Alt EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG FARMERS
Mr. Editor :—ln the year 1818, a young
man of the State of Connecticut, having lost
hi* parents, and having received no other patri
mony than a common school education, good
sense, sound health and industrious habits, be
thought him of emigrating to Ohio. He accor
dingly departed and immediately hired himself
to a farmer there.
His intelligence, industry and faithfulness se
cured him constant employment and the highest
w.iges; and his prudent and economical habits
enabled him to lay by a very considerable part of
his earnings. After a few years, he purchased
s tract of seventy-five acres of good land for
$lO0 —erected a cabin, all necessary, though
rule, barns and other out-buildings; then mar
ried a young woman, a perfect counterpart of
himself in every thing that is excellent and
praiseworthy in a farmer.
He immediately began to clear and improve
his land, put portions of it under cultivation, and
his labors were blest far beyond his expectations.
In 1830 he was able to erect a comfortable
house, not large, but sufficiently capacious for
his family, and a spare bed or two for the accom
adation of his friends, an excellent bam and
convenient out-houses. Continuing to prosper,
in a few years more he had SSOOO at interest,
and has added to it SSOO every year since.
As he has raised a large family, and raised it
well, having given each child a good practical
education, I was curious to look into his affairs,
in order to learn by what means he had done so
well. As he keeps a regular account current of
his transactions, and is regular and systematic in
everything of his business, it gave him no troub
le to ted me of the result of his proceedings,
which is briefly as follows :—Average yearly
product of the farm, 10 beef cattle as30 —$300;
25 hogs at $12 —$300; 200 bushels com at 25
cento—-SSO; product of dairy $200; product of
orchard, $200; small crops of various other ar
aclus, $250. Deduct from this, s22'), being the
average cost of hired labor, leaves SIOSO.
This sum, tiking me year with another, is
the nett profit derived from only seventy-five
acres of land. Os this amount, he manages, as
has already been said, to invest SSOO at interest
every year. Besides which, his farm is daily
increasing in value, and he will in all probabili
ty, soon become a rich man.
Who has done better on a small farm ? Like
others, he has sometimes suffered, somewhat,
from unfavorable seasons and oilier casualites,
but bis correct system of culture and skilful man
agement, generally makes up for every loss ex
perienced from this source.
His system of saving and making manure,
turns every thing into the improvement of his
soil.—Weeds, ashes, the oifals of his stock,
soap-suds, bones, and every thing that will tend
to enrich, is carefully saved and properly applied.
In the selection of his fruit he has sought the
best varieties, which always gives him prefer
ence in the market. So of his stock. And eve
ry thing be does is done well. Every thing he
sends to market, commands the highest price
because it is of the best kind.
In hw pnrlor is a well selected fibraTy of about
three hundred volumes. These are not kept
for show, nor to handle merely, or to turn over
the leaves ; they are read with attention and pro
fit by him and his family. He takes one politi
cal, one religious, two agricultural papers, and
the North American Review.
lie refuses all offices, and is, with his family
a regular attendant at church, and a pious, up
right, and conscientious man.
He is the peaev-rrmker in his neighborhood,
and the chosen arbiter in all disputes. He loans
his money at six per cent, and will take no
more.
He says Be wants no more land, for his own
use, than he can cultivate well; no more stock
titan he can keep well.
He therefore called by all who know him,
the Model Farmer, and his farm, the Model Farm.
Who will follow his example, and be pros
perous and happy !

THE POOD OP MATT.
The potatoc is a native of South America, and
i* still found wild in Chili, Peru, and Mount Vi*
deo. lit its native state, the root is small and
bitt**r. The first mention of it by European
writers, is in 1589. It is now spread over the
world. Wheat and Rye originated in Tartary
and Siberia, where they are still indigenous.
The oidy country where the oat is found wild is
in Abyssinia, and thence nitty be considered a
native. Maize, or Indian corn, is a native of
Mexico, and was unknown in Europe until after
the discoveries of Columbus. The bread fruit
ttvc is a native of the South Sea Islands, particu
larly Otoheite. Tea is found a native no where
except in China and Japan, from which country
the world resupplied. The cocoa-nut is a native
of most equinoctial countries, and is one of the
most valuable trees, as food, clothing, and shel
ter, are a fmled by it. Collee is a native of Ara
bia Felix, but is now spread into’ both the'East
and West Indies. The best coffee is brought
from Mocha, in Arabia, whence about fourteen
millions of pounds are annually exported. St.
Domingo furnishes from sixty to seventy millions
of pounds yearly. All the varieties of the apple
are derived front the crab apple, which is found
native in most parts of the world.
The peach is derived from Persia, where it
still grows in a native state, small, bitter, and
with poisonous qualities. Tobacco is a native
of Mexico and South America, and lately one
species has been found in New Holland. Tobac
co was first introduced into England from North
Carolina, in 1596, by Walter Raleigh. Aspar
agus was brought from Asia ; cabbage and let
tuce from Holland; horse radish from China;
nee front Ethiopia; beans front the East Indies;
and garlics are natives of various places both in
Aria anJ Africa. The sugar cane is a native of
Cntoa. and the art of making sugar from it—

