O Nature solemn and hushed and wild, Take back to thy bosom a faithless child ; Though"a weary spirit, a wasted frame, Upon tenderness are a fragile claim, The soul is firm and the' thought is free, And the heart is virgin I bring to thee ! Where the quail and the blackbird whistle loud, And the vale is dim with a leafy cloud ; Where the waters are breaking in dimpled floods, And the vines hang heavy with golden buds, Forgetting, forgot, I would linger fain, And never go back to the world again ! No peace to my soul can its idols lend Be thou my lover, my more than friend ; No song but the blue-bird's shall soothe my rest, turnips of England. As to rearing so many sheep, persuaded, by reading and by observation abroad, that there is one species of cultivation almost un known in the State of Massachussetts which is still very well suited for places where there is a great proportion of light land, I mean the root cul tivation that of turnips and beets. And from all flights of oratory upon agriculture, I come down to the simple beets and turnips, and to give you one word of recommendation upon that subject. JNow the time is coming when the light lands must yieldnhemselves to this culture. I argue it from analogy; I see that the cultivation of the tur nip crop is the very soul and substance of English husbandry. I see that England would fail to pay the interest of her national debt if turnips were excluded from her culture. It is just as certain as anything in the world, it would be impossible for the cultivation of England to go on without the culture of turnips. It is sev eral years since it was first introduced there. No body here has hardly yet attended to it. It is the j chief point in dispute seemed lo be lo whom KENNEDY'S LIFE OF WIRT. The Church mandamus Case in Bal timore in 127. The Life of William Wirt, by the Hon. John P. Kenned', is undoubtedly the most popular work which has been published for a long time. The extracts which have been made from it in the public papers, is evidence alike of the ability with which the author has performed his task, and of the general interest which be longs 10 the work The following extracts, giving an account of the great mandamus church case which created such sensation in Batimoro in 1827, will havo special attractions for every one : In may, 1827, Mr. Wirt was engaged in a trial in Baltimore, which attracted great atten tion, and in which he made one of his most popular and felicitous speeches. A breach had occurred between the members of a Pres byterian congregatiqn in that city, a schism upon some doctrinal question, which found a considerable body of adherents and advocates on either side. Mr. John M. Duncan was the pastor, a gentleman of distinguished elo quence, of a very high order of talents, a bold and earnest preacher, and of irreproacha ble life and conversation. He was, therefore, at ihjs period, as he is still, a greatly esteemed and admired minister, with many followers and friends. Without troubling the reader by an attempt to make him acquainted with the merits of the controversy, it is sufficient only to say that the green crop of turnips which has rendered England so rich in agriculture. What are the cattle and the sheep of England supported on 1 On corn or dry wheat? It is not extravagant to say that four fifths of the beef of England(the best in the world) is fattened upon the No lip but the zephyr's to mine be prest, -No arm but the moonlight's around me twine. In life and in death I am thine, all thine ! If the cloud should rise, and the dim rain fall, And the young flowers die, I can leave it all ; And when the woods with the snows are white, And the tempest cries on the hills all night, In thy rough arms' clasp I wilt still remain, Till borne where they never are cold again. And when the spring shall again be there, With her fcirlle of green and her yellow hair, Missing the child of evanished years, Her blue eyes haply may fill with tears, As her sweet hands sadly, silently spread A cover of violets over my head. ( I do not know the number perhaps sixty or seventy millions of fleeces per year,) without turnips, nobody thinks of doing such a thing. Now. I would say, that the light lands of this part of the country are as favorable for turnips as in England, with one exception. In England the turnip crop is usually consumed by the-animals in the field. It is not a country where there is a great severity of winter. The ground is not fro zen for any considerable part of the time to pre vent the sheep from being out in all weather. But) this is not the case in Scotland where the crop is equally profitable. There they draw it, as it is called they house it, and a very light cov ering will keep off the frost there and also here. This is the basis of their prodigious production of animal food and wool which those countries Fashionable Girls. w j . cornDared statistics-I have looked MrsSwisshelm, of the Pittsburg Sunday "H at the products of mv own small field, and I find tert one of the pleasaritest and most original wri- lhat j have now down therelhe poorest farmer belonged the church property, especially who w A a ' a was entitled to Ihe possession of the pulpit, after this unhappy division in doctrine It was popularly understood in the community where the parties lived and I speak upon no other auihority than this common opinion that the majority of the congregation, with their pastor at the head, were, in fact, the dis senters from the ancient doctrine which was now maintained by the minority. The church had been built and the property purchased by the contributions of the congregation, of which contributions the majority had supplied the greater part. The dispute was sufficiently irreconcilable to find its way into the courts discussed, by more brilliant flashes of the finest wit and humor, or adorned with a richer elo quence. The public conversation was full of it for weeks afterwards. The newspapers at tempted to preserve some of the happiest hits ; but, as in all such experiments, only half pre served them ; nocessarily giving them without the accompaniments of the context, the man ner, the gesture and the reciprocal sympathies between the orator and his audience, which could alone render them fully intelligible ; in the absence of which they appear flat. The writer of ibis Memoir heard the speech, felt its effect as others felt it, and saw, without surprise, being himself held in the same thral dom, what he would not have believed unseen, how marvellously the orator wrapt in delighted attention that large crowd, composed of both sexes, and many to whom the courts were al together unfamiliar, whilst he discussed, for the greater part of a day, a question abounding in technical law and occasions for the review of numerous judicial precedents. He concluded with a passage that was singu larly happy in its application to his client, and which, taking the court and auditory unawares, broke upon them with a mingled grave and comic effort ; grave from its connection with one of the grandest scenes in Macbeth, and comic from its unexpected and pointed appli cation to the gentleman who was there present, and upon whose shy and modest counlenanco it drew all eyes, provoking laughter at his ap parent discomfiture. Mr. Duncan, as 1 have said, was a great favorite, and the public in terest in the trial was, in large part, owing to the concern which was felt for him. The ad vocate, in drawing to a close, spoke of the severity and unkindness of this contention to displace a pastor so much respected by his flock and so useful in his vocation ; expatiated upon the stake which the cause of religion had in this proceeding, upon the necessity of avoid ing the scandal such divisions were likely to bring upon this cause ; upon the reflections to which tt would give rise, and the great duty of harmony among Christain brethren ; and, whilst all seemed to respond to the truth of what he said, he turned unexpectedly towards his client, who was silting near him, and with most graceful elocution, said : " Besides, this Duncan ters of the age, gives the following matter-of-fact information in one of her admirable 'letters to country girls:' 'There are hundreds of girls in every large city, who parade the steets in feathers, flowers, silks and laces, whose hands are soft and white as use lessness can make them, whose mothers keep and to be consigned to the guardianship of the lawyers.

