Prom the Portsmouth Ft. H. Journal. GOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD. Mr. Printer, —There is a sore evil under the tun* which seems hitherto to have escaped the notice of your correspondents, hut whiobU said to prevail roty .tnniwK in tlfis hospitable town. It is a good neighbourhood. Nay, start not. —Mr. Printer, It is indeed a sore evil as you shall presently hear. I am an unmarried Lady, aJittle advanced bevond the period of youth,and in /act approaching that age in which one does not like to have one’s early habits interrupted. Mv friends think me somewhat particular, •rid—for the word must come out—a little otdmaidish 5 but I hear their raillery with a good humor, (hr 1 am conscious that what they lauglt at, is only a love of neatness and regularity. Having a decent competence, and no near relations with whom I could reside, I lately purchased a small house, in the midst of a very good neighbourhood, and last week 1 commenced house-keeping with high hopes of comfort and enjoyment. But alasl Sir, one short week has clouded the prospect; and unless I can sell my hditse and escape, I shall die of a good neighbourhood before the Thanksgiving. shad just got over the hustle of removing, and was quietly seated in my little parlour with my knitting work in my hands, •nd the last Literary Gazette spread before me on the table, when the door burst open, and five little urchins rushed lh, all clamorous at once to tell me, that their Mamma, Mrs. Pryabout, would have the filcasure of taking tea with me and spendng. the evening ho a neighbourly way. — I therefore tola them with a smile, that I should be very happy tosee their Mamma—and that on some leisure day 1 should be very happy to see them too. But here I found I was anticipated.— “Mamma told us that if you were alone, We might stay an hour or two, as she was very busy this afternoon and meant to live with you in a neighbourly way.” Though somewhat startled at this, 1 submitted With a good grace, laid aside my knitting •nd paper, and gave Up the afternoon to mv little neighbours.—What proficients they were in Hie arts of good neighbour hood, my furniture and parlor will exhibit for many years. My tables were scrached my sofa was tom, one of the legs of my arm chair broken, and an ugly hole hurt in my carpet.*——When their Mother arrived about six o’clock, she found me busily employed in repairing the damage, and casting her eyes complacently round the room, exclaimed, U I am afraid Miss Barbara, the children have been troublesome —but the dear little creatures have such spirits”! But this, Mr, Printer, was only the begioaiog of sorrows. Mrs, Pryabout took

1 tdlWiwl i Ml manner of inquiries about my domestic .JiiHiittMffint, and to give me all manner of good Mtice —in a very neighbourly war.—in the evening, I was favoured with the company of Mr, Pry about, Mm. Fidgetty, and the two Mimes Peepintbedrawers, who all proved themselve* to hr excellent good neighbours by opening my cupboards inspecting fay bed-clothes, and counting my Jinan. At they were only neighbours, and meant to live without ceremony, they staid late, devoured my cake and fruit, and promised on departing to come again very soon, and make me another neighbourly visit. I went to bed with a sick head-ache. But as lam an early riser 1 found myself dressed in the morning before any of my ■kind neighbours were stirring. I was just coming over the stairs, when a loud rap summoned me to the door. 1 found a little dirty child shivering in the frosty air, “Mother wants to know Ma’am, if you will lend her your washbowl—she is just getting up, and wants to wash her face this morning.” And who isl your Mother! 1 exclaimed with some astonishment. Oh, she lives jutt here in the neighborAnd has she no wash bowtf No, Ma’am, when she washes her ftp, she always borrows. Amused with the novelty of the reqmst, I lent the little urchin the wash bowl, and exhorted her to make use of It herself before she returned It.

In aboot five minutes, 1 was summoned again to the door, “Mother told me to tell you, Ma’am, that you forgot to send her a towel. She never borrows a wash-bowl Without a towel.” In some amaxement, I banded to her a towel. “Is there any thing else, my little girl,— for your mother seems to be quite neighbourly 7” Yes—no—yes—nothing else at present. Mother want! to borrow Some soap; but She told me to come again for that presently for if 1 asked for two things at once you might not be willing to lend them. I returned to the parlour, musing upon the blessing ofa good neighbourhood,#ben half a dozen rapid knocks at the door again startled me. The aertrfint came in auu said that three or four children at the door were all asking to see me. 1 hastened to meet them with no little alarm—“ What is It my children? do you wish Ao tee me?” Boy . —Uncle wants to know if you’ll— Little Boy. —Mother sent me to ask you to—— GiV/.—please Ma’am to— All.— Lend— Boy.— him your axe, Little Boy.— her your tub. Girl. —sisteryour thread case. Man approaching. —Can you lend me your wheel-barfow Ma’am? , Woman just behind him. —l want to borrow your clothes-line just for half an hour Ma’am.

