We nee, by the Npw York Journal, that the Historical Society tif that city have had a tnoet inp nd discussion relative to the funeral obse quies of General Jackson. The Society did it self the honor lo pass resolutions, appointing a Committee to co-operate with the Common Councils and cither public bodies in their ar rangements for suitable observances. But there were some spirits in that body who allowed their illibernlily and vindictivencas, by opening the incisure. One individual, named Fessenilen, even indulged in a gross nltnck upon the char acter ol the deceased patriot, and made some in decent allusion to his sins and his repentance. The hisses and other marks of disapprobation which interrupted his remarks, were a just and deserved rebuke. Mr. Charles Kino; also op posed the resolution. How different was the conduct ol a really prcat man that of Daniel Webster the following remarks will show: Mb. Wfbhtkr's Remarks. Nothing could he more natural or proper than that this S.icitty tdiould take a respectful notice of the disense of so dihtinouir-hed a member ol its body.

Andrew .lac I; eon lias been from an early period conspicuous in the service anil in the early councils of the country, though not without luiiy intervals, so far as respects his connection with the General Government. It is fifty years, I think, Fince he was a member of the Congress oft he U. States, and at the in s'ant, sir, 1 do not know whether there be li ving an associate ol General Jackson in the House of Representatives of the United States at tlmt day, with the exception of the dittiu guiished and venerable gentleman who is now Prenident of this Sciciety, I recollect only of I the Congress of it! this moment now liv hut one, (Mr. Gnlliitir.,) though I may he mis tnken. General Jackson, Mr. President, while he lived, and his memory anil character, now tlmt he bus deceased, are presonted to his coun try and the world in diflerent views and rela tion.. He was a soldier a general officer and acted no unimportant part in that capacity, lie was raised by repeated elections, to the high est station in the civil government of his coun try, and acted a pnrt certain')" not obscure nor unimportant in !hnt chnractpr ami capacity. In regard lo his military service, I participate in the cenernl sentiment of the whole country, and I believe of the world. That he was a soldier i of dauntless courage, ureal daring and perneve- ! ranee an eflicer of skill, and arrangement, and ! foresight, are truths universally admitted. 1ii. rs the period in which he administered the ' general government ol our country, it was my fortune, during 'he w hole period of it, to be a nn uiher of the Congress of the l Slates, nnd, as is well known it was my misfortune not to be able to concur with many of the inott important inehstircs of his administration. J'nlertaining himself his own views, and with a pow er of impressing his ow n views to a re- inorkable degree upon the convictions and ap- probations of others, ho pursued such a course as he tiiounht expedient in the circutns'.ances in which he was placed. Entertaining on tna- ny questions of great iuipoitaiice different opin- ions, it was of course my misfortune to differ from him, and that difl'-.ence gave me great pain, because, in the w holo course of my public life, it has been far more agreeable to me to sup- j port the measures of the government than to be called upon by my judgment and sense of whut w as bei-t to be done to oppose them. I desire to see the government acting with an un:ty ofspi- rit in all tilings relating to its foreign relations, cMlv ..d L.e..er.ll in M hI measure. 1 -j j - - 1 j of its domestic policy, us fur as is consistent H.j,, tJie t.x,.rci,o of perfect independence a- I ... . t . r . r . ' " ners. j..i .. .1 uB my uiicunuia- , i lo differ from General Jackson on many or most ( J L,f the great measures of his Bdmiui.tratioti, : fc occisinns, and tliwe not uoimpor- 1 taut, in which I felt it my duty, and according to the highest sense of that duty, to conform to his opinions, ami mippnrt his measures. There were junctures in his administration periods I which I thought important and critical- which the views that he felt it to he his duty to j adopt corresponded entirely with my sentiments in regard to the protection of the best interests of the country, and the institutions under which we live ; and it was my humble endeavor on these occasions to yield to his opinions and mea sures the same cordial support ai if I had never differed from him before, and expected never to differ from him again. That General Jackson wis a marked character that ha had a very remarkable influence over other men's opinions that he had great perseverance and resolu tion in civil as well as in military udministra tion, all admit Nor do I think the