Under a spreading chesnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms, Are strong as iron bands. His hair is crisp, and black and long; His race is like the tan His brow is wet with honest sweat; lie earns whate'er he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man. Week nut, week in, from morn till night, C You catn hear his bellows blow; C Yon can hear him swing his heavy sledge, I With measured beat and slow, Like a sexton ringing the old kirk chimes When the eveuing sun is low. And childred coming home from school C Look in at i he open door; They love to see the flaming forge, And hear the bellows roar, And catch the burning sparks that fly Like cbafI from a trashing floor. C lie goes on Sunday to the church, And sits among his boys; t lie hears the parson pray and preach, n lie hears his daughter's voice r Siuging in the village choir, And makes his heart rejoice. It sounds to him like her mnother's voice, Singing in Paradise! XLe Iltea- 1WIL trafC. &. Orf 1. -; How in the crave she lies And with his hard rough hand he wipes A tear from out his eyes. C Toiling-rejoicing-sorrowing Oiward through !ife he goes; Each morning sCes some task begin, Each evening sees it close ; Somtetbing attempted-something done, He earned a night's repose. Thanks, thankq to laee, my worthy friend For the lesson thot hast taught; 0 Thus at the flamin:* forge of life Our iritune must be wrought, Thus on its soundileg anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought.

Jndge - , no we give his horrowed 'ognonen, Sam Slick, makes some judi ions reflections npon an impor tant sub ect, to which we ask the attention of all vho are interested in agrirulh ural pursuits. A very large portion of land in Ameri a has been 'run out' by repeated grain rops, and had hushandry, until a great ortion of' Iis country is in a ftir way to e ruined. The two Carolinas and Var inny are coyered with places that are 'run ut,' aid are given tip as ruined. nnd there re a plagey site too many such places all ver New England, and a great many ther States. We hav'ot the suirplus of vheat that we used to have it the United ;tates. and it'll never be so plenty while . here are so many Nick 15radshaws in the ountry. Tie fact is this, 'Squire, education is c eueedhy neglected. True we have a site I 'f schools and colleges, hot they an't the c ight kind. The same Nick Hradshaw i as been through one on 'em, nod 'twas C here that he larnt that infarnal lazy habit i f drinking and smoking, that has been the uin of him ever since. I would'nt give n old ltshlioned swing tail clock, to have y son go to college where he coild'nt n work enough to airn his own living, and f trn how to work it right too. It actually frightens me, when I think ow the land is worked atind skinned, till c haP take the verv eizard out on't. when t might he growing better every day. p ['housands of jcrez every year are turned I ito barrens, while an everlastingstrenm ofr or folks are streaking it nll' ' to the new ountry,' where about half on 'cim after vding about among the tadpoles to catch alfish enongh to live on a year or two, t etilly shake themselves to death with that i verlastine envs of nil new countries, the q ver and agur. It's a neelchlnv fact, .Squire. It's a mel-meholy fant. 'Squire, bio' our people d on't -er to be sensiblei f it, and you int I mIny not live to see itI ut if this awful rnhbin' of posterity goes n for another hundred years. as i1 has for lie laet, among the fairmers. we'll be a nn io of pauperQ. Talk aouit the legisla- , are doitng soiethin2. I'll tell yon what I'd i ave 'eml io: Paint a great parcel of gide s oards, and nail 'emo ui over every legis. arure, church, and school house door in s imerica, with these words on'em, in great r iters, ' The best land in America by con ant cropping, without manure, will run e ut.' And I'd also have 'em provide ' ieans to larn every cl:ild howt to read it. :ause it's no use to try to larn ihe old ones. hey're so sot in their ways. They are on f lie constant sireich with the land they I ave, and all thet titme trying to gi; miore,i vithout improving tiny on't.-Yes, ycs o much land is the ruin of us all.''

