spirits should make their ROBINS ID
cheerful as possible, and avoid late
hours and innutricious food. Sidney
Smith thus illustrates the effect of in,
digestion: my friend surs late; he
eats some strong soup, then lobster,
then some tart, and he dilutes these
esculeht varieties with wine. Tho

ing to sell his house in London. Ho
is alarmed for his eldest daughters
health. His expenses are hourly in
creasing, and nothing but a timely rc-
treat eau save him from ruin. All
this is the lobster, and Ahefi over-ex>
cited nature has had time to manage
this testaccous ehcuthbrance the daugh.

order, and every rural idea effetthall7
excluded from his mind" Evcty
man who has thoughtfully considered
the causes of his own low spirits, at
times must have come to q like cons
clusion. Often when we are oppressed
by a disagreeablo dream. we seem, at
the very moment, to be conscious that
we are dreaming, and that the danger
to which we seem exposed is all imagS
mary. This consciousness sometimes
relieves the terrors of incubus. If in
real life, the illusions which spring
from disordered stomach or excited
nerves could be go estimated, the a.
mount of human happiness would be
greatly increased. When man is
troubled with fit Of the blAes, les
him reason upon the subject, and con-
slider that these low spirits come from
some trihing arrangement of the di>
gestive functions, and the spell will be
broken; sunshine will dispel the clouds;
and the mental gloom will vanish.
Physical activity will often drive away
melancholy. If one is morish and
dull let him fly to the fields and en-,
gage in healthy labor, or to the woods
or streams in quest Of fish or game,
In this way the mind will be diverted
from its own disquietude, and cease
to prey upon itself. The feelings can
usually be controlled, or at least mods
flied. If sad thoughts be fostered,
melancholy becomes a habit, and the
victim Of it becomes a pecvish, fret
full and disagreeable companion. 1t
is mans duty to be cheerful and to
practice abstinence and self denial,
that he may secure such a physical
diathesis as will produce glad heart.
"The longer l live," says the author
above quoted, "the more l am con-
vinced that the apothecary is of more
Importance than Seneca, and that half
the unhappiness of this world proceeds
from little stoppages from duct cho-
ked up, from food pressing in the
wrong place, from vexed duodenum,
or an agitated pylorus." E. D. S.

The Farmers Future.

An English correspondent of the
New York Tribune expatiates on the
prospective introduction of steam pow
er as an aid in agricultural operations,
as follows -" Tho farmers future
will be found in the application Of
steam to the cultivation Of the soil
We are rapidly coming to the conclus
sion here that the good old plow is 1
humbug. We begin to think that
spade husbandry applied by steam is
the right thing; indeed, there are
some among us Of the opinion that a
machine may bo invented which
should, in effect, plow, SOW, harrow
and roll altogether--a machine, in fact
which should make a seed>bed and
SOW the seed all at one operation.
There has already been one steamer.

The Relations of Ill Health to Ill
Nature.

Sidney Smith says: "Old friend
ships are destroyed by toasted cheese,
and hard salted meat has led to sui
eide" The condition of the stomach
often determines the state of the TEN.
per. Indigestion begets irritability
in the sufferers waking hours, and in
cubus during sleep. johnson says:
"Every man is a rascal when he is
sick" Few men can be gentle and
patient under suffering. Shattered
nerves lay the foundation Of many bit.
ter quarrels. 1t is the tendency of
pain to produce moral disquiet in all
within the sphere Of its influence.
Its common language is that Of COM
plant and objurgation. Horace says:
- Valeat possessor
81 comportatis rebus bene cogitat uti
"Thc fond possessoT must be blessed with
health
Who rightly means to use his hoarded
wealth.
Good health and domestic comfort are
moro nearly allied than people COM
monty imagine. Some people possess
constitutionally a calm and equable
temper. Perpetual sunshine ever
rests upon their brows. They never
know excessive JOY or excessive sor-
row. Such people, however, are not
the best companions. Hutaan society
resembles natural scenery. The
boundess prairie or monotonous plat
eau is not the most animating to the
soul of the traveller. Variety lends
charm to the prospect. An inter-
change of hill and vale, of mountain
torrent and peaceful rill, is more fas-
cinating than a dead level. So it is
with human life. If all persons were
destitute Of excitement, society would
be dull and repulsive. 1t often hap
pens that those who are most elated
in company are most depressed at
home. Such persons are lauded for
their good fellowship in public, while
they shed a gloom over the family
circle. Such extremes Of animation
and melancholy are never desirable.
There is a proper medium, a happy
union Of the social and domestic quail
tiles which makes a man beloved both
at homo and abroad. This cheerful
temperament is often disturbed by the
physical health, by the aspect of the
walls of the house or Of the surround
ing landscape. Persons subject To low

relations and in tho companionshp of
those whom he loved best, his happiness
was unalloyed probably as perfect as
is ever allotted to humanity. twas al
so his rare felicity, to render those who
were in bis intimacy, shaters of much Of
his own joy. The circles he moved in,
are darkencd forever; for his light is
out, and cannot be replaced.
AS public speaker, he was efiiuently
attractive and interesting. He was
ready, apt, and self.possessod. lie had
rare force Of expression, and could con-
vey bis meaning in clear and precise
terms. He had faculty to impart &c.
niality to the dricst subjects even legal
argumcnts-the most unipteresting pro-
cesses, generally, of human thought.
1t has been well said, that the most
important fact concerning a man is his
religion. We accept the truth of this
saying, with the provision, that we un.
derstand, not merely or mainly, his spec.
ulativc belief, but his inner life, and its
external fruits Our beloved friend, as
has already been hinted, made a public
profession Of religion, early in life. This
solemn formality, was to him sign of
an induction to the spiritual kingdom Of

without pang of distrust, commencing

In conclusion, wo have reason to say
that his character was eminently sym.
metrical and complete He possessed a
well balanced mind. lie had devout
and noble soul, lie was equally remov.

never disappointed expectation, lie new

never wanting to his duty. He was
famous for doing just tho right thing in

November.

The wild November comes at last
Beneath veil of rain
The night-wnd blows its folds aside
Her face is full of pain.
The latest Of her race, she takes
The autumu's vacant throne;
she has but one short moon to live,
And she must live alone
A barren realm Of withcred fields,
Bleak woods and falling leaves;
The palest morn that ever dawned
The d:earicst of ewes.
1t is no wonder that she comes,
Poor month with tears of pain;
For what can one so hopeless do
But weep, and weep again 2
