Speak gently—let no harsh words mar
Tue good we might do here 1
Speak gently I Love doth fyiiiaperlnw
The love that true hearts bind;
And gently friendship’s accents flow;
Aftection's voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child!
Its love be sure to gam ;
Teach it an accents soft and mild;—
It may not long remain.
Speak to the young, for they
YY'ill i.ave enough to bear—
Pass they through lite as best they may
’l'ia full of anxious care I
Speak gently- to the aged one,
Grieve not the careworn heart;
The sands of life are nearly run, .
Let such in peace depart 1
Speak gently, kindly to the poor 1
Let no harsh tone be lmu df
. They have enough they must endure
Withfiut an unkind word!
Speak gently to the erring—know,
They may have toiled in vain;
Perchance unkinduess made them so;
0 win them back again 1
Speak gently ! He who gave his life
To bend man’s stubborn will,
"When elements were fierce with strife,
Said to them. “Peace, be still.’,
Speak gently 1—’tis a little thing
Dropped in the heart’s deep well;
The good, the joy, which it may bring,
F temirv shall tell.

The power of Kindness.
A certain individual Yvhom we
shall call Ballard, yvus one of tiic
most cross-graiueti and peevish of melt.
It was misery to be near him. H,
grumbled anti snarled incessantly and
Found lauit with every one and evert
tiling around him. Nothing seenu-a
to please him. tie seemed to exist in
one perpetual foment of irascible im
patience,- uncomfortable himself, ami
.sowing tile seeds of anger, fretful ness
and discord witerever be appeared.—
His home YVas especially unhappy.—
Bitter retorts and putssionate invective
obtained dominant sway. lie con
stantly railed at his wife and she re-
piied in the same unloving-strain ;
the children quickly imbibed a like
vindictive liabu, until such a thing an
a pleasant look or kindly word was
never known among them.
One day Mr. Badurd was returning
to his cheerless dwelling, more fever
ish in temper than was his wont, in
consequence of some disappointment^,
ready to vent his angry spleen upon
his lamily as soon as he arrived. Ii
the supper was not ready to sit down
to at the very moment, he would a -
inost turn the house upside down anti
strike his wife to the quick with his
taunting complaints. But chancing
to approach a little sunny-haired girl,
whose mild blue e)es and loving lace
were such a picture ol bursting kind
ness as he had never mn before, an
incident occurred which effected a
complete revolution in his peevish
trame of mind and planting a new feel
ing in liis turbulent breast. The girl
and one evidently her older brother,
were playing with a small carriage ;
and suddenly turning near a stone step,
she aecidentaly struck the carriage,
against one corner, and broke it inlo
atoms. In a passionate burst of ang r
the boy advanced, and struck his sis
ter a severe blow in the face, with
his clenched hand, stamped his feet in
a tempest of fury upon the ground.
Bui instead of returning the blotv
and revengeful speech, after an invol
untary cry of pain, the noble girl laid
her bead gently on her brother’s arm,
and looking sorrowfully into his flush
ed face, softly said, ‘Oh brother Tom !
I did not think you would do thai.”—
In a moment as if suing by a hot iron,
the boy shrunk back, and hung his
head in shame and conscience-stricken
pain. Then he 3aid, “Forgive me,
dear Helen, I will never do it again.”
And scarce had the penitent words left
his lips, when bis sister’s arms were
thrown around his necic, and forgive
ness sobbed on his iTreast. I!ere was
a lesson for Ballard ! At first he was
S uite stunned by it: he could not uu-
erstand it. It was something utter
ly beyond his philosophy. But he felt
tnat it had somehow done him good.
Bit by bit as he proceeded on, his
own angry feelings vanished till he
felt more calm anti kindly than he had
doie for years. Yea, he was softened
to his heart’s core, and he felt some
thing very like moisture springing to
his eyes.
Little nothing the wonderful ehange
which had taken place in her husband’s
temper, Mrs. Ballard was dreading
his arrival home, for supper was not
near ready, and she had the misfor
tune to bnrn t.he cakes she had
baked for that meal. And the chii-
‘dren, copying from her, tvere unusual
ly cross and bad. In vain she had
scolded and whipped them ; they on
ly snarled and struck each other, and
almost drove her distracted with their
quarreling confussion.
