I One Sunday, when it was very unlikely that he
could have received present of money, Dand1e was
observed to bring home loaf Mr. MI. being some
what surprised at this desired the servant to search
the room, to see if any money could be found
While she was engaged in this task, the dog seemed
quite unconcerned till she approached the bed, when
he ran to her, and gently drew her back from it. MIR
M then secured the deg which kept struggling and
growing, while the servant went under the bed, where
she found seveD-pence-hafpenny under bit OF cloh
but from that time he could endure the girl and
frequently observed to hide his money IN corner
of saw pit, under the dust.
A gentleman living with Mr. NJ going out to sup
per one evening, locked the garden gate behind him,
and laid the key on the top of the WALL which is about
seven feet high When he returned expecting to let
himself in the way, to his great surprise the key
could not be found, and he was obliged to go round
to the front door, which considerable distance.
The next morning strict search was made for the key
but still no trace Of it could be discovered. At last
perceving that the dog followed him wherever he went
he said to him, Dande you have the key-go fetch
it, Dandie Immediately went into the garden, and
scratched away the earth from the root OF cabbage
and produced the key which he himself mad undoupt
eddy hid in that place."

few days ago, we heard hearty and thrifty look
ing farmer inquirng, in store in Statestreet, if the
gentleman knew of place in store where he could
put one of his sons At the risk of being thought
impertiment, we asked the farmer if he knew of a
place in the country where boy wanted to turn
up the sod. He said he did not then: he wanted
hand while ago, but he had hired this man, pointing
to his companion, hale, hearty man of thirty-hve.-
This led TO some further conversation in which we
learned that the farmer thought it best TO send his
sons into the city, to learn to trade, particularly if they
were not of stout constitutions and supply their pla
ees by hiring men to work on his farm.
In this opinion the honest farmer is by no means
singular, but apprehend that the advocates of his
doctrine lie under a sad mistake. The love of spec
uation and the hopes of accommodating an ndepend
emit fortune or, at least competency, without &C
tive personal labor the curse of New England
To country boys at Is Is, the difficulties of trade
and the dangerous uncertainties of shop-keeping
nconcevable. They see nothing but and happi-
ness in the employment of the wedressed clerks of
the counting house, and forthwith they must leave the
farm where money is turned up in every furrow and
health sparkles on every blade of grass to throw away
half dozen years of the spring of life behind a
counter. Their minority is closed, and they must
then enter upon the world with little no improve

with no capital but their integrity and good name f

dangerous apprenticeship without loss of these quail
