Our district , Its productions , Jts many ad vantages. The future , <s"<:. Mr. Editor :—Qne of the warmest aspi rations of my school hoy days was, t at I might say, or write, or do something that might benefit my race. Time, I hope, has taught me how veiy difficult it is to do so, , to do good in our day and generation. But ( when I reflect that I am one of the atoms that compose this onward moving mass of the world, and that every one of the'se at oms exercises its influence,be that small or j large, I take courage, and renew my la- j bors. It has been lately shown that one single grain of wheat may, bydividinganJ , transplanting, be made to produce in one | year ninety-seven thousand grains.* Is j not this an instructive lesson, and what ; does it not encourage me to hope, if I can j plant one single good seed? I have beeir led to these reflections by reading the two j last numbers of “Colo ” in your Herald of Sept. 21. “This is my own, my native land, - ’ speaks volumes to the heait. “Co lo ’ evidently feels this: and pardon me, Mr. Editor, if I say I feel it too. Truly, j we of the upper Districts of South Caroli-1 na, notwithstanding all the slanders of all the scribblers, have our tents cast in the pleasant places. It has been too fashiona ble, even among ourselves, to underate our advantages and to place our disadvantages forwatd in too bold relief. Now, I venture to say, there is rarely upon the face of the habitable globe a tract of countiy that u nites so many alvant.iges as this, the cc.untry of our nativity. Composeed of gen tle slopes, hills, dales, mountains and val leys: watered with ten thousand springs of the purest water. A climate and a soil favorable lo every species of grain, an,l on which may be grown almost every variety of fruits. A capacity for grow ing all kinds of stock found useful to civilized man. — Vi’hat more should we desire, that the earth j should produce spontaneously,or that each ; one of these advantages should he in the supuilative degree ? That would he ask ing too much. We ought to be content with a full measure, as our distributive share. To have them all in the highest de gree, would he a “Paradise Regained.”— “ But our country is getting old —our lands are worn, or wearing out—they will not inst alwavs.” If this he true at all, it is only true so far as we are in fault, because we do not work it right. In China, the era lie of the human race, where lands have been under cultivation thousands ot years, they are at this day far more productive than ours, and support a population ten times as large. Nor is there any reason to j believe that they, or the people of any oth er country, have yet reached the highest point of productiveness. But they under stand that plants, as well as animals, must be fel, and that both thrive in proportion as thev are fed liberally. They manure and pulverize their soils deeply and thor oughly. 1 do not mean to sav that we should servilely iinmitate the practices of older countries. We are not so much crowded yet,’ and we still have large bo dies of uncleared wood lands. But sure ly we have reached the point at which we should begin to preserve and improve our farms, and 1 rejoice to believe that the work has already commenced. 1 think I see unmistakable signs of if. In a dozen years we shall see a great change for the better, and think you, Mr. Elitor, that I can lr.y the flattering unction to my soul that I have in any degree contributed to it I Whether I may or not, God speed the day.

Ground.—T he editorol the Maine Cultiva j tor published, a few years ago, his man- I agement of one acre of ground, from which we gatherthe following results: One third of an acre in corn usually produced thirty bushels of sound corn for grinding, besides some refuse. This quantity was sufficient for family use, and for fattening one large or two small hogs. From the same ground he obtained two or three hundred pump kins, and his family supply of dry beans. 1 From a be ! of six rods square he usually obtained sixty bushels of onions: these he sold at SI per bushel, and the amount pur chased his flour. Thus from cne third of an acre and an onion bed he obtained his breadstuff's. The vest of the ground was appropriated to all sorts of vegetables, for summer and winter use: potatoes, beets j parsnips, cabbage, green corn, peas beans. cucumbers, melons, squashes, &c. with rif i ty or sixty bushels of beets and carrots for the winter food of a cow. Then lie ha 1 also a flower garden : raspberiies. currants ! and gooseberries in great variety and a few I choice apple, pear, plum, cherry, peach and j i quince trees. Some reader may call the above a ‘Yan kee trick,’ so it is an 1 our object in pub lishing it is to have it repeated all over Yankee land, and everywhere else. IT a lamilv can be suppoited from one acre of j ground in Maine, the same can he done in j every State and County in the L nion. liiiiissiiA irtr. r's-i fgfr IhsC g]kj. | ■ GUDBRAND OF THE MOUNTAIN. A NORWEGIAN TALE. There once lived a man whose name was Gudbrand; and as he possessed a farm in a remote spot on the declivity of a mountain, people called him Gudbrand of the Mountain. He lived so happy with bis wife and and they agreed so well, that