THE FIRMER'S SONG.
Success to the jolly old farmer, '
Who sings at the tail of the plough,
The monarch of prairie and forest,
'Tis only to God he may bow ;
Ile is surely a fortunate fellow ;
Re raises his bread and his clictese,
And though hard is his tabor in summer,
In winter he lives at his ease,
When the reign of chill winter is broken,
And spring C01110: 4 to gladden and bleu ;
When the flocks in the meadow are sporting,
And the robbin is bulluiuf her nest—
The farmer walks forth to his labor,
And manly and firm is his tread,
Ai he se-Uteri his seed for the harvest,
That yields to the nations their bread.
Uis banks are all chartered by nature,
Their credits are ample and sure ;
ins clerks never slope with deposits,
Pursued by the curse of the poor.
His stocks are the hest in the market,
Ilisshares are the shares of.his plough;
They bring the bright gold to his coffers,
And pleasure and health to his brow.
When his crops are all gathered and sheltered,
When his cattle are snug in the fold, •
lie ~ i ts himself - 0u n by his fireside;
And Laughs at the tempest and cold.
A stranger to pride and ambition,
'llls duty he strives to fulfil,
Determined. whatever beti,le him,
To let-the world jog us it will.
troxt is in II i m who has given
seasons, the sunshine, and rain;.
Who has promised "seed time and harvest,"
So lung as the earth shall remain.
And if from his duties he wander,
Led on by hit 'venturous \via',
"Throtwh life and its changing relations,
God's providence follows him still.

Sir Walter Scott says that the alleged origin
of the invention Of yards produced O ne of the
shrewdest replies he had ever heard given in
evidefice. It was made by the late Dr.
Gregory, of Edinburg, to a counsel of great
eminence at the Scottish bar. The doctor's
testimony went to prove the insanity of the
party whve,e mental capacity wits the point at
issue. On a cross examination he had admit
tedthat the person in question •played mind ra
blv at whist.
- "And do you solemnly say, doctor," said
the learmA counsel, "that a person having a
superior -capacity fur Li game so difficult,
whieb requires, in a lyre-eminent degree,
inemOry, judgment, and combination, can be
at the Ilille deranged in his understand
ing?" "1 am no card player," said the doc
tor, with great address, "hut 1 have read in
history that cards were invented • for the
amusement ')fan insane king." The :tense
quenceof this reply was decisive.

Tanil7a.—The vanilla, so much prized fur
its delicious flavor, is the product of a vine
which grows on the tops of the loftiest trees.
Its leaves somewhat resemble those of the
grape; the flowers are red and yellow, and
when - they fall off are succeeded by pods,
which ,grow in clusters like our ordinary
beaus ; green at first, they change to yellow,
and finally to a dark brown. To be preserved
they are gathered when yellow, and put in
heaps for a few days, to ferment. They are
afterwards placed in the sun to dry, flattened
the hand, and carefully rubbed with cocoa
nut oil, and then packed in dry plantain
leaves, so as to confine their powerful aromat
ic odor - . The vanilla might be made a con
siderable article of trade on the (Mosquito)
coast, but at present only a few dozen pack
ages are exported.
Ancient! bwentions.—There are reasons for
believing that many of the inventions we boast
of at the present day are by no means original.
Iron bridges, it was recently stated in an Eng
lish work, are the exclusive invention of Brit
ish artists, wherea , i it - is well known that there
was an iron bridge at Antioch, in Syria,
erected . some time before the first crusade ; it
had nine arches, and at each end thei-e was a
massive stn tower of solid masonry. Gun
powder, 6,1- e-arms, paper and printing were
not new dpcoveries in the arts by Europe,
butiflk had their orig,it.—so. there is good
ground
,for believing—in. China and the In
dies. The mariner's compass, also, fir which,

A Shrewd Reply.
Night Scene in a Young Lady's led Chamber.
Last Tuesday night, which will-be remem
bered as one of the warmest of the season, a
young lady of the West Eml was excessively
frightened at a little circumstance which
transpired about the hour of midnight. The
Young lady, whose beauty is only equalled by
her modesty, and whose "eyes' dark charm"
has caused more than one waistcoat to palpi
tate, had retired to her chamber, where, after
aside the greater part of her wearing
a - pparel, she committed herself to the tender
embraces of Morpheus, whose soothing influ
epees were aided by eco ling breath of
Zephyr, who came in at th . (pen window and
fanned her cheeks with his feathery wings.
In a word, she was snoozing finely.
It was, as we said, about midnight, when
the young lady was rouse(' from her delicious
slumber by hearing a noise at the window.—
!l if unclosing her eyes she was startled by
the sight of n corpulent form apparently strug
gling to gain admission to her chamber
the (pen window. It struck her at
once that the intruder had been caught by the
rear of his unmentionables by a nail or some
ether sharp instrument, as he seemed to be
struggling with a firm determination to enter,
Her tirSt thought was to faint—her second,
to give the fellow a push—her third to jump
out 41,4 the window as soon as he jumped in—
her finirth, to scream, which mss immediately
carried into effect. The whistle of the loco
motive on the Iron - Mountain road, when it
gave its first snort on the 4th of July, was not
whisper to the screams of the young girl.—
The whole house, and half the neighborhood,
were awakened by the outcry. The old folks,
three female servants ; and two big brothers,
rushed to the rescue, and broomsticks, mop
handles and bootiacks flashed in the gas-light,
as the household entered the chamber of the
frightened beauty.. An examination of the
figure in the window dispelled . the fears of all,
tiol'ehan! , cd -the' screams of the young lady
into shouts of laughter. The imaginary-"fat
man" was only her - own darling hooped- skirt,
which she' had hung on a hook near the win
(low, and which the wind-had inflated and set
in motion. There was no more sleeping . in
the house that night.—St. Louis Herald.