Mr Ballard entered, and whatever
could be the matter Ball d
i <v)n]d scarcely give credit to her sen*
ses. Instead of dashing the door be
hind hun in a pettish crash, aud stamp
ing, Ins way forward to the kitciieii
he took the crying baby from its bed,
and hushed it with the softest and
mo it e .dearing words he had e-cr
used. Aud his face had a smile ou it
—a real, kind, sliuushiny smile—
W iiat .-tiange wonder was this ?—
Mrs. Ballurd was, at first, struck quite
dumb with astonishment, and t ie
children staitsd at tlieir changed fath
er as if at a a ss to seek the m) stery
out. He spake, and actually said,
“Mary, is supper nearly read3' r I’m
as hungry as a hunter!” Their Yvon-
der increased more and more.—
The children bardiv seemed assured
whether it was their father or not ;
and Mrs. Ballard scarcely knew
whether to believe in the evidence of
her eyes anc ears. But the change
was real. Already a blesse i feeling
diffused through the family circle, like
unto the falling of the morning dew,
of the fragrant breath of summer flow
ers. At first, hesitatingly, Mrs. Bal
lard rep! e.l—“Supper will be rea
dy directly. Eat I am so sony these
c. kes are burned. Must Willie run
to the bakery for a loaf?" “No,
never mind,” returned Mr. Ballard,
“vve can scrape off the burned part,
and then they will taste as Yvell as
ueed be.”
An taste as Yvell they did, and bet
ter than cakes had tasted in the Bal-
tarti dwelling for a longtime before.—
Not one j..r ing speech’" marred t'e
pleasantness ol that happy meal. M.
Ballard’s knidiy speech aud smiling
face had di scendod to liis wife, and
from both became reflected in their
children. The house looked'brighter.
The beautiful mantle of cheerfulness
.ad fallen on it, and there was unut-
erable music in tue very ticking of
the old clock. Mrs. Ballard cried
with delight, when she say the baby
crowing in its smiling latlrr’s lap;
and he promised, if the elder ones
would be good, to take them on a nice
walk wiih him on the next Sabbath
day. And she resolved never more
to speak a peevish or ang-y word
.tgaui, it constant walchftiln ss could
prevent their utterance, but retain the.
peaceful happiu* ss which only kind
words and smiles can bring. A hap
py inlluei.ee, loo, was exerted on the
children. They no louger saw peev
ishness and ang r in their parents;
and gradually, but surely, lost it in
themselves. Ami Mr. Bu lard, when
ever he felt his old bad feelings rising
up, to find an oiuer Y T ent, called to
mind the conduct of the blue-eyed
girl, and resolutely crushed tuem

The Bible.—flow comes this little
volume, composed oy iiumole men, m
a rude age, when art and science Were
but in tlieir cLuidiiuoii, has exerted
more influence on me human mind
and on the social sy stem tuan all the
other books put together? Whence
comes it that this book has achieved,
such marvellous changes in the opinion
of|inauk.;id—has banned idol worsuip
—has auolished infanticide—has put
down polygamy' and divorce—exalted
the condition of woman—raised the
standard of publio 'morality—created
for famaiies that blessed thing, a
C'hristaiii nome—and secured further
triumphs by causing benevolent insti-
tatdons, open nnd expansi**, to opting
up as with the wand of enchantment !
What sort of a book is ih.s, that even
the winds and the waves of human
passions obey it ? What other engine
of social improvement has operated so
long, and yet lost none of its virtue ?
Since it appeared many boasted plaus
of amelioration have been tried and
failed, many codes of jurisprudence
have arisen, and run their course, and
expired. Empire alter empire has been
launched upon the tide of time, and
gone down leaving no trace upon the
waters. But this book is still going
about doing good, leaving society with
its holy principles—cheering tne sor
rowful with its consolation—strength
ening the tempted -encouraging tin-
penitent—canning the troubl d spirit
—and smoothing the pillow of death.
Can such a book be the offspring of hu
man genius? Does not the vastness ol
its effects demostrate the excellency of
the power to be of God ?
The Zodiacal Light.—It is said
that one of the results of the Japan
Expedition is the discovery that the
Zo iiaial light is a belt extending
entirely around the earth, after the
manner of Saturn’s ring. The matter
has excited a good deal of interest
among the astronomers, and Prof.—
Pierce, of Cambrige, considers the fact
established by the observation taken.

