"DOing" a Landlord.
BY SOLITAIRE

Tom c. tt, Esq. genius, iwhose ideas Of
life were on such magnificent scale that they ontrau
his interests. capital and all, was seated upon the
porch Of one Of fashionable hotels, in large
eastern village, one bright Monday morning, cogta-
taxing how, in the nature of things il possible
for him TO compass n dinner. The long score unpaid
which stood recorded on the books within, precluded
tho idea Of getting there without the tin, and
merous searches through sundry pockets about his
person were Narded by single sinner. The
desperate, but great mirds always equal
to great emergencies, and Tom was of that order.-
His Goa, had been renovated by sconrer, for whom
he had written love letter, his hat had been roned
by good na,ured halter, who had enjoyed his
tom in better days, Goa, OF japan varnish had
been lavished upon his cane, his dcky passabe,
and no gentleman would think of examining the ca
smiies Of his covering, or pry into the shifts he had
been put up to for shirt Tom thought himself pas
sable ard he resolved pass off for dinner if posi-
ble stranger falling easily on se,tee near him
looked vulnerable, and Tom approaching him in a
very bland and friendly manner remarked.
Excuse me, sir, but you look so much like an old
friend of mine, J. B, who has resided for
yearstia the South, that can't hcp addressing ou.
q am from the South, SIR answered the stranger
cautiously, but am not the person you speak Of
know him however, and am peascd to encounter
friend Of his.
That's it, said Tom to himself, got him easy as
rolling OF Log '"'
An animated conversation ensued which ended by
Tom being asked to dine, and when the gong pro-
cumtd the table spread in walked the stranger and
Tom arm in arm, large life ard twice natural
lie called The walters with air of ease, passed the
strangers wine with friendly freedom, laughed mu-
scally, jssted with spirit wiped his mouth with grace
and in short, completely captvated the southerncr.
During the period of Toms luxuratipg, he was OBJ
served by the landlord, who, indignant, sent
want to order him from the table. Tom had 'eome
it, over him for so many odd dinners, without shad
ow of prospec, for pay that he would stand no long
err The servant approached, whispered in his ear,
and stood off to give him room to more. Tom clutch
ed the wine bottle with the intention to throw it at
his head but altered his purpose, and poured out an
other glass and drank off, looked daggors at the
servant and in moment smiled confidence up
on his friend.

AFRICAN CoLoNIzATIoN. Good .Necs. We
were happy 10 learn yesterday from Capt. Barker,
Agent of the N. Y, City Colonization Society, that
$4,000 had already been subscribed towards the
purchase Of the only territory not belonging to the A.
merican Colonies, between Cape Palmus aud Cape
Mount,-a distance along the coast of about 800
miles. In the proposed purchase is included the fa-
nous savemurt Of the Ganas. Only $4,000 more
is required to effect this great object: and we think
we can pledge the generosity of our citizens that it
will not long be delayed Without this additional
sum, the $4,000 already subscribed is not binding.
With it, the Colonies will be made respectable in
point of extent and will he free from many embarrass
ments which they suffer. Moreover, along this
whole extent Of coast $500 miles) the slave trade
will be forever extingushod. The cheapest easiest,
and best way stop the slave trade altogether would
be,to encrce the continent with such colonies These
would effectually accomplish the object and nothing
else can, except the civilization and chrsanization
ofthe whole African population, which, without
remarkable interPoslon Of Providence, will be
essary slow process Establish a Gordon OF such
colonies those Of Liberia around the African CONT
nent, and the numerous vessels employed in at.
tempting suppress the slave trade, may be perma-

Getting Rich by Saving.

