I HAVE this day witnessed the administration of MOR

fluence a to'ft# eye moth whs extracted by Dr. PUTNAM, with
out the least pain. I then look the chair and requestsd to
have the gass administered to myself.- It was accordingly
dune, nnd the sensations* were, very pleasant and highly grati
fying As far ms lam able, to determine from what 1 have wit
nessed and experienced, I hid induced to believe that the I.e
fheon ift perfectly harmless in its eff cts uii the constitution, !
and is an etheient agent, in judicious‘hands, in ’ relieving hu* j

MISCELLANY.
THE 60UKCE3 OF NATIONAL WEALTH.
RT it EV. Mil. BURN AP, OF BALTIMORE.
What in weulih ? In what dtte* it consist ?
Wealth is everything that supplies Ihe human wania, nat
ural or artificial. Here is, of course, no end to Its multipli
cation. The artificial wants of mankind have no limits, of j
. couise wealth ha* no bounds, but the productiveness of na
ture, and the capwciiirs f human industry; And what are I
i human wants? The first is food. This Can bo procured on- ’
ily from the soil. IL nce, ibe first and rnoul universal of hu
man pursuit* is agriculture. ‘l’he first item, in a nation’s |
| wealth in u cultivated land. 15 fore this every othet specie*
of property and wind leu into umignf caiice, tnd strange as it
: may seem, the greufest investment tn ibi# country, the mo t
I costly production of human industry, is the common fences
| which divide the fields from the highlands, and separate (hern
| from eAch other. No men dreams, that, when compet'd to.
the outlay oftheseunpretcrid.ua monuments of humsu art, :
our cities and our towns, with all their wealth, are ielt far be
hind. Vou will scarcely believe me, when I rsy that Ihe
fences of this country cost more than twenty (line* the spo
j cie there is in it. In many of the counties iu the Northern
States, the fi ner* have cost more than the (arms and fence*
| are worth. It is this enormous fiu den, there cun be no doubt,
which keep* down the agricultural interests of thi* country,
and it is freedom from it which enables the North of Europe, •
i w ith r\ wars** climate, end an ind Herein system of cultivation
to undersell us in the markets of England. There, traveller*
tell u*. fence* me oho. si unknown. The herda and fiocki
me under the cure of herdsmen nnd shepherds, and thu* an j
untold *■ xjx'jk! ll uit) h saved, beside* the |os of the kind which
! flic fence* occupy, ami the accumulation of aoil, that, with .
the moat careful management la apt to he thrown up around
j them by the plough.
The hunter contribute* to the wealth of a country by his
peipetual toil, livery thing begin* with him. livery day ol
the year ha* it* vmi >u* and it* Continued* operator)*—all di
rected, however. to this one point, to bring the greatest quan
, tity of produce from a given number of acres. Such is the
nature of his work, that litile can bo doit* to expedite or shor
! ten the process, livery font of every field must be parsed
! over by the plough. ‘I here are no tire-horses yet invented to
ido this ul the rate of twenty miles an hour, ibe ploughman, ’
I therefore, must ihw early and work late. Hi* In bur a too, j
I must be generally cm.fmed to the houis when the sun is a
bova the horizon, in autumn aod in winter these me few'.
He must woik the harder dunug that pint of the year when
lire days are long. Every tndmonous farmer is continually
adding to the substantial and permanent wealth of a nation.
He is continually adding to Hie productive power, which is j
the heat specie* of weulth, llis saving*, if any he make, go
bock into the soil, to increase its fertility, or they‘go into fix* ,
tu>es, which add comfort or diminish the labors of all coming
years. Tne savings of the farmer—and lie cannot make any
tiling only by the mint aaAduou* labor—increase the fund ;
that is most wanting, especially in such a country ae this;
i. e. agricultural capital. The farmers of this country can do
nothing, they nay, for the want of money. Ho ware they I
ever to pet hut hy the improvement of their farms ? A*
thing* have been managed in tills country hitherto, ibeic has
been a ten deucy to deterioration. J- • !
The ladica! mistake his been committed of supposing that
the best investment for the farmer is the pu<chase of moie
land, w hereas, in most instances, the better pdicy would have
i een, the bitter ccltivation cl that which he a'heady had.—
The plan has been to exhauat one field and then turn to
another. Much a plan can result in nothing hut rum: No-,
thing has been move Reflected in this country than agricul
ture. The soil of the United Slates is capable of sustaining j
two hunched million* of inhabitants belter than it sustain* se
venteen .
E'ghty years ago the population of England and Walea
was only six million*, and a uniat miserable living did they !
gel. black bread, barley cakes arid oatmeal porridge, were Ibe
main food of the rural j opulaiion. Wince lhat lime, the popu- j
ludon lias more than doubled, and, in ordinar y times, they fare
better than half the number did then. Their annual agricul
tural productions have increased more than two hundred mil
lions of dollars, and yet the productive powcis ol the whole
island are scarcely us great as thus* of the single State ol Il
linois.
But agriculture, to flourish, must have a market for its sur
plus productions. And what is s market 1 Hoes that mag
’ ic word reside in any place T Most people seem to think so.
i A market it every where. It is people,Hot a place—people not
’ engaged in agriculture, but employed in something else that
supplies human wauls. Arid the uearei it is iouud to the
farmer’s door the better, the less of his production* ere spent
111 gelling thrill to market. Agriculture can flourish, then,
only where there is a large population engaged m manufac
tures and commerce. ‘
! The second source of notional wealth is m inuf during in
’ dus'ry. No nation ever hei aiue wealthy by raising the law
m aterial, ami then exchanging it foi the manufactured article
The inanufacluimg people always have the advantage. They
work day anti night, summer and winter, in fair and stormy
’ weather. An agricultural population woik only in the day
’ tune, when ihe earth la free from fro* s, and worn ‘he clouds
are disburd umg thejisr lves upon the earth. A manufactur
ing population can avail themselves In any extent of the aid
of machinery.’ The fall of ‘waier in the town of Lowell is
| made to do the work ot a million of human beings. Every
: thing t 1 e fanner raises mul t e brought not of the earth by
1 main force, by hard work. Tne farmer’s production* are
> bulky, and are ullen almost- consumed in getting them to
ma ket. Thu manufactured article Is t.suaily comparatively
I light in proportion to ini value. The farmer, moreover, is
j obliged to take ihe chances of unpropillous Mason*, and of*
| fttsionally a shoit cmp. ftiul no vauatioii of the seasuiishas
ever been kuown to produce a abort crop ul b mis and a!***••
and drought has never been so gicat as to bbghl the labors ol
the loom.
With these advantage*, a manufactur mg people will alnod
always continue lo keep an agiicullu'sl people m debt. Towns
and cilies will spring op among the ■ , ami die very fact of a
condensed population gives ibem great advantage*. An ex
cluaivrlv agricufr oral people. in *he present age of I lias world,
will alwavs be poor, i hey wwiit cities and towns, they want
a diversity of employmt-nt. They want the coirrprise and
at tivity, which is eiigMiden and merely by bunging masse** of
the people to act on each other by mutual stimulation and
excitement. Why i* tbo balance ol trade continually mta
voi of Ibe North * Because our labor is not all Hi. i sx.iy di
versified, be* a use ibe raw material goes from till-very u<y to
ilia Norih to be mmufactuted, and Cornea back to be worn by

