"Oh," said Jonathan, 81 don't care much

"Well," said the farmer, 81 will give you

"Agreed," said Jonathan
The eldest son then said, "Father, will you
give me a sheep if will do without rum?"
"Yes, Marshall, you shall have sheep you

The youngest son, a STRIPPING, then said
"Father, will you give me sheep ifl will do

"Yes, Chandler you shall have a sheep also,

Presently Chandler speaks again:
"Fathcr, hadn't you better take a sheep
too?"
This was poser; he hardly thought he could
give up the "good creature" yet. But the ap-
peal was from source not TO be easily dsrc-

TO embark in the publication OF the Liberty

Two years ago, this Journal dated its origin,
at period when, in this County, It had many
difficulties TO encounter, and the strongest op-
position TO contend with. The enduring, and,
as we conceive, orthodox principles, which
have nurtured and sustained the journal through
good and through evil report" had then IN
their infancy, but mere minority which sus'
tained it. But, the resistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about q
brighter and iairer dawn; and the philan'
hropst and the patriot can now look in pro-
,pectlve upon the revisit of those purer days
which once pointed to the destiny OF our much
beloved country.

In consequence Of the popularity which our
daily paper has gained in all sections of the
country, and the numerous demands we are
receiving from all quarters for weekly Jour
nal, VIC have determined on starting one of that
description, TO be entitled the "THE WEEKLY
PIcAYUNE."
Toadopt the same fgurative style used in our
first prospectus, we have fitted out the 'Pica.
gHae" for more distant voyages, and freighted
her with all sorts of notions in the shape of
and if the same success attends her
which she has met with while coasting nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns.
TO prepare our little craft for the more cx-
tended sea on which she is destined 10 move :,
we have put on her many additions and i'm.
Drovements. Some Of her old timbers have
been taken out and replaced by ncw--she has
greater measurement toreand aft, greaterI
engh Of beam, and her sheets have been ma
erlally enlarged.
Notwithstanding the Increased size, the pub
lc may rest assured that the 'Picaynne' will bel
enabled to work in Shoai mater with the sameI
AGILITY as heretofore, and form channels ofI
which it would be folly for the
lulI heavy vessels at present smiling this port
