In the vale of Grasmere, by the side of the high-way leading to Ambleside,is a gate which, time out of mind, has been called the Wishing Gate, from a belief that wishes formed or in dulged there, have a favorable issue. Hope rules a land for ever green; All powers that serve the bright-eyed Queen, Arc confident and gay; Clonds at her bidding disappear; oPniwts she to atiht ?-the bliss draws neat, And Fancy smooths the way. Not such the land of wishes-there Dwell fruitless day-dreams, lawless prayer, And thoughts with things at strife, Yet how forlorn, should ye depart, Ye superstitions of the hcart, How poor were human lire! When magic lore abjured its might, Ye did not forleit one dear right, Oue tender claim abate; Witness this symbol of your sway. Surviving near the public way. The rustic Wishing-Gate! Inquire not if the fairy race Shed kindly influence on the place,' Ere northward they retired; If here a warrior left a spell, Panting for glory as he fell; Or here a saint expired. Enough that all around is fair, Composed with nature's finest care, A nd in her fo ndest love; Peace to embosom and content, To overawe the turbulent, The selfish to reprove. Yea! even the stranger from afar, Raciining on this moss-grown bar, Unknowing and unknown, The infection ofthe ground part'ikcs, Longing for his b.lov'd-whoU mtakes All happiness her owvn. Then why should conscious Spirits fear The mystic stirrings that are here, The unc;entt faith disclaim? The local Geniuts ne'er befriends Desires, whose course in fully ends, Whlose just reward is shame. Smile if thou wilt, but not in scorn. If sonme, by ceaseless pains ontworn, Here crave an easier lot; If somne have thtiri-ted to renew A broken vow, or bind a true. With firmer, holier knot. And not in vain, when thoughits are cast Upon the irrevocable past, Some penitent sincere Inv for a wvorthier ftuttre sigh. Whiile trickles from his duwucast eye No unavailing tear. Thme Worldling, pining to be freed From turmoil, who would tutrn or speed The current of his fate, Might step before his favored scene, At Nature's call, nnr blush to lean Upon the Wi.-hing-Gate.

'Whnt sh all I do," said to himself one night Ubitious-Hodge, "to win myself a name, ad from obscurity awake to fame I 'hall I a poem or a novel write Jr run for Congress at the next-clectiou )r rival Brandreth,and invent a pill )rget a license legally to kill )r with Drike's College shall I form connex ion )r study law?" Iludge paused and muscd awhile, Leaped up at length and shouted thus aloud, While as a sunbeam shooting 'itwart a cloud, Mong his swarthy fice there gleanied a suile, 'Egad I have it-yes-it is the liet rll raise the biggest Hog in all ihe West!" THE OLD. BACHELOR. The old bacheloris a kind hearted, busy >ld soul, quizzed and loved by every one n the. sphete of his acquaintance. His nethodical precision of word and netion Iraw down upon him the laughter of the roung and the approbation of the old. dis warm heart nakes him beloved by all vho dwell within the circuit of nis kindlv 'elings. He is a favorite amongst the la lies, from the fat widow at the manor iouse to tle latudress who sings over the svashing tub at the door of her humble :otage, and gives a threefold attention to he pleating of the bachelor's shirts. She niows the worth of her particular custo mer, and for him alone does she re-starch tud re-iron every rebellious fold in his ]in mn, as if she were anxious to preserve his :baracter for unrivalled cleanliness and ieatness without a sarcasm. The old )achelor is a being predestined from his :radle not to marry, and yet he is tiniver sally gifted with a most susceptible heart. rhere is no man more alive to the fascina ions of female beauty and intelligence, here isno heart which has received Cu id's arrows more often, and sighed more enderly over their wounds. At college ie stood alone for romtatce and dress; his iost fitted him exquisitely ; his cont was ierfeer; and his gluves'-our bachelor vas 2eiug of the mtan. His heart was a mix ure ofpride, vanity and generosity, kind ind yielding to a fauli. with a warm spice >f the devil to tetper it withal. if olfend d. His first love was enthu-iastic and irdent. The lahv of his love was older han himself by a fiw years, atol, of course is cousin. Most men begin lifie by wor hipping a coui,; the tie of rela ioaship oes away witb that chilling reservo and wkward timidity, inseparable compan ons of passion, w hen it awakens for the irst time itt the humnt breast. lie loved er like a fool; cherished a withered flow r she had worn; sang the songs she liked -would have s-rved her ot his knees had he required it; and died for one kiss front ier rosy lips!

