The Hours of Prayerc

"Teach me to know and love the hour of prayer,
And evermore,
As faith grows rare,
Unlock the heart, and offer all its store
In holier love and humbler vows."
Christian fear.
When love woo pure and faith burnt bright,
All in the olden time,
Before Christ's Fruit had suffered blight,
Its radiance dimmed in Error's night,
Man loved the holy chine.
Bul now our hearts are cold, and earth
Attracts our zeal and care,
And those who love the hours of mirth,
And care not for the Soul's raw birth,
Now shun the lloiirs of Prayer.
to a g es past the sacred hell
Awoke the early morn,
And ancient Christian Fathers tell
The Old Saints met in quiet dell
To worship oe'r the dawn.
. .
In ages past they knelt before
, . The business hour arrived,
And thus their hearts were cheered to soar
Beyond the vain world's garish store,
And thus new strength derived.
At noontide too, in olden days,
They met to pray again,
And many a hymn of holy praise,
Upborne by youth and hoary age,
Awoke earth's silence then.
,
Again they knelt, When neer hie goal
Drew "th' unwearied" sun,
And longed that th 4.10 might shine each soil
Fresh from dark sin end,ain's control,
Ere life's brief race was tun:
Once more they bowed the lowly head,
And bent the willing knee,
When evening's sacred light Wag shed,
When day and all day's cares were fled,
And mildly glowed the sea.
The darkness heard their humble sigh,
'Twas Light, for God was there,
And strains of pensive melody
Blent with the sinner's sorrowing cry—
Thus passed the Hours of Prayer.
And 0, that we a tew short hours
To God's own work would spare,
Frowning on earth's scant fading flowers
And hiding in those smiling bowers—
The blessed Hours of Prayer.
And would that we could glance aside,
Nor mark rude pleasure's glare,
What joys would cheer the spirit tired!
What heavenly raptures gently glide
On the winged Hours of Hraye,

The rites of hospitality were inviolable among
the Celts, who, lest they might discover an enemy
in their guests, did not ask their names or business
until a protracted sojourn. The following affecting
anecdote is related in a number of "The Clans,"
lately published: "A young man from Cowal,
travelling through the McGregor's country, went
into a tigh esda, or inn, to pass the night. A com
pany of others had met there, and in the course of
the 'evening, a quarrel having arisen, dirks were
drawn, and Lomond (the stranger) unfortunately
killed his Opponent, who was no other than the son
McGregor of Glenstrae, who was then head of the
clan. The young man fled with the speed of a
'deer, and reached a house, at the door of which
stood its proprietor, looking out as the practice was
before retiring to rest, for Passing strangers; and to
hitn Lomond exclaimed, "I have slain a man ;
save me from the death which now pursues me!"
" Whoever you are," said the old chief, "enter my
house and you aro safe." In a few minutes the
',Menem were at the door, impatiently inquiring
whether the fugitive had been seen, " for" said they
" he has elan) your eon, and we burn for revenge!"
Alae,Alas my beloved child," cried Glenstrae,
bursting into a hood of bitter tears, t' the stranger
has besought my protection and received it—my
promise cannot be forfeited, even for this dreadful
deed : as I live he shell here be safe."—The gen
erous but sorrowing McGregor, true to his word
not only shielded him from the vengeance of his
clansmen, but conveyed him under a strong guard
to his native place, and on parting clasped his hand
and thus addressed hiM: "Lomond, you are now
in safety t but take care that you meet not hereof:
her with my followers, fOr I can no longer protect
youfarowell SoMe time after this, when the
McGregois were , : , irdted with the dire and ielentlest;
Persecution by which they were BO long Aided,
Old Mesita!: of Glenstrae, obliged to conceal him
self frani lila enemies, was received with becoming
hospitality, and treated with the utmost resPeet end
hindtieel by tfiie Lomond, who blessed God for af
fording him the opportunity of so far repaying the
deep debt of gratitude which he owed to his now
nnfortimate friend.
Cuswiso Torl.cco.—An editor says
posing a tobacco chewer is addicted to the habit of
chewing tobacco fifty years of hie life, each day of
the time he consume. two inches of solid plUd,
which amounts to six thousand four hundred and
eevonty-five feet, making nearly one mile and a
quarter in length of solid tobacco, half an inch
thick, and two inches broad."
He wants to know what a young beginner would
think, if be hed the whole amount stretched nut
before him, and were told, that to chew it up would
be one of the exercises of his life, and also that it
would tax his income to the amount of two thou

