HoARDING AND ENJoYINc.--An old man was
toiling through the burden and heat of the day
in cultivating the field with his own hand and
derositing the promising seed into the fruitful
lap of the yielding earth.
Suddenly there stood before him under the
shade of a huge linden tree, divine vision
The olp man was struck with amazement
Il am Solomon spoke the phantom, in a
friendly voice. What are you doing here, old
N mani
S.If you are Solomon replied the venerable
e.lsborer, how can you ask this In my yontl
You sent me to the ant /; saw its occupation
and learned from that insect to be industrious
and to gather. What then learned have fol-
lowed out to this hour
You have only learned half your lesson, re-
sumed the spirit. Go again to ant, and learr
from that insect to rest in the winter of youl

HEART WoRK.-We are not sent into this
this world to do any thing in which we can not
put our hearts. We have certain work to do
for our bread, and that is to be done strenuous
ly; other work to do for our delight and that is
to be done heartily. Neither is to be done by
halves and shifts, but with will ; and what is
not worth tho effort is not to be done at all
Perhaps all that we have to do is meant fol
nothing more than an exercise of the heart and
and the will, and is useless in itself; but at all
events, the little use it has may we'll be spared
if it is not worth putting our hands and our
strength to.-Ruskin.

LETTER FROM THE WEST.
FOUNTAIN PRAIRIE, April 10th 1855.

FOUNTAIN PRAIRIE, April 10th 1855.
.'The flowers look upward in every place.
sta In this beautiful world Of ours
And dear as a smile old friends face
Is the smile of the bright, bright flowers"
a Mr.. THOMPSON, Sir This is indeed beau
ktiful day. Spring, in all its peculiar lovliness,
5smiles around US. The bright rays of the morn
ing sun impart golden tint to the landscape /;
lark carols its rich song near at at hand, while
from distance comes the mirth-inspiring cackle
of the wild prairie fowls and a flock of wild
geese wing slowly along the southern horizon.
Seated on bluff which commands an exten-
sive view, | am at q loss where to begin to de-
scribe what comes within range of the eye
Nine short years have elapsed since visited this
spot; but ah how changed. These bright
flowers, blooming at my feet, alone appear the
same. The whole extent of prairie was then
lying as it had lain for centuries--uncultiyatc
and it seemed as if the deeply worn trails of
the red man would ever remind US of the manv
sighs and tears it must have cost him to relir,.
quish his beautiful hunting grounds. Methinks
/ can hear him exclaim.
80, must leave my prairie home the humbed warrio,
said,
MY head is white and shall soon pass reon my dead
4irh hath 1t cheered and sancfed and twned It to nv
heart
And chidhoods mrth and song endeared how can ther
departin
But they departed. and the plow has since oh
liberated every trace of their footsteps. Th

IMAoroARr MONSTERS. order to grow wis
er, perhaps we could hardly do better than to
reeur to the little parable, spoken some since, on
the borders of Wales, by an itinerant preacher
Of the Evangelical Alliance: "I was going
toward the hills" he said, "early one misty
morning. Isaw something moving on the noun
tain side, so Strengthening that took it for
monster. When came nearer to it found it
was man. When came up to him found
Ae was my brother.- Westminster Reriec,

Among all other virtues, humili ty, though
be lowest, yet is pre-eminent. 1t is the safest,
because it is always at anchor; and that man
may be truly said to live most content in his
calling that strives to live within the limits
of it.

Right in one thing becomes preliminary tow
ards right in everything the transition is not
far from the feeling which tells us that we should
do harm to no man, to that which tells us that
we should do good to all men.

THE GREAT SOUTHERN WEEKLT THE PECTAT TOR:
 Washington City. DC.

4 Family Journal of Literature and Ne,gs | Southern Readers
 THE South has too long been dependent upon ] 1 northern cities for its periodical literature. ID weekly newspapers of Boston, New York, and PhiI delpha have swept like flood over that part of q nation south of Mason and DiXon's line many them carrying with them some of the prejudices aoolltonlsm; and inculcatng, to greater or less A tent, doctrines injurious to southern institutions This dependence of the mass of southern readai should be thrown ot-and it is believed would bI been long ago, if there had been facilities in the S for the publication of first class literary papers.
 The Spectator, Is published by gentleman who has lone been coi nected with some of the southern dailies and hs been undertaken to supply this want-that of q Lg toned weekly paper
 Of Southern interest and character.
 The general plan of the paper is as follows: ltb elght pages; three of which are filled with the bs articles on Literature, Science and the Arts one 2 the editors comments upon passing themes; one { general news foreign and domestic; one to the int estS of the Farmer the information on this p& Will De mainly derived from the Agricultural BUra of the U. $. Patent Oficel; one to synopsis of t operations of the Departments of the Governmen | and one, during the winter, to report of the p | ceedlngs of Congress; altogether making plan wh will be rigidly adhered to, and which is unequaa by any paper in the country, North or South.
 The SPECTATOR is printed on new type and on fo paper. Its quarto form makes it convenient for hD ing, and each annual volume being accompaI by full index, it will be most valuable paper preservation and reference. Subscriptions Two dollars a year.