For the purpose Of attracting attention, we have ad
opted title, which is not fully apropps the excel
lent remarks annexed from the New York Tribune
We having nothing 10 add, to call TO mind, the
testimony Of Mr. Asor that the first thousand dollars
of his fortune cost him more labor than all the rest
After that, all was comparatively easy Those, who
do not wish to end Mr. Astor has done must

or my ten to twenty dollars month (heside board)
in the country, the case may bo-nobody ever got
rich in that way" Now it ia quite true That a colos-
sal fortune was never realized from the savings of
simple and straight forward labor and probably never
will be. But it is grea. mistake TO suppose that
competence may not (by most men,) be realized
from naked, downrgh, labor, that are not con.
stantly doing this. All around Boston, Lowell, and
almost every city, are the comfortable dwellings Of
mechanics who commenced without dollar and new

that industry is never prospered. Look back over
the careers Of nine-tent of the rich men among u.s.
and you will find that they commenced life as poor
men, and laid the foundations Of their fortunes by saw

Conclusion of the Presidents Message

Under present land system, limiting the mini
mum price at which the public lands can be entered
to one dollar and twenty five cents per acre, large
quantities of lands Of inferior quality remain unsold,
because they will not command that price. From tho
records ofthe General Land Office appears, that. of
the public lands remaining unsold in the several
States and Territories in which they situated thr-
ty-nne millions one hundred and FIVE Thousand five
hundred and seventy acres have been in the
market, subject to entry more than twenty years;
forty nine millions six hundred and thirty eight thou
sand six hundred and forty four for than
fifteen years; seventy three millions seventy four
thousand and six hundred acres for more than ten
years; and one hundred and six millions hundred
and seventy six thousand nine hundred and sixty one
for than five years Much the largest por-
ton of these lands will continue TO be unsaleable u:
the minimum price at which they are permitted TO
be sold, long large territories OF lands from which
the valuable portions have not been settled are
annually broush; into market by the government
With the view to the sale and settlement of these
inferior lands, recommend that the price be gradual
ed and reduced below the present minimum rate ,con
firing the sales at the uced prices TO settlers and
cuiivators, in limited quantities. lf graduated and
reduced in price for limited term 10 one dollar per

THE WAY TO MAKE MILK.

London paper gives very aughabIe account Of
the arrest of vender of ''new milk from the cow
who was charged with stealing ten quarts of milk
from Mr. Stevens, ii dairy man.
1T shown in evidence, that the prisoner pur-
chased milk OF the prosecutor, filling up the pail
from the "back cow /. the pump, an operation
called bobbng,' and that when he went away, he
took with hun pail of unstraned milk, the property
OF the prosecutor. One of the witnesses said il was
a common practice with jobbing dealers in milk, 10
mix it with large proportion of water.
The prisoner, in defence, said he would let out
few secrets Of the milk trade II was an old saying
and true one, ''more milk was drunk in London 10
a fortnight, than all the cows in England give in
month" Much laughter.) lie bought six quarts
of milk from Mrs. Gilbert, and he then went to the
'black cow and pumped eight nine quarts OF
ter into it. (Laugher) Magistrate; what! upon six
quarts Of milk '--Prisoner: Yes sir; that's what we
call bobbing the milk, and with little chalk, rare
milk il makes. (Roars of aughter) Bless your
lordshp, it's not the first time it's been done by
thousands. Continued laughter) Magistrate:
dare say not; and that's what you call "bob
bling the milk?
Prisoner: Yes, your worship. Mr. Stevens sup
plies the water. There is very good supply, | can
assure you. I mix my milk with water. We never
sell it without water; Of course warm water is the
best, cause then the people believe its just been
yielded by the COW. We add alittie chalk TO the
score sometimes, and the customers dom mind it,
Well, sir, Mr. Stevens after me and said, you
have some milk belonging to mes and said, I've
nothing but what paid for; my pals wouldn't hold
ten quarts more after tho bob i've put into IT,
That's all sir CThis address delivered with empha-
sis, created great amusement in couri.)
The Magistrate said there doubt Of the fell
,ony and regarded the present system of 'bobbng,
no had no doubt the public would be made acquant-
ed with it. A more impudent defence it had not
been his lot to hear for some time He should com
