MISCELLAN Y.

I1AKD TIMES. Extract from the Address of the Carrier tf the Ithaca Journal, to its Patrons. "The times are hard!"' quite hard, indeed! 'Tis hard to find a "friend in need;" Th hard to pay up an old debt, And htird to dun, and hard to get; Tia hard an honest man to find, And hard to tell a woman's mind; 'Tis herd persuading imids to marry, And hard for bachelors to tarry; 'Tis hard to find a man and wife M'ho have not son- domestic strife! 'lis hard against the wind to sail, To speculate and not to fail. "Tis hard to ask, and meet repulsion, 'Tis hard to rhyme upon compulsion, 'Tis hard to print without one's pay, And what's not hard it's bard to toy. hut though the Times so hard are getting-, "Vec9nnot soften them by fretting; They will not heed at alt our clamor; Then at them, lads, 'with tongs and hammer.i Tour blows with industry repeating, They soon will soften down by beating; We'll at them, too, -with balls and pr-eas, Until they yield us some redress; And 'rimes," if thus we persevere, Will soften by toother year! That this may be the Consummation; la both our wish and expectation; And growing rather dull nd dry, We'll take the glass that's in our eye, And drink to all a "Happy Tear " With credit, friend", and cash to chrer; And every joy that can impart Contentment to an honest heart; And since the D 1 inspires our lays, If they should merit pay or praise, All that's requir'd, good friends, of you, Is but to "give the J) 1 his due!'' Management of Children. In reflecting upon the subject, I have been impressed with the idea, that there is room for improvement in the management and government of children. To assist parents in this desirable object, a friend to good and wholesome government would wish to give .1 few simple rule?, which if followed, cannot fail to have the effect suggested: If one parent has refused a child a plaything, sugar-plum, orany thingelse, let the other be sure to interfere, and say, "Poor thing it wants it, and ought to be gratified." If a child be stubborn or wilful, and need chastisement, and one parent attempts to inflict it, let the other by all .mcan-3, interfere, with, "Poor thing, it sha'nt be banged to death." In short, let parents never agree in what is best to be done, and the child will soon know what is what, and be fitted for manv things. If a child oiTend. either bv breaking a plate, or in any other way, never stop to reflect, least the temper should cool, box its cars with a smart blow; a powerful thump on the head has a wonderful influence upon the faculties. If a child begs for a thing which has been two or three times refused, and at length sets to crying relent, and let it have the thing cried for, by all means: it will learn him perseverance. As your daughters grow up, let them run from home in the evening, without knowing with whom or where; for why should parents be too particular? This indulgence v?ill fit them for several things. A good deal of whipping is by nil means recommended; it makes children hardy, and a little shameless, and generally compels them tolie; but this will fit them for the buffeting of life. Follow these rules, and my words for it, childern will never break their parent's hearts, for parents who have hearts to be broken will never follow them. Recollections of the Baron Steuben The B aron was as rouzh as an ocean in a storm, when great faults were committed; but if in a sudden gust of passion he had injured, the redress was ample. 1 recollect that at a review near Morristown, a Lieut. Gibbons, H brave and good olliccr, was arrested on the spot and ordered into the rear,fora fault that another had committed. At a proper moment, the cornmnnder of the rcqiment came forward and informed the Baron of Mr. Gibbons innocence, of his worth and his accute feelings under this unmerited disgrace. Desire Lieutenant Gibbons to come to the fro.-.t, Colonel. Sir, said the Baron to the voting officers, the fault which was made bv throwing the line into confusion, might, in the presence of an enemy, have lecn fatal. I nrrestedyotias its "supposed author, but I have reason to believe that I

was mistaken, and that in this instance l 'orsc and worse. On a fair calculation from you was blameless; I ask jour pardon ;jnotices in the papers of the state of New-York,

return to your command; I would not deal unjustly with any, much less by one whose character as an officer is so respectable. All this passed with t-he Baron's hat oil, the rain pourinir on his reverend head. j Though never master of our ianc:uap;e. the Baron understood and spoke it with sufficient correctness. He would sometimes of purpose miscall names, and biend or adopt words similar in sound, but dissimilar in meaning. Dining at head-quarters, which he did frequently,