Steads, bedecked with a single cotton blanket and
solitary wool mattress. Mattress, indeed, I am
wrong to call it; it is a sack, containing a due num

for the purpose; and on which—if you can sleep on
a bag of potatoes—you may get a 3 much of a

Lilliputians could succeed in chaibing great Gulli.
ver on his back; thotigh, indeed, the united efforts
of my voltigeurs had a very opposite, but an equal
ly powerful effect upon me, their reiterated and
persevering attacks, first on one spot, then on an
other, exciting mo to the performance of a succes
sion of gymnastic exercises, such as I never went
through befOre, and hope never to execute again.
The fare was wrbtched; vegetables swimming in
oil, animal messes redolent of garlic, and very
tough fowls, composed the daily dinner. The oil,
in this land of olives, was invariably rancid, and
the reason alleged is characteristic of the people.
There are not presses enough, the olives lie togeth

The first impression of Madrid is that of poor
ness and dirt in its suburbs, and considerable splen
dor in its finest Parts, marred, however, by the cus
tom of guarding all the leaver windows with thick
iron bare, like a prison.
The inhabitants of this city convey to me the
notion of a people having nothing to do; such my-
Tiede of 011 kinds and classes (except the more fash
ionable dames who rarely at any season go out till
late) lounging incessantly backward and forwards,
not Walf,ing as if they had somewhere to walk to;
not man with earnest faces, hUrrying to business,
but figurer; moving slow and stately, as if intent on
nothing . litit enjoying the oun. The only palpable
exception.. are the poor blind and pamphlet criers,
bawling 'a dos euortus• everywhere in your ear;
and the military with their brass bands, playing
admirable, and indeed really pretty music, hut un
fortunately often with instruments out of trine.'
An liinguent Effusion.
The following thrilling ind soul-inspiring effu
sion of liberty and glory, is said to have been de
livered by the commandant of a barefoot company
in the Hoosier State, shortly after receiving the
false report that Mexico had declared war against
the United States. The report may not be exactly
verbatim, though it is evident the spirit is there:
"Men of blood and friend. of Washington and
that old hose General Jackson! I want your at
tention. Lightnin' has bust upol he, and Jupiter
has poured the ile of his wrath down the greasy
shanks of the Mezicans.—Thunder has broke loose
and slipped its cable, and the mighty valley, of the
Mossassip reverbet ate. the thousand-tongued hiss
ing of Santa Anna and the smaller ignorant folios
that revolves around that benighted and wooden
legged pop-gun of the Montezuma..
Citizens and sires on the bloody ground on
which our fathers catawampously poured out their
claret, free as ile, to enrich the soil over which we
now hover, and watch wills hyena eyes: let the cat
amount of the inner varmint loose, and prepare the
cheesy-cat of vengeance, for the long looked for day
has arriv! The crocodile of the Massassip has
gone into his hole, and the sun that lit King David
and his host across the Atlantic Ocean looks down
upon the scene and drops a tear to its memory.—
Hesse., lam with you! And while the stare of
Uncle Sam and the stripes of his country triumph
antly wave in the breeze—whar—whar is the craven
low-lived, chicken-hred, toad-hoppin', red-mouthed
mother's son of ye who will not raise the helicon
light of triumph—smoure the citidel of the aggrea 7
tor, and press onward to liberty and glory! Wheop!
Whar's the innemy.
A NEW* Ulm roe T. cor.
tespondent of the New Tor!, News suggests a val.
uable pUrPose which may be attained by the Mag.
neiic Telegraph, thus :
There is one use to which the magnetic,Tele
graph may be put on our Atlantic coast, that I have
no where seen mentioned—it is in telling us of the
ipproach of north east storms. It is well known
that they commence hi Philadelphia ofteri some
hours sooner than here ; and farther south—at Bal
timore,
Washington, or Norfolk—still earlier; and
here before they continence in Boston. Now, word
could be bent ahead of any hurricane or storm, from
station to station, and thus prevent the loss of many
a richly laden vessel. for, instead of leaving port
only to beat against the wind, or get ortii les-shore,
they could remain securely moored at the wharf
until the storm is over. Rot only may the mer
chant and Mariner be benefitted, but all classes, es
pecially the farmer, who might be notified of the
approach of a north-east storm, over a considerable
extent of country. And thus, in harvest time, save
thousands of doll'ars' worth of hay and grain.—