A Goon Joke. —The Baltomore Patriot a
n maced that Mr. Toombs [Whig] of Georgia
haJ made a speech itt congress in opposition to
the tariff of 1842, and the protective system gen
erally, and in favor of the bill just passed. Many
ofthewhig.t of Augusta threw up thek caps
and saiJ •*Toombs was right” There however,
t urns out to he a mistake in the patriot. It was
Mr. Towns, of Ga. and not Mr. Toombs who
opposed the tariflT of 1842. Indeed the latter
grntleinxit warmly suppo.ted that tariff. The
Augusta Constitionist supposes that “those
whig* will throw up their hats again, and still
$ irruh far Toombs .” We have no doubt, that
there arc a vast number of whigs in the south, who
would have been pleased in their hearts to see their
Whig representatives vote against the enormities
of the tariff of 1842. But “ party ” has swept
them on—and in their devotion to the great lath
er of the miscalled “ American system” they for
get their old love of the revenue principle.

WASHINGTON’S NOMINATION.
At no period of the Revolution did the arm of
Omnipotence appear more apparent in behalf
of the Thirteen Colonies, than in the entire
unanimity with which Washington received
hia appointment of Commauder-in-Cheif of har
armies. Previous to that event, Washington
was comparatively unknown beyond his own
native province of Virginia. The shadowing
forth of that greatness of purpose, design and
execution that has made him “ the mark and mo
del of the world,” was so foeble that he had nev
er suspected it in himself, while Gen. Ward, in
the Eastern Colonies, and Lee, in the Southern,
stood •• prominently fortti as brave and experi
enced Commanders, and upon them the eyes of
all were turned as the most fitting persons for
the command. Congress had already assembled,
and had entered upon the work of allaying sec
tional interests, for, as they were Generals of
equal grade, it seemed nicely balanced as to
which should receive the appointment—each
section naturally feeling jealous of its rights,
felt anxious for the hour. Then it was that
John Adams, the master spirit of the times step
ped forth; he alone of the three millions of in
habitants had fixed his eye, as If directed by un
erring wisdom, upon another, and never, until
the moment of action arrived, had he comunica
ted his thoughts to a human being. On the 14th
day of June, 1776, he invited his cousin, Sam
uel Adams, to a walk, early in the morning
they walked up Sixth street, to what is now
known as Franklin Square, discussing the great
public afTairs with which they were exclusively
occupied, and then, for the first time, he gave
language to his thoughts, and revealed to his
cousin his purpose. At the first glance, his pol
icy was strongly repudiated ; however, his rea
soning was so cogent and conclusive, that he
succedcd in exacting a promise from Samuel to
second the nomination he intended to make
that day, and to move an immediate adjourn
ment, to enable the members to talk the matter
over among themselves. He accordigly arose
in his place, and commenced his great speech.
He spoke ot the crisis that had been forced upon
the Colonies, the importance of a Chief to rally
upon, and the necessity r f chosing one suited to
the occasion; then, in the most eloquent and
graphic manner, he described the qualities neces
sary in such a Chieftain. After he had conclu.
ded, he paused and enquired :—“ Have we such
an individual 1 I answer, we have; a member
of our own body !” He then proceeded :—“ I
nominate as Commander-in-Chief of the Armies
of the thirteen Colonies, George Washington,
of Virginia!”
It is said that Washington, with all the others
had been deeply interested throughout, and at
the moment the nomination was being made,
had his eye fixed intently upon the speaker,"ex
pecting to bear either the name of Ward or Lee
pronounced—but when his own was given in
stead, he darted from the Hall with the speed of
thought—indeed the whole House was taken by
surprise. He was the last man thought of in
that connection, and had a bomb shell suddenly
descended and burst in his presence it could not
have produced half th- constcrnati n created by
the nomination. r-
Samuel Adams promply seconded the motion,
and moved un adjournment, which was carried.
The subject was fully discused ad interim,
and the next day they came together and unani
