"TuE NOZZLE SAILOR

81 NE y OBLE SAILOR.
During the great and memorable fire in
the city Of New York, on the l7lh Dec,
1895, mother was seen in the streets,
frautcaIly asking for her babe, which had
been left in the upper story Of building
enycloped in flames. A young sailor, on
learning the fact rushed through the de-
voming element aud in a few moments
restored the child to its mother in safety
But ere the throug could learn his name
The noble tar had gI."
Considerable inquiry was made for the
individual at the time, and we believe the
grateful parents went so far as to make a
public call for information respecting him,
though without effect. We are happy,
however, to be able now to communicate
the name Of William II. Rindge, late OF
this town, as the sailor who did this no.
bic deed, though he is now beyond the
- praise of man." and, we trust is recei-
wing his reward in heaven. William II.
Rindge was the son OF Capt. John
Rndgc of this town. His school-mates
speak of him as of a noble generous, da'
ring disposition one who would be
likely to do such an act as he did at the
great fire in New York. On that occa'
sion, he contracted cold, which threw
him into a consumption and finally causcc
his death, on the 23d Of June last. Tht
secret of his resculng the infant alluded I,
was revealed TO his friends shortly before

Extract from an Essay on AgricuIiure-.sslts
Dignity and ImpOrtance.o
BIZ GEN. DIX, of Albany, N. Y:

In the countries of Europe, the quarter
OF the globe with which our communica-
TONS are most direct and intimate, the
state of agriculture varies with peculiari-
ties OF soil, climate and political organiza-
ton; and as might be expected, the esti-
nation IN which it is held, is not every
where the same. In Russia the earth is
cultivated almost exclusively by serfs,
subject 10 the arbitrary will of the noble
who owns the soil. Manual labor, in
any art, almost necessarily partakes Of
the character of those by whom it is car
RED on; and in Russia, therefore, agricul-
ture, as an occupation, is degraded. III
the northern parts OF Italy, in the Ncihers1
lands, and in some Of the German states,
the soil, under judicious systems Of hus.
bandry and an elaborate culture, has ~
tanned the highest degree of productive
ness. The southern part of Sweden
formerly subject to Denmark, retains, ID
some degree, the reputation it once en-
Joyed, as the granary of northern Europe.
Holstein, dependency of Denmark, Dor:
dering upon the northern bank of the Elbe,
and the shores of the German Ocean,
abounds in the richest fields of grain, and
IN numberless flocks of cattle and sheep.
In France, new impulse has been given
TO agricultural improvement, by the ex-
tremc subdivision of the soil, which has
grown out of the law of equal succession
and the coniiscation and sale of lands be-
longing to the church and to the expatri-
ated mobiles, who followed the fortunes Of
the Bourbons.

"Ha! ha ha he understood how to
trap a fox, but not TO keep him." said
Philip.
"BA how did you discover me, and
how came yoa So providcntially to my
rescue ?"
1.-The red skin followed you up from
the edge of the trees, below; and knowing
that you were likely to come TO this rock,
| crossed further down than you did, and
thus arrived before either you or the
Indian. He followed you closely, and
once or twice he moved stone whilst
creeping through the bushes"-
IL heard noise as of stone displaced
several times, but did not heed it," inter
rupted Willie.
"Well, well, boy; he'll never take
another scalp, But this is no place for
his carcass" and dragging the stillened
body SO lately breathing and full of acti-
witty, to small cavity, when throwing it
in, they hastily piled a quantity of loose
stones on the body, and returned to the
scene Of the late tragedy.
On ascending to the spot where the
scene we have just narrated occurred,
Philips eye was attracted by something
moving on the still waters beneath them.
After few moments attention to the OBJ
ject, which slowly and silently moved on
the pelIucid stream, it, with the swilncss
Of an arrow, shot into one of the darkest
spots on the rivers edge, and was lost to
the eye.
"Therc go the DEVILS" said the woods
man, as another and another followed in
rapid succession. 81 take ii thcre'll be a
kick up in the settlements before this
moon lights many more nights. But we
must back to the village, and set watch
or they'll be likely to surprise us" And,
turning on his heel, with rapid steps he
descended the hill in the direction of the
village. a few minutes brought them to
the little belt of wood that here half en-
circed the hillside; here pausing for
few moments, the old man listened in
tently to catch the slightest sound, but
nothing was heard that indicated pursuit.
Motioning to his companion to follow, he
walked swiftly through the open, moonlit
glade, and entered the cabin. Having
assured himself that all was secure within,
he babe the young man keep watch whilst
he alarmed some of the inmates of the
neighborng cabins. Proceeding cautious
tly along under the shade of the pines and
surrounding vegetation. he had nearly ar
rived at the door of the next cabin 10 his
own, when distant yell broke on his
oor with STARTLING and hlood.cbilIipc

twas a fearful night,
The strong flame spread
From street to street, from spirc to spirc
And on their treasure tread.
Hark lis mothers cry,
High DER the tumult wild,
As rushing toward her ilamc-wrapt home
She shrek 'd-My child my child
a wandercr from the sea,
\ stranger marked her wo
And in his bosom woke
The sympathetic glow.
Swift up the burning stairs
With daring feet he flew,
While sable clouds and sitting smoke
Concealed him from the view.
Fast fell the burning beams
Across his dangerous road,
Till the far chamber where he CROPPED,
Like fery oven gowed
But what pealing shout!
When from the wreck he came,
And in his arms a smiling babe
Sail toying with the flame.
The mothers rapturcd tears
Forth like torrent sped,
But ere the throng could learn his name,
The noble tar had fed
Not foy the praise Of man,
Did he this deed of love
But on the bright unfading page

10 give country the highest degree
OF wealth and power, which it is capable
OF attaining, agriculture must be sustained
by commerce and manufactures but it
may dispense with both the latter, and
yet retain its prosperity. The condition
OF the United States is favorable TO all
these pursuits: but whatever may be the
fate OF our commerce and manufactures,
we must. as all agricultural country, rank
among the first nations of the earth. The
extent Of our territory, the extraordinary
fertility of our soil, the adaptation of our
climate to almost every species of produc-
ton, our distance from other countries,
in which agriculture furnishes surplus
for expectation, show conclusively that
our vast and rapidly augmenting popula-
ton can, and must, be sustained BY the
fruits of our own industry. In this field
of labor we fear no competition. The
productions of our agriculture have but
one limit-thc demand for them. Cen
turtles must elapse before they will be
limited, as in the densely populated states
.of Europe, by the powers Of the soil.
We have not only the ability Of expand
ing to an immense degree, by means of
our vast unoccupied domain beyond the
lakes and the Mississippi; bur we have
the ability of increasing TO an indefinite
extent upon the surface we now occupy.
For centuries after the reaction of settle
ment shall he felt from the west, IAN
event too distant 10 enter into any csti-
mate of our future growth, we may con-
tinue to multiply, and yet be able, by
more prudent husbandry of the powers of
tie soil, to furnish the additional consul
mcrs with the necessaries of life.
