Anecdo %.

The following ola anecdote is worth re-
heating. Some few years since, as DR..
DWIGHT was travelling through New Jersey,
bn Glanced to stag at the stage hotel IN one
of lie Dopular towns, for the night At a
late hour of the night, arrived also at the
inn Mr.. Dennie, who had the misfortune

occupied by the celebrated DIR. Dwiget-

and there left him to introduce himself
The Doctor although in his night. gown,
cap, and slippers, and just ready to resign
himself to the refreshing arms of Somnns,
politely requested the strange intruder to be
seated. Struck with the physiognomy of
his companion, he then unbent his anstere
brow, and commenced literary converse.
ton. The names of Washington Frank
lin, Rittenhouse, and host of literary char
acters, for some time gave zest and an IN
terest TO the conversation, until Dr. Dwight
happened to mention Donnie. "Denne, the
editor of the Port F0aO," says the Doctor
in a rhapsody, is the Addison OF the Uni
ted States-the father OF American bellies

CINDERELLA.-The origin of the tale
from which this pantomlne was adopted is
sufficiently curious. Ii was about the year
1890 that French actor, of equal talent
and wealth, named Thervenard, IN passing
through the streets Of Paris, observed upon
a cobbler's stall the shoe Of female, which
struck HIM by the remarkable SmaIneSs of
its size. After admirlng it for some time,
he returned 10 the house but hIs-thoughts
reverted to the shoe with such intensity, that
he re-appeared at the stall the next day !;
but the cobbler could give no other clue to
the owner than that it had been left in his
absence for the purpose Of being repaired,
Day after day did Theyernard return to
his post to watch the refrigeration of this
slipper, which proceeded slowly; nor did
the proprietor appear to claim it. Although
he had completed the sixtieth year of his
age, SO extravagant BECAME his passion for
the unknown fair one, that he became (were
it possible for Frenchman at that day to
be SOY melancholy and miserable. His
pain was, however, somewhat appeased by
the avatar OF the little foot itself, appertain.

very humbIest class Of lie. Al dlstinc.

cured their consent to the match, and &C.
tualIy made her his wife.

Importance of Agriculture.

Agriculture is the parent Of physical
and mOrdt heath to the State-it is the salt
which preserves from moral corruption.
Not only are her labors useful in admin.
lstering to our wants, and in dispensing the
blessing of abund lnce to Others but she is
constantly exercising a sautary inAuenre
upon The moral and physical health of the
state, and in perpetuating the republican
habits and goo order of society," While
rural labor is the great source of physical
health and constitutional vigor to our popu-
latlon, it interposes the most formidable
barrier to the demoralizing influence of
luxury and vice. We seldom hear Of civil
connections, of crimes, or of hereditary
disease, among those who are steadily
engaged in the business of agriculture.
Men who are satisfied with the abundant
aud certain resources of their own labor,
and their own farms, are not willing to
leopard these enjoyments, by promoting
popular tumut, or toleralng crime. The
more we promote the interest of the ag-
rlcuturlst, by developing the powers
mind, and elevating his moral views, the
more we shall promote the virtue and hap
pinesS of society,
The facts which are here submitted must
afford ample proof, that agriculture is all
Important to us as a nation; and that our
prosperity in manufactures, in commerce,
and in other pursuits of lie, will depend
IN great measure, upon the returns which
the soil makes to agricultural labor. 1t
therefore becomes the interest of every
class, to cherish, to encourage, to enighten
to honor, and TO reward those who enpape
inagrlcultural pursuits. Our independence
was won by our yeomanry, and it can only
be preserved by them.-Judge Buell.

Action and Reaction in Farming
ORIGINAL uINTs.)
Never keep animals on short allowance
if you starve them, they will surely starve
you.
Although in draining land thoroughly,
your purse may be drained, yet the full
crops that follow will soon fill it again
Trying to farm without capital is like
trying to run a locomotive without fuel.
Money and wood must both be consumed, if
they are to move the machine of the farm
or Of the rail.
Always give the soil the first meal. If
this IS well fed with manure, it will feed
all else; plants, animals, and men.
If you wish to give an energetic move
ment to all yonr farm machinery, and keep
its hundred wheels in rotation, be sure not
to be without good rotation of crops.
II you allow your animals to SILVER
your fortune will be shvered in conse-
quence; that is. the farmer who leaves his
cattle, to the winds, will find his profits also
given to the winds
Heavy carrot crops for cattle, will soon
return carats of gold.
Learn as much as possible the experience
Of the skilfuI; the man who depends on
teaching himself will be likely to receive
very poor lessons, or, as Dr. franklin has
it, he will find he has fool for his master.
Fences operate in two ways--lf good
thew ale a defence, if poor an offence.
Many a farmer, by too sparngIy seeding
his new meadows, has had to cede his whole
farm.
Every farmer should see daily every ami
NAL he has and Inspect its condition.
Weekly visits, as with some, soon result in
weakly animals.
The man who provides well sheltered
cotes for his sheep in winter, will soon find
plenty of coats for his own back
A good housewife shonld not be a person
of one idea," but should be equally
familiar with the flower garden and Gour
barrel and though her lesson should be to
lessen expense, yet the scent of fine rose
should not be less valued than the cent in
the ill., She will doubtless prefer a yard
of shrubbery to a yard Of satin. If her
husband is a skillIul sower of grain, she is
equally sklIfuI as sewer of garments !;
he keeps his hoes bright by use she keeps
the hose of the whole family in order.
To abuse animals by starving them, is as
base as The hope of gaining by it is base
less,-Aibaay CuhioatOr.