mously conferred the command—how wisely af
ter events have demonstrated— upon George
Washington..
BLACK SAM. i
Who could not, for the life af him, blacken the
Volunteer's boots, but who was death on conun*
drums.
As Satn, the negro boot-black, was passing
up St. Charles street yesterday, with the imple
ments of his “ purfession,” as himself says—
brushes, blacking, and a piece of stick with a
bevelled edge on it, in a basket, under his arm,
Le was hailed by an Indiana volunteer, whose
boots were outside his trowsers up to his knees,
and the mud on which was an inch thick, more
or less; he was literally up to his knees in mad.
“I say, old Ligntfmvit® !” said the volunteer,
“ are not you a boot-black 1”
“Wal, I isn’t notin’ else,” said Sam. “Ihas
polished dis ere squar—dat ar, de people wot
lives in it—for de las, fifteen j'ears. You see,
de purfession has extended to me in de reg’lar
rnarterna: line: niv farder was a boot-black.”
“ All right, Ebony,” said the volunteer, raising
, lii>i foot and resting the heel of bis Boot in Sam’s
i lap, and supporting himself aga nst the lamp
posr.
Now, the volunteer’s boots, be it known, be
sides being partially wet and particularly dirty,
never since they came off the last, nor perhaps
even then, had brushed acquaintance whh •* Day
‘and Martin,” or any substitute for that “ unri
| vailed” blacking.
Sam. nothing daunted however, went to work.
He scraped off the dirt and brushed in the black
ing ; but, although he rubbed, and rubbed, and
{ continued to rub, the boot remained aS dull and
as dark ns Erebus.
“ Go ahead,” said the volunteer.
“I calls dis g in’ a foot, massa,” said Sam.
“But, wy is dis boot, massa—(he still keeps
rubbing for life bare) —wy is dis,boot, I say like
Pete Gumbo among de galawhen I is dar .”
“ I don’t know,” said the volunteer—“ nor,
curse you curly head, I don’t care.”
“ Den,” says Sam, “ you gibs it up. Dis boot
is like Pete Gumbo under dem dar pecoolar cir
cumstances, ’cause it can’t shine ! Yaw ! yaw !
yaw !”
•• Brush on,” said thn volunteer, “ and bring
out the polish, or you shan’t get the first red cent
for the job.”
Sam did brush on and away, but still he could
bring forth no polish. Finding all further ef
forts unnecessary, he looked up in the volunteer’s
lace, the perspiration covering his phiz like glob
ular puhbles in a pool of a rainy day, and un
covering h ivores with a broad, good-natured
grin, he asked, “Mossa, why is I like Kosciosko?
You just tells me dat, and I gibs in ; but I reck
ons you’ll Lab to gib in, any way you can
xit I sees you gibs it up,” said Sam: “ Den
lis like Massa Koo.iusko ’cause I endeavored
to effect a Polish Revolution, and failed !”
The honest volunteer gave a loud guftaw, and
gave Sam half-a-t’ollar, not for polishing his
boots, for that he did not do; but for his apti
tude at making a conundrum.—[lV. O. Debar
Astonishing Invention.-— The most’ extra
ordinary triumph in Mechanical art the world
has ever known, one which, next to the Philos
opher’s-Stone and Perpetual-Motion, has en
gaged the attention of scientific men for ages,
has at last, after over twenty-five years of unre
mitting toil been accomplished by M. Faber,
Profesor of Mathematics in Vienna. It is an
Automaton figure of a man so constucted, that
by the use of sixteen keys, similar to those of the
Organ or Paino, it can be made to articulate
words and sentences perfectly in the English,
French, Spanish, German, and Latin, Languages,
saluting its friends with a “good evening” or
morning, giving the most precise emphasis, in
tonations and accents in whatever language it
speaks. The tk so difficult to the Frenchman
to sound, thrills harmoniouwly from the atama
tion, and its powers of vocalism are equal to
those of the first living artists. While speaking,
or staging, the breath issues from its mouth and
nostrils like that of a human being. M. Faber
has brought this wonderful man-machine to A
merica, and having allowed a private examina
tion of it in Philadelphia to Mr. T. P. Barnum,
that gentleman has effected an arrangement for
M. F. to accompany him to London, for the
purpose of introducing him and his semi-human
instrument before Queen Victoria and the Roy
al Family whose favor and kindness have been
always so largely bestowed upon Mr- Barnum.
Mr. B. and M. Faber left this county for Eu
rope bv the Boston Steamer of July 16th.— N.

