Not softer on the ivestcrii wave

Like spirits crowd upon the eye ;.

The few we liked——the one we loved,
And the whole lieaitis ineinory.

Yet as the showers around us lotver,
Ilcavcn pours above the brighter blaze.

W'hcn morning sheds its gorgeous dye, _
Our hope, our heart, to cartli is given ;

Tliat turns not, at its eve, to heaven.

The march ofimprovemeut, in this highly
favoured land——in all the departments ofpcr-
fsonal comfort, domestic economy, anil nation-
':tl attainmeiit, is the wonder and admiration
ofthe world. As a country, the United States
has placed herself high upon the catalogue of
nations, and by her immense physical resoiir-
ces, her spirited enterprize—-lier intellectual
ciiltivat_ion—-by her arts, her commerce and her
arins, has deserved and secured the respect of
iiiaiiltiinl.

Here liberty dwells, and sheds its propitious
itifiiicnce upon our character and prospects as
a nation. Moral and physical causes combine
to render oitr country one ofthe most f-av'o_red
that the light of heaven visits. Every ci.tszcp
who can appreciate his blessiiigs——ever_v patri-
ut who loves his coiintry—every cliiisiian who
is 'v.':trined with gratitiide, will exclaiui with
the Shepherd King, “'I‘ruly the lilies have
falleii to its in plczisaut places, and we have a
goodly heritage.”

and ttirn from the table which her hand has
spread for every living thing. In meeting
such a society as this, at the season when our
garners are ftill, wliefn our paths drop marrow
and fatness, and the year is crowned with the
goodness of the Lord, our oliligatioiis to be
grateful, our motives to he coiitciiteil, are so
obvious and pressing, that we cannot fail to
urge all its members to licartfclt praise, whils-
Wt; contemplate for a l'i=,w moments, some of
those topics which appear appropriate to the
speaker and the occasion.

In considering the present state and pros-'
pects ofour country, we are naturally led to
rcinember our liistor_v. It is but a few years,
since "our whole country was one vast wilder-
ness, in which civilization and culture were
iinknown--fewer still since the struggle. ofour
national existence and liberty. Siut-c the pe-
riod ofour independence, the progress of in‘.-
provement has been greater than ziiiiiiiig any
people that ever lived. Ilerc elilt}t‘[i:'l2’.e aml
inditstry have supplied the place ofcapital and
c;-xpcrieiice; ingenuity and economy liaw
fit rnislied that which learning and tvi=.alth
have secured to their possessors in older coun-
tries. Our coinmeicc has been womleifully
extensive anil sncccsful. From the sinallest
beginnings, it rose to distinction. The navy
was its first born, and now our rnaritiine pow-
er is evgi-y where respected, and can be ren-
dered formidable whenever the nation shall
require it for protection, or conquest.

Domestic mannfactories, the moninnent of
the wise policy ofa free and virtuous people,
have been followed by extensive establish-
ments equally honorablc and beneficial.
When they shall enjoy the patronage of gov-
ernment as extensively as they deserve, they
will compete with the old world and enjoy
their reputation and profit, without that train
of evils, which surrounds and corrupts the
work shops of Europe.

The mechanic arts have advanced with a
celerity and triumph, unparztlleled in their
previous history. The principles of science
have been Sll(‘,”.f3iSflllly3i')l)llt3(l to all useful in-
struments, to all labor-savings machines—to
the most common and simple operation, and
at this moment ingenuity and learning are
combining their efforts for the good of inatt-
kintl. VVe can sustain unmoved the unjust
taunts of our enemies abi'oa:.l,wliilc we enjoy
at home the labors of Fulton, Wiiitizizy and
Perlri-ns, and enroll their names ainorig our
patriots and bencfactors.

A new monument has recently been erect-
ed to the wisdom and enterprise of this state,
and while it records our honor will distingnisli
our age. The project which has iiiterested the
attention of the civilized world is complete,
and more than three liundrcrl miles of artifi-
cial navigation isf,in successful operation,bear-
iiig on the bosoiu ofits waters the products of
our skill and the fruits of our fields.

