1 XALQZS'S ttt&T IQVS,
Human nature bas no essence more
pure the world knows nothing more
chaste heaven has endowed the mortal
heart with no feeling more holy, than
the nascent affection of a young virgin s
soul, ine warmest language ot tne
sunny South is too cold to shadow forth
even a faint outline of that enthusias
tic sentiment. 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-

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

-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

A CAL? BTOLY:
Olt, PATRICIAN VS. PLEEIAN ELOOD.
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.-
