HARDY K. POOLE, Adm’r. May 21.—7—1 m From Eveiett’s Franklin Lecture. DISTINGUISHED SELF-TAUGHT AMERICANS. If we needed any encouragement to make these efforts to improve our mind, we might find it in every page of our country’s history. No where do you meet with examples, more numerous and more brilliant, of men who have risen above poverty and obscurity and every ] disadvantage, to usefulness and an honorable name. Our whole vast continent was added to the geography of the world, by the persevering efforts of an humble Genoese mariner, the great Columbus, who, by the steady pursuit of tho en lightened conception which he had of the earth, before any navigator had acted upon the belief that it was round, and discovered the American continent. He was the son of a Genoese pilot; a pilot and seaman; and, at one period of his melancholly career, was reduced to beg his bread at the doors of the convents in Spain! But he earned within himself, and beneath an humble exterior, a spirit for which there was not room in Spain, in Europe, nor in the then known world, and which led him onto a height of usefulness and fame beyond that of all the tnonarchs that ever reigned. The story of our Franklin cannot be repeat ed too often; the poor Boston boy, the son of an humble tradesman, brought up a mechanic, himself, a stranger at colleges till they shower ed their degrees upon him; who rendered his country the most important service in estab lishing her independence; enlarged the bounds of philosophy by anew department of science; j and lived to be pronounced, by Lord Chatham, J in the British House of Peers, an honor to j Europe and the age in which he lived. Why should I speak of, Greene, who left his ! blacksmith’s furnace to command an army in the revolutionary war; the chosen friend of Washington, and next to him, perhaps, the mili tary leader, who stood highest in the confidence ofhis country? West, the famous painter, was the son of a Quaker in Philadelphia; he was too poor, at the beginning of his career, to purchase canvass and colors; and he rose eventually to be the first artist in Europe, and President of the Roy al Academy at London. Count Rumlort was the son of a farmer, at Woburn; he never had the advantage of a col lege education, but used to walk down to Cam bridge to hear lectures on natural philosophy, lie became one of the most eminent philoso phers in Europe; founded the royal institution in London, and had the merit of bringing for ward Sir Humphrey Davy, as the lecturer on chemistry, in that establishment. Robert Fulton was a portrait painter in Penn sylvania, without friend or fortune. By his successful labors in perfecting steam navigation, he has made himself one of the greatest bene factors of man. Whitney, the 3on of a Massachusetts farmer, was a machinest. His cotton gin, according to Sudge Johnson, of the Supreme Court of the United States, has trebled the value of all the cotton land at the South, and has had an incal culable influence on the agricultural and me c! a iral industry of the world. Whittemore, of West Cambridge, the person who invented the machinery fi# the manufac ture of cards, possessed no other means of improvement than those which are within the reach of every temperate and industrious man. Several in this audiance were probably ac quainted with the modest and sterling merit of the late Mr. Paul Moody. To the efforts of his self-taught mind, the early prosperity of the great manufacturing establishment at Wal tham and Lowel. is in no small degree owing. I believe I may say with truth that-not one of these individuals enjoyed, at the outset, superi or opportunities for acquiring useful kno vledge, to those within the reach of every one who hears me. These are all departed; but we have living among us illustrious instances of men, who, without early advantages, but by the resolute improvement of the few opportunities thrown in their way, have rendered themselves in like manner, useful to their fellow men, the objects of admiration to those who witness theii attain ments, and of gratitude to those who reap the fruit of their labors. Edward Buckett’s Courtship. —Old Mister Posey, the fath r of Polly Posey, lived clos’t by our house and Polly used to come over rite often ; she was a darn’d purty gal, and 1 uueu to have some mighty quere lecliags about It comes, tli c Herald ofa Golden Wor 1 and. her; at last one day, my mother says to me, “Ned, why don’t you court Polly Posey.”— “ Oh,” I, “mammy, I do want to, but I don’t know what to say lo her.” “ W T hy, Ned,” says she, “ gest go, an’ the first good chance you git say, fine weather, Miss Polly, and that will he a beginning, and one word brings on another, and when you git in a good way of chat, gest say, Miss Polly you’ve got my hart; and if she likes that purty well, then pop the question.”