And God has made the richest language poor in that"same re spect, because the depths of hearts that thrill with love's emotions are too sacred for contemplation. The musical voice of love stirs the source . of the sweetest thought within the human breast, and steals into the most profound recesses of the soul, touching chords which never vibrated before, and call ing into" genial companionship delici ous hopes till then unknown. Yes, the light of a young maiden's love breaks dimly but beautifully upon her as the silver lustre of a star gam mers through a thickly woven bower; and the first blush that mantles her cheek, as she feels the primal influence, is faint and pure as that which a rose leaf might cast upon marble. ,But how rapidly docs that grow stronger, and that flush: deeper-until the ; powerful effulgence of the one irradiates every corner of; her j heart, and the crimson glow of. the other suffuses every feature of ner countenance. :' Eo.TjAi.rn or happhtess as d kisest. It is an old aphorism, that human happiness is equally divided. " The truth of this universal law. of compensations was forcibly illustrated to ns, a day or two since, by the complaints of a gen tlcmanwho seemed to be blessed with "every joy the world can give."' Young, rich, handsome, and married to a lovely amiable: and accomplished woman- surrounded- by affectionate relatives an-?-devoted - friends we .liavd ofteh n him as a mtin in the. fall of iill t'.- -. i'tades But ph 11 .HAT! 7 f n r f 9 ts dlntrusti; appearances An insidiou and pain lui disease make? our envied mend a miserable man, and physical suffering eclipses all his sunshine. And thus; it is in all the ranks and conditions of life. : In the simple language of good old Dr. Watts : , . Each pleasure has its poison, too, . ; And every sweet a snare." . A poor man has health, a good ap petite, and sleeps soundly at night. The rich man has lis cares, his thead aches and his heart aches; and if the sum of human enjoyment could be exactly measured by some sort of moral thermometer, we should Jind that real happinesses pretty equally distributed and that there is little cause for any man to-repine at his own dot, or envy a - "f 1 a V that ,'bf his . neighbbr.'--iTew ,JTork The harder a man works the less he gets, i Whilo: the poor devils who dig our canals get five shillings a day, the ruffled shirt that oversees them gets fivo dollars.

IN VliN TICKS THE EE ATJTH0SSHIP "HOOE 10 7E0U HCXCE SEL0SSS." -Many readers, on glancing at this heading may thinks with themselves as tollows: '"It is ot small consequence to one who has the honor or profit of inventions. .1 pay largely enough for the privilege of using- them, and I am cheated often enough by humbugs, whoever has brought them out. Whether the real inventor enjoys the benefit of his genius, or some rascal more adroit than he, has filched from him the lau rels, and the gold which belong to him, my liabilities and my advantages are the same. If my Reaper works well, I need not trouble myself with the question, whether McOormick's is an original invention, or only an imita tion of the machine invented a long time ago, by Rev. Patrick Bell, in Scot land, and honored with a premium of 50, nearly thirty years ago. If my Reaper works i77, it will not help the matter, to know that several men are quarrelling about the ownership of the original idea, which has taxed me a round sum for nothing. I will try to judge of the implements themselves as well as I can and leave inventors, and the pirates, and the imitators, who are plundering them, to settle their difficulties as best they may." Such, we. say may be the thoughts of some of our intelligent readers. Now, wer are quite ready to admit, that these considerations have much force, v It cannot . be expected that every , farmer, .who. uses 3 patented im plement, should 4e minutely informed as to its history;7 This would be plainly impracticable. " Yet we cannot but think that the soliloquy we have just presented, involves some error. The truth; is,-'every-- farmer- is concerned more or less in. the proper bestowment of praise, and the proper distribution of pecuniary reward, for cuj vr V lie invention; or improver; -r-.t M ". r facilitates the processes fag:!:.

Our amateur farmer and stock fancier Joseph Wright, having strong faith irf Bovine lineage, took pains to send a fine cow of simple pedigree to the famed gray imported bull of S. Vr Chapman, at Clockville, Madison Co. He was afterwards assured by Mr. C. that if the calf should bo small and noft othcrwiso realize his first expectations, it would improve and "come oat right in the end.- . The eow was place d with Garret Loverigef a hrewd Yankeo farmer, three miles south of this vil lage. Among the many good things Mr. L. had learned from his Pennsyf' vania Ger&aiA'neighbors and engrafted on his farming, were also some of their egotistical prejudices against book farming, improved breeds of stock, swine, &c. Hence Mr. Loverigc verily believed that all was in the keeping of stock, and nothing in the breed; but a3 a true Yankee is never quite satisfied until he i3 certain he is right, he adopt ed the experiment of changing Wright's blood heifer calf at its birth, with cno of the same gender dropped only four days before by one of his Dutch cows well knowing that Mr. Wright would give hi3 ealf the Very best of keeping, while the blood calf would only have the ordinary keeping of his other farm1 stock. This experiment would at least test the fact whether a plebian calf, if extra well fed, would not grow into a better cow, than a blood calf with ordi nary keeping. tVhen Mr. Wright came to take home his cow and calf he told Lovcrige that he was rather disappointed in its big Dutch tail and other marks of scrub origin; . but as Mr. Chapman had told him that it would "coiao right"' at maturity, ho now took the bps-, of the cow, until railed her calf, nhCL" then tbV oTxng blood, as ho supposed it to be, was fed and pampered in order to bring out its good qualities - at maturity.- Bat hi care and fit Tn so eh gtbed a, Vrr re r LY.i'.k- llti .
