MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
memory. The house in which the poet was born 
Btanda on the side-hill in a populous quarter. It 
is owned by a baker who purchased and refitted it 
about ten years ago, and now carries on his busi¬ 
ness there. There is another house adjoining it, of 
nearly the Bame size and general Bhape, but which 
apparently has not been altered. That is built as 
most of the houses of an inferior class are in 
Southern Germany, of a frame-work of timbBr filled 
in with masonry. The roof is of tile. Before the 
house on the opposite side of the street, is an old 
Btone fountain, ornamented by the figuro of a giant 
carved in Btone, The fountain is probably older 
than the house, and it is interesting to think that 
the poet must ever have retained a distinct recol¬ 
lection of it as one of the familiar objects of Mb 
childhood. On the side of the house is a piece of 
board with this inscription painted on it:—'“ Here 
in this bouse was born Fredrich Schiller, No¬ 
vember 10th, 1759.” We entered and found a 
woman kneading dough on a long table, and on 
our asking to see the room in which Scuillse 
waa born, she told ns we were then standing in it. 
The room was the one commonly occupied by 
the family, and the only thing of interest in it, was 
a Bmall bookcase which contained a worn opy of 
poem* and soDgs written on Schiller by Goethe, 
Uhland, Schwab, and others; also, a copy of the 
poet’s works, and the Stranger’s Album, which ran 
back fifteen years. There were but few English 
names, and but three or four of Americans in it 
On the top of the bookcase was a small bust of 
8 chiller. 
We resumed our journey along the Valley, walk¬ 
ing over beautiful flowery meadows, and finally 
crossed the Neckar on a clumsy bridge of boats, and 
in half an hoar entered Ludwigsbarg. There is a 
fine palace and park in this town, which, however, 
is not occupied by the Kiag, but is converted into 
a military station. The road which we followed 
from there to Stuttgart, led through a baaotiful 
and fertile country. We entered the city about 
daik and walked slowly through several streets in 
search of a hoteL We had become perfectly in¬ 
different to the curiosity of the people, and our 
knapsacks felt just as comfortable on our backs in 
the midst of a crowded square as they had on the 
loneliest Bpot of our wanderings. I recollect that 
in crossing a market-place where there were many 
persons, something ludicrous attracted our atten¬ 
tion, and we stopped suddenly and burst into loud 
laughter, though at the same time there was many 
a face around us that was broadening into mirth 
at our own appearance. 
We spent a day in Stuttgart, and strolled about 
just as our fancy led ui The new palace is very 
fine and large, but the parks round about it will 
bear much improvement. The drives and prome¬ 
nades extend to Constadt, three miles distant, 
where the King has a Bummer house. In the fore¬ 
noon we visited the picture gallery which is open 
to all without charge. Many from the lowest 
orders of the people were evidently looking at the 
pictures with great interest. The moat famous 
work of art in Stuttgart iB the statue of Schiller 
in bronze, modeled by Thorwaldsdkn. The poet 
is represented in a thoughtful position. One hand, 
holding a half open book, hangs by his side, and 
the other is oroesed over his breast. His head is 
inclined forward, and hiB left foot thrown a little 
in advance.

THE CRY' OF UNBELIEF. 
God! in the silence far above us reigning, 
Amid the glory and the chanting deep, 
Hark to thy human creatures, in complaining 
We lift our souls toward thee as we weep, 
We cannot feel tuee in the darkness near us, 
We cannot sea thee in the brighter glow, 
We call thee through the night, thou dost not hear us, 
Or hearing, thou art dumb to b 11 our woe. 
The whole earth wails, on all her summer blossoms 
The wither ng curse, aud^bUghting mildew hangs, 
Her roses fade in (lushing, and her bosom 
Is scatred with graves, and torn with fiercest pangs. 
High hymna of hope from human gladness swelling. 
Sink ere the close to requiems sad and alow, 
And bridal songs are mixed with funeral knelling, 
And BWeetest anthems eai in sobbing low. 
Young lips that scarce can smile, are sorely sighing, 
Young feet are trembling on the path they tread. 
And young hearts, growing weary, pray for dying, 
And bless the old who stand so near the dead. 