— So, one Sunday evening I told mother I tuought it was a good time to go to see Polly, she said so did she. So I fixed up, put on my best clothes and corned my hair, and axed mother if she thought I’d do. “Oh yes,” says she. I’d call you the ‘ clean thing’ now.” So off I starts, and soon found myself at Mr. Posey’s tloor. “Who’sthar?” says Mrs. Posey. “Edward Bucket,” says I. “Walk in, Mr. Bucket, how’s your mammy and the children ?” “ All stir in,” I thank yo, how’s all your folks!” “All well sir.” There sot Polly, says I, “What’s the news, Miss Polly?” “Oh, Mr. Bucket,” says she, nothing, I believe, only 1 herd you were about to get married.” Thar, thought I the subject’s broached already. “Oh, no” says I, Miss Pollv, only wants to he.” About this time night comes on, and it begun to rain dread fully ; in ran the old man, “ How are you, Mr. Bucket ?” “ Well, I thank you.” After awhile supper was over, and I begun to think 1 ought to he saying something on the subject.— ] So I set on my chair and my heart swelled ; all was full of life but me ; I w'as thinking about my bizziness; so at last says Mrs. Posey “Pol ly go to the door,and see it the rain don’t quit.” Polly jumped up and run to the door, and look ing out, said; I’ts so a > 1 can’t see hut by the lightnen ; l see another Cw"'.) j ll - 4 ‘ !C “ hind.” Now, thought I, is my lime. Polly kept staving in the piazar, and I sot still, sighing in my chair, till at last I called up all my courage, and walked to where Pollv was; it was so dark, I could’nt see her, and so I spoke that she might answer, so as how I cou’d find her. “Fine weather, Miss Polly,” “Oh,no, Mister Bucket, it’s too rainy.” “ Well, I don’t noe, but the rain does make it worse,” says I, and by this time I had got my hand on her shol der. “One word brings on another,” says I. “Sometimes,” says she. “La ! Mr. Bucket, what an ugly night for a wedding.” Thar, thought I, now’s my time ; so, says I, “ Miss Polly mother says you’ve got my liver.” —“Oh, no, Air. Buckett, may’bc its your heart.” This stumped me, and if I could of got my hat, 1 blevc I would left off then, but she kept talking on full of life, but I could’nt forget the liver—so I told j her I would come again, before long, and she | said she didn’t care if I did ; and I told her I j wanted to court her and she said she did’nt care j if I did ; so I got my hat and started ho lie, after the usual good night and all the way home I kept thinking about the. liver, but I thought no body would noe it, and I would rub off—But Polly told all the gals of it, ’till mother get hold of it, and I guess as how I got a genteel scold ing—but the people all laffed at me so much about it that I got right mad with Polly,and haint spoke to her since, and every time I see a young feller, without experience, arter the gals, I think of the fine weather and the liver. EDWARD BUCKET. • Improvement of Time. —To be careful how wc manage and employ our time is one of the first precepts that is taught in the school of w isdom, and one of the last learned. Among all the blessings which are bestowed upon us, time is the most precious ; yet shore is none perhaps of which most men are more pro fuse and regardless. It is dealt out to us iu min utes and little parcels, as if we were not fit to he trusted with the entire possession of such a choice treasure. We assume the position as a fact established by admission, that farmers have more leisure hours than any other class of the community.— But should proof be demanded it would only he necessary to appeal to the great mass of practi cal farmers, and the evidence would he as abun dant as the witnesses would he numerous. It is generally admitted by farmers that in Winter they can do hut little with regard to man ual labor. This is true; but we cannot admit that the elements are unpropilious to intellectual industry and improvement,or that he who was [iroclaimed his unalterable edict, that man shall earnhis bread by the sweat ofhis brow, and gave to him his dignified employment, should throw His icy mantle over the mind. No; this incle ment portion of time seems to be particularly de signed by Providence fur the improvement of the mind, and soci 1 intercourse. Then, why not improve it ? It is asked how farmers shall im prove it to the best advantage ? We would sug gest the following plan for consideration, with the hope that it will be adopted if a better one cannot be devised. Let fanners within the limits of each school district form an association for the discussion of Agricultural subjects in all its branches. Let it he exclusively for this object. Call it the Farm ers Lyceum, if