YANKEE TRIcK.-During the revolutionary
war, two brothers, from one of the eastern ports,
were commanders of privatcers; they cruised to-
gether, and were eminently successful, doing
great damage t. the enemy, and making money
for themselves. One evening, being in the lati-
tude of the shoals Of Nantucket, but many miles
to the eastward Of them, they espied large
British vessel, having the appearance of mer-
chairman, and made towards her; but, to their
establishment, found her to be frigate in dis
guise. A very high breeze prevailing, they
hauled off in different directions. One only
could be pursued, and the frigatc gained rapidly
upon him Finding he could not run away, the
commanding officer had recourse to stratagem.
On sudden he hauled down every sail, and all
hands were employed with setting poles, as il
showing his vessel off bank. The people on
board the frigate, amazed at the supposed dan
ger they had run, and to save themselves from
being grounded, Immediately clawed OIL, and LETT
the more knowing Yankee " to make himself
scarce" as soon as night rendered 1T prudent ior
him to hoist sail, in sea two hundred fathoms
deep.

INDIA RuBBEn-This most remarkable arti-
Gle, which only few years ago was sent to
this country as ballast, now sells, in fine state,
as high as los. to lis per pound, when spun into
thread. One firm spins as much India rubber
thread every week, as would reach from Lon
don to Canton, the country it is imported from.
Threre are twelve patents for this article, and
these patents have cost more to defend in law
than the amount paid for India rubber since the
article has been known to us as of any value.
Experiments are now making in England and
France TO apply the article to the cure of con-
sumption.

DRAINING ON A LARGE SCALE.-We see it
stated in the London Atheneum, that the drain
ing OF the great lake called the Sea of HARLEM,
which has been contemplated by every success
sive Dutch government for the last three centu-
ries, is at length to be accomplished, by means
of single and ingenious apparatus, the inven-
ton of the civil engineer Dietz. The construc-
ton Of this machinery is kept secret; but it is
stated that it can be readily transported from
place to place, and will be worked by steam
engine with double boiler and of l20 horse pow
err The calculated results Of its operations are
eiven; and as it is the intention of the govern
ment to work ten of the new machines at once,
the drainage Of the great lake will occupy, it is
estimated, 800 days, owo years and two months)
The ten machines, with their steam engines,
and the maintenance and working Of them during
that space of time, will cost about CO, 900 OF
our money; and this amount is stated to be less
than ene.tenth Of the which this vast I'M
dertalxing would have cost by any of the pro-
aesses hitherto proposed for its achievement,
even if practicable Rosson Transcript

ANECDOTES ILLUsTRATIvE OF THE IthES'
The American ofsaturday says;
ga gentleman OF this city having visited the
South West on mercantile business during the
mast summer, happened to be in the town OF
Franklin, Tenn, when Gen. Jackson passed
through it on his return from some political
meeting, to which he had gone as a partizan
The citizens, aware of his approach, stood in
gronns along the streets and before the hotel
doors. AS the General was slowly moving
along, be took off his hat and bowed-but no
returning salutations were seen. The people
stood like statues, fixed and motionless; no hat
was lifted; no cheer sent up. Ten years be-
fore. said our informant, the air would have
been rent with acclamations on such an occa-
sion there"
In addition to this, friend has just told us,
that one of our most respectable citizens,
member of the society of Friends, day or two
before the Presidential Election, received let
ter from a relative, lying upon sick bed, ex-
pected to be at the point of death, urging him
to go and see her. There was great conflict
in his mind as to what he ought to do. To go,
was to lose his vote. Ifhe remained, he might
never again see his sick friend in life. He
reasoned, however, thus if go, shall certain
ly lose my vote-if l remain, may first dis
charge my duty to my country, and may af-
forwards discharge my duty TO the sick. He
acted accordingly, and, after having voted, Wis
tied his friend yet alive.
AND ANoTHER-A young lady, about to be
married, wished a clergyman in New Jersey to
perform the ceremony, and wrote to him re-
questing him TO dose. In reply, he said, that
if the time could be so arranged that he could
come and perform the ceremony, and return in
time to vote he would do so, but not otherwise,
as he held that to be religious duty.
Think you, reader, that the cold and formal
reception of Gen. Jackson or the enthusiasm
in behalf of Gen. Harrison, proceeds from any
personal i'll will TO the one, or of personal at
tachment to the other' 1t is probable, that
neither the respectable Friend, nor the minister
of whom we have just spoken, knows General
Harrison personally. 1t follows, that the en-
thusiasm which animated the body of the peo-
pie in the late election, resulted from deep
conviction of a necessity for change of rulers;
and we should always remember, that General
Harrison is but the instrument in achieving
bloodless revolution, and that the object will
be defeated if we forget what is due to our
country, and sacrifice the spirit of liberty in
blind idolatry to men.

This is not at all surprising. Many a matrimo-
NAL consumnation, no doubt, hung upon the re-
suit OF the Presidential election. A prospect of

ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTIVE are all aware, if
the weather be damp and foggy, that listlcss
and languid state is produced; whilst, during dry
weather, however cold it may be, there is feel
ing of ligktheartedness and cheerfulness perva-
ding the whole system. In the first instance,
the atmospheric is robbing US of our electricity,
which it greedily absorbs; in the latter case, the
dryness Of the air is SUCH that it leaves us in the
possession Of the electricity which to belong
to us; hence the buoyancy of spirits on the cold
and frosty days of December and January, and
the suicidal dependency of November, and hence
the elasticity, the life, and animation of the
Frenchman, the sluggish, heavy movement of
the Dutchman, the variable feelings of the Eng
lishman, one day full of hope and checrfulness,
the next day at war with himself and the rest of
mankind To every one in damp, moist c"ndi-
lions of the atmosphere, flannel is a great COM
fort, but silk is the most useful covering of the
body. 1t is by far the best friend and comforter
that can be applied. We know that if silk
handkerchief be perfectly dry, lightning the most
accumulated could not pass through it, so deci-
ded non-condueter is it; hence, if worn next to
the skin, the air cannot absorb the electricity
Of the human body. Silk waistcoats, drawers,
and stockings, of the same material, are of the
greatest service during the humid state of the
winter months of this country. The hypochon-
driac, the nervous, will derive from them more
benefit than from the most active tonic, and they
will prove more invigorating cordial than any
spirituous dram; nor are the effects transient,
for a buoyancy Of spirits and an agreeable
warmth, are thus diffuscd over the whole Frame
Patients, too, during mercurial influence, are
much better wrapped in silk than even when
confined to bed.-Dr. SignlOnd