fEirLarkin Moore was a 'half-crazy, wan
tiering, lazy fellow, who used to amuse the
people in and about Newburyport with his
eccentricities and his music; for Larkin had
a host of old songs, hymns, anti snatehe of
melody, which he rendered, in a plaintive
voice, to familiar airs, and entertained crowds
that would gather around him. Many of
these songs needed only to be dosed in better
words, and they would take their place among
the verses that men would not let willingly
&ie. For example, one of Larkin's songs
caught the'car of a true_poet, who dressed it
up. and it now commences:
'A pilgrim climb'd the mountain height,
Assailed by storm and snow
Larkin went to church one Sunday while in
.Taunton, and Parson Whitney was exercising
his gifts. which were exceedingly few and
small. liis sermons were noted for their
great length and very little dapth—fi)r their
want of thought and the preacher's want of
energy ; so that oftentimes it seemed as though
he would come to the end, if he had but spirit
enough to bring himself to a standstill. Lar

about midway of the church. lie listened
longer than could have been expected of snob

thirdly,. fourthly, and so on to seventhly,

and then exclaimed the minister, "And what

the youthful sou of a well known merchant of
this city, fell into the Water from one of our
wharves, and was only rescued, after the most
strenuous and courageous exertions on the pat t
of a "poor but honest," blacksmith. The
father liberally rewarded the preserver of his
son's life, telling the rescued party that "if
,it
hadn't been for the blacksmith he would have
been drowned." Yesterday the boy fell again
into the water, but this time its depth was not
sufficient to endanger his life—and drawing
himself out, he rushed to the store of his parent
and demanded a reward, saying—"if it hadn't
been for himself, he would have been drown

Justly so, for it is the win. pillar in the edifice

liberty which yew so hiyhly prize. hut, as it is
easy to foresee that, from different (rafters,
mtich pains will

moment that yon should properly estinutte the

collective and individual happiness; that you
should cherish habitual and immovable at

speak of it as the palladium of your safety and

And then speaking of Sectional parties, says:
“In contemplating the causes which may
disturb our Union, it occurs as a matter of se
rious concern, that any ground should have
been furnished for characterizing parties by
ge"grlLPhical denominations-LNorthern and
- Southern—Atlantic and Western ; whence
designing men mny endeavor to excite a be
lief that there is a real difference of local in
terests and views. One of the expedients of
party to acluire influence within the particu
lar districts is to misrepresent the opinions and
aims of other districts. You cannot shield
von rsolves too much against the jealousies and
Heart-burnings which spring from these mis
representalions ; they tend to render alien to
each other those who ought to be bound to
gether by fraternal affection."

!lir. Buchanan on the Wages of Labor.
Mr. Buchanan is and always -has been the
fricud of the laboring man. ~• Read an extract
from his great speech on -the Sub-Treasury,
and the very part Which seine of the opposi
tion presses quote to prove their miserable
"ton cent" charge. He said:
"All ether circumstances being equal. - '
agree with the Senator from Kentucky, that
that country is 'most prosperous where labor
commands the highest wages ; Ido not, how
ever, mean by the term "highest wages," the
greatest nominal amount. During the Revo
lutionary war one day's work commanded a
,hundred dollars of continental paper; but
this would scarcely have purchased a break
fast. The more proper express;on would be
to say, THAT THAT COUNTRY IS MOST ,
PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR. COM
MANDS THE GREATEST REWARD; where
one day's labor will procure, not the greatest
nominal amount of a depreciated currency ;
but most of the necessaries and comforts of
life. If, therefore, you should in some degree,
reduce, the nominal price paid for labor, by re
ducing'your bank issues within reasonable
and safe limits, and establish a inetalie basis
.for your paper circulation, would this injure
the laborer ? Certainly- . not ; because the
price of all the necessaries and comforts of
life are reduced in the same proportion, and
he will be able to purchase more of them for
one dollar in a sound state of the currency.
than he could hare done in • the days of
extravagant expansion for a dollar and a
quarter. So far from injuring, it will greatly
benefit the laboring man. It will insure to
him constant employment, and regular prices,
paid in sound currency, which of all things
lie ought most desire, and it will - save him
from being involved in ruin by a recurrence
of those periodical expansions and contrac
tions of the currency which-have hitherto con
vulsed the country?'