The reaper comes and in the greenest meadows. 
He reapeth where the Jew of morn lies sweet, 
And leaves the pilgrim, watching for the shadows, 
To toil alone across the desert heat. 
The world is full of wrong, and bitter mourning, 
And bleeding hands are lifted uato thee— 
The proud oppressor names thee but in scorning, 
Yet art thou aileat— Father! dan thou'tee? 
We how before thee with our voice of grieving, 
Learn thou to hear, from ont the angels' song, 
Have pity on our human unbelieving, 
And teach our souls “ to sufer and be strong."

The Valley of the Neckar. 
When we asked for beds the landlady desired to 
know how high a price we wished to pay, saying 
that she had several classes. We did not miss this 
opportunity to examine the arrangements of a 
German inn, bat requested her to show them all to 
ns. The price of the lowest class was four cents. 
There were half a dozen beda in one room, which, 
as one may suppose, was not remarkably well 
furnished with toilet conveniences nor kept scru¬ 
pulously free from dirt. The beds, however, look¬ 
ed comfortable, being made oi straw, and covered 
with clean linen sheets. The price of the second 
class was eight cents, but there was not a propor¬ 
tionate Increase in comfort or luxury, and the 
main difference was that there were fewer beds in 
one apartment. The third class cost twelve cents. 
The apartment contained two single beds, and was 
prettily furnished with chairs, tables, wash-stands, 
mirrors, foot-carpets, &c. It waa clean and neat, 
and a bunch of fresh flowers stood in a glass on the 
table. At the fourth and last class the price went 
op to eighteen ceaits. The additional six cents 
was charged, I suppose, on account of the gilt 
mirrors, and because the room was called the best 
in the house. 
A German bed is worth, perhaps, a description. 
They commonly consist of a wooden box, raised a 
few inches from the floor and only wide enough 
for one person, and so short that an American is 
tempted to indulge his propensity for elevating his 
feet to a level with his head, by hoistiog them upon 
the footboard. Two or three enormous square 
pillowB—occupying about half of the bed—are 
piled upon one end, and are intended to elevateyonr 
body to an angle approaching forty-five degreea— 
It takes some time to get accustomed to sleeping 
in this half-upright position. The wooden box is 
partly filled with straw, on which is placed a hard 
mattress, and in winter a sheet, blanket and feather 
bed, form the covering. Sometimes in the country 
inns the covering consists only of the feather bed, the 
under side of whi jli is formed of linen. In moderate¬ 
ly cold weather this arrangement becomes a trap, 
which the traveler will be careful not to be caught 
in more than once; for in an hour or two the heat 
of the feather bed becomes intolerable, bat as 
there is no other covering, when it is thrown off, 
the cold is felt severely enough to drive away sleep. 
In the course of our walk through Heilbron, we 
came to the church of 8t. Killian, and ascended Its 
tower. Below ns was the market place, filled with 
the booths of a fair, and the Rathbause stood on 
one side. While we were looking about, the clocks 
struck nine, and as we happened to turn onr eyes 
to the large dial on the Rafchhause, we saw two gilt 
rams just below the figures, bunt their heads to¬ 
gether, and the figure of an angel on one side, wave 
a wand. Whenthe striking ceased the angel turned 
an hour-glass which he held in his hand. In one 
part of the city stands a massive square tower, 
partly overrun with ivy, in which Gotz ton Bbr- 
lichinobn was confined. We went in alone, and 
climbing up a tottering staircase, among cobwebs 
and dust, entered a little room, where we were 
surprised lo find a complete Buit of armor, stand¬ 
ing on a pedestal and holding a sword and lance, 
and a shield on which were the coat of arms we 
had seen above the tower door in the cvstle of 
Hurtiberg . It was very still there. The two or 
three large flieBthat were bozzing about, and the 
faint roar of the town which Beamed to jar against 
the walls, only made the solitude deeper. I felt 
that no fitter place coaid be found for that stern 
iron statue, which once had enclosed a fierce heart 
and a strong arm, and had glanced foremost in the 
front of battle, than In that ivy-grown and deserted 
tower. 