Mrs. Washington asked what amusement

he had recourse to now that the certain ty of peace had relaxed his labors? I read, my lady, and write, and play chess, and yesterday for the first time, I wentn fishing. I sat in the boat three hours, it was exceedingly warm, and I couch onlv two fish; they told me it was fine sporti What kind of fish did you take Baron? I am not sure, but I think one of them was a whale, A whale, Baron, in the North River! Ycc, I assure 011, a very fine one, my lady. It was a whale was it not? appealing to one of his aids. An eel, Baron. I beg your pardon lady. but the gentleman certainly told me it was a whale. THE WAY THEY DO IN KENTUCKY. An extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kcjituckj, io his friend m Aezu Lng land. I will give you a short specimen of a stump speech from a Brigadier General of the militia, who had presented himself as candidate for Congress: "Fellow Citizens When I sec around me the a-boriginies of my country it fills tny heart with gratitude (huzza.) I rejoice that I live in a country where the sun shines on the door of the cottage as well asupon the palace (huzza.) It is said by somo that I have been an enemy to my country; that I did not assist in thejate war (huzza.) But I shall be able to prove to you that I am not an errcmy to my country -(huzza.) "tis true I did not go out in the army myself, but I sent my horse'' (huzza) "Let us vote for his horse,'' said d wan." In one of the neighboring counties, a very respectable man, (as is sometimes the care;) came out as a Representative for the Legislature; his opponent was a well fed rustic who had to recommend him not only great coporcal strength, but also the reputation of being a good fiddler. To make the best use of his oualifications, he gave the people to understand that they might have dances as often as they pleased and he would fiddle for them gratis. The other candidate, a Mr. Mason, soon found that the current of popularity was setting sc strong in favor of the lusty fiddler that his chance of success was hopeless, unless he could divese some plan to change the current. The fiddler gave a grand ball, (or at least his services,) to w hich nil were invited. Mason was present, among the rest, and in the midst of their hilarity, he observed that the fiddler played with his left hand. He directly whispered in the car of one of the country dames, that the fiddler was imposing upon the company. When he is in town, said Mason he plays with the right hand, but he thinks that his left hand is good t 1 11 m 1 1 11 cnougrt lor country ioiks. 1 ne nan was soon in an uproar, and so exasperated were they with the insulting fiddler, that he had no other alternative than to give them right hand music or to leave the Hall. To comply with the former he could not, and with the latter he was enabled to by the assistance of his audi tors. 1 he consequence was, that he lost the election. A deep will The modern system of bor ing for W3ter, when wells are to be sunk carries; very deep indeed: but it appears that, the old, r l- u 3 i , i practice of digging, when duly persisted in, was' ,, ? i r.i ii 4 r r capable of going deeper still. As a proof ofthi ft Frnrh nufhor relato an mfanrA wKppp .., - . - - - labourers had been employed for several months in digging a well, without finding water: and at length, after getting through various strata, they cams to abroad, flat, whitish stone. Upon this they struck for a considerable time, until, as they were wondering at its extreme hardness, one of the workmen fancied that he heard voi. ces some where beneath. This was actually the fact for they had. without knowinc itj

Old sleepy head started rubbing his eyes, and exclaimed, "Mr. Speaker! a word or two upon that bill, for one half of my constituents get their living no other way.'' A child W83 brought one day to a country church to be baptised. The priest had been drinking a little freely, and could not find the place in the book. Bless roe!" says he turning over the leaves, "this child is verry difficult to baptise.' it appears that there will be eighteen or twen ty applications for new banks, at the next ses sion of the Legislature, caking in all a capital of about seven millions. Pythns, king of the Lydians, instead of promoting the progress of real impri cement and wealth, viz: the good cultivation of the soil, was so much wrapt up in sordid avarice, as to employ a great portion of the labors of hU subjects in working mines. His queen, wishing to reform her husband &. relieve his subjects, hit on the following expedients When he had just re turned from a journey, she brdered his table

(to be serred with a splendid" repast of Gold and

Silver, wrought in the form of fruit! Ihe king in vain sought to appease his appetite among the sightly articles on the table ; he owned that gold and silver were merely ornamental, took the hint thus wisely suggested by his cueen,and promoted the happiness of his subJes by the encouragement of agriculture. Roaring Hidre The rumbling noise so fre quenily heard in the winter at this place, as mentioned last week, has been thus tccoun'ed tor; the snow which is melted in the middle of the day runs into the crevices of the recks in this ridge and there freezrs.