candid a mongbt mankind will ever doubt Ibat it was his desire mingled with whatsoever portion of a disposition to be himself instrumental in that ex altation to elevate his country to the highest prosperity and honor. There ia one sentiment, particularly to which I recur always with a feel ing of approbation and gratitude. From an ear ly period of his undertaking to administer the affairs of the government, he uttered o senti ment dear to me expressive of a truth of which I am most profoundly convinced a sentiment setting forth the necessity, the duty, and the pa triotism of maintaining the union of the St iles. (Applause.) Mr. President, 1 a.Ti old enough to recollect the deaths of all the Presidents ol the U. States, who have departed this life, from Washington down. There is no doubt that the death of an individual, who has been so much the fuvorito of his country, and partaken so largely of its re gard as to fill that high office, always produces has produced hitherto a strong impression upon the public mind. That is right. It is right that such be the impression upon the whole commu nity embracing those who particularly appro ved and those who did not particularly approve the political course of the deceased. All these dictinguiehed men have been the chosen ol their country. They have fulfilled their station and duties upon the whole, in the series that have pone before us, in a manner remitubleand dis-tingtiit-hrd. Under thtir administration, in the course of filty or sixty years, the government, generally speaking, has prospered. It becomes. j then, all to pay respect when men thus honored j are called to another world. Mr. President, we may well indulge the hope and the belief that it was the feelings of the distinguished per son who is the subject of these resolutions, in the solemn days and hours of closing life, that it was his wish that if he had committed few or more errors in the administration ol the covem rnent, their influence might cease with hi in ; and that whatever of good he had done, might be perpetuated. Let us cherish the same sen timent. Let us act upon the panic fjeling ; and whatever of true honor and glory he acquired, ' let us all hope that it w ill bo his inheritance forever ! And whatever of good example, or good principle, or good administration, he has established, let us hope that the benefit of it may also be perpetual. Mr. Webster then resumed his eat amid ge neral but subdued expressions of applause. The Itlolhrr ami lirr Family. Philosophy is rarely found. The must per fect sample I ever met, was an old woman who was apparently the poorest and the most forlorn of the human species, so true is the maxim which all profess to believe, and none act upon invariably, viz: that happiness does not depend on outward crcumstances. The wise woman, to whom I have alluded, walks to Boston, a distance ur twenty or thirty miles, to sell a bag of brown thread and stockings, and then pa- 1 tiently walks tmck with her little gain. Her : dress, though tidy, is a grotesque collection of j Shreds and patches' coarse in the extreme, j 'Why don't you come down in wagon !' ' said I, when I observed t-he was wearied with 1 her long journey.

He reels my : yam and mcruls the children's shoes. He's as ' kind a husb.md as a woman need to have, I 'But his being a cripple is a heavy misfortune lo you,' said I. ' v hy, ma am, I don t look upon it In that ' light,' replied the thread woman, '1 consider 1 that I've a great reason to be thankful thai lie 1 never took to any bad habits.' ! H -w many children have you 1' 'Six sons and five daughter-!, ma'ain.' 'Six sons and five dnitghters ! W hat a fami ly for a poor womnn tosiiptKirt !'

We passed pretty near a house which was a short time ago the scene of an incident which, in the hands of a skillful novelist, might be so pptin out as to make the orthodox three volumes. In that house there lived I am sure that he does not ttill live there an eccentric old rich proprietor. His own dress and manners were plain, and his modes of life homely ; but, in tending a handsome fortune for each of his fain- j ily two sons and a daughter it was his great ambition to give them a first rate education. The daughter, being the eldest, had returned from one of the first boarding schools, quite an accomplished lady. He doated on her, and ful ly made up his mind, she should either be mar ried to a man of rank and importance in the world, or not married at all. For the two sens, in order, as he said, that they might be educat ed under his own eye, that he might see that full justice was done them, ho employed a ta lented young man, whom the tdd eccentric L'entleman constantly lauded to the skies for his exceeding modesty of manner. Things went on for a season as sniooih'y as either par ty could wish, the tutor growing every hour in the good graces of his patron. He became, in fine, a confirmed favorite, ami was in every re spect "treated as one of the family " One day after dinner the modest tutor, (there being no one present but themselves,) said to the old gentleman, in hesitating accent.'', scarcely ven- turinr to raise his head as he spoke, that he wished to consult him confidentially for a few minutes on a very important and delicate mat. ter, and to get his advice as how he ought to act in the peculiar circumstances in which he was placed. 