The Germans of Peimsvlvaiiia.
So deeply is lhe State of Peniisj'lv.-inia in¬ debted for her prosperily to the GeRma.v part of her cilizens, ihal we leel that an article de¬ voted lo ihem will not be oul of place in this meridian, where ihcy comprise nearly tho entire population. The German character once employed the pen of the elegant and en¬ lightened Tacitus, one of the first hislorians of anliquily. They evidently inherit all the virlues ascribed by this author lo their ances¬ tors, with none of their vices, which Chris¬ tianity has banished from among ihe.Ti. These ancestors niig'raled chiefly from the Palatinate, from Alsace, Swabia, Saj;ony, and Switzerland, with an admi.xture of natives of every pnnci pality and dukedom in Germany. Wlien we reflect at this day, that the slock of most of these bold pioneers in the setilemeni of Penn¬ sylvania consistedonly of a few pieces of gold or silver coin, a chest of cloihing, a Bible, and a Psalter, and that now their descendants own the most immense possessions, we are forci¬ bly struck wilh the miraculous changes wiougbl in lhe piogress of time by an Over¬ ruling and Divine Hand. If it were possible to determine the relative proportions of Ihese sums, the contrast would form such a monu¬ menl of human industry and economv as has seldom been witnessed in any age or country.
The principal part of the Germans of Penn¬ sylvania are farmers—hardy and industrious lillets of the soil—that most noble of all the occupations which can engage the attention of man. iVIore skillful cultivators of the earth, loo, we hazard nothing iu saying, can be found nowhere on the face of the globe.
The Germans set a great value upon patri¬ monial propeity. This useful principle in hu¬ man nature prevents much folly and vice in young people. It moreover leads lo lasting and extensive advantages in the improvement of a farm ; for whal inducement can be strong¬ er in a parenl lo plant an orchaid. lo preserve forest trees, or lo build a commodious and du¬ rable house, than the idea that they will be possessed by a succession of generations who shall inherit his blood and name !
What strikes a traveler ihroughour German counties most forcibly,is Iheii mammoth barns, called, in iheir own language, Schweitzer scheuer. Indeed, itislheir invariable custom, in settling a new tract of land, first to piovide large and suitable accommodations for their horses and cattle, before they expend rauch money in building a houso for Ihemselves.— No feature in their character speaks so loudly in behall of their liumanity, as this willing ness to suffer discomfort tlumselves, ralher than impose it on the dumb and uncomplain¬ ing beast But from this let it not be inferred, that their dwellings are deficient in the com¬ forts of life. The reverse is true. No class, so emphalically as they, live ' on the fat of the land,' and none boasts of so many and such substantial domestic enjoyments.
Another lact. which never fails lo rivet the attention of a stranger, is the e.xiraordinary size and strength of their horses. A German horse is known in every part of the State.— He seems to 'feel wilh his lord' the pleasure and the pride of good and bountiful living.— It is a well established fact, that the German horses of Pennsylvania per/orm double the amount of labor of the New England or south¬ ern breed, from the fact that thcy are more plentifullly fed. For the same reason Iheir cowD yield double llie quantity of milk, and of a qualityvaslly superior.
In a word, a German farm may be distin¬ guished from the farms of the other cilizens, by the superior size of their barns^ the plain bul compact construclion of their dwellings, the height of iheir ciiclosures, the exlent iil their orchards, lhe fertility of their fields-, the luxuriance oflheir meadows, the giant slrenglh of their caltle, and by a general appeaiance of plenty and prosperily in all that belongs to them.