But the fair cousin married, and eft the stwiecnt to forget her if he could. le thougi to break his heart in despair, Itd found that ie lived onaly a little sad ler than usual. Even thten his elowstu lents naned him the bachelor, lie was so acntiiar in his ideas, so neat, ro orderly, :o tatethodical. It would be too loig to 'race him t hirogh his dilferent ad ventures; 1is stflicieint to give a generai otline of hi. ife it would he, niko, almnost inii possiblie to aace ima in his dii ferient passoins.

Whaltt womtan was riot proud to inasptire a passiont which entlied forth till thle eneregies of a first rate geninis. Anid so otur bachelor went on his way' through life, stringitng htearts like beatds, :nd flitgiig themt away~ whlen they were n lontger new, to htear thiemi breaik bennrtli his feet; at il iitow, when lie has paissedt in tot the "'set-c antd yellow leaf,"' he retuitrns to the retembrancue of those lie wvooed anil woo, antd wies he couti ma tke t hem hais again. Ye-t !ie wotuld not marry-he cuhti nt, so long has lie been in lie habit ofdorinig all rte sex, thiat untless lie c-oubd wed themt all he coubul rnot wish to he na ushand, neither would ii lhe pnosib.!c to finr it hnitines theltmarried stare. Ele could not sing to his-wife, whi he'*a his own forever "-Then thou art the lire pulse of my licart, My very soul is thine.; Why did we meet love, but t6 part, Why canst thou not be mine I I saw ihe briaht tears in tline eyes, And yet mine dared not star1; I listened to thy tified sighs, And felt that we must eart! Go! and he thine a piond fcareer; My fate lies lid in gloom, For thea life's smiles, for me its tear, Love's angnish and the tomb." - And so our bachelor has lived, sighed and flattered his little day upon ?arth flirted with all the married ladies, (lanced with all the young deubantes at their first hall, and made many a. light heart heavy, anld a gay one ache,,t his inconstancy. ils talents have dr iv iim into the world -le has a name and a staidiug, and tn small portion of literary fame: but with all he is lot a little sad and loeij.' is com fortable home-he inisses .spethiug and cannot tell whant, and it" ild be rank heres' to hilit th'at it'was a wife. In his old age.he is the hetan of the spinster's tea-table, the delight of the widow's card party, lie has all the news of the day. the gossip of the town at his finger's ends; and with the young people he is an eqal favorite, he shows them tricks on the cards, tells fortanes, sings comic songs, and makes hinself a fol for theiraiusemenet. With mammas le is an ins aluable crea ture. lie cant give his arm to Issabella on leaving the ball-room, and thus screen ier from the soft nothingness of a penei less adorer: or if a rich aspirant escorts the fair daughter, mnammca seizes the ready arm of the bachelor, who possesses neith er eves or ears when lee sees they would inconvenience his parrner. Ile mi skcs one in a round game, is ready to inke part in charades, le godfather at a christening, and guardian at need: every body loves him, from ite servant. whomet le palagutes with his quaaint notions ofneatntcss, to the beggar at his gates: not one voice is raised against the old bachelor, for all agree that whatever he his failings lie has a gener ous hand and a good heart, is kited as a master, and sincere as a friend. The following description of himself, given by Lorenzo Dow, jr., a popular preacher through the colunias of the New York Stnday Mereury, is at once clotiuent, as the lineiaments of the face ii the most natural initaiture ever depicted by the hand of the most skilfual Iimnce rc: "What a pr'ec-ioUs piece of goods I am! hardly fit for a mock auction slopj-a dam aged remnant ofryouthfil ambition-notI eatean by titte, growil flimsy by age, and scratched to pieces by the caresdisappoint ments and trials of a vexatious world.

