lie following story is told of lir. Farr; It seems that ho did not live happily with his first wife, and Tad a cat that was a groat favorite. When ie returned home one day and was going into his library, the feeling of a previous domestic feud not having subsided on either part, on opening the room door something popped forcibly on his face. Upon examination he found that his favorite cat lad been hanged and placed in that situation to annoy him. Upon discovering this ie suddenly hastened to the portrait of his wife and cut the throat, exclaiming; thus would 1 serve the original if the law would permit me.

This reminds us of a squabble. A tradesman and his wife had a quarrel. In order to appease their fury, they threw all their portable furniture out the window, ripped the ticking, and sot all the feathers afloat in the open air, then rushing to the banisters of the stairs, and jreakirig her arm upon them with an insane energy, exclaimed. Now you scoundrel you must pay for a surgeon. TO ysum Of the City and County if Lancaster.

At such a moment as this, when a hush and slumber is upon the vis. ible world, we seem to hear the waves of time boating around, and hurrying us onward to eternity.

Which ever way we direct our view, we see new beauties. Tho heavens above and the earth beneath contain exhaustless treasureand boundless delights. Let those who are from necessity confined within the walls of cities sometimes emerge from their smoking atmosphere, and respire a purer air in the country, where their hearts may be rejoiced with a pure and innocent plea-sure, and their souls rise up to heaven in aspirations of praise and gratitude to the Author of every blessing. Sturm. There is a bear story, current down east, which the Transcript ought to have.

A speculator, hunting for a timber lot, climbed up on the stump of a tree, which having been cut in a very deep snow, was about nine feet high. His object was to attain a position where he could see all the pine trees near by, and to look for a navigable stream- to float his The stump was hollow, but our land buyer was so intent upon the fortune he expected to make, that ho became careless of his footing, like the milk maid in the fable, and in the midst of his golden visions he stepped backward and fell plump into the hollow tree. In vain he tried to ascend. There he wa3 bent up, with not a iving soul within ten miles of him. Ilis lorrid fate seemed inevitable.

He thought no more of buying lands, but abandoned limself to despair, and a lingering death starvation. The wind signed mournfully among the trees whose branches waved over the inaccessible mouth of his wooden cavern. No other sound was leard, from man or beast or bird when suddenly he was aroused by a scratching outside. The next moment the hole a-jove him was darkened by some dense jody descending towards him it proved to be an enormous black bear. As soon as the shaggy posteriors of the animal came within reach of our hero, he grasped the long hair firmly with both hands.

Bruin, not knowing what sort of a bed fellow he had to deal with, scratched with all his might for the top of the stump, and drew the land buyer up with him. Kennebec Jour. Fortnation of Character. A taste for useful reading is an effectual preservative from vice. Next to the fear of God implanted in the heart, nothing is a better safeguard than the love of good books.

They aro the handmaids of virtue and religion. They quicken our sense of duly, unfold our responsibilities, strength en our principles, confirm our habits, in-ipiro us with love of what is right and useful, and tenches us to look with disgust upon what 13 low, and grovelling, and vicious. It is with good books as with pray, er; tho use of them will either make us leave off sinning, or leave off reading them. And no man who has a fondness for this exercise is in much danger of becoming vicious. We are secured from a thousand temptations to which he would otherwise bo exposed.

Ho has no inducement to squander away his time in vain amusements in tho haunts of dissipation, or in the cor rupting intercourse of bad company. He has ahigher and nobler source of enjoyment to which he can have access. He can he happy alone; and is indeod never less alone tkan when alone. Then he enjoys the sweetest, the purest, the most improv ing society, the society of the wise, tho great, and the good; and whilo he holds delightMconverse with these his compan ions an! friends, he grows into a likeness to then and learns to look down as from an eminence of purity and light, upon the low born pleasures of the dissipated and profligate. The high value of menial cultivation is another weighty motive for giving attendance to reading.

What is it that mainly distinguishes a man from a brute! Knowledge. Wbat makes the vast difference there is between savage and civilized nations? Knowledge. What forms the principle difference between inen as they appear in the same society Knowledge. What raised Franklin from the humble station of a printers boy to the first honors of his country? Knowledge. What took Sherman from his shoemakers bench gave him a seat in Congress, and there made his voice to be heard among the wisest and best of his compeers Knowledge.

What raised Simpson from the weavers loom to a place among the first of astronomers Knowledge. Knowledge is power. It is the philosophers stone the true alchemy that turns every thing it touches into gold. It is the sceptre that gives us our dominion over nature the key that unlocks the store of creation, and opens to us the treasures of the universe Mechanics Magazine.

