M AGRICULTURAL ODE.

By J. G. WHITTIER.
This day, two hundred years ago,
The wild grapes by the rivers side,
Aud Iastelcss ground-nut, trailing low,
The table of the woods supplied.
Unknown the apples red and gold,
The blushiug tut OF peach and pear;
The mirror of the pow-wow told
No tale OF orchards ripe and rare.
Wild as the traits he scorned TO till,
- These wales the idle Indian trod:
Mr. knew the glad, creative skill.
aesa The Joy of him who tolls with God.
@, Painter of the fruits and flowers!
We thank Thee for Thy wise design,
Whereby tbese human hands OF ours
$50 In natures garden work with Thine.
.rQfs,t ~ 2gaE saE
And thanks that from our daily need
The JOY of simple faith is born,
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust Thee for the autumn corn
Give fools their gold and knayes their power
Let fortunes bubbles rise and iaii;
Z Who s0ws field or trains flower,
Or plants tree is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blessed
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as a bequest
An added beauty to this earth.
And, soon or late, to all that SOW,
The time of harvest shall be given;
The flowers shall bloom, the fruit shall grow,
II not on earth, at last in heaven.

The great men of the world have been
workers. Demosthenes was an Athenian
Blacksmith. Arkwright was barber. In
our own country, Ben franklin was a prin-
ter, and was not born with a gold spoon in
his mouth. He wandered about the streets
Of Philadelphia for work with loaf Of
bread under his arm !. but kings sat at his
feet and listened to, his words of wisdom.
jackson was SO obscure that it is not known
when or where he was born, or whether lie
had any parents. Clay was the mill boy of
the slashes, and supplied his mothers bowl
with meal. Tom Corwln was wagon boy.
Judge Mclean was ncwsboy. Men who
have thus made their mark are working
men-co-workers with the Almighty.

Education at the south.

A meeting was held at Cooper Institute,
New York, on Tuesday evening, in behalf
| of extending further educational facilities
to the people of the Southern States, and
especially to obtain aid for Berea College, in
Kentucky About six hundred persons were
! present. On the platform were Rev. Henry
! Ward Beecher, Rev. Joseph P. Thompson,
Rev j. G. Field, Rev. DR.. Storrs, Rev.
Howard Crosby, and other well known gen.
/ temen. All the gentlemen named made
addresses in favor of the objects of the meet
ing. In the course of the remarks OF Rev.
Henry Ward Beeoher he said.
"We cannot afford to neglect the educa-
ton OF the community. Sweeping the inte-
rior and whitening the walls and fumigating
: our own dwelling is not enough. Our door
steps must I've swept, the cutters must be
clcansed. the byways must be purified, and
the community lifted to healthful, moral
and intellectual condition, such end only
such as becomes free people. and secures
their peace and pcrpetuity rs a nation. The
outcast will exact what his needs demand
armies may suppress disorder tor time. but
their use is only tUlerable in view of the
moral control which we foresee is to follow.
Nor can political theories, nor even religion,
with its discordant creeds alone produce it.
Education must step in, and by the diffu-
sion of universal intelligence produce that
common sympathy necessary to complete
the work.
:. With the establishment of colleges
throughout the south, consanguinity will be
increased, mutual sympathy will grow, and
peace he established. We of the North are
strong-we are rich, and AS the younger
looks not in vain to the older brother for
assistance, let US tentler cheerful and open
hand to the South. As trod the streets OF
Charleston after the war, and saw the dwell
ings torn and shattered with the missiles of
war, and the wild waste uf desolation and
mourning which there and everywhere
throughout the South prevailed, | vowed
that as l lad devoted my past life to the
downfall of slavery, which had heretofore
cursed the land. l would henceiorth devote
that life to repairing and elevating these still
i United States. Build, therefore, their COM
mon schools and colleges, the greatest boon
you can confer upon them-a boon not alone
to them, but to you, as its benefits and bless
inss will roll back upon our whole people"

For the Fayetteville Observer.
For the Citizens Of Fay
etteVille.

