he met
with a people who lived in very remote and Oh
scure corner, who had never heard of war or con-
ouerers, and who enjoyed their humble cottages in
profound peace. They met the Macedonian king,
and conducted him to the dwelling OF their ruler,
who received him Hospitality, and set before him,
as feast, dates, figs and other fruits, made OF

to eat in thine own country, and that it was de-

I" 1t was not for your gold 1 come" replied AL
exander, " but desired to learn your customs"
" Even so then abide among as long % thou

While the ruler and the Grecan were CONVEX

rulers Judgment. The complainant spoke:

when was digging found treasure. The treas
ure is not mine, for purchased only the ground
never included in the purchase any hidden treas
ure but this man, who sold me the land, refuses
! to receive the treasure from me-.
The defendant now replied:
81 am as conscientious as my neighbor. I sold
him the GROUND, and everything that might be III
it; therefore, the treasure is justly his, and can
not take it."
The ruler took time to understand the case clear

! "Uast thou d son 2"

AGRICULTURAL Society. The suggestion in our
last relative the formation Of Agricultural So
ciety, though carried out, has had the effect of
awakening additional interest the subject. A
few of our farmers and mechanics already fully
impressed with the importance of such organiza-
ton, but disposed suspend their action until
general interest is felt. In this think they
err. Ten persons will be sufficient TO organize a
Society and it to work; and when once in opera
ton, and the people become acquainted with the plan
of tho Society and its Objects they cannot fail TO be-
come Interested in it. However long delayed, it will
rest with the few who have considered the subject
commence the work. Public spirited individuals
must step forward and take the lead
But having failed to get up meeting at the last
court Intelligent friend proposes that another effort
shall be made at the May term of County Court,
and that Professor Emmons be requested visit this
county that time and deliver lecture Agricu-
lure. 1t is capital suggestion and we throw it out
for the consideration of our friends. Prof Emmons
has yet visited Orange, though know it is
desired by many that he should do for the purpose
Of making geological survey. We do not know
what his arrangements are at present, but We hope it
may suit his convenience visit In May, and let
this section Of the State receive of the benefits
of his abors From some information recently COM
muncated to u.s. shall not be surprised if he finds
Orange most interesting field for his Investigations.
At all events should be pleased to see him among
us, and if he be induced visit May Court

In recent debate on The Florida Indians in the
Senate Gen. Houston made some remarks which do
him credit. We quote from them as follows. The
question was an amendment of Senator Mallory to
authorize the President to call into services force
sufficient 10 expel the Seuinoles:
Why press upon this little handful of Indians
Are the necessities of Florida great that extended
vast of country, with sparse population,
limits of their country for the investment of their
capital, without running in upon the hammockE of the
Indians, interfering with their fisheries and their
hunting grounds There is necessity for it. Let
a little forbearanee. Billy Bowlegs is not
such terrible scarecrow, or so anxious for war
when he cannot be advantaged by it, that he is 90
ing 10 invade the formidable State OF Florida. /
will not vote for the amendment. am satisfied that
any encouragement given TO the Executive of that
State will be succeeded by demands upon the Exc
cutive of the United StaieS-they will be i'm or-
tunate, and newspapers will get up stories of
bats, the most melancholy and terrible details will
be narrated, but all will be fustan last
Yet such tales will be circulated throughout the
United States, and there will be great cry raised of
the cruelty of the Indians and of their massacres of
the people the frontier The country will be alive
with the cry, and the people will be ready fly to
the standard of Florida TO defend her against few
hundred poor, miserable, half starved Indians whom
humanity requires that you hould feed rather than
exterminate. The Indians want justice, and l wish
there ADLER man than myself to stand up on
this floor and demand, in their behalf that Justice
shall be done them. Sir, they are despoed of every
thing. The territory is taken from Them They
robbed of their annuities, and the purchase money
for their lands is taken by feons. Is not this some
thing that should De looked at and considered They
have here to appeal in their behalf, to tell
their griefs and wrongs TO American ears; but it is
nevertheless that their history is history of
wrongs untold. If Senators, independent of their
position cannot stand forth and vndcate the wrong
ed Indian, where is he TO look but TO the Great Spirit
for redress?"

Spring Is coming-Spring in eo,n;n,
With her sunshine and her sbowa
Heaven is ringing with the singi"S'
Of the birds in brake and bowar
Buds are filling, leaves are sweiIin.
Flowers on field and bloom on ,rso
Ger the earth, and air, and ocean
Nature holds her Jubilee
Solt then stealing comes feeling
Ger my bosom tenderlv:
Sweetly / ponder, as I wander.
For my musink are of thee.
Spring is coming-Spring is comino,
With her mornings fresh and liubi.
With her Moons of Phequered elorI
Sky of blue and clouds of white
Calm grey nigh,falis, when the liob, fan
From the star bespangled sky. '''iS
While the splendor, pale and tende,
OF the young moon CLEANS On bigb
Still at mora, at noon, at even,
Spring is full of joy for me,
For l ponder as l wa nder,
And any musings are of thee.
Still on thee my thoughts are DWELLING
Whatso'er thy name may be;
Beautiful, beyond words telling
Is thy presence unto me.
Mornings breaking finds thee WAKING
Wandering in the breeze's flight:
Noonude's glory mantle's DER thee
In sho -''er of sunny light;
Daylight dying leaves thee lying
In the silvery twilight ray
Stars look brightly on thee nightly.
Till the coming OF the day.
Everywhere and every minute
Feel near thee, lovely one;
In the lark and in the linnet
can hear thy joyous tone.
Bud and blooming mark the coming
or thy feet Ger vale and hill;
And thy presence, with life's essence.
Makes the forests heart to fill.
Low before thee, | adore thee,
Love creative, thee sing;
Now l meet thee, and greet thee
By the holy name of Spring!