The hearts ofsaints are larger thant their iords; butt the words of hypocrites atre arge, thn their hcnrts. The Reigiois Deeirer.-To the inqui y, " Why must I submit mny retsoo ;and -onscience to you ?'1 They reply, we are lie true Church ; and there can he no sal iotion out of the true Church. Thus, hey take huld of that elemnentary fear vbich makes man a religious animal. 'hey build iheir fraud, not oin the ordinary )rinciples of deception, hut on iat by vhich we are prepared for eterinity. The mnd they propose is identical with that which is sought with every other sySatem >f fraud. Those who get rich by quak ry ii medicine, evntde the principles of clence, and the claims of benevolence, lint. appealing to the rear of disease and lenth, they may vend their nostrums with iceuninry'advantage. The robber, on i igh way, seizes with open iurpitude, what le desires; but others. not so buhlt, and lepeniling less on physical strength. con eal their intentions until their object has >een gained by the consent of their vic im. The quack in nedicinc aniins this, y appealing to the fear of death, and ho. ily suffering; but the quack in religion tains his purpose by appealing to thle ear of hell, and the suifferings ofcontscientce. lis nostrums are intended to cure not the ondy, bit the soul. rhe medical deceiver ays-submit to rme anu to my trcatnent ; md, not witlistanding all the results of sci nee and experience, I will secure your ife and health; in defiance ofrnature how ver, you may provoke her by your daily mprudence. The reliious deceiver says. ihmit to me and to my treatment; regard rhatever I say as true, antid all that I do s right; and, despite of' all that reason nd experience can say, with all the con irmations and truths of Scripture, your onscience shall be healed. and hell shall e avniled: whatever the fault or tialy of our lives. In both cases, also, there is a imilar claim to infallibility ani individual iiportance. The medical impoater can ati cure what no other physician ca' re eve, and he demands a reliance on this stentations claim, until his vietrir'is dead; tit the religiotus imposter affirtms his ex lusive influlibility in stron.rer tertms, de anding the confidence of his victim until te soul is damned.-C. S.outl. Wrelding Iron and Steel.-Perhaps ma y of our smiths, who have not seen the ;lowiug, inay derive some advantage -om its perusal. As iron and steel are compounded more r less with sulphttr, copper, and ar-senlie. '66-h. ir ors rInminvate too mnch, will revent the'ir teing welded sound, it nany e of some importance to blacksmiths to now what remedies to apply in such ca Ds. When iron is compounded with stil. hur, it is apt to burn helire a welding eat can tie raised. In this ease, a little nslacked stone lime, ponded up very ie, to be uised instead of sand, will ath irh the sulphur, an- etale the sinith to ehla it snun. Tfhui a small qunitiiy or opper enters int the compoition of iron. will rrn.ler it heitile when hot. and a112h When cobt. In this case, salt or al nom.ttn-inia. shotild be used with fthe 3ad(, whielb evap'rate the copper antd revent tlie iron from breaking wheta it is ery hot. Arsenie etterally predoiriinates i iron that is very brittle 'when cold. A mall qutantity of salt petre should then be sed wish the sand for welding. Iron or tel i entirely free from either of those ernicious substances, will work sound, reld with ease, and be very tough when aild. This is what is called good iron. he same may be said of steel. A frant too ofotat found with blacksmiths . that their work is not sounel, when in ict the fault is in the iron they work. A tile attention to ascertaini the qtalities of otn, atnd to apply the proper remedies. ill enalte them to make theair work soutnd, r, at least, as good as thte Atality of the on wilt admit. In wveldittg iron and eel togeiher for eadge tooks, it wilt be of' ervice, (at least it can do noi harmn even the irotn and steel hie ever soi anod,) to ave a little lime, salt, atnd salipetre mixed t h the sand cotmmonly uzsed in weldintg. ~his tmixture tmakes ain excellenit flux for ~ekling, amd at the same time prevents te iron from bunuini, and eniales the mithi to raise a sutflicient hent to weltl it errectly sound,. even to the very centre f the bar.-Mlechafnic's Magazine. Though thess Marriages.-!It is unwise a indutlge any presenitiment that we are orti to itt fortune anid that the issue of our ndertakings wilt ho unlprosperous. We re most of uts apt to pitch our expecta ons too high, anti when disappoinited wve rore the result to any catuse but otne im rudence. A girl, for exam ple, matkes an n prudtent mnririnte ; she purs her neck into de tnse wIth her eyes shut, and whein lie inds it atn iromn chain instead of a silken ord, she lays the fait, not uipotn her ownt idiscretion. but uipon- her destiny ; whtile er friends, tnot more rejtcetive than her lf, cotnsole her with thte assurance that 1arriages are not made in Heaven. Love ;certaiinly a most delightful feeling, but thappity it is not like the widow's cruase f oil. There may lie here anad there, a art-a female heart-that has an ox anstless store but such a treasure is niot to e reckoned upon01. Thte tender passion ke every thing that is render-must he steredl, anda fed, and ntourished, or its trngth will imperceptabily fadle, and its nrgies die awvay. Above all, it must lie helered from the blight of poverty. rThose rho have