My heart was touched with pensive care# To see in grove and lawn The changes wrought in silence there, Since summer's rosy dawn; The voice of nature liymmed to me A dirge of the decay, And joined in saddest symphony/ Tho moments died away, Oh it were sad to wander by j The solemn wood at eve, To bear the birds in autumn's sky< The death of summer grieve, To hear the waves in music flow, A stiller sadder stream, i And feel there rests on all below, A melancholy dream. Yes! it were and to roam tlie dale, In evening's languid hours, And hear the wanton winds bewail The death of summer flowers, To ace how drooping nature wears A mournful face of care, And hear no more the joyous airs Of birds in summer there. But why in sorrow murmur now? Since God has made it so 1 Why wear a weary, pensive brow. The shade of thought bcluv 7 Oh learn how life must pass away, With all of human form Aa fades the beautiful and gay( In autumn wind and stoiin. And like this solemn serious time; In gloom, and shadow cast, The gorgeous hues of summer's clime, All perishclh at las:; Thu? fade our lives like summer's aky, In evening's holy light, W'liilo memories on our spirit lie. The stars of mortal night. From the Gennecsee Farmer. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. The subject which is now attracting much attention, not only in this state, but in many, of the Stales of our Union, is the education ol farmer's sons lor their profession, that of Agriculture. The prejudice which has too long existed among farmers, and which it must be admitted, has arisen fioin a wrong idea of the education proposed, is fast giving away to the light which experience is bring, ing to bear upon this all important matter. No one thinks of preparing his son to he a Physician, Attorney, or Divine, without providing the means for Ins acquiring a particular knowledge of the studies best calculated to prepare loin for the pursuit ho is t<> follow. When we urge the same consideration upon the farmer in regard to the education of his son, for the pursuit of Agriculture, it is not unlrcqiicntly said?"What more is necessary than to learn the lad in the field the toutincof farm labor?the practices which I have pursued as to the manner of preparing my laud?the time of sowing and plantino I" This is all important, and we advocate no system of education that will dispense with it. Suppose we shdt.dd in the case of the physician ad ipt the same rule. The young man, instead of pursuing a course ol study by which lie :s familiarly and thoroughly instructed in the complicated machinery of the human body, the laws which regulate and govern diseases, the peculiar nature and habits of disease, begins at once to visit patients with the physician, pays no attention to the teachings of science and the researches of others; he might eventually acquire iuformatiun that would be uselul. but how much less likely to be successful, than one who, in addition to tins practical education with his instructor at the bedside, had enjoyed the benefits of a thorough education previous to entering upon the active duties of Ins profession. May it not safely be affirmed that every man in a community would prefer the one who had combined with practice, the thorough preparation of himself by all the aids which science and the experi- j euce oi others had afforded him ! It can hardly be necessary in this day of I light and knowledge to attempt to show that | there is tiiueh for every farmer to leuru from j science, to aid him in tins work. The na- i ture of sails, their constituent elements, their I adaption to particular crops, the quality of manures as detei'mine(| by ana \ tin: . lect of beat and cold upon the vegetal: m. { and many other things which can be . . .' / certaiily known through the agency .. ence. Wlial, may it not be asked, is i-> pi t. vent every farmer who shall lie lhuruughi\ ! instructed from availing himscli for practical j purposes of these advantages I '1 lie re- | searches which have been made by scientific ! men, have developed many interesting and important facts?and the tune is not lar dis- i lant when many more will be brought to light, which will greatly lessen the labor of the farmer, and enable linn with economy to admit a system of farming that will remunerate linn liberally. j Perhaps it may be asked, what system, if adopted here, would thus aid the lartncr?? Without at this time giving what I suppose would be a system in every respect well calculated to accomplish such a result, it may be suHicieut to sav ? that a school to prepare young men Ibr the duties that are to devolve upon them, should be so arranged : as to give them a thorough course of education combined with its practical adaptation to the entire work of the farm, even in the most minute portions of labor. To accomplish this, a farm of liberal extent must be connected with the institution where experiments could in the first place he carefully riiadc on some portion of it, and when satis- ' far.torily tested, be carried into practice in the general culture of the farm. An opportunity must also be furnished of tesiinir the qualities o! different breeds of cattle, horses, sheep, and swine. How little is really know n bv the great body of our farmers in relation to these matters. Who is there, from actual trial and experiment, is prepared to say which, of all the breeds of cattle, is best adapted to this Slate, for the Dairy or the Shambles 1 lias a trial and comparison been made between the different breeds < called Improved, and the Native Stock, so that it can be said, this is the best for the farmers of New York ? I answer, ho.?And would ask, is it not important that these questions, so important to the farming interest, should be determined ? And would not I an institution, discreetly managed bv a judicious, intelligent and thorough qualified practical man, in time work out for us a so- ' lution of these questions ? So, too, with regard to horses, sheep, and swine?the above remarks are equally applicable. I ncre is now in this Male a large variety of grains in use?each has its advocates? 1 and yet is it not true that it was declared there are some varieties superior to others and better adnjited probably to our climate and soils 1 Anl where shall these questions be settled more satislactoiilv certainly than ' at an institution with a liberal farm, ofdif- I fereut varieties of soils, where a series of ex- ' perimenis could be carried on with all the varied grains, for a term sufficient to test their qualities in this respect? There are "th;r mailers:*.!! important to be ascertained, and u iut'ii al present arc but little attended to. at ie:;*t iar as the cji at bm.lv ol our j tanner'; are concerned. I aliado to a rota- | ' ti ii <?f crop?, and application of manures J best i aicuia: <i to g.vc profitable returns to j ' th< h!i';nor, v.iii1'.: it secures to him the con- j 1 stant In ti.u> <>!

