OLD MR.. PARSONS.

Speaking of old Mr.. Parsons reminds
US of a story.-When he first engaged in
navigation, he kept ship chandlery and
grocery at the head Of Hancock's wharf,
(it's Boston we are speaking OF and had
fitted out three schooners loaded with
American produce for the West Indies,
which, with his stock in store, constituted
all his property. For fitting out these
vessels he became considerably in debt,
and as they had been long absent without
being heard from, IT was supposed they
were lost.-The tradesmen found it incon-
venient to wait longer for their pay, and
were at length clamorous. Mr.. p. whose
cash was expended, dealt out most of his
goods to his creditors. There was one
blacksmith. however, TO whom be was
considerably in arrears, but who, never
mentioned to him the subject Of his debt.
Mr.. p. called upon him and told him il he
ever expected to be paid, TO come and re.
ceive bis quota of goods, as it would soon
be too late. "Never mind that" said
Vulcan, 4" am not worried, if You are
not" A short time afterwards, one cold
winter morning, Mr.. P. was reused from
bis sumbers by a loud knocking at his
door. and on popping his head out of the
window he saw his friend Of the bellows.
I" MIR. Parsons" said he, 81 believe that
is one OF your scbooners just this side Of
the castle" He lost no time in throwing
on bis clothes and repairing 10 the wharf,
and TO his joy found the blacksmi;h's sus-
picions correct. She had arrived with
return cargo of gold and silver, having
sold all her produce at a great profit. In
less than forty eight hours the other two
arrived under similar circumstances. This
was the foundation of the great fortune
he afterwards accumulated. tits needless
TO say that the blacksmith was paid TO his
hearts content-a more than that, on
the return of each annual thanksgiving,
till the end of Mr.. P's. life, his family was
presented with box Of raisins and bar
rel Of flour. Such was The character Of
that eminent merchant, EBENEzER PAR

Caution 10 lSportsmea Two young men
embarked on Monday. on a gaming cxcur.
sion, 10 the harbor--tbe tide being some
what low, many small islands which are
covered at high tide, were prominent, and
presented inviting nocks OF game. To
these he young sPartsmen directed their
course, and, upon arriving, pulled the boat
upon the flats and left il there. After be.
ing absent short time they returned again
TO the spot, but IN the mean time the tide
had arisen and fioatcd the boat some dis
lance on. Their exertions to recover it
were frnitless, and they attempted in vain
TO swim TO the shore, from which they
were mile distant. Knowing that the
water would before long cover the spot
upon which they stood. they collected
such materials as the place afforded and
erected small mound. four feet high,
which was braeed with their guns; This
they were compelled TO ascend, and re.
mained upon il tili nearly midnight. when
The interval between the tides allowed
them a short season 10 repair 10 the
mound, and make preparations for the
succeeding tide, which arose more than q
foot above the emincnce. On Tuesday
morning they were discovered from the
shore, and taken from that perilous situa-
ton, much exhausted; and conveyed 10
their friends, who bad become seriously
alarmed at their prolonged absence. ---.Ne,e-

been estimated at the rate OF 90 per cent
per annum. The amount Of Wool raised
last year, and brought into market, was
about sixty millions Of pounds, this year
it is probably seventy five millions, aud
next year it will be ninety. England pro
duces 100 millions pounds annually, and
as all her grazing lands are taken up, she
cannot be expected 10 produce much more
She imports on an average 90 millions