Soon after leaving Heilbron, on resuming onr 
journey, we passed through a large building in 
which sugar is manufactured from beets, but as at 
that time there were no beets, most of the machi¬ 
nery 6tood stilL The country improved as we 
advanced. Large fields of wheat stretched away 
on either hand, and at one time we saw more than 
fifty women engaged in pulling the weeds there¬ 
from. Tho road was lined on both sideB by mag¬ 
nificent fruit trees, mostly poar and apple, and all 
in full blossom. Later in the day we entered a 
more undulating country, and saw forests scattered 
about in real American style. There were no 
farm-houses standing alone in the country, but all 
the buildingH were collected into villages. At a 
village about three miles from Marbach, we in¬ 
quired the way of a peasant in the street, and he 
told us there was a foot-path leading across the 
bills, that was much shorter than the main road. 
We bad just got outside of the village whenthe 
peasant came running np and told us we bad missed 
the way. He set us right, and we weut on in the 
fresh air of evening, underneath a cloudless and 
moonlit sky. It was very romantic as there were 
no buildings In sight, and we could see over a great 
extent of oonntry. In one place wo stretched onr- 
sclvos beneath a tree on the green turf to rest, and 
1 wondered if Schiller had ever lain there when 
a boy, and gazed up, as we did then, into the starry 
sky. It may be odd to remark it; but I noticed 
three things which we did on the way, which, per-

second Monday of November, and the Governor 
is chosen in August preceding. 
The first permanent settlement in this State was 
on the eastern bank of the Chowan river, abont 
1660, by emigrants, who, in consequence of religi¬ 
ous perseco ion, fled from Nansemond, Virginia.— 
The Const! tion of the United States was adopted 
in Convent on, Nov. 27th, 1780. 
North Carolina is situated between 33° 50' 
and 36° 30’ north latitude, and 75° 45' and 84° 
west longitude, reckoning from Greenwich. The 
total area of the State comprises 4.5,500 square 
miles. The population in 1850 was 868,030, divid¬ 
ed as follows:—Whites, 553,028; free colored, 27,- 
463; Blaves, 283,448. 
The history of this State does not, present many 
very brilliant points, although attempts to colonize 
it were made at a very early day—as long ago as 
1585-6, and by Sir Walter Raleigh —and though 
the people were engaged like their neighbors, in 
bloody straggles with the Indian tribes. Yet the 
State did memorable service in the Revolution, 
and especially in being the first publicly and sol¬ 
emnly to renounce allegiance to the British crown, 
which she did in the famous Mecklenburg Decla¬ 
ration of Independence, May 20th, 1775 —more 
than a year before the similar formal assertion of 
the other States, 
In picturesque attraction, the State is popularly 
considered to he wholly destitute; an impression 
which results from an erroneous estimate of her 
topography, which travelers in the course of years 
have made, from the uninteresting forest travel in 
the eastern portion, traversed by the great railway 
thoroughfare from the Northern to the Southern 
States; the only highway until within very late 
years, and to this day the only one very much in 
use. The Pine, or Eastern part of North Carolina, 
stretching sixty miles inland, is a vast plain, sandy 
and overrun with interminable forests of pine.— 
Yet this wilderness is not without points and im¬ 
pressions of interest to the tourist, more particu¬ 
larly when it is broken, as it often is, by great 
stretches of dank marsh, sometimes opening into 
mystical-looklDg lakes, as on the Little Dismal 
Swamp, lying between Pamlico and Albemarle 
Sounds, and in the Great Dismal Swamp, which 
the State shares with Virginia. Then in these 
woodB we may watch the process of the gathering 
of the sap of the pines, for those famous staple 
manufactures, “tar, pitch and turpentine.” 
The Coast, too, of North Carolina is one of the 
most celebrated on the Western borders of the 
Atlantic—the one most watched and feared by the 
mariners and all voyagers, that upon which the 
dreaded capes, Hatteras and Lookout and Fear 
are found. 
While the innumerable bays and shoals and 
islands are thus cautiously avoided by the passing 
mariners, they are as eagerly scught by the fisher¬ 
man and the sportsman. 