Among the most important institutions of
the age, the agricultural societies are to be
ranked with honor by every‘ sound statesman
and every wise man. They are exerting a
most beneficial influence‘, exciting public at-
tention to the most iinport-ant subject, and di-
recting the public energies and industryto the
most successful results. They are founded in
public want, with the approbation of public
discernment and wisdom. They embrace the
most useful anil important class ofour citizens.

Agricultureis the basis of national strength,
prosperity and happiness. The well inform-
cd farmer is the beiicfactor of his cotiutry~—
the source of its power—tbc maker and ad-
ministrator ofits laws--the patron of its lear-
ning, the fountain of its wealth, its defender
and its irlory.

respect, and solicit their attention wliileI at-
tcinpt to point out some of their privileges
and duties, as the free anil independent yet)-
iiianry of our country.

Your privileges growing out of your occu-
pation, are inexpicssibly great. The employ-
ment itself is dignified. Some of the best
men of history, have followed the exainple of
o_ur first parent, and in the sweat of their fa-
ces, tilled the ground. The‘ employment was
assigned by God ‘liimself to man, evenin his
innocence, and it is continued to H5 in meicy
in our fallen state, not only to supply the
wants of tlieliuuian family, but to promote
the truest honor and felicity of its members.
It is conceded that it is laborious, but man
must have occupation or be miserable. Toil
is the price ofsleep and appelite,of health and
enjoyment. The very necessity which over-
comes our natural sloth is a blessing. The
world does not contain a brier or a thorn that
divine mercy could have spared. We are
happier with the sterility whicliwe can over-
come by industry, than we could have been
with spontaneous plenty, and unbounded pro-
fusion. The body and the mind are improv-
ed by the very toil that fatigiics tliciii, and
that toil is it thousand times rewariled by the
pleasures which it bestows. Its enjoynients
are peculiar, no wealth can purchase them-
no honor can win tlicm—no inilclence can
taste tlieru. 'l‘hcy only flow from the exer-
tion which thcy ever repay.

‘These are tltybleSSll]&,S.i1l(lllSlI'l[:' roii;-_r,ii power!
‘t‘Cli0ui labor stlll attenils,aiid ‘toil and pain :
Yet the kind source ofcvery gentle art,

:’i.nil all the soft civility oflifc.

Agricultural pursuits are eminently friend-
ly to intellectual attaiiuncnt, to learning and
science. The state itself is favorable for the
iriiliivatinii of letters. No iinprovenieut of the
iuiud has ever been found wlicre the cultiva-
tion of the carili is neglected. Poetry and
the arts have ever been connected with pas-
toral lifc, and always begin to floiirlsh in ru-
ral scenes. A savage state where subsistence
tlepends upon the precarious supply which the
water or the huiitiug ground furnish, is abso-
lutely hostile to intellcctiial culture, to the arts
and sciences. The elegance of the niind—-—
comiiicrcc, litcratiire, and even liberty itself,
are the fruits ofagricultiiral skill,industry and
success. They are supported by them and
depend upon them. When they cease, the
others are ilostroycd. When more is raised
than the cultivator consumes, the surplus sup-
ports the merchant, the iuaniifactiirer, the ar-
tist, and those engaged in professional pur-
suits. Tho farmer, alone, is truly indepen-
dent, and if he is wise, he will by his own in-
diistry and economy preserve in his own hands
the very elements of lil;erty,aud have no wants
that his own farm cannot supply.

