MANUFACTURES.

Gen. George Mcclure has established
a woolIen mandatory at Bath, in the
county of Steuben. He invites the far.
mers to bring him their wool, under a
promise that he will manufacture it as
well as John Ball can-eyen good e.
nough for our dandiesi" Gen. Mcclure
has in operation one of Brewster's lately
invented spinning machines, which spins
by water power; and asserts, that "a girl
or boy, 8 or 10 years Of age, will spin
from so to 100 lbs. of wool day on a
machine Of $50 spindles-whereas the
same quantity cannot be spun in the COM
mon way with hand jeunies, by less than
8 or 9 hands. So much for Yankee 10
genuity."
We heartily wish success TO the above
mentioned enterprise, aud should like to
see such an establishment commenced in
the vicinity of Ithica. No place affords
greater advantages. Here are unrivalled
water privileges--we are surrounded by
country fertile in grain and pasturage,
peculiarly favourable to the rearing Of
large flocks Of sheep; and have conven-
lent communications to every district that
would furnish materials or markets for
manufactures.

Gather up the fragments, that nothing
may be lost, was family order, given
after plentiful meal, by one who could
instantly command a supply of bread.
The power Of Providence is exercised
with the same wise economy, as the pow
err Of miracles. Neither of them is pros
tituted to the qualification OF luxury, or
the encouragement of negligence aud la
illness; 10 the divine works there is no
profuseness, and there ought to be none
in ours. Providence is bountilul, but
not wasteful; its blessings are bestowed
freely. but not lavishly. We are to re-
ceive them thankfully, and to use them
frugally; not lose them by carelessness,
nor squander them away in extravaganza.
The man who gathers up what Heaven
gives, aud who suffers nothing to be lost,
will always have supply. He who re-
ceives not what is offered, or preserves
not what is cast into his hands, will al
ways be in want.

Office What jilustri0us examples for
modem patriots modern philosophers and
modern Plough Boysi The life of the
Plough Boy is Indeed life of toll; but il
is toll sweeteDev BY the prospect IF sure
reward. He does not toll to be rich, in
the same sense thal the deyotees Of specu-
tiation do, who think nleanly Of every en-.
terprize which Is not likely TO result 10 a
profit Of thousands or millions. But the
riches which he tolls for consist of compe.
tency, peace of mind, and that health of
body which honest labour produces and
preserves. His specutations, therefore,
rarely iail-ard When they do SO, he can
not impeach his own rashness or presump-
ton for his hopes we're humble, and bis
means adapted To his end nor does his
failure plunge ban into the same gulf of
ruin, which too 1iten receives the specu-
tator, who hazards The property Of his
neighbor or friead, as well as his own.
The Plough BoJ7may lose now and then
the fruits of his lsbour. But what he
loses ID one season, be may regain in
another. But our dashing gentry, who
never think Of The means, so long as the
end appears briliant, when they get fall,
are apt to fiud that many seasons must re-
turn before they eau expect to rise again,
II ever. How happy, then, is the Plough
Boy, whose honest industry seldom fails
of q reasonable reward aud whose whole
life, if he do notsuffer himself to be be
irayed by little and lille. ialo ideness
and dissipation, is scene Of tranquility
and temperate enjoyment. in which all
the faculties Of Ills nature have their full
operation, and contribute TO the compile
ton Of his happiness.
/ am writing this brief essay, as it
happens, during a.momentary retirement
among rural scenery. Before me are
spread out iGnumerable flowers, with all
their variegated hues, mingled with the
lively verdure Of fiourishing field. A
group Of young Plough Boys are lettering
and Wrestling upon the green, at the close
of a well spent day. A calf is frisking in
sight of my window, unconscious Of his
future destiny beneath the butchess knife !;
and fine pair Of steeds, released from
the confinement Of the stall, appear to re
joice in their liberty, as they prance and
gamboi over the ground. In all this scene
is exhibited nought1bnt the beauty, free
dom aud simplicity of nature. 1t fills the
mind with such images OF primevai bappi,
ness, such pleasing Realities, and soothing
anticipations, that ore cannot but depre-
cate, 10 bitter stra; slie laxury and dis,
sipation, whicis, little BY tittle, have spread
disorder throughout the moral world, and
deprive SO many Of our species of their
taste for pure, rational and inexhaustible
pleasures.