The favorable influence nf agricullure, as conducted by the Germans, in extending human happiness, is manifested by the joy they express upon the birlh of a child. A'o dread of poverty, nor distrust of Providence from an increasing family depresses lhe spiiits of theso industrious and frugal people. Upon the birth of a son, ihey e.xult in the gifl of .i ploughman or a wagoner; and upon the birlh of a daughter, they rejoice in the addiiion of a spin-sler or milk-maid to their family. Hnp¬ py stale of human society ! What blessings can civilization conler that can atone for the extinction of the ancient and patriarchal pleas¬ ure of raising up a numerous and healthy family of children lo labor for their parents,, for themselves, and for iheir country; and finally, lo parlake of knowledge and happi¬ ness which are annexed to exisience! The joy of parents upon the birlh of a child is the grateful echo of creating goodness. May the mountains of Pennsylvania be forever vocal wilh sungs of joy upon these occasions!— They are the infallible signsof innocence, in¬ dustry, wealth and happiness in the Slate.
The German mechanic, too, is a most use¬ ful and enterprising citizen, possessing all the Iraits of character in common wilh the farmer. His first ambition, on starling inlo life, is to be¬ come a. freeholder, so as not lo live in a renied house: andthe highest temporal delight he can enjoy, springs from his ability lo declare, " This house is my own." Admirable qualily that, which renders him afraid of deit, that prolilic source of misery, want and crime !
But ihc genius of the Germans of Pennsyl- vanid is nol confined to agricullure and the mechanic arts. iMany of them have acquired great wealth by foreign and domestic com¬ merce.
But another faci, which speaks louder in their praise than any oiher, is this, that they are particularly attenlive to the religious edu¬ cation of their children, and to the establish¬ ment and support of the Christian religion.	
For this purpose they make the erection of a school-house and a place of worship the first objects of their care. Bul they do not slop here. They lake great pains lo produce in their offspring, not only habits of labor, but a love of il. In this they submit to the irrevers ible sentence pronounced upon man in such a manner as to convert the wrath oi Heaven in¬ to private and public happiness. " To fear God and io love work" aie the firet lessons they teach to their children.
As members of civil government, the Ger¬ mans are, in the most exalted sense, patriotic and useful. Strongly attached to the princi pies of our free institutions, and contributing largely to the public revenue, they constitute the " bone and sinew " of the Stale. Many of tbem hava becomo eminent in the science of government, and they have furnished some of our most distinguished statesmen, who have served in the highest executive and leg¬ islative offices. We will be content with re¬ ference to a single illustrious example, the revered Simon Snyder, whose name has be¬ come the very synonyme of sterling sense, unflinching honesty, and far-seeing sagacity, and whose administration of the Chief Mag¬ istracy of the State, for a period of nipe years, is refened lo at the present day, by men of all parlies, as a very model of good govern¬ ment.
The Germans of Pennsylvania, lo their credii be il spoken, never besiege lhe govern¬ ment for favors m their domestic pursuits. They are never known lo crowd the legislative halls, clamorous for special privileges, and rely for wealth and prosperity, not on acts ol assembly, but on their own daily toil and in¬ dustry. They are, perhaps, the only class of people who practically regard government.
light. All that they desire from Government, is lobe let alone.
As neighbors, they are extremely kind and friendly. They frequently assist each other by loans of money for a short time, without interest. But to secure their confidence, it is necessary to bc punctual, as ihey never lend money a second time to one who has once violaled his obligation. We have heard it re¬ marked, that during the war of Independence there were very few instances of any ofthem discharging a bond, or a debt, in depreciated paper money!
These are some of the trails oi character which have raised the Germans of Pennsyl¬ vania to a degree of inoral and political ele¬ vation surpassed by no other race of men in the world. From Ihis proud spectacle we may learn to prize knowledge and industry in ag¬ riculture, coupled wilh a due observance of Christian duty, as the basis bolh of domestic happiness and national prosperity.
Vour Change, Sir.— One of the nonde¬ script specimens of humanity, called dandies, traveling Ihrough Conneclicut a (ew days since, in his own or borrowed conveyance, was brought up with a " round lurn" at a toll gale which he designed to have passed with¬ out paying the usual fee. When he found himself in limbo, from which he could uot es¬ cape without "forking over," he inquired of a young lady who was in attendance at the gate, how much he had to pay, before he could pass the foimidahle barrier.
