SAVING CRUMBS.

When was a boy about twelve years
 of age, my father sent me on an errand to the house of a poor man. On my arrival,
 l found he had been smelling corn, and was gathering up the few grains that lay scat
 tered upon the ground. The curiosity and
 impertinence of an inquisitive boy, led me to inquire of him, why he was saving of triaes, or stingy' as I rather termed it, He replied in a very mild and placid tone, that it was not stinginess, but carefulness, that induced him to act thus savingly.- He further remarked that the philosophy of nature taught him, that saving crumbs was the. way to wealth. By this honest mans plain and simple illustration of the way to wealth. learned my first lesson in Natural Philosophy.' By Ari.hmeti- cal Analysis he demonstrated that all bod ies. however large, are made up of small particles of matter. The gentlcness ofhis department towards the rude inquiries of a wild, thoughtless boy. made an impression on my tender mind that time has not erased.
 Sixteen years afier this adventure was travelling ili a very beautiful and fourish- ing part of the young but prosperous state of Indiana. After fatiguing ride of some hours, through new and somewhat thinly settled part of the country, approached handsome farm, apparently cultivated, in the midst of which was situated neat com fortabIe dwelling-house and other conven- tent buildings, well arranged in every res spect. Immediately on this discovery, I determined to alight and rest myself an hour or two. Accordingly I called at the house, and was furnished with every thing neccs- sary to the refreshment and comfort of a weary traveller. Butjudge ofmy astonish- ment, gentle reader, when recognized in the possessor of the comfortable mansion and fine farm, the very man who, so long before, told me that the way to wealth was in saving crumbs. Although am still young, l have lived long enough to learn, by practical examples, the importance of saving every little trife.
 Let those who may read this little arti- cle, and who may herafter engage in the study of Natural Philosophy, remember that one principle, at least, may be demon Strated by an agreeable but practical illus lration-by saving many small particles a mass of immense value may soon be collec- ,ed.-Ohio paper.

From thr Ne.o Englond Farmer.

SMALL FARMS MOST BENEFICIAL.
 Those who have strictly investigated the subject, consider large farms comparative W less productive than sniall ones; while they at the same time impose upon their owners degree of labor much greater in proportion than would seem to be required by the mere difference of size. A farmer in moderate circumstances, with fifty OF sixty acres of land, for instance, will bring every inch of it into high state of cultiva- tion-the labor employed in preparing his grounds will be more than doubly compen- sated in his subsequent exemption from .oil ; while the owner of a wide spread ter- ritory of three or four hundred acres, which he has but sparingly supplied with nourish- meni, must work sedulousiy upon every a. ere during the progress of vegetation; and after all reap but meagre and inadequate harvest. As single acre of land highly cultivated, can be made to yield a crop C. qual 10 three or four scantily prepared, it must be obvious, that the extra labor in dressing the former, is abundantiy more than saved by the diminished labor in at tending it. A striking exemplidcalion of this fact may be viewed by any of our far mers, who will take the trouble to visit the grounds attached to the House of Industry at South Boston-there, they may have the theory and illustration directly before their eyes. These grounds, it is said, have pro- duced this season, from three to four tons per acre-which is two or three times the quantity of ordinary crops. So exubeIant was the grass that there actually was not room, upon the surface where it grew, sui hcient for the purpose of making the hay. And this was entirely owing, as we are told to the previous pains taken to enrich the soil by plentiful additions of suitable com post.
 Were the same policy pursued by the owners of large farms, there would be lite tie need of emigrating from the New Eng land to the Western States for the very tracts, which now, under a careless system of culture, barely afford sustenance for a single family, might be made to support three or four, and that too with much less toil and trouble, in proportion to the quan- tity cultivated. Many of our farmers grasp at the management of too spacious terri tory--the consequence is, they impose up- on themselves a state of slavery; they ac- cumulate nothing, except now and then an additional patch of land, which serves only to increase their toll. Were they on the contrary to confine their exertions to small Ter spots, while their crops could be rem dered equally if not more abundant, they would themselves enjoy life better--beeome more independent, and, with better share of frugality, more wealthy; they would acquire time to institute experiments and to examine improvements they would at tain what they scarcely now ever possess leisure e-whereby we mean, not the privl- lege of being lazy-but that sort of leisure which poor Richard describes as q time for doing something usefGl-time for study,

He was brought to this,
by vain prophecy. - Henry VII.