beent from birth accuistomed to rtuggle ont without repining, and those ,ho have never kntown what it is to be or, shioult never, by ar'. imprudent mar inge exnose themselves to becotme so. There is a great dilTerence between the ne cessaries of life, and the necessaries of our condition in life. Both parties would do well to consider the great importance of this distinction before they enter into that for better for worse tie, which should the cares of lire overtake them, will undoubt edly be anything but a true lover's knot. LIFE SAVED BY LAUGHTER. " The health of Marasnius," says Mr. Charles Buittler, " was always very deli cate, aund he now hegan to feel the infirmi ties of oli age. lie was inflicted by an imposthnne, and the worst was feared, when he was cured of it in an extraordi nary manner. * * The perusal of the celebrated "Literm Obscuorum Vivorim," threw him into a fit of immoderate laughter, the impos thtnme burst, and the patient was cnred. A like tale is told of Dr. Patrick Scougal, a Scottish Bishop, in the seventeenth cen tury. Att old woman earnestly besought him to visit her sick cow ; the prelate, af ter many remonstrances, consented, and walking round the beast, said gravely, "if she live, she live ; and if she die she die, she ulie, and I can do um Thair for her." Not long afterwards he was dangerously ttlrieted with a qljinsy in the throat; the old woman having got access to his cham her, walked rotund his bed, repeating the charm which she believed had eured her cow, whereat the Bishop was seized with a Fit of laughter, which broke the gninsy, and saved his life.-Ten. Farmer. War'n and Cold Baths.-On t he health fulness of warm hathing there can be no doubt; indeed, it is astonishing that it is not more generally ktown and practised, that a cleani and healthy state of the skin contributes essentially to pramote not ontly henthh and cheerfulness, but also longevity; the light and agreeable feeling consequent on the tse of warmn baths, fully confirms this-not only from the pecnliar softness of the skin which is the result of it, but the muscles and limbs seem to acquire from it increased e!asticity. Some persons imagine that warm bath ing exposes those who practice it to "catch cold." Nothing can be further from the fact. Colds are oftener produced by im peded perspiration. caused by an accumu lation of matter which has filled the pores: warm hat hintg opens ieti and promotes a free and healthy perspiration ; und its re petition takes off those impurities which otherwise nttnet tit ila persons urvitose or the mjost htilthy hudis, who do nut prac tice warm bnthing. Cold bathing is qptite a dilrerent thing: with young, strong and iealthy persons, it is a brm:ing luxury and an agreeable exer cise; tle sick and weakly should never practice it except under the instructions ofr their medical advisers. Paint your tools.-E very farmer should be prov~iled with it sna ll quantity of coar. ser kind of painis-a (nw paintt pots and brushtes and paint oil. It is very easy to mix them. and by keeping a small supply, ie might keelp his implements always in 1 good stale of preservation. The expense wouhl be trifling, and the trouble next to nothing ; and besides it is wisely ordained that we cain neither sow nor reap without trouble. The greatest of all troubles must be that of having nothing to do. To have a place for every tool onl the farm, and to keep them all painted and in good order, and when not used, protected li-om sun and air, ought to be an amusing, as it is un dotbtedly a iitiling obligation on every farmer.-Aterican Farmer. T iave often had occasion to rematk the furtitude wvitht which women sustaitn the most overwhelming reverses of fortmitte. Those disasters which break tdown the spirit of man, and prostrate lim in the 'lust, seem to call forth all thte energies of the softer sex, and give sunch intrepidity anid elevation to their elraracter, that at timnes it app~roachies to sutblimity. Noth ing catn be more touchinag thatn to behold a soft and tender female, who htad beeni all weakness anti dependence, anti alive to every trivial roughness, while treading the prosperouts patth of life. suddenly rising int mten-tal force to be the cotuforter and sup p)orter of hter htusband unuder misfortu~ne. andI abidling, with unshrinking firmness, the hi tter blasts of adlversity.-Irc'ing. Frienzd.-Thtere are few persons int thte wvorldl, who are so poor, that they have no friend to shiare their sorrows and partakeof their joys. But while we are blest wvith kind friend.,. it shtould be thie wvarmn desire of our hearts to piromote their interest. They "'shouldi jive in our hearts by the enmotin which sultsiet there-in our mtemo ry, b~y our fragrant remiembrance of rhemt -m our voice, by our eulogiums-in- nttr couduct, by our i mitations of their virtues." Perrenes.-Attn~t ki dy said her husband was very fotnd of peaches, and that was btii only fault. "Fault mndam," said one, "how can you call itat a fath ?" "Why, beca use there are different ways of eating them, sir-. My husband takes them int the form of Brandy."

The shade of the corn seems to he useful in dry weather, as the beets with the corn did better than others in an open pateh alongside. Thii was practised in Pennsylvania, where it may be more seccessful than in colder climates ; but we would suggest to farmers who have a warm, drysoil. an experiment on a small scale,- Yankee Farmer.