you please. Meet at the district school house, or any other convenient place, once a week. Appoint a president, secretary, and such other officers as arc necessary to or ganize the society and to transact business. At the close of each meeting let a question he pro posed for discussion at the ensuing meeting, and assign the parts to the speakers, &c. As soon as a sufficient number of district associations arc formed, appoint delegates from all tho dis trict Lyceums to meet in some convenient place, to organise a Town Lyceum, to he composed of liic mcailisrs of the several district Lyceums. Let this assosiation meet once a month for the purpose of discussing subjects relating to the va rious branches of Agriculture, in the same man ner as in the district Lyceum. Parts to be 4 as signed to one or more individuals from each district, &c. &c. We do not pretend to dictate the course to be pursued in organizing or conducting such asso ciations,hut merely propose this method of spend ing our leisure time We confidently believe that the happiest ef fects would result from such exercises. Those associations would be the means of diffusing much useful information on the subject of Agri culture, as the lectures or discussions would be given by individuals daily employed in, or con versant with, the pursuits connected with the ai t. In this way we could secure the advantage of theory and practice, which go hand in hand in improvements. It would eulisl a laudable spir it of inquiry, and would soon spread its salutary influences through the. whole community. The proper inquiry would be heard. What is the cause, and the effect ? The different modes of farming would be compared, and the results giv en. The effects of experiments already tried would be revealed and the results communica ted. In short, the mind would be enriched and the farm improved.— Farmers Reporter. Kentucky!sms. —l can out talk any man in the United States and give him half an hour the start.

Sweetly the dead obey our commands, and come up at our bid ding, and we see them beautiful as they once were, or pale and lifeless as last wc saw their cold remains. Sometime in the autumn of IS—, the writer then a mere youth, was walking in one of the mountain towns in Vermont, with one of the most amiable youths of that section of country. His name was James Manning Hall, of an excellent family, and breathing, in the heigth of his worldly bliss, the balmy air of the tweltli year ofhis existence We remember well the af fectionate dignity ol this generous and noble minded little man. The sun was goingdownwith a lustrous splen dour over the ridges of the Green Mountains as we separated. We shook hands, repeated the words good night! good night! an usual num ber of times, and then stood looking after each other with smiles. We little thought that our separation was,as it regards this world, a final one. The next morning, the beautiful, the benev olent, the sober-minded, and the intellectual James Manning Hall, was an inanimate image of clay. He had thoughtlessly ascended the ladder of a cart body which was leaning against the fence, and when l e had nearly gained the top, it fell ever upon him, and crushed his skull. His death was instant. A whole community were in tears. My heart was broken. Long years of sorrow and the iush of a thousand stirring events throngh my bosom have not effaced his dear image from my memory. I can still see the smile of his last good night! A wag having run himself over head and cars in debt, and seemed very unconcerned about it, his friends told him that they wondered how ho could sleep quietly when he was so much in debt; for myself, said the other, I sleep very well, but I am astonished that niy creditors ! can. An officer who lost his leg in battle, suffered amputation with the gieatest courage,his servant was ervirig, or pretending to cry, in the corner of the room; none of your hypocritical tears you idle dog, said he ; you know you are very glad ; for now vou will have only one boot to clean in stead of two. Jin Artist of Ability. —“lV — is an artist of great ability,” said one. “I do not know said an other,“l am certain lie is an artist of imf-ability.” THE GOVERNOR’S LITTLE MISTAKE. The substitution of the false document for the true one, originated in the Federal Union O ffico it seems, for so we must understand the apolo gy ut that paper of the last week, when it says the Governor ordered “copies of the resolu tions to be printed.” And when it says that “by onq of those accidents to which even the most vigilant are liable, these copies were pre pared from the, resolutions a3 they exi~b>d “in their original shaic, as introduced bv Mr. Tur ner.” One and perhaps the most important of its