That the school facilities of
Fayetteville, in respect of houses,
for several years past, have been
unequal either to the wealth, or
dignity, or educational interests
of the community, is a truth too
patent and palpable to admit of
any sort of controversy or doubt.
OF the six schools taught within
the corporate limits of the town
last year, tfUe of them were taught
in private dwellings or Offices
The same remark applies with
equal force to the schools of the
town for several years preceding.
Just think of it, gentlemen
With school population of about
two hundred, and taxable property
to the amount of 100000, and
only one public school house.
In view of these facts, about
four months ago, | obtained leave
of the Board of Trustees to solicit
donations for the repair of Fay
Ietteville Female Academy. Af-
ter some time a subscription of
something above seven hundred
dollars was obtained. Upon con-
sultation with Some friends of the
enterprise, it was thought safe to
begin the work. The contract
for repairing was taken by car
penter for $3.50, a sum much less
perhaps than one-half of what it
would cost you to build a new one.
In very short time, the open,
unsightly old hull was wonder
fully changed in appearance. In
stead of an ugly blotch upon your
town, it is now a comfortable,
commodious school building suited
to the accommodation of more
than one hundred pupils. But
there is a balance of a little more
than 5000 due for work and ma
terial, and I have been notified
that initiatory steps will be taken,
next Monday, to collect this by
force of law. Think about the mat
ter, citizens Of Fayetteville, and
then do whatever your sense of
duty, pride or interest may dictate.
! l suggest that whatever sums of
money persons may feel disposed
to contribute for relief in the
premises, be deposited with Gen. J.
M. Bright. W. MOONEY.

FAYETTEVILLE, TENN:
Thursday Morning, April 20, 1869.
The Romanization of the
Episcopal Church.

1t is believed by many that the
sFChurch of England" is rapidly
gravitating toward Romanism, and
that the day is not distant when a
large portion Of its clergy viii
formally seek reconciliation with
the Church of Rome. The advan-
Ces tending to such a result have
so far been entirely on the Protest
ant side. Rome has made no con-
eessions-proposed no compromise.
She is willing to receive the che
retiCs," if they come to her repent
ant of their heresy, butshe valves
no doctrine or ceremonial that
formed part of her creed and rit-
ual in the days Of Martin Luther.
The "High Church" party in
the Church OF England are ma
king such extraordinary changes
in the established ritual, that the
Glow churchmen," as they are
called, have become seriously a.
Iarmed, and are formally protest
ing against what they deem the
innovation of the Tractarians.-
Thcseinnovations certainly justify
the charge that the clergy who en-
dOrse them are essentially Roman
Catholics. For example +: process
tons, with banners and crosses,
and the burning of incense, have
been introduced in the morning
and evening services at the "High
Church" or Tractarian churches.
Candles are burned on the affairs I;
the celebrant priests wear vest
ments similar to those worn by
the Roman Catholic clergy; reli-
gious orders, of monkish character,
have been instituted, one OF which
is known as the Benedictines, and
the communion ceremonial is sta
ted to be tantamount to the adora-
ton of the Host. In fact, it is
very clear from the accounts given
of the formalities observed by the
"High Church" clergy, that they
are in everything, except the
name, Roman Catholic priests
When Doctors of Divinity disa-
gree it would be presumptuous in
the unlearned laity to decide be-
tween them but all candid men
must admit that clergymen who
have identified themselves with
the hierarchy of Rome should not
call themselves Protestant Episco-
palians.

officials. All know the wholesale
plumber of the school fund turned
over by Gov. Harris to Brownlow.

since from our poor taxpayers
One of the Radical officials has let
the cat out of the bag as follows.
Rev. E. o. Tade, Superindent of
Public instruction for Hamilton
county, has borne with the mis-
appropriation of the school moneys
as long as human nature on his
part can stand it. He publishes
the following in the Chattanooga

is briefly stated in one paragraph

owe believe that the republic
means lawlessness, corruption, in
