What Constitutes a Slate.
BY SIR WILLIAM JONES.
f
"What constitutes a state ?
Not high-raised battlements, or labored m6und;,
Thick wall, or moated gate;
Not cities proud, with towers and turrets crowned;
Not bays and broad-armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride;
Not starred and spangled courts,
Where low-bred baseness wafts perfume to pride:
, No: men, high-minded men, 5
With powers as far above -dull brutes endued
- In froest, brake or dew,
As beasts excel cold rocks or brambles 'rude;
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights, and knowing dare maintain,
Prevent the long-armed blow, ' . '
And crush the tyrant while they rend tlib chain:
These constitue a state.
And sovereign law, that state's collectedtwill,;
O'er thrones and globes elate, n '
Sits Empress, crowing good, repressihg'ill.:'
Smit by her sacred frown, ; ..(.
The fiend, Oppression, like a vapor sinks,
And 'e'n the alL dazzling crown
Hides its faint rays, and at her bidding shrinks." .

Agricultural Investigation.
Exercises of the mind, in reflecting upon the
course of nature, and the processes of cultivation,
are of vast benefit. When the various crops in
the field are made matters of study, they possess
a value and interest distinct from- the amount of
money they bring in. They become one's teach
ers ; they give him lessons to be treasured up and
used ; and it is those only who seek to learn and
benefit by these lessons, who really are intellgent
and exemplary farmers. A few, by dint of un
wearied toil, fiom year to year, end by a soul-pinching
parsimony, may get money : and this, too,
without observing any lessons, excepting a few
brief ones which were inculcated by others while
they were young. But those who stick to the
old way, through thick and thin, and for no other
reason than because it is the old way; are not good
farmers ; they arc little more than common la
borers, "who by dint of perseverance get some mon
ey, but little else worth having. We are not ri
diculing the old ways, but only saying they should
be compared with new ones. That the old are,
in many cases, the best, is undoubtedly true. It
is only by comparing them, that one can satisfy
himself fairly and properly, which path will lead
him most directly to the desired object.

New Wingless Bird.
At a recent meeting of the London Liimacaan
Society, Mr. "Westwood called the attention of the
society to a wingless bird on Lord Howe's Island
an island between New Holland and Norfolk
Island. This spot had been accidently visited
by Captain Poole, of the East India's Company's
service, who, considering it a favorable spot for
colonization, had induced six Irishmen and their
wives and families to settle on it. The place is
now one of constant resort for the supply of water
and provisions to the South Sea whalers. It is of
considerable extent, and, has on" it two high hills
which can be seen at a distance of sixteen leagues
at sea. On this island Captain Poole had discov
ered the bird in question. It is about the size of
a quail, and is considered by the settlers as good
eating. Mr. Westwood thought the announcement
of the existence of this bird which was not pre
yionsly known to exist in those regions would be
received with interest in connection With the dis
covery of the extinct wingless birds of New Ren
land. A Touching Narrative.
BY L. O. CLARK.
I have often wondered why it is that parents and
guardians do not more frequently and more cordi
ally reciprocate the confidence of children. How
hard it is to convince a criild tnat nis lamer or
mother can do wrong. Uur little people are al
ways our most sturdy defenders. They are loyal
to the maxim 'that the king can do no wrong;' and
nil tho mnnnrohs thev know are their parents. I
heard the other day from the lips of a distinguish-
ed physician, formerly of New York, but now liv-
ingin elegant retirement in a beautiful country
town of Long Island, a touching illustration of the
truth of these suggestions

This answer surprised me very much, and I en
deavored gently to impress him with the fact that
a more devout frame of mind would be becoming
in him, and with the great necessity of his being
nronared to die: .but he remained silent.
A few days afterwards, 1 asKed mm wneiner nu
would not permit me to send for the Rev. Dr, li
r a most kind man in sickness, who would
be of the utmost service to him in his present situ-
ation. He declined firmly and positively. Then
I determined to solve this mystery, and to under-
stand this strange phase of charaqter In a mere
child. '.My dear boy,' said I, implore, you not to;
act in this manner. -What-can so'-have disturbed
your young mind ? You certainly believe there &
a God, to whom you owe. a debt of gratitude V
'His eye kindled, and to my surprise, I might al
most say horror, I, heard from his young lips r
u 'No, I don't believe there is a God .!'
'Yes, that little boy, young as he was, waa'an-a-theist;
and he even reasoned in a logical manner for
a mere, child like him. , ' -v
" 'I cannot believe there is a God,' said, he ' for.
if there were a God, he must be merciful arid just,
and He never, never, never could have permitted'
my father who was innocent, to be hanged ! O,'
my father, my father V he exclaimed, passionately,
burying his face in the pillow, and sobbing as ifhis
heart would break.
'I was overcome by my own emotion. But all
that I could say would not change his determina
tion he would have no minister of God beside
him, no prayer by his bedside. I was unable, with,
all my endeavors, to apply a balm to his wounded
heart.
A few days after this, I called in the morning','
as usual, and at once saw very clearly hat the
little boy must soon depart.
" 'Willie,' said I, 'I have got good nows for you
to day. Do you think that you can bear to hear
it!' for I really was at a loss how to break to him
what I had to communicate.
'He assented, and listened with the deepest at
tention. I then informed him as I best could, that,
from circumstances which had recently come., to
light, it had been rendered certain that his father
was entirely innocent of the crime for which he"
had suffered an ignominious death.
I shall never forget the frenzy of emotion which
bp pxhihitnd nt. this announcement. He uttered
I one scream the blood rushed from his mouth he
leaned upon my bosom and died !"
A Few Hints.
Farmers should remember, that now is the time
to get out your stuff' for fencing, and for preparing.
it to put up as soon as the spring shall open. It is
bad policy to put it offfroin day to day. Do it now,
and if you have leisure time afterward, or when all
'your winter's work shall he done, if that ever is
the case why, we have no objection to a ' frolic'
in a legitimate way; taking good care, however,.