"Three cenls, sir, is the charge for single wagons," replied the young lady.
'¦There cents is a threepence, the halfof a si.xpence ; one of the smallest bits of silvei in uso, eh ! young woman, am I right V' .said the dandy, feeling in his pockets for his change.
" Three cents, sir, if you please," said the lady.
" In your office of highway??ian, young wo¬ man, you will subslract the amount of your demand, from this piece, and return me the balance as conveniently quick as your ordina¬ ry locomotion will allow," said the dandy gen¬ tleman, at the same time purposely dropping a shilling piece into the mud beneath his wa¬ gon. "Ah ! Ihere it is in the mud, I declare. I wouldn't dirty mv fingers for twenty of them."
The young lady took tho shilling frora the mud where he had dropped it—went into the house, and relurned with nine cents, which she placed immediately under the wheel, where she had taken up the shilling.
" Hillo, hillo, young woman, what is it you mean 1" said the dandy. "Why don't you put that coin into my hand, ehV
The girl archly replied, "Sir, I found your money under tho wagon ; there you will (ind your change," and as she tuined to go inlo the house, she gave the fellow a most signifi¬ cant smile, and added, " I wouldn't dirly my fingers for twenly of them ! would you Mr. Dandy-man? ha, ha, ha—there's your change sir," and she closed the door.
The gentleman dismounted—picked '¦ up his coppers," and was off at full speed, impa¬ lienl to get out of sight and hearing. If he should ever happen in that country again, he will take care how he makes change wilh Yankee girls.
WhipiUner tbe <^'Old f,ientleman'" I'ouud the slump.
Just after the StMe election in Pennsylva- iiin, Mr. Smith, a warm Cass man, met his frienil Mr. Jones, an enlhusiastic Taylor man.
' Jones,' said Smith, 'the eleciion of John¬ ston does nol increase Taylor's chances in Pennsylvania.'
' \ PS it does,' answered Jones.
'I'll bet yon a hundred dollars that Cass carij'es"lhat Slate,' cried .Smith.
'Done,' exclaimed Jones. ' But,' he added after a moment's hesitation—'but if wo bet we shall lose onr voles.'
'So wo shall,' said Smith.
'I'll tell you what,'Jones orien, uib rate i^.isi.w.,;.,^ „ij—'I'll tell you what raay be done. My wife shall call on your wife, and bet with her.'
'Good,' saya Smith.
Home went Jones. ' My dear, Mrs. Smitli wants lo bet a hundred dollars with )'ou that Cass will carry Pennsylvania.'
' Mis. Smith bet a hundred dollars with me!' exclaimed the astonished lady.
' Ves, and if you would like to bet, there's the money. Go round this afiernoon and see her, and put the stakes inlo the hands of a lady friend.'
The two ladies met, and the money was deposiled. On Thursday lasl when the result was known, Jones told his wife to go and draw lhe money, as she had won. The lady was nnt slow in obeying her husband that time, and before an hour, the two hundred dollars, exchanged into half eagles, were glit¬ tering Ihrough lhe interstices of her beautifnl purse.
When Jones came home at night, he said to his wife—' Well, my dear, did you get the money'{'
'Yes,' was the reply. ' I'll  Irouble  you  for  it,  darling,  if please'
'Trouble me for what t'
'For the money that I won of Smith.' ' You won !   Did ijou bel Mr. Jones *?' ' No, no, that is, yes.    I bel in fact, though to save my vote, I made you the agent,' an¬ swered Jones with visible embarrassment.
' I cannot consent, my dear husband,' said the lady, with great dignity, ' to be a party in any violation or evasion of the law. I can¬ not consent on your account—you whose hon¬ or is so dear to me. And I shall ihereiore keep the money, in order that I may still re- lain my respect for a law-loving, a law-honor¬ ing, a law-obeying husband. Dear Jones, kiss me.'