The progress of luxury will benefit him, if
he does not stiffer‘ it to Invade his own pre-
cinc-=.s. In proportion to the real or artificial
wants of others, the value of his labor rises.
it is only when he himself becomes the vic-
tim offz.=.’.-e'nri and style, that he loses his dig-
nified iii::lc;.c::dciice in idle wants and prepos-
terous mnbition. If he emulates the extrav-
agaiice of the city in his dwelling, his equip-
agc and his ili'css-—il' he assumes the style of
tlic cffcuiinatc victims ofplcastire, he will cu-
joy tlzc rid_ii:iile of the wise and sink to utter
iii.~ig:2ificance and unpitied ruin. And why
should you not be content with the abundant
l.l€ssings which It most beiieficent father has
givcii you. You have within yourselves evo-
ry thing really ni‘cc.-isary, every thing coni-
fortablc, every thing that can promote the
most dignified enjoyiiiciit ofa rational being.
Look around you--_voa have the most favor-
able opportuniiy to enjoy lilaci't_v, to gain in-
formation and happiness. The means of sup-
port are ample, and many luxuries are with-
in your reach. You have a uiost favorable
location—Thc soil is siifficicntly fcrtilc-——You
are near market—You cairwitli great ease ex-
change all your surplus prodiicc'into money.

It is not to be concealed that there. is too
much neglect of domestic maniifactorics and
of good gardening. It is true economy and
independence to make as many ofthe fabrics
you use, as possible. This is the peculiar
province ofthe women, to which tlicy will do
honor, if you will eiicouriige them. It re-
qiiircs no' law of Congress to aid household
indiistry. You can make g,ioiI.r own laws by
your own_/ire sirles,anil your wives and daugh-
ters will iliscnss all the questions connected
with the subject, with good sense, and with a
t'n'e2a'ty worthy of iniitatioii. Solomon has
given us a description of a woman, tliatagri
cultural societies would do well to honor.——

ofit on this occasion. “The lieart of her

ty vain, but a woman that fcareth the Lord
she shall be praised.”

There is nothing more conducive to the
lieiilth and comfort ofa family, than a good
garden well stocked with fruit and vegetables.
Unliappily, many respectable farmers have

motion, as of too little importance to ‘occupy
their care or e_mploy.their labor. They have
undo,ubted_lyhiistakeii the _true economy as
well as the t,riie_enjoyment. .

With little pains or expense every, farm
house might" be S_l.lt_'l'0l]ll(ieLl with cherries,
peaches, pears, plumbs and grapes in all their
varieties and perfection. The whole season
might be-filled witlithe best fruit, and health
wbtild be promoted and established by its free
use and ,the appetite innocently gratified..——
Besides, if fruit iv-as more abundant‘, the use
of ardent spirit‘s, which are worse to a farm
than the ‘ '_iiiildew’ and the ‘ east wind,’ would
be lessened, the fashionable dyspepsia would
be ‘confined to the cities, and the curse of iii-
temperance would be driven from the land.——-
No crop would be more profitable, for twili-
ing is so eagerly purchased, at a price far a-
bove its intrinsic value as fri_iit. Tliis subject
is worthy the attention ofthe young fariner.—-
Ifyon begin to plant fruit trees in carly life,
you may soon enjoy their benefit. You may
‘shelter your old age under their branches,and
behold your children reaping the comfort of
your providence and care.

The attention to horticulture is important to
health, convenience and comfort. The sub-
ject is too extensive for minute discussion,
and wemeiition it rather to excite attention,
than to give advice—but if every farmer would
do justice to his garden, be careful in the se-
lection of his seeds, and raise all the varieties
which the climate would produce, his table
might be the envy ofan epiciirc,though it con-
tained nothing that was not gathered by his
own hand. His granar_2/, celta.r,orchard, and
garde1i.would'siipply a daily feast which no
foreign market could rival. The tropics can-
not yield either fruit, or vegetables, that, will,
upon the whole, compare with ours. I have
sometimes thought ifwe we're more anxious
to imitate the g'arden ofEden, we might en-
joy more ofits innocence.