Third boy. —Father says, if you take the newspaper Ma’am he would like to borrow it for a little while. Before t could answer these multifarious little note written in a tine Italian hand on rose-colored paper and very fantastically turned up at the corners, was put into my hands by a little girl with a basket onher arm, who pressed forward with eagerness through the crowd. Her silence pleased me; and I immediately opened and read—“lf my dear Miss Catnip will lend me that beautiful lace cap which I saw in her bureau last evening, fine will confer an unspeakable favor Upon her affectionate friend and neighbour Hester Peepinthedrawer. P. S.—My sister Catherine would be under infinite obligations to you, if you would lend her your cinnamon-coloured calash to make a few calls in, this forenoon. N. B.—George would like to read Mr. Everett’s Oration which was lying on your table yesterday, but I tell him he must call this forenoon and borrow it himself. . 2d P. S.—Mamma will thank you for the loan of a couple dozen of eggs.” While I was half distracted with these various applications, a round rosy-toloured gentleman, who lives just in the neighbourhood, passed by, and seeing some distress in my countenaece, kindly stopped to inquire after my welfare. “I am afraid Miss Barbara you have lived too much alone—but you have got now into a good neighbourhood, and I hope mean to live neighbourly. I intend myself to step in, one of these mornings, and drink a glass of your fine bottled cider before breakfast. I have heard much of iL And by the way, Ido not care if I borrow a dozen bottles now till I can buy some myself.” I tamed towards— Another knock!—l will ran to the window to reconnoitre—As I live, there are three children at the door with baskets, a

CTmittßAMare. “Oh Death! inevitable fate,why wilt tiwtt be so imperative? why dost thou fay thy chifling band apon as with so little lenity ? why mast the youth, jast at the verge of manhood, the pride of a fond mother’s heart, and the only prop of her declining rears, when he is just beginning to verify lie fondest hopes of future eminence,when le has jast coocladed a long and expensive toorve of study, and is about to asher himjelf apon the world, as a professional character, or has, by his merit, obtained some office of emolument, and would shield an affectionate parent from the cares and Eains of suffering poverty#nd tend to make er last day’s comfortable, by the reflection, that all her trials and exertions were not expended for nought—why, at such a crisis as this, must thy scythe of destruction be stretched form? why has death, fae king of terrors, claimed as his victim, one who was a dutiful Sou, a Warm and constant friend, an affable and affectionate youth 1 one beloved by ail who knew him, ahd whose good qualities were admired by all who were acquainted with them. Let us not anticipate an answer, but exclaim With fortitude, ‘‘The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away—‘blessed be the name of the Lord.” Pietv communicates a divine lustre to the female mind—beauty and wit, like the flower of the field may flourish for a season, but age will nip the bloom of beauty; sickness and sorrow will stop the current of tilt and humour, and in that gloomv time Which is appointed for all, Piety will support the drooping soul like a refreshing dew upon the parched earth.

without doubt thou has often wept for the sorrows of the unhappy, and often sighed for therr relief—and -tears and sighs avail not while the hand of Charity is closed to their wants. Has Providence been bountiful, and blessed you with fortune and friends? Show the sincerity of your gratitude by your afleettott Atr Wo t. it nt tilts, and your buuiitlAH distribution of happiness and comfort to the needy and distressed: then shall your years roll away in contentment, and your mouldering ashes rest in peace. “ Worthily to loVe, and fondly to devote ourselves to the happiness of another, who deserves our high regard, is not condemned by religion. It is not even a weakness which it permits and deplores; but a virtue which it sanctions and commands.— And the heart that is deceived or betray, ed, need not augment its anguish by selfreproach.—Love is not only an innocent but a noble passion. When guided and controlled by religion, it is the. germ of all social virtues—the cement and* the solace of the virtuous relations of human life.— When rewarded with the hallowed possession of its object, it strews the path of duty with flowers, and scents the air with ffagrance; when unfortunate, and ill-re-qsited, it becomes absorbed in high and hdly principles—investing resignation with utiwonted sublimity, and extracting from earthly disappointment, the calm of satisfaction of heavenly hope. The process by which it is thus transformed, may impair the fragile tenement in which it taenihrined, and the dross of mortality, in such a furnace, may melt away into' its kindred earth: but the soaring, unrobed spirit, returns to God who gave it, and at last enjoys repose where it first derived existence.”

Fatting Swine.— A writer on this subject says that sour food is the most grateful aliment for hogs. One gallon of sour wash goes farther than two sweet. Dry rotten wood should be constantly in the pens, that toehogs when confined lor fatting, may eat II at pleasure. Nature points out this absorbent as a remedy or preventive. They will leave their food to devour the rotten wood, when they require it. I have not lost fatting hog for* more than thirty years when 1 used it, but have suffered greatly by neglecting it. Some of my neighbours met with frequent losses of fatting lion, till I Informed them of my practice, of which I was told by, a woman of East Jersey, before our revolutionary war. She said it was known and practised there. The writer adds, we have three blacksmithsjn this town, and my hogs eat all the ashes or cinders they make; we haul it into the pens by cart loads, and they will, as is the case with rotten wood,devour this at times with more •avidity than their ordinary food.