Wool in the United States,

1t is estimated that 7l,0OO, NO0 pounds
OF wool are annually consumed in the
United States, and thai although the profit
OF raising wool are about Is per cent yet
there Is not enough raised 10 supply the
demand, consequently much has to be
imported, 1t is believed by those who are
we'll able to Judge of the matter, that the
UnHed States can not only raise enough
OF Wool to supply all our own wants. but
raise it cheap enough to supply other ma.
tlons, instead of importing it from them.
We learn by the Philadelphia Ledger, that
Mr.. P. A. Brown, of that city, who has
! devoted so much attention to the examina-
ton of wool, is about to visit Washington
I City with view of bringing the result of
his interesting Investigations to the notice
of Congress- Mr.. B. has examined many
hundreds of specimens of wool raised in
Europe and the United States, and has
compared those produced in this country
with the best of foreign growth. The re-
suit of his Investigations is, that wool may
be raised in this country, and particularly
in PENNSYLVANIA, New York, and Virginia
equal to the best imported wool. Mr.. B S
conclusions are based upon accurate eX-
periments, testing the fneness, ductilily
elasticity, and strength of the woods o
Saxony with those of this country, which
he was enabled to do by the kindness oil
of the King of Saxony, who sent him a
very large number of samples of the best
kinds raised in that country Mr.. B
COZ tends that all that is Necessary TO the
production of the finest quality of wool is
to keep distinct species of the sheep sepa.
rae--to allow no crossing of beeds out o
the species. One species produces wool il
the highest perfection, another produce.

MulIony, to prevent his boys from catch
ing cold when they walk unnecessarily in
the wet, wipes off the moisture with the dry
end of a rope. This not only prevents ca
tarrhs he says, but it breaks up the tenden

When husband and wife commence quar-

both parties to pitch into him.

For the Freeman.
THE TEMPEST
BY JOEL,

The tempeat howled in fearful rage
Along the blackened sky,
In torrents fell, e'er crap and ledge,
The rain on earth's patched dry.
The lightning flashed mid dismal gloom
A light of sparkling fire,
Revealed tow'riug Tree tops doom,
A display Of its power.
Beneath The Tree, father kneeling,
Clasps his beauleous child,
Firm his arm around her stealng,
To guard from storms 50 wild,
Hark the storm is fist approaching
VIII it pass harmless by!
Thus the anxious father noting,
Heaves forth an anxious sigh.
The thunder rolls solemn dir ge,
Mournfuly increasing;
The lightning flashes forth its rage,
Nought in its track releasing
The father lifts his fearful eye
Up to the Holy One,
And thus he prays, "0h! God on high,
Thy will, not mine be done"
More fiercely bright the Lightning gIeams'
TIL nearer by-a flash
Springs forth 'mong its crinEled beams,
Followed by deaf'ning crash --
The tree is scorched from topmOst bough,
The earth around &rentj
Father and child, whefe are they, pow
The storm its tury'5 spent'
Unhurt they stand with fearful eye,
And thank their God above,
That He with mercy from on high,
Has spared their lives in love.

ly one of the congregation at the church OF
popular minister. 1t CHANGED that during
one of the discourses, to which Jack was all
attentive listener, the Rev. doctor alluded
several times, in Scriptural phrase, to Sa-
tan being " bound in chains for thousand
years" The passage struck the attention
of the seaman with peculiar force, and dur
ing the week he pondered frequently upon
the words, feeling every time increased sat
isiaction that an individual towards whom
he had never been over partial was so secur-
y and for such lengthy term disposed Of.
On the following Sunday he went to hear
the doctor again, but to his great surp Use,
and 10 the unsettlng Of all his recent com
iorting notions, during one part OF the ser
mon the preacher asserted that the devil
d" goeth about like roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour." Jack quilted the
church oppressed with host of conflicting
thoughts and emotions, and unable after
many tough soiIoquial argument to recon-
ciIe the two statements, he resolved to sum-

man, in order to have the mystery solved
He did so, and after considerable hum
ming and having, and hitching OF the trow-
ses, at length spoke at once, told the doctor
that he could not make the two sermons fit,
and asked if his Satanic majesty was really