It is not unworthy ofa farmer to pay some
attention to the cultivation of flowers. Na-
ture has inatlethem ‘ beauty to the eye,’ paint-
ed and loaded them with fragrance for our
pleasure. From these the busy bee, ‘ patro-
ticss of industry,’ collects her richest sweets
and labors for your gratification and support.
Let not the farmer grudge a little spot to his
daiigliter, for their culture. A taste for them
springs from nature and is wise and grateful;
when it is properly regulated, it is generally
attended with thrifty neatness, almost allied
to virtue, and when attended with such a
knowledge of botany as may easily be obtain-
ed, it is highly beneficial to rural econoiiiy.——
A noscgay is the appropriate ornament of the
female ofthe farm, and is much iuore becom-
ing than lace analjcwels. The rose tree may
well supplant the idle thorn, and aromatic
plants displace the unsightly weed. No man
is poorer for an ornamented court yard.—
Simple beauties have a tendency to refine,and
absolutely contribute to thrift and enjoyment.
Human happiness depends upon little things,
so far as outward circumstances are concern-
ed. It is wise and diitifulto diminish all we
can of evil, and increase all we can ofgood.——
The more we cultivate of innocent taste the
more we may enjoy--—

For nota beauty blows
And notan opening blossom breathes in vain.

The cultivator, then, if he be frugal, indus-
trious, and contented, enjoys all that the boun-
ty of Providence has to bestow upon his more
animal nature, but this is the smallest portion
of his blessings. His situation is peculiarly
favorable for pati'iotism—He may enjoy in its
greatest perfection trite liberty-—I-Ie is its car-
liest advocate and its latest defen(ler—IIe is
not exposed to the licentious corrupt ambi-
tion which leads some to betray.——VVheu the
cultivator ofthe soil is not the best friend to
freedoin, its temple and its altar will perish
in the land." Your situation is not only fa-
vorable for domestic, social, and public happi-
ness, but for the cultivation of morality, and
the attainment of intellectual riches. Upon
iliis subject you ought to feel your importance,
and be diligent in discharging your duties.
You can neglect nothing with so much dan-
ger as the education of your cliildren—\vith-
out attention to their instructioii, their niiuds
will resemble the field of the sluggaril, they
will be filled with weeds. That inspiration
of the Almighty which gave to man tinder-
siandiug, has made the mind capable of the
highest atainmcnt. It is like a rich soil, it
will producein luxuriant abiindauce, and if
the good seed is not sown and carefully nur-
tured,it will be full ofnoxioiis weeds. In iliis
age, information, thatis both exact and ex-
tensive, is necessary to the successful prose-
ciiiiou of agriculture. It is cruel to retain
your sons at home, and to exact from them
severe labour during their minority, and then
dismiss them to a new wilderness to seek their
support, ignorant and unfurnished. There
are many portions ofthe year when they en-
joy leisure to gain knowledge ; the long win-
ter evenings may be devoted to the purstiits
orsctem-.e, If you have accomplished teach-
8:5 and good social libraries,which every town
ought to possess--well selected books will em.
ploy their time to the greatest advantage and
fi.l it with much higher pleasures than the ri-
ot and disipation which are too often substi-
tuted for them. It is a false opinion that
science is only important to professional pur-
suits; it has a direct application to all you do,
and domestic economy might be greatly pm-
inoted by its cultivation. Besides, the pur-
suits of knowledge, ifit were general among
our rural friends, would produce many useful
associations, would promote good neighbour-
hood and refine and exalt society.

If you connect with the advance of true
learning, The Kiiowledge of God and the hope
and practice of pttre and undefiled Religion
you will complete the stun ofyour duties and
enjoymentsin this state of trial and discipline.
Your situation is peculiarly favorable for the
cultivation of piety. You are not exposed to
the temptations '\vlllCll often seduce and des-
troy others. You above all men, are called
to behold the wisdom and faitlifulness ofGod.
Seed-time and harvest continually recur, and
the dew and the sunshine, the early and the
latter rain are forever given. In every plant
you see an exhibition of Almighty power.-
The wood—tlie field—the loadedltrees-—the
ripened harvest: all proclaim the goodness of
him who openeth his hand and satisfies the
ivants ofevery living thing.

. My friends, let us remember that the pur-
suits that now interest and occupy us will soon
terminate. We are haste_ning to a state of
immortal existence. Are we prepared for it?
When the Angels are sent to gather the great

or the wheat? Let us be wise and improve

'1‘P.,UE CHARACTER or A PIRATE.