South Carolina, says tha “ Hand-Book of 
American Travel,” is one of the most interesting 
States in the Union, in its, legendary and historic 
story, in its social characteristics, and in its phys¬ 
ical aspect. Upon its settlement by the English, 
in 1670, John Locke, the famous philosopher, 
framed a Constitution for the young colony, after 
the pattern of that of Plato’s Model Republic.— 
Later (1690) the native poetic humor of the people 
received a new prompting from the influx of 
French Huguenots, driven from their own land by 
the Revocation of the Edict of Nantz. This ehiv- 
alric spirit was fostered by the wars which they 
shared with the Georgians, under Oglethorpe, 
against the Spaniards in Florida, and by the gal- j 
lant struggles in which they were perpetually in¬ 
volved with the Yecnaesees and other of their In¬ 
dian neighbors. Next came the long and painful 
trial of the Revolution, in which these resolute 
people were among the first and most ardent to 
take up arms in the cause of Right—the most per¬ 
sistent and Beif-sacrificing in the prosecntionoftiie 
contest, under every rebuff, and the last to leave 
the bloody and devastating fight—a story now told 
undeniably and gloriously everywhere through her 
romantic territory, upon the battle-fields, from the 
mountains to the sea. 
The generous temper, from whioh all this brave 
history grew, has been ever since nourished and 
developed by the social circumstances of the peo¬ 
ple; the kindly and benign influences of a pastoral 
or agricultural life, cementing, endearing, and per¬ 
petuating, through a thousand links, family love, 
associations, attainments, and possessions. These 
characteristics have been yet farther brought out 
by the climate, by the physical nature of their 
home, and by the domestic dependence of one por¬ 
tion of the community, anl the ennobling effect of 
the consciousness of power and the obligations it 
imposes upon the other. 
The physique of the Palmetto State is exceed¬ 
ingly varied. Here,on the seaboard and the south, 
broad savannas and deep, dank lagnnes, coveted 
with teeming fields of rice, and fruitful in a thou- i 
sand changes of tropical vegetation; in the middle 
districts great undulating meadows, overspread 
with the luxuriant maize, or white with snowy car¬ 
petings of cotton; and, again, to the northward, 
bold mountain ranges, lovely valleys, and match¬ 
less waterfalls. 
The popula'ion of South Carolina, in 1850, 
amounted to 668,507. Of these, 274,563 were 
whites; S,960 free colored; 384,984 Blaves. At the 
same time 4 072,051 acres were registered as “im¬ 
proved in farms,” and 12145,649 unimproved.— 
The stjple productions are cotton and rice,—the 
latter being ex'enaively cultivated where the land 
can hi irrigated. Gold and iron are the principal 
minerals. 
The Constitution was formed in 1775, and recon¬ 
structed in 1709. The Governor is elected for two 
years by a joint vote of both Houses of the As¬ 
sembly. After having served one term, he is in¬ 
eligible for the next four yeara. A Lieutenant- 
Governor is chosen in the same manner, and for 
the same period. The Senate consists of 45 mem¬ 
bers, elected by districts for four years, one-half 
biennially. Tho House of Representatives con¬ 
sists of 124 members, apportioned among several 
districts according to the number of white inhabi¬ 
tants and taxation, and are elected for two years. 
The representatives and one-half the senators are 
chosen every second year in October. The Legis- 
lature meets annually in Columbia on the fourth 
Monday in November. The Chancellor and Judges 
of the Supreme Court are chosen by the joint bal¬ 
lot of both Houses of the Assembly, and hold their 
offices during good behavior. Every free white 
male citizen, 21 years of age, who has resided in 
the State two years immediately preceding the 
election, and who is possetsed of a freehold of 50 
acres of land, or a town lot, six months before the 
election, or, not possessing this freehold, who 
shall have resided in the election district in which 
he offers his vote six months before the election, 
and have paid a tax of three shillings sterliug to 
the support of the government, has the right of 
suffrage. The Constitution of the United States 
was adopted in Convention May 23d, 1788. 
