They, the true-hearted, came, | Not with the roil of stirring drum, Or the trumpet that sings of fame, — Not as the flying come, 1 In silence and in fear; They shook the depths of the desert's gloom With their hymns of lofty cheer. Amidst the storm they sang, And the stars heard, and the sea ; And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rang To the anthem of the free : The ocean eagle soared j From his nest by the white waves' foam. And the rocking pines of the forest roared ; I This was their welcome home. What sought they thus afar? Bright jewels, bright jewels, bright jewels of tiie mine, The wealth of seas, the spoils of war? They sought a faith's pure shrine, j Ay, call it holy ground,— The spot where first they trod ; They have left, unstained what there they found, Freedom to worship God ! iisre I lauto us, A Hermit. '1 lie following communication, recently published in a Cecil paper, tuny possess interest to those of our readers who are not acquainted with the subject of the sketch : " 1 have thought that some account of Andrew .fob, tfie Hermit, so well known in ill is part of the world, might not be un , acceptable to your readers. " He resides not far from the division line between Maryland and Pennsylvania, in the latter State. He is a stout, healthy man, about 80 years of age, a farmer; hut carries on his farming operations rather different from his neighbors. He digs his ground with a mattock, and then marks it I out with a wheelbarrow, picking of] all the loose stones as he goes along. He raises nothing but corn ; plants it, and never works it afterwards ; so you may ) judge that lie does not raise a very abun dant crop. lie sows no grass seeds, hut ! mows his meadow-lands, and drags his hay home on two pole-. " He w ears no clothing in summer—but daubs himself with mud, to guard against the annoyance of flies. His habit of go ing naked in summer, has caused the hair i • , | to grow upon his body, and like Esau, of 1 old, may be said to be a " hairy man." He never shaves his beard, which is about a foot in length, and hangs down from his chin in matted strings. He is said to be one of the strongest of men, and his strength is attributed bv some to the fact ot his not shaving. He keeps one cow, and milks her himself. He gets no meal nor flour ; hut pounds his corn instead of grinding it into meal ! —cooks all his* own victuals, and lives, although a secluded, yet apparently a nappy life." r Power ot Imagination. A few years since, Elijah Barnes, of ! Pennsylvania, killed a rattlesnake in his field without any injury to himself, and immediately after put on his son's waist coat, both being of one color. He returned i to his house, and on attempting to button his waistcoat, he found to his astonishment that it was much too small. His imagina tion was now wrought to a high pitch, and he instantly conceived the idea that he had been bitten imperceptibly by the snake, i and was thus swollen by its poison, lie i grew suddenly verv ill, and took his bed. *1 le family, in great alarm and confusion, summoned three physicians, and the usual remedies were prescribed and adminis tered. The patient, however, grew worse every minute, until at length his sou came home with his father's u aistcoat dangling about him. The inysterv was soon un folded, and the patient being relieved from ' his imaginary apprehensions, dismissed his physicians and was restored to health. I low to (.'ultivatc He ans. Beans, for early* table use, should he ; planted as soon as there is security from frost. Make large hills—say two feet over and one foot deep, and till in with good manure to within three inches of the top —stamping in the manure as compactly as possible, and cover the whole with loam. Around the edge of the hill, insert your beans, by making holes with your finger, and cover them carefully*. The ' beans should lie within four inches of eacli other, and occupy the circumference of the circle formed by tie edge of the hill. Immediately in contact with each bean in j sert a stick, say* about the thickness of the thumb, ami some six feet long. Crowd it firmly into the soil, and bring the bushy ! tops of all the sticks together at a point exactly over the centre of the hill, and se cure them ch s.dy* with a stout string. If you prefer it, the hills may lie made larger, I indeed of any dimensions from two to six feet, if vou can aflbrd manure and room. : When large hills are made, thev have a very pleasant effect, and appear like cones j of verdure rising from the soii. VALUABLE RECEIPT. —Take plaster anil ' soak it in a saturated solution of alum, then hake the two in an oven the same as gypsum is baked to make it Piaster of Paris, after which they are ground to powder. !t is then used as wanted,being mixed up with water, like plaster, and ap- ; plied. It sets into a very hard compo- I sit ion, capable of taking a very high j polish. It may be mixed with various | coloring minerals to produce a content of any color,and is capable of imitating marble. This is a very rare receipt, and it is worth twenty dollars to many of our subscribers, who can prepare it for themselves. To MAKE WIIITE-WASII. —The follow- j ing receipt is the best known, combining excellence and durability. Take a barrel and slack one bushel of freely burned lime in it, by covering it with boiling i water. After it is slacked add cold water • enough to bring it to the consistency of a good white-wash. Then dissolve in ; water, and add one pound of white vitrol (sulphate of zinc) and one quart of line s lit. 1 Grabbing the Public Lands. The following article from the Rich mond Whig—though written for Virginia, is equally applicable to Pennsylvania: Mr. Downs of Louisiana, in some re- , marks in the Senate, 011 the lowa Land i bill, said, '.Mr. Douglass has earned his title to the support of Illinois for the Presidency, by providing means from the Public Treasury for constructing *164 | miles of railroad in that State.' This, at £20.000 a mile, about the average price of constructing railroads, i would give nearly fourteen millions of dollars. V very good title, indeed, to the support of Illinois—but what sort of title does it give to the support of other States, who have been robbed to that amount ? These fourteen millions of dollars are de rived from public lands, which were ceded by \ irginia to the Union, for the Common benefit of all the Elates, herself included. j 'l ite Democrats, who rule in both bran ches of Congress, among which number is .Mr. Douglass, tell us that it is unconsti- j tutional to distribute these lands among all j the Mates: but it is perfectly right and j proper to appropriate tiiem to particular States. Bv this mode of construction ! and action, Virginia, which is quite as j needy as any other in the Confederacy, is deprived of all shares in that great fund, ller Representatives in Congress sit silent and acquiesce in this grab system. . They are too conscientious to advocate a j general distribution, by which their own Mate would be benefitted—and they pro fess to be unable to prevent others from I seizing upon as much as they want. Hut these others—these grabbers—are their ■ chosen political associates—the very men, whom they are recommending to Virginia, 1 as suitable persons to till the Presidential chair. The Legislature of the State, with 40 Democratic majority, follow in the j footsteps of their Congressional fellows. Tlicv are exploring e\cry nook and corner j in this poor old Commonwealth, inquest i of every cow and hog, and every do mestic. untensil, to lay the heavy hand oi j taxation upon : but their scruples will not permit them to demand tit Congress a fair j poriiou of that vast fund, which was all iter own once—and which is being daily plundered by their own political associ ates. We believe a strong and united ap peal bv the Legislature of Virginia to the Congress of the United States, would ar rest this system of plunder, and give to the Slate its due proportion of the ' com- j mon fun A' ft is hopeles, however, to expect any such step from the Demo cratic majority. They are wedded to their sterile abstractions—sterile of good, at least —though very prolific in mischief to Virginia. Nevertheless, we trust the Whigs will bring this subject before the Legislature and the country.—There is no other j known means for prosecuting internal im provements at the present moment. All the works will have to be stopped for the want of funds—for the taxes to be raised lor existing liabilities, will be fully as much as the people can pay for years to come. The subject, therefore, appeals to every man who feels an interest in de veloping the resources of the Mate ; and 111 fact to every one who has to pay a portion of the enormous taxation, to he levied during the year. Let the issue be made and submitted to the people; whether they prefer to be over whelmed with taxes, and have all their im provements arrested for the sake of Demo cratic scruples —While Democrats from other regions arc plundering the treasury ; or whether they will claim a fund wiiich is justly theirs, and which will relieve them of a large portion of their taxes, and at the same time enable them to prose cute these great works, which are essen tial to our prosperity. On such an issue, we cannot doubt the verdict of the people. They will not, they consent to he j ground into the dust by intolerable taxes, merely to humor the affected purism and antediluvian notions of a set of political Hunkers, who think of nothing but their salaries. Let the issue be tried when the tax gatherer makes his unwelcome round | this summer. £TI E ?L!UMON'!ST, SERENADE, Yake, lady, vake ! the moon are high, The twinklin* star be beamin* ; Vile now and then across the sky A meteor are streamin'.

On making their appearance, the teacher called them ! up bctore the assembled school and pro- i ceeded to make certain interrogatories con cerning their names, ages, etc. Well my fine lad,' said the teacher to the first one, ' what is your name ?' ' Tom !' promptly answered the juve- j nilo. ' Tom /' said the teacher— 4 that does not sound well. Remember always to speak the full name. You should have said Thom-as. Now, my son, (turning to the other boy, whose expectant face suddently lighted up with the fact of a newly comprehended idea,) will you tell me what your name is !' 4 Jack-ass replied the lad, in a tone of confident decision. 'l'he teacher was taken with a sudden fit of coughing, ami merely motioned the lads to take their scats. Au Infallible Cure.

PATIENT.—• Don't suppose, old Ippecac, that I'm drunk ; a little brieky, that's all.' DOCTOR.— 4 These peculiar cases of vertigo are very prevalent, ma'am, and very* obstinate, and a change of climate is j the only remedy.
