The most of those presont, no doubt, realize that this day it the annivertaiy of my oidination. Sixty yeara ago, I was solemnly consecrated to ihe work of the ministry in this place; and, though in fetbl health when t oniereo me mi nistry, if my memory is Correct, I have not, by indisposition been kept from the house of God. during that long pe riod, but sleeen Sabbaths aix of them by the lung fever, in 1812, and five i. k,..t,in little were of skin unon tho Lack of my ritfht baud.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth ; but the word of the Lord enduieih forevrr." This is a very comforting thought, well calculated to keep the mind from linking while reviewing the datulaifoue mode by time. DOMESTIC ECONOMY. The following interesting sketch of Vankce Thrill, ia selected Iroia TroA'saor Caiman' fourth Report upon tho Agiicuhuro ol Masan- chiiettts. It ia valuable becotme il shows Iu whet a Jrgroa of independence aod cuiiiiurl and respectability, indeed f happiness, can be produced by a well directed system of in dustry and frugality in union with temperance and a correct moral deportment. May it find many imitators in the sunny South. It will not be without ita use, if it doet no more than prosent to the ima gination a i harming picture ol rural com fort and independence, if 1 refer pirticu larly to one instance which strongly at tracted my attention. In one of those beautiful valleys in which the county abounds, where the surrounding bills in Junejara covered to their summits with the richest herbsge and dotted over with the rejoicing herds, at the foot of lite hills, near a small stream which here and there spreads itself like a clear n-ir-lor encased in a frame of living green and then at other placet forcee itt gurgling watere through tome narrow passes of the rocks, you may find an humble un painted cottage, with the various appur tenancee of sheds and ttyee and barne around it. Three or four stately treat present themsslvet in front of it. The door yaidCs filled with flowers and shrubs; and the buildings aeem to ctnd in the midst of a flourishing and full bearing orchard,. the treca of which are clothed with living green, with no suckert at their roots, unadorned with the nests of the ca terpiljar, uusnathed by the blightol the can krr worm, and with their bark clean and bright, indicating alike the health of the tree and the esre of the proprietor. Eve ry part of the premises exhibits the most exact order and carefulness. No batter cd axe lies at the woodpile; no rotten logs, no unhoused sled, no broken wheels, uo rusted and pointless plough, eecuiaber tha roadway; as growlirg tew, with her hungry aad aqutatirtg lii-er, dttputra y ear entrance into the gate; ao aaailteg tlog tUods asBtty at the door. The ettecdsd row cf milk p ana arcgUtering ia the ana; and the chum and tho pails are scrubbed to a wkiicaeia absolutely without a ataia. Tbs hoses it at seat witbia as with- oat for evch results sis not seta bat where harmony reigee tvprcms, and a congeniality of lasts and purpose and cht racwr exists among all oartaers ia lue firm. Ths kitchen, the d-iry, tbs bed rooms, the pa'i lor. all e x Libit the sams neat ness and order.