Our national greatness is engrafted upon our 
religion. We boast no regal splendor, and no 
titled and venerated nobility. Our glory ia not 
so much in fleets, and armies, and.military renown, 
as adornment. Just so far as these are Christians, 
they are both our defence and glory. AH other 
progress, if the religion of the Bible does not 
stand abreast with it, is progress in power and 
wickedness. We occupy too wide a space on the 
mBp of the world, already, unless we vigorously 
s'rive to elevate our Christian character to the same 
parallel with onr secular advancement. There is 
no fear that our secular advancement will lag be¬ 
hind our Christianity. It will be no blot upon our 
escutcheon that it is radiant with troth, and en¬ 
circled with the halo of pure and undefiled re¬ 
ligion. On the other hand, what would cost blood 
and treasure to control; what would demand di¬ 
plomatic skill, and perplexing and doubtful nego¬ 
tiation to ward off; and what would otherwise 
lay under the burden of degrading and impoverish¬ 
ing vices, is effected with comparative ease by the 
more extended influence of Christianity. If we 
would exalt this land ia intellect, and foster in 
her generous youth habits of thought, mental dis¬ 
cipline, and honorable character; if the virtues 
of our fathers live in our prosperity; if the popu¬ 
lar element which imbues our institutions ia to 
remain onr glory, and we are to attain the eleva¬ 
tion for which God made, we mast have more 
widely diffased Christianity. Would we be re¬ 
spected, and exort even from the iron-hearted and 
•- mail-clad nations." the homage due to the wise 
and good? Such is the influence of moral causes, 
procedure of a retributive Providence, that the 
wisest statesman will look for these results, not so 
much to the fertility of our soil, the abundance of 
our gold, and our giant energy, as to a living and 
invigorated Christianity.— Dr. Spring. 
Immense quantities of 
shad and herring and other fish are taken here, 
and the estuaries of the rivers and the bays are 
among the favorite resorts of wild fowl of every 
species; making this coast scarcely less attractive, 
to the sportsman, than is the Chesapeake Bay and 
the shore of Long Island. 
The Interior of the State is a rude, hilly coun¬ 
try, which, though it is not at present, may yet be, 
soltened into the blooming beauty of New Eng¬ 
land. To the westward, lies the great mountain 
district, which, when it comes to be better known, 
as the railways now approaching it from all sides 
promise that it soon will bo, will place the State in 
public estimation among the most strikingly pic 
turesque portions of the Union. Two great ridges 
of the Alleghanies traverse this gTand region, some 
of their peaks rising to the noblest heights, and 
one of them reaching a greater altitude than any 
summit east of the Rocky Mountains. Wild brooks 
innumerable and of the richest beauty, water-falls 
of wonderful delight, and valleys lovely enough for 
loveliest dreams, are seen in this yet almost un¬ 
known land. 
Mineral products of great variety aud value are 
found in North Carolina, as in the neighboring 
mountain districts of South Carolina and Georgia. 
Until the discovery of the auriferous lands of Cal¬ 
ifornia, this was the most abundant gold tract in 
the United States. The mines here of this mon 
arch of metals have been profitably worked for 
many years. The copper lands of the State, says 
Prof. Jackson, are unparalleled ia richness. Coal, 
too, both bituminous and anthracite, is found here 
in great abundance, and of the finest quality. Iron 
ore also exists throughout the mountain districts. 
Limestone and freestone maybe hau in inexhaust¬ 
ible supply. Marl is abundant in all the counties 
on the coast, and silver, lead, manganese, salt and 
gypsum have been discovered. 