A Popular Error.
Strange as, upon reflection, it may
s -ein, the opinion prevails to a great
extent, that a more limited education
is sufficient for the planter than is nee-
deed by those persons who are to en
gage in almost any other business.—
Very many conceive that a knowledge
of the simple principles of Arithmetic,
a general acquaintance with the forms
of BiHik-ke. ping, and a good symtem
of Penmanship, is an ample intellectual
capital for the merchant. Shrewdness,
it is said, will do the balance towards
.success in trade; but, what is to consti
tute the basis of this shrewdness, is a
question very indefinitely determin*-d,
aa yet, in the minds of most people.—
That a knowledge of geography in all
its numerous branches, of the laws of
commerce, of civil law. of political
economy, can combine to bring success
in mercantile pursuits, has never enter
ed the minds of the majority.
But for the farmer, many, even of
the intelligent, regard as pure waste
the expenditure of money and time in
procuring any mental training beyond
a little ciphering and a little Yvriting.
For him Jess education than for the
merchant even is thought necessary to
a profitable practice of the science of
Agriculture. The planter thinks that
a knowledge of Natural Philosophy
and Chemistry, of the Philosophy of
Plants and Animals, of Mathematics
and Languages, and, in short, of all
the various matters taught in the
schools and in books, is a luxury too
great, in the ever-present hard times,
ior himself or bis sun, who is to inher
it his estate, and which he thinks a
result of ignorance) as irksome in the
acquisition, as fruitless in the result.
it is generally conceded that a liber
al education is needed by him who is
to enter any of the learned professions,
though tiie"benetits resulting therefrom,
are not so obvious in the case of the
w’ell educated husbandman, because
in tbe latter case the effects exhibit
themselves in a more practical form.
Now why will the farmers of Geor
gia consent to remaiu tlie most poorly
educated class of the white population.
It needs no argument to psuve that in
point of importan' c and consequence
and dignity, the cultivation of the earth
is an occupation inferior to none, bat
superior to many exactly in proportion
as the interests of the country and of
mankind are intimately interwoven
with aud dependent on the farming in
terest. As to eat is absolutely indis
pensable to the happiness of man, so it
is to raise the greatest amount, at the
least cost, and with the least permanent
injury to the land, a matter of the
greatest moment. And the science of
Agriculture is par uxcelleuce the science,
inasmuch as more .than any other one,
it combines and implies all sciences.
While ali the sciences are to a great
er or less extent coadjutors, especially
so arc Mechanical Pliuoeop.iy, Chemis
try, and Geology. Our limits will not
premit us to designate the Ui -s to which
a knowledge of these branches may be
put; tve must leave that to another
time, or to able persons. But if they
will enabler men to select land well:
to determine the character of soils, and
the plants best adapted thereto, or
most likely to thrive thereon; and
to construct, so that the greatest a-
mount of work may be done with
the least power, all the varied machi
nery needed in the tillage of ground:
then are the three subjects above
mentioned eminently entitled to the
careful study of our farmers.
We assert that no class of men
have greater inducement* to study
more, and we venture to affirm that
no class study and reflect less upon
the nature of their peculiar calling
than do our fanners We have pub
lished in this State at least two papers
deYoied to the planting interest, and
yet how poorly tney are patronised by
the very men whose welfare they ar*
well calculated to promote, we will
not tell, lest in the truth Yve exceed
belief. The Press may almost be said
to teem with periodicals and books
upon the theory and practice of Agri
culture. We may mention as being
akeiy to interest every planter, two
among recent publications,—John
ston’s Agricultural Chemistry, and
Warmg’s Elements of Agriculture.—
To the citizens of this countrv and
the State we sav get these books and
read them. Three dollars will buy
them, and they will be worth to you
more tnan three tuus of Peruvian guano
another term for humbug.
Patronise the agricultural papers of
vour State, aud our word for it, you
will be repaid. We earnestly desire
u> see the uay when those who con
stitute the bulk of our citizens will be
as intelligent and a* philosophical in
those dep r.meuia as are our lawyer*
and dolors in theirs, and then may
.ve reasonably expect miUemam in
the times generally.