And td tell you the truth, I was preity much of thd same opinion with regard to some of my good things in Baltimore. But the people were sd determined to be pleased that the most foolish thing I could say went off with tclat. Give me such an audience as that ! where a man can gather laurels without any expense of brains.

But how ihany are there who can talk successful folly and path ihe reputation of wisdom by it 1 That is a species of mental legerdemain which puts a man on a level with the far-famed Maelzel, the exhibitor of the Androides, compared wiih whom the Chief Justice himself is but an eve ry day sort of a man. There was a stenographer who took down the speech, bui I have laid my veto on the pub lication, and I trust it will be respected ; for I have long since learned to know that reading is a very different thing from hearing. If they will publish, I have this consolation that, how ever identical the speech may be, the people who heard it will swear, it is not the same They will bo obliged to do this in their own defence, or be considered blockheads them selves for being so taken in, " to approve such stuff!" But for all this, it was a tolerable good speech for a hoi day and would have passed very well even at Fluvanna court house; alias " The State." And now I think wo have had enough of the speech.

I once boarded in a 'genteel boarding house in Louisville. There were two young ladies and a. piano in the house; hall and parlors handsomely ftirnishnd. The eldest voung Iady,1ne belle, wore n snmmpr hnnnfit at ten dollars: a silk and blondJ concern that could not last more than two or three months; silk and satin dresses at two, or three and four dollars per yard, and five dollars a piece for making them, and the entire family, women, boys, and babies, nine in all, slept in one small room, with twp dirty bags of pine shavings, two straw ooisiers, ana ttiree dirty qutus ior ocuunig, no sHds. and there on the wall hung the p'eagreen and white satin, the rich silk and lawn dresses. These ladies did not work, but played the piano, accordion and cards; and nearly btoke their hearts ;tbe week befpre .we were there, because another, who 1 presume Jived just as theyid,calied on them with a great clumsy gold chain on her neck.

Now, gentlemen we see in the eastern parts of the Commonwealth, cattle not such as they should be, because we see pastures so dry, so rocky, so covered with bushes, that they would be able to defy all the breeds in creation. The great point to which improvement should tend is, to improve the means of sustaining animals to increase the quantity and improve the quality of the food Jor an imals,. I wish well to Agriculture, and yet 1 thinlr Ag riculture is dead and lifeless unless other pursuits are encouraged. 1 know that the agricultural pro ducer.is nothing unless there is; a consumer. I know therefore, that the interests of manufactures are and ought to be as dear to the farmer as his handsomest stock, his choicest implements, or his best soil, (applause;) even as, indeedj all these in terests. There cannot be good farms with ample remuneration where there is no successful ship- making or navigation. Observe I speak . of fann ing farming in our New England sense. I am not speaking of that which is called the planting interest, where the most -isf produced for export ation. J speak ot farming, naming is connected !'ith commerce with capital. That capital is usually slave3.. The success at that buisness de pends on the fall or rise of the commodity raised in a foreign market. It is different.. If we have a surplus, we send it to market if the price be high, and that makes our profit. But, if the, mar ket be low, yet we have enough in our own houses, without selling or buying food and drink, and are happy for the winter But we consider .that if we posed, in part, of the members of the congre gallon ; in great part, also, by ladies of the highest fashion and consideration in the city attracted thinner by; the general interest of the cause and by the fame of the counsel. Seats were especially provided for them. It was the first time that the court had ever been honored The cause was gained ; and Mr. Duncan is, to this day, in possession of the church, illus trating his ministry by a zeal and talent which have abated nothing of their original strength. A few days afier this trial, Mr. Wirt writes by such a fuir assembly. Ihe interest, there- . , . j i J 1 I txrho, f ho ronnaltnrv avnrastnn In mu loai ieuer : r r . i . l .1 - lore, oi me iriai wa9 greatly mcreasea. i ne weather was exceedingly hot, and the court room much worse than the weather out of doors. This was the condition of things on the last day, when Wirt was to close ihe case before the court. The previous stages of ihe trial had provoked less interest, and were, therefore, without this extraordinary attendance of spec tators.

Indeed, it is more than probable lhat many things which went off brilliantly in ihe delivery, from time, place and manner, will lose their effect on paper. There is another thing that makes me averse to the publication. The opponents of Mj. Duncan are moritfied at some little pleasantries which I hii off upon ihem in the course of my speech ; and if these trifles are made to assume a durable form, I fear they will never forgive me.
