Suffice it that tho prayer was vain and with despairing prido 1 coldly rose although my soul know that all hopo had died, And sweeping back the anguis'd tide of grief liko ocean's swell, Calmly, nay even gently then breath'd forth a last farewell. In other lands I struggled with my fate and vain regret, But 'twas too lato, tho crushing 8e.il of mcm'ry had been set, And haunted by its mournful shado e'en midst the dazzling throng 'Twould change tho fairest scones to night and hush each joyous song. What wonder that I then bccame a madman? could the deep Undying sorrow hid beneath a frozen surface bleep ? j No! fearfully it burnt within 'till Reason, over shrin'd And hallow'd as a guiding star, to darkness was consign'd.

Agriculture. _ Agriculture, or husbandry, is the art of cultivating the ground, so that it may produce in the greatest abundance and perfection, those vegitable productions which are necessary lor the tood, comtort and conveniance of mankindIt is from the hand of agriculture that manufactures and commerce, and indeed every other branch of industry receive their suport. The cultivation of the earth may therefore be considered as the most useful and laudable of all pursuits. Here, as in some other countries, we have many examples of distinguished individuals, who have left the seat of power, the theatre tif political action, and the splendor and optilence of cities, that they might enjoy the pleasure of cultivating their native fields. The pursuits of agriculture are connected with that love of country which mav be call ed a universal passion. The charms of ftature are here fully displayed, and every mind that is not debased by vicious habits, or enslaved by irregular desires is eager to enjoy them. A principle so universally felt, has never failed to call forth the powers of genius; and tvritera of all ages have expatiated on rural scenes and occupations with most lively satfsfactionv Every poet rrtore especially claims the country as his peculiar province; from it he derives the most beautiful and striking de scriptions, and is enabled to represent those various prospects of nature which are so highly gratifying to every ingenious mind. Agriculture is not only essential to the good .order of society, in a rude and unpolished state, but is equally requsite in every stage of its refinement. As an incitement to its constant and uniform pursuit, it repays the exertions of the husbandman with regular and abundant returns. From the remotest ages ft has been esteemed worthy ol general; attention. The simplicity of ancient manners rendered it an object not incousistti::., with the rank and situation ot persons of the greatest eminence* - >*iP*>n> the renowned Champion and men; and the con^eror of the ^ ^M<ithe Roman ar tnies to battle, and afterwards declined the reward gained by his victories, to return to his native fields. And in modern times this occupation has been held in no less esteem. There are not wanting those among the English nobility who take a lively interest in all rural improvements, and preside at the meetings of sgriculturists, with 110 less reputation to themselves than benefit to the art. Washington found flu*. moot nlnn/linrr va. i . O "v (""'"""e I laxattou from public cures in the superin-! 'tendence of his own estate. The emperor J ofChina. at the beginning of every spring, goes to plough in person attended by the princes and grandees of his empire; he celebrates the close of the harvest among his subjects, and creates the best farmer in his dominion a mandarin. In various ages many have written to explain the principles and celebrate the excellences of this art. Some have adorned it j with the elegance of fancy, and others have methodised it with tho precission of rules, i Ilcsiod was one of the earliest of the Greci- j an poets to sing the praises of tho plough; j and in a work nearly coeval with the Iliad ; itsolf, has combined with the principles of! tho. nrt. nwnv ciirlniu AKunM-ntU..- ? ?i__ ! IVMJ uuoui Tuuum uu mi" seasons most propitions to its various employment. At a period of society when its advantages were better understood, and its practice more generally diffused, Xenophon expatiated in his economies on the importance of agriculture, and described its influence on the arts, and the advancement of civilization. Virgil has described at large the rural O O occupations of his countrymen, the cultivation of the land, the season most favorable for tillage, and the nature of grazing and planting. He has adorned every branch of his subject with refined and striking beau ties ot composition; ami has so fully collec- j tod the best observations and choicest max- j ims of antiquity, as to render it almost a j superfluous task to consult the works of other authors, relative to tho progress which his predecessors had made in this subject. PaoTncTioN to Tuees.?A friend who has the well being of our fine trees and plants much at heart, writes to us as follows concerning a new discovery of moans whereby insects may be driven off effectully, H<* says: "We are indebted to Austria for a recent and happy invention. An individual ofthe country has thought of using the galvanic power lor the preservation of irons and pi ints. Fie uses for that purpose two rings one of copper anil the oilier of zinc. Having placed one upon the other lie fixes thorn around the trunk of the tree, and if an insect but touches the ring of copper, it receives at once a galvanic