ANRcDoTE OF MOZART.

His charity was asked one day, 10 the
streets of Vienna, by person WHO had
known better days; and, as the great mu-
stefan knew better how to heap up Siiver
sounds than siluer coin, he felt bis pockets
for the poor fellow, in vain. Uneasy at
his want of money at such moment, a
thought suddenly struck him, and he asked
the man TO wait while he went into a tav.
ern, where, calling for pen and ink, he
sat down and composed a minute on the
spot then, folding up the paper, be re-
turned, and, giving it TO his petitioner,
told him TO carry it to music publisher
10 the city, who would give him some
thing when he saw the contents. He did
SO accordingly, and received we think
flor we repeat the story from memory,
five double ducats. The circumstance
deserves to be recorded, and the minute
itself is worthy Of the occsSion. 1t ex.
hibits a singular mixture of science
(which Mozart, perhaps took a just pride
In exhibiting at such sudden call, with
that exquisite natural beauty which is SC
apparent throughout his works. Itteach
es us this practical lesson-tbat there are
few, if any, who want the po,cer Of doins
good 10 some way or other, if they arr
possessed of the desire.-Lond. pap.

In the 18th century, the greater part
OF the property lying on the river Ell
tricke, belonging to Scott of Harden, who
made his principal residence at lakewood
Tower, a border house Of strength still
remaining upon that river, William Scott,
afterwards Sir William son Of the head
OF this family, undertook an expedition
against the Murrays OF Elibank, whose
property lay at few miles distant. He
found his enemy upon their guard, was
defeated and made prisoner in the act OF
driving offthe cattle, which he had col
lected Tor that purpose.--Our hero, sir
Gideon Murray, conducted his prisoner
to the castle, where his lady received
him with congratulations upon his victory,
and enquiries concerning the fate to which
he had destined his prisoner -" The
gallows," answered Sir Gideon, for he
is said already to have acquired the honor
of knighthood, I" to the gallows with the
marauder." " Hoot ma, sir Gideon"
answered the considerable matron in her
vernacalar idiom, " wud ye hang the
winsome young Laird of Harden, when
ye have three iiLfavored daughters to
marry % IS Right, right" answered the
baron, who catched at the idea, he
shall either marry our daughter. mickle-
mouthed Meg, or strap for it," Upon
this alternative being proposed to the pris-
oner, he, upon the first offer stoutly pre-
ferred the gibbet to mickle-mouthed Meg,
for such was the nick name Of the youog
lady, whose real name was Agnes. But
at length, when he was literally led forth
to execution, and saw no other chance for
escape, he retraced his ungallant resolu-
ton, and preferred the typical moose OF
matrimony to the literal cord of hemp.
Such is the tradition established in both
families, and often iocularly referred to
on the border. Ii may be necessary TO
add, that mickle- monthed Meg and her
husband we're very happy pair, and had
a very large family, to each of whom sir
William Scott bequeaihed good estates,
besides reserving a large one for the
eldest. "-Lond. paper.

A MORAL LESSON IN RHYME.

A MORAL LESSON IN RHYME.
He that makth haste to be rich, shall
not be innocent.
Too many, nowadays, tits clear,
OF honesty are so bereft,
That could they gain penny clear,
They'd make their right hand cheat their left
The fox, the monkey, and the drone,
All in their composition meets
Three sorts of brutes unite in one
The finish'd swindler to complete.
And though their only God is gain,
No honest method will they try,
Ev'n Mammon's favours TO obtain,
The glittering dust they prize so high.
They heap up cash at Others cost
By dint of some pick-pocket plan,
And every cent they gain is lost,
A dead loss to some better man.
They live BY dint of dirty art.
A life that's one continual trick,
Vile poIypusses'on the heart
OF our great body polite.
Such sharpers swarm throughout the land,
OF filthy lucre so intense,
They'd pawn their heads for cash in hand
And sell their sordid souls for cents.
Each store and tavern brings to view
A gang of idlers, who contriye
To live, and some make money too,
BY skinning honest men alive.
And these are muttering doleful stuff
About the times sc so awful hard,
Though they might compass cash enough,
Could they sell knavery by the yard.
And though they know that they must pay
For all these things in lfe's account,
They never heed the reckoning day,
Nor dread its terrible amount.