CULIVATION OF PEAS. Thferatje probably but few crops .tha more amply remunerates the grower to the cost offultivation, when rightly man aged than-'pens. They constitute a ms -excellent and nutritious food for hogs, ant as they may be raised on almost any soi that'is moderately fine and dry, they ar jitstly prefeired by many of our most judi cious and enlightened agriculturists, tt nical orcorn. Land naturally abounding in red sorrel even if it lias been rendered sterile and un. productive-,,y long and excessive crop ping, will erally, ifsubjected ton clean sing-crop the year previous, produce good peas. I have upwards of an acre of "Marrow fa" nowr growing on a soil of this de scription, and which, judging from preseni aippennesi, will vield a heavier nett in. come than iuy other piece of similar di mensions oji the farm; many of the vines having air dy attained the length of fou fret, an.d1 esenting in their innumerable pods ap ws, the most promising indi cat ionsF abundant 'yield.' I plo'ighIl the first of May, and sowed (about threeland a quarter bushels to the acre,* Oiihe Furrow: The ground was thoroughlf Nd carefully barrowed with a light twolorse barrow, and the surface smoothed itlh a "Drag Roller,"-an im pleneut by' the way, of such essential utility, that no farmer should, according to my view, be without one, and which an, person possessing the most ordinary attrif hutesof "constructive genins," may fur nish in a few'hours, for himself. Some farmers prefer drilling their peas. This system is indubitably a good one, but vill be found, I think by mtany, and especially by those who are scant of "helps." to involve many and serious in conveniences. from which the more ordi. nary and expeditious method of broad cast soving, is exempt. I have known an excellent crop to be obtained, by simply depositing a few peas -say six or eight in a hill with potatoes. They are tioletritnent either to the growth or cultivatin of the latter, as they require a specific ru'rimetit, which they are ena bled to oktain without infringing in the slightest degree upon the pabulum specifi cally appropriated to the potatoe. The fact is now, I believe generally recognised liv all 'ndicingprmers, that lecurinous tion of their..cutrimentfrom the soil, a fact which is amply and incontrovertibly estab lished by the circumstance of their grow ing and fldurishing in full vigor, for weeks after the pedicleor Toot stalk, has become dry for several inches above the surface of the soil, and consequently incapacitated either to imbibe or transmit moisture ii stificient quantity for the growth and sus tenance of the plant. By practising this system, reveral ob jects of essential importance with farmers are obtained. First, purity ofseed-a ve rv important consideration with the Neal Farmer, certainly; and, Secondly, cheap ness of cultiratior, which under present exigencies, is of no less importance, pro. hably, than the first. Mfore ott this topic anon. Exr TmnrALtST. tlainv will dontlitess regard this as an er. ror; int 6n my opinion the practice of sowmi one ntd two, and sonmetinmes two and a hall Iiusiels to the acre, which has generally pre vailed amtiong us. is the radical and etlicienti cuse of ftilure in the cnitivation of peas. I have niadeseveral experiments iii order to ais certain tihe right quality, and have inivariably scceeded best when I have benim liberal ofmy s-cl. The smaller the size of the pea, the smaller of c murse will be the Inamntity reqmured.

I Cause and efrect are generally inuich rurther apart than most people are in the habit ofsupposing. Who knows but that the extraordinary exertions now making by Great Britain to supply herself with raw cotton from the.East Indian posses sions may among their very first results, add $50,000 per annum to the wealth of the American People, by introducing in the United States a home supply of silke, wines, and foreign fruits. This is looking far away for a cause, but such a result is certainly among the strong probabilities of the time.-Cincinnati Advertiser. From the New York Star. SOMETHING Nvw.-The orterous duties of our daily calling are occasionally reliov ed by the pleasant employment of chroni cling some labor saving invention; and a case of the kind we have just been called upon to notice. Col. James Hamilton, one of the Vice Presidents of the American Institute, a I mechanic of great ingenuity and of most praiseworthy industry, has just completed and patented a New Saw Mill. Its chief recommendation is great sim plicity and cheapness of construction. It is believed that the cost of making one of the largest class will not exceed two hun dred dollars. With trifling expense it can be removed and re-established in any spot where the land is tolerably even. In short, it can be taken into the midst of a forest and fully set at work with a few hours of preparation. Again, it can be used whh any kind of power; but what constitutes another and one of its best recommenda tions, is that it can be successfully used by manual labor. It will prove invaluabein the construe- h tion of Rail Roads. It can be moved to keep pace with the daily wants of the P road, sawing any kind of lumber in the making of them; and is of so simple a construction that scarcely any instruction cl is necessary in order to enable common S( laborers to work it. Another striking fea- i inre of its usefulness is,' that the logs to he r; sawed are not elevated much above the level of the ground; and that the saw posses through the log, instead of the log ft passing through the saw. T1is is a very tr great and important improvement. It saves all rhe vast labor of hoisting up heavy logs wi{7 F3g them to their proper place; ]H pensive, and -it a1s6f 5saves TUMrDtTne- E usual space required in the common way , to cut up a log in. a There are many tdistricts of our wide s4 spread country where the face of it is flat, n and where the timber abouuds of the very g bestiquality, but where it is almost value- y less, because of the great distance to saw s, mills. This invention will enable the " owners of such lands to transport the V boards and planks to the nearest point of navigation, and by it can sucressully compete with other manufacturers of lum ber. Getting Comfortable."