ANECDoTE. A rich man, who was
building some brick houses in Boston at
the time when the Hon. Mr.. Gore and FL
bridge Gerry were candidates for the
Governorship of Massachusetts, walked
down to his new buildings on election day,
and found the head carpenter putting up
his tools. On asking him where be was
going, he said, ito the polls sir.' To
the polls, are you, and who do you vote

asking him the same question. 81 shall

shall do no more work for me'' well,

FARMERS EVENINGS. In one respect
J the farmer has the advantage of almost all
other classes of the laboring community
his evenings he has to himself While
the mechanic has to labor from morning
till nine o'clock in the evening, the far
mer's day commences with the rising, and
closes with the setting sun. Although
the industrious farmer finds many little
jobs of work to which he very economical
ly appropriatcs his evening leisure, yet
the greater part of the long winter eve
nlngs he can appropriate to his amuse-
| IN ct In ro1a 10
see more cheerful countenances than
around the blazing fire upon the farmers
hearth. There, at the merry apple par
ing, or at the neighborhood collection, or
even in the family circle alone, do we find
social happiness in its purest simplicity.
What farmer who improves these oppor-
tunities can but be intelligent! And what
instruction SO interesting as that which
gives him a knowledge of his own en-
ployment? Here we would suggest the
importance of every farmer having sup
ply OF agricultural books and papers. 1t
seems to US that no one can be insensibIe
of their utility. II this should be sug-
gestion of self-interest, which we do not
deny, still we believe il comedies with the
interest of the farmer. We will not en-
large on this subject, as we apprehend it
will not convey that knowledge which we
recommend. We will barely saw, that
we expect our subscribers to increase as
the evenings ngthen.-American SIX

APPLES. NEW ARTICLE OF EXPORT
AS potatoes have become profitable arti
Gle of export from the State of Maine. sc
