Hark i it is de bridegroom's voice; Welcome, pilgrini, to tby rest: Now within the gates rejoice, Safe and siittPd - ina bought and blest ! Safe from all the lures of vice, Seal'd—by signs the chosen know, ~ Bought—by love, and life the price! Bleats the mighty debt to owe. rg Holy pilgrim ! what ior thee In a world like thi remain? From thy guarded b t shall flee Fear and shame arid doubt and pain. Foar—the hope of heaven shall fly, Shamp—from glory's view retire, Doubt-4n certain rapture die, Pain—in endless blissbliss expire. f- " "Why," says Ossian, "should'st thou build thy hall, soft of the winged daYs? thou lookest from the towers to-day, yet a few years, and the blast of the desert comes—it howls in the empty court, and whistles a round thy half worn shield!" Then why should man look forth as he fondly hopes up on the sunny future with the eye of fancy, and lay up .the golden visions, which have passed like sunbeams in his pilgrimage, in the hope ofbrighter ones yet to come, when to-morrow the clods may be heaped on his coffin, and above his quiet rest the sepulchral views tremble in the wind I Alas ! if there is aug,la ll on earth which should subdue pride —which `iikauld make men feel that "the rich and the 'ppor meet together, and that the Lord is makof them all I"—it is the Grave! It is there &sea tment dies, revenge and ambition are satiatOct:it is there above the urn of sorrow, man muittearn that Happiness seems to,loave fixed her seat in rural scenes. The spacious hall, the light ed assembly, the splendid equipage, and the pomp of courts, appear is less than the sha dow of a shade when -eempnred with rural. romanticity, and milder beauties of soul pleasing nature: glittering misery does not sooth and entertain the mind of man in any degree, like the verdant plain, the enamelled mead, the romantic vale, the fragrant grove, thp melotliona feathery choir, the sportive beasts, the azure sky, and the star besprink led heavens. It is undoubtedly a fact, that in proportion to our population, too many leave the occu pation of the Agriculturist, for other em ployments. If this arise from its being con sidered that the employment of the husband man is not respectable, it is a very great mistake. Every thing is honorable which is useful and virtuous. This is an employ ment instituted by : God himself, and by him peculiarly owned and blest. It is that on which every thing depends. True it is la borious; but, then, labour brings health, and health is the fountain of employment and happiness—and it is health alone that can render life desirable. The condition of the firmer is thecondition ofindependence— little dominion is his own, his comforts are his Own, and he is not at the mercy of the public whim or cap rice . It is not necesarily the case, in this happy country-espeeial4 , -,that the -farmer must- be- a-stupid,- ignorant - man: He is taught in his youth the first rudiments of education, and he has many spare hours to read. - In the heat of summer's noon, and by the long winter's evening fire, he has much time for his newspapers and his books, and in this country they are placed within the reach of all. The farmer, by his prox imity to God as He is displayed in the works of His creation, is led to "look through na ture up to nature's God;" and his nearness to the sourceless and endless Author • of all created things accounts for the unusual ex tension of religious feeling among t who "venerate the plough." Mr: Wm. Bradford, of Vermont, has a horse which he hatdriven in a loaded we in from Montpelilr to Boston and back, one hundred timend in sis years and might months; the distanpe being 170 miles, the horse has travelled in that time 34,000 miles.

Riley and Scott, °Nile city of New York, own a large body of land in the upper -end of this county, and extending into the south west corner of Mer• cer county. A great accession of settlers has taken place lately on those lands. We are authorised from an authentic source to say, that between one and two hundred families of new eetderf will be on the next_ spring, principally frOm Massachusetts and New Jersey. The tide of emigration is nearly equally rapid to other parts of the country. Almost every day we hear ofnew settlers. This is as it should be. We have long been satisfied that if the resources Hof Western Pennsylvania were fully developed, they hold out to emigrants much stronger inducements than those of Illinois, &c. most viard. We sincerely wish our new and en. terprizing settlers health and prosperity. Venango Democrat.

An other, owned by Mr. Circle, on James river, was tried at Fincastle, on Monday, on a charge of insurrection; and, as the court was not unanimous, was sentenced to be whipped.