'Quite ready to hear you, sir ; and to give you lbs best advice in my power,' observed the other, who had always been remaikable for his blunt manner of speaking. 'I really do not know how to begin, I'm nl- most a fra id to mention the thing to you,' re marked the tutor, tying and untying a piece of twine on hia linger, on which he kept his eye thoughtfully fixed. 'Oh, don't be afraid, sir, out with it. It's no thing horrible, I hope !' 't)h, dear no.' Well, then let us hear it at once.' 'It's about an affair of the heart.' 'Ah! an nfiair of the heart! Ay, I see you young men know something about Ihcso mot tors. It's long since 1 hid an affair of the heart, though 1 have had plenty of other 'affairs,' lar more serious ; but young men must be young men ; yes they mu.-t. I nine, inkea glass ot wine, and teli us all about this atlair of the heart.' As he spoke, the eccentric old gentleman poured out a glass of unexceptionable port, ami handed to the tutor, which the latter deliberate ly drank oil'. 'Now sir, for this love story this afiair of the heart, you h ive fallen in Ijvc with some pretty girl, and wish to marry her, I suppose.' The tutor owned the soft impeachment Well, and why not marry her V ThaiV jiibt the point about which I wished to consult yon.' 'i she an amiable girl V 'The very perfection of every thing that is morally good and mentally excellent.' '&, so. And belongs to a respectable tatni- ly V 'A very respectable family. Indeed she moves in n better ephere of lite than myself, and her family are so respectable, that any gen tleman might and would be proud to bo con cerned with it.' 'Then why, you spalpeen, don't )oii marry her at once V said the old man, rai.-im; right leg and placing it on an adjiceut chair. lint I have not yet obtained the consent of her father,' replied the tutor, speaking iua seemingly subdued and timid tone, and lint hav ing courage enough lo look his patron in the fiee. 'Then why, sir, don't you obtain it !' 'I am afraid lo utk it.' 'Why afraid to ask it 1 Don't ben coward.' 'I'm afraid, because she assures me licit she knows that llVr father would never give his con currence to her marriage to one who is entirely without means, au lias nothing but his educa tion and good moral character to re.'oininetid him.' 'Does she speak confidently on the point V Oh, most confidently. She i. quite positive.' 'Quito sure eh !' 'Perfectly ceilain.' 'No chance of the father yielding V Not the fclightel.' Is he an eld man V He is advanced in years.' Then, sir, he must be uu dd fool, CVne, take another glass of wine.' The rccculric old gentleman here filled up the glass of his sous' perceplor, and the latter cmietly rjuaffed its contents. 'Do I know this stupid piece yfautiijuily !' 'Intimately.' And for some time V 'For many years.' 'Does he and his daughter reside in the neighborhood !' 'They do.' 'Is it a fair question to ask the old idiot's name !' I would rather not mention it in existing circumstances. Oh, very good, very good. I would not press you, not by any means I ay !' The lovcstrnck tutor was all attention. 'Listen to me, sir. Lend me your cars." 'I will with the greatest pleasure.' 'What lam going to say is worth hearing.' 'Pin anxious to hear it.' I'll tell you what you'll do. 'I shall be most grateful for your advice in so trying a situation as that in which I am placed.' 'Take another glass of port. Kecpttp your heart, sir.' The tutor took ano'.her claw, the example be ing Fot by his friend and counsellor. 'Is the young lady very much attached to you V I have nn reason to doubt the ardor of her affect ion.' 'Would she elope ; that is, run away with you I 'She is willing to do anything.' 'Then, sir, your course is clear. Carry her otl and get married at once.' I'm afraid of offending the old gentleman, her lather.' Oil ! the old gentleman, her father. Never mind him if yon can get the girl herself.' 'And would you really advise me to run a wny with her!' I would not like to take so important a step without your approval.' lVorr7 advise yon 1 1 Jn advise you, and let it be done directly, sir. Why, sir, you have nn pluck or spirit about yon, or you would have doiin it before now. Thunder and lightning ! old as I am. sir, 1 would do it myself. You do it at once.' 