Why, I am not sure but that we shall see the time
when we shall look at the newspapers for the latest
magnetic intelligence, so as to know whether to take
our umbrellas along with us or not."
The songs of a nation are like wild flowers pres
sed, as it were by chance, between the blood stain
ed pages of history.
Progress of Agrlgniture.
Mr. Z. Pratt, formerly member of Csngreee and
who distinguished himself whilst in that body by
valuable labors connected with the statistics of the
country, has, we perceive, been rendering his val
uable aid to the promotion of the science of agri
culture in the interior of N. York. At a late
meeting of the , Greeno County Agricultural Awn
elation,' Mr. Pratt debarred an address, practical,
eloquent, and full of encouragement to the friends
of the agricultural prosperity of this country. In
the course of his remarks ho thus alluded to the
services of that noble animal, the home, to the im
provement of the breed of which so much attention
has lately been directed with such signet enema:
"The horse best fitted to traaei in the run end
sands of the South, is the descendant of the small
Bard-boned, light-footed Arabian, its high
courage and silken coat; while grain-growing Penn
sylvania and Ohio, with their cumbrous %vegans,
prefer to use a heavy corn-fed breed, that will throw
a greater weight upon the collar. The North,
again, is better served by a more compact and ac
live race of middle size, endowed with much more
strength in proportion to their weight, and greater;
powers of endurance: who bravely champ the bit
and nobly strain to the load with lion-like vigor
rejoicing at toil, and answering to the • driver's
voice with proud step and martial air, as if it wee
the trumpet calling them to bottle. Thus the
wants and peculiarities—the soil, climate, and uses
of each district--require and produce that peculiar
breed which is best suited to itself. What better
stock do we need than such an can bo bred from
the beet of those we already have. The team. of
Z. Pratt & Co., composed of a single span, (na
tives of our own
,region,) are in the habit of draw
ing from Catskill over the mountain to Prattevitle,
and back, loads of hides end leather of from thirty
to fifty, and even sixty hitittlred weight each, wa
gon or sleigh not included, the distance being thir
ty seven miles, and requiring three Jaye to go and
come. The quantity thus transported within the
year is nearly two and a half millions of pounds;
end the expenses the last season, including all risks
and charges, was only thirteen cents a hundred.
During twenty years of this service, which I make
hold to assert has not been equalled by horees of
any other district or county on the globe, not a
horse has been injured in the hands of a careful
drivar."
We feel especial satisfaction in giving the widest
possible circulation to the eminently sensible end
patriotic remarks of Mr. Pratt relative to the use.
fulness and honorable character of the , farmer's
life'
"Any honest pursuit will be esteemed.by a young
man of independent spirit and honorable ambition,
in preference to being seen lounging in the ante
chambers of public departments, and the lobbies of
the Capitol, a suppliant for the precarious emolu
ments of office. Let it ever be deemed a high hon
or by those who are qualified to bo called on to
serve the people: but when you see your son, made
in the image of his Clod, inclined to quit the han
dles of his plough, or throw down his hammer and
soil his birthright for a mess of pottage, put into his
hands the homely fable of the dog and the wolf,
Cilch inculcates the love of independence as a
boon above all price. ft is the indePendent spirit
of our people that ranks them above all other na
tions of the earth; because each man has in him
self the ability and resolution to accomplish hie ends
of and by himself; it is on this account that an
American may be cast penniless and alone in any
corner of the earth, and amongst any people; and
instead of wasting his life out a poor and despised
stranger, he will summon his energies and bear
himself like a conqueror. Whatever the natives
are doing, he does it better than they; he makes the
most money, exerts the moat iniluence, and soon
becomes a leader and a prince among them; from
soloing a shoe to heading an army, he shows him
tielf in all hineii capable, in all things superior; and
having accumulated sufficient fortune for himself
and honor for his country abroad, he return. to lay
at her feet the spoils of other lands, and enjoy in
his native home the society of equals. What does
such a man Want of official patronage or Protection?
He scorns to eat the bread he has not earned, or to
enjoy honors he has not deservej."