shock. by which it is killed, or made to fall. The effect of this apparatus is equally good in dry weather, and its action is unceasing." It is a very simple plan, and is deserving of a trial.? U. S. G izelle. Potatoe Disease. The Yarmonlh (Maine) Kegister slates that sea weed used i as a manure put into hills effectually pre- j vents the potutoe disease. Also that peat I is believed to produce the same result. We , h id a fine field of potatoes last year, entirely unaffected by the rot, while other lots around us were more or less affected, and some of them badly. We attribute the entire exemption, in our own case, to the use oftanner's manure, containing, among other ingredients, a considerabte per centagc; of lime. Ci're for Toothache.?The Manchester Messenger says the following receipt will in all cases give immediate relief:? | Take a teaspoonful of black pepper and j mix it with the same quantity of salt; then 1 place thesame mixture upon a shovel, hold itovcrihe fire until it smokes; then inhale some of the smoke through the nose. Puebt.o Indians.?In the recent massacre and subsequent engagements in New Mexico these Indians acted a conspicuous part. VVe learn from the Independence Expositor that when the fortified church of Tons was fired by the American forces a Pueblo squaw appeared on the ramparts bearing a flag of truce, which was shot from hor hand. In these engagements says t? il. t ? .1 * c t . 1 " ' inn j_jApusnur, niu uiuians jougni Deiicr and did more execution than the Mexican.? They would kill our men with their arrows at a distance of one hundred and fifty yards, while on horseback, they were perfect parthians. Example for Young Men.?The Clipper contains a very interesting account of a. young Dane, who was converted to God some time ago in Pittsburg; and being desirous of receiving a good education, he applied 10 Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., for admission on easy terms, as he had very little money ?The Prgsident of the ColIporp nnncontorl fn ? u:_ -J .w..?w..nu vu g,vc ii in "is uuucauon gratuitously, if he would pay his board.? The youth deposited all his possessions ($15, and a trunk for his chair, and a chest for his table, and a hammock, for his bed) in the Institution; and to provide funds for his boarding he works during his leisure hours. He lives on fifty cents worth oj food per week! This youth bids fair to rise to eminence ; while he sets an excellent example for the young men of America. Success to the Danish Student 1 Hypocricy may for a while deceive the world, but sooner or later it will be detected, and render the hypocrite odious to man as he is to God. ' ' ^ Xrt \ .

The sale of the novels of Sue, Dumas, and the other writers of the profuse and highly wrought school, has fallen ofT till they are comparatively scarcc worth translating? enormous as has been their circulation for the last two or three years. James novels are flapping their sails against the mast.? Dickens is the only writer of popular narrative fiction who holds his way. VlTlTIfR. Thf? r.rpntinn of llw? cfiilntm may moulder into dust, the wealth of the bard may wither ; the throne of the conquerer may be shivered by an opposing power into atoms; the fume of the wariior may no longer be hymned by the recording minstrel; the hope of the youth may be disappointed ; but that which hallows the cottage and sheds a glory around the palaco ?virtue?shall never decay. It is cclebra! led by the angels of God?it is written on the pillars of heaven and reflected down to earth. A bomb shell weighing 18G pounds, which was thrown from the caslle of San Juan do Ulloa during the Bombardment, has bc?Mi placed in the rotuda of the Philadelphia Exchange, It was brought home iu the steamship Princeton. The iron of which it is composed is about two inches thick. It was found near General Worth's tent, a distance of two miles aud a half from the Castle. A mm of sense will never swear. The least pardonable of all vices to which the folly or cupidity of man is addicted, is pro lanity. Think how miny times thou hast been mistaken in thine own juJgment, and learn by that experience not to be positive and obstinate. Gj slowly to the entertainments of thy friends, and quickly to their misfortunes. In order to jet along well in the world, it is requisite for a m m to heve gold tn his pocket,iron m his hand, silver in histongue, and brass on his face. Pure rain water is the best drink for man. ?Those w.io use pure water alone, generally have sound teeth, good appetite, are not subject to many diseases, live to a great age. Pittacus, one of the seven wise men of Greece, made a law, that every in an who committed a fault in a state of intoxication, should receive a double punishment. Valuable documents relative to the political history of Mexico were found in the Castle at Vera Cruz. This is a chance lor Mr. Prescott. A young1 man has been arrested at Rome who confessed that he intended to assassinate the Pope on the day he distributed banners to the different quarters of the city. The first Brevet rank ever conferred by our Government, it is said, was bestowed upon Gen. Taylor during the war of 1812. Blsworth the celebated pedestrian who w;ill?nfl !1 tluilienml iv?ilna in n tVinni-onJ .. ? 111 u vo ill U bllUUOUliU hours, is at Santa Fe engaged in the employment of the government. He would make an excellant Courier. Five American newspapers are now printed in Mexico?one at Matamoras.