'I was anxious to consult you on so delicate a matter.' Well, sir, you know my opinion nnd have cot my advice. Don't be faint hearted, sir ; get up early and elope with the lady to morrow morning ; and take my horse and gig for the purpose. They are quite at your service, very niiirli at your service.' 'I am really under infinite obligations to you for the deep interest you have taken in the matter. I'll adopt your advice, and avail my self ol )'"iir kind offer of your horse and gig to enable me to carry her oil.' Do, tirdo ; and mind you do it effectually. Let there be no mistake, no failure in the mat ter. Success to you in your enterprise. Let me know when oi huve nude the young lady your wile.' I will with the greatest possi.ne pleasure. On ihe following morning, ihe old gentleman summoned his daughter, as was his custom, down to breakfast, ho stationing himself on the occasion at tho foot of the stair. No response was made to the first summons. 'What do you mean, you lazy, indolent huz zy, that you don't come when you are called V bawled out the old and eccentric personage, in the way of continuing his first call. Still there was no answer. 'You are sound asleep, I suppose. Why don't you get up and cume down directly ! Do you hear !' Still there was no response. 'I say, you indolent, goisTfor nothing piece of goods, why don't you' Please, sir,' interposed an out-door man ser vant who had just entered the hall ; 'please, sir, I saw M iss and the tutor driving away this iiiorninir, at o'clock, in ym.r gig. And more than tint, please your honor, they, (horse, gig and all,) seemed as it they were in a dreadful hurry. They were, indeed, sir.' The obi man audibly groaned, and sank down u:i the stairs. The truth flashed into his ritiinl. It was ln. o'.vn daughter who had eloped wiih the tutor, in obedience to his own adv ce tendered to thu latter so emphatically on the previous day.

The Genesee Farmer gives this brief eummi ryofthe native countries of our most famdhr plants : The potatoo is the native of South America, and is still found wild in Chili, Peru and Montu Video. In its native state, the root is small and bitter. The first mention of it by European writers is in IS". It is now spread over tlio world. Wheat and Rye originated in Tartary and Siberia, where they ate indigenous. The only country where the oata is found wild is i.i Abyssinia, and thence may be considered a na tive. Maize or Indian corn is a native of Mcx. ico, and was unknown in Europe until after tho discoveries of Columbus. The bread fruit tree is a native ol the South Sea island?, particular ly O'ahcite. Tea is found a native no whero except in China and Japan from which country the world is supplied. The cocoa nut is a native of the most erjuinoxial countries, and is ono of the most valnobla trees, as food, clothing and shelter are afforded by it. Coffee is a native of Arabia Felin, but is now spread into both the Fast and West Indies. The best coffee is brought fro n Mocha, in Arabia, where about fourteen millions of pounds are annually e.xpor ted. St. Domingo furnishes from sixty to se venty millions of putinds yearly. All the varic ties of tho apple are derived from the crab ap ple, which is found native in most parts of the world. The peach is derived from Fersia, where it still grows in a native state, small, bitter, and wiih pionous qualities. Tobacco is a nativa of Mexico and South America, and lately nne species has teen found in Nov Holland. To bacco was first introduced in,r Fngiand from North Carolina, in 1 V-0, by .Walter llalcigh. Asparagus was brought from A;ia; cabbage and lettuce from Holland ; horse radish front China ; rice from Ethiopia ; bean from the j Kant Indies; onions and garlics aro natives of various places both in Asia and Africa, The eu- gar cane isaintive of China, and from tiicnco is derived the art of making sugar from it, Smct it Wheat. One word respecting smut in wheat. When I was first acquainted with this country, being a boy, the wheat taiseJ here was all smutty, so much fo indeed, that it required to be washed before it was fit to use. The first year we sowed the wheat procured in the neighborhood, which was smutty, for seed, ihe crop was very smutty. The next sea-on some for seed was procured from a distance, clean, of smut t this wheat was washed clean, and while wet, as much good ashes was mixed with it as would stick to tho wheat, and sown immediately. The crop was clean of smut, and for more than twenty years in succession wo practiced the same way on the farm. We pro cured wheat clean of smut, washed and ashed the seed, nnd during tlio whole time never rai sed a crop ol smutty wliei.t. 1 have more tin ;i once sown beside niv neighbor V lot, m!!o i; lit fonoe dividing us, he sowed his wheat i!r anj a4 (,,vc stnteil, Irs w vorv smu'tv, mine quite clean.