Lancaster, Feb. 19, 1833. 150-te. .1 Parody. Thai It are all a Hading show, For man'i illusion given Their amilei of joy, their teari of woe, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow, Theres not one true in sewn, And false is the flash of Beautys eye, As fading hues of even And love, and laughter, alls a lie And hope's awakened but to dio, Theres not one true in seven.

Poor mushroons of a sunny day Yot bloom, and be forgiven For lifes at beat a dream away Dull, drowsy thought Ill join the gay, And romp with alt the seuen. The depravity of man, and the endearing constancy of female love, are here most vividly most inimitably depicted by Dr. PtncrvAL. He comes not I have watched the moon go down, But yet he cornes not once it was not so, He thinks not how those bitter tears do flow, The while he holds his riot in that town. Yet he will come and chide, and I shall weep And he will wake my infant from its sleep, To blend its feeble wailing with my tears.

I had a husband once, who lovd me now He over wears a frown upon his brow, And feeds his passion on a wantons Up, As bees, from laurel flowers a poison sip But yet I cannot hate there were hours, When I could hang for ever on his eye, And time, who stole with silent swiftness by, Strewed as he hun led on, his path with flowers. 1 lovd him then he lovd me too my heart Still finds its fondness kindle, if he smile The memory of his love will neer depart And he often stung me with a dart, Venomd and barbd, and wastes upon the vile, Caresses, which his babe and mine should share Though he should spurn me, I will calmly bear gf His madness and should sickness come, and lay Its paralyzing hand upon him, then 1 would with kindness all my wrongs repay, Until the penitent should weep and say, How injured and how faithful I had been. Remcmlwr me. There are not two other words in the language that call back a more fruitful Main of past remembrance of friendship, than these.

Look through your library, and when you cast your eyes upon a vol-ume that contains the name of an old companion it will say remember me. Have you an ancient Album the repository of the mementos of early affection turn over its leaves stained by the finger oftime sit down and ponder upon the names en- roled on them each spoke, each says remember me. Go into the crowded church yard, among the marble tombs read the simple and brief inscriptions that perpetuate the many departed ones they too have a voice that speaks to the heart of the living; and it says remember me. Walk in the hour of evening twilight, and the scene of our early rambles, the well known paths, the winding streams, the over spreading trees, the green and gently sloping banks will recall the dreams of juvenile pleasure, and the recollections of youthful compan ions? they too bear the treasured irijunc tion remember me. And this is all that is left at last of the wide circle of early friends.

Scattered by fortune or called away by death, or thrown without band by the changes of circumstance, or of character in time we find ourselves left alone with the recollection of what they were. Some were our benefactors, and won us by their favours, others, were kind, and amiable and affectionate and for this we esteem them others again, were models of virtue, and shared out praise and admiration. It was thus a little while, and then, the chances of the world broke in upon the delightful intercourse it ceased. Yet, still, we do all we can to discharge the one sacred and honest and honorable debt we remember them. tribute, too, of remembrance which we delight to pay to others, we desire for ourselves.

The wish for applause; the thirst for fame, the desire that our names should shine down to posterity in the glory of recorded deeds is a feverish, un-hiippy passion, compared with the ambitous desire to retain even beyond the span of life, the affections of the warm hearted few who shared our joys and sorrows in the world. I once read the brief inscription Remember me, on a tomb stone in a country church yard, with a tear, that the grave of Buonaparte would not have called forth. But whom do we always remember with affection the virtuous, the kind, the warm hearted, those who have endeared themselves to us by the amiablenes3 of theiT characters. It is the mind, the disposition the habits, the feelings of our friends which attach us to them most strangely which form the only lasting bond of affection which secure our affectionate remein brance. Then, if we would be remembered with the kindliest, if we would be embalmed in the memory of those we desire that when fortune, or fate, shall separate us from our friends they may long think of we must possess ourselves the same character we love in others.

Draining. Continues an important operation in huS' andry, and one in which we are lamenta )ly deficient. Our wet grounds abound in the food of plants, and constitute some of ourbest lands when discreetly husbanded. But in their natural state they will not jroduce healthy vegetation. The culti vated crops which we attempt to raise up on them, are inferior and sickly, and as mere pasture, the grassey are coarse, sedgy and indifferent.

Infertility is caused by the exclusion from the soil of air and beat, the essential agents in decomposing the lood, and stimulating the growth of plants. Hence the accumulation of vegetable mat ter in swamps. Draining operates i sc ve ral ways to induce fertility. By carrying off the water, the soil becomes loose and warm the food of plants is thereby rendered soluble stagnant air and stagnant water, alied deleterious to vegetable and animal vitality, are got rid of and salutary and necessary circulation is afforded to air and water in the soil. Grounds are rendered wet and unproduc tive either by the accumulation of retention of surface waters, or by the supplies of springs which rise below the soil.

