Go, when the morning shineth, Go, wlen ti le moon is bright, Go, whllen the eve declineth, Go, in the hush of night; Go, with pure mind and feeling, Fling earthly thought away, A nd, in thy chamber kneeling, Do thou in secret pray. Remember all who love thee, All who are loved by thee, Pray fir those who hate thee. If any such I here he; Then for tIhyself in meekness, A blessing humbly claim, And link with each petition, Thy great ledecmer's name. Or, if 'fis cer denied theo In solitude to pray, Should holy thoughts come o'er thee, When friends are rouid thy way, E'et then the- silent breathing Of thy spirit raised above, Will reach His throne of glory. Who 's Mercy, Truth, and Love. Oh! not a joy or blessing, With this can we compare, The power that iIe hath given us To pour our souls in prayer. Whene'er thou pin'st in sadness, Before his thotttool fall, And retuember itn thy gladness, Ilis Grace, who gave thee all. Miscellaneous.

In every magnet, lie finds that the magnetic poles are not on the outer edge of the ring, plate, or t,ar. hot within the edge and at the depression of2d. 35m. 6. fly the magnelic ring, he has discoy eredi the true laws of magnetic motion anld inflnerice, which have hitherto been un known, and which are now, by the use of the ring, and or the plate, clearly and easily demonstrated. 7. By the aid of tie magnetic ring, he has discovered the lireciie position of thr magnetic poles of the earth, the existence of which has been knowt for a considerable titme, alt hough their true position has hit h erto been the subject of continual contr'i versy, and1 h,s not tM this day been coIje tured by any writer on mnagtnetism; aud as ascertined that the mnainetic poles are in the polar circles, or 23d. 28mj. fruit the poles of the earth; ind lhat the manetic nxi4 makes that angle with the axis of the earth. The position of tle magnetic poles in t he polar citrle is also confirmedl and estabished by numberless calculations founded ott this fact. nnd furnishing results exactly true. 6. He has discovered that the mnagnetic poles of t he earl It are Inot stationary, but re volve in the polar circles; moving regtiarly front east tto west round the poles of the earth; fatnd that the lieriol of their revolit lion is GiW years, wanting at few seconds, and that their annual motion is 32i. 6. 10. lie has discoveredl that the needle, when on the magetiec eitmntor, always lies in tihe plante of the terrestrial ineridiau, or is parrallel with tie axis of the earth. II Lie has discovered that what is cal led the line of no variation. is not a wind ing irregular line on the earth's surface, as drawn itn the latest and best nautical charts, but a great circle of the earth, or 11IMgnetii: terilian, passiia throigh lie nagnetic poles, as regular in its rorn ald progress as any other great circle of ilte earth. 12. If a series of imagnetie ineridians he imagined, passing throttgh the magnetic poles. lie has discovered that the circle ofno variation is that mnagnetic meridian which pusses at the distance ofGd. 28m. frenti the poles of the earth. , 13. lie has found that the circle of no variation, like the magnetic poles, is not stationary, but revolves round the earth in 6G years, and 32. -6s. in one year. 14. lie has traced the circle of ono varia tion, and has found that halfor it which now crosses the continent of America, and whiel). from. h4jcut or the arctic line of no ariation, on eotem ber 15th, 1837, passed near, or through, the following places. viz; Proceeding from the north -uagietic pole, in latitude 66d. 32n. west longitude 93d, 16m1 . 03s. 04 1-3. it traversed ludson's hay west of Mausfield and Southampton islatids; entered .anes' bay between Lake Muskinaw and Abbiti ble river; run through the Abhbitible coun try: crossed the east part of Ihie Lake Mani tounlin, proceetded a little west of Lake Simcoc; passed about iti. west of Toronto: crossed the westerii point of Lake Ontario, and the eastern point of Lake Erie, passed about 31m. west of Fredoiit, New York; aiout 14. east of Iittsibugh; about 2d. 22mi. west of the City of Washington; ahout 32n. west of Charloltsville, west of ti(!htnond about 35m. about I l. :30hn.

Iesther represents that the variation of the tieedle canuot.be taken by any other !methoa without a celestial observaionl; that it caniot be taken atsea, even in fair weatlh e., with accuracy, in consequence of the imotion'of the vessel; that on land, and in fmei weather, it is rarely taken with accura cy; that no observation or the latitme can tie taken at sea, or on land, withott. fair weather; aud that great mistakes are ust ally mle at sea, in calculatin,_, it; that fair weather is eqally necessary fir taking the longitude, whether by the chronmeter or any other instrument; tih:,t attempts to deter mine it at sea are known to lie generally fruitless; and that great errors very fi'eitsent ly occur, in attempts to determine it on land that for three centuries it has been the grand desideratuti of the commercial world to discover a certain method of determining the longitude; that for many years the Board of Longitude, in London, ofl'red a reward of X20,000sterling for this discovery, without success: that hoard paid to the artist who made the best chronometer carried ont by Captain Parry, 1: 10,000 sterling. and since then has oil'ered ?8,000 sterling to the per son who should devise a method by which the chronometer could be used at sea with entire a-:curacy in discovering the longitide; and that board gave Cap.ain Ross A5.000 sterling for approaching so near the north ttagnete-pole, as 70d. 6m. north latitude. and 90d. west longitude, an error of3d, 3-m. of latitude, and of from 3d, to 4d. of* longi tude; that owing to the impossibility of fix ing a ship's exact place at sea, hundreds of American vessels are amiually lost; that in 1836 as repoited in the public prints, more than eight hundred were thus lost most of them uidoniedly frot this cause; that difi eitiesconstantly arise in survey of land frrl ignorance of the law of the varia lthat awsuits are tsaeueause; dtat ,toeime edicultites have arisen in fixingthe boundaries between the U.

