JIow many respond lo this tcndcr and patriotic scntiment It is lieard, not only i'rom the parlor, in the soft soprano of the fashionable belle frora the street at mid. iiight, in thc lover's harmonious sercnade to hismistress; upon thestage, and atthe j ublic lialls, where. music liolds her devo tees in rapt enchantmpnt: but the merry cow-hoy nnd the ruddy milkmaid have caii.rbt thc wilchinrr note the market". mnn in his ioiirnnv intr to the citv. hums j j j .-i j it along nt morning twilight and the busy nusuannman, as ne turns tne ricn, yieia ing mould, whistlcs it to the slow move ment oi his three-cattle team. uut there is a strange inconsistency, ader all, and practicc is too much onnosed to orincinle.

This love of Vwme must be affected all.

He says to himself, "no plough ing, no manuring, no hoeing, no digging is there; but, in order to grow ricn, you have only to will it, and it is done Uon ors. too. there crown the wish of everj asnirant 1" This thought at once electri- fips Iiim He starts up in the midst of his revery and resolves no longer to delve and totug likc a fill-hor.e, upon theold, thread-bare domain of his ancestors. So hc hastens to his father, and calls for the "nortion of noods tlrat lalleth to him, that he may depart for a different home, and different fortune, declaring himself to bc tirtd with nerpetual laboring, while oth crs trr.nv rich with little exertion. No parciital tears, no exposlulations can a?ail against his incliuation but go he must, and go he does. Thus "sweet home," with its three hundred acres, which might stiffice for three good farms, is contenip tuously deserted by this foohsh and incon sidcrate young man. Wcstward he turns his courbe, but, untortunatcly, wnen too latc, discovers that, evcn where the land is said to "flow with niilk and honey," and wealth lo crown cvet) exertion, the wheat-fields will not jield their increase. wiihout cultivation nnne can prnsper without industry and steady application to business; and that, be where we may, bodily employmenl is necessary to health and peace of mind. There are sundry causcs for tlic above besetlinc evil, and they are signally prev- aleut at the present day. One is an ea- gerness to bccome rich at cnce,' without the usual wholesome and proper means. Anothcr is a cnntcinpt of manual Iabor. The Ialter discovers itself more or less a- mong all classes of people, but afTects inost injuriously thc farmer. The honest and industrious husbandman who has, by means of economv and attention to his nuii afT.iirs, arrivcd to that iudcpciidencc, so cliaractcristic generally of New Eng land yeomanry viz., a plenty to livc on, and somcthing laid up lor caualty and misfortune, has a half ilozen of stout, lus ty sons. He brings ihem up in the "way thcy should go," giving them such educa tion, as the common town school afTords, which is compctcnl for all the purposes and business of common life, short of profpssional concerns. But, as soon as they arrivc to the age of uscfulncss, and are capable of j'ldging and taking somc lead in the management of the farm, by some Iuckless incident orothcr (it maybe a visit from a city cousin from bp.bind the counler of a soda-shop, or thc rclurn ol a tnurist from the Itocky Mounlains.) their heads are, all on a suddcn turncd their minds, hilherto peaceful and happj are fillcd with a thousand"vagaries aslrange and inconsistent notion possesses them viz., thatit is dishonorable lo bc seen at work. laboriii" with the hands, espccially the labor necessary to Apriculture or Hor- ticulture and this, forsooth, because of the dirt. For the hands to besuilcd with dirt, or to be toughened by the use of larming implements is disgracetul, lovr and unbecoming any one but hirelings and drudges. Thus7this new doctrinc is received and foolishly credited. Thc con seouence is disappointmentand distress to the parent, and ruin to his once brjht,in dustrions and haonv ofTprinff. In their search for living without bodily labor thcy ftud it too true that "all js not goio that "littcrs they lose their early and valua blc habiis. and contract others which pre alike delrimental lo their morals and their health. The farm which, under proper management, might have supported tl em all. has been ncccssarily neglccted, and run down thi-tles, thorns, and brambles encompass it, and its income is scarcciy suflicicnl for the support of its aocd occu- panls, the disheartened and solitary father and inother. Such is the eflect of false pride, and the silly nolton that manual Ia bor is dissraceful. An eager desire to gain a fortune sud denly, by one single swoop, is another source of evil. Success may sornetitnes atiend such speculators, but generally the riches so gained are apt to "lake wings and liy away," as hastily as they were od tained. U'hen thispassion seizes a young farmer, and a ihousand isnes fatui arc dancing around him, too often he is deaf to every warning voice, and nothing save fatal exptricnce will bring him to reason. Supposc that he has settled down upon a rich alluvion in the western country, and by reason of his industry is in a thriving condition, abounding with plenty, &c. how might it have been, had he resistet' this love of change, and tarried upon the parental lot? ll is well unrierstood now that the good management of a few acres, even a gardenspot, is betterthan thepoor husbandry of a larse farm. The love of being thought a great landholder without improvementis altogetheridle. Has any- thing been gained by removal 1 Unques tionabiy not. He is worth no more, en joys no more, nnd is no more respected, than he might have been at his former home. WpcTnniTt.

"Ohl many a wintcr night I'tc wept And smiled, to hear them tell, With quiTering lip and tipward glancc, Thc lcgend of thc bcll." On the borders of a dreary wood, in llie northern part of Germany, stauds a liule way- sidechapel; the Dell is only lojica wncti a funeralgoes past. The tolling of u bell is alwnys a melancholyi-aound; but ihis, al thou'gh louu, and capable of being heard at a great distance, has a peculiar, sad and 6ol enm cadence, aa if il knew it was never, in fuiure.to speak of anything but deaih. In a Bmall nnd pleasant cottage notfar from the chapcl, there lived, -at the time nf which we write, a ynung man, caiieti t'aui Vanderpant.

The present proprietor, however, was not one to care for talcs or leuends he had no belicf in epirits, and he used to laugh atsuch supcrsiilions in a way llntt made the old gos sips ol thc jilacc shudder and shakc llieir heads at its temerity. IfPaul Vandcrpant had oflalebcgun !o enlcrtain serious thought that it is not good for man lo bc alonc, il was assuredly bome oiher Eeniiment than fear which eiigcndered ihenor he would not havc made choire of Gcrtrude Hotlman for a compatiion :unlcsf,in(iced, be thought, wilh ourselres, that iliere is uojurerchaini against the power of the evil one, than love lor one nnolhcr. and trust in God. rf-t 1 1. .11. .1 !U ucnruuc was inc eiuei ciiiiu oi a poor widow, who occupiedan ailjointng coltage.

Accordingly,one fine morning, Gerlrude stnried for S ,nccoinpanied by Lily, who, as their inother appeared unusually well, and Eric pron-ised not lo lenve" her, askcd per misiioii lo go wilh her sister; for ihere was nothing ihal Lily enjoyed more than gomp lo S which, small as the towu was, scemcd to her likc annlhcr world. Paul Vandcrpant prophesied ihal there would he a heavy fall of snoiv befnre night but it certainly did not !ouk likc it then. li was ngreed, however, Ihat in caschcshould be right, the sisters were lo sleep at ihc house ol a distant relative ulio resided i ihc l!ie town, and Paul was lo come over Ihe nent morning and felch them home. Hc would have been glad lo have nccompanicd ihem, could he havufound lime; bnt, if ihe truth must bc told, evcn Gerlrude was not sorry ihat he did not; for the had, ae we have said, several liltle purdiascs to makc and mcn are sadlyiu Ihe way on such on ocraeion. l.ily laughed Iicarlily asshc stood warmly equippca for their long walk, nnd with the early sunlight gliliering upon her brighl golden hair.
