A Valuable Brick,

A journeyman mason, named Brerond,
was employed to repair chimney IN :he
apartment OF a gentleman residing in the
Rue des France Bourgeois. While about
his work the mason broke brick which
he found in the chimney, and to his sur
prise discovered that il was hollow, and
contained a bank note for 50Of. The
workman was all alone. and might readily
have appropriated this sum to himself. but
he preferred 10 communicate the fact to
his employer, who called TO mind that
about two months before he had written 10
his uncle, at Amsterdam, for a supply of
money. and had in return received a
carefully scaled package, which, on being
opened, proved TO be nothing bu, the brick
in question, which the indignant recipient
threw into the chimney. and wrote his
uncle an angry letter on the subject, to
which no answer had been sent. The
gentleman was not aware that IN Holland
these hollow bricks are made on purpose
10 send small sums Of money, as making
a more secure package than any other.
The mason was literally rewarded for his
honesty, and a letter of thanks and
apology was despatched to the uncle.

in addition TO the 81 .OOO. 900 appropriated
TO that purpose last year, thus giving each
soldier $500 a year to travel with.

Farmers Families.

Major Patrick, in an address bef1re the
Jefferson County. N. W Agricultural
Society. gave the following advice in
reference TO the improvement Of farmers
families. Speaking Of the practice, which
prevails in some families, Of keeping q
portion Of the dwelling almost wholly
closed, he said
First : let the front part Of that house
be thrown open, and the mos. convenient.
agreeable and pleasant room in ii be
selected as the tamly room. LIE, its doors
be ever open and when the work Of the
kitchen IS completed, let the mother and
daughters be found there with their appro-
pirate work. Let it be the room where
the family altar is erected, on which the
father offers the morning and the evening
sacrifice. Let it be consecra,ed to neai-
ness and purity ard truth. Let no hat
ever lie seen in that room on The head Of
its owner let no coatless individual be
permitted 10 enter it. IL fathers head is
bald (and some there are in tina, predica-
men,,) his daughter will be proud to see
his temples covered by the neat and
graceful looking cap that her own hands
has fashioned for him. II the coat he
wears by day is too heavy for the evening.
calicoes are cheap, and so is cotton wsd.
ding. A few shillings placed in tina,
daughters hand will insure him The most
comfortable wrapper in the world ; and if
his boots are hard, and the nails cut
mothers carpet, bushel OF wheat once in
three years will keep him in slippers ofthe
easiest kind. Let that table which has
always stood under the looking glass,
against the wall, be wheeled into the room,
its leaves raised, and plenty of useful
books, periodicals, and family agricultural
journals be laid upon it. When the
evening comes, bring on the lights-for
sons aud daugh,ers-all who can-wiI be
most willing students. They will read.
they will learn, they will discuss the sub
Jects of their studies with each other; and
parents will often be quite a. much in
siruc,ed as their children.
This not only keeps the family together
the sons at home-bui in few wears il
will show Itself in the intelligence of all
and from the very start, in that harmony
and happy conten'edness, which should
pervade every family.

Youthful Neglect.

Walter Scott, in narrative OF his per.
sonal history. gives the following caution
to youth
"lf 1t should ever fall to the lot Of youth
to peruse these pages, let such readers
remember that it is with the deepest regret
that l recollect in my manhood the oPpor-
tunities Of learning which | neglected in
my youth /; that through every par. Of my
literary career, have felt pinched and
hampered by my own ignorance and
would this moment give half my repu'a-
ton have had the good fortune TO acquire.
il by so doing, could rest the remaining
part upon sound foundation Of learning
and science"

A SADDENED HEART.

Could but write tue thoughts feel,
And to each word full strength impart,
And all the gnawing eriefs reveal
Which torture nv o'erburdened heart.
I'd sit me down with pen Of fire
And tell my tale with trembling breath,
But lest it should in tears expire
I'd tell it on the eve Of death.
Could I but give to measured verse
The throbbings Of my fevered brain,
And all the sorrows wild rehearse
Which oft strive to thus retain;
All it would be tale Of woe
Should thus write. should thus tell
OF all the pangs my heart doth know,
OF sorrows dire that me befell.
I'd tell Of how happy youth
Passed like summer dream away,
How all bsamed bright in love and truth
As summers sun in clear noon-day;
And how when after years rolled on
Dig with their tolsome cares apace.
These joys. all blasted. now have flown,
And left me no abiding place.
To Love nv soul was once a'tuned,
And puresi bliss was with me then,
Affections blossom, 'round me bloomfd
(W hich ne'.r fear will bloom again }
Once. happiness heamed on my way
In sweetest intercourse OF friends,
But now. in darkness. not a ray
The holy light OF Friendship sends.
o. Lie is but tossing sea
Whsts' 'er we saw or do. or think,
We on It's waves float Wild and free,
Or in It's surges downward sink!
But this one truth we know remains
II in the pathway we have trod
Our souls the "priceles. pearl obtains.
We shall rest. in Heaven, with God

The Discounted Yankee.
BY W. J. J.

Jedediah Slocum lived, grew, and vege-
tated in little town in the North Of
Vermont, where old Hyems for half the
year enshrouds the landscape in his snowy
mantle, and the frozen inhabitants devote
their energies to the manufacture of shoe
pegs, clothes-pins, rake-teeth and dog,
.churns, varied occasionally by some sharp
witted Yankee inventing " Patent Oscil-
lating Magnetic Revolving Apple Parer,"
or '.Self-Adjus,ing, Self-Stripping Cow
Mixer" or some kindred engine of vast
labor-economizing properties, and then
starting OF to the warmer south to astonish
and fleece the admiring natives.
Such was the case with Jedediah for,
gniraJile Giesu, one dark, drizzly, dismal
morning, the neighbcrhood was thrown
into an intense excitement by the an
nouncement that be bad constructed
machine called the "Self-Acting, Self
Sharpening, Self puckeriug Goose Picker"
and all that was required, was for the
goose to walk in and take seat, when,
upon turning a crank twice around, the
animal would be deposited at the Other end
entirely divested of all feathery encum-
brances, and highly delighted with the nov
city Of her sensations.
Well, this admirably designed machine
was testedupon an antiqaated gander, in the
presence of throng of spectators little
door in one end of the machine was opened,
the bird deposited within, the crank was
turned twice, and out came the goose, bare
as bullfrog, depositing at the same time
the feathers in nice little piles, all assorted
into different sizes, the quills by themselves
nicely laid with all the ends one way.
Goosey to be sure, died in a few minutes,
bat that was attributed to the knives
inside not being properly adjusted, cutting
off large slice from the poor creatures
back. In fine, Jedediah disposed Of his
invention on the spot, for fifty dollars, ten
bushels Of shoe pegs, and half cord of
churn dashers. Some other time I'll spin
you yarn how he negotiated the dicker;
but now I'm going to unfold. his subsequent
adventures, for adventures are as essential
to Yankee as water is to aquatics.

definitions of and differences between neuns

craer to maintain his liberty, too abandon
his Peaates, between two days, by moon

wonted avocations, he bade adieu to home,
and sailed forth in quest of fortune with
moderate finances. but lofty aspirations,
for an idea occurred to him, quite an orig

wealthy farmers daughter, and confer