she thought ! everything her husband did was for the \ best, and that it could not be improved up- 1 on. Let him manage any how, she always j found means to be delighted with what was done. This worthy couple were the owners of a piece of arable laird and a hundred dollars itt their strong box, besides a couple of rows in the stable. One day the wife said to Gudbrand, “I think we j ought to take one of our cows to town and | sell it in order that we may have a little pocket money at our disposal; for we are such industrious people that we ought to have a few shillings in our purse as other folks have, particularly, as we don’t wish to touch the hundred dollars in the chest. Attd really 1 don’t know what we should wairt mote titan one cow, and l shall he the gainer by having only one to attend,in stead of being bothered with two.” Gudbrand thought this was all very pro per: and so he immediately took ihe cow and went to town to sell it. But it hap pened that there was nobody in the town that was willing to purchase the cow. 11 Never mind,” thought Gudbrand ; “111 go home again with tny cow ; 1 have both the stable and the yoke ready for her, an I the way is no longer back than coining;” and with this cheering reflection he plol- I ded homewards in the most contented inood. lie had not gone far before he met a man with a horse that he wanted to sell.— i Now Gudbrand thought it were better to have a horse than a cow, so he made an exchange with the stranger. When he had gone a little further he met another man, who was driving a fat pig,before him.nnJ then Gudbrand thought it would tie better to have a fat pig than a horse, and so he exchanged with the man. He then went on, and after a while he met a man with a goat. It is certainly bet j ter any how to have a goat than a pig,” | thought Gu Ibrand, an 1 again he made an exchange with the own. r of the goat, lie went a goo 1 deal further, till lie met a man i with a sheep, and with him he likewise ma le an exchange on the principle “ that it is always belter to have a sheep than a [goat.” On going further, he met a man with a goose, and then Gudbrand exchang ed his sheep against a goose. After this , be went a long, long way, till he met a | man with a cock, and he at once made an | exchange ; for lie thought, “after all, it is better to have a cock than a gopse.” lie then walked on and on till it began to grow late, when feeling very hungry, he sold the cock for three pence, with which he bought something to eat; “ for, alter all,” j thus reasoned Gu lbrand of the Mountain, “it is better to bring one’s self back safe and sound than acock.” lie then sped on | his way home till he reached the farm of his nearest neighbor, where in he went just as Haas the ploughboy was driving J home the cattle. “Well! how did you fare in town?” i inquired the good folks. “Why, but so so,” answered Gudbrand. i “ I can’t say much for my luck, neither have I much reason to complain.” And hereupon lie related all that had happened | from beginning to the end. “ Well I’m sure! you will get a warm qaosia G3 q§ * i.f ©&aii? a a., ; reception from your wife, when you reach home,” quoth the farmer. “Lord help you. 1 shouldn't like to be in your shoes.” ( “ Things might have gone worse, how* j ever, replied Gudbrand of the Mountain ; j “but whether good, bad, or indifferent, I have such an excellent wife that she never reproaches me let me do what I will.” “ That may be,” said the man; “ yet 1 somehow I can’t believe it.” I “Shall I lay a wager?” asked Gud ; brand. “ I have a hundred dollars in my ’ chest, will you lay as much against them ! “ Done,” said the neighbor, and as twi : light was now coming on, they both set out for Gudhrand’s farm. When they had ! reached it, the neighbor remained outside ! the door, while Gudbrand went in to his wife, and they began to talk in the foliow ! tng manner: — “Good evening,” said Gudbrand of the i Mountain, as he walked into the room. I • “Good evening,” replied the wile, I “ praised be God ! you are come back again, j arc you ?” Sure enough, he was back. Then tbe j wife inquired how he had got on in town. ■“But so so.” answered Gudbrand! “I can’t much boast of my luck. On reach- I ing town, nobody would purchase my cow, I so I changed it for a horse.” | “ Ah—there, indeed, you do deserve my thanks,” said she. “We are so well off I that we may as well drive to church asoth-; j er people, and if we have the means of get- j I ting ourselves a horse why should not we? j j Pray, goodman, go and bring him in.” | I “ Stop,” replied Gudbrand, “ l have not got I the horse exactly, for after going on a bit j j I changed it tor a pig.” “No ! did you ?’’ cied the wife; “whv, | that is the very tiling that I should have j done myself! Thank you a thousand times, Jmy dear husband. Now I shall have some bacon in the house to offer the folks that come to see us. What, indeed, do we want j with a horse ? People would only say that | we had grown too grand to walk to church j as we used to do. Prithee, goodman, go ! and fetch in the pig.” “But I have’nt got the pig any more j j than the horse,” said Gudbrand ; “ for on [going somewhat further, I changed it fora j [ milch goat.” “ Why, what capital notions you always , have!” exclaimed the wife; “for when fl come to think of it, what do we want with j a pig ? People would only say, they are ! eating up their substance. But now that l j have a goat, I can have milk and cheese and without parting with the goat either. So, goodman, let's see Nannygoat.” “ But I havn't got any goat either,” an-, swered Gudbrand, “ for on going a little fur- ’ tlier, I changed the goat for an excellent i sheep.” “Now did you ?” cried the wife: “well j to be sure, you have done everything that j [ could have wished, just as if I had been j at your elbow all the time! tVhat, indeed, i should we want a goat for? I should al ways have been running after it and climb- j ing up hill and down dale. But with a j sheep I shall not only have wool to make ■ clothes with,but something to eat in the bar-1 gain. So prithee, goodman, go and fetch j the sheep in.” j “ But Ino longer have the sheep,” said Gudbrand; “for when 1 had gone a little j further, 1 exchanged it for a goose.” “Oh, thank you a thousand times over j for that!” cried the wife; “for what could I 1 have done with the sheep! I have nei ther distaff nor spindle, nor do I wish them either, and care still less for the plague of weaving cloths which we can just as well go on buying as we have done hitherto. And now 1 shall have an opportunity of tasting a bit of goose, which 1 hankered after so long, and of stuffing my pillow with down. So notv, goodman, go and fetch in the goose.” “Ah, but I have no goose to fetch,” re j plied Gudbrand, “ for after going a little ; further, I changed it for acock.” “Only think now of your hitting on the very thing 1 should have chosen!” exclaim :ed the wife. “ Why a cock is for all the world as good as if you had bought an al -1 arum watch; for the cock crows every [morning at 4 o'clock, and so we shall be | stirring by times. After all we did not want a goose, for 1 don't know howto dress ’goose's flesh; and as to mv pillow, 1 can j stuff it with seaweeds just as well. So go your ways, goolman, and fetch the cock.” “But I have no cock either,” said Gud j brand; “for, after going somewhat further, I felt so tremendously hungry, that 1 was i tein to sell the cock for three pence, in or der to be able to come home alive.” “And right well did you do I” cried the wife. “ Let you set about what you will, you are sure to do everything to m v liking. What does it signify whether we have a cock or not ? Surely we are our own mas ters. and can lie in bed of a morning as we please. And now, thank God that 1 have got von back again—you are so clever at everything —1 want neither cock, goose, sheep, goat, fat pig, horse or cow.” Gudbrand now opened the door. “Have l won the hundred dollars?” cried he. And the neighbor was forced to own that he fairly had. THE HAUNTED HOUSE. There was once upon a time, a poor ma son, or bricklayer, in Grenada, who kept all saints’ days and holydays, and Sains Monday into the bargain, and yet with all his devotion, he grew poorer and poorer, [and could scarcely earn bread for his nu merous family. One night he was roused from his first sleep by a knocking at the door. He opened it, and beheld before him a tall, meagre, cadaverous looking priest. “ Hark, ye, honest friend,” said the strati ; ger, i have observed that you are a good jChristain, and one to be trusted; will you undertake a job this very night ?” “With all my heart, Senor Padre, on condition that I am paid accordingly.” “That you shall be : but you must suf ’ for yourself to be blindfolded.” To this the man made no objections; so being hoodwinked, he was led by the priest through various rough lanes and winding passages, until they stopped before the por ta! of a house. The priest then applied a key, turned a creaking lock, and opened what sounded like a ponderous door.— They entered, the door was closed and bolted, and the mason was conducted through an echoing corridor, an 1 a spacious hall, to an interior part of the building.— Here the bandage was removed from his eyes, and he found himself in a patio, or court,dimly lighted by a single lamp. In the centre was a dry basin of an old Moorish fountain, under which the priest requested him to form a small vault, bricks and mor tar being at hand for the purpose, lie ac cordingly worked all night, but without finishing his job. Just before day-break, the priest put a piece of gold into his hand, and having again blind-folded him, con ducted him back to his dwelling. “Are you willing,” said he, “to return and complete the work?” “Gladly, Se nor Padre, provided I am so well paid.”