the sightless Oytlnpa, working lit the daf*. Bhy-iral strength j

At length, a cowardly upon a family, composed of

nearly to death, and the old widow and a greyheaded m gr<*
killed and thrown into the *VVell** of the “UevilVtialf aertf,’*
o exaepv'ial'jJ the young nmn, thn they resolved upon ven

a lovely eve; auch un one as we rarely ace in one
[ too changeable climtte. The sun, bathed in u halo of golden
j light, slowly *ie-ee ded behind the towering steep of Bhan
j nock. ‘J’l'.e bright aijrs looked dviwn from tho pure ether,
i wi h a se -niingly enc*urjuiog smile, upon tbo band of youth-
ItuI heroea, who had silently gathered in n copse at the base
of the m uirtf 1 . Each mouiehl some brave boy would noise
lessly approach, with hie rifle upon b a shoulder,- and. with tt
simple nod of recognition, take bis place, and (-uietly await
the orji-r of the ptnaon wht* was to be their leader.
‘Tirt* one chosen to command them, was a sturdy youh of
about 18 years of age; a ironic ly built and very athletic; ho
1 carried a long rifle, and was dad in a plain rustic uit of grey
1 “homespun.” His quick movement* and hurriedly whisper
: ed instiunion--, showed that he kit the importance, and un
*Jcr>t.O(J the danger t itie attempt they were about to make;
n*l the fire that flashed from hi* dark, eye, proved that ho
wus equal to the emergency.
A length the party, numbering 15, was ail assembbd ; the
ages us Done exceeded eighteen, where major.ty were still
younger. The o;tier to march wia given, and the young
band followed lhair leader hi profound silence,
’Twa* a noble sight! those brave young spirits setting out
to avenge the wrongs of their mothers and sister", at the risk
! *f their own lives, and agam-t fearful odds of numbers and
experience, buVstem resolve sat upon every brow, and firmly
: beat each heart ! Moon they approached the spot where lay
encamped the objects of their hatred; the British numbered
twenty, and wete all wrapped in a profound slumber. Slow
ly and stealthily they neared the enemy, their hearts beating
violently as they saw in their power—but not a word
escaped their lips—their calculations had been well made,
and limy continued to advance cautiously until they wero
within about thn tv feet of Ihe r*d coats, when a gesture from
th. ir le i.le*- brought them to a stand. Each’ boy singled out
his man— the command wa give'll in a low tone, and the ah up
report of fifteen tides broke upon the splines* of lb** night,
end re-echoed along the hills and craigs of Mhannock ! in
aiamly, under cover of the sin >kc, they rushed in upon tbo
Hurvivors, and pinioned them ©re they could recover from tho
