| find. on a cri'ica' investigation ef the
second Article Of Your Constitution, that
there shall be an annual meeting Of the
Society held in the town Of OkolGna, on
the first Saturday in May, in each year,
at which time, there shall he all eecti n
of officers, (who shall be chosen by hal
lott and snch other business transacted
as may be advisable for the good of the
Society. Now, the first object that |
have, primarily in view, is simply this :
That this election is held too late for the
promotion of the general good of the ST.
ciety, because the Premium List has al
ways been delayed Or kept back until
after this meeting. There is then, in my
estimation. necessity and propriety Of
changing this Article and meeting to
gether say in January, and then ma e
out full and complete list If Premiums
for the public. BY this means, The Soci-
ETY. will know at once, how to compete,
or what to compete for. BY such an adj
judication it will enable competitors to
determine how and what to prepare for
the annual exhibition in October of each
year. This way of giving no timely warn
ing, in matters of such Importance as that
of our Agricultural Society, to make pre-
.paration for an annual exhibition, is not
sensible, and is eyidentlyout Of the qnes-
tion in such an enlightened age as this.
'srhe remedy is, then, to present your list
in January, hereafter, and give all
chance for premiums. The gifted and
indefatigable President Of the Society,
q has claims over the public, tantamount to
that of high minded and patriotic gen.
tlcman in the choice selection he made
in the award of premiums to the Society.
l find in all we'll regulated Agricultural
Societies, ample time is given to the
members of the same to make such pre-
paration as the Importance and magnitude
of the occasion may require. Why should
this Society, then, in such fast age be
behind others? There is no good reason
for it. All intelligent minds admit that
the object Of all Agricultural Fairs is
designed for the promotion of universal
good. If such, then, is the general un-

Gua1a AgatRst Vulgar Langaage.-
There is as much connection between the
words and the thoughts as there is be-
tween the thoughts and the words the
latter are not only the expressions Of the
former, but they have power to react
upon the soul, and leave the stains of
their corruption there. A young man
who allows himself to use one profane or
vulgar word has not only shown that
there is a foul spot on his mind, but by
the utterance of that word lie extends
that spot and infames it, till, by indul-
gcnce, it will soon pollute and ruin the
whole soul BE careful of your words,
as well as your thoughts. If you can
control the tongue, that no improper
words are pronounced by it you will soon
be able also to control the mind, and save
that from corruption. You extinguish
the fire by smothering it, or by prevent
ing bad thoughts bursting ont in language.
Never utter a word anywhere which you
would be ashamed to speak in presence
of the most refined female, or the most
religious man. Try this practice little
while, and you will soon have command
of yourself.

U "The elegant form, rosy cheek
arched brow, fashy eyes, and glossy ring.
lets" are said to constitute beauty. Not
only the young and gay believe it, but
thousands with hoary hairs and time-hon-
ored brows, yield to this opinion. But do
these constitute true beauty! 'Tis
true, that in the symmetrical from, the
dimpled cheek, and shining tresses we find
much to please the eye, but are there no
higher charms, no more durable beauty
| than this Alas if there were not, for
soon do they perish and fade like the hues
from the flowers.
True beauty, consists in a well culti-
waited state of the intellectual and moral
faculties. The cultivation of the mind
alone, leaves us destitute of the power,
both to enjoy and to do good, while that
of morals without the mind, loses half its
advantage, both to the possessor and
others.
External accomplishments adorn and
beautify human nature; intellectual cul-
ture exalts and refnes it-while moral
excellence imparts to it, true dignity
Then we can be at no loss for the stan
dard of true beauty and excellence-the
continuation Of intellectual and moral cul-
ture.
This being true, with what untiring
assiduity should we strive to cultivate
the mind and improve the morals, and by
it-secure that .tadetess beauty-true
mcrit--which such a course alone can
giye.-Bascom Gems.

TIE Deater Duel.-The affair of the
duel between Gen Denver, the newly APP
pointed Secretary Of Kansas, ANA Mr.. Gill
Def, Of the San Francisco Alta Californian,
in which the latter lost his life, having
been referred TO, an eye witness gives the
following explanation of the affair in the
st. Louis Republican:
"Gen. Denver was accompanied on the
ground by Drs. Briefly and Ogden. Col.
GilDerts friends cannot call to mind
The weapons used were Wesson's rifles,
distance sixty PAGES. At the first fire
neither was hit. Gen. Denver thinking
that one shot would be sufficient, took DR..
Ogden's arm and walked off few PAGES.
AS they returned, DR.. Brierly was re-
loading, and in answer to look from Gen.
Denver, remarketl-".G General they de-
mand another shot" The general, being
taken completely by surprise said
" They will not Want another" The sec
ond shot was then exchanged, and Col.
Gilbert fell. | was assured by Gen. Den
yer that he did not intend to kill Col.
Gilbert; the sights of his rifle were adj
justed at night and proved to be untrue.
Gen. Denver at the first fire intended to
hit his antagonist in the knee; the second
shot he aimed at the body, intending to
infict severe, but not fatal wound, but
the rifle carried too high and too far to
the right, hence the fatal result. Instead
of the people of California deeming Gen.
Denver heartless and blood thirsty as
was stated, he has been justified by a
large majority of the citizens of the State.
Had not the friends of Col. Gilbert insist
ed, the second shot would not have been
fired" a elid =

The Beauty ofa Biash.-Goethe was
in company with a mother and daughter,
when the latter being reproved for some
fault, blushed and burst into tears. He
said "How beautiful Your reproach has
made your daughter The crimson hue

than any ornament of gold and pearls
They may be hung on the neck of wan

beautiful as this child blushing beneath
her mothers displeasure and shedding
tears of sorrow. A blush is the sign,
which Nature hangs out, to show where

Waysidc Thoughts.

When the enemy shall come in like a
food, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up
a standard against him. Isaiah lix. 10.
The apostle Peter compares Satan to
a roaring lion that continually goes about
seeking whom he may devour. 1t is his
constant study to harrass and perplex
Gods dear children, but blessed be God,
he can proceed no further than he is
pleased to permit him, and if he should
come in like food, God will take care
that his Spirit shall lift up standard
against him Remember, my reader, it
is no sin to be tempted; the sin is in re-
ceiving or agreeing with, the temptation.
Christ himself was tempted, but he resis-
ted the tempter; and it is thy privilege
to fly unto Christ under every tempta-
ton. Tell him thy case, implore his as
sistance, and depend upon it, he will take
care that even temptations shall be among
those all things" that work together
for thy good. Foget not the exhortation
of the Lord. "Draw nigh to God, and
he will draw nigh to you. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you. The
Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly
out of temptations. There hath no temp
tati0n taken you but such as is common
to men; but God is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye
are able"
This is the Christians ehiefest joy,
His faithful Gtd is ever nigh;
Whose rod and staff, and promised grace
Protect him through this wilderness.

That is not all the Society has general

There is then, a very Objectionable fea-