Where ei-utj ihis j 1 be better ascertaine;.! than at an institution 1 where a >cri?.s ul experiment* u;th different i crops, at different rotations, and w.th varied 1 manures, carefully nnnKzed couid be carried ! '>ui ? 1 (i cadi of these oases, lime is nec.es- I sary to obtain satisfactory rcsuils?and !lie > Slate, at an institution of (his kind, could I secure such results as would in the end greatly add to the prosperity and success of i the farmer, in the management of his farm. ' Permit an: to caution my readers not to I expect looinucli at once from an institution < in every respect rightly adapted to the wants I of the fanner. Tune will be required for it ' to developc its advantages. The work of ' improvement is not the work of a day or of a year. Experiments, to bo useful, must be < long continued, often-repealed, before they J can he relied upon?and although a young ? man trained ia on institution thoroughly, will i himself bo prepared to do great goud, yet J the great practical benefits to the farmer as t to the general course of his operations, both < to his crops, manures and animals, must be 1 a work ofiime?and cannot be hastily deci- ' tied with safely. 1 Should 1 have leisure, and should you not i have more important mutter for your pa- * per, I design to pursue tins subject, and goc < in doiail the course to be pursued at art institution which, in my judgment, would be well designed to accomplish the great work 1 needed?the Thorough Education of the ? Sons of Farmers. < ?..... i Moravians and Moravian Marriages. 1 ?The Moravians have very singular notions 1 as it respects forming matrimonial connec- 1 tiulis. It is deemed disreputable for young ) men and young women to associate together 1 on any occasion, or to cultivate any acquain- ' lance. The more effectually to keep them 1 apart, the two sexes have separate iiabita- 1 tions, where they live and carry on their 1 respective vocations. And not only this, ' but in the church there is a partition, high as i ' the roof, running from the pulpit the whole 1 length of the house; males occupy the one ( side, fcmal 'S the other. But now to the suorv tlint put me on wri- ' ting the article. The venerable old man ' dial narrated it to me, nearly a half a eeutu. ' ry ago, was one of the most spiritually mind. J cd men 1 ever saw. I never think of him 1 without being reminded ol the Apostle's de" 1 scriplioii ol the cluistiaii whose "cmiversa* ' tioo is in Heaven." 1 Fcr many years, he told me, he had been ' steward of the yoaug men's house at Grace I Hill, and had not the least thought of ehan. ' . n . . I ging Ins situation, or of taking unto himself 1 a wile, till an event oecuned that required f him to do both.

I Well, he placed himself on the post of oh. ? servation, and, Oh ! horror ! to his unspeakable amazement, an old, decrepit female, with ' a stall'in one hand and a basket of euciini- 5 tiers (laiiuiiiiir from the other,-J came nut nl 1 the female house.