A private, on the 9th, who had followed Lieut.
Dobbins through the thickest of the fight, raised
his-musket at a Mexican, and would have blown
him through if the poor fellow had not most pit
eously cried out, amigo, amigo, at the same time
dropping his weapon; the private did the same
and advanced towards the Mexican to take him
prisoner, the Mexican then perfidiously raised
his piece and instantly killed the generuu6 Amer
ican. This so enraged Lieut. Dobbins, that
he drew his bowie knife and at a bound reached*
the coward and literally split his head in twain.
ORIGINAL POETRY.
For the Times.
TO ONE OF THE WISE.
—Her eyes are bright as stars that keep
Their watch in midnightskies,
Her voice as sweet as winds that sweep
The Harps of Paradise ;
And thou mast quench the starry rays
Which make the mid-night fair,
Ere thou c&nst teach the heart to gaze,
And not to worship there.
But thou hast gained from wisdom’s store,
The stoic’s boasted art,
And lost, like him, the only love
Which could have cheered thy heart;
Then die ! for life hath nought of bloom,
Around thy path to shine,
And death can bring no deeper gloom,
To souls so dark as thine.

THE BLIND BOY.
BT DE. HAWK’S.
It was a blessed summers’ day
The flowers bloomed, the air was mild,
The little birds poured forth their lay,
And every thing in nature smiled.
In pleasant thought I wandered on,
Beneath the green woods ample shade,
Till suddenly I came upon
Two children, who had hither strayed.
Just at an aged birch tree’s foot,
A little boy and girl reclined,
His hand on hers she kindly put,
And then I saw the boy was blind !
The children knew not I was near,
A tree concealed me from their view ;
Yet all they said, I well could hear,
And I could see all they might do.
Dear Mary, said the poor blind boy,
That little bird sings very long,
Say, do you see him, in his joy,
And is he pretty, as his song 7
Yes, Edward, yes, replied the maid,
I see the bird from yonder tree ;
The poor boy sighed and gently said,
Sister, I wish that I could see.
Yet, I the fragrant flower can smell,
And I can feel the green leaf’s shade,
And I cajj.hear the notes that swell
From those dear birds which God has made.
So, sister, God to me is kind,
Though sight, alas, he has not given;
But tell me, are there any blind
Among the children up in heaven 7
No, dearest Edward, there all can see !
But why ask me a thing so odd ;
Oh Mary, he’s so good to me,
I thought I’d like to look at God.
Ere long disease his hand had lain,
On that dear boy, so meek and mild,
His widowed Mother wept and prayed,
That God would spare her sightless child. —
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said, Oh never weep forme,
I’m going to a bright, bright place,
Where Mary says, I God shall see.
And you’ll come there dear Mary too,
But Mother when you get up there,
Tell Edward, Mother, that ’tis you,
You know, 1 never saw you here.
He spoke no more, but sweetly smiled,
Until the final blow was given,
When God took up that poor blind child,
And opened first his eyes in heaven.
THE VIOLET.
On being asked by a Lady why Violets were
generally found in a Country Churchyard,
You ask me why the Violet blooms
Amongst the silent dead,
And why amidst the mouid’ring tombs,
It loves to rear it head.
Sweet woman there is often seen
To dew the ground with tears,
And where her Angel foot has trod,
Her favorite flower appears.
Then, when she cemes to deck the grave,
Where her heart’s treasure lies,
She finds a garland ready made .
To grace her obsequies. w
ON BETTING.
BETS are the blockhead’s argument,
The only logic he can vent,
His minor and his major;
’Tie to confess your head a worse
Investigator than your purse,
To reason with a wager.
The fool who bets too high, will have
Temptation to enact the knave
And make his friend his martyr ;
But they who thus would underhand,
Entrap, may be themselves trepann’d,
And sometimes catch a Tartar,
Some slily make the matter sure
And then propose with look demure,
The bet at stake to double ;
Forgetting that whatever vogue
The trick may have, the man’s a rogue
Whose betting is a bubble.
Tempt not yourself—still less your friends—
Where bets begin, attachment ends,
And up springs feuds and quarrels
Leave wagers to the black-leg tribe,
Lest with their practice you imbibe,
A portion of their morals.

REMEDIES.
There are so many medicines ofdoubtful char

the present time, . that we should have shrunk
from the task we have now undertaken, were we
not most thoroughly convinced, from our own
personal knowledge, of the facts which we state
below.
It is of “Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry” that
we would speak, and we speak advisedly. A
lady of our acquaintance, whom we see every
day, was a short time since, in what we thought
a precarious, if not p. dangerous state of health.
A cough had settjed on her lungs ; her form
seemed wasting aWay ; she was obliged to aban
don her work, and we thought, not soon to re
sume it again. For about two months she has
been taking

Blackwood’s Magazine being an exact fac-siiuile
of the Edinburgh edition.
The widespread fanie of these splendid Peri

marked by a dignity, candor and forbearance not
often found in works of a party character.
They embrace the’ views 6f the three great
parties in Tory and Radical.—
re Black.wo'6d”and the “London Qaarterly” are
Tory; the “Edinburgh Review,” IFhig.- and the
“Westminster” Radical. The “ Foreign Quar
