TOE ®BR©ILE, “ Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found 1” “ THY WILL BE DONE.” Thy will be done! To us who walk below In the dim shadow of this vale of tears, Where joy a moment smiles, then disappears, Is it not well, oh, Lord of Life, to know, Even when thou smilcst, Mercy gives the blow! Thy will be done ! We but obscurely scan The mighty mazes of thy wondrous plan— And what Thou dost in love we make our wo. Teach us to profit by each pain, oh Gud! Heavenward, by faith, to raise our souls to Thee— With deep humility to kiss the rod— • To trust the motive we cannot see— Until, when every earthly doubt be gone, Our hearts, in truth, may say, “ Thy will be done! * A-utumn. —Autumn ! tlusu art with us.— Already we feel the prickles in the morning air; and the stars shine out with a peculiar lustre. Shortly we see the rich tints which thou flingest on the woodlands, and then thy russet livery. And if thou art now bright, and gay, and beautiful, thou art not less love ly when thy hazy atmosphere spreads a vo luptuous softness over nature; when the sun himself is shorn of his beams, and, like a pale planet, wanders through the sky. Au tumn ! with its fields of ripening corn, and its trees laden with fruit, and its vines with the clustering grapes, “ Reeling to earth, purple and gushing and clear, sparkling streams, and trout-fish ing, and field sports is here. Out in the au tumn woods ! The broad leaf of the syca more hath fallen upon the streamlet,and hath passed on with its tumbling waters, or dis ports them where it has rested against some obstruction. The buckeye is bare; the ma ple is golden-leaved, save where is spread on a field of orange, the hectic flush which marks approaching decay, or where the sap is yet faintly coursing and a delicate greon remains. The oak is of a deep crimson, and the gum even yet of a bloodier hue. Far off on the tall cliff is the spiral pine and ce dar, in their eternal green. Out in the au tumn woods ! when leaves are falling like the flakes in the snow-storm. It is a time for reflection; it is a time for lofty contem plation. The soul is full, if it have the ca pacity to feel, and it gushes forth, though the tongue speak not. And yet it is irresistible to roam the autumn woods, and listen to the thousand whispering tongues which fill the air. The fulness of feeling must be reliev ed by the merry shout and loud halloo. We welcome thee, Autumn ! Thou art the dear est to us of the seasons—save the flower month. We hail iliy coming now, not as has been our wont. Since thou were last here, we have lost friends ; and in thy wail ing winds, and out beneath thy sky, and roaming through thy varied gorgeous liveri ed wood, our thoughts shall be turned to their memories. Death of Washington. The following vivid and touching sketch of the last mo ments of the Father of his Country is from a letter recently published: “ Passing through the great hall, ornament ed with pictures of English hunting scenes, we ascended the oaken stair case, with its carved and antique balustrade. We stood at the door—we pressed the handle—the room and the bed where he died were be fore us. Nothing in the lofty drama of his existence surpassed the grandeur of that fi nal scene. The cold which he had taken from exposure, in overseeing some part of his grounds, and which resisted the earlier domestic remedies that were applied, ad vanced in two short days into that frightful form of the disease of the throat, Laryngitis. It became necessary for him to take to his bed. His valued friend, Dr. Craik, was in stantly summoned, and assisted by the best medical skill in the surrounding country, ex hausted all the means of his art, but without affording him relief. lie patiently submit ted, though in great distress, to the various remedies proposed, but it became evident from the deep gloom sitting upon the coun tenances of the medical gentlemen, that the case was hopeless. Advancing insidiously the disease had fastened itself with deadly certainty. Looking with perfect calmness on the sobbing group around him, he said —“Grieve not, my friends—9t is as I anti cipated from the first—the debt which we all owe is now about to be paid—l am re signed to the event.” Requesting Mrs. Washington to bring two wills from his escritoire, he directed one to be burnt, and placed the other in her hands, as his last will and testament, and then gave some instructions to Mr. Lear, his secretary and relation, as to the adjust ment of his business affairs. He soon after became greatly distressed, and as, in the paroxysms which became more frequent and violent, Mr. Lear, who was extended on the bed by his side assisted him to turn, he, with kindness, but with difficulty, artic ulated, “I fear I give you great trouble, sir —but—perhaps it is a duty that we all owe, one to another—l trust that you may re ceive the same attention, when you shall re quire it.” As the night waned, the fatal symptoms became more imminent. His breath be came more labored and suffocating, and his voice soon after failed him. Perceiving his end approaching, he straightened himself to Ill's full length, lie folded his own hands in the necessary attitude upon liis chest— placing his finger upon the pulse of the left wrißt,|and th us cal mly pi e pared,a ud watch in g his own dissolution, he waited the summons of his Maker. The last faint hopes of his friends had disappeared. Mrs. Washington, stupified with gr lef, sat at the foot of the bed, her eyes fixed steadfastly upon him : Dr. Craik, in deep gloom, stood with his face buried in his hands at the fire—his faithful black servant, Christopher, the tears uncontrolled trickling down his face, on oue side, took the last look at liis dying master; while Mr. Lear, in speechless grief, with folded hands, bent over his pillow on the other. Nought broke the