“Thou art my sou—iny only son,
‘tvhoin Ihave loved with all the doating fond-
ness of a tender fathc_r—--wboni, next to my
iuaker, I have idolized the most——wlioinI
have clierislietl in my “ heart’ of lie.arts”--—to
whom I have never breathed a syllable of
liarshness. Ah, William, behold me here——-
here on this vessel's deck, and in the presence
ofthe great IAM, whose all searching eye
reads the secret of our bosoms-—bere,on my
knees, in humble siipplication, Ibcnd, and
wring my hands to thee.-—I beg'—-I implore
thee, forsake not heaven——-thy coitntry——tliy
mother, and thy kindred. Return to the ho-
som of those who love thee, and let me not
descend in sorrow to the grave. By lli§‘5€‘
whitened locks, bleached by the frosts of a-
gas, but not stained with dislionor——by the-fie
‘withered hands, which are now clasped in
prayer to the'c—-—by these scolding tears which
flow from a breaking heart-——I conjure 3193»,
abandon this unliallcwed life, this pursuit of
horror, this in urrlering cause,” said a fond fa-
ther to his son, who stood before him, liar-.
dened with ‘crime, the captain of acrew of
pirates. _

“Arise, old man; although I loathe the
human race, and have registeretl in paradise
an oath of vengc'_an'ce on them, still thou art
not so hateful to my sight. Yet, thou artti
man, a christian, and I abhor, I despise them
all. Get thee gone: hor country, friends,
northou, can move, me from my purpose. I
am’fixed, and the heart of iron is not more
firm. Ialn the property of those desperate
men. I am theirs, irrevocably theirs-—and
nothing earthly shall sever us. Arise, and
hence, old man, nor dare again to cross me
in my course.” _

The father viewed his offspring for :1 m_0-
ment ; he did not speak ; but, choaked with
various passions, he sunk upon the deck".

The sky was black ; the seamen werc ini-
bending the canvass to the breeze, and the
vessel was getting uniler weigh, when the old
man recovered his senses; he saw the pre-
paration, and well he knew the dcteriniiicd
soul of his most unnatural, most degr:-tiled
child. Tears, though they were blood, could
never move him ;—-prayers, though they
came from a parent’s broken heart, he scum-
ed and disregarrled.

The father sprang upon his feet. _

“ William,” said he, “ although thoti art my
son, thou art a villain l”

VVilliam drew his stiletto like lightning
from its scabbard—the criinsou forsook his
face—liis lips quivered; his blood curdletl,
and revenge flashed from either eye.

“ Villain l——and to my teeth 1 ‘nave at
thy heart then, thou hoary headed wrctch !”
he said, springing on his father, he grappled
him by the throat, and buried the steel deep
in his parent’s bosom l The old man raised
his eyes to lieaven———thc word, forgiveness,
died upon his lips—-his soul winged its flight
to God. _

“ Huzza ! bravo l noble, noble captain l”
shouted the crew, as IVilliam threw the body
of his parent over the side ofthe ship!

The sails were unfurled-, the anchor weigh-
ed, and the vessel shaped her course for sea.

 

From the Conncctz'cut Heralrl.

THE BANK IVA ri.—Thc New-York Banks
having engaged with the Country Banks in
‘the unprofitable contest oftrying which can
do the other the most harm,’ hostilities in our
quarter, we are informed, commenced by a
draft on them, from the Eagle Bank of this
city, for 40,000 dollars, which was duly bon-
orerl, and the specie shipped, transported, and
safely deposited in the Eagle vaults. Buttbe
money was scarcely stowed away, when the
New-York Agent, a very modest, sleek, Qua-
ker-looliing gentleman, appeared with 75,000
dollars in Eagle Bills, (ieterinined to return
the first blow with interest. He was offered
the specie or a draft on New-York, at his elec-
tion. He took the 40.000 dollars back again,
and the expense offreight being considered,
he very wisely took a draft for the balaiice.——
Now comes the Eagle’s turn a;_:ain—and they
have deposited in the Bank of New-‘furl’. one
liumlretl tliotisarzrl dollars, for which their A-
gent there is instriictcd to deiiialiiil the specie.
Thus ‘ the combat thickens.’ But ‘it is an ill
wind that bloivs nobody good.’-—However un-
profitable the contest iiia_v be to the Btiiiks,
our packet owners are likely to thrive by it:——
Twcnty dollars for bringing the $10,000 up,
and twenty dollars for carrying it back again,
is forty dollars-—So we shall be sure to have
some money in circulation as long as they
carry on the war.

