Make to thyself a name,
Not with the breath of clay, "
Which, like the broken hollow reed.
Doth hide itself away;
Not with the fame that vaunts " '
The tyrant on his throne,
And hurls its stigma on the soul
That God vouchsafes to own.
Make to thyself a name,
Not such as wealth can weave,
Whose warp is but a thread of gold
That dazzles to deceive;
Not with the tints of love
Form out its letters fair;
That scroll within thy hand shall fade,
Like him that placed it there.
Make to thytelf a name,
Not in the sculptured aisle;
The marble oft betrays its trust,
Like Egypt's lofty pile;
But ask of him who quell'd
Of death the victor strife,
To write it on the blood-bought page
Of everlasting life.

Important to Farmers. Jt JVew Plough.
We would invite the attention of farmers
and others interested in. the cultivation of
the soil, to a new and useful improvement
tn this impbrtant farming article, lately in
vented by a mechanic of this town. It is
calculated for the side hill, but it is construct
ed as to work on the level equal to the Iden
plough, and with as little trouble to the
ploughman, besides having the advantage of
being much lighter. As a corn plough, it is
considered infinitely better than any other,
as it will at pleasure turn the furrow both
ways. It can be seen at the furnace of
Messrs. Vail & Moors, at the Ithaca Falls.

AGRICULTURAL.
FROM THE NEW TORE SCX, 1S37.
We observe with astonishment and resret,
the conclusive evidence which appears in
every direction, thit the business of Agricul
ture does not receive the attention due to it
in this country, but is treated with absolute
neglect, compared with other pursuits.
This ought not to be, and the. inhabitants of
this country will yet learn, that they have
committed a gross error by abandoning the
cultivation of the soil for less independent
and more precarious modes otJtaining a iivii-
hood.
Who has ever heard of such a state of
things as now exists here? We have a soil
as fertile as any that the sun ever shone up
on, a country almost boundless in extent, and
so cheap, that any man mny purchase a farm
with the proceeds of a few months1 labor,
yet we are actually importing, for consump
tion, immense quantities of agricultural pro
ducts from foreign countries! A people,
thinly scattered over a land unequalled in
fertility, and exhaustless in its resources, are
buying their bread, at enormous prices, from
countries, so overburthened with inhabitants,
that political economists have feared that the
earth would fail to produce sufficient to sup
port them. Such an extraordinary and un
natural circumstance should excite attention,
and awaken the inquiry as to its cause.
The fault, as we have seen, is not in the
soil, nor is the country overrun with inhabi
tants. It is, therefore, evident, that the cul
tivation of the soil is neglected, otherwise
we should be exporting, instead of importing,
agricultural products, but it is easier to show
the fact, that agriculture is neglected, than
to find a sufficient reason for such neglect.
We apprehend, however, that it will be
found to spring, in a great measure, from
the same causes which have produced much
evil in this countrv, and the bitter fruits of
which we are now reaping. The first and
chief of these causes, i the inordinate thirst
for wealth which pervades every class of so
ciety, and induces men to abandon their leg
itimate business to nage in some wild, haz
ardous'speculation, in the hope of becoming
suddenly rich. It is also too often the case
that the firmer becomes tired of the moder
ate and gradual accumulation of property by
the products of his land, and leaves the cul
tivation of it, to entajre in the business of
commece or manufactures. He finds out
his eirrejiious mistiike when it is loo late.
The property he had accumulated is often
squandered and lost; in consequence of Ids
ignorance of new business, and he again
sighs for the cheeiftii and independent mode
of life which he has abandoned, when it is
out of his power to resume it. We have, in
our mind numberless instances of this kind,
were industrious and prosperous farmers
have been lured to their ruin, by being in
duced to lay aside the implements of hus
bandry, and engage in the universal scram
ble after sudden wealth.
There is another great, error prevalent
upon this subject, and that, is, the business
of agriculture is generally looked upon as
less respectable than that of commerce,
manufactures, or the professions; and weal
thy farmers, instead of teaching their sons
their own business, most usually transform
them into merchants, lawyers, doctors, or
dominees. This is all wrong. Agriculture
i3 the very back-bone of ail business, the
main-spring of all wealth, andshould be re
garded as a profession of the highest respec
tability. It gives those engaged in it a feel
ing of independence, genuine nobleness with-

