STEAM-A MIRACLE.

Sir Ralph Woodford told US that when this
steamer was first started, Gin Trinicad,) he and
a large party, as a mode Of patronlzlng the un,
der,aking, took "trip Of pleasure in her, thro
some of the Boo as of the main ocean. Almost
every one got sick outside, and as they returned
through the Boca Grande, there was no one on
deck but the man al the helm and himself
When they were in the middle Of the passage,
a small privateer, such as commonly INFESTED
the Gulf during the troubles in Colombia, was
seen making all sail for the coast of Trinidad.
Her course seemed unaccountabe; but what
was the surprise, when they observed that, on
nearing the coast, the pri, ateer never tackled,
and finally tina, she ran herself directly shore,
the crew al the same time leaping over the
bows and sides Of the vessel, and scamperlng
off,as if they were mad some up the mountains,
and others into the thickets. This was so
strange sight, that Sir Ralph Woodtord Or
dered the helmsmah 10 steer for the prlvateer,
that he might discover the cause OF 1t. When
they came close, the vessel appeared deserted:
Sir Ralph went on board Of her, and alter
searching various parts without finding any
one, he at length opened little side cabin, and
saw man lying on mat, evidently with some
broken limb. The man made an effort to put
himselfin posture of supplication; he was pale
as ashes, his teeth chartered, and his hair stood
on an end Msericordia! misericordla. Ave

Ralph asked the man what was he cause OF tne

1t was considerable time before the fellow

DOMESTIC ARTICLEs-soCIAL DUTIES.
A very proper degree Of attention is shown
in several parts of the United States in the Sc
lection of sheep and the raising of wool Sheep
of the Saxon breed have been imported at dill
erent ports during the present year. The brig
George and Henry from Bremen arrived at Bal
timore on Tuesday last, with twelve fine sheep,
selected from the best wool flocks in Saxony.
This breed Of sheep is the most fashionable,
perhaps the best; though Mr.. w. r. Dickin-
son of Steubenvile, Ohio, has thrown out the
following challenge: 81 will exhibit in June or
July next, at Philadelphia, or Baltimore, fifty
or one hundred heeces (washed or unwashed,)
from my own flock, to be compared with a cor
responding number Of fleeces from the flock of
any other gentleman in the United States

" to this notice" Mr. Dickinson is perhaps
the largest owner Of sheep in the United States;
and carries on the making of broad cloth on
large scale and with great success.
The Editor Of the "American Farmer" to
whose labors in SO many ways the farmers are
really SO much ndebted) publishes in his last
No the result Of some Investigations he has
instituted into the comparative qualities of dit
ferent sorts of wool. Among the papers is a
letter from Mr.. Sheppard, in the Eastern States,
large manufacturer, who acknowledges that
some specimensof American wool sent to him
by Mr. Skinner are finer than certain speci.
mems of Saxon wool also sent at the same time;
but he denies that this Saxon wool is Of the
first quality. He seems to think, that the best
Saxon wool is of superior quality to all
others.
The most f-sufficientAmerican will scarce
ly deny, that our merchants and others deserve
the public thanks who attempt 10 improve our
domestic animals, by the importation of for
egn breeds. The experiment was for long
time confined to the horse; and it succeeded ny
a remarkable degree. Too much attention can

hairs, and even elegant in its appearance. This
latter animal requires less to feed it, and is al

economy and public spirit are displayed by anas

While the prospects Of the farmer are so dis.
couraging; whilst -four is low; cotton down; to.
bacco comparatively so reduced; no staple in
deed high, except corn, on account Of the pc
culiar circumstances of the last season, the
farmers would find it to their interest to I'M
prove their lands, their fences, their out-houses;
TO seek out the best instruments OF agriculture,
and the best breeds of the domestic animals
AS we receive less than usual for our labor, we
ought to practice more economy, more indus
try, and more sagacity. 1t is wonderful how
many things we may find to do, If we carefully
SET about looking round us; and how many
things we can do without, which we have been
wont TO consider as necessary TO our happiness.
After all, among the greatest blessings which
good citizen can enjoy, are an independent
spirit, an active mind, heart free from guile,
and cheerful, contented disposition Most of
these are, in great degree, within our own
power, if we take the proper pains to acquire
them. They are, in greater measure than
we would suppose, independent OF the drought
Or the rain, the fertility Of the land, or the vicis
situde Of the seasons.

ARK ANSAS.

The survey of the road from Little ROCK TO

2o8 miles. The Choctaw boundary has also
been run and marked; sixty or eighty families

The Arkansas Gazette states that the qua

their lands on the Arkansas, which they coded
to the United States, in November, 1924, and
are now on their way 10 the Red River country,
under the direction of Mr.. Barraque, sub-agent,
TO join the Caddeau Indians, on the southern
border of the Arkansas territory. BY this re-

Cling to the world in rosy health,
And drink its sweet alluring pleasures,
Bow at the golden shrine of wealth,
And worship times bewitching treasures,
But know, the hour of pain will come,
And sickness bring its cloud ofsorow,
To wrap in gloom our happy home,
And quench the seafght of tomorrow.
Irvine We the green bay wreath of JOY,
And bind it on the brow ofgladness,
And let no warning voice alloy
No whispering spirit breathe Of sadness,
For full shall be his mead bliss,
whose hold on time so soon must sever,
Who wins no other world than this,
And with it-loses all for ever.
Pale sickness with its train of woes,
Misfortune, penury, and grief,
The mournful fate which autumn throws
Overthe sere and faded leaf
The good mans doom on earth may be,
And he may struggle long with fate,
But, sweet the rest his soul shall see
When worlds be wrecked and desolate.

POETRY.

THE MURDERED TRAVELLER....b By BRYANT
When Spring to woods and wastes around,
Brought bloom and JOY again;
The murdered travellers bones were found,
Far down narrow glen.
The fragrant birch, above him, hung
Her tassals il the sky;
And many vernal blossom sprung,
And nodded, careless, by.
The red bird warbled, as he wrought
His hanging nest o'erhead,
And fearless near the fatal spot,
Her Young the partridge led.
But there was weeping far away,
And gentle eyes, for him,
With watching many an anxious day,
Grew sorrowful and dim.
They little knew, who loved him so,
The fearful death he met,
When shouting DER the desert snow,
Unarmed, and hard beset.
Nor how, when round the frosty pole,
The northern dawn was red,
The mountain wolf and wild Cat stole
To banquet on the dead.
Nor how, when strangers found his bones,
They dressed tn hasty bier,
And marked his grave with nameless stones,
Unmoistened by a tear.
But long they looked, and feared, and wePt'
Within his distant home;
And dreamed, and started as they slept
For JOY that he was come
So long they lo6ked-but never spied
His welcome step again,
Nor knew the fearful death he died
Far down that narrow glen.

Valuable Improvements.

THE Subscriber, living at present near New
ark, has invented machine for cutting tubs,
buckets, &c. from whole timber. The ware is
cut and smoothed ready for hopping, &c. at the
same time by chissels, without manuel labour,
making the ware very handsome and durable,
leaving no cracks for dirt to gather in, nor can
such ware ever fall to sstaves'.
The cost of building one would be about $Q5,
and it would cut ware enough in one day, to pay
for itself. A single right may be had for FIFTY
dollars.
The Subscriber has also a patent for brick
making machine which tempers the clay and
mouds the brick by the labour of one horse,
and would make more bricks in day, than two
temperers and two moulders..
The cost of building, one is about TEN dollars,
and single right can be had for TWENTY dol