The first are remedied by a main open drain carried through the lowest part of the ground, and by lateral ones, cut diagonally or at right angles with the main one; in sufficient numbers to drain the ground. The width should correspond with the depth, and the latter should in no case be less than two or three feet, and if possible should terminate in the hard or subsoil A drain of 3 feet deep, and 4 feet broad at top and one at the bottom, exhibits gooc proportions. Lateral drains may be somewhat smaller. The earth taken from the drain should be thrown back and spread, or carted off that the surface water may freely pass into them. If the earth is pealy, or what is turned muck it affords an excellent dressing for uplands.

It is soon converted into feod for plants by its admixture with the earths particularly sands. Care must be observed to keop the drains open, and to remove obstructions to the free passage of the water. An eco-nomical method of keeping drains in order is to practice what is called scouring. It is performed in the summer months, when showers have produced an abundant flow of water, by men commencing, with hoes and spades, at the upper end, and passing down in the drain, loosening or throwing out in the way, the earth and other obstructions which have accumulated there. The current then facilitates the cleaning operation.

The business of ditching, like every other branch of labor, is improved by practice and by system. An experienced hand will not only perform more than one who is raw, but will perform it much better. It is important to preserve the slopes entire and unbroken. To do this successfully my practice is, in the first place to draw a line on the two exterior edges, and to cut the depth of thefspade one of these lines, in an angle of the intended slope. In the next place the operator takes a spit from the centre, and so far from the outside, that the perpendicular cut shall not disturb the earth below the slope.

When the centre is thus thrown out, the face of the slope is then readily and symmetrically formed, and a second spit then taken from the centre as before, and the operation thus continued until the drain is finished. The price of a four feet drain varies from eighteen to fifty cents per rod, according to the soil, and the obstructions which are to be operated upon. The best season for cutting open drains is August and September, because there is generally less water then to encounter, and that the slopes have time to dry and consolidate before the frosts of winter. B. Gennessee Farmer.

The last Time. In one only situation can a man be placed where the awful doubt is converted into a tremendous certainty not the 'sick patient on the bed of death, whose pulse beats faintly, and whose subsiding seems to announce the coming of bis release. He may linger for hours he may recover, the ray of hope beams, and those who love him share its brightness. His hours are not numbered. Tho sinking mariner clings to the last fragment of his ill-fated ship, and holds on while nature gives him strength and as he mounts the toppling wave strains his anxious eyes in search of assistance.

A vessel may heave in sight he may be drifted to some kindly shore his fate is not decided. Tho unhappy wretch alone who lives his last day in hopeless and unmitigated misery, is the sentenced convict on the eve of execution he sees and hears all that is passing round him with the terrible consciousness that it is all for the last time." He beholds the sun gleaming through the bars of his cell, in all his parting brightness, and knows he sees his golden rays for the last time, he hears the prison clock record the fleeting minutes has fastly eeting to him through the night each lour rounds to him for the last time Seven strikes upon the bell at eight he dies, His wife, his children, his beloved parents, come to him he stands amidst his family in the full possession of his bodily lealth, and all his mental faculties. He clasps them to his heart they go. The door of his cell closes, and shuts them from lis sight; he has seen them for the last time. He is summoned to the scaffold the engine of death stands ready he feel the jure air of heaven blow upon his face the summer sun shines brightly, for the last time; he sees the green trees, and ten thousands familiar to us all.

The cap is drawn over his tear fraught eyes the ob-ects vanish, never, never to be seen again jy him. He hears for the last time the sacred word of God from human lips in another moment the death struggle is on iim, and he breathes for the last To him alone, then, is the exit from this world of cares regular and certain in every other case it is a mystery when the last time' shall come.

In the good old times when the Plymouth Colony was truly the land of steady habits, there occasionally sprung up a volatile, fun loving character, whose habits and disposition formed a striking contrast with the upright and conscientious bearing of the cold and formal Puritans. An anecdote of two of this class, living near each other, will afford an apt illustration of the text One was possessed of some dozen fine sheep, who having a decided antipathy to confinement, woult sometimes trespass on the enclosures of their neighbor. He having caught them in one of those over acts, determined to inflict summary vengeance on them ant their owner. With this intention he pro ceeded to catch them, and running his knife through one of their hind legs, be tween the tendon and the bone immedi ately above the knee joint, put the other leg through the hole. In this condition the woolly flock decamped, leaving one quarter less tracks than when they came The feeder of the sheep kept his own counsel; and soon after his neighbors! hogs having broken or dug into his enclo sure, he took advantage of this opportuni ty for retalliation, by cutting their mouths from ear to ear.

