CONTEMPT. 



BV N. P. WILLIS. 



/ hate unlearned contempt- It is tho sin 



That is engendered earliest in the soul, 



And dolli beset it like a poison-worm 



Feeding on all lis Ijcauiy, As it steals 



Into the liosom, you may sec the light 



Of the clear, heavenly eye grow cold and dim, 



And the fine upright glory of the liri.w 



Cloud with mistrust, and the unfettered lip, 



That was as Ircc and changeful as the wind, 



Even in sadness redolent with hive, 



Curled with the iciness of constant scorn. 



Ilcats into the inind till it pollutes 



All its pure lountains. Keeling, reason, taste. 



Breathe of its chill corruption. livery sense 



That could convey a pleasure is henumhed, 



And the lirighl human being, that was made 



Full of rich warm Hikclions, and with power 



To look through all things lovely up to God, 



Is changed into a cold and doubling fiend, 



With but one use for reason— <o despise .' 



Oh ! if there is one hiw above the rest, 



Written in wisdom— if ihere is a word 



That 1 would trace as with a pen of fire 



Upon the unsunn'd temper of a child — 



If there is any thing that keeps the mind 



Open to angel visits, and repels 



The ministry of ill— 'I is human love! 



God has made nothing -worthy of contempt. 



The smallest pebble in the Well of truth 



Has its peculiar meaning, anft ".-ill stand 



When man's best monumcntsti've passed away. 



The law of Heaven is love, ancl'though its name 



Has been usurped by passion, and profaned 



To its unholy uses through all time, 



Still the eternal principle is pure : 



And in these deep affections that we feel 



Omnipotent within us, we but see 



The lavish measure in which love is given ; 



And in the yearning tenderness of a child 



For every bird that sings above his head, 



And every creature feeding on the hills, 



And every tree and flower and running brook, 



We see how every thing was made to love: 



And how they err, who, in a world like this, 



Find any thing to hate but human pride.

Diarrh(pa People need not be long troubled 



with that disorder so generally prevalent at this 

 season, commonly known as the Summer, or Bowel 

 Complaint, when the certain remedy therefor may 

 be found on every man's dinner-table, in the shape | plough 

 of salt and vinegar. Two teaspooiifuls of the for- "' 

 mer dissolved in half a gill of the latter, and swal- 

 lowed at a draft, will in most cases effect an in- 

 stant cure. The second dose, if needed, will as- 

 suredly accomplish it. We are ready to give our 

 certificate to Dr. Pickle, in the premises, for we 

 witnessed the proof. Quot/ ernt dtmonslrandum — 

 which is as much as to say in Dutch, " it hasch been

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in tl 

 form and workmanship of itiese Ploughs ; the mould bi-si 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrtno completely oot 

 turning in everij particle of grass or stubble, and tearing ti 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of t| 

 mould board has been very much increased, so that tl 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect 

 the holding and ihe team. The Committee al the late trt 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be aslted as to which of the Plougi 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light anil easy to ww 

 try Prouty & Mears, liul if your lajid is heavy, hard or rocl

At the above me!;f,oned trial the Howard Plough t- 

 more work, with the same power of team, than any oik 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twenlyso* 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draneht, while! 

 Howard Plough turned ticenti/nine and one Im/f inc'ica

 Ploughs are much the strongest and must substuiilia

There has been quiie an improvement made on the sh

having to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise seen
