"Whoso readcth-let him understand"
"Jona,han Homespun, having purchas-
cd an extensive farm, and provided him
self with every thing requisite to prosper
Gus husbandry, proposes to furnish SUBJ
scribers with one quart of wheat weekly,
for one year, at the low price of one doll
lar and fifty cents, in advance: two dollars
at the end of six months or two dollars
and fifty cents if not paid till the close of
the year.
1.-THE facilities offered by the Govern.
ment for the transportation of wheat to
every section Of the Union and adjacent
provinces, are such as must prove salts.

prietor of the Granary assures all who
may patronize him, that he will exert him
self to supply an article of the best quality.
N.B.-Agents will be allowed generous

tor of the Granary, Hopewell.
Such was the prospectus issued by my
friend Homespnn. Feeling lively inter
est in his welfare, visited his farm, al !,
though it was long journey from my
home, and was pleased to find every thing
in nice order. He informed me that he
had contracted large debt in the purchase
of the premises, stock and implements of
husbandry, but that he had no doubt of
his ability to discharge every obligation
in few years. He also stated that he
had already received many hundred subs
scribers, and that in four or five weeks he
would commence the delivery of wheat
according to his proposals.
The scheme appeared plausible; and
my friend was so confident Of his success
that had not the slightest doubt Of his
prosperity. entered my name as sub
scriber and when left him he was pre-
pairing many thousand quart sacks.
Every week, for the space of two years,
Ireceived my quart of wheat and conclu>
dsd from its excellent quality and prompt
delivery, that every thing was prosperous
with Jonathan and his farm. So gave
myself no concern about my Indebtedness
to him-for, said I'sto farmer so exten
sively pa:ronized as he is, the small pit
lance of two years arrearages would be
but drop in the bucket" 1t is true there
was occasionly printed on the sacks gen.
eral notice to delinquents-bu never
suspected that this was intended for his
friends.
The notice however became more FREE
quent; and having leasure, concluded
would visit my friend the proprietor of the
Granary. He greeted me cordially-but
l saw that there had been trouble. He
was evidently worn with toll and anxiety ;
and in the conversation of the evening he
entered into particulars.

OLD TIME.
Old Time, that hoary headed chap
Who holds scythe and glass,
First takes the measure of our days,
Then mows us down like grass:
He swings his bush hook all around,
Nor yields TO him that begs;
sa And every one that's in the way,
Must Just look out for legs.
He's furnished with pair Of wings
That gray with age appear;
And c cry feather that he drops.
Drops on dying year:
His flight is swilt-his flight is slow
lis Just as Fancy seesit: ~
IT'S slow with grief. and swift whene'er
A body drinks and sprees it. E
Old Time flew once, when was young
With light and airy wing; t
But now he drags himself along
Like poor crippled thing, 4
As DER the desert sands of life
His tortoise tracks view, 80 s
Iwonder if his journey he
Will ever yet get through.
IT'S fancy, fancy-nothing else
Old Time is speeding on -
His head is bald-his wings are gray
He'll soon himself be gone:
He soon will throw his scythe away,
His sands will cease to run;
And the last kick of Time will be
Eternity begun.
When Joshua babe the sun and moon
Tostand DER Jersey still,
Old Time sat down to rest himself
Beside Wehawken hill;
And there he sat and snoozed awhile,
Until a voice he heard:
"Get up! get up! you lazy sloth!
is ume your StumPS were StiiTeu.
90, let me be-" said drowsy Time,
Wiping his sweaty brow!
"rve travelled for thousand years
And never stopped till now;
I've joumeyed on since was born
With an unbroken pace;-
And never have found before
So. fine loaGng place"
Just as he spoke sketey came
And bit him on the ear;
So up he jumped and wisely said,
"Tll stay no longer here:
I'll hitch my locomotive to
The universal train,
And, pluck my pinions, if stop
Till Chaos comes again - SpooNs.

observe remarkably full attendance, and good
health generally prevailing among the members
IN The House of Representatives, Hon. JOHN
WHITE, OF Kentucky, was elected Speaker on
the hrst voting, and MATHEW ST.. CLAIR
CLARKE, Of this city, Clerk, on the 4lh trial. Mr.
r. y. }. SMITn, of Maine, was the regularly no
minated candidate Of the friends of the adm-
nistratlon for the Clerkship and received 80
votes on the first trial, being about two thirds of
the entire Wing strength in the House, and Mr..
Clarke 80 votes. A majority Of the Wing party
continued voting for Mr.. Smith, but were over
powered at last by an unexpected junction Of a
part OF the Opposition with that portion of the
wings who were opposed to the regular nomi-
nation. Lest, however, the Loco Focos should
pretend TO congratulate themselves, we may re-
mark that, they would probably have united up
on any body in opposition TO the regular candi
date Of the Wings. Mr.. Clarke has long been
known as Wing, and experience has made
i'm an accomplished Clerk. To the citizens Of
this District generally, we have no doubt, his
success is source of qualification.
The Senate, it will be observed, adjourned to
meet at 1 o'clock to-day, being an hour earlier
than is usual. This is good sign-ndicative
we hope Of business session. The Presi-
dents Message will be communicated to both
Houses today, probably at one o'clock, and an
Express will leave the city Immediately after,
by which il will be carried through TO New York
in ten hours.
The question was raised in the House, by
Mr. McKEoN, of N. ", whether Mr.. Tyler was
entitled 10 the appellaton Of President of the
U. s." We presume similar question will be
raised in regard to the Vice Presidency when
ever the Senator from New Jersey is called up
on to vote in the Senate.