In this way the four foot ed grunters rather chap fallen as may be supposed, made their way to their own quarters. The owner of the swine made his appearance in a great rage, declaring that his hogs were ruined, and that he would have redress. His neighbor made answer, that he was not the cause for, said he, the fact is, my friend, I didnt cut open them are hogs mouths, but see! my sheep running on three legs, they split their mouths a laughin U'ii mtaa axaoj trims a Of the City and County of Lancaster.

FREDERICK BERN. March 14, 1833. 163-te A View of Matrimony in three Different Lights. The marriage life is always an insipid, a vexatious, or a happy condition. The first is, when two persons of no taste meet together, upon such a settlement as has been thought reasonable by parent and conveyancers, from an exact valuation of the land and cash of both parties.

In this case the young ladys person is no (more regarded than the house and (improvements in purchase of an estate but she goes with her fortune rather than her fortune with her. Those make up the crowd or the vulgar of the rich, and fill up the lumber of the human race, without beneficence towards hose below them, or respect towards thoseabove them; and lead a despicable, independent and useless life, without sense oi the laws of kindness, good nature, mutua offices, and elegant satisfactions which ftw from reason and virtue. The vexatious life arises from a conjunction of two persons of qufck taste and resentment, put together for leasons well known to their friends, in wlich especial care is taken to avoid (what tley think th chief of evils) poverty an) ensure to them riches, with every evil beside. These good people live in a constant restraint before company, and when alone revile each others person and conduct. In company they are in purgatory, then by themselves, in torment.

The happy marriage is where two petsons meet and voluntarily make choice of fach other, without fortune or beauty. Tkese may still love in spite of adversity or sickness. The former we may in some measure defend ourselves from the other is the common lot of humanity. Love has nothing to do with riche3 or state. Solitude, with the person beloved, has a pleasure even in a womans mind beyond show or pomp.

Fields and Gardens. Thi cultivation of fields and gardens is one of the most delightful of all occupations and perhaps the only one the toil of whichls recompensed with much pleasure. The ireater part of laborious employments, confine a man to his shop, or within his Louse whilst he who devotes himself to fcricultural pursuits, breathes always pure ap, and enjoys continually the grand spectajle of nature. The azure sky is his canopj, and the earth embroidered with flower! his carpet. Far removed from the muskjjatmosphere of towns, a thousand beautiful objects present themselves to his view, jnd he need never want a pure spring of delght, or real banquet of pleasure.

Soon I the rays of morning beam light on the eap, he rises with the lark, and hastes away his fields brushiag, as he passes, the gli tering dew drops, and inhaling the fresh inbreathed air, sweeter than the roses erfume. The oyful songs of the birds gladden the skies, nd they express their loves in a thousaul sportive sallies. Their sweet carols lark the pleasure they feel in the new and the full chorus swells with the pr ises of the God of nature, whose blessing they again receive in the returning inf jence of the sun, in their food, and in'tlie weet attraction of love and gaiety. And surely no heart can remain unmoved amid tins scene of joy and festivity nor can the mind contemplate a more august spectacle than the perfection of God in the o-randeur of his designs and the beauty of his works. What contributes to render agriculture and gardening more particularly pleasing j3 the constant variety and succession of objects always presented to us, which relieve the wearisomeness of continued uni-formitv and undeviating sameness.

We continually observe a vast variety of plants, fruits, herbs, and trees, growing up under our auspices, and assuming every diversity of appearance. Nature leads her follow-ers through a thousand flowery paths, ever The Newspapers occupy the position in society that tho priests formerly did people advise with them, confess to them, am 00k up to them for protection. They give information on all subjects; they moralize, legislate, censure and direct With them we begin the day with them we end it. We talk of them, think of them, and when they are delayed, hunge for them. The press is all pervading; it begins with supplying us with a house ora servant; it goes on to teach us how to live and make laws; it brings intelligence from every quarter of the globe and appears to know more of what is passing under our very noses than we ourselves do.

Does any great man do wrong, is his offence beyond the reach of law, let him beware not of the remorse of conscience, as informer times, but of the more terrible power of the public opinion let him apprehend exposure publication This is the torture of civilization, no transaction is too private not to be whispered into the car of the press no personage is too high not to be visited with its terrors. The Press is the modern Inquisition it is the great secret tribunal at which heresy in social matters, whether in the lowly or the lofty, is instantly brought to trial. It has this superiority over the institution Loyala that though its decisions are taken in private, they are publicly declared, and if erroneous, are liable to be proved so; not however without an infliction of some injury. An Auto dafe on the part of the press is a fearful thing. A man may be rescued at the stake, it is true, but the public is careless of its association, and of-tcn confounds in its memory the criminal and persecutor.

Publicity according to the present notions, is itself an evil and tho press has this power of infliction by its very nature.
