Aye, when Love's chain was yielding, To Anarchy's control, He knit again the broken links, With purely patriot soul ! Can such a man be fallen No! great, serenely great, Ashland's peaceful shade, As in the car of State. • .4 HE is not fallen, Patrons, True Greatness never falls; Rome's noblest son was ostracised And banished from her walls. But he was great in exile, And, in her humble pride, Iris country, in her hour of need, Recalled him to her side. $o those who madly from us Our truest friend have cast, May drain the cup of vain regret Before four years are past.

EPITOME OF VAR A fair exhibition of war in iisori!'rin, its progress and .actual results, Would be a startling condemnation of the whole Cus tom as a piece of suicidal folly and madness. The li'ttriel: Shepherd,- in his Lay. Ser mons, tells the following story quite to the point: • . "The history of every war is . very like a scene I Once saw in Nithsdale (Scotland.) Two boys from dillerent l schOols met one fine day Upon the ice. They eyed each other awhile_in silence, with•rathcr jealous and indignant looks, and with dcflanco oii each brow. "What are ye gloivrin' at, Billy?" • "What's thitt to you, Donald ? look whar I've a mind, an' hinder me if ye data•." "To this a hearty blow was the return and then began such a battle !: being Saturday, all the boys of both schools were on the ice, bud the light instantly became general. % At first they fought at a distance with missile weapons, such as stonos and snow-balls ;. but at length coming hand to hand, they coped in a rage, and many bloody raps were liberally given and received. "I went up to try - if I could pacify them; far by this time a number of little girls had joined the affray, and I was afraid they would be killed. So addressing one party. I asked, "What are you lighting those boys for? What have they done to you ?" "0, naething at a', main; we just want to gie them a guile thrashin'—that's "My remonstrance was vain; at it they went afresh ; and after fighting till they were quite exhausted, one of the principal heroes stepped forth between the combat ants, himself covered with blood, and his clothes all torn to trters, and addressed the opposing party thus :—"Weel; I'll tell you what we'll do ye—ff . /it'll let 'us a-1 litne, we'll let you alane." There was no more of it); the war "was an end, and the ' boys scampered a*ay to their play. "That scene was a lesson of wisdom to me. I thought at the time, and have often thought since, that this trivial affray 'was the best epitome of war in general, that I had ever seen. Kings and ministers of State are just a set of grown-up children, exactly like the children I speak of, with only this ',material difference, that instead of figlyting s out for themselves the needless quarr&t..llby have raised, they sitin safety and look on, hound out their innocent but servile subjects to battle, and then, after an immense waste of blood and treasure. are glad to make the boy's condition—"if let us alane, we'll let you alane.'" • Here is the upshot of nearly every war, the status quo ante bethink Boston, Nov. 1845.

For my own part, 1 ant a man of moderate opinions, and would al low that a man Ai' as fun without being just ,ko far gone as any of these. But, with your leave, gentlemen, I'll tell you a story, about the Laird of Bonniemoon, that will be a good iliustra t ion of what I call being fon. “The Laird of Bonniemoon was gae, fond of his bottle—in short, just a poor drunken body, as I said before. On one occasion he was a4ed .to ditte with Lord R—,.a neighbor of his, and his Lordship, being well acquainted_ with the Laird's dislike to small drinks, ordered a bottle, of cherry brandy to be set before him after dinner, instead of port, 'which he alwayS drank in preference to Claret, when nothing better Was to be got. The Laird" thought this tine heartsome,stuffi-and-tin - he iveilt tilling his glass like the rest!, and telling his cracks, !and ever the more he drank the more Ile praised his- Lordship's Port. "It was a fine , (9ll-bodied wine, and Jay well on the stomach, not like that poisonous stuff claret that made a body feel as_ if he had swallowed a nest of puddocks."— Well, gentlemen, the Laird had finished one bottle of cherry brandy, or, as his Lord ship called it, "his particular Port," and had justtossed 'off a glass of. the - second bottle, which lie declared to be even better than the first, when his old confidential ser vant, Watty, came staving into the room, and making his best how, announced that the Laird's horse was at the door. "Get out of that yeifause loon," cried the Laird, I pulling off his wig and flinging it at Watty's head. "Do na ye see, ye blethering brute, that I'm just beginning mrsecond bottle ?" "But. Maister," says Watty, scratching his head, "its amaist twill o'clock."— "Weel, what though it be ?" said the Laird, turning up his glass with drunken gravity, while the rest of the company were like to split their sides with laughing at him and Watty. "It canna be ony later, my man, so just reach me my' Wig and let the naig hide a wee." Well, gentlemen, it . was a ! cold frosty night, and Watty soon - tired of kicking his heels at the door ; so, in a lit tle while, back be conies, and says he, "Maister, maister,its amaist one O'clock !" "Wed, Watty," says the Laird with a-hic ' cup—for he was far gone by this time— "it will never be oily earlier,,Watty, my man, and thaVs a comfort, so you may just rest yoursel' a wee while larger till I finish my bottle. A full belly makes a stiff hack, you know Wally." IVatty was by this time dancing mat; so, after wait ing another half hour, back he conies in an awful hurry, and says he, "Laird, Laird, as true as death the sun's rising." "Weel, Watty," says the . Laird, looking awful wise, and trying with both hands to fill his glass, "let him rise, my man, let him rise, lie has further to gang the day than wither you or me, Watty." "This answer fairly dumfounded poor Watts-, and he gave it up in dispair. But at last the bottle was finished ; the Laird was lifted into the saddle, and off he rode in high glee, thinking all the time the moon was the sun, and that he had fine day light for his journey. "Heech, Watty, my man," says the Laird, patting his stom ach and speaking, awful thick, "we - were mine the worse for that second bottle this L frosty morning." "Faith," says Watty, blowing his lingers and looking as blue as a billberry, "your honor is may be Mine the worse for it, but I'm nane the better; I wish I was." Well, on they rode fort can. nily, the Laird gripping hard at the horse's mane and rolling about like a sack of meal ; for the cold air was beginning to make the spirits tell on him. At last they came to a bit of brook that crossed the road; and the Laird's horse, being pretty well used, to haying his own way, stopped short and put flown his head to take a drink. This had die effect to make the poor Laird loose his balance, and away he went over the horse's head into the very middle of the , brook. The Laird, honest man, had just sense enough to hear the splash and to know that something was wrong; but he was that drunk that he did not in the least! suspect it was himself. "Watty," says he, sitting up in the middle of the stream and stammering out the words with great diffi culty, "Watty, my man, there is surely something tumbled into the brook, Watty. I "Faith, you may well say that," replied Watts-, like to roll off his horse with laugh-I ing, "for it'd - just yourself, Laird !" "lout fie, no Watty," cried the Laird with a hic cup between. e.v i cry wor4 "it Surelyearum 1,6 -- rt* ---- WAy, or here P Now, Gentlemen, contymed the Doctor, here is a case in whiChl would allow a man' to be drunk, although he had neither lost his speech net the use of his.limbe.

