LOST IN A CANEBREAKE.

A late number of the Corydon Qndiana)
Wing, states that two citizens of tina! coun-
ty, one by the name of John Ellis, the OH
er not remembered, while on their way 10
New Orleans, with fatboat, landed some
where in Arkansas, ,on account Of bad wealth
er and left the at,taking with them their
guns, intending to take few hours hunt.
They soon got into very heavy cane
breake; and after turning round few times
knew not the course back TO the boat; and
il had showed SO fast that they were unable
to follow back their track.
So they continued to be lost for four
days and nights, travelling through deep
snow in heavy cane-breake, without fire
or mouthful to eat. They were found in
most piteous and wretched condition, one
of them insensible to his misery, and the
other barely able to walk but yet urging the
other one forward, who was falling and
pitching in every direction. Mr.. Ellis, the
most able one of them; has come home. -
He, from all probability, will lose all his
toes, several Of them having come of alrea'
dy. He was much injured otherwise from
the cold.

WINTER EVENINGS.

During the winter season, most of the
youth of our land paTticularly,those Of the
country, have the evening at their own dis
posal, TO devote TO amusement, recreation,
or whatever pursuit they choose. We
speak now of those who are employed in
some active or necessary pursuit. during the
day, to whom evening brings their only loi-
sure; for the youth who has not some such
emplSyment,or who doer not seek it, is not
the one TO be benefited by any thing that
may be said on the improvement Of his leis-
urs hours. We therefore address our re-
marks TO the industrious youth Of our coun-
try, who are trained to useful and laudabe
purpose. Such young men will hail the
long evenings of the season with delight,
and bless the glad hours which they may
uevote unnterruptedly to the cultivation Of
their minds.
Few young men are at all aware OF the
amount of valuable knowledge of which
they might become the masters and pos

iaent of the leisure afforded by the even.
ings OF single winter, and when we add to
this the acquisition of ten or fifteen winters
the aggregate amount Of what a youth oI
common capacity nigh, attain would make

Union. Many who rendered themselves
eminent and useful in their day-the Frank
Inns, the Shermans, the Riuenhouses, ant
the Bowditches of our own country-tht
Watts, the Fergusous, and the Simpsons o
England-names conspicuous in the list o
contributors and the benelactors of that spe

diligent use Of less leisure than falls Il

ANECDOTE or THE REVOLUTION.

Almost every one is acquainted with the
circumstances of the taking of General
Prescott, the then commanding officer of
the British forces on Rhode Island by Cap
tain Barton Of Providence. He was ex-
changed for General Lee, who was prev-
ousIy captured by the British.
Shortly after his exchange he returned to
Rhode Island and was United to dine on
board the Admiral'a vessel, with many 9TH
er officers Of the highest grade. General
Prescott was naturally naughty, imperi-
GUS man, and as commander was very
unpopular with his officers and soldiers and
with the citizens of Newport, but was
brave and sklful officer.
1t was often the case that boys as we'll as
men were sent from the town on board the
+ Admiraps ship for any offence, and confin-
cd there for some lime, by the arbitrary au-
ihcrty Of these in power. Martial law
was the law of the place. A small 1au a.
bou. thirteen years of age was placed in
this situation previous to General Prescott's
return, and was on board with many others
at the time the General dned there. He
| did not know General Prescott.
After dinner the wine circulated freely,
and toast and song was repeatedly called
for. In the course of the evening the first
lieutenant observed 10 the admiral, who was
real jolly son Of Neptune, that there was
Yankee lad on board who would shame
all their singing.
Bring him up here said Prescott. The
boy was accordingly brought into the cab
in. The Admiral called on him 10 give
thsm song. The little fellow being some
what intimdated by gold-faced coats, epu
let's, &c. replied, can't sing any song
but Yankee songs The Admiral perceiv
ing that he was embarrassed ordered th
steward to..give him glass of wine, sayinI
.oome my fellow. don't be frightened, Civ
us one of your Yankee songs Genera
Prescott spoke in his usual naughty impe
rious manner, 'you d---d young rebel
give us song, or I'll give you DOZEN
The Admiral interfered and assured the la
that he should be set at liberty the next da
il he would give them song, any one h
could recolect.
The following doggerel, written by sa
lor Of Newport was given, to the great
musement of the company.
Twas on dark and stormy night
The winds and waves did roar,
Bold Barton then with twenty men
Went down unto the shore.
And in a whale boat they set of
To Rhodes Island fair,
To catch red-coat General
That then resided there.
Through British fleets and guard boats strol
They held their dangerous way,
Till they arrived unto their port
L, " And then did not delay.
A iawny son of Aries race
Them through the ravine* led,
Aud entering then the Overing houset
They found him III his bed.
But to get in they had no means
Excep. poor CulTee's head,