-Croton Cro- 0 ker tells a wonderful story of the quantity r of liquor necessary to get a man "com- i fortable." It is that in the case of a gen tleman whose life was insured, the com pany resisted payment, on the ground that the death of the insurer had been hastened by hard drinking, To combat this, the heirs would of course introduce witnesses 0 to prove how much could be taken daily, i before a man would be subject to the charge of being a hard drinker. Hard drinking witnesses 'ould of course beest I to establish the quantity; and one of them swore that for the last eighteen years of his life lie had been in the habit of taking every nightfour 4 twenty tumblers of whis- 1 key ptinch. "1 R1-ecollect yourself, sir,"said I the examming counsel. Four and twen- I sy ! you swvear to that. Now (lid you nev er drink five aind tv-enity? "' 'I am on t.,ys oath," replied the witness, and I wile swear no further, for I never kept count eyond the two dnzen ; though there s no saing howv many beyond I might drinik I to make myselfeomlbrtnble: but " twLenty four's my stint!" We shoul think that a I man might ordinartly get comfortable on such a stint, Nthe gentlemian prescribed to himnself, ,,ithiout going beyond it , but there's u'. uccoutinitg for habit. rery Afecting.-A sentimental yotuth. having seen at young damsel shedding1 tears over something in her lap, took the first opportunity to be introduced to her, ad tnade no do-ubt shc was a congenial spirit. " What work was it that affected you t so~ much the other morning 1 1 saw you sed a great many tears. Was it Bulwver's last ?" . , SI don: know what Btulwer's last is," returnted shte, " but I assure you I was do ing a job which always almost kills ime. 1 was p)eeling otions.' Comforis of thec Poor.-The poor man has his wife anid childreni about hitn-aund what has the rich mani more ? He has the sane enioymett of their society, the saome solicitutde for thieir wrel fare, the same plea sure in their gnod quahities, improvement, and success; their connexioln with him is as strict andl itiato, their attachment as Istrong, their grafiiunde as warm. I have no propensity to envy any one, least of all the rich and great; btut if' I were disposed to this weakneoss, the suibject of tmy envy would ho a healthy young man, in full pos session of his strength and faculties, going f forth in a morning to work for his wife and children, or bringing them home his wage5 nta night. Innate reserei-No nfan or woman ever old all they thought to any other maid or Voman. There is alwadys a reserves and reserve productive of a thousand vital: :onsequ.ences to ourselves and others. It foes not sprin-g from hypocricy, deceit or ven disingenuousness, but often from a vant of moral courage,- and other iimes iom the best and kindness of feelings. Phey dislike to hurt and be hurt-dhe wiph lot to offend, self love and many -stibile auses, tend to confirm this innate and mmovable principle in human nature; nd it is probable, that even in-the trans >orts of the deepest and most impassioned diections, the whole bosom thoughts of no %s ere never disclosed to another. The Boston Courier says-". We know f hut two classes more contemptible than heep stealers, and those are the wrhers vho are in favor of the present shinplaster ystem of Middle and Southern States and hose who send anonymous communica ions to editors." There is another class, >erhaps unknown to the editor of therCou ier,but quite too common in these diggingt, pon whom sheep stealers would look rith contempt-we mean that class who re in the habit of taking a newspaper DMe two or three years and cheating the, rinter out of his pay! You have none of hese kind o' customers down in old Bay tate. have you, Mr. Courier? Farmers, Mechanics, and Working Men, enerally, are the bone and sinew of de iocracy. They seldom ask offices; but iy are always keen sighted in penetrat ig the difference between the true heart. aI ademocrat and the mere time serving emagogue; between him who lives that e may aid the cause of democracy, and im who aids the cause of democracy tha . e may live. They are always for princi les, not men; reality, not fiction. Those men are always found to com lain the most of hard times and bad pri s, who add least to the productive re urces of the country. The farmer who, his labor creates value from the earth, rely complains; and need never ithe ligently follows the plough. Let those ho complain, remember there is an in tlible cure for hard times-honest indus y.-Genesee Farmer.

" Why, I have .iust flogged venteen, and they are happy it is over: 1 the rest are happy they have escaped?" If married ladies would consult their usands instead of their friends, on wat ers concerniing both, there wvould be less arh feeling and more comfort among the artis.