\Ve rather guess the New-Yorkers will fi-
nally be Yanlcee-doodlecl. When their Banks
stopped paynient——-when the two Banks in this
city possessed over five hundred thousand dol-
lars oftbeir funds——\vhen one hundred dollars
in New-Haven would purchase one hundred
and twenty dollars in New-York Bills, we
heard nothing from them about the ‘incon-
venience and embarrassinent arising from the
depreciated and fluctuating value of the cir-
culating mcdium’——and it does not become
them now to tell us it is their‘ pccziliarpro-
vince to maintain the specie value ofthe cur-
rency’—nor to refuse tli.eir own Bills when
they present ours for payment. The Batik
Bills of Connecticut, payable in specie, have
always been faithfully redeemed, and have
never siifl'ered any depreciation but ivhat has
arisen from distance, and the consequent dif-
liculty of exchange. This is as iuucli as can
be effected. If the New-York Banks could
say as much, it would beto their credit: But
they cannot. And while they attempt to reg-
ulate what, froin the nature of circumstances,
they cannot controiil, we say, Let them keep
at home, and ‘manage their own affairs in
their own way ;’ and not attempt to embar-
rass iis by ‘ too much regulation,’ lest we
should deprive their merchants and brokers
of the aid of our funds, and the‘ universal
Yankee nation’ should turn the current of
trade to their own ‘ emporium.’

[Since the above was in type, the packet
Augusta has arrived from New-York with the
100,000 dollars.]

A new Chapel for Yale College is to be e-
recied next summer between the two northern
Colleges;-the present one being entirely too
small to accommodate the iiicreascd number

ofstudeits.

Niles‘ ‘Weekly ‘Regist.er.

THIS work was ‘commenced at Baltimore,

in Sept. $811, and is'still-ptiblislied there,
at 5 dollars per annuin, payable in advance,
Of the character of the Register, which has
been so long before the public, it is superflu-
to spealit It was designed, atonce, in be a
l"i'.lIlll‘|ll representative of political facts, and a.
wat‘c-hfiil guardian of the rights ofthe people,
without prejudice or partiality as to persons.
How far it has succeeded, is not for the editor
to determine. Hehas only to say, that it shall
cimtintie_to be published on its original prin-
ciples, with fearless perseverance ; and that it
never shall be made subservient to the individ-
ual prcferment or personal abuse of any man.

The ensuing session of Congress will be
one of more than ordinary interest. I It is ex.
pected that some private business of the edit-
Ol‘,.l.()I_2lll_Y unconnected with public men 0,-
political measures, will render it necessary for
llllfl. to be much at Washington, during the
session, and he will, thereby, be enabled to
present his readers with a nearer view of what
shall be transacted, than has heretofore been
given in this work, that the people riiay the
better know what their servants are doing or
leaving undone. In repr'e‘sentin_g facts, no
consultation will beheld with fear or bargain,
made with expediency. ,

The subscription to the Regislcris one of
the largest in the United States: but there is
ample room for additions to it: and the edit-
or respectfully requests his friends to increase‘

paper is furnished.
F A5t_he current volume commenced on the
4ll‘Sl or September, ultimo, it is best that new
subscribers should begin atthat time, and the
back numbers will be furnislied,-that they may
have a perfect work so long as they continue.
Complete sets, in "24 vols. may be bad. . In-
cluding the General Index, and all the extra
snpplczncnts, the price is seventy dollars, in‘
slioets, folded, and collected in volumes.

The safety of the mails, when money is
enclosed in letters to the editor, guaranteed.‘
