The first BONUS was appropriated in December, 1 ?41,amounting to 10 per cent, on the sum insured under theoldest policies ; to S) per cent., 7i per cent. Sec., Sec., oil

others, in proportion to the time of standing, making anaddition of $100; $67.50; $75, Sec., Sec., to every SIOOO,originally insured, which is an average of more than 50per cent, on the premiums paid, and without increasingthe annual payment to the company.

THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER.She may not, in the mazy dance,

With jewelled maidens vie,She may not smile on courtly swain,

With soft bewitching eye ;She cannot boast a form and mein,

That lavish wealth ha 3 brought her ;

But ah ! she has much fairer charms,The farmer's peerless daughter!

The rose and lily on her cheek,Together love to dwell,

Her laughing blue eyes wreath aroundThe heart a witching spell;

Her smile is bright as morning's glowUpon the dewy plain,

And, list'ning to her voice, we dreamThat spring has come again.

The timid fawn is not more wild,Nor yet more gay and free,

i The lily's cup is not more pure,In all its purity ;

Of all the wild flowers in the wood,Or by the chrystal water.

There's none more pure or fair than she,The farmer's peerless daughter.

Then tell me not of jewelled fair?The brightest jewel yet,

Is in the heart where virtue dwells,And innocence is set!

The glow of health upon her cheek,The grace no rule has taught her?

The fairest wreath that beauty twines,Is for the farmer's daughter !

VOU WILL BE WANTED.Take courage, young man! What if

you are but an humble and obscure ap- ;prentice?a poor neglected orphan?a jscoff and a by word to the thoughtless ar.d jgay, who despise virtue in rags, because Iuf its tatters. Have you an intelligentmind, all untutored tho' it be ? Have youa virtuous aim, a pure desire and an hon-est heart ? Depend upon it, one of thesedays you will be wanted.

The time may be long deferred; youmay grow to manhood, and you may evenreach your prime ere the call is made ; but :virtuous aims, pure desires and honesthearts are too few and sacred not to beappreciated?not to be wanted.

Your virtues are not always to be hid-den?your poverty shall not always wrapyou about as with a mantle?obscurityshall not always veil you from the multi-tude. Bo chivalric in your combat withcircumstances. Be ever active, howeversmall your sphere of action. It will suie-

ly enlarge with every movement, and yourinfluence willhave increment.

44 In the world's broad field of battle,In the bivouac of life,

Be not like dumb driven cattle?Be a hero in the strife."

Work on, for suiely you willbe want-ed, and then comes your reward. Leanupon the sacred verity, '1 have neverseen the righteous forsaken, nor his seedbegging bread.' Never despair, for the

lives of good men abundantly show thatoften when clouds are blackest, and thetempest is fiercest, and hope is faintest, a

still small voice will he heard saying,'come hither ?you are wanted,' and allyour powers will find employment. There-lore, take heart, young man, for you willbe wanted.

Be silent when the fool prates ?he willthe sooner.

it or not?that one side whisper against thecharacter of a virtuous female. You sayyou don't believe it, but you will use yourinfluence to bear up the false report andpass iton the current. Stiange creatures

, are mankind ! How many reputationshave been 10-it by a surmise ! Flow manyhearts have been bled by a whisper !

; How many benevolent deeds have beenchilled by tbe shrug of a shoulder ! How

: many individuals have been shunned by a

Destroy thepassion for telling a tale, we pray yonLisp not a word that may injure the char-acter of another. Be determined to listento no story that is repeated to the injury ofanother, and as far as you are concerned,the slander will die. But tell it once, anilit may go as on the wings of the wind, in-creasing with each breath, till it has circu-lated through the State, and brought to thegrave one who might have lived and been

WORKING IN DROUGHT. ?Many aro1 opposed to working corn during periods ofdrought under the impression that, whenthu3 worked in dry weather with theplough, which necessarily cuts up andtears its lateral and fibrous roots, the pro-bability is that the blades will wither andburn up, not because the earth has beenstirred, but because the plants have been

I unnaturally deprived of their means ofsup-i plying themselves with food and moisture: from the earth, and because, by that ab-sence of rain, their power of reaction liasbeen suspended, and they cannot re-sup-ply themselves with a new series of feed-

j ers. Thus believing, we hesitate not in; advancing the opinion, that stirring theearlh with the cultivator is decidedly ben-eficial, in even the dryest periods, as all

' such loosenings of the soil serve to pre-pare it to absorb and condense the dews,and dispense their refreshing influences to

the roots of the growing plants. If thedews fall upon a hard surlace, the sun ex-

; hales them before they can possibly doany benefit; whereas, if the surface be

| open and in fine tilth, as a necessary con-sequent much willsink into the earth be-fore the evaporating power of the sun's rayscan disadvantageous!}* operate, and thuswill a moderate degree of moisture bepreserved in the earth at a time when it ismost needed.

j We learn, that during the last year fivej hundred and forty young ladies faintedaway on various occasions- More thantwo hundred of them fell into the arms ofyoung gentlemen. Forty were caught bytheir aunt's and grandmothers; and only

! one had the misfortune to fall on the floor.?She, however, picked out a soft place tofall upon and was providentially receivedby an ottoman.