,LAUGLITEn.--A witty writer saps, in praise of
laughter—laughter has even dissipated diocese
and preserved life by a sudden effort of nature.
We are told that the great Erasmus laughed so
heartily at the entire by Rouchlier and Van Hut
ton, that he broke an trnpostliume, end recovered
his health.'—ln a singular treatise on 'Laughter,'
Joubert gives two similar instances. A patient be
ing very low, the physician. who had ordered a
dose of rhubarb, countermanded the medicine,
which was left on the tattle. A monkey in thy
room, jumping uP, discovered the goblet, and hav
ing tasted, made a terrible grimace. Again put
ting only his tongue to it, Ire perceived some aweet
newt of the dissolved manna, while the rhubarb had
sunk to the bottom. Thus emboldened, ho swal
lowed the whole, but found it such a native°ue
potion, that, after many strange and fantastic
griMaces, he grined his teeth in agony, and in a
violent fury threw the goblet on the floor.—The
whole affair woe so ludicrous that the sick man
burst into repeated peals of laughter, any the re.
covery of cheerfulness led to health.'

tinged the eastern sky; and while the busy cit . : ,
and its crowded harbor still remained in scar, les
sened shade, a ray alight shot over them nal gli
ded up the summit of the lofty mountain of Pvti...
grino on the west. Quickly it spread lower, adown
its wooded sides,—and soon it tipped with radience
the battlements of the Torie , di Idaych,.tho broad
keep of the Royal palace of Afeagar and the lofty
tower of the old cathedral, beside the dusky harbor.
Soon the topmost masts of the largest galleys in
the port caught the slanting sunbeams; end flag af
ter flag, and banner after banner, of the Many ',ea
sels that traded with this emporium of Europe, or
lingered amid its pleasures on their way to or from
the Holy Land, fluttered gaily in the morning sun.
For awhile their heavy hulls and storied Inicaetles
threw broad and prdlonged phadows upon the dark
brown waves beside them; hut in another quarter
of an hour, these had shrunk back to the western
side of the several secrets; a sun ray glanced along
the dancing wavelets; and the whole 'Cahill and
splendid hay of Palermo broke into azure spongier:
and flashed back a smiling welcome to the glorious
giver of its beauty.—Dolman's Magazine:
RISIIPF.CT von Viwrge.—Some time since. says
a foreign correspondent of the lieston A tlas, a ras
cal stole a silver inkstaiul from the poet Montgom
ery. A few days after a box came directed to him.
and opening it, lo! there was, uninjured, the mis
sing inkstand, and a note, in which the writer ex
pressed his regret that he had entered lb. house
and stolen the property. The thief said his !tmber
had taught him some of ifo , rtgomery s verses when
a boy, and on seeing that name no the inkstand, he
first became aware whose house he had robbed, and
wet en siting' tvith •entorse, that he could not rest
until he had restored the property, hoping thiis tc
obtairi ihe forgiven.. of God.
Ward. Pe•r.--Prentice of the Louisville Journal
is "hard to heat" in any department of the "writing
line," but as a pinligraphist he is unapproachable.
He thus hits off the exhortitione which the Execu
tive mouth piece occasionally rends forth to impor
tunate office seekers :
The Editor of the Government Journal very pa-
thetically begs the office seekers to consider that
the number . of offices is very limited. He thinks
that they will not find fault with the administration
if they will only consider."—His feeling exhor
tation is exactly like that of the piper to his cow—
tt Them was a piper had a cow and had no hay
to give her, . .
And he sat him down and played a tune, con
eider, cow, consider."
Coleridge used to relate the following anecdote
of his father. The old gentlemen had to take
short journey on some professio , al business. which
would detain him from home three or four days.—
Hie good wife in her care and watchfulness. had
packed a few things in a email trunk, and gavo
them in charge to her husband. with strong injunc
tions that he was to put on a clean shirt every day .
On his eeturn home, his wife went to search for
his linen, when to her dismay, it was not in the
trunk. A closer search, however, discovered that
the vicar had strictly obeyed her injunctions, and
had put on daily a clean ehirt, but had forgotten to
remove the one underneath.
Perfect happiness upon earth is as much a fable
ac unbroken sunshine, and would be as wearisome
and destructive.
We rather often believe and speak evil of others,
than good, but they that are truly virtuous do not
entity credit evil that is told of their neighbor.; fur
it other. do emits, then may these also epeak atu,s.
Man is frail, and prone to evil, and therefore may
soon fkil in words.

made of it, as well as bonnets and gaper.
