sunk to rest;
And our little boat was drifting careiessly and
free,
ASH no angry surge, wer. sleeping meath the

evening air,
Ysu might deem the deepest ,olitsde had found
refuge there;
And the household lights that glimm red in the
distance dim and far,
Each wore look as peaceful as the blessed even
ing star.
Then glad voice rang out merrily, and floating
The light, unmeaning accents were borne across
the bay;
But the breath which God had given might not
thus be spent In vain,
And watchful spirit caught the sound and bore
IL back again.
Then another and another, in The hollow distance
woke,
And in clear ard silvery accents each word the
trio spoke;
So truthfaily rsssmbled the languag. and the
That trinity Of spirits seemed lowering around
But the boat was glidirg onward, and Its motion
For the truthful echo voices refused 10 saw fare
well;
But it LEFT the sad impression deeply craven on
the heart.
That Of all earth gifts the loveliest are the soon

No, so, however. or not to the same e4tenti at least. of farming and the learned professions. These are still, as they have been from time immemorial. under the con- trol of tradition. whether right or wrong. There are, it is frankly admitted, many nobis exceptions to this remark; yet these do not at all initiate against it's general tfuttfulness, but rather serve to demonstrate it to the minds of all careful observers
 The tire will come when the business of tilling the ground will be reduced to a positive art. If you go to plow-maker, or to manufacturer of reapers or mowers, with an order for specific kind of an implement. you are very sure of getting what you contract for. The mechanic Is not governed by tradition, but hy fixed and well-defned rules. whose results are sure. Not so with farmers generally. They are not governed hy the sdrs laws sf frprodtc- ton, which are no less positive in their results than the laws of mechanics, the difference being in favor of the latter because better understood.
 In these days of stHdy, observation and practical experimenting, 1t Is not too much to hope that the errors of uaditional-tarm. ing will be thorougly exposed. and give place to that knowledge atrd Understanding which shall enable every farmer to report :, progress" Let every husbandman do all he can to hasten the day when it can be said, that the laws of agriculture and stock-breeding are as well understood as the laws of mechanics.

TEE !" NleaER" AN INsrrruftoN The New Orleans Crescent gives the following view of the great propelIing powor of Amer.. ican politics-,hat mighty force, which, if it does nothing else, is of immense import- ance as an agent to keep society from stagna,ion:
 "The niggef" is great, in fact stu. penduous institutions. He answers a three fold purpose, and that is more than many white men are capable ot. In the first place, he sows; hoes and gathers in pro- dnct which clothes the world which has made Massachusetts rich and saucy--het- ter than her neighbor; which enables Eng land to carry on the war against Russia :. which supplies France with the sinews of conflict and which helps Christian na,ion's to cut each others throat's by furnishing the raw materials indispensable to the pros- eculion of muitifarious branches of indus try. In ihe second place. the " nigger" assists the abolitionists and anti i-Americans of the North wonderfully. Without Sam. bo they would soon languish and die. His odor alone supplies them with vitality. In the third place, the nigges" is just as useful in the South as in the North In the North he manufactures bogus Demo. crats. Abolitionists and anti-Americans. In the South he manufactures anti A mericans,; successionists and bogus democrats. He is equally valuable In both sections of the Union in the fur,herance of objects dimet- ri.ally opposed to each other. Wonderful product is Sambo. Hurfa for Africa!

FEMALE PHysiciAxs.-Perhaps af,er ait,

FEMALE PHysIcIAxs.-Perhaps after all; says Punch. thsre is no great absurdity in the notion of female physicians. All phy- sicians, except those who practice gratuiti ou-ly, may be designated by the word female spelt with another e on the first syllable; and there are not few of whom that is all that can be said. IT the head of woman is moi calculated for the informa. ton of diagnosis, she can. at least, shake 1t in difIicu case as effectually as man can; and having softer and more musical voice than the masculine, she is better qualified than most of men are for that largo par, of mrdical practice which consists in whispering comfort to invailds.
