I From the Maine Farmer.) 

 [CTThe following piece, composed for the occasion, 

 were sung al the Meeting House in Wintlirop, on tlie 

 second day of the Kennebec County Agricultural Soci- 

 ety's Cattle Show and Fair. 



ORIGINAL HYMN. 

 In smiling F'.den's peaceful bovvers, 

 'Mid streams, and plants, and varied flowers, 

 Where guileless Kvu and Adam Uneit, 

 A Heaven-instructed farmer dwelt. 



God gave him skill,— He taught the art 

 Of husbandry ;— man's rebel heart 

 Not then, as now, inventions sought. 

 To hasten time, and banish tliought. 



Veterans in honorable care ! 

 Though hard your toil, and though ye wear 

 A plainer garb than fashion's sons, — 

 Your calling God ordained, and owns. 



Myriads there are, «ho live on icrong ; — 

 On unrequited toil;— the strong 

 Oppress the weak ;— i/c turn the sod 

 Yourselves,— and fear no power but God. 



O happy husbandmen ! Survey 



Tour f^oodly herit.'ige ; — to day 



Give thanks, — viith Autumn's fruits around, 



Jehovah's name with praise be crowned. 



Ye see his wonders, that adorn 

 Each varying season, night and mom ; 

 Adore His power ! Extol His grace 

 In Christ ! and humbly seek His face. 



he inflexilile. Ever be willinar, however, to hear 

 sii!,'gestioiis from those who aie entitled to defer- 

 ence and ostcerii, and who <lo not coincide with 

 yon ill feelings, lint never sacrifice yonr own 

 opinions an(i practices in aroonimodatioji to theirs, 

 without fidl conviction that they are right. 



Perseverance. — By this is meant continned 

 steadfastness or persistence in purpose and pur- 

 suit. It is the opposite of fickleness or inconstan- 

 cy in endeavor, and yet it is not higotry nor obsti- 

 nacy. A person possessed of this trait of charac- 

 ter, is generally successful in what he attempts. 

 True is the motto, Perseverando vinces. Without 

 perseverance, the most desirable object to be ob- 

 tained may fail, even after much exertion has been 

 used to effect it. They who would win the prize 

 tmist run, and never cease running till the race is 

 over. In every pursuit, then, to which duty calls, 

 notwithstanding the obstacles which may arise to 

 hinder your progress, persevere even to its full 

 accomplishment. You are now not aware what 

 you will be able to peiforai. Try — remembering 

 that whatever has been done, may be done again ; 

 keep on trying, and success is almost certain. 



Or Coggswell's Letters to Students. 



citizens of Boston to doubt their willingness to 

 provide some quiet, commodious building as soon 

 as the business of this charity demands it, which 

 cannot be long, meeting as it does the entire ap- 

 probation of every friend of suffering humanity. 

 Medical and Surgical Journal. 



Courage. — A proper definition of courage, is 

 bravery, intn-pidity. It is the opiiosite of pusil- 

 lanimity or timidity. A man of this spirit never 

 says, "There is a lion without — I shall be slain 

 in the streets." Possessed of religious herois ti, 

 he is ready to strive with the world, the flesh and 

 llie devil. He who would conquer, must man- 

 fully contend ; and he is the greatest hero who 

 conquers himself. This trait of character, both 

 in a natural and moral sense, should be diligentty 

 sought and cultivated. It is in no way so well 

 obtained as by the promotion of piety in ourselves. 

 "The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the 

 righteous are bold as a lion." Courage, though 

 not so frequently called into requisition as some 

 other qualities of the mind, is nevertheless of es- 

 sential service. 



Independence. — This means e.\emption from 

 reliance on any one, •r control by any one. When 

 [iroperly cherished and exercised it partakes of 

 magnanimity in thought, feeling, and action. A 

 pride of singularity in this, or an ostentatious dis- 

 play of it, is not commendable. Would you i;os- 

 sess true independence of character, think and act 

 for yourseUcs — never reject or adojit oj)inions or 

 practices merely because others have rejected or 

 adopteii ihem. It has been said, ' No man was 

 ever great by imitation.' 'i'hercfore, take no opin- 

 ion, pursue no course of conduct, on trust; be 

 biased neither by passion iu)r prcjiidice in faith or 

 practice, but believe anil act on substantial evi- 

 dence and sound principles, ami in such a coui'se

INFIRMARY FOR DISEASES OF THE 

 LUNGS. 



From a small, unostentatiotis beginning, there 

 has been a very valuable institution forming in 

 this city, which is perfectly charitable in its char- 

 acter, ar.d therefore claims the attention and 

 fostering influences <d" all benevolent people. It 

 is an infirinary exclusively devoted to the poor 

 who are suffering with diseases of the lungs. 



By considting the bills of mortality, it is appar- 

 ent that pulmonary coi\siimption has swept mul- 

 tituiles to the grave. The causes producing this 

 melanclioly fatality are still orrerating, as they al- 

 ways will in this variable clitiiate. As the popu- 

 lation increases, the tnortality arising from various 

 affections of the respiratory organs increases in a 

 corresponding ratio, till the aggregate, in any giv- 

 en year, in the large towns and cities of New Eng- 

 land, and particulariy in Boston, jireponderates 

 over all others in the nomenclature. Believing 

 that it was possible to offer some temporary, if 

 not permanent relief to those whose circumstances 

 forbid them, in all instances, that aiivico which 

 their condition obviously requires, tin association 

 was formed expressly to meet this demand. — To 

 this infirmary every one is welcome. The con- 

 dition of the lungs is ascertained so far as it has 

 been found practicable by modern improvement 

 and discoveries. Medicines are dispensed gratu- 

 itously, and, ill a word, nothing is omitted which 

 c.iin be of utility to the patient. A charity based 

 on this broad foundation, we trust will find favor 

 with an intelligent community. Gentlemen of 

 the city, the clergy, physicians— indeed all who 

 sympathize with this class of sufferers — are invit- 

 ed to direct theiH to the infirmary, with fidl con- 

 fidence in the skill and assiduity of the medical 

 gentlemen who made a volimtary service of their 

 labors. 



For the prcsei.t the patients are exatnined and 

 ineseribed for in the <;.nst wing of the old stone 

 Court House, ou the first floor, entrance from 

 School street, on Mondays, VVednesilays and Fri- 

 ilays, from 12 to 1 o'clock. A snitat)le edifice 

 will be selected, "e trust within a reasonable 

 tiiifc, in which the infirmary will be iiermanently 

 located. It would be an act of injustice to the
