THE FARMER'S HOME.
If there's a place unon the earth.
I Where want arid sorrow seldom come,
Where rlisconientment ne'er had birth,
And peace ne'er leaves the social hearth,
It is the farmer s home..
UTrMe independence is a prize
i u muse possessing it more dear,
By far more precious in their eyes,
Than any other 'neath the skies.;
A lose we find it here.
Let those who fooiishly suppose,
I Thai'in the city halls aJone.
Are always. found the ismartet beaux;
(And thus their ignorance expose,)
V i sit the fa i me i hum e.
And there theyVo ever sn-re to find,
Within the evening circle bright.
As "stately forms" with hearts and mind.
Enriched with gems of choicest kinds,
Lit up with viitue's light.
And others too, there do at night,
.A round the sqciaf fireside come;
Whose; cheeks are red, and eyes are bright,!
Whose; forms are fair, and steps are light,
Within the farmer's home.
And yet another home is 'given
Io us poor mortals here below:
And when from -earthly homes we're riven;
W-e'li -find a belter one in Heaven:
Eternal joys to know. M. B.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLI
NA ANNUAL COMMKNCE
MENT, &c.
Regarding Education as the great ?onser
vatorof our free Institutions, it always gives
us pleasure to recordevidences of its growing
H m porta rvce in public estimation. The last
was Commencement week at Chapel Hill
the seat of our University and we im
agine we shall be borue out in the assertion
fay all present, that a more imposing and
brilliant occasion has never been witnessed
!iu lite Republic of Letters in North Caroli
na.
Kin commencement day (ihursday) it
was computed that at least fifteen hundred
persons were present at the Exercises.
among whom, were some of the most distin
guished citizens of the State, besides an
unusually large number of Trustees, and
the greatest collection of Ladies ever before
seen a circumstance of much more impor
tance to the young gentlemen of the Col-
Siege, than all the rest combined.
We are highly gratified to state, that the
situation of our University was never more
prosperous than it now is. The hiiih and
acknowledged--reputation of the learned
gentle'pen who compose its Faculty, with
t President at their head, eminently quali
fied by nature and education for his respon
sible position, entitles the Institution to the
Meommandiiig and lofty7 influence which
jfpwblic opinion is now disposed to admit asj
ts due.
The fo!IowingS?5lstecs of the Uniyersi-
sty were in attendance, viz: ins L.xcei-
lency Gov. Graham, hx-bovernor More-
Ohead, Hon. D L Swain, James Mebanc,
Esq. Dr. James Webb, John D. Hawkins.

Wiiile passing the monument of Presi

''ion uncovered iheir heads. Upon reaching
'he Chapel, it opened, and the Procession
entered in reversed order.
After the immense auditory were seated.
the Annual Address was pronounced before
ihe tNo Literary Societies, by Ihe Rev. ii
r. uavis, oi aaiisDurv. vv-e express, we
r- w m
re confident, the general sentiment, when
we say that a more chaste, beautiful and
ippropriate effort shas been rarely elicited.
Its subject was the capacious pqwers of the
Mind, and the high duty of j cultivating
them to mil expansion, and the Add res
ibounded with cogent reasoning, classical
a
allusions, and the aptest illustrations, while
a vein of enlightened piety ran through the
whole, and bespoke the sacred character of
the speaker. We hope to see this Address
in print, though we heard that its author
with characteristic modesty, bad declined
such publicity. i j
On Wednesday afternoon, there was a
most interesting meeting of;the Alumni As
sociation, at which Oov. Morehead presi
ded. No less than ten Alumni of the In
stitution have died since the; last Com
mencement, and very interesting Biography
ical sketches of each were read by diti'eient
members of the Association, viz: 1
Of Hon. James Martin, by Charles Man

Hon. W. H. Battle, Of Hon. Joel Hoi

The afiernoon was so far advanced.
when the interesting exercises of the Al
umni Association were brought to a close,
hat there was not time to hold the Anni
versary meeting of the Historical Societ)
of the University. We obtained a copy,
howeve.,of the very valuble Report pre
pared for the occasion by the Secretary
Tutor Phillips, and shall publish it entire
in our next. j
At night, there was Declamation by Ihe
following young gentlemen, Members Ol
he Sophomore class, viz:
1. Lionel L. Levy, (So. Carolina,) Mc

It will be perceived on consulting the!
flist of Speakers on the evenings of
day and Wednesday, that there were
resentatives lrom ix oiaiea in me
a fact, of itself, illustrating most 'strong
ly the estimate in which the University isj
held abroad.-

The Orations delivered by
the
young
gentlemen above amed, were ol course
original, and left on the auditory not only
a deep impression of their own intellectualj
acquirenvents, but ol reflected honor wor
thy of the distinguished literary re puia
lion, zeal and industry oi tne neaus oine
College.
The Senior or Graduating class consist
ed of the following gentlemen, viz: Wil

The sight of so many young men who, af
ter a daily association for four years, were
bout to separate, perhaps never to cneei
again, awakened the mosi.Uvely emotions
even in those who had been long accustom-j
ed to such scenes. May the
hopes and lond anticipations vvnicn ani
mate their young hearts and enihusiastic
temperaments, be all realized on the greats
theatre of life!