The lady was as good  as her word,  and Jones discovered, that in his atlempt to whip the old gentleman round  the stump, he  had lost a clean hundred. This is a fact.—J^r. y. Dispatch.
Sublimity of tbe Bii>>c.
The true reason why some literary men dis¬ believe the Bible, is the one given by Ur. Johnson:—" Because they are ignorant of ils contents." And the same may be the reason why so many leaders fail even to read this "book divine." Mrs. EllLs, in her "Poelry of Life," has well said :—¦
"VVith our established ideas of beauiy. giace, pathos and sublimity, eitherconcentra- ted in the minulest point, or exteniled to the widest lange, we can derive from the Scrip¬ tures a kind of gratification not lo be found in any other memorial of the past or present lime. From the worm that grovels in lhe dust, to the leviathan in the foaming deep— from Ihe moth that corrupts the secret treas¬ uie, to the eagle Ihat soars above the clouds— from the shepherd's fold—from the consuming locusts, to the cattle on a ihousand hills—from the rose of Sharon to Ihe cedar of Lebanon— from Ihe clear crystal stream, gushing from tho flinty rock to the wide waters of the del¬ uge—from the barren waste to lhe fiuilful vineyard, and the land flowing with milk and honey—from the lonely path of the wanderer, to the gathering ofa mighty multitude—from the tear that falls in secret, lo Ihe din of bat¬ lle and the shout of a triumphant host—from the collage to the throne—from the mourner clad in sackcloth, lo the prince in his purple robes—from lhe gnawing of the worm that dieth not, totheseraphic vision of the blessed; from the slill small voice, lo the thunders oi Omnipotence; from the depths of hell to the regions of eternal glory; there is no degree of beauty or deformity, no lendency to good or evil, no shade of darkness or gleam of light, that does nol come within the cognizance of the Holy Scriptures, and therefore thete is no expression or conception of the mind that may not here find a corresponding piciure; no 'thir.«t for e.xcellence Ihat may not meet wilh ils full supply: and no condition of humanity eicluded from the unlimited scope of adapta¬ tion and sympathy comprehended in the lan¬ guage and spirit of tho Bible."
" The Spirit and the Bride say co.me." —The Brookljn Eagle has an anecdote in re¬ lalion to Dr. Welch, who officiated in Brooklyn on Sabbaih last: —
The coolness ofa gentleman in Dr. Welch's church on Sunday night, was not more re¬ markable than that of the Rev. Doctor him¬ self, on an occasion equally embarrassing. It is said that, some years ago, a young couple came lo him lo be married, and desired lo have the ceremony performed in the chnrch after service. The malter was arranged according to their wishes,and lhe bridal party look their seals in the house of God ; bul how much ol the discourse they heard, it is not for us to say. We rather suspect, not much. Al lengih the Doclor had occasion to repeat a passage ol Scripture, .ind he did it so impressively, and it contained worda so in accordance with the tenor of their Ihoughts, that it called hack their allention.   Says the Doctor:—
"The spirit and the bride say come."
At these words the bride looked out from under her long eyelashes and inquired of her betrothed if they must go. He looked hesi¬ tatingly lor a moment, but as the Doctor was just then making one of his impressive pauses, he took it for granted that the bridal party was called for, and they all marched out of their seats and presented themselves be¬ fore lhe altar. The Doctor was laken all aback for a moment, but he soon comprehend¬ ed the movement and its cause ; and, coming down from tho pulbit withont a smile, he pro¬ ceeded to tie the knot; which having done, he dismissed the happy ones to their seats, and, stepping back into the pulpit, finished his discourse

Horse Charming—A Good Steed in a Bad Fix.—One of our neighbors, Mr. J.L. Gill, called on us yesterday morning with an invi¬ tation lo witness the e.xercise of certain pow ers of control over horses and olher animals, possessed by a Mr. Fanchet, now staying at the American.   A fine horse, belonging lo Mr. G., whose brilliant fancy had taught him lo despise the meagre accommodations of his nairow stall in the lower atory of the stable, took it into his head that he was well fitted to whisk his tail iu the upper house.   Taking advantage of an early hour, without the ring¬ ing of bell, or noiice to his fellow members, he slipped his halter, made his way up a very sleep and nairow pair of steps, lurned a sharp corner at the top, and  safely deposited him- se I m complete organization, on the top of a pile ot dry piovisions, in the form of a mow of uats in lhe hall sloty above.