Who beat the door down then rushed in,
And siezed him in his bed.
Stop, let me put my breeches on
The General then did pray,
Your breeches Massa will take,
For dress we cannot stay.
Then through the rye s,ubbIe him they led
With shoes and breeches none,
And placed him in their boat quite snug
And then from shore were gone.
Soon the alarm was sounded loud,
The Yankees they have come.
And taken Prescott from his bed
And him they've carried home.
The drums were beat, sky rockets flew,
The soldiers shouldered arms
Ard marched around the grounds they knew,
Filled with most dire alarms.
But through the fleet with muffled oars
They held their devious wav,
And landed him on Gansett shoIest
Where Britain held no sway.
When unto the land they came
| Where rescue there was none,
. A id bold push the General said,
| 'Of pris'ners am onep
There was general shout of all The
company during the whole song and at tn,
close. one who was prisoner on board a
the time, observed, he thought the decl
would come through with.the stamping an,
cheering.
General Prescott joined most heartily il
the meriment. Thrusling his hand into hi
pocket he handed the boy guinea, sayin,
here you young dog is guinea for you.
The boy was Sc. at liberty the next morn
ing.
This anecdote is often related by an age,
gentleman now living in Newport. s***

shore TO the house which was occupied b,
General Prescott.

Effect Of Free Materiat.--A dealer in
wool informs us that during the past six
months, some fifteen thousand bales of for
egn coarse wool have been sold in this
market. A few years ago, a cargo Of five
hundred bales overstocked ,he market, and
supplied the sales for a year. But woods
costing less than eight cents pound were
made free under our tariff, and Immediately
there has grown up The vast business in the
manufacture of them. Now i; Is proposed
to tax the woods. What the whole effect
of the proposed tax may be, it is difficult
to say; but the facts shew the stimulating
effects of letting in raw materials free of du-
ty, while they also show the danger Of go-
vernment interference for the purpose of re-
gulating the business of the citizens, and
the extreme difficulty of working such in
reference into any system which will on
she whole operate benefcially, or even fair
ly. Our manufacturers will never be safe
until all interference with their interests on
the part of the Government, is Withdrawn.

stances. A diligent use Of their time, (stn-
dying and laboring while others slept or
played,) steady perseverance and a In
domtable energy gave them their attach

The most learned man of all antiquity, as
well as the greatest orator Of Rome, lei us
at once into the secret of all his vast and
varied learning he tells us that the time
which others gave to feasts, and dice, aRd
sports, he devoted 10 patient study.

mans intended pursuit of life; he cannot
choose any which reading and study during
bis leisure hours, will moi the better qualify
him. Ifhe is TO be farmer, let him read
books and treaties on agriculture; if he is 10
be mechanic, lei him study the maihema-
tics and works on mechanism, archiec-
ture &c, il he is to be merchant. let him
become familiar with the principles of po-
litical economy, the statistics OF trade, and
the history of commerce; and, finally, If
he is to be an American citizen, one of the
millions to whom is TO be intrusted the rich
heritage of civil and religious liberty be.
queaihed to us by our fathers, let him study
well the history, and the institution Of the
United States, and let him contemplate the
lives and character of those who wroush
out and framed our liberties.
Nor is the knowledge 10 be thus acquir
ed the only inducemeht for young man tt
devote the hours of his leisure to readin!
and study. The pleasure TO Sc found i,
such pursuits is as much superior to tha
transient and gddy excitement atiendan
merely on the graver amusements, as It il

your tartrums. If all were not perfectly

the malady, under which YOU labor, there
would be more sympathy evlnced for your
lamentations and wailings, sufferings and