His mental, anguish lor several hours was altogether imhseriha- | bio. Hut towards evemrg an explanation | was made which completely relieved him. < At the time agreed u|>ou by the matron she' < \Vent into the kitchen with the basket and asked the head cook, who happened to be the chosen woman, to have the goodness to step over to the pastor's house with these cuembers as a present from* her, as they were the first of the season, which she promised to do, and the elderly laey withdrew. The cook, not knowing that any thing particulardepcrided on her carrying the basket, asked a transient woman who had come into the kitchen to beg a meai of victuals/to do the errflrtd. In the course of the day the matron was apprised of the mistake, and to complete the anxiety of the pastor elect, lie was introduced to the bride elect. The introduction threw him inio^aii estacv of 1 rapture. "At first sight." said he, "1 loved | the dear woman with mv whole heart, and now we hate lived together twelve years, and are blessed with one dearly beloved daughter, eleven years of age. And I don't believe that a happier family lives on the lace of the earth." 1 I have been told by ladies educated at Grace Hill, that Moravian marriages, though effected in this strange way, were never known to he unhappy.

Fifteen families, numbering 74 persons from the townships of Yonge and Bastard, passed through Brocktille on" their way to the Slates a few days ago. We are told that a great number more of the old settlers are endeavoring to sell their farms that they may gowestwardr Precisely in the same way are the people clearing out from Lower Canada, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward island?we very believe that during the last mrec years noi less man iu.uuu souls have left this cily and its vicinity.

Death by a Drop of Laudanum.? There is an account in the last number of the New England Surgical Jonmal, of a child being poisoned by the administration of one drop of laudanum, by its mother, for griping. It was a 'fine healthy child, and lived but eleven hours after the laudanum was administered. People should be very careful about the use of drugs that arc reputed dangerous, especially in administering the same to children, who cannot tell the state of their feelings. TWO INCIDENTS IN THE WAR OF 1812. "Fortune favors the brave." A military officer with whom we have dng been intimate, relates two incidents connected with Croghnn's gallant defences )f Fort Stevenson, one ot which affords a strong positive, and the other a stronger negllive proof of the above adge. As the British and Indians, in their operaions, had violated pledges and the usage of civilized warfare by wantonly murdering heir prisoners, the members of Croghan'a ittle band, (only 100 strong with a single sixsounder, and "surrounded by 000 British roops, and thrice that number of Indians,) tad mutually agreed to stand their ground olhe last and sell their lives as dearly as possible. When all was readv, the British command ' i a..- r. A seni a mcssuuuci, uimci a u<ig <n >iuw,iu real for a surrender of the Fort. (Jroghan, jointing to him as he approached, exclaim* ?d:? "It will not do to let him enter here and see our weakness; who will volunteer to meet him?" As it was pretty certain that whoever should leave the Fort on such a mission would be murdered by the dastard foe, there was a brief pause, when Ensign Shipp replied: "I will upon one condition" "What is it?" ask Crogan. ' Pledge me your word as an officer and man of honor, that you will keep that gun jearing directly upon me, and that you will ire it off the moment you see me raise my land " The pledge was given, and Shipp went forth. To all the arguments and persuasions of die enemy, his unwavering reply was: "lam instructed to say that we defend that lort." Soon the Indians began to surround himOne clutched his epaulette, another his jword. Shipp, who was a man of Herculean Irainc, released himself by a powerful effort, and turning to the cneiny coolly sairi; "Sir, I have not put myself under the proeclion of your truce without knowing your mode of warfare* You see that gun, poin. ;ing to the solitary six pounder, it is well charged with grape, and I have the solemn pledge ol my commander that itshall be fired it me the instant that I give him the signal. Therefore restrain these men and respect the law of war, or you shall instantly accompany me to the other world." This was enough. Shipp .was no more molested; lie returned to his comrades in safety, and fought out the desperate action llial ensued and obtained promotion for his bravery. The circumstance referred to at the head jf this article, was told as follows: After the Hrilish and Indians had withilrawn, Croghan missed one man (only one) who had belonged to his little Wand, and all .Iforts for his discovery, were lor some time unsuccessful. At length his remains weie iiscovcred in the garret of one of the blockhouses, where he had crept for safety and was cot in too by a cannon ball. All the rest, considering their chances ol life not worth a thought, had only sought to do their duty, and escaped alive, from perhaps the most desperate fight on record.
