Berm! Hymn.
Gut of the rolling yr sr ! to Thre
- Our song shall rise--vrtinse bounty pours
_fa many a goodly gill, with free
And librrol hand our autumn r4•nos!
No firstlings orour ports we
NO soaring clouds of incense
But on Thy hallowed shrine «e toy
Gur grateful hearts in saerifice,
Burn on thy breath, the lap Of Spring '
Was heaped with mAnyia l blooming &Aver
And smiling Summer jnyed to bring
The sunshine and the gentle shower;
And Autumn's rich luauriance now—
The ripening seed, the bursting shell,
And gulden shear. and laden bough—
The fulness of Thy bounty tell;
No menial throng, in princely dome,
Here wait a titled furd'a behest;
But many a fair and peaceful home
Hath won thy peaceful dove a guest,
No groves of palm our fields adorn—
No myrtle shades or orange bowers—
But rutting meads of golden corn,
And fields of waving grain are ours.
Safe in Thy care the landscape o'er
Our flocks and herds sectirtly stray;
No tyrant master claims our store,—
No ruthless robber rends away,-
No fierce volcano's withering shower—
No fell simoon with poisonous breath—
No burning sans with baleful power.
Awake the fiery plagues of death.
And here shall rise our song to Thee,
Where lengthened vales and pastures lie,
And streams go singing wild 'and free,
Beneath a blue and smiling sky,
Where neer %gas reared a mortal throne,
Where crowned oppressor never trod.
Here—at the throne of Heaven alone,
Shall man, in reverence, bow to God.

only what kind of grain will grow best on a
particular field, but he will know what kind of

imall Farms.
. - .
We are glad the Farmers throughout the eoun
try. are discussing this subjeit with so much of
interest and earnestness.
For a long time we hive indulged In extrava
gant fancies in every thing. Large possessions.
and large wealth—these were counted essential.
and few were the men who could toil content
edly on small farms, and be satisfied with a
!touted business. But the experience of the few
lam Years have taught us all, that money. be

When sought for, for its own sake, it is ever a
means of evil. Nor canhe otherwise if

no-se truths have.made 51111 W, but sure progress.
anioug all clas'es ; vet among ,pone more than
the a2rieultural interest of the la'nd.
We may mention the'growing dispostition on
the part of Farmers to possess only as much
land as they can cultivate well as proof of these
remarks. And we cannot hut rejoice at it. For
il rightly directed; their influence will ever be
exerted for the substantial eund of all—since it
possesses, from a variety ofcases, that admixture
wisdom and prudence, which is unwilling to
run foolish risks, or try hazardous experiments an
government, yet which is never backward in
making exchanges whenever in real n they are
ailed for, or urging reform when existing evils
demanded them. Just views of Wipe ensure
just views generall% with regard to every thing
else. And when the !aiming interest practice on
their own soil whatever a wise economy. corp.
fort and real independence may demand, we
may feel assured not only. that their influence
will he rightly directed, but that they will see to
it that these virtues are pacticed in our public a
if ors.
And as a general rule the - possession of as
much land as may be-well cultivated will help
, o establish these virtues. Firs', the firmer who
is so situated can apply his industry better ; se
cond, he can employ all his capital ; thiid, he
can obtain more, and obtain a surer and steadier

those comforts which tend so much to improve
and to civilize all of us ;—a good dwelling.
gond out houses, good fences, gond cattle, greater
fertility of soil, and a better knowledge of his
bu-iness. Nor is this all. When men mea
sin,' themselves thus, by what they can do,
and are z••a!nus to do it, they are not so apt to be
led astray by speculation, by avarice, by social
display . . or any of thkelass of evils which so
nitwit distinb and distress society. They love
the earth they till ; they are eontent to till it. be
ing proud -of the labor of their hands,—they
find, and feel under these circumstances, that
they can do more good to others, and enjoy
themselves better, because necessarily they will
look more to what is in a man than what is a
round him. to Character. rather than the num
ber of acres he may own, or the wealth he may
possess.
•
It is a national blessing. in every way, to
multiply small farms. Show us a state that
has the most of them, and we will guaranty to
tind there the ° greatest amount of substantial
wealth and real happiness. ECOhOnly, it is said
is a mine of wealth. that is practised on them.—
Eaergy is the means to supply this mine ; and
as the truest economy and the stoutest energy
are employed on them. the more s'aall farmers
we have, the .reatvr will be the strength and
wealth of the nation.
Riots on Farming.
There are some things that farmers ought
know.
Sheep put into Ereshstubbles are apt to be t i!'-
ed by eating too much grain.
A bare pasture enriches not the soil, nor fat
tens the animal, nor increases the wealth cattle
Ml@
One animal well fed is of more value than
two poorly kept.
The better animals can he fell,' and the
more comfortable they ran be kept, the more
profitable. they are—and all farmers work for
prifit.
Ground once well ploughed, is better than'
thrice poorly.
Bountiful crisps are more profitable than poor
ones. 3lake the soil rich, pulverize it well,
and keep it clean, and it generally will be. pro
ductiye.
IVietle that grow unmolested around the fen
ces, stumps and stones scatter their , seeds over
the (snit, and are likely to grow. . .
Cows we'l fed in tinter give more -milk in
summer. An oa that is in good condition in .
the spring. will perf •int more labor. and stand
the heat of summer much better than one that is
poor.
What ought to be done to-day, do it ; for to
morrow it may rain.
"A strong horse will work all day without
fond, but keep him at it, and he wall not last
long.
A rich soil will produce good- crops witho,ut
manure, but keep at it and-it will tire.
Farmer's sons had better learn to hold the
plow, and feed pigs, than measure tape and
count buttons.
Young ladies who have the good fortune to
become farmer's wives"will find it more profitable
to know how to make Johnny-cakes, butter, and
cheese. than to play on the. piano.
All who wish to be rich, must spendless Man

as to bear common conversation very readily.
it would be the height of presumEtion to warrant a

of the oil produces no pain, but on the contrary an agree
able and pleasant sensation. The recipe for. this medi

tion, who has found that deafness, in nineteen eases out
of twenty, was produced from a want of action in the
nerves of hearing, or a dryness in the ears; his object
therefore was to find something which would create a
healthy condition in those parts. After a long series of
experiments his efforts were at last crowned with suc

The starve Periodicals are reprinted in New Yolk,
immediately on their arrival by the British ateemera, in
&beautiful clear type, on fine white paper, and are
faithful copies of the originals,—Baacawoun'a MAO A...
SIDS being an - exact fanaimile of the Edinburg edi-
lion.
The wide-spread fame of these splendid Periodicals
renders it needless to say much in their praise. As
literary organs, they stand far in advance or any worl.s
of a similar stamp now published,. while the political
complexion of each is marked by a dignity, candor and
forbearance not often found in work* of a party char:-
icier. •
They embrace the views of the three great parties in
England—Whig, Tory, and Radical.—" Blackwood "
and the " London Quarterly" are Tory': the" Edin
burg Review," W hig : . iind i the . Westminister." Radi
cal. The .Foreign Quarterly "is purely literary, be
ing devoted principally to riticiattes on foreign Conti
nental Works.
The priers of the RIL•PRI TR are less than one-third
of those of the foreign copies, ud while they are equal
ly well got up; they afford all that advantage to the
dmen . can over the English reader.