The Constitution of the State waa adopted in 
December 1776, and revised in 1835. The Senate 
and House of Commons are elected biennially by 
the people. The Senate consists of 50 members, 
aud the House of Commons of 120. The Senate is 
choseu by districts, the number being apportioned 
by the amount of taxes paid. The members of 
the House of Commons are apportioned among the 
counties according to their population. The Gov¬ 
ernor is chosen for two years by the qualified 
voters, aud Is eligible only four years in six. There 
is an executive council of 7 members chosen bien¬ 
nially by a joint vote of both Houses. In case of 
the death of the Governor, his duties devolve up¬ 
on the Speaker of the Senate. The Judges of the 
Supreme Court are chosen by a joint ballot of both 
Houses of the Legislature, and hold their office 
during their good behavior. The Attorney-General 
U appoiuted by the legislature for four years.— 
The right of suffrage extends to all free white per¬ 
sons 21 years of age, who have been Inhabitants of 
the Stato for twelve months previous to an elec¬ 
tion, but in order to vote for a Senator a freeman 
mnsfc possess a freehold of 60 acres of land. The

This country, which is beginning to attract more 
particularly than heretofore the attention of the 
civilized world, is situated in the southeastern 
part of Asia, near British India, from which it is 
separated by Burmah. It has an area estimated at 
190,000 square miles, and a population of 3,000.000, 
of whom 500,000 are Chinese. Its centre is trav¬ 
ersed by the Menam river, from north to south, 
and the region watered by this stream, as well as 
the southeast part of the country, is highly fertile, 
but other parts are rugged and mountainous. It is 
said to possess a salubrious climate. The natural 
products of the country are such as enter very 
largely into the commerce of the world, and will, 
no doubt, one day, form the basis of an extensive 
and beneficial intercourse with the trading nations 
of Western Europe and the people of the United 
States. Sugar, one of its products, i* one of the 
great staples of tho world; and besides this it pro¬ 
duces rice in great abundance, which is the chief 
food of the inhabitants; pepper, tobacco, cocoa 
nuts, sago, the finest tropical fruits, teak, sandal, 
rose and other woods, coffee, cotton, rattans, and 
numerous gums, with gold from washings, copper, 
iron and gems. Elephants abound in gTeat nura 
bers. 
The people of Siam are small of stature, live un¬ 
der a despotic government, and are but a little ad¬ 
vanced in the arts of civilized life. Bangkok is 
the principal city of the country, and the residence 
of the two kings with which it is blessed. Tne 
town is situated on the river Menam, about thirty 
miles from the Gulf of Siam. Teasels are prevent¬ 
ed from entering tho river, by an extensive bar, 
formed by the debris brought down and deposited 
at its mouth. 
The village of Paknam, an Inconsiderable place, 
is located at the mouth of the river, which Is pro¬

for the moment The Sabbath—this is the idea!— 
How Bhall I keep it? Some one says:—Be zealous 
on this point Whether yon live in town or coun¬ 
try, resolve not to profane your Sabbath, or in the 
end you will give over caring for your SOuL The 
steps which lc to this are regular. Begin with not 
honoring God’s house; cease to honor God’s book, 
and by-andby yon wifi give God no honor at all 
Let any man lay the foundation with no Sabbath, 
and I am never surprised if he finishes with the 
top-stone of no God. It was a remarkable saving 
of Jadge Hale, that of all persons convicted of 
capital crimes, while he waa upon the bench, he 
found few who did not confess that they began 
their career of wickedness by neglect of the Sab¬ 
bath. 
The Peace op God. —How very few attain and 
preserve in their consciences, the sense of God’s 
being perfectly at peace with them! It ought to 
rule there always and by all means; but, for want 
of it, they afford continual occasion for a legal and 
unbelieving spirit, to rob them of their peace, and 
thereby distress them in their hearts. As guilt 
comes in love goes out. What weakens the cause 
must also weaken the effect. Love with its fruits 
must decrease in proportion as the believer with¬ 
draws his heart-dependence from God. “There¬ 
fore, being justified by faith, we have peace with 
God through our Lord Jesns Christ, by whom also 
we have access by faith into this grace wherein we 
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”— 
British Messenger.

six miles. The moss of habitations are about 
fifteen feet high, aud contain three rooms; they 
have one entrance, closed by a bamboo screen. 
Some of the shops have a low upper story, and the 
house, roof and terrace altogether, may rise twonty-

Going to a “Better Country.”— AThristian 
does not turn his hack upon the fine thing3 of this 
world because he has no natural capacity to enjoy 
them, no taste for them; hut because^the Holy 
Spirit has shown him greater and better things. 
He wants flowers that will never fade; he wants 
something that a man can take with him to another 
world. He is like a man who has had notice to 
quit his house, and having seoured a new one, he 
is no more anxtous to repair, muoh less to embel- 
lfsh and beautify the old one; his thoughts are 
npon the removal. If you hear him converse, it 
ia upon the house to which he is going. 1 hither 
he sends his goods; and thus he declares^plainly 
what he ia seeking.— Cecil.
