The boy received no incentive to study, and consequently be was most of the time idle, an idleness which begat his disposition to while away his time in mischief. For this, he was whipped, and the more idle and careless he became. He knew that he was neglected by the teacher, simply because be was poor aud ragged, and with a sort of sullen indifference, shar pened at times by feelings of bitterness, he plodded on his dark, pathless way. Thus matters went on for several years, most of the scholars who were of Henry's age bad passed to tho higher branches of ! study, while the poor fellow still spelled I words of one and two svilab.es. and still I ki tenance, was now giving way to a shade uf unhappy thought aud feeliug,and it was evident that a turning point of life was at hand.

Gvnlhmcn of the Agricultural Suri'ly : It has always been grateful to my feel ings, tbat I am a Peunsylvanian, and es pecially that yon blue mountains which circle Buffaloe Valley were the bound of my infant world, and the horizon of my grown years. The very name Pennsyl vania suggests to the mind its origin, its j history, its polity, and its physical fea- ! tures. It sends a thrill to the heart to hear it; and, now that bcr energies are being aroused, as we become more and j more acquainted with her vast capabilities, as the inborn character of ber people is developing, as her quiet moral force is felt and recognized in the political world, aud v J ., , can not repress our rnde, and feci a , boundins hope of the future a hope ra- , .,, , e , . , - . . I diant with the glow of good things yet to H . I. r. At,: ; past as few as any nation of her age. I - c We mav not be able to point to a giant stride, like tbat Colossus of Rhodes, that straddles the shipping of the world, but her history tell of quiet, steady progress. It is hardly two ccniuries since the Qua ker Kmc made hi famed elm-tree treaty . .... which, for seventy years, kept bia infant proprietary unmolested, while tbe merci less Indian warfare desolated the neigh boring colonies : yet she is second in rank among her sisters she is called tbe Key stone of this glorious arch of our republic. No President has taken bis seat without her vote. Sho has wealth aod power. She can look back. too. on her past and say. "I got my domain by purchase and by treaty." Thoueh we can not say that the Quakers have been very active in the march of civ ilization, they, at least, gave the start to mental activity and soul liberty. It was their doctrine of Inner-liyJit, and their method of inquiry after truth, based upon "absolute freedom as applied to conscious ne," that stiired the spirit and roustd j thought in the common people; that freed the mind from the trammels of routine scholasticism; gaiccd for the soul entire liberty of coufcience, and etuaucipa- ted conscience itself from the iron shackles of superstition doctrine which is the basis of the capacity of self , government.

"You shall be governed i by laws of your own making, and live a free, and, if you will, a sober and indus- trious people." Thi was his pledge, and be kept it. Hither have they come from every land but especially, the Gorman, the Scotch, the Irish, and what is known in desceut by "Scotch-Irish," and it is on the stabil- ity, the beneficial, moral, and educational tendency of the Scotch, the sensibility, warm heart, and eloquent soul of the Irish tho industry, common sense, even temper and truthfulness of the German, that we depend our hopes of the future, as a peo- pie. The strong bias of the German has i always been iu favor of freedom.
