So, our great ancestor becime 



A Farmer of the soil. 

 And millions of his children too 



Are sharers in the toil. 

 We clear and beautify the fields ; 



We drain the miry slou«h ; 

 We wield the sickle and the flail. 



And guide the sturdy Plough. 



Of all the stations here on rarin, 



The Farmer ranks the first. 

 Though some may rerkon hiin debased 



For toiling in the dust. 

 'Tis Nature's calling he [lursues. 



As, with a sweaty brow, 

 He turns the sod all upside-down. 



And guides the sturdy Plough. 



When Spring in all its merriment 



O'erspreads (he fields with green, 

 And nought, save notes of joy, is hoard. 



And nought but smiles are seen. 

 The Farmer turns his tillage lands, — 



Anil who's so happy now, 

 Ab while he whistles to his learn, 



And guides the shining Plough. 



Domestic joy full well he knows, 



And, it may hup, a care ; 

 For none nnisl think to be exempt 



From common lot and share. 

 His wife, she deems it her concern 



To milk the bonny cow, 

 And cheer her ruddy husband, as 



He guides the stjrdy Plough. 



For love of weali h some gel ensnared 



In speculation's toils, 

 And others, when disasters come, 



Are scramlilin;; fur the spoils ; 

 Still does the prudent Faiuier pay 



To industry his vow, 

 Nor heeds the struggle nor the strife; 



But steady guides the Plough. 



Good rule and order he maintains; 



He lives in peace witli all; 

 And, to defend Ills country s rights, 



He's ready fiir the call. 

 Now, to be ever thus content, 



Say, wights, wouhl ye know how.' 

 'Tis but to mind your own affairs, 



And steady guide the Plough. 



Debtor and Creditor. — IVoiii an article in 

 the Harrisl)iii!;li Ititelligefuer, suliscribed nit old 

 merchcmt, we tiiako the fullowing o.Mrart, n-liicli 

 is uortliy oftlie attention (if every one: 



" Honest (lel).s arc sacred, and ought to lie so 

 held, is the |naxiin of the law, tiie inaxini of ev- 

 ery honest heart, and every honest, upright man 

 will pay his debts, and manage iii.s means for the 

 best advantage to fulfil his engagements. Under 

 present circumstances, it is plain that many can- 

 not promiilly pay their debts ; time, much time, 

 must be given ; patience and forbearance exer- 

 cised. Let creditors act wisely and prudently ; 

 not oppress, but take pay ns fast as tlieir debtors 

 can prudently give it — in large or smtill sums. — 

 l,ct them not act the part of Sliylock, — demand 

 immediate piyinent, or a poiitid of their flesh ; 

 but rather cheer and encourage the honest and 

 persevering creditor, who, like Lawrence, Itas re- 

 solved never to give lip the ship. Thus, liy being 

 "kindly afiectionate one to another," mutual con- 

 fidence and indulgence, great good can he done, 

 and many <lel>tors lieable to pay every dollar, and 

 save some properly for their families, who, if now 

 pushe.l, would be unable to pay one half or one 

 fourth of what they owe. it is better for credi- 

 tors to be pati'-nt, than by vainly attempting to 

 secure iir.iiiediate payments, destroy the very 

 means by which their future accomiilishnient 

 would be certain. We have before seen siicli 

 times, and have known much good to result to 

 the siifi'eriiig classes, by persons who pursued the 

 humane, wi.se, jirudent course, and kindly indul- 

 ged and aided the honest debtors, and misery and 

 ruin by the opposite course, and that often times 

 bolh [larties, Cor, in the wise administration of a 

 kind and just Proviilence, the unfeeling creditor 

 is, by a change of circumstances, :nade to feel all 

 the sorrows, woes and distresses his own heart- 

 less conduct has brought on others ; he who shows 

 no mercy to othens, cannot e.tpect others to show 

 it to him. 



We say then to all, persevere, and do all that 

 honest men can to pay your debts. Gather ull 

 your means, and pay off to all as fast as you can ; 

 aid one another; let the kind feelings of your na- 

 ture he brought into requisition ; let all pursue an 

 honest and honorable coin"se. Great and perse- 

 vering eli'orts lead to great results ; we have seen 

 the honest, iiulustrious and enter|)rising, brought 

 to the lowest stagcb of hitman wo, but they re- 

 solved to persevere, and in most cases, have over- 

 come tlieir misfortunes, itiaiiy who were once 

 in ' poverty's vale,' are now enjoying the choicest 

 blessing earth can afl'ord — that of having nobly 

 persevered — paid their debts, surmounted every 

 obstacle ; and many crowned with wealth and 

 honor, and a frood name^ which is better than rich- 

 es. Go thou and do likewise."