AGRICULTURAL. THE ADVANTAGE OF EARLY. NEWS TO THE FARMERS That iiknowledge .is power" has never been more signally illustrated than during the commercial transactions 'of the present autumn. The constant changes in the market from lower to higher prices,; have rendered the very earliest nail - nation of the utmost value to the toiling producer., The farmer who neglects .to inform him.;, self of the daily change in the markets, has suffered from the superior sagacity of - the - S - 0 who have obtained earlier intelligence. , This_ must he, for knowledge has become the great fulcrum of commercial profit; The advantages of a newspaper are.net Ohly in informing its readers .ofthe pres ent condition of the market, but it is..also not less valuable - in afibrding such facts and circumstances of the present condition of the world, as may enable the farmer to calculate upon the .probable prospective changes in the jmarket. And thus he may reap the highest price to which the actual. demand Wr ill entitle him. It has often been remarked as a- matter of just 'regret that when prices - rise, the profincer rarely reaps the full advantage of that rise. The prof its too often go into second hands. Why is this.? Is it not becauSe the merchant and miller, by their constant and daily ac cess to the press; not only of their own but of other countries, keep themselves 'better informed, not only of the actual state of the market, but of the probable prospective de- Maud." Intelligence thus obtained at the cost of a few bUndred dollars, brings fre quently a return of a thousand dollars. We know . that it is not possible for the farmer to keep himself so well advised of changes as the merchant, yet by means of the newspapers he can keep himself pret ty well up with the run of the market, and thus reap that reward for his labor to which the demand may entitle him. We, now speak solely of the commercial value of the newspaper. As a fireside companion, it has become so deeply fixed in the tastes of every. American that it needs no praise. As evincing the increased importance of commercial news, it is. pleasant to observe that the country presses areAmying.infi nitely more attention to their reports of the City and home markets. They are re vised up to the latesthour of going to press, ' In this way, the local press can become of increased and increasing value to their subscribers, and thus become, as they should be, the organ, of the very latest commercial as well as political intelligence to the dis tricts in whtch they circulated., Improve ment and attention in this as in other pur suits, rarely failto command the liberality of an educated people.—✓llbany.irgua. STALL FEEDING It is the abuse Of stall-feeding that has got it into disrepute with some people; and the not treading down straw enough with others. This last I hold to be an ad vantage, instead of a disadvantage ; for de pend upon it, it is not the size of the.dung hill, but the quality of the manure' that cau ses thefariner's stack-yard to well filled. If managed •well, I contend that there is no I plan so good as stall-feeding. The fatten ing house may be of any size or shape, but it is necessary that there should be ,under ground drains, with gratings, , to carry off the urine into the liquid-manure tank . ; shutters behind the bullocks to regulate the heat, and a wide passage at their heads to feed them and clean their mangers. The advantage I conceive tobe the . quantity ,of litter required being smaller, therefore the muck being made better;' the .temperature ' being more easily regulated, and every, bul- : lock being allowed 'to eat his share in petiO.