KINDNESS IN CONVERSATION.
There is no other wav in which men can do
good to others, with so little expense and trou
ble, as by kindness m conversation.
"Words," it is sometimes said, "cost noth
ing." At any rate, kmd words cost no more
than those which are harsh and piercing. But
Kind words are often more highly valued than
the most costly gifts, and they are always re
garded among the best tokens of a desire to
make others happy. We should think that
kind words would be very common, they are
so cheap; but there are many who have a large
assortment of every other language, except
kindness.
They have bitter words, and witty words,
and learned words in abundance, but their
stock of kind words is small. The churl him
self, one might suppose, would not grudge a
little kindness in bis language, however close
ly he clings to his money; but there are per
sons who draw on their kindness with more
reluctance than on their purses.
Some use grating words because they are
of a morose disposition. Their language, as
well as their manners, show an unfeeling
heart. Others use rough words out of an af
fectation of frankness. They may be severe
in their remarks but then they claim that
they are open and independent, and will not
be trammelled. They are no flatterers, they
say, and this they think excuse enough for all
the cuttins speech which they employ. Others
wish to be thought witty, and they will, with
equal indifference, wound the feelings of friend
or foe, to show their smartness. Some are
envious, and cannot bear to speak kindly of
others or to them, because they do not wish to
add to their happiness. Others are so ill-bred,
that they seem to take delight in using unkind
words when their intentions are good, and
their feeling are warm. Their words are
rougher than their hearts they will make
sacrifices of ease and property to promote
comfort, while they will not deign to employ
the terms of courtesy and kindness. Of those,
the Scotch have an expressive proverb, that
"their bark is worse than their bite." Many
a man would be loved for his liberal deeds, if
his tongue, by his harshness, did not repel
affection. And he often wonders why hi3
friends seem to care so little for him, when
they are very grateful to others, from whom
they receive not half so many favors. Some
are caustic and severe in their language, for
ttto mko of shcvwiug their acuteness and dis
crimination. They would rend in pieces a
cloth of gold to detect a defective thread which
had escaped the less keen ob servation of oth
ers. 1 hey are always on the watch, to spy
out some fault in character, or in composition,
which others overlook, that they may appear to
have uncommon discernment and rare skill id
criticism.
If the happiness of others is not a sufficient
motive for kind words, we mav find a motive
in their influence on ourselves. The habit of
using them will at length conform our feelings-
to our language. We shall become
kind, not ouly in our speech, but in our man
ners and in our hearts. On the other hand,
to make use of carping, harsh, and bitter words
seldom fails to sour the disposition and to in
jure the temper.

"The time was, when the people of the
South were the largest importers in the coun
try. "In 1769, the value of the imports of die
several colonies was as follows:
Of Virginia, 851,1402. sterling.
New England States 561,000 do.
New York 189,000 . do
Pennsylvania 400,000 do
South Carolina 555,000 do.
"The exports were in about the same pro
portion; Virginia exporting nearly four times
as much as New York; and South Carolina
nearly twice as much as New York and Penn
sylvania together, and five times as much as -all
the New England States united.
"The same relative proportion of imports is
preserved until the adoption of the Federal
Constitution, when we find them to be in the
year 1791, as follows:
OfJNewYork $3,222,000
Virginia 2,486,000
South Carolina 1,520000
"There are no data to show the imports into
the several States from the year 1691 to 1S20,
but the genera fact may be assumed, that the
import trade of New York and other Northern
States, has been constantly progressing while
that of Virginia and South Carolina has as
regularly diminished. From 1821, to the

FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER.
If we take the article of cotton alone, and
enter into a calculation of the loss occasioned
to the planting interests of the South and West
by ah indirect trade, we will be astonished at
the result. The estimated crop of cotton for
the year endiug 30th September, 1S38, is
1,891,497 bales. This cotton is transported
by sea, either to the Northern posts, or direct
ly to Europe. Of this number, 1,165,155
balcs'o to England; 321,4SJ to France;
63,IC9 to the North of Euiope; and 25,895 to
other foreign ports; making a total of 1,574,
629 sent abroad. Deduct this number of
bales from the entire crop, and we find that
226,S28 bales are used at home, and returned
to us in domestic manufacture?. It is but
reasonable to estimate the freight paid upon
the number of bales shipped abroad at one
and a half cent per pound. If this be calcu
lated upon 1,574,629 bales, supposing each
hale to contain 340 pounds, which alone gives
535,373,S60 pounds it is shown that the pro
ducing States pay for freight alone, $S,030,
607 9J. Other charges, such as commis
sions, shipping, insurance, may be said to
amount to at least five per cent. Now the
amount of the crop xhipped valued at $33 per
bale, is 847,238,870,

Thus, the import trade of New York has
gradually increased from 189,000 sterling,
about $840,000, in the year 1769, and from
about three millions of dollars in 1791, to the
enormous sum, in 1S32, of fifty seven mil
lions of dollars! Vhile Virginia has falHen
off, in her import trade, from two and a .half
millions of dollars, in 1791, to $375,000 in
1829, and 550,000 dollars in 1832, not a great
deal more than the freight of half a dozen
ships!
"From these calculations, a few curious
facts appear. The imports of ' New York,
were in 1S32, seventy times as great as they
were in 1769, and nearly twenty times more
than they were iu 1791. Virginia, on the
other hand, imported, in 1829, about one
eleventh of what she did in 1769, and about
one seventh of what she did in 1791. In a
period tco of eight years, the aggregate im
ports of New York amounted to three hun
dred and eleven millions of dollars; those of
South Carolina to about sixteen millions, and
those of Virginia to about five millions! New .
York imported, therefore, in 1S32, eleven
times as much as Virginia did in eight years
preceding, and nearly four times as much aa
V irginia did in eight years preceding, and
nearly four times as much in the single year
of 1832, as South Carolina imported in a pe
riod of eight years. Agun, New lork im
ported in one year, (1S32) nearly fifty times
as much as Sbuih Carolina in the same year,
and abont 110 times as much as Virginia.
"In 1S35, the loug endured national debt
was extinguished, and having absoibed from
the treasury about four hundred and twenty
two millions cf dollars. The larger portion
of this sum was paid to the citizens of the U.
States; of whom, those residing north of the
Potomac, were to those residing South of it,
in the ratio of 165 to 11; and those in Massa
chusetts, New YoTk and Pennsylvania, to
those iu all the other States, is 150 to 176.
Whence, but from their commerce, did the
Northern States acquire the mean? of loaning