features, was left out of the Governor’s copy, so that by another ofthose accidents aforesaid, they were sent to the other States neither in the form introduced by Mr. Turner, nor as finally passed. But who printed this mutilated copy tor the Governor? The discreet reserve of the Federal Union evinces so great a coyness on this point that we feci same reluctance in pressing it. Indeed we do so only from abso lute necessity; for until it is known who first put forth this spurious copy, nothing is known. We must assume for the present, what is c.U most confessed, that the Federal Union press jointed the false copies sent by the Governor to the other States. Now if this was done from a copy furnished to that press by the Ex ecutive, then the Governor re the author of nil. But if from a paper not furnished by that de partment,then the Governor is no farther blame able than in putting forth ns a most important ac! of the sovereignty of the State, a paper that had not evert any pretended evidence of gen ! uineness.—This last hypothesis divides the blame between the Executive Department mid the Federal Union, in what proportions, we must leave them to settle between themselves, not being dialecticians enough ourselves to de termine so nice a point. It however we might he admitted to put in a word, we should sav the F • utive semis entitled to much the largest dividend. Responsibility bears a direc t pro portion to the credit assumed by the vendor. If foi instance, the Governor had purchased his copies from a pedlar, every one sees how “mull a share the said pedlar would come in for. But the fact being as we presume, that he received tliein from a workman or apprentice of resident respectable persons, such as our neighbors of the Federal Union, his responsibility is corrres pondently diminished. Having stated the terms , of the case, we leave others to work out the i sum, which of course is to be done by the rule l of single fellowship. It is certainly unneces sary to inform the intelligent student, that what ever proportion of the sum total of censure may be awarded to the Executive, the Editors of the Federal Union are fuirly entitled to the residue; We admire the frankness of the Editors of the F. Union in confessing whnt is apparent on their files. They confess that (after furnish ing the spurious cojiies to the Governor, as we presume they did,) they published them in that paper on the 3d of January. We do on our part also eonfess that we copied these same resolu tions in the same form in the Journal of the 10th of January; copying them from the Feder al Union of tho preceding week. Wc further more confess, that seeing them there printed “by authority,” we supposed they were correct, ns we were authorised to do, and therefore looked, no further for authority; we add that wo had not then or for some time afterwards, tho authentic copy in our possession. Now it is not iuijiossible that others may be so very un reasonable as to blame us for taking any thing from the Federal Union, even what purported to be mi official copy of an official document: but that the Editors should turn round and re proach, •! in any way to endeavor to disparage us for our easy faith, is not only the unkindest, but the strangest cut of all. As to the Governor, iie lias no benefit from either erf these publications “by authority.” He sent off bis dispatches previous to the Fed eral Union publication, and therefore previous to our reprint of it. He either sent to tho Editors of that paper the unauthorised copy from which they p'inted the copies he sent off; or else lie touk ff.o printed copy they sent him, without any injury into its authority, llad lie waited for the correct copy we printed with the laws; or if in anticipation of that, he had required, ns he should have done, the certificate of (he prop er officer, he would have avoided an error, that has placed Georgia, torn time, before the Union and tho world, in a inlse position in respect to the high principles of her State soverignty. We are informed that the mistake hus been corrected. W o suppose this has been done by sending to each State true copies of the res olutions. This is well. The Governor has done rightly, and this was all that he now could do. We are glad to sec that he has corrected his er ror so soon after w e pointed it out. The gen tlemen of the Federal Union may have the grat ification of knowing—they at least have cur testi mony, that they have defended his Excellency as well perhaps as ho could have been defend, cd, on the plan they adopted; though we can not h it think it would have been better tactics to have plead guilty and filed exculpatory mat ter; than to have sought f> cast the blame otr other people.—Gtwrg-.’a Joiowaf.
