Massachusetts and Vermont.

II may interest some OF the read
ers OF the Herald to compare the
governmental expenses of our own
with some other State. When we
feel inclined to complain of the bur
den of our State taxes, it may be
comfort TO know that the tax PAYERS
of our mother Massachusetts are
even worse off,
The population of Massachusetts
IS little more than three times as
great as Vermont, while her State
expenses are more thirteen times as
great.

a COTToN PICKING MACHINE.-The O.
hio Farmer and Mechanics ASSISTANT pub
fishes description of patent machine for
picking cotton. This improvement enables
one field hand to pick more cotton than five
TO eight hands by the old method Another
advantage belonging to this Improvement is,
that il leaves the cotton in better condition
than that picked by the hand. The ma
chine is simple in its structure, and not
liable to get out of order, being composed
of geerin:, and an endless revolving chain,
tlc whole weighing less than six pounds

FRIENDSHIPS CHAIN.
BY MRS. II. r. ELDRIDGE.

There is golden chain of thought,
NV heart and thine to bind;
With deep and earnest feeling fraught,
A link from mind to mind;
II will out-live the purest gold,
SO tcnder-yet so strong,
| know it never can grow old,
When sorrows round us throng.
o, no. we will not let the Chain
Grow eankered by neglect,
Norrudrly snap one link in twain,
Nor whisper 81 forget
'Twould be- mOckery to do thus
True friendships bliss imparts;
Let fortune smile or frown on Us,
That chain will link our hearts.
Though other friends may seem as dear,
And Others smiles more bright,
Wen pledge our mutual friendship here,
Beneath the moons pale light.
Nor viii we sever friendships chain,
That binds our hearts together;
Nor nIdely snap one link in twain
Let us be friends forever!

FASHIONABLE TAILORING.
FLORIDA LAND AGENCY,

THE undersigned has established an agency
l. in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun-
~, Fla, for the purchase, sale or location of
Land Warrants, the purchase and sale OF lands
generally, improved and unimproved. The
fact now being established that a Rail Road
is TO be constructed Immediately connecting
the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running
through the entire length of the county, East
and West, anc in view of the great fertility
of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine
timber on the land, the healthfu,neSs of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on which
lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps
no section of the Union which affords equaI
inducements to the emigrant from the older
States. Having had some experience in farm
ing on the different kinds OF land, and ac-
quired general knowledge OF them through
out the county, and having acquired unusual
facilities for pointing out such az are for sale
either of public or private lands, he feels
very confident of making it the interest OF
all persons wishing inform alton, or who may
have deter mined TO settle in Florida TO cal.
on him.
