Our Pilgrim Fathers on their first arrival were convinced of the necessi- ty of a general education, in order to car- ry out their principle of government .. Mr. Parker thinks there was nothing which transpired during the seventeenth century, allthough that time was literally crowded with events, so important in its own charac- ter and in the ultimate character of the world as the building of school-houses and meeting- houses by the pilgrims; for there was cherished the spirit of republicanism, which can never be carried out without the aid of religion and general education.

'Tis not a proud inheritance, In such a world as this- For wealth is but a sure pretence Of transitory bliss.
"Tis not for fame. or honor's seats,- They're flowers but half concealed,- And those who choose to pluck their sweets, Will find the thorns concealed.
This is my wish, sweet simile, Of brighter joys above .-
That our sweet home may ever be A paradise of love.
you never do, unless you strive to follow peace with all men. If you reflect upon and treasure up every harsh word, you will always be in trouble. If you pass over a little injury, and banish it from your mind, and return good for evil, there will be no danger of trouble; you cannot be otherwise than good citizens and fast friends,+How soon would earth resemble heaven, and every thing glow with the the beauty and freshness of paradise, if mankind would banish anger and revenge from their bosom, and were determined to live peaceably and happy with their neigh- bors.
A REAL GENTLEMAN.
He never dresses in the extreme of fash- ion, but avoids singularity in his person or habits. He is affable with his equals, and streets, and thy dwellings shall be turned pleasant and attentive to his inferiors. At the sound of these startling words, the people either fled, as it were, for their lives, or stood in mute astonisment, struck conversation he avoids hasty, ill-tempered, In |into heaps of smouldering ruins! Repent! Repent !! " or insulting remarks. He pays punctually for his newspaper. He never' pries into other peoples' affairs.

ORIGINAL TALE.
'Danvers, Feh 7, 1845. No. 6. All was now speculation as to who this In these days of originality, people strange being was. Some supposed it to have had their minds so well led with Original Tales, that they will hardly read ORIGIN OF THE SCYTHE MANUFACTURE, Mr. Ebenezer Tisdale, of Lebanon, Ct. commenced the scythe making business in America, about the year 1735. From Boston one of his scythes was sent to Eng- one copied from another paper.

LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH ALL.
All are liable to err; and those who are tthe most guilty, are frequently the first to censure others .- They who bear the least from friends, are most inclined to provoke. It would seem that men might learn wisdom experience of the past, and labor to pre- "vent; unkind words, bickerings, and quar- irels. When they see the misery that has been produced by "trifles light as air," fthey should form the resolution, never to use a harsh word, throw out a base insinu- ation, or show a revengeful look.
Mankind should live like members of one 'family, and labor to promote the welfare of each. Instead of picking out blemishes in your friends, and denouncing their pro- ceedings, how much better to dwell on their virtues and kindness! If they uninten- `tionally wrong you, instead of flaring up, and showing your spite with harsh words, ror doing them an injury, reflect that they have done you many favors; how many times they have visited you in sickness, sympathized in your sorrow, and when they had a rarity, shared with you and your children! Reflecting thus, would dis- arm you of every unkind and revengeful feeling, and you could not find it in your depths of human penetration. heart to do them an injury. When the