He farther represents that repeaed andi direct attempts have been made, by sever al foreigners in the city of New York, to possess themsives of the entire secret of his invention and discoveries, in order, as lie cannot doubt, it) seeire to themselves, if possilie, patents in Europe, and. if not, to gai a high reward from tle Britili Parla tament, as well as any honor whieb might accrue front the invention and discovery; that Godfrey, a native ofr Philadelphia, after .having invented t lie giadranit. explaiti ed the invention it anl Englishman, of' the name of Iladley, and disclosed to him his design ol' taking ontt ta paient flr it in Etng land; that ladley anticipaeil him in the pt tent and the reward. gave Ihis ime to the imst,umneut, claimed the ivntinii as his own, land tr1anlsAmrel the lonirs of it, in) the view of the world, froi A merica to Ellg land; that, as the discoveries and the inmveti tion, of wvich lie has spokea, are wholly his own, he alone is eutiled to any profit which may accrue from them; and that, should they be thought to conimer any hon or, it is dueI only to himt anid to the'land of his birth. lie further states that lie has had the htonor of' explatining these dliscoveries, atind of extihiimg the geotmester to a conisiderabhle number of the mteihmers of both I lou~ses of Congress, as lie trusts to their satishemtin atnd that lhe hopes to have thte pleasturo of' doimng the same to the (other' members of' the two Houses durimng the present week. le f'urthter represents that lie has comii menced the pubtliication* of a volumte, itt quarto, to exptlaimn the discoveries int mans nietism, as wefh as tIhe mnature and muse of the geomeuter, to lbe aiccomtpanmied with nunmr ons plates, anid ttended with great expemise, that the manumfacture of the iustruntmnt, ini order to imtrodumce it into general us~e, will requtire a large outlay, timuch larger thani heo is able to meet, with nto itmmediate retturnts, and thaut it is his purpose, if'enabsled sc) to (d0, to proceed to Enaglanid and l,'ranice, to secure what lie conceives to lie a in1st re ward for the labors of a life so snec'sessfulfly devoted to the wvelfuire of' his coumntr'y anid of' tmankmd. lie therefore most respectfullyI petitiotis both flouses of Contgress to give the premni sea (hue contsidlerationt; andti if the iniventtion and discoveries wvhich he has recited shall appear to them of high imnpor'tance atid vath ne to the p)eonle of' the Untited Stattes, thten to enable him by their friienidly atssistnce, to proceed wvithiout delay, to the ac'otm pilishmenit of thet objects, lie hats specifid, as well as to feel that, in prosecuting thenm thus far, he has not jeoparded thme ultimate welfare of hitmself amnd oif a family depien dant on his daIly exertions f'or their support; he giving an express pledge that, for the imstrtumentts purchasied for the tnatiomnal ships and for thec service of the United States, 110thing all ever he demanded for the pa tent. Anl, as he may find in Enrope that the instrunmenits may he made with greater accuracy and on beter torms, and that the work proposed with the plates, may also be better executed there than here, he also reqests that lie iay be atahorized to import both the noks fand the instruments as both sare, mr an important sense, a national con cern, duyfree.

A good cow is one of the greatest benefactions ever bestowed upos the humian fiintmly in the form of a qnadrnpcrl; and every friend to true respectability and nmerit, will be mnore than half inclined to take off hi,4 hat to tuelh a noble aiini; for she certuibly does !ore good im her way thine inost of the noliv pol iticians im the coitry in any way. We 'havo k nown a cow that for several years imiade a return to Ier owner, of more tan on hnilndred and fifty dulfars every year I- the sale oflier mnilk at iTre cents a ginart; anld we know an iiitare wherft ni holinest man, who had beconite titerly bank. rupt, in the best of all possessions. an idepen. lent spirit and a deternunation to live within his Ileans, supported hiniself, wife anid children, for six nliontlis with nit) other inicouse or resource than the milk oW one goodl Cow. We say we have kimown somie sieh cows; ait we deein themnt very worthy acfinaiitance. If it is not an honor, it is certiinly a pleasure to have known them; and we are not surprised at the suspersiition of the poor Ilindoos, who iade the cow an otbject of idolatrons worship- With ippetites not depraved by luxury, they sat clown Inder her flowing ndder afier the fati~gies of toil aid the exhaustiois of heat, to regale theonselves iroiin tis daily flowing ibuitain. with a zest like that which die parched Aribatiproachesa spring ainontg the inrning sands; alid now in some parts ofthe world, where rural lil*e exists ini all its sin lificity the poor cottager and his children may be seen with their basins at night gathering around this their daily betiefactor with the same gatetidl pleasure with which tho Israelites came arOund tile gashing fountains froni the rock itn tile wilderness. Respect and ionor the cow; treat her well; be grudge her no kindness: 'here is no animal that will iore fully compen-.snte your liberality; and when we hear farmers say, as we ollen- do, in a boasting wny, how intch Gutter and milk they get from their cows. and then add, "but they go in a very poor pasture and we give them nothiug,and in winter keep theit upon nothing better tan fresh meadow hay," we are halfdisposed to say that such owners deserve nothing, and oughtt t o i the same pasture with their cows. As wo .ve said on a former occasion, it is flse and of native stock, and raised by her present owner. It adds to the imany proofs which are constantly presenting themselves, to) establish the great po sition that our present dairy stock requires only carefutl selection and good keeping to furnish as valitable race of inilkimg aniinals as we can ex. peet tit obtain by the imnportation of tle best breeds that have yet been brought into the country.