— Well, then to-morrow at midnight 1 will call again.” He did so, and the vault was completed. “ Now,” said the priest, “ you must help me to bring forth the bodies that are to be buried in this vault.” The poor mason’s hair rose on his head at these words; he followed the priest, with trembling steps, into a retired cham ber of the mansion, expecting to behold some ghastly spectacle of death, but was relieved on perceiving three or lour portly jars standing in one corner. They were evidently full of money, and it was with great labor that he and the priest carried them forth and consigned them to their tomb. The vault was then closed, the pavement replaced, and all tra ces of the work obliterated. The mason was again hoodwinked and led forth by a route different from that by which he had come. After they had wandered for a long time through a perplexed maze of lanes and alleys, they halted. The priest then put two pieces of gold into his hand: “Wait here,” said he, “until you hearthe cathedral bell toll for matins. If you pre sume to uncover your eyes before that time, evil will befall you:’’ so saying, he de parted. The man waited faithfully, amus ing himself by weighing the gold pieces in his hand, and clinking them against each other. The moment the cathedral bell rang its matin peal, he uncovered his eyes, and found himself on the banks of the Xe tiil, from w hence he made the best of his way home, amt revelled with his family for a whole fortnight on the profits of his two nights’ work ; after which, he was as poor as ever. He continued to work little, pray a good deal, and keep saints’ days and holy Jays, from year to year, while his family grew up as gaunt and ragged as a crew of gyp sies. As he was seated one evening at the door of his hovel, he was accosted by a rich old curmudgeon, who was noted for owning many houses, and being a griping landlord. The man of money eyed him lor a moment from beneath a pair of anx ious, shaggy eyebrows. “ I am told, friend, that you are very poor.” “There is r.a denying the fact, senor —it speaks for itself.” “I presume, then, that you will be glad of a job, and will work cheap.” “As cheap, my mas ter, as any mason in Greneda.” “That’s what I want. 1 have an old house fallen into decay, that costs me more money than it is worth to keep it in repair, for nobody will hve in it: so I must contrive to patch it tip and keep it together at as small ex pense as possible. The mason was accordingly conducted to a large deserted house that seemeJ go ing to ruin. Passing through several empty halls and chambers, he entered an inner court, where his eye was caught by an old Moorish fountain. He paused for a mo ment, for a dreaming recollection of the place came over him. “ Pray,” said he, “ who occupied this house formerly ?” “A pest upon him !” cried the landlord, “it was an old miserly priest, who caied for nobody but himself. He was said to be immensely rich, and, having no rela tions, it was thought lie would leave all his treasures to the church. He died sud denly, and the priests and friars thronged to take possession of his wealth, but noth ing could they find but a few ducats in a leather purse. The worst luck has fallen on me, for since his death the old fellow continues to occupy my house without pay ing rent, and there’s no taking the law on a dead man. The people pretend to hear the clinking of gold alb night in the cham ber where the old priest slept, as if he were I counting over his money, and sometimes a groaning and moaning about the court. — , Whether true or false, these stories have brought a bad name on my house, and not i a tenant will remain in it. “Enough, said the mason, sturdily: | “let me live in your house rent-free until ] some better tenant presents, and I will en i gage to put it in repair, and to quiet tile j troubled spirit that disturbs it. I am a [ good christain and a poor man, and am not to be daunted by the devil himself, even though he should conic in the shape of a big bag of money!” The olfer of the honest man was readily accepted: he moved with his family into the house, and fulfilled his engagements. By little and little he restored it to its for mer state: the clinking of gold was no more hearl at night in the chamber of the defunct priest, but began to be heard by day in the pockets of the living mason. In a word, he increased rapidly in wealth, to the admiration of all his neighbors, and became one of the richest men in Grenala: he gave laigesums to the church, by way, no doubt, of satisfying his conscience, and i never revealed tiie secret of the vault until j on his death-bed to his son and heir. The most dangerous kind of bat that sometimes flies at night, is the brick-bat. ‘•Strike.’’ —One of our city tailors was on a ‘‘strike'’ yesterday. He struck his • wife, upset his eldest boy into the slop 1 pail, knocked his little daughter into the I frying-pan, split open his dog’s head, and threw his cat and tea-cups out of the attic i window. j A Libel.— The Persians have a saying that “ten measures of talk were sent down upon the Earth and the women took nine.” Liverpool. —Liverpool,the greatest com mercial city in the world, except London and New York, has at last resolved to hare a Chamber of Commerce. Rather Weak. —We heard a gentleman 1 remark lately, says the Spirit of the Times , that he was growing weaker every day. He has got so weak now, he says, that he can’t raise—five dollars. Fashion. —An extremely fat man was lately pointed out in Broadway as a gen tleman of fashion, “Yes,” replied a lady, “ he looks as if he was quite the ton.” Stars.— A contemporary let oil'the fol lowing: “Woman—the morning star of infancy, the day star of manhood, the even ing star of‘age. Bless such stars; may we bask in their influence until we are sky high.” Why is a looking-glass like a back-bi terl Because it indulges in personal re flections.
