unanity as strong towards the

Of land, and one penny a pound on
tobacco, exported from Virginia
and Maryland. These acres are
sometimes termed the Virgin Mary
land. The cultivation Of the mind
aud the land are not always so
happily connected. According to
writer in the Washington Union,
the region of county in the Valley
Of the Amazon and the Atlantic
slopes of South America is the rich
est and most fertile soil in the
world,-the rapid production and
constant decay Of vegetable matter
for thousands and thousands of
years having made the soil rich with
vegetable mould. Yet its vast riv-
ers are not opened to navigation,
its forests to settlements, nor its soil
to cultivation. A fine country for
the messengers of commerce, the
immigrant, the steamboat, the axe,
the plow and the hoe.--Miss
Mary Brice, maiden lady of New
Scotland, n. Y. gives the following
account Of her COW:
From November | lth to Febru-
airy last past, there was made from
her milk one hundred and three
pounds Of butter, although to keep
her calf well fed, the milk was
SKINNED before all the cream which
would have risen had time to do so.
Ia this way 1t is estimated that one
! pound of butter week was lost
making the fair yield III pounds.
Her feed during most of the time
consisted Of the cleaning of poor
pasture, and four quarts of buck
wheat bran twice a day. The val
tie is thus stated-117 pounds of
butter, $29 % l, 432 quarts of milk
$2S 6l-total, So 50 in 100 days.

Sabbath Morning.

ny A. CuNNiNGiiAM.
Dear is the hallow'd morn 10 me,
When village bells awake the day
And, by their sacred minstrelsy,
Call me from earthly cares away.
And dear to me the winged hour,
Spent in thy hallow'd courts, o Lord
To feel devotion'a soothing power,
And catch the mama Of Thy word.
And dear to me the loud Amen,
Which echoes through the blest abode,
Which swells and sinks, and swells again
Dies on the walls, but lives to God.
And dear the rustic harmony,
Sung with the pomp Of village art;
That holy. heavenly melody,
The music Of a thankful heart.
In secret have often prayed,
And sill the anxious ienr would fall
nu, on thy sncred\altar land,
The fire descends and dries them all.
or when the world, with iron hands,
Has bound me in its six days chain,
This bursts them. like the strong mans
And lets my spirit loose again. bands,
Then dear to me the Sabbath morn;
The village bells, the shepherds voice,
These Oft have found 10Y heart fotlorn,
Aud always bid that heart rejoice.
Go, man # pleasure. strike thy Tyre,
OF broken Sabolihs sing the charms
Ours be he prophets car Of fire.

We call attention 10 The following
Circular, which will make known The
objects of the Society, and hope all
who are interested 10 the noble art
of Agrlculture--and who is not p

matter, and give it all the influence
in his power TO render it, in all its
departments, superior to any enter
Prise Of this kind which has ever
taken place in this country. There
are none, whatever business or pro-
fession they may be engaged in, but
may be benefited, directly or indi-
rec,ly, in the success OF such an Ex-
hibition. Not ouly the best Stock
may be presented, but we see no
objection to exhibiting farm imple-
meats, specimens Of fruits, grains,
bees and bee-hiyes, preserved fruits,
and every thing else having immc-
date reference to the farm. We do
not know that It is contemplated that
anything else besides Stock shall be
introduced, but suggest. and earnest
ly desire, that other articles may be
allowed place for exhibition, even
If no premium is offered on them.
We trust that Nov y ; '''s O"-
rtrbrse. Tint the hills oi Vermont
and Berkshire, the valleys of the
Connecticut, the MerrlInack aud the
Penobscot, and the plains of the
Cape, will send their products TO this
grand gathering of the people, with

These temperance men carry
matters altogether too far. We never