~ '"ih P'oPhoOy'-I IICHTy VII.
Ii was the morning of the montem.
Elton was a scene of the busiest prepar-
alton. Clavering was senior colleger,
and was therefore to be the chief actor
IN the pageant of the day. Morley, his
friend and cousin, was to be one of the
runners, of which he had provided
splendid fancy dress that bid fair to G.
clipse every OF her in the procession. At
the appointed hour, the merry collegers
proceeded in regular array to Salthill
where the captain ofthe academic band
ascending certain cmmence, fourished
a flag as preliminary 20 the busy pro-
ceedings Of the moraing. After his cer-
emony had been duly performed, the
runrefs set out upon their usual expe-
dition of authorized robbery, stopping
every passenger from the prince to the
bnrgeman, md demanding salt, an Eton-
and synonyme for money, under pain
of summary castigation.
As Morley was trayersing a retired
road, on his return from most profita-
bic predatory excursion, he observed a
a very extraordinary figure standing in
the centre of his path. lie appeared to
be man upwards Of fifty upon whose
brow, however. suffering rather than
years seemed to have indented many
deep lines, which impaired to his count
enance an expression ofsternnoss rather
than amenity. His eyes were dark, pro-
mlnent, and full of fire, showing that in
spite of wrinkles, which. trayersed his
forehead in broad and clearly def ed
ridges, the spirit was yet unsubdued by
the great conqueror Time; and that
though he had passed into the "yellow
leaf" his faculties were still green. His
hair was short, thick, and grizzled; his
eyebrows exceedingly busby aud pro-
mincnt, while the flowing beard whic h
almost covered his expansive chest, was
nearly white, except that portion of il
which grew high upon the cheek and
upper lip. This was quite black, and
blending With the exuberant growth
beneath his chin, gave him an appear
ance, though by no means repulsive
but somewhat approaching TO the super.
human. He had evidently been hand
some. The wreck of beauty was indeed
upon hls lineaments but they were never
:heless noble in rains. Though the hand
of time had begun to crumble the fabric,
still the grandeur of the present was en-
hanced by associations Of the past.
The strangers figure was tall, and of
fine proportions. He wore sort of
,unic, confined by thin silk girdlc which
showed j, to great advantage. 1t was
evident that he affected singularity, and
he certainly had attained his object. Up
on his head he had an undress hussar
cap, and from his shoulders hung map

the impression so omphatically forced
upon his mind, by the prophetic caution
which he had received to beware of Cla-
vering. Time, and change of scene,
however. at length weakened In his mind
the freshness of this strange event; and
the remembrance oft eventually became
no longer painful.
To account for the bitterness of the
strangers expressions against Ciavering
IT will suffice to state ,ha the latter had
seduced, and heartlcssly abandoned, n
poor, but amiable girl in tho neighbor-
hood. This, Morley knew; yet such is
tho force of that happy liberality of the
better born Of the land, when IN stafu pu-
piHdri at those great fountains of learn
ing, our public schools, that he never al
lowed il for n moment to engender a
thought, that such trifing accident
could in any way operate upon Claver-
'ng's friendship for him. He therefore
sould not make up his mind to suspect
his cousins integrity Of feeling towards
himself; and, in spite of the strangers
warning, treated him, as ho had ever
done, with confidence and regard.
-Four years soon passed. aud the
friendship of the cousins.had nc, aba,ed.
Clavering had passed his academic orde,
al, and taken his degree, though his char
acter a, college had been any thing but
unblemished. He had acquil ed some
eqnivocal propensi,ies, md had been
suspected of some very questionable nets
which had nearly been the cause of his
expulsion from the university. This was
not anknwn to Morley and occasio nally
the warning of n scn,hing fash cross'd
his memory, leaving momentnry pang
at his heart; but TINT regard which had
been nurtared in infancy aud matured in
manhood, was too deeply rooted within
him 10 be staggcredby what might, after
all, be no,l,iag more than A whimsical
caution, the nero chance cbulli,ion ot
madness. Shortly, however, after Cln
vering quilted the university, he associa.

racters were ut the best doubtful, and
Morley was earnestly advised TO break
