Economy.

The great art OF acquiring wealth consists
in saving and in sacrificing some present
enjoyment for the sake Of future case
Wastefuf and extravagant people sometimes
get rich, but the examples OF success oil such
are the mere exceptions to general rule
We are not the advocates Of a mean and par
simonious system Of expenditure. A rational
participation in the comforts and luxures of
life as far as they can be prudenily INDUCED
in without going beyond ones income, is
legitimate and proper, whilst rigid SELF
denial or ordinary indulgence from spirit
of avarice, is clearly culpable. There is.
however, one species Of economy which no
one should ever lose sight Of, whether he be
rich or poor or in moderate circumstances.
1t is that nothing should be ieasted that can
be applied 10 use The late Stephen Girard
was eminently remarkable for his attention
to small matters. AT his farm below the
city, which he used TO visit almost every day
in summer not in coach and four, but in
an old shabby chase with rustic looking
horse, all his arrangements were conducted
with the striclest regard to economy. We
are told that in the fall season when he used
to kill his cattle for making the beef with
which he provisioned his ships, not parti-
Gle of the animal was lost. After sailing
the meat. and selling the hides TO the tanners,
the horns to the comb makers, and the hoofs
and the paunch to the vendors of cow-heel
and tripe, he sold the blood to the sugar re-
iners. Many a gentleman farmer would
have thought attention to such small matters
beneath his notice, just as many female
house keeper thinks it beneath her notice to
see that her servants do not put more wood
on the FIRE than is necessary to produce the
degree OF heat that is required or throw
into the street meat, vegetables and bread as
is done in some families almost every day

The American Farmer.
BY NICHOLAS BIppLE.

a '''f' Nfs <h""'tss OtJOft Htc n HtUtttpNtu DO-
eiety for the promotion Of Agriculture.
If | have failed to prove that the pursuits
of Agriculture may be as lucrative as other
employments, it will be an easier task to vim
dictate their pleasure and Importance. Ineed
not dwell on that retirement, one of the pur-
est enjoyments Of this life, and the best prep
araiion for the future, on those healthy occu-
pations, on that calmness OF mind, on that
spirit Of manliness and independence, which
naturally belong TO that condition These
are attractions which must have deep roots
in the human heart, since they have, in all
times, fascinated at once the Imagination,
and won the judgment OF men. Blu, may
be allowed to say that in this nation. agri.
culture is destined to attain its highest hon.
ors, and that the country life in America
ought 10 possess peculiar attraction-,he
pure and splendid institutions Of this people
have embodied the highest dreams Of those
high spirits. who in other times and other
lands, have lamented or struggled against
oppression; they have realized the fine con-
cep,ions which speculative men have imag-
ined, which wise men have planned, or brave
men vainly persisted in attempting to estab-
lish. Influence in retaining the lost dgni
~ Of man, and inspiring the lofliest feelings
of personal independence, may be traced in
every condition OF our citizens; but as all
objects are most disiinc, by insulation, their
effects are peculiarly obvious in the country.
The American Farmer is the exclusive,
absolute, and uncontrolled proprietor of the
soil. His tenure is not from government
The government derives its power from him
There is above him nothing but God and the
laws; no hereditary authority usurping the
distinctions Of personal genius; no establish
ed church spreading its dark shadow be-
tween him and heaven. His frugal govern
ment neither desires nor dares to Cypress
the soil, and the affairs are only supported by
voluntary offerings Of sincere piety. His
pursuits. which no perversion can render in
furious to any, are directed to the common
benefit of all. In multiplying the bounties
of Providence in the care Of the inferior an
finals committed to his charge. he will find
an ever varying and interesting employment,
digni6ed by the union of simple and gener-
Gus hospitality. His character assumes a
loftier interest by its influence over the pub
lie liberty.
1t may not be foretoldt to what dangers this
country is destined, when its swelling popu-
laton, its expanded territory, its daily COM
plicatng interests shall awake the latent pas
sions and reveal the vulnerable points of our
institutions. But whenever these perils shall
come, in most steadlast security, its most firm
reliance will be on that column Of land pro.
prietors-the men of the soil and of the
country. These
men, powerful, like their own forests, may