Ths iloort are carpeted, and ths beds are made rom forULlc. with ths product sf their own flocks and fields, all wrought by thsir owa bands. Ihe goldea products ol Uis dairy; the transparent eweete of ute hive, obtained without robbery or tnor !der; the abuailant ronuibutiooe of the psultrv-vard. the tstdsn and the orchard. load the table with dtliciouo luxuries. j There are beukt for their leisure hours; land there standi loo the revered bass- viol io the corner, constant like iu owner 'to tpptar at church on Sundays, and kind Jalwayt to assist in tin chsnlof ths daily morning end evening hvsin. Belter than all this, there ere children trained in the good uld school of respectful manners, where tbe wordt of are, and grey hairs. ledge stimulated the more from a fesling of tho restricted meant of gratifying it. There ie another delightful feature inlbe picture; the eged grandmother in. her chair of sUte. with a countf-naucs as mild and benignant aa a summer even ing'e twilight; happy in the conviction el duty sueessfullv discharged by traininj her children in habits of tempersncs end industry; tnd receiving, ae a kind of houathold diely, ths cheerful tribute from all of reverenre and affection. Some mav call thia poetry; it is indeed the true poetry of humble rural life, but itiiirs it no fiction nor embellishment a bout it. The ph-tiite ia only true; and if ii were not a liolaiioa of ths rules which I have proieiibrd to myself to men lion names in such cases, md thttlmightot fend a modesty which 1 highly leaped, I would show my naJors the path which loads to ih kouse, and they should look at the origins! for lhemslves. The owner, when I viaited him, wa forty fiie yean old. At twenty-one years old, he was the possessor ol only lour teen dollars, and with the blessing only of friends no richer than himself. His whole buainest has been farming and that only. He married early; though he didJ not eel a fortune with a wife, he got a fortune in a wifi. They have, brought up three childtcn: and with the co-labor of the chilJrcn, they hae given them a subslami 1 education, so that caohof them. now of sufficient age, is capable ol keep ire -a good school, as they hate done. with e view to asUl their own educa tion. He began with thitty five acres oi land, but has rcconlly added fifty-five more lo his farm at an expeme of nearly thirteen hundred dollnrs.for which there remained io be oaid fite hundred -a dtbi which, i health continued, he would be able to dis charge in two years. The products of his farm sre various. He raises some yourg stock; he fattens a considerable amount ol pork for market and occasionally a yoke ol cattle. He sells, in a neighboring lillsge aunually, about one hundred dollars worth of frui, principally applet and peaches. Such a aiiuauoa may be considered, in Ute best tense of the term, aa independ ent si that of any man in the country. Now what are the causes of such sue cos? Persevering industry ; the etrictcsl and most absolute tempsrance; the moat particular frugality and always turning every thing to the best account; living within his owa resources; and above all things, ueser in any cae Buffering him self to contract a debt; expecting in the purchase of land, which could be made immediately, productive, and. where of course the perfect security Tor the ueoi could neither be used up, nor wasted, nor squandered." A TRUE STORY. Many year ago, it waa found neees- aary to bt-seige the iort called leiige Budire, some few roues tcooi Calcutta down the river, which tbe natives had held in spue of our remonstrances, prob ably eupported in their hostile obstinacy by the French and Dutch governments, who, as all the world knowe, have seve ral settlements in the East Indies.

Now, it so hap pened that in about an hour alter be had thus settled himself io hi hammock, hi tuddonly swoke. A burning fever, in agonizing thirst parched hit mouth, so he arose and went to his locker: but, ala! be had drunk every drop of the liquid be possessed, and where to find more be knew nol. Aboard the vessel he had no hopes; ebors was hit only chance; so, uu seen by sny ons lie mads his way into tbe water by lowering himseli from the chains, or from the port hole, or mate such place, aad elrock out for th beach. where he landed aatcly. in spite ol atlifa trt, sentinel, and all other similar op noaiiioiit. -.

The Fort frowned gloomily ovi r him in tulien grandeur: no other place whero ihe spirits were likely to be fuutid could he discover though he peered enxinualy round on every aide. To lose tune, to be Uughed at by his comradet on hit return for the wild goose chaso he had undertaken, was by no means pslaUbletoBuntiiu. Tobehiulk td it a inixttn unknown to a tailor; to, lather than loe bis grog, he determined M loso his life, or, at all events to risk it. Without further ado. he began scaling the walls of the Fort. This he easily man-agt-d, and in a few moments found him self at tho top of the glacis.

Assailed, at tltes supposed, on both aider, tht enemy acftialiy ia the fortress, surprised in the middle of the night, ex pecting nothing lea than to be cut to pieces in the dark, what could they do? Tbe bravest might well hesilat.; unable to got their forces together, confused and astounded, they naturally supposed they had been betrayed. They had but one course-left to pursue. They opened the gatca aud fled as fut and as far as their feet would carry them, leaving the town in the quiel possession of Jim Bunt ing, who, after shouting vaiuly for some time, fell down and alet for a couple of hours, when he awoke, perfectly sober, though about a much puszled to find himself alone, and in tho enemy Fort, ae ihe poor man was in the Arabian Nights, when he suddenly found himself transformed into an eagle. Jim lulled bis eyes. He pinched his legs, and walking up to a lank actually drank three mouthfuls of water before he could believe that he was awake. He then strutted up h Ute ramparts; and con vincing himself he was in hie proper enses, for there lay the two frigates and there floated the union jk, for which he had often naked hit life. 'Shiver my timber! but thit is a queer go!' taid he, and with tit at be twitched up bis trowsers at nsual, and shook the pigtail which then hung from every tailor head.