The thing was lu gel him down  again.— Horses are proverbially  unhandy at t'oltinc down Slairs, and to throw him down and truss him up by the ordinary means, would be a matter of some difficulty and danger. Requisi¬ tion was made of the services of Mr. Fancher The horse seemed suddenly to have taken a violent and unaccountable fancy to that gen¬ tleman.    In a lew moments they were in close and intimate communication—seemingly as confidential as that of two locofocos plotting revolution.    By the employment of some agent which we did nol understand, and the nse of a moderate amount of force, the aspiring gen¬ ius soon became tractable, and was safely laid over on his side preporatory to his descent. He was then trussed up, slipped to the outer door of the loft, and by ths aid of a few planks soon deposited safely upon terra ftrma.

Sign.—Some young ladies, feeling aggriev¬ ed by the severity with which their friends speculated on their gay plumes, necklaces, rings, flounces, etc., went to Iheir pastor to iciir.r-ni= upii.Jon.
" Do you ItiniR, • saia tney, •• mere is any impropriety in our wearing these things'!"
" By no means," was the prompt reply, " when the heart is full of ridiculous no¬ tions, it is perfectly proper to hang out the sign."

For wrong, or ruin, guili. or guile, A score of oenlurit's has whirled,
And progress louking on the while. The Pharisee is known no more,
Judea is forgotten now, Yet live her idols as before, And throngs in mammon worship bow.
The hearl has slill ils foreign hate,
And still it has ita selfish loves, And guarding round its passion gate,
A savage Cerberus still moves ; The scent of lust, and lucre, yet
Is still as fresh upon the track, As when the Master's fiat mel
A troubled heart in ages back:
And persecution's fires burn,
The bondman hugs his weary chain, And slill lhe proud and haughly spurn
Thc suffering poor and weak, as then ; IIow strance the human heart's lhe same,
While all ihings else hnve changed with age ; " But stop." the skeptic may e.tclaim,
And point to Nature's piciured page—
" The star thai studs the evening sky.
The flower that blooms along ihe vale, The summer bird llml soars on high,
The ocean siream, and autumn gale, And alill as when lime first began,
And God himself has known no change ; Then why the hearl of mortal man,
Withoul ita wonted circuit range ? "      ''

The broadest channel of ils might.
Thence seek the crowded mart, where men

With counlless speed from sea to land ; The thousand works of art, that rise

Where THEY Learn it. — ".I JonU see where my children learn such things,' is one of the most common phrases in a raolher s vo¬ cabulary. A little incident, which we hap¬ pened to be an eye-witness to, may perhaps help to solve the enigma. We smiled a lillle at the tirae, but we have thought a good deal of it since, and we iiust not withont profit.
" Bub," screaraed out a bright-eyed little girl, somewhat under six years of age, to a youngster who was seated on a curbstone, making hasty-pudding of the mud in the gut¬ ter. " Bub, you good-for-nothing little scamp you, come right into the houae t^siTiinute, or I'll beat you till the skin comes off!
" Why, Angelina, Angelina, dear, what dtj you mean 1 where did you learn such talk f exclaimed her molher, in a wondering tone, as she stood on  the steps, courtesying to a friend.
Angelina looked up very innocently, and ansiveied, " Why, molher, yon see we are playing, and he's my liitle boy, and I am scolding him, just as you did me this morning, that's all.'l