stillness of his last moments, but the suppressed sobs of the affectionate servauts collected on the stair-case, the tick of the large clock in the hall, as it measured oft’ with painful distinct ness, the last fleeting moments ot his exist ence, and the low moan of the winter wind, as it swept through the leafless, snow-cov ered trees; the laboring and wearied spirit drew nearer, and nearer, to its goal; the blood languidly coursed slower and more slowly through its channels—the noble heart stopped struggled—fluttered the right had slowly slid from the wrist upon which its finger had been placed—it fell at his side —and the manly effigy of Washington was all that remained, extended upon the death couch. A benevolent heart is the seat of content ment and hapfliness, while a sordid disposi tion begets all manner of uneasiness and dis content, and is the fruitful source of person al uuhappiness. T (Ml 1 \F & \&MK\R a “ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy’d can never be supplied.” AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. 1(V JUDGE DUEL. In the absence of Agricultural profes sional schools, could we not do much to en lighten and raise the character of American husbandry, by making its principles a branch of study in our district schools? This know ledge would seldom come amiss, and it would often prove a ready help under misfortune, to those who had failed in other business. What man is there, who may not expect, at some time of life, to profit direct ly by a knowledge of these principles? Who does not hope to become the owner, or cultivator of a garden or a farm ? And what man, en joying the blessing of health, would be at a loss for the means of an honest live lihood, whose mind has been early imbued with the philosophy of rural culture, and who would rather work than beg ? An early acquaintance with natural science is calculated to beget a taste for rural life and rural labors, as a source of pleasure, profit and honor. It will stimulate to im provement of the mind—to elevate and to purify it—to self-respect—to moral deport ment. And it will tend to deter from the formation of bad habits, which steal upon the ignorant and idle unawares, and which consign thousands of young men to poverty and disgrace, if not to premature graves. A knowledge of these principles, to a very useful extent, can be acquired with as much facility in the school, or upon the farm, as any other branches of learning. Why, then, shall they not be taught? Why shall we withhold from our Agricultural population that knowledge which is so indispensable to their profit, to their independence, and to their correct heal ing as freemen ? Why, while we boast of our superior privileges, keep in comparative ignorance of their busi ness, that class of our citizens who are truly the conservators of our freedom ? We know of but nonobjection —the want of teachers. A few yeare ago, civil engineers were not to be found among us. The demand for them created a supply. We have demonstrated that wc have the materials for civil engineers, and that we can work them up. We have materials for teachers of Agricultural science, which we can also work lip. De mand will always ensure a supply. The enumeration of the foregoing obsta cles to Agricultural improvement, sufficient ly indicates the means which will be efficient in removing them. The means consist, so far as I now propose to notice them: 1. In giving a professitmul education to the young farmer, which shall embrace the principles and the practice of the business which he is designed to follow in life ; and, 2. In diffusing, more extensively, among those who have completed their juvenile stu dies, and are better fitted to profitLy the les sons of wisdom and experience, a knowl edge of the same principles, and of the best modes of practice which these principles inculcate, and which experience has proved to be sound. We have professional schools in almost every business of life, except in the cultiva tion of the soil, one of the most important and essential of them all, and one embrac ing a larger scope of useful study in natural science, and in usefulness to the temporal wants of the human family, than any other. The policy of monarchs, and the privileged orders, has been to repress intelligence in the Agricultural mass, in order to keep them in a subordinate station. But neither the policy nor the practice should be coun tenanced byus. Our Agriculturists are our privileged class, if we have such. They are our sovereigns, because, from their superior numbers, they must ever control our political destinies, for good or for evil. And the more intelligent and independent we can render them, the more safe we make our country from the convulsions of inter nal feuds, and the danger of foreign war. I put the question to fathers—Would you esteem that son less, or think him less likely to fulfill the great duties of life, who had been educated in a professional school of Agriculture, with all the high qualifications which it could confer for public and domes tic usefulness, than him who had been edu cated for the counter, the bar, or other high Crofessional callings ? On which could you est rely for support and comfort in the de cline of life ? Nay, I will venture to carry the appeal further—to the discriminating judgment of the unmarried lady—Would you reject as a partner for life, the student of such a college, coming foitli with a sound mind, deeplyimbued with useful knowledge, and a hale constitution, invigorated by man ly exercise, whose cares and affections are likely to be concentrated upon home and country, and whose precepts and examples would tend to diffuse industry, prosperity, and rural happiness around him ? The fath er’s response would be, I think, an unhesi tating no, to the first question ; and the la dy’s, after due deliberation,! verily suspect, would be a half articulate amen ! I pretend not to the spirit of prophecy, yet I venture to predict, that many who now hear rne, will live to see professional schools of Agri culture established in our land, to see their utility extolled, and to be induJßl to believe them the best nurseries for republican vir tues, and the surest guaranty for the perpe tuity of our liberties. They should be es tablished—they will be established—and the sooner they are established, the better for our country. 3 d> U V in IB IB H THI DO BJ M© 13 n§T ■ Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. 05 s * “ Smut,” says J. Brown, “is bad enough in wheat, but worse in conversa tion.” 05 s ’ A Mississippi editor recently got a pistol ball through both his thighs, in his ef forts to obtain satisfaction. J. Brown says, he’ll have to pay the doctor to cure his bacon. Such thir.gs remind us of Billy Termina tion’s story, who swore old mother Fridy cumfraction fell down nine pair of stairs to see satisfaction. Done for. —A wag, a few years since, pro cured some eye-wash of a quack oculist in this city, to be applied to a glass eye which he wore. The oculist, not being very sharp sighted, discovered there was some defect in the eye, but thought it so trifling, that he warranted a cure or no pay. The wag took the wash and departed. In a week or so after, he returned with the empty phial, and apparently in great distress. “Oh, doctor! doctor!” said he, your d— stuff has wholly destroyed my eye!” at the same time opening the lids of the empty sock et with his finger, to the horror of the gaping oculist. “Is it possible ! can it be possible !” ex claimed the eye tinker. “ I never knew my medicine to operate so before. Well, my dear sir, I can do nothing less than re turn your money.” “ But you must do more, sir. What is five dollars to me compared with the loss of an eye ?” replied the wag. “If you will give me two hundred dollars, I will sign a pledge never to expose you ; but if you do not, 1 will prosecute you forthwith, and you are a ruined man.” The quack forked over a check for the amount, and the covey cut stick, perhaps for Texas.— N. Y. Sunday Mercury. The Musical Snuff-box. A gentleman who had a snuff-box that played “ Drops of Brandy,” and “ The Glasses Sparkle on the Board,” went to dine with a friend a few miles out of town one Sunday, taking his box in his pocket. He accompanied the family to the parish church, and by some ac cidental pressure, about the middle of the service, touched the spring of the box, which struck up “ Drops of Brandy” most merri ly. Every eye and every ear was directed towards the spot, to the great dismay of the gentleman, who endeavored to stay the box, but in doing so he only caused it to change the tune, on which he hastened out of the church, the box rattling away whilst he marched along the aisle. Singular Banter. —At a soiree recently given, some young ladies urged a dashing and spirited young fellow to join the Wash ingtonians. He promised to do so, if any one of the company would compose a verse of poetry, presenting as strong reasons a gainst drinking, as lie could recite in favor. The challenge was accepted, and the young gentleman gave this verse, from Anacreon : “ When I drink, I feel, I feel Visions of poetic zeal; When 1 drink, my sorrow’s over, I think of doubts, and fears, no more!” The above was instantly answered as fol lows : “ Thus sung the old bard, and on his couch sunk, As mellow as gropes in October; He found it a foretaste of Heav’n to get drunk, But he found it a Hell to get sober !” The young gentleman immediately joined the tetotallers. A young sprig from New York visited the Shakers, at Lebanon, the other day, and as he was wandering through the village, en countered a stout hearty specimen of the sect, and thus accosted him: “Well, Broad brim, are you much of a Shaker ?” “Nay,” said the other, “ not overmuch, but I can do a little that way.” So he seized the aston ished Gothamite by the collar, and nearly shook him out of his boots ! Speaking in a hurry. —A messenger arri ved in great haste, his eyes starting and his hair streaming in the wind—at an eastern city some years since—exclaiming at the top of his voice, “ The Eliver Olsworth has b’iled her bu’ster ! the Eliver Olsworth has b’iled her bu’ster!” Ringing the Changes. —One speaking of the wind said, it was the most changeable thing in the world ; “ for I went,” says he, “up Cheapside in the morning, and it was to my back ; and in less than half an hour afterwards, when I returned, I found it in my face.” The Complaisant Husband. —A gentle man, seeing his wife in a very sullen mood, asked her how she did. She answered him that she was not sick, nor yet very well. Nay, quoth he. then I may even turn thee out of doors, for I only promised to cherish thee “ in sickness or health ;” which answer awakened her sullen humor. Marked Pudding. — The editor of the Lowell Patriot relates, that when at College he used to mark some of the crusts of bread at tea time “on commons,” and a week af ter would find the same marks served up in the form of bread pudding. A recent lecturer, in discoursing upon old maids, gave the following as his beau ideal of that interesting class of society : “At sixty she hadn’t given up the idea of getting married ; and when her hair was as grey as a rat, and but one dark yellow tooth stood a solitary sentinel at the falling door way of her carnivei ous mouth, she was heard to say in reply to her age : ‘ Well, I’m get ting a little old now; but I have seen the time when I was as good as ever I was !” Laconic. —“ Jack, how many legs would a calf have, calling the tail one?” “Five, of course,” answered Jack. “No,’tvvould n’t neither,” says Bill, “ because calling the tail one leg wouldn’t make it so, would it ?” MAIL ARRANGEMENTS.
